Not An Intelligence Failure`

Some of us will come out of the shock sooner than others. Some of us will acknowledge the fear and the hurt sooner than others. Sooner or later we all will feel the pain. But the unfolding of events following the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon will wait for none of us. I do not rely on the fifteen or so times that I have seen the term "World War III" used by major publications like the New York Times. I rely on my knowledge of how the U.S. military, intelligence and economic infrastructure will respond to a given set of circumstances. In this case, the relevant context for these tragedies had developed long before last Tuesday`s events.

Only a few, as yet, grasp the dynamics already in motion that will almost certainly produce a long and protracted war, as well as huge economic and perhaps physical dislocations in the United States and around the world. Additional attacks on Americans are almost a certainty, even -- as I am about to describe -- a necessity. The rhetoric from President Bush and his Administration contains messages for the American people, which they do not yet grasp, and for terrorist organizations, which they most certainly do. "This is a war and it will not be a short war." "This will not be over quickly." "We have a war plan that will work, over whatever period of time it requires." "There will be many casualties. The military is prepared for that." "This is not just an effort to get bin Laden. This is a war to wipe out terrorism all over the world." "We are not thinking just in terms of a few air strikes. Ground troops will be involved. And some of them will die." "We will go after terrorism wherever terrorism threatens the United States." "Americans need to be prepared for more sacrifices and more casualties." "Just removing bin Laden won`t suffice. We are going after terrorism in all of the countries where it resides."

The last statement is the first great lie of this war. As the U.S. government has announced its partnership with the drug-financed government of Pakistan, which has supported terrorist groups from the Middle East to the Balkans, to China, to Southeast Asia, the deception begins. Indeed, after Afghanistan, Pakistan should have been the first great enemy in this war. It`s long support of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan ended only as the Taliban destroyed most of that nation`s opium crop in February of this year. As in every conflict since World War II, the drug trade will now see a new day of freedom.

And I guarantee that terrorist groups are well aware of one fact that we, as Americans, have not yet grasped. George W. Bush carries on his shoulder the political memory of a father who waged a war against Sadam Hussein and then left him in power. He can afford no such image in the current context and the military he commands must become engaged in a do or die battle. They too, will accept no less.

That said, the terrorist groups in or from Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Syria, the Sudan, Yemen, Jordan, Algeria, Somalia, Turkey, Chechnya, Uzbekistan, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Germany, Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, Albania, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and Mexico know that they are now in a "use it or lose it" position. For, not knowing where and when the industrialized nations may strike, they now realize that almost any action against any political group will go unchallenged in the world press. Even separatist groups not posing an immediate threat can be conveniently eliminated in the months and perhaps years to come. As evidenced by the almost immediate admission of China into the World Trade Organization, after 15 years of unsuccessful attempts, the warp drive for globalization - unfettered by any need to respond to public opinion - has now been engaged. The most cynical part of me hopes that the headline for this war will not be, "The G-8 Wipes Out Poverty." In this model I must say that the long discussed, but rarely acknowledged, alleged plans for massive global population reduction are no longer a "back burner" issue.

Therefore, in this context, the American people must expect additional attacks that may even include biological warfare or nuclear devices on American soil. And these attacks, already being hinted at by the Administration, will serve an additional purpose. Two days after the attacks every street and highway was a sea of American flags. Now, a week after the attacks - at least in Los Angeles - they are hard to find. Whether we admit it or not, what the vast majority of the American people really want is for this to go away. Only sustained attacks on the American people will provide George W. Bush with the political mandate to wage the war he has committed to fight - to the bitter end. As the economic impact sinks in, and as Americans feel the pain in their wallets, the willingness of American citizens to experience the carnage that has been raging around the world for decades - in the name of prosperity and for the benefit of the G-8`s largest corporations - is, in my opinion, a big question mark. Do not expect a quick recovery in the stock market based upon emotion. As we describe in this issue, the fundamental weaknesses in the U.S. economy were not blown up with these attacks. And the markets, if they can still be called that, are driven by one 800 pound guerilla above all others - earnings. With the exception of defense contractors, there is absolutely nothing hopeful to report and I, for one, cannot and refuse to be an advocate for investing in the destruction of the planet.

The United States has many enemies. It is the economic enemies that warrant the most scrutiny now because the perception that America is the safest place in the world in which to invest foreign capital has been dealt a huge blow. Further blows will come with further attacks and this exposes the fine line that the Administration must walk. Without more attacks at home, the bold gambit of George Bush, et al will fail for lack of political support. With them, the world may eventually conclude that the United States is economically expendable as nations look to their own interests. Too much economic blood in the water will start a feeding frenzy.

In the major media, in the alternative media, in Congress and around the world the context now provides the opportunity for great lights with courageous souls to emerge and to lead. We are walking a fine line on a precipice that may lead to Armageddon or, please God, something better. The Bush Administration is not equipped with a repertoire of responses sufficient to navigate the long term perils. We must dig and find something better within ourselves.

We are living in a whole New World. We just don`t know what it looks like yet. ___

The U.S. Had Advance Warning And Could Have Acted --This Was Not An Intelligence "Failure"



To grasp the meaning of the events of 9-11-01, it is critical to go past the widely acknowledged reports that the U.S. had general warnings of a terrorist attack and to look for evidence that the U.S. government had specific warnings of attacks on airports and aircraft. Further, the task is to look for any warnings that signaled the size and scope of the attack and went beyond the vagaries that we have become used to. These will provide the clues needed to understand that the devastating attacks of Sept. 11 served a distinct purpose for the Bush Administration and those in control of the U.S. economy. Given this year`s revelations on The History Channel -- including classified documents and the on-camera testimony of intelligence officers -- that the U.S. knew the Japanese were going to attack Pearl Harbor, and allowed it to happen in order to bring the country into World War II, we cannot be so blind as to overlook evidence that it has happened again.

Leaving aside the intelligence reports that are still secret and will likely remain so, and remembering the fact that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had undercover informants working hand in glove with those who perpetrated the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, a preliminary review of solid information showing that this attack could have been prevented is only the beginning of what must remain an essential line of inquiry.

It is premature to jump to conclusions about the rapidity with which the FBI has gathered essential information. I used the word information, instead of intelligence or evidence. Evidence is gathered for the court room. Intelligence is the results of a process done at CIA to evaluate information from various sources. Understanding the differences between work done by the FBI and the CIA is a key to understanding the US counterterrorist work. Hence, use end-result thinking to interpret any counterterrorist discussion and effort.

Any notice of a potential or alleged terrorist act has a well established procedure for its handling. According to a reliable source, the United States government, especially the intelligence community in the early 1980`s, had established a clearly defined procedure for handling notices of threat. The State Department was the lead coordinator and member intelligence community agencies participated in evaluations. The key is that everyone understood that the information might be untrue. That is, the information was still circulated and disseminated to the community so that protective measures might be considered if justified. That last word considered was deferred to the agency involved.

However, one thing is certain, based upon what is now known. By itself, neither the CIA nor the FBI can claim that a lack of resources or human intelligence prevented them from predicting this attack. Indeed, there is credible but preliminary and circumstantial information, that certain segments of Wall Street and the U.S. financial community did know of the pending attack. There is also evidence that the U.S. government already had the technical expertise to know what was coming and was likely using it at the time the attacks occurred.

The Cayman Islands - MS-NBC reported on September 14 that a caller to a radio talk show made several warnings of an imminent attack by Osama bin Laden against American Airlines.

Germany - On September 14, the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) reported that "U.S. and Israeli intelligence agencies received warning signals at least three months ago that Middle eastern terrorists were planning to hijack commercial aircraft to use as weapons to attack important symbols of American and Israeli culture."

According to a report filed by the Post-Newsweek information service, "The FAZ, quoting unnamed German Intelligence sources, said that the Echelon spy network was being used to collect information about the terrorist threats, and that U.K. intelligence services apparently also had advance warning. The FAZ, one of Germany`s most respected dailies, said that even as far back as six months ago, western and near-east press services were receiving information that such attacks were being planned.

"Within the American intelligence community, the warnings were taken seriously and surveillance intensified"

NOTE: Echelon is a highly secret technical intelligence gathering system used to monitor worldwide communications and coordinated in the U.S. by the National Security Agency. Participating countries, who eavesdrop on the citizens of the other member countries -- to avoid civil restrictions preventing governments from spying on their own citizens -- then pool and share their information. Participating countries include the U.S., Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Great Britain and Germany. The eavesdropping covers both telephone and email communications.

According to a Feb 13, 2001 UPI story detailing Echelon`s use against bin Laden and other terrorist organizations, "The targets of Echelon center on the penetration of the major components of most of the world`s telephone and telecommunications systems. This could cover conversations NSA targets. Also included are all the telexes carried over the world`s telecommunications networks, along with financial dealings: money transfers, airline destinations, stock information, data on demonstrations or international conferences and much more."

Germany - The German news agency "online.ie" reported on September 14, "German police have confirmed an Iranian man phoned U.S. police from his deportation cell to warn of the planned attack on the World Trade Center. The Lower Saxony Justice Ministry has confirmed the man warned of impending series of terrorist attacks, but had not been believed. Spokesman Frank Woesthoff said the man phoned America `several times`, but refused to give further details. He said the U.S. Secret Service had not told the ministry about the calls received from the Langehagen prison until after the attacks. `I cannot say anything about the man and the ministry does not know the content of the conversations,` he added. The Hanover daily Neue Presse reported the 29 year-old was dismissed as mentally unstable when he gave the warning of the terrorist attack to occur this week. The ministry would not reveal when the calls had been made."

France - On September 13, Reuters reported, "The FBI arrested an Islamic militant in Boston last month and received French intelligence reports linking him to Saudi-born dissident Osama bin Laden but apparently did not act on them, a French radio station said on Thursday.

"Europe 1 radio reported that U.S. police arrested a man with dual French and Algerian nationality who had several passports, technical information on Boeing aircraft and flight manuals.

"The man had been taking flying lessons, it added.

"Asked for information by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, French security services provided a dossier clearly identifying him as an Islamic militant working with bin Laden."

Russia - A former CIA officer told FTW that, according to a Russian newspaper article, Russian intelligence had notified the U.S. government of the attacks. They even stated that they were aware that 25 pilots had been specifically trained for the suicide missions.

Russia - On September 15, Russian president Valdimir Putin told interviewers on MS-NBC that the Russian government had been warning the U.S. of imminent attacks on airports and government buildings in the strongest possible terms for weeks.

The United States - A criminal case proceeding in New York courts at the time of the attacks contradicts the position of conservative news site WorldNetDaily.com which has taken the position that the Clinton Administration had provided bin Laden`s terrorists with encryption technology so advanced that the National Security Agency was unable to penetrate bin Laden`s most secure communications.

A February 13, 2001 story by UPI terrorism correspondent Richard Sale described Echelon`s effectiveness against the bin Laden organization in an active case against him in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan. That case, wrote Sale, "is based mainly on National Security Agency intercepts of phone calls between bin Laden and his operatives around the world - Afghanistan to London, from Kenya to the United States."

The UPI story stated that the technology had been used since at least 1995 and Ben Venzke, director of intelligence and special projects for iDefense, a Virginia information warfare firm, was quoted in a key paragraph of that story.

"Since Bin Laden started to encrypt certain calls in 1995, why would they now be part of a court record? `Codes were broken,` US officials said, and Venzke added that you don`t use your highest levels of secure communications all the time. It`s too burdensome and it exposes it to other types of exploitation.`"

The UPI story made it clear that much of the evidence in the case had been obtained in Echelon intercepts subsequent to the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in East Africa and were presumably still effective at the time of the New York attacks.

The United States - Several press reports confirm the writing of veteran journalists Alexander Cockburn and Jeff St. Clair in their Sept. 14 issue of Counterpunch. "Reports kept coming in to us of advanced warnings that an attack of some sort was eminent [sic]. San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown was booked to fly from the Bay area to New York City on the morning of September 11. But Brown says that late Monday evening, a full 8 hours prior to the attack, he received a call from a person brown described as his airport security man telling him that he should be extra cautious about air travel on September 11."

The Financial Markets - Cockburn and St. Clair report, "In addition to what we have previously reported about heightened security at the World trade center itself in the weeks leading to the attack and at the Picatinny Arsenal in Rockaway, New Jersey, Counterpunch has also learned that internal memo was sent around Goldman Sachs in Tokyo on September 10 advising all employees of a possible terrorist attack. It recommended all employees to avoid any American government buildings."

Morgan Stanley, the largest tenant of the WTC complex lost none of its 3500 employees occupying some 50 floors according to The Washington Post. Neither did Oppenheimer Funds.

FTW has also verified that at least one Goldman Sachs Vice President had taken the day off to go surfing. This may or may not be a lucky coincidence.

A Word About Promis Software

In the Sept, 2000 issue of FTW (Vol III, No 7) we described recent developments in the decades-long saga of the legendary Promis software and this writer`s interaction with members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police`s national security section over its current use by various intelligence agencies. Promis (Prosecutor`s Management Information System) was specifically reengineered and mated with artificial intelligence during the 1980s for the purpose of tracking terrorists. One of its main strengths was its ability to integrate diverse pieces of data and predict the movement of terrorists based upon financial (e.g. credit card transactions), entries through various border checkpoints, car rentals and airline ticket purchases. This special software, refined and enhanced many times since then, is capable of integrating and coordinating precisely the kind of information described above and then setting off warning bells. We have confirmed many times over that Promis` unique abilities have also been specifically targeted at financial markets to track sudden shifts in currency and stock speculation as well as the laundering of money.

That being said, we find it extremely disturbing that the UPI and the Swedish daily newspaper Aftonbladet both published September 14 reports indicating that Osama Bin Laden had possibly engaged in large scale stock speculation in the U.S. and Europe just before the attacks. Both stories suggested that Bin Laden had bought large amounts of "shorts.` Taking a short position means that an investor, betting that a stock`s price will go down, places a large number of shares up for sale at a given price usually just at or below the current market price. If a stock is in short supply, buyers will purchase the stock rapidly and the "short seller" then has a given period of time to produce the actual shares which he or she is not required to own at the time of the sale.

The future sale of the stock at a given price is a fixed contract that cannot be altered. The seller pockets the money before he has to go out and buy the shares. Therefore, if the seller agrees to sell 10,000 shares of XYZ company at $100 each and enters into a contract at that price, and if the stock price falls to $60 the following day, he can make a quick profit of $400,000 when he buys the stock to complete the contract.

It is inconceivable that such movements were not detected before the WTC attacks.

Given all of the above, which is only the beginning of what will be revealed as time passes, only a cretin would believe that the United States government could not and did not know that these attacks were coming, and then chose to remain silent. Given these tiny bits of knowledge that are now public how much more was available to the intelligence community? How could they have apparently ignored it?

Dissenters will say, "Yes but the CIA has been hamstrung and prevented from taking pre-emptive action by those liberal do-gooders in Congress." Not so. A September 14 Reuters story reported accurately, "The CIA has been authorized since 1998 to use covert means to disrupt and pre-empt terror operations allegedly planned abroad by Saudi-born dissident Osama bin Laden, The Washington Post reported Friday.

"The newspaper said the directive, signed by President Clinton and reaffirmed by his successor, George W. Bush, adhered to a legal ban on the assassination of foreign leaders but sanctioned the use of lethal force in self-defense.

"Quoting government sources, the paper said the CIA had used such force several times to stop armed groups before they initiated attacks."

A final question: Why, in light of all the information we now know the government had about imminent attacks, did the Bush Administration gift the Taliban with $43 million in May of this year? The move by the White House, sorely criticized by columnist Robert Scheer in the May 22, 2001 Los Angeles Times, was an alleged reward by the U.S. for the Taliban`s destruction of Afghan opium crops in February. Now, the U.S. government is rushing to mate with a Pakistani regime that sustains itself by, and derives liquid currency from, the drug trade. The result of that is that opium production will surely blossom again in Afghanistan - under U.S./CIA control. The obvious suggestion here is that the U.S., directly or indirectly, helped to fund the WTC attacks.

It took 60 years for The History Channel, this year, to disclose to us through U.S. government documents and the statements of intelligence personnel who participated in it, that the highest levels of both government and finance knew that the Japanese were going to attack Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. And they kept silent about it. Historically, the key fact that made the attack suspicious was that all five aircraft carriers of the Pacific Fleet were conveniently and safely out to sea when the attacks occurred. In 2001, it appears that the aircraft carriers of American finance enjoyed the same advantage, one that was not afforded to those who died in New York, or even to members of the U.S. Congress. That should tell us where the real power lies. ___



Osama bin Laden`s Bush family Business Connections

Alliance With Pakistan Will Stimulate Drug Trade, Bring Revenues Under U.S. Control - Colombian Opium Production Will Soar

The Taliban`s Biggest Economic Attack on the U.S. Came in February With The Destruction of Its Opium Crop

FTW - Money connections between Bush Republicans and Osama bin Laden go way back and the political and economic connections have remained unbroken for 20 years. And what appears to be a "new" alliance with Pakistan is merely a new manifestation of a decades-long partnership in the heroin trade.

Conveniently ignored in all of the press coverage since the tragic events of Sept. 11 is the fact that on May 17 Secretary of State Colin Powell announced a gift of $43 million to the Taliban as a purported reward for its eradication of Afghanistan`s opium crop this February. That, in effect, made the U.S. the Taliban`s largest financial benefactor according to syndicated columnist Robert Scheer writing in The Los Angeles times on May 22. But -- as we described in FTW`s March 2001 issue -- the Taliban`s destruction of that crop was apparently the single most important act of economic warfare against U.S. economic interests that the Taliban had ever committed. So why the gift?

Critics of the Gulf War well recall how, just prior to Sadam`s invasion of Kuwait, President Bush (Sr.) dispatched Ambassador April Glaspie to visit Sadam with a letter and a "wink and a nod" telling the Iraqi leader that it was OK to invade his smaller neighbor. The May gift from Uncle Sam could well have been sending the same kind of message, along with necessary funds to complete the attacks. Drugs and terrorism go hand in hand.

Until February, Afghanistan had been the world`s largest producer of opium/heroin, claiming close to 70% of the world`s total production. That opium, consumed largely in Western Europe and smuggled through the Balkans, was a direct source of cash deposits in Western financial institutions and markets.

I specifically commented on this at an economic crisis conference in Moscow, Russia on March 7. In my formal statement to the Russian conference I said,

"Just before coming to this conference I read in the Associated Press, Agence France Press and other reliable sources that the Taliban has recently eradicated most of its 3000 ton opium crop in Afghanistan. If true, I view this as a form of economic warfare against Russia [and the U.S.] because it would drive opium production more into Southeast Asia and Colombia. However, I now suspect that this will result in a shift of opium production to the Caucasus under the Kurds which will see an increase in smuggling through Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan. I should note that both Vice President Richard Cheney and the designated Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage are members of the US-Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce. Such a move would have the effect of drastically shortening smuggling routes and costs into Western Europe and of bypassing unstable areas of the Balkans.

I have received additional reports that Uzbekistan is now awash in the opium poppy and, as in the US with the CIA, that Russian military and intelligence agencies facilitate the trade as a means of protecting access to hard currency. The point here is not that the US it totally evil or the only country doing these things. But the US is far and away the most advanced nation when it comes to the use of such methods to achieve superiority. As [Russian economist Michael] Khazin has noted, the US and Britain and Germany started the conflict in Kosovo in 1999 to stave off a collapse of western markets following the Asian collapse of 1997-8. Now Colombia is a last-ditch effort to protect the US markets and European opposition is jeopardizing that plan."

The Taliban`s actions this year severed the ruling military junta in Pakistan from its primary source of foreign revenues and made bin Laden and the Taliban completely expendable in the eyes of the Pakistani government. It also cut off billions of dollars in revenues that had been previously laundered through western banks and Russian financial institutions connected to them.

Now as US military action will replace the Taliban government and fresh crops will be planted in Afghanistan, the slack in cash flow will assuredly be replaced by dramatically increased opium production in Colombia; the revenues from that effort being needed to maintain the revenue streams into Wall Street. Prior to the WTC attacks, credible sources, including the U.S. government, the IMF, Le Monde and the U.S. Senate placed the amount of drug cash flowing into Wall Street and U.S. banks at around $250-$300 billion a year.

In that context, the real history of Osama bin Laden, as America`s useful terrorist-du-jour reveals a long and continuous history, interwoven with the drug trade and the Bush family, of supporting conflicts that have benefited U.S. military and economic interests.

bin Laden

There are direct historical links between Osama bin Laden`s business interests and those of the Bush family. On September 15 I received the following message from FTW subscriber, Professor John Metzger of Michigan State University:

"We should revisit the history of BCCI, a bank used by the legendary Palestinian terrorist known as Abu Nidal. BCCI was closely tied to American and Pakistan intelligence. Its clients included the Afghan rebels, and the father of Osama bin Laden. The father of bin Laden named Houston investment broker James R. Bath as his business representative in Texas, right after George W. Bush`s father became CIA director in 1976. By 1977, Bath invested $50,000 into junior`s first business, Arbusto Energy, while Osama bin Laden would soon become a CIA asset. George W. Bush`s FBI director Robert Mueller was part of the Justice Department`s questionable investigation of BCCI. (On BCCI, the bin Ladens, and the Bushes, see the books, The Outlaw Bank, A Full Service Bank, and Fortunate Son)." Further details of the business and financial relationships between the Bush and bin Laden family are found in Peter Brewton`s 1992 book The Mafia, CIA and George Bush. BCCI, incidentally, was founded by a Pakistani.

Economics Professor Michel Chossudovsky of the University of Ottawa has just completed a detailed history of bin Laden`s career detailing his secret funding and logistical support to terrorist organizations beginning from his early CIA-supported roots in the 1980s as a "freedom fighter" through to the present day. Chossudovsky`s compelling and well documented article, Who Is Osama Bin Laden? dated Sept 12, 2001 can be found on the Internet at: http://globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO109C.html.

Bin Laden`s role has not just been as a practitioner of terrorist acts but as a trainer and supplier of terrorist organizations around the world. Included in bin Laden`s coterie are terrorist groups linked to the Balkans, Albania, the KLA (a U.S. ally), and rebel groups leading the insurrection against Russia in Chechnya.

As FTW described in 1998, and as confirmed by Chossudovsky, the key to understanding U.S. support of bin Laden is to grasp that he has always been controlled by a cutout, the Pakistani government and its intelligence service the ISI. In this manner there has been virtually no direct contact between bin Laden and the CIA. This has served the dual purpose of maintaining his apparent "purity" with his followers and providing plausible deniability for the CIA. The whole underlying pretext for this relationship evaporated with the Taliban`s destruction of the opium crop in February.

Chossudovsky writes:

"The history of the drug trade in Central Asia is intimately related to the CIA`s covert operations. Prior to the Soviet-Afghan war, opium production in Afghanistan and Pakistan was directed to small regional markets. There was no local production of heroin. In this regard [Professor] Alfred McCoy`s study confirms that within two years of the onslaught of the CIA operation in Afghanistan, `the Pakistan-Afghanistan borderlands became the world`s top heroin producer, supplying 60 per sent of the U.S. demand

"With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, a new surge in opium production has unfolded. (According to UN estimates, the production of opium in Afghanistan in 1998-99 -- coinciding with the build up of armed insurgencies in the former Soviet republics -- reached a record high of 4600 metric tons. Powerful business syndicates in the former Soviet Union allied with organized crime are competing for the strategic control over the heroin routes.

"The ISI`s extensive intelligence military-network was not dismantled in the wake of the Cold War. The CIA continued to support the Islamic "jihad" out of Pakistan"

" The Golden Crescent drug trade was also being used to finance and equip the Bosnian Muslim Army (starting in the early 1990s) and the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). In the last few months there is evidence that Mujhideen mercenaries are fighting in the ranks of the KLA-NLA terrorists in their assaults into Macedonia

" With regard to Chechnya, the main rebel leaders Shamil Basayev and Al Khattab were trained and indoctrinated in CIA sponsored camps in Afghanistan and Pakistan In this regard, the involvement of Pakistan`s ISI and its radical Islamic proxies are actually calling the shots in this war.

"Russia`s main pipeline route transits through Chechnya and Dagestan. Despite Washington`s perfunctory condemnation of Islamic terrorism, the indirect beneficiaries of the Chechen war are the Anglo-American oil conglomerates which are vying for control over oil resources and pipeline corridors out of the Caspian Sea basin."

The oil and drug connections were the subject of FTW`s story, The Bush-Cheney drug Empire in October, 2000. That story is online at http://www.copvcia.com/stories/previous/bush-cheney-drugs.ht… Both Bush and Cheney are oil men.

George Bush, Sr. was Vice President and, by virtue of executive Order 12333, in charge of all U.S. intelligence and narcotics operations from 1981 through 1989. As President from 1989 through 1993, he continued and expanded his control in these areas. Thus, it was Bush (the elder) who directly nourished and nurtured bin Laden`s evolution.

Dramatic Confirmation From Indian Government

The web site of the Indian Embassy in Washington contains dramatic confirmation for these positions. On September 4, 2000, B. Raman, Director of India`s Institute for Topical Studies wrote an open letter to the U.S. Congress entitled Pakistan`s Noriega`s. That eight-page article exposed the depth of Pakistani government involvement in the drug trade. It may be viewed at www.indianembassy.org/int_media/saag_september_04_2000.html.

The letter said, in part:

"For more than a decade, the people of India have been living in a state of half-war and half-peace due to the depredations of a large number of terrorists, outrageously called jehadists, who have been trained, armed and funded and infiltrated into the State of Jammu & Kashmir and other parts of India by Pakistan in order to make the people of India and its security forces bleed in the name of religion.

"More people belonging to different religions -- Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists and others -- have been killed in India by these mercenary-terrorists sponsored by the State of Pakistan than by any other terrorist groups anywhere else in the world"

"Many other States have suffered and have been suffering due to the depredations of terrorists, made in and exported from Pakistan and the Taliban-controlled Afghanistan -- [these include] Algeria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the Central Asian Republics, the Chechnya and Dagestan areas of Russia, the Xinjiang province of China, Bangladesh, the Arakan area of Burma and the southern Philippines..."

"After his [1993] removal, [as official head of Pakistani intelligence, trusted advisor to Pakistani leader Gen. Pervez Musharraf] Lt. Gen. Nasir traveled to Somalia, Chechnya, Dagestan, the Central Asian Republics, China, and the Southern Philippines as a preacher and helped Islamic organizations, including the group which killed U.S. troops in Somalia."

"It was he, who, during his tenure as the DG [Director General] of the ISI has entered into an agreement with the LTTE of Sri Lanka [which secured] LTTE`s assistance in smuggling Afghanistan produced heroin in its ships to West Europe, the USA and Canada"

"Another reason for the ISI`s helping the LTTE, despite its anti-Muslim policies, was to use it for smuggling heroin to West Europe, the U.S. and Canada. During Zia-ul-Haq`s regime in the 1980s, heroin had become a major source of extra revenue not only for the State of Pakistan, especially the ISI and Pakistan`s nuclear and missile establishment, but also to many senior officers of the Pakistan Army, including [Musharraf et al]"

"The way Mr. Sharif before October 1999 and Gen. Musharraf since then have been using the heroin money to prevent the Pakistani economy from collapsing has not received due attention in the U.S. ..."

"If one goes purely by economic indicators, Pakistan`s must be in as bad a shape as that of Russia, or even worse, since Russia has been in receipt of Western and IMF assistance"

"Where does the money come from? From the smuggling of heroin to West Europe, the U.S. and Canada. The U.S. Government might have stopped economic assistance from the taxpayers` money. But why should the Noriegas of Pakistan be worried when they get billions of dollars from the heroin sale in the U.S.? "

Vice President Dick Cheney`s recent comment that the CIA needs to get in bed with "unsavory characters" is a joke. That`s a bed that the CIA has never left. And it`s a marriage vow that President Bush has just reaffirmed for all the world to see. ___



An Economic Conspiracy?

FTW - [Expanded from an initial report dated 9-13-01] - On Sept. 11, 2001 the two most visible symbols of American economic and military power -- the World Trade Center (WTC) and the Pentagon -- were simultaneously hit in a well-planned and well financed attack that will have enormous and permanent impact on the world economy and American culture. Just a day after the attacks, which brought the planet to a halt, both CNN and Reuters - after interviewing many financial experts - reported the likelihood of a worldwide recession. This prediction has apparently been confirmed with the reopening of U.S. markets as the Dow Jones Industrial average lost 684 points or 7% of its value on Monday September, 17th. Americans have not yet grasped the implications for their jobs, pensions plans, home equity or future income.

As major central banks have acted swiftly, with as much as $70 billion in instant cash infusions to stem immediate spikes in oil and gold prices, their subsequent actions in multilateral agreements between the Federal Reserve, British banks and the European Central Bank, indicate that this policy will continue. But it cannot last forever and its long-term effectiveness is in question.

Just two days before the attacks we had issued an urgent electronic bulletin warning that, as a result of many years of manipulation of gold prices by the Federal Reserve, the Treasury and major investment banks, and a $30 trillion derivatives bubble on the verge of bursting, the U.S. economy was in peril of an immediate and cataclysmic crash. That crash now has a convenient -- if untrue -- explanation.

It is then, perhaps, coincidental that on 9-11, the day of the attack, there was a meeting in Basel Switzerland at the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). The BIS is known as the bank for world`s central bankers - is also the world "policeman" of the gold trade. All G-10 central banks were represented on the day of the attack. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan was there, safely out of harm`s way. Another telling coincidence is that a critical hearing in a suit brought by the Gold Anti Trust Action Committee (GATA) -- which alleges BIS collusion in the rigging of gold prices was scheduled to be heard in U.S. District court in Boston on October 9th.

In another coincidence, the headquarters of Comex, the precious metals trading exchange, was destroyed in the attacks, along with whatever records were kept there. The central banks of many nations also had WTC offices and some also had vaults in the basement. Estimates of the amount of gold stored in the WTC range from a low of $100 million to a high of $16 billion. The status of the gold is unknown at this time. What is known is that there are futures options on gold amounting to roughly five times the actual amount of physical gold in existence.

The destruction of records in the attacks was not limited to banking records. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) maintained investigative offices at the WTC. At the time of the attack the SEC was investigating, among others, Credit Suisse -- a major player in the gold trade -- for massive irregularities connected to the Wall Street Bubble. The Wall Street Journal on September 13 reported the destruction of the regional enforcement office of the SEC, located in 7 World Trade Center:

"The collapse of [building] No. 7 on Tuesday took with it documents and computer records focused on hundreds of investigations, as well as records related to broker-dealers. The New York office is well-known for handling numerous insider-trading cases, as well as small-company stock manipulation cases involving organized-crime families."

"According to an unnamed Journal source, there are off-site copies of some of these records, but `other material is lost forever, including many raw notes taken by SEC lawyers during their investigations and audiotaped evidence that was not shared with the U.S. Attorney`s office or other government investigators.` The SEC believes all staff was evacuated, but the regional director said, `It`s going to be a monumental task getting back in operation.`"

bin Laden, et al

In a number of media appearances beginning on the evening of September 11, former CIA Director James Woolsey has now begun pointing the finger at "state sponsorship," - the prime suspect being Iraq. FTW strongly suspects eventual finger pointing and military action at the one Arab country known to sponsor terrorism that has not been mentioned in any press reports - Libya. Militarily, it is an easily conquered enemy with shores on the Mediterranean and its oil reserves would quickly lower pressures on the U.S. markets.

Continuing revelations as to the complexity of the attacks continues to suggest logistical, intelligence and financial resources beyond bin Laden`s known abilities. In addition, bin Laden`s lineage, as a protégé of the CIA from the Afghan conflict of the 1980s, threatens to raise serious questions which the American government might not want answered.

As some American news outlets, including MS-NBC and the Houston Chronicle demonstrate great courage by looking into bin Laden`s past links to CIA and the Bushes, the most compelling leads are the flight training schools attended by many of the pilots involved in the attacks. FTW has begun a major investigation into links between these schools and U.S. interests and even Newsweek has issued a report on Sept. 14 showing that some of the pilots may have received training at U.S. military installations.

Dispelling One Rumor

As speculation ran rampant in the first hours after the attacks, reports that explosives had been placed in the World Trade Center spread rapidly. We quickly concluded, based upon expert opinions and a BBC report, that this was not a plausible theory. Jet fuel, burning at 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, some 400 degree hotter than the temperature required to melt steel, cascaded quickly down elevator shafts and engulfed critical support pillars placed in the center of the building. A BBC diagram of the building showed that the main elevator banks and air shafts were centrally located. This would explain why the building seemed to collapse inward as the interior columns melted.

This opinion was shared by retired Air Force General Ben Partin who has spent his career studying the destruction of various structures by military attack. Additionally, the placement of explosives in the building could only have been carried out before the air attacks and that would have run counter to known procedures for covert operations. WTC employees had experienced a bomb in 1993 and were conditioned to look for explosives. So many explosives would have been required that the likelihood of discovery before the plane crashes would have increased. And evacuation of the buildings before the attack would have greatly diminished their symbolic victory.

Quo Vadis?

World confidence in the security of US markets and the economy has been shattered. FTW correspondents in Moscow report a divergence between public and official government reaction. Three people reported from Moscow on Wednesday, an immediate move by Russian citizens to sell US dollars - the most common form of savings in the economically battered country - resulting in a dramatic plunge in public exchange rates from 29:1 to as low as 15:1 overnight. However a Russian government source told FTW on Thursday that rates on MICEX (The Moscow International Currency Exchange) have remained stable. In early trading the Russian stock exchange lost 5% of its value.

Of a certainty, consumer confidence -- recently touted as the savior of the US economy -- has been demolished around the globe. Asian economies, already venturing deeper into recession, had been looking for increased US orders, based upon consumer confidence, to boost exports as a life preserver. That life preserver has evaporated. A CNN story today quoted Asian financial expert Andy Xie of Morgan Stanley as saying that consumer confidence had "tipped over."

"We are going down to the bottom," Xie said. "no one knows where that is."

Reuters quoted a Chief Economist at Wells Fargo as saying, "A full-blown global recession is highly likely."

It is interesting to note that the plan for globalization of the world`s economy has been greatly aided by recent events. On September 17, 2001 the World Trade Organization (WTO) announced that China would be immediately admitted as a member country. If announced at any other time this move would have drawn widespread criticism and perhaps large scale demonstration`s.

A fine line is called for in the walk between panic and precaution, especially in a New World that has not been defined and needs to be explored even as it reveals itself to us. The very real possibility of a global conflict that will claim millions of lives, perhaps more, is before us. At the moment my best recommendation is buying physical gold - even in the form of jewelry - and keeping extremely vigilant. And we can pray that a free press will find its strength and purpose, and that people all over the globe will find the will to keep the madmen from driving the planet off a cliff. ___



FTW`s Warning - Two Days Before The Attack

On September 9, just two days before the World Trade Center attack FTW issued an electronic subscriber bulletin, warning of an imminent economic collapse. That collapse was to have been triggered by a huge bubble on Wall Street that was already bursting, a huge manipulation in world gold prices and the overselling of gold by central banks, and an estimated $20-30 trillion derivatives bubble that was also on the verge of an immediate implosion. We attached a shocking economic expose with that bulletin which had been published on the website www.lemetropolecafe.com. We regret that space limitations prevent us from placing that article here. To obtain a better understand of the gold issue, previously covered in FTW we also strongly recommend that you visit www.gata.org .

[As published on Sept. 9, 2001] I cannot overstate the importance of this post in helping to understand the economic precipice on which we are all perched. More importantly, there is also a huge socio-political precipice that is just as dangerous because of the fact that trust in government institutions is at an all time low. Every time there is a police shooting these days, whether as corrupt as those revealed in Miami recently; as indicative of bad judgement and poor training as the one in Santa Clarita; or as justified as those in Indiana; the "automatic" reaction of many now is that the cops are always wrong. This "barometer" of public trust indicates that average people are beginning to have a first reaction that government and major institutions are "the enemy" rather than that they should be trusted. Right or wrong, the implications for society as a whole are ominous when emotion overrides reason.

"Let them eat cake."

It is this mix of economic and socio/political nitroglycerin that scares me. I am joined by many "thinkers" now in sensing the possibility of a "Reign of Terror," or mindless bloodletting. It would have nothing to do with justice, good and evil, right or wrong and it would not subside until the fear and revenge quotients just below the surface of the collective consciousness have spent themselves. This is especially true for the nations of the world whose populations have suffered under US economic bullying and globalization for many decades.

The sooner corrective action is taken the better. The more it is postponed, the more certain is the bloody abyss, as emotional and rational "account balancings" occur at the same time as the economic ones.

Read this posting carefully and then consider two points: Since the 1998 Russian economic collapse was triggered by the "looting" by Harvard and Goldman Sachs and THAT in turn triggered the collapse of LTCM [Long Term Capital Management], were we looking at a system of greed out of control where competing pyramids fight each other for diminishing capital streams? Would Goldman and Harvard wage war against LTCM or JPMorganChase knowing that it could destroy the world economy and create a global depression? If true, that implies a pending financial and economic donnybrook, that could "Hiroshima" the economy of the entire planet. The lunatics are officially running the asylum now. As the DOW plummets - and I expect that it may be in the 8,000s or below by the end of October - I have now come to the conclusion that it is POSSIBLE, IF NOT LIKELY - that the Bowers shootdown in Peru this Spring was an intentional move. Reason: the immediate and total suspension of drug interdiction flights -- an apparent easy capitulation by the CIA -- that has since allowed drug smuggling to multiply in the intervening months. I have read some estimates indicating that cocaine smuggling to the US is up 30% this year as a result. Add to that the fact that the eradication efforts in Colombia have not reduced coca production but have instead, increased it by 15-20% or more. What better way to pour additional billions in drug money into markets on the brink of collapse while trying to maintain a public image that fewer and fewer people are buying anyway?

There`s a reason why people in this country no longer get motivated by individual cries for justice or any single human interest story, whether the victim lost a house or $250 million. In the panic of a fire in a crowded movie theater, no one gives a shit. We`re all going to burn.

Wenn da nur etwas drann ist, kann man nur noch die Wände hochgehen.

Conveniently ignored in all of the press coverage since the tragic events of Sept. 11 is the fact that on May 17 Secretary of State Colin Powell announced a gift of $43 million to the Taliban as a purported reward for its eradication of Afghanistan`s opium crop this February. That, in effect, made the U.S. the Taliban`s largest financial benefactor according to syndicated columnist Robert Scheer writing in The Los Angeles times on May 22. But -- as we described in FTW`s March 2001 issue -- the Taliban`s destruction of that crop was apparently the single most important act of economic warfare against U.S. economic interests that the Taliban had ever committed. So why the gift?

US-Top-Militärs (a.D.) warnen vor globalem Krieg:

Two Top Former US Military
Commanders Warn Of
Larger, Global War
By John Edwards
NewsMax.com
10-4-1

Two of America`s top former military commanders warn that America could quickly find itself in a global war.

In an exclusive interview as part of NewsMax`s Presidential Briefing series, Adm. Thomas Moorer and Gen. Jack Singlaub reveal several disturbing concerns about a major escalation in the months ahead.

Their interview, America on the Brink of Global War, is part of NewsMax`s Presidential Briefing series.

Both have unassailable credentials. Adm. Moorer served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the nation`s highest-ranking military official, and helped bring the Vietnam War to an end.

Gen. Singlaub is former chief of staff for U.S. forces in South Korea. In addition to serving as a field commander, he was also assigned to the CIA and is an expert on unconventional warfare.

Moorer and Singlaub have held combat command positions in World War II, Korea and Vietnam.

Both share the view that the likelihood of a greater war is strong, and fear that if several fronts opened up against the U.S. in hot spots like Taiwan and Korea, the results could be catastrophic for the United States.

"It`s not like any war we have been in before, but we have got to have it," Adm. Moorer explains.

Moorer and Singlaub say the nature of this war will require several steps, with the first military moves aimed at eliminating terrorist cells.

But Moorer believes that the war will do the job only if we go after the nations that support terrorism, including Iraq, Iran and Syria.

"I think the war is going to broaden. I think that the president made it quite clear that this is a pure case of good vs. evil and those who want to live in peace must unite and eliminate those who want to kill one another," Gen. Singlaub says.

He adds ominously, "We just have to recognize that it`s going to develop into a larger war and there are lots of people and nations involved."

In "America on the Brink of Global War," Moorer and Singlaub make several key points, the same ones they would tell the president if they were in the Pentagon today:

Focus on the Likelihood of a Bigger War. Both military commanders insist that while they would have Pentagon strategists working to deal with Osama bin Laden, the Pentagon`s main focus should be to prevent and prepare for a major war.

Singlaub explains: "We have to be thinking along those lines and not get ourselves committed in one area."

Possible Flashpoints: Taiwan and Korea. Moorer and Singlaub see these as strong possibilities for the outbreak of a larger war.

Noting the diminished size of the U.S. military, now 40 percent smaller than it was just 10 years ago, a country like China may make a play for Taiwan while American military resources are so focused in the Mideast.

Worse, North Korea may launch its long-awaited invasion of South Korea. More than 30,000 American troops still sit near the Korean Demilitarized Zone, and Gen. Singlaub, an expert on Korea, doubts U.S. forces could repel an armored invasion. The U.S. may have to use tactical nuclear weapons to stop an advance, he believes.

Moorer adds: "This is the whole point if the U.S. focuses so much strength in one area," one or more of America`s enemies may seize the opportunity to attack.

Oil Kingdoms, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, at Risk. Despite the large U.S. buildup in the Middle East, both commanders believe there is little the U.S. could do to stop Saddam Hussein from invading and capturing Kuwait as he did in 1990. A similar threat exists to Saudi Arabia. Singlaub observed that during the Gulf War the U.S. had five divisions in Germany that were quickly moved to the region, with the air and naval support to move them there.

That isn`t true today, he said. By the time we mobilize to prevent an Iraqi offensive, it will be "too late."

Moorer agrees. He thinks U.S. forces could eventually dislodge Hussein, but it would take much longer and the U.S. could expect heavy casualties this time.

Secure the Panama Canal Now. Both veteran military experts advise the U.S. to immediately secure the Panama Canal. Moorer says the U.S. has no troops in Panama now, and we need to make arrangements with the Panamanian government to ensure there is no interruption of Navy movement between the Atlantic and Pacific.

Singlaub notes that any interruption by terrorists, or by the Chinese company that controls the canal, could have catastrophic consequences for U.S. forces in Asia if, say, South Korea was invaded. Both commanders say in such a scenario even a matter of days could prove critical in preserving thousands of American lives.

"We cannot afford to lose the most strategic waterway in the world to our enemies," Gen. Singlaub says.

Tracking The Elusive Truth
Commentary
Edited by Anita Sands Hernandez
[e-mail]
10-5-1

If you were a mystery writer, say, an Agatha Christie chess brain, and were confronted with a pair of corpses, two very tall, well loved, glamorous, American TWINS) , you would review the clues with avidity wouldn`t you?

If you read every article in cyberspace, you would see, as researchers do, that U.S. spooks knew the two, beautiful twins were a.) scheduled to be offed, and b.) their death by fire would get you so crazy-flag-waving that they could put a long, long war before you and you`d bite down on it, hook and all.

The USA, CIA, NSC, Joint Chiefs, George Senior, and Dick Cheney, KNEW the WTC attack was FINALLY, about to happen. You`ll see it if you hold the following clues in mind all at once:

1) ECHELON spies gave U.S authorities a 3 month warning of attacks. A German paper reported U.S. and Israeli intelligence agencies received warning signals at least three months ago that terrorists were planning to hijack commercial aircraft to use as weapons to attack important symbols of American culture, according to a story in Germany`s daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung http://wwwnewsbytes.com

2) The U.S. already in JULY 2001, had planned to attack the Taliban before the WTC/Pentagon attacks: a former Pakistani diplomat has told the BBC that the U.S.A. was planning military action against Osama and the Taliban even before last weekís attacks. Niaz Naik, a former Pakistani foreign secretary, was told by senior American officials in mid-July that military action against Afghanistan would go ahead by the middle of October. (BBC news 9-18-01)

EVIDENCE THAT The USA already planned and attack on the Taliban. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/south_asia/newsid_155…

This former Paki diplomat told the BBC that the U.S was planning military action against Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban even before last weekís attacks. Niaz Naik, a former Pakistani foreign secretary, was told by senior American officials in mid-July that military action against Afghanistan would go ahead by the middle of October.

Mr Naik said U.S. officials told him of the plan at a U.N. sponsored international, contact group on Afghanistan which took place in Berlin. He told the BBC that at the meeting the us representatives told him that unless Bin Laden was handed over swiftly, America would take military action to kill or capture both Bin Laden and the Taliban leader, Mullah Omar.

The wider objective, according to Mr Naik, who is MIND YOU RETIRED and a PAKI, would be to topple the Taliban regime and install a transitional government of moderate (read manageable by US Oil men) Afghans in its place - possibly under the leadership of the former Afghan King Zahir Shah.

Mr Naik was told that Washington would launch its operation from bases in Tajikistan, (implying full Ruski cooperation) where American advisers were already in place. He was told that Uzbekistanwould also participate in the operation and that 17,000 Russian troops were on standby to AID IN THIS SEIZURE. (!) (At this point your AGATHA CHRISTIE CUI BONUM machinery starts clicking and you realize that RUSSIA and USA had imperialist aims related to that sand pit, i.e. it was to be pipeline for OIL biz between the new Capitalistniks in the Aparatchik Formerly known as Russia and the combined Bush/Houston/Global Marine, Sta Fe Internat`l cum Kuwait forces, i.e. their brand new corporation, only weeks old, merged September 4th, 2001.)

Naik had been told by his contacts that if the military action went ahead it would take place before the snows started falling in Afghanistan, by the middle of October at the latest. He said that he was in no doubt that after the world trade center bombings this pre-existing us plan had been built upon and would be implemented within two or three weeks and he said it was doubtful that Washington would drop its plan even if Bin Laden were to be surrendered immediately by the Taliban.

3.) Russia knew in advance...(obviously, see above) proven by fact IT encouraged citizens to cash out dollars: Russian press accounts and other activities by the russian government this summer indicate that the russians knew in advance that something would happen to america, including a "financial attack" against the u.s. during the past three months, russian media and officials have encouraged citizens to cash out of u.s. dollars pending an economic collapse there after an "attack." http://www/newsmax.com 9-17-01

4) The FBI tracked a PILOT TERRORIST (currently in custody) 2 weeks before attacks: "two weeks before the terrorist attacks in new york city and Washington, D.C., FBI agents were at a flight school in Oklahoma asking questions about a man now suspected of having a link to those attacks", according to CNN.

"The fact that FBI agents were at the airman flight school in Norman, Oklahoma, two weeks before any attacks would seem to contradict the agencyís assertion that it was not aware of any connection between aviation schools and suspected terrorists. FBI director Robert Mueller has stated publicly, "there were no warning signs that Iím aware of that would indicate this type of operation in the country," http://cnn.com 9-18-01 somebody is lying!

5) USA pulled plug on 500 Arab/Muslim websites the day before jetliner attacks: five hundred websites - many of them with an arab or muslim connection - crashed when an anti-terrorism task force raided infocom corporation in texas. The 80-strong task force that descended upon the company included FBI agents, secret service agents, diplomatic security agents, tax inspectors, immigration officials, customs officials, department of commerce officials and computer experts. (Brian Whitaker 9-12-01)

6) 6 YEARS AGO, U.S. was warned in 1995 of plot to hijack planes, attack buildings: the FBI was warned of a terrorist plot to hijack commercial planes and slam them into the Pentagon, the CIA headquarters and other buildings, Philippine investigators told CNN just a few days ago. The plan was termed ``Project Bojinka.` (manila, philippines cnn 9-18-01)

7) U.S government had prior knowledge of OSAMA CELLS. As ex CIA chief Stansfield Turner admitted, Oct 3rd, on CNN cable, US/ FBI had prior knowledge of 4 to 6 Bin Laden cells in the USA. That means the cells were completely bugged. Every phone line, every cell phone, every email. Turner said they couldn`t move in and arrest them as a.) they`d done nothing illegal, and b.) each man was here LEGALLY. Which brings us to the fact:

8.) INS sold citizenship to terrorists for 6 thousand dollars a piece, as an `under the table` bribe. There was interest in having these Bin Laden cells `peopled` or `filled out, as here inside USA, it was easy to watch and eavesdrop on them. An INS career officer, out of the ORLANDO FLorida INS office, caught and ratted out her bosses for selling citizenship to terrorists. When her bosses abused her, she sued the INS/ USA as a whistleblower and she won in court, a large cash settlement. The INS is currently appealing that decision. She Filed with aid of lawyer Donald Apignani in Florida. During her lawsuit, the INS officer sent all her evidence to John Ashcroft, head man at Dept of Justice, Atty Gen for USA. He did not answer her but sent the whole package back to her bosses. He did not want to know about it. The outraged INS officer woman is suing again in California, and while file any day, now. But let`s go back to NUMBER 7, U.S had PRIOR KNOWLEDGE

7.) CONTINUED -FOREIGN SPIES TOLD American CIA that the TERRORIST ATTACK WAS COMING THAT WEEK! That the Sept 11th birthday of ISRAEL might be the day. (72 years ago) Among the foreign intelligence agencies who penetrated the plots were French DEUXIEME BUREAU and ISRAEL`S MOSSAD units of both often working with one another. Foreign intelligence sources confirm the validity of this story and they state that they informed the U.S. Secret police who absolutely failed, neglected, and outright refused to take action as to known prior specifics of which the top-level of the CIA were informed in advance. http://www.skolnicksreport.com 9-13-01

8.) THERE WAS A deliberate leak from a double agent in the White House. Terrorists had ultra secret codes day they attacked WTC and said as much. That they had the secret phones at White House, knew where POTUS was, Air Force One, all reported on http://worldnetdaily.com as well as in all media, Sept 22nd, 2001.

9) DEAD GIVEAWAY in unusual and SUSPICIOUS market activity reported before the attacks: "Chicago traders on Wednesday cited unusual activity in airline options up to a month before 911 emergency and German bankers reported brisk activity in Reinsurer Munich adding to speculation that those behind the attacks tried to profit from their acts. (Reuters 9-20-01) How come everyone knew this was going to happen? Why would the USA. refuse to investigate when told, unless it was their own plan all along? FDR knew of Japanís coming attack on Pearl Harbor. It certainly appears that the USA/ NWO/ CIA /NSC NSA Secret White house elite who govern US backed by OLIGARCHS, BANKERS, knew in advance that a great catastrophe was about to occur on American soil and did absolutely nothing in order to prevent it.

What could have been done? Plenty. For starters, weapon-seeking X-ray security at all airports could have been beefed up. Air bases could have been put on alert. Planes should have been airborne upon the first indication of a hijacking. as it was, these hijacked planes were in the air for as much as a 30 minutes or more, after being hijacked and diverted, and yet totally unchallenged by military aircraft. At best, this was totally inept; and at worst, stinks of collusion.

There are many, many unanswered questions concerning the collapse of the towers. For example, why did the towers collapse? many engineers have stated that they were built to withstand an aircraft hit, and also to endure temperatures of 2,000 degrees. in addition, why did the south tower fall first, considering that it was hit by the second aircraft? CBC news replayed an ABC interview with two American heroes that rescued a handicapped person in the north tower. they said that while leaving the tower, they heard an explosion, turned around and saw the tower collapsing, and then ran for their lives. The question is: what explosion? the first tower was hit an hour and 45 minutes before this explosion, therefore, it could not have been from the jet fuel.

Another quote from the same article previously mentioned: why did the towers implode instead of explode? The towers came down as gracefully as a fountain of water. "too methodical to be a chance result of airplanes colliding with the structures" said Van Romero, vice president for research at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. "My opinion is that after the airplanes hit the world trade center there were some explosive devices inside the buildings that caused the towers to collapse," romero said. romero is a former director of the energetic materials research and testing center at tech, which studies explosive materials and the effects of explosions on buildings, aircraft and other structures. The towers imploded! they did not explode! a fuel fire causes an explosion, not an implosion. explosions explode out. implosions, implode in! implosions can only occur with immense planning by a highly skilled group of craftsmen educated in the unique skill of demolishing buildings by strategically placing explosive devices within the building. this requires many experts, much time and significant access to the building beforehand. the skill of implosion of buildings was developed primarily to demolish buildings in areas of high building density, so the destruction of the structure will not cause damage to the surrounding buildings. in addition, the towers came down long after the planes struck.

It is ludicrous to suggest that fuel dumping from the airplanes caused a fire hot enough to melt the inner structure first of all, who can prove the planes dumped all of their fuel into the core of the building? second, why did the fuel take so long to catch fire? third, fuel-fires cause explosions, not implosions! fourth, the structure was built to withstand temperatures of 2000 degrees fahrenheit, according to the architect and designer of the building, a man who is now deceased, but who preserved this nugget of information in an interview he recorded in 1998. Hyman Brown, a university of colorado civil engineering professor and the world trade centerís construction manager, watched in confusion as the towers came down. "it was over-designed to withstand almost anything including hurricanes, high winds, bombings and an airplane hitting it," he said. (Scripps Howard news service 9-11,01 and 9-12-01)So, why was it necessary to implode the whole structure? to eliminate evidence, just as was done to the Murrah building in Oklahoma City, before the forensic specialists could get in to examine the evidence. Just like the branch davidian compound at Waco was bulldozed by the government before any evidence could be examined. And the expert hired to look at `flashes` caught on video who told his friends that flashes proved FBI shot every child that tried to get outÖ. that man was himself killed, the day before he was to testify to Congress.

Conclusion: this was a highly skilled endeavor by a large group of well-trained people with access to the buildings, the airplanes and the explosives. they would have had to blend into the population and not look suspicious. and the bldgs in question had, a few weeks earlier, been sold BY GOV to Mr. Silverstein. NYC previously owned them (read Chase Manhattan Bank, and Citibank and those two together ARE the IMF..) Poor Mr Silverstein was 3.2 billion short and STEPFATHER BANK was out from under. Look on the Bright Side Mr. Silverstein. Not many renters get a chance to rebuild on the spot with the IMF financing them. Demolition was cheap! a few sticks of dynamite here, there. You still have a hundred year lease....

The real question is when it comes to downing two skyscrapers, who would have these qualifications? certainly not a group of Arab "terrorists" who bungled the l993 bombing and got caught. Who gained from these attacks? Not terrorists, not Al-Qaeda. It was the plantary oligarchs that let the terrorists have `count that little coup`, indulged them their one ugly, 15 minutes of fame as they needed AMERICANS TO START FOAMING FOR WAR.

Now the Middle East has the wrath of the American eagle descending upon them. What Stone age sand flea in his right mind would want that?

Houston had to do it. They were essentially drillers without fields. Pity the poor oligarchs, a plantary economy in deep recession. We weren`t buying their stuff (snuffle, sniff) Oligarchs with nowhere to invest. That`s how recessions start. When the POOR don`t open their wallet, then the rich can`t either.

Instead of concentrating on the terrorists, take a good look at what was transpiring in the USA and what can be extrapolated from it. They were like Godzillas feasting on our productivity. They took away our factories and salaries and still hoped we`d buy cars. We couldn`t. What can they do with a trillion Fords that break down at l00,000 miles and are overpriced when Koreans can make a car that works? SELL US A WAR is what!

PART II. What else has happened since the attacks?

1) the population has been in one moment, prepared psychologically and economically, for a long term war where the number of U.S.. casualties will be high (Washington Post online September 21, 2001).

2) Bush created a new office of "homeland security" (read SS, ) supposedly to protect Americans from attack. The job would involve coordination of government-wide domestic security efforts, including meshing domestic FBI, and foreign CIA intelligence, working alongside US. military, emergency officials and state and local governments. Wanna bet that this new, patriotic homeland defense position will probably not need senate confirmation, which other cabinet jobs require, nor legislation to create" white house officials said. so there will be no investigation, oversight nor accountability for this group`s actions. An abrogation of our Constitution. (Reuters - Washington 9-21-01)

3) U.S. orders 40 million doses of smallpox vaccine for $343 million in preparation for a possible bioterrorism assault. the contract has been given to a small, cambridge-based firm Acambis, a British biotechnology company who reported a net loss of $8 million in the six months prior to June 30, unchanged from last year. (how convenient to get this huge order! It would be interesting to find the crony-ism involved, here.) (Reuters news, London 9-20-01) And the media is blaring everywhere about anthrax, small box, Saran gas, preparing the population to expect bio-terrorism.

4) America and Britain are co-producing secret plans to launch a ten year "war on terrorism" - Operation Noble Eagle - involving a completely new military and diplomatic strategy to eliminate terrorist networks and cells around the world." (The Times -London 9-20-01).

5) The American Senate already OKAYED the FBI spying on the internet: fbi agents soon will be able to spy on internet users legally without a court order. Two days after the terrorist attack, the senate approved the "combating terrorism act of 2001" which enhances police wiretap powers and permits monitoring in more situations. the fbiís surveillance system is called carnivore. (Lycos network 9-20-01)

6) The U.S. plans to overthrow taliban and put Afghanistan under United Nations control, according to The Manchester Guardian - London (9-21-01) note: Yugoslavia is already under U.N. control.

7) A global surveillance system known as echelon exists and has the ability to eavesdrop on telephone calls, faxes and e-mail messages. Face-id technology gains new support. "State lawmakers who were planning to sponsor legislation restricting its use now say they are reassessing their plans." (Denver Post Capitol Bureau, 9-20-01)

9) "Experts see a high-security america of surveillance & seizures": new york: security experts in the united states are describing a new kind of country that could emerge, where electronic identification might become the norm, immigrants might be tracked far more closely and the airspace over cities like new york and washington might be off-limits to all civilian aircraft." (the nternational herald tribune 9-19-01) more surveillance of u.s. citizens.

10) "Lawmakers see need to loosen rules on CIA" Congressional leaders, who oversee the nationís intelligence system (yeah right!) have concluded that americaís spy agencies should be allowed to combat terrorism with more aggressive tactics, including the hiring of unsavory foreign agents, including revived discussion of reversing the us 25 year ban on using covert agents to assassinate foreigners. R. James Woolsey, the former director of the CIA said that "Washington has absolutely undergone a change in thinking this week." (New York Times, 9-16-01) So what we`re getting for our intelligence nickle is a dime`s worth of surveillance of u.s.citizens!

11) NATO announces a third world war is almost upon us. A Pentagon spokesman hinted towards potential targets being Libya, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, north korea, Syria and others. (NATO secretary-general lord Robertson)

12) California congresswoman, Mary Bono, R-Palm Springs warned that the country should prepare for a fight against international terrorists that will likely include personal sacrifice, the use of ground troops overseas and the risk of retaliation against civilians by the enemy. she alsopredicts intense scrutiny of airline passengers, a national system of fingerprinting and identification cards and the spectre of chemical and biological attacks on the u.s. (the Desert Sun 9-18-01)

13) An enemy is needed to justify a $344 billion war budget, when the federal government currently spends only $42 billion on education, $26 billion on affordable housing and bizarrely low, $1 billion on school construction.

14) President Bush sent his anti-terrorism bill to Congress one week after the WTC/Pentagon attack, launching an emotional debate that will force u.s. politicians to choose between continued freedom for americans or greater security. (Lycos network 9-20-01) does anybody know how long it takes to write one of these bills? it takes months! they are hundreds of pages long. this one was obviously written before the attack! how convenient! wake up America!

15) "President Bush focused his energy on building a global alliance for a fight against terrorism..." (MSNBC 9-18-01) here comes the new world order! 1984!

16) fast-moving house bill restricts liberties - much of it unrelated to terrorism! congress is being asked to rush to pass emergency anti-terrorist legislation written by the department of justice, but much of the legislation turns out to have nothing to do with fighting terrorism. instead, the legislation contains a host of items which have been on the bureaucratic wish lists for many years.

17) "we must ignore the peace lobby and show no restraint" says the Independent (hardly!)- London (9-24-01) 1 bush suspends habeas corpus: legal immigrants may be held without cause: "the bush administration today announced it is using its powers under the national emergency act to suspend the right of habeas corpus for all immigrants in the country, including legal immigrants, meaning that any immigrant in the u.s. right now can be held indefinitely by the police or government without trial or demonstration of cause to hold them." and daily on the tv they talk of putting chips in us so we can be identified, ostensibly so no Arab can steal our identity. They want us to have our true identity! though no one has yet suggested infringing the rights of U.S. citizens, the move is a frightening first step to a national tyranny, based on perpetual suspension of the constitution in the name of fighting perpetual war." l984 came, l7 years LATE.

19) President bush has agreed to bail out the airlines with billions of dollars, an industry that was swimming in red ink long before the wtc/pentagon attacks. It is obvious to anyone who has eyes to see, and ears to hear, that American citizens are going to lose their freedom. the process has already begun. eventually the entire world will lose theirs as well. Consider for a moment, the national I.D.card that is being proposed. Like any passport it could be counterfeited. A national ID card can only be concluded as the logical first step. when it is acknowledged, as not accomplishing its task, and then, guess what`s waiting in the wings? A switch to micro chip technology would be sought as the only viable solution. 666 I believe the bible prophecy freaks call it. It means that you can wear a chip in your butt just like your Dalmation.


When you have surfed around there, and read just a few articles, youíll be ready to play this Agatha Christie Solve the Mystery of who killed the Big Twins game, armed with the following secret maps I`m going to give you of what you should be seeking, searching out...

1.) FOREIGN ALLIES. What if IQ 80 Bush Jr. really had no idea that the terrorists were coming. (cough!). Very unlikely as we have seen but what if there was actually a nation state that did this as a covert military action. Someone behind Osama. Someone running him. Who might that be? http://www.morphmaster.com/binladen.htm (surf there). Who was close to Osama in his lifetime?

Someone was running him before or after the USA ran him in the 80`s. Reporters who know him say heís a happy space case dunce. Kind of like our old friend Lee Harvey Oswald whose last words alive were ` I`m a Patsy.` In another famous, CIA/OSS/SS action called the JFK HIT. It took a team of sharp shooters on the GrassyKnoll to take out JFK. Look at the Twins Murder. It was was waaaay too organized. The terrorists are said to have spoken German. Residents there for a long time, maybe? What German Terrorist movements exists full of ex nazi handlers who work the local natives aligned with a faction of the ancient Teutonic OSS/ CIA/ SS? Working the European end of the street on behalf of the Planet`s mega oligarchs, the Cash numero unos of the planet? Who but a devious Dr. Strangelove Mastermind could have created a German based Arab branch of the Meiner Badhof gang? You do know that after WWII, half the SS was moved to Langley, the other half stayed in Europe to watch the Commies. The NWO CIA has had ex nazis running its think tanks since `45..

Next, SO WHAT if they had Arab names? They still could be GERMANIFIED Arabs. In Germany, having an Arab is like having a Rottweiler. Maybe the poor Arabs are patsies. Maybe the Taliban was a kind of red herring bacteria allowed to grow rife through the middle east so that the Nazi/ NWO OPEC CIA could demonstrate it was high time for Sulfa. It was warrented and they should be allowed to bring in the bleach.

Why did IQ 80`s handlers take out 6k people and blame the Stone Age Al-Qaeda? What did they stand to gain if Arabs were implicated? OK. Think back. What did Hitler gain when he got people to believe that THREE DEAD POLACKS he`d dressed up in GERMAN uniforms were HIS OWN GERMAN BOYS, `attacked on the border by Nasty old Poland` in 1939? He got to have WWII making his handlers happy.

What did Lyndon Johnson gain when he made it seem that a simple lightning strike on the high seas was a VIET CONG attack on US Battleships? Answer: He got to send US soldiers to Nam. (before only instructors were there, it was a local civil war, remember?) Then Lyndon was trying to nab the richest oil field of planet which is right off shore south of Nam for his Handlers. The Seven SISTERS wanted that war. Dutch Petroleum, Mobil, Exon, Shell, etc..

The Commander of that American battleship later said it was just lightning flashes. Said so in his bio! 56,000 American lives later.

And what did FDR get when he let Japs bomb Hawaii? To get his peacenik people to go to a EUROPEAN war! So here, 2001, what`s the cui bonum and in whose lap do the cui bonum goodies possibly land? Follow the money trail of the future. Sniff the air blowing down upon your sons and daughters. What are the other possible future scenarios and cui bonums of re-zoning the mideast into Exxonia? Mobilia? Instead of Iraq and Iran?

DIRTY AIR is what. Our babies dying of cancer of the lungs, tumors in the brain as every Chinaman gets a Ford.

They want to sell us cars and gasoline forever. We can run fine on electric cars, ask Ed Begley Jr. but they want us in hock to the company store. Now that sounds pretty venal (of them, not me. I`m just reporting it) but why else would they risk throwing planet into war? Is there anything else they might want over there? Goats? Harem girl with cymbals? Camels? NO. OIL and only OIL. And where is it? IN THE CASPIAN. Russia has it. That`s why RUSSIA is in on this. She is selling us the oil, she is drilling it. she enters the world economy and only this war gets her in. (Heck, every war does!) I say let her in, but let her sell us Russian art, fur coats, electric cars, anything but OIL to befoul the planet`s air with fuel! FOSSIL FUEL is sheer poison!

Ten possible reasons why the rich and greedy would commit, or allow the commission of the crimes in new york and d.c. and blame the taliban:

1.) Prior to sept. 11, 2001: (1) the world was about to enter a deep recession/depression because the super rich could not find a single thing worth investing in. They had tried everything, moved factories to the third world, paying a dollar a day salaries, which threw US citizens out of work. They build/ tried to sell cheaper washingmachines and cars, but as Marx predicted, at that point, NOBODY anywhere could afford them. Sales slowed to a trickle. The rich pulled their money out of everything! They recognized the stock market was bogus. They had to regroup. Depression is when the people stop buying, as they are in debt. That debt is a result of high prices, low wages, the growing inequities, the lack of the ëfamedí Keynesian "trickle down" and the gross exploitation of labor in the USA and all over the world.

2.) Create an enemy to take the heat. Destruction of the WTC gives the appearance that this phenomenon is the result of the "terrorists" attack. it makes hungry, angry disenfranchised, `outcrowd` third worlders, who ëwonít work their way up in the world, seem puny, jealous, miserable, backbiting and makes all those who may inwardly also be a little jealous of wealth guilty and quiet.

4.) The wtc property was sold only two weeks before the atack by the INTERNATIONAL MONEY FUND, (Chase manhattan, Citibank and the ostensible `owner`, the Port Authority of NYC who all together HAD owned the twin towers. They sold for 3.2 billion, a huge profit by the way, for an Eco-disaster bldg that every Arab psychopath was KNOWN to be targeting...! And they sold it to an individual, Silverstein. The ultimate pig in a poke! The property was 30 years old, (from time of opening) and in need of millions of dollars in renovation and repairs.

5.) the airline industry was about to go bankrupt due to mismanagement, high fuel costs and simply having too many planes for the declining passenger volume. now they can blame their troubles on the wtc attack and get billions of dollars in government bail-out cash.

(6) George Dubya, IQ 80, and his Dad`s friends in the Houston oil community had just consummated the biggest merger of oil related businesses ever, with 3 partners. First, kuwait as a 17% partner, next, cia propriatary global marine, and third, houston based sta fe petrol, all of career CIA guy Bush Sr`s oil pals. A war on the arabs might well put them in a position to confiscate many oilfields and other minerals in the middle east, turn Afghanistan to toast, so they can lay pipes wall to wall and get the huge ruski oil deposits to the saudis for processing.

(7) The "military-industrial complex" Ike warned us about cannott make their huge profits on weapons and other war related hardware without a war and the army can`t make fruit salad for its bosom without war.

8.) Thereís nothing like a "good" war to rally the misinformed public around the corrupt and fraudulent government, taking the focus off of all of the stupidity, criminal conduct and immorality of so many of the "honorable gentlemen" in congress and the other branches of government.

9.) There is nothing in the social security and medicare trusts except i.o.u`s from THE USA to its people. the money was spent long ago, and thereís no way that theretirement and medical needs of the "baby-boomers" can be funded. a huge, drawn out war will provide an excuse as to why the money is gone, ie. to pay for the war. (more lies)

10.) Taliban heroin isn`t controlled by CIA the way Burma, Thai, Laotian Hmong, Golden Triangle china white was (see Air America the movie --again.) CIA is like the MAFIA. They take out the competition. The French Connection movie (rent it) was about NY COPS taking out the other exporters, the Corsicans, destroying them so that all ingresses from "made in Asia by Americans , i.e. loyal patriotic dope, sold to American addicts, goes to cia coffers and cia nugan hand BCCI type CIA banks. Thanks to Ronnieís wife nancy, there are less and less addicts every day so no chance CIA wants most of its diminishing dope biz going to competitors! The CIA has been dealing drugs for 52 years with the help of Meyer Lansky`s Syndicate, Nixon, the Bush CIA/OIL lineage, and it`s rumored with the help of Nixon`s pals` Pepsi Cola bottling companies in Vietnam. <http://www.tomdavisbooks.com/library/50yearsciadrug.htmlhttp… ks.com/library/50yearsciadrug.html

What happened in New York, is indeed, a terrible act, regardless of whom is responsible. like many webs of deceit, we probably will not know the complete truth until much later. what we do know, is that god allowed it. He is in total control and we must have faith in his judgement. Is america now going to have its wings cut with this assault on innocent, little stone age Afghanistan? These and many other questions will eventually be answered. It is our duty to wait and see the hand of the eternal, and just pray for and seek his protection, mercy, love and deliverance from all that seems to be about to come to pass? are we sure that these NWO types need to rejuggle the borders, organize things, chip us, fiche us? for the right reasons? is it useful to the whole? my spiritual friends say ëeverything that happens is perfect.í My also very spiritual and pragmatic economist friend karl marx said ëmake something better happen than what the men in power are doing for their own solvency. Trickle down is a myth.í

So, if this is the truth, what do we do? read up, study. . intelligence gathering should have many inputs. SEND this article or others like it to the news agencies. The information you read at the URLS above may be rejected by a few, brain-washed jerks, and it may be reported to those who take orders from the Nazis BY OTHER JERKS who take orders from the Nazis. But so what? If enough of us share the truth, they don`t rap knuckles cuz there are too many knuckles to rap.

Surfing to any of these URLS would be a test to see if your head is on your shoulders or if some one else, some robot behind you, is doing your thinking for you. It is quite possible that when you watch CNN and NBC and ABC and even CBS, you are being PLAYED like a lute and led like a rooster in a Tijuana Cockfight into blinding, killing yourself and your sons..

Only by researching can you save your family from being part of this bloody spectacle. Only by using that PC to surf will you save your grandkids from living in a burnt fuel cloud that burns holes in their brain. Only by demanding that Detroit build ALTERNATIVE fuel cars will you save your great grandchildren from death by bullet or tumor. Only by volunteering to drive an alt fueled car will you save your sweet air, your planet`s agriculture, your descendants. Only by writing your Congressman and saying it in your own, quiet way in a hard copy letter, (they don`t read email!) And while you`re at it, drop a note to alt fuel car proponent Ed Begley Jr. at c/o Screen Actors Guild, Sunset Blvd. Hollywood 90028 saying "tell me more, who can I write to for details?" Only then, when you`ve communicated to your elected officials, can you say that you did your job to keep your children from fighting a decade long war that would kill millions, enrich a few billionaires, poison every nation`s air with this demon smog making fossil fuel, which has thrown the planet entirely off kilter so that nothing clean grows here so that your grandchildren starve to death.

We are at a precipice. A cliff is before us. Don`t leap into war. Our name is not LEMMING. We do not jump foolishly into the void. We are the Humans of Earth. We have a voice. We have the internet. We type. We read. WE WRITE! USE those TALENTS to stop America from going on another stupid, cruel oil war and one based on lies and fraud at that!

Anmerkungen zum Spiegel-Artikel vom 04.10.01: Geldtransfers bleiben die härteste Spur

"Empfänger und später auch Absender der Überweisungen soll der zeitweise in Hamburg studierende Mohammed Atta gewesen sein. Nach den bisherigen Erkenntnissen durch Recherchen bei Banken in den USA und dem Nahen Osten erhielt Atta größere Geldbeträge von einem gewissen Scheich Said, alias Mustafa Mohammed Ahmad aus Dubai. Der Scheich ist für die Terrorermittler kein Unbekannter: Er soll Bin Ladens Finanzchef gewesen sein, während sich dieser im Sudan aufhielt."

Anmerkung: Unglaubwürdig! Denn: Wäre es so gewesen, hätten die US-Dienste längst von den Überweisungen, die ja elektronisch durchgeführt und daher abhörbar sind, erfahren. Oder wussten sie es die ganze Zeit?

"Alte Spuren der CIA: Eine Information vom amerikanischen Auslandsgeheimdienst CIA scheint in der Beweisführung der USA eine immer größere Rolle einzunehmen. So beobachtete die CIA im Januar 2000 bereits zwei der 19 mutmaßlichen Terroristen, Chalid al-Midhar und Nawaf al-Hamsi, in Malaysia. Dort sollen sich die beiden mit einem Bin-Laden-Anhänger getroffen haben, der an dem Anschlag auf das US-Marineschiff "USS Cole" beteiligt war. Unklar bleibt bei dieser Information, warum die beiden späteren Terroristen nicht weiter von der CIA beobachtet wurden und später ungehindert in die USA einreisen konnten."

Ja, in der Tat, das ist unklar! Und Atta selbst wurde laut "Focus" von Januar bis April/Mai 2000 von einem der US-Geheimdienste im Großraum Frankfurt überwacht. Falls diese Überwachungsmeldungen seitens der US-Dienste nicht erfunden sind, so gebietet simple Logik, dass man dieses "Terroristen" erst recht auf dem Heimatboden der USA auf Schritt und Tritt überwachte und genau wusste, was sie vorhatten. Oder sie sind erfunden, um harmlose Studenten als Terroristen erscheinen zu lassen.

In jedem Falle stinkt die Sache zum Himmel. Und auf dieser Basis wird zugelassen, dass ein weiterer Angriffskrieg ohne UNO-Mandat geführt wird. Einer, der noch mehr als die Kriege der letzten 10 Jahre hat, binnen kurzer Zeit zum (letzten) Weltkrieg zu eskalieren.

Soweit zu dem Artikel.

Und außerdem: Von den horrenden Geldgewinnen durch massives und höchst auffälliges Shorten [d.h. Wetten auf fallende Kurse mit enorm großer finanzieller Hebelwirkung (quasi Wett-Gewinnquote)] der beiden betroffenen Airlines und einiger Versicherer in den Stunden und Tagen vor den Terrorakten an allen wichtigen Börsenplätzen der Welt hört und liest man hingegen gar nichts mehr. Es ging dabei nachweislich mindestens um Multi-Millionenbeträge! Die krummen Geschäfte liefen global ab und wurden von verschiedenen Börsensprechern eingeräumt. Fast alle dieser Aktivitäten sind natürlich elektronisch registriert, damit also binnen kürzester Zeit nachverfolgbar und auswertbar gewesen. Man weiss somit mit Sicherheit, wer diese tätigte. Da man aber die "Täter" dieser Mords-Geschäfte dennoch noch immer nicht benennt, bleibt nur der traurige, aber einzig logische Schluss: Es waren hochrangige Personen des westlichen Establishments selbst, die sich hier bereicherten. Dies wiederum heißt, man im "Opfer"-Land durchaus wusste was da kommt, man verhinderte es aber trotzdemnicht. Denn: Wer einen Dritten Weltkrieg beginnen will, muss hierfür schon einen noch nie dagewesenen Vorwand auftischen.

PS: Schon frühere Kapitalverbrechen von Staaten konnte man aufklären durch Befolgen der Regel: Follow the big money!

Du vergeudest Dein Talent, Du solltest Bücher schreiben.

Du hast eine blühende Fantasie und verwechselst das, was Dir gerade duch Dein Hirn schießt, mit der Realität. Aber das macht nichts.

Es kommen da so Sätze raus wie:

" Es ging dabei nachweislich um mindestens Multi- Millionen- Beträge "

Das ist authentisch, das ist nicht zu überbieten. Real- Satire. Dafür werden Deine Leser Dich lieben. Das kann man nicht erfinden.

Deine Beweisführung ist bestechend, eloquent, unwiderlegbar. Für Dich. Für einen analytisch vorgehenderen Menschen ist es immer noch, aber lediglich nur lustig, was Du Dir da zusammenreimst. Ich habe aber gelernt, und das ist das wirklich Neue am Internet, es ist mir erst durch dieses Medium so klar geworden : Du bist nicht allein.

Glaube mir, seitdem ich hier poste, sehe ich die Menschen mit ganz anderen Augen. Was in deren Schädel so alles vorgehen mag, was sie sorgsam für sich behalten und verbergen müssen.

Im Internet, anonym, da lassen sie es raus.

Da gibts Leute, die unbekümmert Indien als ihre 2. Heimat bezeichnen, und fröhlich hier reinstellen, 45 % der Inder seien Moslems, mithin 45 000 000. Unglaublich.

NORAD, weißt Du wirklich, was das ist ? Es ist das Gegenstück zur ADIZ, die wir quer durch Deutschland hatten, solange es den eisernen Vorhang gab. Weißt Du, wo die NORAD-Grenze verläuft ? Offensichtlich nicht, und diejenigen, die darüber in amerikansichen Foren schwadronieren, wissen es ebenso wenig. Norad ist eine Linie, die beim Überschreiten von unidentifizierten Objekten eine Maßnahme auslöst.

Recherchier mal, wo diese Linie, die Grenze verläuft. Dann wirds vielleicht bei Dir dämmern. Aber Dir gehts ja darum, laut Rumzublöken, dafür braucht man keine Sachzusammenhänge zur Kenntnis zu nehmen.

Dann wird Dir vielleicht auch klar, was für eine irre Leistung es war, auf einen derartig unerwarteten Angriff so schnell zu reagieren und sowohl den Zivilluftverkehr runterzufahren, als auch Fighter in die Luft zu bringen, die - jetzt höre zu - nicht dafür gedacht sind, gegen im Binnenland befindliche Zivilflugzeuge in Stellung gebracht zu werden.

Norad ist eine Verteidigung gegen von außen anfliegende Objekte. Die Amerikaner haben den Feind bisher als von Außen kommend angenommen.

Ist das so schwer zu verstehen ?

Wohl dann, wenn man es nicht verstehen will.

Weißt Du, wenn Leute, die von nix ne Ahnung haben, damit beginnen, Beweise zu sammeln auf einem Gebiet, das sie nicht überblicken, dann wirds immer grausig.

Das ist so, als ob diejenigen, bei denen es immer duster ist, darüber Gedanken verlieren, wie es bei den Illuminati aussehen mag. Wie soll das gehen ?

Die eigene Grenze, bis zu der man hin-denken kann, ist nicht notwendigerweise die Grenze, die sich dem Denken anderer Leute stellt. Wenn man sich unter die Leute mischt, sollte man das bedenken.

Oder aber man postet anonym. Das ist dann für einige auch OK. Ich frage mich nach dem Selbstverständnis dieser Leute, nach dem Maßstab, den sie sich selber setzen.

Eigene Grenzen, das ist doch auch nicht weiter schlimm, wir alle haben auch unsere Vorteile. Aber eben nicht alle dieselben. Der eine kickt besser. Der andere läßt das besse4r bleiben. Der eine denkt besser, und der andere läßt besser dies bleiben.

Viel einfacher als sich mit den nicht erfaßbaren Tatsachen abzumühen ist es dann, sich die Tatsachen einfach zurecht zu legen. Falls es ohnehin nicht reicht: ist ja auch leichter, statt sich mit der mühsamen realen Welt rumplagen, einfach eine eigene, überschaubarere Welt in sich, für sich abzubilden.

Die Konten der möglicherweise unternommenen frontrunnings sind eben nicht so ohne weiteres verifizierbar, weil sehr viel über Asien gelaufen sein soll, mit Auftragegebern hinter arabischen Banken in London. Das haben wir doch schon gelesen.

Ich bin aber sicher, daß hier noch Klärungen kommen, und daß es keinen Beweis für Subversion darstellt, weil unser aller golden baerchen bereits laut seinen Lieblingsduft des immerwährenden Verrats wittert.

Nase putzen.

Und Geduld, mein Lieber.

Du hast Recht, wir wissen nicht alles. Das beunruhigt mich nicht. Es gibt so viele Menschen auf der Welt, die noch weniger als Du die Sache "auf die Reihe bekommen" , man kann einfach nicht zu jedem Zeitpunkt alles sagen. Da flippen die Leute dann aus. Die Leute bekommen doch heute schon nicht mehr alles gebacken. Nutznießer sind solche Falschmünzer wie DieSchiffrumpf, Dein Freund LaRouche, und Opfer sind solche Leute wie Du, die zwischen ernster Besorgnis und Lust am Untergang umhertorkeln.

Du solltest Dir ein Ticket kaufen, mal nach Maine fliegen, dort ist jetzt Indian Summer. Miet Dir ein Auto in Bangor, fahr an die Atlantikküste und folge ihr. Die Ticketpreise sind im Moment unglaublich günstig, die Amis heißen jeden Touristen willkommen. Es wird Dir nix passieren, und die Amis sind wirklich nette und gastfreundliche Gesellen. Du solltest jedoch - klaro - nicht erwähnen, was Du hier so losläßt.

Aber das wirst Du wohl onehin nur im anonymen Internet ablassen.

Irgendwann werde ich Honorarrechnungen für therapeutische Betreuung erwägen müssen.

sEPP,
ich bin mitunter großzügig und dir werde ich selbstverständlich keine Gebühren für Deine Therapiestunden, die du bei mir nimmst, berechnen.
Aber wenn du unbedingt darauf bestehst, kann ich dir ja mal ´ne Rechnung zukommen lassen, 45 Min. á 145 DM.
Merkst du schon ausreichend Fortschritte, oder willst du dich noch etwas mehr abreagieren? Also meiner fachlichen Meinung nach wäre es sehr empfehlenswert, du legst noch einige Intensivwochen drauf. Die Gegenübertragung, ja ja, da müssen wir noch mal ran, nicht wahr? Und dein emotionaler Aufruhr, der zu Verwirrung und kognitiven Eintrübungen führt, da müssen wir auch noch mal näher drauf eingehen. "Multi-Millionen-Beträge" mit einer "Linie", die "Norad" zieht, widerlegen zu wollen, au weia, lass das mal nicht deinen Chef hören, der lässt dich gleich krank schreiben.

ARE AMERICANS THE VICTIMS OF A HOAX?
The time has come to stop using the flag as a blindfold, to stop waving our guns and our gods at each other, to take a close look at the facts which have emerged from the attacks on the World Trade Towers and to recognize the very real possibility, indeed probability, that We The People are the victims of a gigantic and deadly hoax.

In a normal terrorist event, the terrorists cannot wait to take credit, in order to link the violence to the socio-political intent of the terrorist organization. Yet the prime suspect in the New York Towers case, ex(?) CIA asset Osama Bin Laden (whose brother is one of George W. Bush`s Texas business partners), has issued only two statements regarding the September 11th attacks, and both of those are denials of any involvement.

Huge problems are emerging in the official view of events. It`s known that the United States was planning an invasion of Afghanistan long before the attacks on the World Trade Towers. Indeed the attacks on the World Trade Towers perfectly fit the timetable of an invasion by October stated by US officials just last summer.

The 19 names of suspected hijackers released by the FBI don`t point to Afghanistan. They come from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, United Arab Emirates; all across the middle east without a focus in any one region. Indeed, even as the FBI was admitting that its list of 19 names was based solely on identifications thought to have been forged, Saudi Arabia`s Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal insisted that an investigation in Saudi Arabia showed that the 5 Saudi men were not aboard the four jetliners that crashed in New York, Virginia and Pennsylvania on September 11. "It was proved that five of the names included in the FBI list had nothing to do with what happened," Al-Faisal told the Arabic Press in Washington after meeting with U.S. President George W. Bush at the White House. A sixth identified hijacker is also reported to still be alive in Tunisia, while a 7th named man died two years ago!

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 byu the hijackers, seat numbers which were NOT the seats of the men the FBI claimed were responsible for the hijacking!

FBI Chief Robert Mueller admitted on September 20 and on September 27 that at this time the FBI has no legal proof to prove the true identities of the suicidal hijackers. Yet in the haste to move forward on the already planned war in Afghanistan, our government and the FBI (which does not have the best record for honesty in investigations to begin with, having been caught rigging lab tests, manufacturing testimony in the Vincent Foster affair, and illegally withholding/destroying evidence in the Oklahoma Bombing case) are not taking too close a look at evidence that points away from the designated suspect, ex(?) CIA asset Osama Bin Laden.

In particular, the FBI, too busy harassing political dissenters to find spies in its midst, the long rumored mole inside the White House, or plug leaks in high-tech flowing to foreign nations, has willfully and criminally ignored the implications of some vital pieces of information the FBI is itself waving around at the public.

We are being told that this crack team of terrorists, able to breeze past airport security as if it wasn`t there, wound up leaving so much evidence in its wake that the bumbling Inspector Clouseau (or the FBI) could not fail to stumble over it. The locations where the terrorists supposedly stayed are so overloaded with damning materials that they resemble less a crimes scene, and more a "B" detective movie set, with vital clues always on prominent display for the cameras.

Yet another problem lies with the described actions of the hijackers themselves. We are being told on the one hand that these men were such fanatical devotees of their faith that they willingly crashed the jets they were flying into buildings. Yet on the other hand, we are being told that these same men spent the night before their planned visit to Allah drinking in strip bars, committing not just one, but two mortal sins which would keep them out of Paradise no matter what else they did. Truly devout Muslims would spend the day before a suicide attack fasting and praying. Not only does the drinking in strip bars not fit the profile of a fanatically religeous Muslim willing to die for his cause, but the witness reports of the men in the bars are of men going out of their way to be noticed and remembered, while waving around phony identifications.

Because of the facts of the phony identifications, we don`t really know who was on those planes. What we do know is that the men on those planes went to a great deal of trouble to steal the identities of Muslims, and to make sure those identities were seen and remembered, then to leave a plethora of planted clues around, such as crop dusting manuals, and letters in checked baggage (why does a terrorist about to die need to check baggage?) that "somehow" didn`t get on the final, fatal, flight.

Fake terror is nothing new. According to recently released files, our government planned Operation NORTHWOODS to stage phony terror attacks against American citizens in the wake of the Bay Of Pigs, to anger Americans into support for a second invasion of Cuba. The plan was spiked by JFK. If our government has ever actually carried out such plans to stage phony terror attacks, the documents have remained classified. But given the reality of Operation NORTHWOODS, or the manner in which FDR manuevered Japan into attacking Pearl Harbor, one cannot rule out the possibility that, once again, the people of the United States are being lied to by their own government, to manufacture consent for a war of invasion already being discussed with other nations the previous summer.

It is also quite possible, indeed likely, that the United States is being spoofed by a third party to trigger a war. It has happened before. According to Victor Ostrovsky, a defector from Israel`s secret service, Mossad, Israel decided to mount a false-flag operation designed to further discredit Libya, and provoke the US to attack an Arab nation. A transmitter loaded with pre-recorded messages was planted in Tripoli, Libya, by a Mossad team.

The `Trojan Horse` beamed out fake messages about Libyan-authorized bombings and planned attacks that were immediately intercepted by US electronic monitoring. Convinced by this disinformation that Libya was behind the 1986 bombing of a Berlin disco in which a US soldier died, President Ronald Reagan ordered massive air attacks on Libya, including an obvious- and illegal(under US law) attempt to assassinate Qadaffi himself. Some 100 Libyan civilians were killed, including Qadaffi`s two year old daughter. Libyan officials had no idea why they were attacked.

It is worth remembering the motto of the Mossad is, "By way of deception, thou shalt do war."

Whether they were involed in the attacks or not, it cannot be doubted that Israel has benefited from the attacks in New York. While world attention is focuzed on what the US will do in Afghanistan, Israel has escalated its attacks against Palestinians towns. Israel has repeatedly tried to claim that Palestinians were involved in the New York attacks, hoping to bury the Palestinian cause under the rubble of the World Trade Towers.

Because of the faked IDs and stolen identities, we don`t really know who planned the World Trade Towers attacks. We only know who they wanted us to blame.

And we know that the United States has been tricked in the past into bombing someone who did not deserve the attack, and that those who were bombed then embarked on what from their point of view was justified retaliation that culminated over Lockerbie. And while bombs were falling and planes were crashing, Israel was laughing at us that we had been so easily fooled into bombing Israel`s targets for them.

Are we being hoaxed again, by Israel, or by our own government, or by both? It`s impossible to rule that out. Right now there are a lot of people who want war. Oil companies want Afghanistan`s petroleum products. Our corporations want "friendlier" markets. The CIA wants all that opium. And all those war-mongers, with all their greed and agendas, will not hesitate in the least to pour your tax dollars and your children`s blood all over Afghanistan, to get those "friendlier" markets, oil, and opium.

Because of the vested interests at work here, American citizens must, more than at any other time in recent history, rely on themselves to decide what is happening in our nation. Too many of those who purport to report the "truth" to us are eager to grab more tax money and more children to pour into a war of invasion, poised at a region which has swallowed up every army that has tried to conquer it since the time of Alexander The Great.

And one more thing. Take a good look at the map of Eurasia and plot out where the United States has military deployments. They march in a straight line through the middle of Eurasia, Macedonia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenia, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan.

The United States is prepared to cut the Russian Federation off from the oil rich middle east, and to control transportation routes from China and India into the Middle East. When Russia realizes that this is the real agenda, that`s when "Dubya Dubya Three" will really get going!

bitte erlöse endlich dieses board und lasse es einfach.
aber wahrscheinlich bist du so ein verklemmtes bürschlein, das sich in der anonymität des internets so richtig ausleben will, aber ansonsten im leben nicht viel zu melden hat.

@Güldenes Bärchen,

ein Mangel an übersteigertem Selbstbewußtsein scheint nicht gerade einer Deiner Stärken zu sein:
"ich bin mitunter großzügig und dir werde ich selbstverständlich keine Gebühren für Deine Therapiestunden, die du bei mir nimmst, berechnen."

Zur Erinnerung an den "Quell der Wahrheit" namens Sherman H. Skolnick mein Posting von gestern:

Auszug aus der o.g. Webseite:

...Weiter geht es mit der digitalen Durchdringung der "Gesellschaft". In neun Beiträgen soll wohl versucht werden, hier neues oder zumindest interessantes ans Tageslicht zu bringen. Dabei sind die Reportagen über einen Chatter, die Ausdehnung des Glückspielgeschäftes ins Internet, die Kontrolle der Datennetzkommunikation von Firmenangehörigen durch ihre Arbeitgeber, die Auswirkungen der elektronischen Kommunikationsform auf die Sprache, die (völlig überflüssige) Renaissance der (völlig überflüssigen) Bildschirmschoner und die (vermeintlichen) Schwierigkeiten, mit einer Suchmaschine an die gewünschten Informationen im Netz zu gelangen, sowie das Interview mit dem Journalisten und Buchautoren John Seabrook, der zwei Jahre lang seine zwischenmenschlichen Kontakte weitgehend auf online-Kommunikation begrenzt hatte, allesamt kurzweilig und durchaus informativ. Hinzu kommt ein Sonderteil "Links in die Alpen", in dem insgesamt vierzehn Prominente (u.a. Anarcho-Künstler Christoph Schlingensief, Telekom-Chef Ron Sommer, die Expo 2000-Vorsitzende Birgit Breuel und der schon im "Gadget" interviewte Smudo von den "Fantastischen Vier") ihre Lieblings-Seiten im WWW vorstellen. Interessanterweise gibt die ebenfalls vertretene PDS-Politikerin Angela Marquardt eine URL auf einem Marburger Universitätsrechner an. Aber nein, es ist dann doch (noch ?) nicht die Seite des "AmigaGadget". Den Höhepunkt der "Gesellschaft"-Rubrik stellt aber wohl ein Beitrag über die Manipulation der Wirklichkeit, die Verbreitung erfundener Nachrichten und die Hochkunjunktur, die Verschwörungstheorien aller Art im Internet verzeichnen, dar. Norbert F. Pötzl, festes Mitglied der SPIEGEL-Redaktion, gibt in diesem Artikel eine realsatirische Bestandsaufnahme der vernetzten Paranoiker und der Relativität des Gutes "Wahrheit" in den Zeiten der von jedermann (und -frau) problemlos und unbemerkt manipulierbaren Bits und Bytes, die gleichermaßen lesens- und nachdenkenswert ist. Witzigerweise erliegt Pötzl dabei selbst der Desinformation - und liefert einmal mehr einen Beweis dafür, daß man beim "SPIEGEL" dem Computer und dem Internet nach wie vor doch eher als Außenstehender, denn als fachkundiger Insider gegenübersteht. "Kürzlich", so Pötzl, sei "eine Story, die es am Absurdität leicht mit den Ergüssen eines Sherman Skolnick aufnehmen könnte", ins Internet eingespeist worden. Ihr Inhalt: die Stadt Bielefeld existiere nicht, sondern sei nur eine Erfindung von IHNEN. Diese Eulenspiegelei gibt es zwar wirklich. Sie ist jedoch schon über zwei Jahre alt (und jedem, der mal einen Blick in "de.talk.bizarre" geworfen hat wohl gut bekannt) - was im schnellebigen Internet-Zeitalter auch bei freundlichster Auslegung kaum als "kürzlich" durchgehen dürfte...

... zum nächsten Deiner Freunde - Michael C. Ruppert drängt sich doch glatt die Frage auf, warum ausgerechnet die Aufklärer der PDS in Bremen auf Ihrer Webseite:

http://www.pds-bremen.de/Linke_Links/hauptteil_linke_links.h…

einen ehemaligen "Drogenbullen aus LA" (meine Formulierung) und Alkohol-Experten zu Wort kommen lassen?! Hat der etwa seinen Anteil nach erfolgreichen Razzien nicht verkraftet?
Beinahe noch interessanter scheint mir die Tatsache zu sein, dass er einer der Wahlkampfhelfer eines gewissen Ross Perot war!

@Sep - vom feinsten!
