CONCLUSION - Bubbling
Under
Imagine you wake up from a coma and you learn that 11 months ago, an "Attack on America" destroyed some significant buildings, killed 3,000 people and forced a war against terrorism. You switch on the news and see pictures of Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, India and Pakistan.
Someone tells you that 19 hijackers organized kamikaze attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, on behalf of someone called Osama bin Laden, and that a few weeks later a series of anthrax attacks gave the nation a further shock.
Someone else claims that the two attacks actually were unrelated.
What do you do? Because you don't trust hearsay, rumors or "memories," you try to find your own answers, and see if this story is true.
You search in the biggest library in the world, the Internet, and try to find reliable, mainstream articles. Where else should you go? You didn't subscribe to the papers and you did not tape the last 10 months worth of television.
After many hours on the Net, you finally realize that the articles you have found contradict each other. Naturally you ask yourself: Who is lying and who is telling the truth?
In these articles, you come across a great many similar reports about the same 20 people, all of whom seem to be connected in some way with both of the attacks. Even if they were not directly involved, these coincidences look very strange to you. Some among these people are also connected with each other, as well as having ties to both of the attacks and to cities and places which are also tied to both attacks.
You ask yourself: Why?
Oddly, you also find out that many of the alleged hijackers are reported to have worked at military bases, or taken courses at CIA-connected flight schools.
Why? Which of the articles are true?
In the end, you find out enough evidence demonstrating that these 20 people must have known a lot, but seem to have allowed the attacks to happen.
You start to speculate if this happened on purpose, because:
a) no articles denied their involvement;
b) these same people are among those most frequently demanding more money be spent against new attacks.
But none of them really seems to know the "official hijackers."
Is that why someone said not to ask questions? You begin to call your hypothesis the LIHOP (Letting It Happen On Purpose). Why did they let the 9/11 attack happen on purpose? Who are the people behind these people?
You want to find answers in public, but few are willing to even entertain these questions. Even more oddly, there has been no public investigation of 9/11. No commission has been appointed. Plans for investigations have been repeatedly postponed. No one seems to know anything about a new start. All this is said to be for reasons of, "national security."
Why?
Who are these people, and why did they let the attacks happen on purpose? Why are these people NOT really connected with bin Laden? Why has no one in the mainstream media written about them? Why has bin Laden not been found? Why, "all of a sudden," does the US Government plan to start a war against Iraq? Why are lawmakers who leaked information about prior warnings of the Sept. 11th attacks being asked to take lie detector tests?
Why are so many other questions still unanswered, as one website, http://www.unansweredquestions.org claims?
Even more odd: Why is it that this website is supported by reliable sources who once worked for the government? Even more "strange": Why do so many relatives of the 9/11 victims support this initiative to force out answers?
Why are these particular relatives of 9/11 victims not receiving any public attention? Has everyone forgotten them?
Which members of the government are lying, and why? Why do the 911 relatives also want answers? Did they also fall into a coma after the attacks?
Now imagine that just as you have asked these questions, you suddenly fall into a second coma, and when you wake up this time - some months later - someone tells you that Iraq has been accused of sending the anthrax, and that U.S. troops have been bombing it for months, and that it's all starting to look like World War III?
After this second coma, you learn that Afghanistan looks to be in better shape now, thanks to the building of an oil pipeline, and the toleration of the drug business. You also learn that the recession is considered to be over, that the smart money has moved back into the market to buy stocks in the makers of biopharmaceuticals, facial recognition systems, personal control chips, and, of course, weapons.
After your second coma, you decide once again to go to the Internet, to see if you can find out what is really happening. But wait, what if this Internet has been shut down - for "national security" reasons? Who could you ask then?
This is what this article is about. It should be discussed in public, on national and public access TV.
They Let
It Happen On Purpose!
911/Anthrax - The Final Dots - The
Top 20 LIHOP
Suspects?
****************************
"Very few cities at
this point in time are prepared to manage the consequences
of bio-terrorist attack."
http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/news/WABC_investigators_100101bioterror.html In
May 2002, Jerome Hauer became director of the federal Office
of Public Health Preparedness (OPHP), succeeding Dr. D. A.
Henderson from Johns Hopkins Institute. Why is Jerome
Hauer not making national news yet? He's becoming famous
on the Internet. Not only for Republicans, who appreciate
his long fight against bioterrorism, which he started three
to four years ago. Hauer is also controversial among those
who are able to connect the dots between his person and
shady business deals in biopharmacy since 1998. More
interesting, he seems to have had prior knowledge about both
so called terrorist-attacks: September 11th and
Anthrax. But many private investigators claim since
months, he let the attacks happen on purpose to continue his
career. Is Hauer LIHOP suspect No.1? He started to work
for the NIH under Tommy Thompson on September 10, 2001 as an
adviser on national security. On September 11th, he told the
White House to take Cipro, the antibiotic that works against
the anthrax virus, without bothering to reveal his warning
to the American nation. The watchdog group JudicialWatch decided to file a
lawsuit against the NIH, but also against the FBI, CDC and
the White House, for the same reason: Prior Knowledge. It
is not known how long Hauer worked at the NIH before Sept.
11, but we can confirm that he was working on Sept.
10. But things get really interesting when we consider that
Jerome Hauer was also the man who in August 2001 arranged a
new job for John O'Neill - the resigning chief of the FBI
Terror Task Force - as head of security at the World Trade
Center. How did Hauer know that the Twin Towers would be
so important? We would like to ask John O' Neill, but
there is one problem: O'Neill died in the towers on
September 11th, one day after he started his job officially,
according to the New Yorker. Disturbingly, O'Neill has
never been received the same hero status in the mass media
as has been accorded to the fallen New York firefighters and
police officers. His death has gone without the same
fanfare. For 11 months his story went untold, with two big
exceptions. The two French intelligence specialists
Brisard and Dasquie (see:
http://intelligenceonline.fr) published an
interview with O'Neill taken before his death in their book,
"Bin Laden: The Forbidden Truth." And articles on O'Neill
were also published in the New Yorker and New York Magazine.
Last week, TIME magazine also tried to remember him, but
left out the most important angles. This should change
immediately. There is obviously a lot which has been
hidden from us, but for what reason? This might have
something to do with the FBI HQ (O'Neill complained about
them), but also with Jerome Hauer - who is a friend of the
current prime anthrax suspect, Stephen Hatfill, who was
working for the military anthrax program USAMRIID at Fort
Detrick and Battelle, a huge pharmacy company with many ties
to the CIA. Hauer and Hatfill worked together at the
SAIC's Center for Counterterrorism Technology and Analysis
in 1999. The SAIC (Scientific Applications International
Corp) later received also a huge BioDefense budget in autumn
2001. But first, more about Hauer: In 1983, Hauer
joined IBM where he was responsible for the company's
Hazardous Materials Response and Crisis Management and Fire
Safety programs. Hauer produced a series of hazardous
materials training videos that earned him the International
Film andTV Critics of New York Bronze award in 1986. In
the early 1990s, Hauer got his first contacts to military
and biodefense. Hauer received a master's degree in
emergency medical services from the Johns Hopkins School of
Hygiene and Public Health. Then he became member of the
Johns Hopkins Working Group on Civilian Bio Defense, where
he wrote various articles about a possible bioterrorist
attack. In
1998, he started working at the OEM (Office for Emergency
Management) in New York. In the same year, Hauer and
anthrax suspect Hatfill both supported the CFR as experts in
their respective fields. The CFR is an acronym for Council
on Foreign Relations, one of the most important think-tanks
advising the US government, as well as many other
governments abroad. CFR members include the Pentagon's
top advisers, Richard Perle, Henry Kissinger, Deputy Defense
Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, ex-CIA chief James Woolsey,
biosciences specialist Joshua Lederberg, and many
others. On May 28, 1998, Hatfill and Hauer spoke together
at the same CFR meeting about "Building a 'Biobomb':
Terrorist Challenge" Hatfill was at that time also Senior Research Associate
at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious
Diseases (=USAMRIID) Hauer seems to specialize in the art
of holding down several different jobs at the same time.
While he started to work for the NIH in September 2001, he
remained a Managing Director at Kroll Associates - the
official security and bodyguard company for all American
presidents since World War II! With Hauer's many sources
of insider information (e.g. Kroll/President bodyguards) ,
it makes sense that he also knew about the CIA briefing for
George Bush on August 6, 2001, about warnings of an imminent
terrorist "attack with planes." Hauer is still trying to
save the world. On November 6th, 2001 he participated in
the "Independent Task Force on America's Response to
Terrorism" at the CFR. Participants there included James J.
Zogby (President of the Arab American Institute and Central
Asian Enterprise Fund), Newton L. Gingrich (Chief Executive
Officer, The Gingrich Group), Harold Brown (former secretary
of defense and counselor at CSIS: the Center for Strategic
and International Studies), Henry A. Kissinger (Senior
Fellow in National Security and European Affairs), Richard
C. Holbrooke (Counselor, CFR and Vice Chairman of Perseus,
LLC) and Philip A. Odeen (Executive Vice President,
Washington Operations of TRW, Inc. and CEO of Reynolds +
Reynolds, Dayton). Their agenda, eight weeks after the
attack of Sept. 11, was strange indeed: ...Disseminate
stories of particular victims to convey the range of people
killed in the 9/11 attacks-stress range of religions, races,
income levels, etc... ...counteract myth that Mossad was
behind the attacks by showing Jews killed,
etc... ...Routinely monitor the regional press in real
time to enable prompt responses..." Hauer's
deep connection to disinformation circles for his own
purpose are well known. In 1998, he convinced New York Mayor
Rudi Guilliani to develop a vaccine against the West Nile
virus - almost one year before this virus broke out in New
York. To this end, Hauer introduced Col. Thomas Monath of
Oravax (now Accambis) to Guliani and organised a business
deal. Hauer also continued giving bioterror lectures and
writing terror scenario scripts. He organized a July 26,
1999, conference in New York for journalists and "thought
leaders," on bioterrorism and "Reporting on Weapons of Mass
Destruction - Responsibility, Reliability, Readiness." At
the same time, he was heading the West Nile spray operation
in NYC. Bioterrorism and vaccines - a perfect payroll
combination for Hauer? Among the participants at this
1999 conference was Brigadier General Bruce Lawlor of the
U.S. Army and the former FBI assistant director, Lewis
Schiliro (NYC). General Lawlor has in the meantime become
the Senior Director for Protection and Prevention at the
Office of Homeland Security: Lawlor
was the first commanding general of Joint Task Force - Civil
Support (JTF-CS), located in Fort Monroe, Virginia. JTF-CS
is a standing joint task force assigned to U.S. Joint Forces
Command. Lawlor has taught at the U.S. Army War College and
served as a consultant to the Defense Science Board.
Nothing is known about his further influence in
preventing attacks on America. However, as FBI assistant
director, Schiliro supervised several counterterrorism
investigations, including the 1993 World Trade Center
bombing and the 1998 embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania.
But Schiliro gave up supporting Hauer in February 2000,
too. He
left the FBI to move to credit card giant MBNA Corp. And
Schiliro wasn't the only one. His close friend Louis Freeh
- who was replaced in the FBI in August 2001 by Thomas
Pickard as the acting head of the Bureau - started a new job
as a Senior Vice Chairman at MBNA Corp in early September
2001 and began to collect shares. The
background of the MBNA is very interesting. They helped the
FBI in tracing the hijackers' credit card transactions, and
had a lot of prominent helping hands. Among them was James
Kallstrom, the former head of Special Operations, FBI. BNA
also has a controversial status among civil right groups.
Since 1996, MBNA CORP has unleashed various bulldozers,
dump-trucks and explosives in a savage attack on the
Ducktrap Deeryard (major coastal wildlife area on Penobscot
Bay, Maine USA) or continued with "dull roar of corporate
jet noise". Then, in April 2001, MBNA also had to deal
with cheque fraud. Involved was Intelligent Finance, a
Halifax-backed Internet bank and a bogus account for a guy
named Vindel. Also
interesting is the bio of another director of the MBNA
Corporation: Bernadine P. Healy. She also serves as a
trustee of the Battelle Memorial Institute and is President
and CEO of the American Red Cross. On
May 10, 2001, a few months before Sept. 11, she testified on
"human challenges that we will face during a WMD
attack": The
Red Cross and the OEM under Jerome Hauer worked very closely
together. Hauer's connections and insider information seem
to be endless! He also helped with the construction of the
New York OEM headquarters known as "the bunker," on the 23rd
floor of 7 World Trade Center. The CIA later confirmed that they also had an office in
that building, next to the Department of Defense and the
INS. For unknown reasons, 7 World Trade Center was the third
skyscraper to collapse on Sept. 11. Officially, it began
burning after debris from the Twin Tower collapses caused an
illegal diesel-fuel tank inside the building to explode.
The presence of this large gas tank - also on the 23rd
floor - with thousands of gallons of fuel far above ground,
in violation of the fire code, was confirmed some weeks
after Sept. 11th. There has never been an official verdict
on the reasons for the collapse of WTC 7. A FEMA study
failed to reach a clear conclusion: While
the collapse of WTC 7 remains a mystery, it cannot be said
that the deaths caused by the bio-attack a couple of weeks
later were similarly due to incompetence. On the contrary,
Hauer had a huge team behind him, and had already warned the
White House. Why didn't he leak all his information in
time? In May 2000, the Johns Hopkins Center, in
collaboration with the ANSER Institute for Homeland Defense,
the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and the
Oklahoma Memorial Institute for the Study of Terrorism held
a bioterrorism exercise at Andrews Air Force Base. Former
Senator Sam Nunn played the President. David Gergen
played the National Security Advisor. Governor Frank Keating
played himself, Frank Wisner was Secretary of State, ex-CIA
director James Woolsey (ironically) played CIA Director,
John White played Defense Secretary, and Dr. Margaret
Hamburg was HHS Secretary. The Attorney General was played
by George Terwilliger, William Sessions was FBI Director,
and Jerome Hauer played FEMA Director. "One of the striking observations of this exercise was
the unfamiliarity of these distinguished and experienced
professionals with the basic decisions and trade-offs
associated with managing the response to the
epidemic." Observing was Tara O'Toole, MD, MPH Senior
Fellow, Center for Civilian Biodefense Studies and at that
time Deputy Director of Johns Hopkins Institute. This
started a series of different "war games." On June 22-23,
2001, the same crew organised their last big scenario before
Sep11th. They called it DARK WINTER. It was about a possible
smallpox attack. Hauer participated as well, this time
"playing" the director of the FBI. The whole list is still
mirrored at: Among
the other participants once again: Observing, among many others, Thomas Inglesby, at
that time Senior Fellow Johns Hopkins Institute On July
14th, 2001 the testimony on DARK WINTER was released:
But
when the first anthrax attacks started, the only thing,
which worked perfectly, was the distribution of the anthrax
antibiotic Cipro, by Bayer. A couple of weeks later, Barbara
Rosenberg of FAS (Federation of American Scientists), the
magazine New Scientist, the biowarfare convention specialist
Jan van Aken, and the ex-UN inspector Richard Spertzel came
to the conclusion that the anthrax was
homegrown.
http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99991473 Rosenberg
was also supported by Dr. Francis Boyle, a human rights
lawyer and professor of law at the University of Illinois.
An expert on international law, U.S. criminal law and
nuclear weapons, Boyle has studied many different biowarfare
contracts in which "safety levels were atrocious." He is
also author of "The Criminality of Nuclear
Deterrence": Hauer ignored the report by Barbara Rosenberg, but he
certainly knew who she was. He first met her on April 10,
1998, at a "roundtable on genetic engineering and biological
weapons" under President Clinton. The small group of outside
experts and cabinet members present there included: William
Cohen (at the time Secretary of Defense), CIA boss George
Tenet, Craig Ventner (Celera), Joshua Lederberg (Rockefeller
University, Defense Science Board), Thomas Monath
(Oravax/Acambis, former CDC and USAMRIID), Hauer, and
Barbara Rosenberg. In November 2001, Hauer was still
ignoring the investigations by Barbara Rosenberg, who had
already worked out a list of possible anthrax suspects,
scientists who would have been able to gain access to the
original Ames strain from USAMRIID, Fort
Detrick. Among the suspects on this list were Battelle and the
Battelle Memorial Institute administrators, who supplied the
Dugway anthrax proving facility in Utah, where the only
virtually identical Ames strain of silica-impregnated
hyper-weaponized anthrax was found: Meanwhile,
Hauer in November started an initiative known as
"De-Mystifying the Biological Weapons Debate," and as a
member of this group he claimed at the time that the main
suspects for the anthrax attacks included "Osama Bin Laden
and his Al-Qaeda network and sympathizers to US right wing
extremists" Therefore
we have a lot of questions for him. Is Hauer in any
conflicts of interest? What was his coordination with
FEMA? Can Hauer confirm, if a FEMA team was already
dispatched to New York on September 10, as spokesman Tom
Kennedy said in an interview with Dan Rather (CBS, shortly
after the attack)? (INFO: An interview with FEMA director
Joe Allbaugh took place on September 12th on CBS at 7:40:20
accirding to the CBS transcript) On May 8, 2001, Bush announced a new Office of National
Preparedness for Terrorism at the Federal Emergency
Management Agency. At the same time, he proposed to cut
FEMA's budget by $200 million. Bush said that day that
Cheney would direct a government-wide review on managing the
consequences of a domestic attack. Bush
was aware of a possible attack, that is for sure. But the
questions are: Did FEMA have prior knowledge as
well? How deep was the communication transfer between
Jerome Hauer, the Pentagon, FEMA and the CIA? Hauer's connections to the CDC, Johns Hopkins and the
CIA (James Woolsey) are well-established. What role did
Jerome Hauer really play? Why was the distribution of
Cipro to White House staff on Sept. 11 classified for such a
long time (AP)? What exactly does Hauer know about Stephen Hatfill and
his former USAMRIID colleague, Thomas Monath? What was his
main concern in organizing a security job for John O'Neill
at the Twin Towers? What exactly did Hauer organise on
Sep11th? Is it true that his office ordered thousands of
employees "back to their desks" after the first plane hit,
causing hundreds of unnecessary deaths? Did Hauer let both
the Sept. 11 and the anthrax attacks happen on
purpose? Dr.
Inglesby became Deputy Director of the Johns Hopkins Center
for Civilian Biodefense Strategies in early October
2001. He received his B.A. from Georgetown University in
1988 and his M.D. at the Columbia University College of
Physicians and Surgeons in 1992. He completed his internal
medicine residency at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. In 1996-7,
he was an Assistant Chief of Service in the Department of
Medicine at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He
completed specialty training in Infectious Diseases at the
Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. In a testimony on April
18, 2002 he explained that "the anthrax attacks of the fall
were just the prologue to the bigger story of
bioweapons." In the
meantime, however, it looks more than obvious that these
attacks were based on a cynical BioDefense calculation,
orchestrated by ties between unknown members of the CIA
and/or selected biopharmacy corporations. Why is Inglesby
still sure that these attacks were produced by terrorists?
Even the FBI has concentrated its investigations on
pharmacy corporations, like Battelle, and also paid at least
one visit to Porton Down in England, although it has yet to
arrest anyone in connection with the anthrax attacks. One
main suspect, as has been leaked to the press, is Stephen
Hatfill of Battelle. It looks like he was able to produce
deadly anthrax, which came from the military project
USAMRIID at Fort Detrick, Maryland. There was a time when
USAMRIID tried to warn the White House about possible
terrorist attacks, but obviously this never really impressed
the U.S. Presidents enough to push for billions in funding.
Did they therefore stage the attacks to achieve a higher
biodefense budget? Fort Detrick and Johns Hopkins
Institute combine a history of shared knowledge and
emergency programs. Dr. Thomas Inglesby, Dr. Tara Toole
and Dr. D.A. Henderson are among the favorite specialists of
Fort Detrick, but also for the CDC and NIH. O' Toole was
nominated by President Clinton to be assistant Secretary of
Energy for Environment Safety and Health, and served in this
position until 1997. Like his colleague Jerome Hauer,
Inglesby also wrote bioterror scenarios for the John Hopkins
Working Group on Civilian Bio Defense. His first popular
one was released in July 1999 under the title, "Anthrax: A
Possible Case History": On May 25-27, 1999 Inglesby organised a joint conference
for biological vaccines at Fort Detrick. From his
statements: "..the DOD involvement in ongoing medical
research also is important and instrumental to helping
cities prepare for such emergencies... the Fort Detrick
institute is the most important component of ongoing
research and development of effective defenses and
treatment.." Fort Detrick, which was officially the
origin of the anthrax spore, spoke at that time already
about anthrax as one of the "most treacherous enemies."
Inglesby
applied his influence in persuading the U.S. Congress and
Department of Justice to fund and arrange a May 2000
exercise that involved key emergency management personnel.
The result was named "TOPOFF" - because of the engagement of
top U.S. government officials. The $3 million TOPOFF
drill tested the preparedness of top government officials in
responding to three simulated terrorist attacks against the
United States: a chemical weapons assault in Portsmouth, NH,
a nuclear terrorism event in the greater Washington, D.C.
area, and a bioweapons attack in Denver, CO. In the
fictional scenario, an aerosol of pneumonic plague has
previously been released at the Denver Performing Arts
Center. The release has gone undetected, so the exercise
starts with a hypothetical, unconfirmed attack. In
June and July 2000, Inglesby organised other bioterrorism
scenarios in Atlanta and St.Louis: In three storyboards by the "CDC," they "confirmed" the
bio agent Yersinia pestis (the black plague). On November
28, 2000 Inglesby participated at the Second National
Symposium on Bioterrorism. Other guests included Jerry
Hauer, Tara O'Toole, Margaret Hamburg, Michael Osterholm and
Laurie Garrett. Inglesby's biggest project, however, was
DARK WINTER. He was the principal designer, author and
facilitator of the BioTerror Exercise of June
2001. Inglesby was also a firm supporter of a higher
BioDefense budget. Only a few days after the Sept. 11
attack, he complained in the pages of the Washington Post,
September 28: "..the Pentagon spent $264 billion to deter
regional conflicts, $28 billion to protect against a 'peer'
nuclear attack and $3 billion on all other biological,
chemical, cyber and nuclear assaults. Of that, he said, $250
million went to public health systems. 'It would be a
mistake not to change the funding patterns of the past.'
Did Inglesby have prior knowledge of the anthrax
attacks? Why did Inglesby claim to the FBI that the
Sep11th hijackers may have been involved in the anthrax
attacks? In a March 2002 article in the New York Times,
Inglesby claimed that a June 2001 diagnosis of Dr. Tsonas
from the Holy Cross Hospital in Fort Lauderdale could have
been anthrax, and therefore Inglesby circulated a memorandum
to the FBI: The only problem is: Dr. Tsonas never informed the CDC
about an anthrax case. Dr. Tsonas was already visited by
the FBI in October 2001. He claimed the FBI found the
antibiotic Keflex in one of the hijackers bags, and showed
him photos. Then Tsonas believed to recognise Ahmed
Alhaznawi again, one of the official hijackers from the
Pennsylvania plane. But Inglesby's memorandum never
appeared in the media again. What was the real purpose of
this memo? Al Haznawi and other hijackers reportedly lived
and attended flight school near the Boca Raton headquarters
of American Media Inc., where the first anthrax case
surfaced. Al Haznawi entered the United States on June 8,
records show. Sometime that month, he moved into an
apartment in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea (Delray Beach) with
another suspected hijacker, Ziad Samir Jarrah, according to
statements last fall by the building's landlord, Charles
Lisa. Charles Lisa later also informed the FBI that the
presumed-deceased Jarrah was still receiving his FAA
newsletter: Why
did the FBI officially immediately ignore the strong ties
between the Sep11th and anthrax attacks? The locations of
the hijackers and the first anthrax victim Bob Stevens can't
be a coincidence. If the anthrax attackers had prior
knowledge of the Sept. 11 attacks, did they also have
knowledge of the whereabouts of the hijackers, so that they
could also blame them for the anthrax attacks? Was it in
any way scripted, before Sept. 11, that the anthrax attack
would be tied to a possible attack with planes on America?
And if so, by whom? Was this plan later changed because the
scientific evidence demonstrated that there was no such
connection between the presumed hijackers and the anthrax
attacks? And if this speculation does include CIA
involvement as well, the question has to be asked again: How
many hijackers did the CIA really monitor before Sept. 11th?
How many of those who lived in Florida? Ahmed Ibrahim A.
Al Haznawi was one of 10 to 15 hijackers who received their
visa from the CIA-connected consulate at Jeddah, Saudi
Arabia. In November 2001 the FBI already arrested the main
suspect of Jeddah, who was responsible for this: Abdullah
Noman. And what
about his roommate, Ziad Jarrah? More than seven months
before the Sept. 11 hijackings, authorities in Dubai
detained and questioned Jarrah at the request of the U.S.
government - before allowing him to continue his journey
from Afghanistan to Florida, according to a United Arab
Emirates official. Who are the possible CIA members, who
used the attack for a possible "911Pharmagate" and let it
happen on purpose? How much did Inglesby know about a
possible attack - and if so, did he let it happen on purpose
to achieve a higher biodefense
budget? "For years, he had
loudly complained the United States wasn’t doing enough to
prepare for a potential bioterror attack, and feared that
his warnings weren’t being heeded. Appearing on a cable TV
news show, he warned that anthrax could be sent through the
mail." A list
dating to December 2001 contains the names of 15 to 20
institutes that worked with the Ames strain of anthrax,
which has been scientifically proven as the strain used in
the anthrax attacks of autumn 2001. Microbiologist Paul
Keim helped the authorities compare the genetic fingerprint
of the mailed anthrax. Every indication was that it derived
"at least indirectly from the mother lode of the military
strain, kept at Fort Detrick, Md." Battelle
was mentioned as one of the suspicious locations; another
location was Porton Down in Britain, who has strong ties to
Bioport (one of the anthrax vaccine developers) and Dynport,
a cooperation between DynCorp and Porton Down. It was
William Patrick III from Fort Detrick, who started the first
experiments with a modified anthrax strain at the U.S. Army
Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases
(USAMRIID), Fort Detrick (Maryland). In July 2000, Colonel
Edward M. Eitzen, became Commander of USAMRIID. He also
served in Operation Desert Storm as the DCCS and Surgeon of
the 62nd Medical Group On
October 11th, 2001, Eitzen testified as follows: "...I
mentioned at the start of my statement, that potential
biological terrorism is really a spectrum of possible events
- from a letter with an inert powder and a threat in it...."
The
FBI stopped reporting about their anthrax investigation in
December 2001. But after a couple of months, the pressure on
them and Fort Detrick became stronger again. It looked far
too strange that their investigation started to stall just
as the Rosenberg list of suspicious institutes was released.
Rosenberg claimed that the FBI already knew the name of a
prime individual suspect in October 2001. It took 8
months, however, before in June 2001 the FBI leaked for the
first time the name of a main suspect, who was believed to
be either the man behind the attack or was being
orchestrated by someone else: Stephen Hatfill, who once
worked for Battelle. Hatfill also worked at USAMRIID/Fort
Detrick and knew William Patrick III. In 1999, he left
USAMRIID for a job at SAIC (Scientific Applications
International Corp.), a huge defense contractor where he did
work detailing the risks of biological and chemical attacks.
In 2001, the CIA rejected him for a job and the Pentagon
suspended his existing security clearance. Was he forced
to produce the anthrax to justify an increase in the
biodefense budget and in vaccine production? By the first
week of October 2001, the media had already been speculating
for weeks about a possible anthrax attack. A "back story"
had been established to suggest possible ties between the
Sept. 11th hijackers and an as-yet unconsummated biological
aftermath. And then the anthrax attacks
materialized. Investigative journalist Wayne Madsen
reports that on October 2, 2001 - just two days before the
first anthrax case was reported in Boca Raton, Florida and a
week and a half before the first anthrax was sent through
the mail to NBC News in New York - Advanced Biosystems
received an $800,000 grant from NIH to focus on very
specific defenses against anthrax: It looks now that a lot of different people had insider
knowledge about a possible anthrax attack. It also appears
that the anthrax was produced and even sent before Sept.
11th, with prior knowledge about this attack as
well. Whether the main idea was to work as a copycat
effect or more, the obvious goal was definitely not to kill
many people. It could be also that two people had been
behind the anthrax mailings: the "supplier" and the
"refiner/mailer". If Hatfill was the supplier, then who
was the mailer? And why did they use two different
refinements, one for the media and a more refined anthrax
for the Senators? Why didn't the FBI interview other
former USAMRIID scientists, e.g. Thomas Monath from Acambis,
former Oravax? The FBI said that the anthrax spores sent
to Tom Brokaw, the New York Post and American media were not
as highly refined as those sent to Senators Daschle and
Leahy. This indicates that some refining of the spores was
done between the mailings. Another oddity is that someone
told FBI agent Barry Mawn to stop the investigation on Tom
Brokaw. It later came out, that Mawn already complained,
that the anthrax might have come from the States. Mawn
later retired from the FBI in March 2002. The same agent,
who also classified the famous "passport in the rubble" (by
Satam Al Suqami) was obviously part of a plot. Nothing is
known about his current whereabouts. Mawn was replaced by
Kevin P. Donovan. Mawn tried to get a job at Massport, Logan Airport, but
decided to do something else. In the same month, FBI's
assistant director Van Harp said in an CNN interview: "This
anthrax, we do not believe, was made up in a garage or a
bathtub." Ignored
by the mainstream media, Battelle was already an early
suspect in October 2001 as well. First it was Michael P.
Failey, a former Battelle employee, who was arrested twice.
But
who else had knowledge about possible suspects? Or better,
who knew too much? On November 12th 2001, famous
BioScientist Don C Wiley vanished in Memphis. His dead body
was found six weeks later, 200 miles away, next to the
Mississippi river. His death started a series about
strange circumstances of suddenly killed BioScientists. Is
it a coincidence, that only 2 days after Wiley vanished,
Stephen Hatfill (Batelle) took a plane to England? And
what about the strange death of Vladimir Pasechnik on
November 21st, former director of the Institute of Ultra
Pure Biochemical Preparations (BioPrep), who produced
Anthrax as well? In December 2001 Battelle Memorial
Institute confirmed, that the federal government is expected
to spend with them $75.5 billion on R&D in 2002, a 4.7
percent increase over the prior year. In
the meantime, as Newsweek found out, Fort Detrick cleared
his records, and Hatfill started a job at Louisiana State
University. He still claims to be innocent, but also didn't
offer any new explanations yet. On August 11th 2002
Hatfill gave a public statement, that he is innocent. His
lawyer Victor M. Glasberg (Glasberg & Associates), who
defended a Ku-Klux clan member in September 2001, accused
"lunatics on the Internet" of promoting the wrong
guy. "...An Alexandria lawyer with the American Civil
Liberties Union yesterday defended a Ku Klux Klan member's
right to wear a hood in public. Saying that the "ACLU has
no love for the Ku Klux Klan, but does for the First
Amendment," Victor M. Glasberg argued"
The FBI said that Hatfill is one of “around 20” people they
are looking at. Who else? How much did Hatfill know? Is he
just a scapegoat? What did Hatfill work on at the SAIC in
1999? What did Jerome Hauer work on at the SAIC in the
same year? Did they work together?
http://www.saic.com/news/nov99/news11-30a-99.html
(Hauer) (Note: More at "911-Pharmagate" How deep are Hatfills ties to the CIA? Did he work as
a contractor for them? Or did he let the attack happen on
purpose? If he wasn't behind the anthrax attack, then
does he know,
who? "During the past
several years, the FBI and CIA have developed a closer
working relationship." - Dale Watson, 1998 Since Sep.
11th the official explanation as to why the events of Sep.
11th happened is based on the so- called "incompetence
theory", supported by ex-CIA director James Woolsey,
Pentagon Top Advisor Richard Perle and columnist David Corn.
The 911-commission didn't even get underway before the
current US Government tried to kill the 911-hearings and
dismiss any skepticism or accuse every skeptic of treason.
This is nonsense. If you carefully analyze the
timeline of September 11th and the preceding days, not to
mention weeks and months, you have to come to the conclusion
that someone let the attack happen. The motives are a
just a war against the Taliban and an oil pipeline system in
that region. Both had been planned for years. This is
well-documented in many articles. One of the most recent was
in Newsweek. But no one has analyzed the role of the FBI
Headquarters and whether or not they were either sabotaged
or bribed to let the attack happen. To start finding the
correct answers, we should therefore start at the top: Dale
Watson. Watson ignored at least 4 different FBI agents’
warnings including the "urgent cable" of the CIA from August
23rd about Almihdhar and Alhazmi.
http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/06/03/cia.fbi.hijackers/
The first known warning was FBI agent Robert Wright. He
tried to warn his superiors three months before September
11th that Americans were in danger of terrorist attacks at
home. No one listened to Wright and he finally blew the
whistle a few months ago in March 2002, but didn't make much
news coverage even then. Wright spoke out again at a
press conference in Washington, D.C. in May. He accused the
FBI of intentionally thwarting investigations of known
terrorists. But instead of making national news, Wright’s
story was downplayed in the media. More disturbingly the FBI
tried to block his new book, "Fatal Betrayals of the
Intelligence Mission". Why? What does the FBI have to
hide? Or who told them to do so? Wright brought a lawsuit
against the FBI, claiming they violated his First Amendment
rights by prohibiting him from making his complaints public.
Chicago attorney David Schippers, who was the House
Republican's counsel during Clinton's impeachment hearing,
and Larry Klayman of Judicial Watch, who was one of the
independent prosecutors, represent Wright. Wright also
said, in tears, live on C-Span, that he was threatened by
John Ashcroft for months to shut up his mouth.
http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/020529/dcw021_1.html Schippers
also tried to reach John Ashcroft for weeks, but finally
gave up a couple of days before September 11th. Noone called
him back. The regular answer on the phone: "we don't start
investigations at the top" or "we will get back to you".
Schippers gave several interviews after Sep. 11th and
explained his frustrations. Once a famous attorney, he
was now called a crackpot or a traitor. This can change,
after thousands of internet users learn of the whole story
of Wright. Why did Watson ignore Wright? Why did the
manager of the FBI Headquarters, David Frasca (Radical
Fundamentalist Unit) ignore the two warnings of FBI agents
Kenneth Williams (early July) and Coleen Rowley (August)?
"...He is one of the sharpest agents I have ever met,"
said former FBI agent Ronald Myers, a constable in Maricopa
County, Ariz. "He's a superstar. ... Anyone in FBI
management who wouldn't take what Ken Williams said
seriously is a fool."
http://www.nydailynews.com/2002-05-20/News_and_Views/Beyond_the_City/a-151521.asp
As Senator Arlen Specter, Charles Grassley and Patrick
Leahy pointed out in a joint letter to Robert Mueller, "it
has been noted that Supervisory Special Agent Dave Frasca in
the Radical Fundamentalist Unit (RFU) may have been involved
in handling the Phoenix memorandum and the Moussaoui
investigation at FBI headquarters..." But
Mueller never responded in public regarding Frasca. More
strange is that Watson even sent a warning to the CIA before
Watson, Wright and Rowley's warnings. In a secret FBI
report he warned CIA director George Tenet, months before
Sept. 11, "of a significant terror threat from the Middle
East, and said the bureau did not have the resources to
combat it", the NY Times reported. Contra Costa Times wrote also about yet another internal
memo from Aug. 22, 2000, then , to Thomas Pickard, the
deputy director in charge of counterterrorism at the time,
"acknowledged the FBI's lack of coherent prevention
strategy". Why
wasn't Watson still on the same page as Wright, Williams and
Rowley during July/August 2001? Why didn't he support
them? And why wasn't John O'Neill, another aggressive
anti-terror agent who received the Williams Phoenix-Memo in
June 2001, also not concerned any more with his "obsessive"
fight against terrorism? This question should be answered
by Jerome Hauer, who convinced O'Neill to start a job at the
Twin Towers. O'Neill claimed in the book "Forbidden
Truth", that Dale Watson sabotaged him and leaked
information about him to the New York Times. Therefore he
was discouraged but many people also speculated that O'Neill
was silenced or bribed with this new job in the Towers. If
this is true, they silenced him forever, because O' Neill
died in the Towers and President Bush never took notice.
The question is, who gave Watson the order to "sabotage"
O'Neill, who once worked overseas? Did Watson have a
conflict of interest? He worked in the FBI Headquarters
as Chief of the Iran Unit, Counter-terrorism Section, NSD,
from November 1991 through April 1994. In June 1996, Mr.
Watson was named Deputy Chief of the CIA at the
Counter-terrorist Center. In July 1998, Mr. Watson was
appointed Inspector Deputy Assistant Director of the
National Security Division (NSD), FBI Headquarters,
Washington, D.C Following an internal reorganization at FBI
Headquarters, on December 6, 1999, the Attorney General
appointed Mr. Watson the Assistant. No one has subpoenaed
Watson about what exactly "went wrong" during August 2001,
especially when they had already arrested Zacarias
Moussaoui. As TIME reported, Kenneth Williams’ memo was
never forwarded by Watson – and not even to Mike Rolince,
chief of the international-terrorism section
http://www.time.com/time/covers/1101020527/story2.html
"Do you think," says a White House antiterrorism
official, "that if Dick Clarke had known that the FBI had in
custody a foreigner who couldn't speak English, who was
trying to fly a plane in midair, he wouldn't have done
something?" Even
5 days after the CIA send their urgent cable to the FBI,
another FBI agent, Colleen Rowley, was still in contact with
the NSLU, a law division within the FBIHQ. On August 28th
she also finally gave up: No permission was granted to
search the hard drive of Mr. Moussaoui's computer under the
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). The
incompetence theory doesn’t work any more, especially for
Dale Watson. He was a specialist and he ignored other
specialists like Kenneth Williams. Why? If we look at
Watson's past, this makes no sense at all. 5 years after the
first bombing on the WTC, Dale Watson testified about an old
plan, called Project Bojinka, which originally was about
"simultaneously plant devices on flights" February 24,
1998 - "The terrorists of tomorrow will have an even more
dizzying array of weapons and technologies available to
them..." Watson
was concerned about "chemical, biological, and nuclear
materials within the criminal and terrorist communities.
These weapons of mass destruction represent perhaps the most
serious potential threat facing the United States today..."
But Watson was also convinced of a perfect working
relationship between the FBI and the CIA: "...During the
past several years, the FBI and CIA have developed a closer
working relationship. This has strengthened the ability of
each agency to respond to terrorist threats, and has
improved the ability of the U.S. government to respond to
terrorist attacks that do occur..." "To improve response
capabilities on a national scale, the FBI is working closely
with five other federal agencies - the Department of
Defense, the Department of Energy, the Public Health
Service, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the
Federal Emergency Management Agency - ...Due to the
measures I've discussed and several other initiatives, we
are much better prepared to address the international
terrorist threat than we were five years ago...” Watson
praised also various computer warning systems like E.G.
NLETS. NLETS is controlled by state law enforcement
agencies whereas the NCIC is controlled by the Department of
Justice through the FBI. "...more than 35 federal agencies
involved in the U.S. government's counterterrorism effort
receive information via secure teletype through this
system. The messages also are transmitted to all 56 FBI
field offices and 33 foreign liaison posts." Then the FBI
also used the Law Enforcement Intelligence Unit (LEIU), a
"private, federally-funded network of computerized files",
which was so successful that the ACLU tried to file a
lawsuit against its use: LEIU was developed by the California-based Anacapa
Sciences Incorporated. Later the FBI developed two other
programs, the National Infrastructure and Computer Intrusion
Program (NIPCIP) and Awareness of National Security Issues
and Response (ANSIR). The FBI also improved the National
Threat Warning System (NTWS), which had already been
implemented in 1989. Sixty federal agencies and their
departments received NTWS - information via secure teletype
as well. The messages are transmitted to all 56 FBI field
offices and 44 legal attaches. This basically works like a
news ticker. It is also widely ignored that Richard
Clarke worked during 2001 on the same information, received
from both the CIA and FBI, at the CSG (Counter-terrorism
Security Group) Because the warnings increased after June
2001, he met daily with his team. What did Clarke do that
was different from what the FBI and CIA did? And why is the
incompetence theory only concentrating on the CIA and FBI?
The CSG should answer that. So should the FAA, who warned
the airlines more than 5 times during 2001, based on
information from the FBI and CIA. There is one exception:
they claim they didn't warn the airports about Zacarias
Moussaoui. The computer systems of the FBIHQ may operate
on slow hardware, but they did have the latest information.
They even worked on their own XML Technology Focus Group
to improve NLETS:
http://www.doj.state.wi.us/les/XML/xml%20data%20defs-0.1.0.zip
Also unknown is the fact
that the FBI also used data of the AAMVA (Amercian
Association Motor Vehicle Administration) and worked on a
new transfair system in real time. Who else in the FBIHQ
can answer these questions about Rowley, Wright and
Williams? What do Ruben Garcia Jr. (Domestic Terrorism
specialist), Kathleen McChesney (master's degree in Public
Administration) have to say? Why did the 911 hearings die
so fast? Was Bush's Confirmation of prior knowledge a
strategy to get rid of these hearings? What can another
FBI Headquarters employee of that time, Robert J. Chiaradio
tell us? Probably not much. He doesn't work there
anymore. On July 8th, 2002 Chiaradio was named by KPMG
Consulting, one of the world’s largest business consulting
and systems integration firms, as managing director and lead
advisor on homeland security. Did the FBIHQ let the attack happen on
purpose? Thomas Pickard took
over the job of FBI Director Louis J. Freeh in August 2001,
but held this position only for a couple of weeks before
Richard Mueller became Director. Just as he did for FBIHQ
Dale Watson, former Terror Task Force chief John O'Neill
also complained about sabotage by Pickard. But because
O'Neill’s story was never discussed in public, Pickard was
never asked about this point. What exactly "went wrong,”
causing Pickard to ignore the various warnings about a
possible terrorist attack and the memos from Williams about
the flying lessons by Muslims and the arrest of Zacarias
Moussaoui? We should take a look at Pickard’s career to
find a possible answer on this. Pickard started his
career as an agent in the FBI's New York office in 1975 and
went on to work on a number of high-profile cases.
Pickard went undercover and offered congressmen bribes as
part of the 1979 Abscam probe and supervised the FBI's role
in trials in the first World Trade Center attack and the
arrest of Ramzi Youssef, charged with plotting to blow up
U.S. airliners. He also helped oversee the investigation
into the explosion of TWA Flight 800, the espionage
investigation of former FBI agent Earl Edwin Pitts and the
capture in Pakistan of Mir Aimal Kasi, who was convicted of
killing CIA workers at a traffic light outside the agency's
headquarters. Now this specialist Pickard claims he never
heard about the memos by Williams and Rowley. Even with all
these connections? The Washington Post seemed to believe
this too: "The Phoenix memo was circulated only among
counterterrorism divisions in New York and at Washington
headquarters. It was not shown to then-acting director
Thomas J. Pickard or other senior FBI managers, officials
said." But
the question is why these memos were not shown to Pickard?
In November 2001 Pickard retired and started a job at
Bristol Myers Squibb as new Head Of Corporate Security in
January 2002.
Did Pickard let the attack happen on purpose? If so,
under whose influence? Did he also know about a possible
anthrax attack? Is that the reason he later started a job
in the pharmacy? Did he let the anthrax attack happen as
well? "Recruit spies inside
terrorist organizations if you can't recruit people with
some kind of a violent past.." Many people claim, that ex-CIA director Woolsey had
so much insider information, that it seems very unrealistic
to claim he wasn't able to connect the dots of all these
early warnings before Sep. 11th and didn't warn the highest
levels of Pentagon and the White House to prevent the
attacks. Some even think, he is also member of the
so-called shadow government, "to ensure survival of federal
rule after catastrophic attack", the existence of which was
confirmed by Bush on March 1st, 2002. But
what are the goals of this shadow government? Did Woolsey
have personal interest in letting the attacks happen on
purpose? Woolsey has a long experience with the US
government. He is a close friend of Richard Armitage,
Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz, a group often called the
“Wolfowitz Cabal” under Reagan and Bush I. Woolsey probably
has a lot of conflicts of interest. R. James Woolsey was
the director of Central Intelligence from 1993-95. He served
as an ambassador and United States representative to the
Negotiation on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE),
Vienna from 1989-91. Woolsey served as the undersecretary
of the Navy from 1977-79, and was general counsel to the
U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services from 1970-73. In
addition, he was an advisor to the U.S. delegation for the
Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT I) in Helsinki and
Vienna, an analyst with the Office of the Secretary of
Defense and National Security Council staff, and a captain
in the U.S. Army. Woolsey was a delegate at large at the
U.S.-Soviet Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START) and Space
Arms Talks (NST). In the private sector, he has served as
director of Martin Marietta, as well as British Aerospace,
Fairchild Industries, Titan Corporation, USF&G, Sun
Healthcare Group Inc., Yurie Systems Inc and DynCorp, where
ENRON executive Herbert S. "Pug" Winokur is on the board as
well. DynCorp, according to Alex Cockburn and Jeff St.
Clair, is the nation's twenty-second largest defense
contractor with 1998 U.S. Government contract revenues of
$475 million. DynCorp, which currently has between 300-600
contracted employees in Colombia, is performing functions
like crop eradication (using defoliants – similar to those
used in Vietnam), to sophisticated aerial reconnaissance, to
combat advisory roles training military and possibly even
paramilitary forces. As noted by highly credible writers
such as Peter Dale Scott, Col. Fletcher Prouty and even the
legendary "retired" CIA executive Ted Shackley in his book
The Third Option, the use of private corporations, whether
directly owned by CIA as "proprietaries" or not, is a common
practice for the extension of U.S. military and diplomatic
power. James Woolsey, who now describes himself as a
"private citizen," is the man who was very early on
entrusted with investigating Iraqi involvement in the
September 11 attacks and anthrax outbreaks. He also
perpetuated the incompetence theory of the Sep. 11th
attacks. Does that implicate him as well? That seems very
unrealistic. Woolsey is a master strategist. It is well
known that he wanted a war against the Taliban for years,
but was even more interested in a war against Iraq. The
Iraqi National Congress, the exiled group that opposes
Saddam Hussein, said in October 2001 that it held meetings
in London with Mr Woolsey. Administration sources have
said his trip was funded and approved by Paul Wolfowitz, the
deputy Defense secretary. But Woolsey made no comment about
the exact nature of his brief. He told The Telegraph: "I was
in London and that's it."
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=%2Fnews%2F2001%2F10%2F26%2Fwirq26.xml Woolsey
also supported the story, that Mohammad Atta met an Iraqi
diplomat in Prague. This was obviously based on rigged
information. However Woolsey said, "I doubt very seriously
if this was simply a social relationship or that they liked
to drink Czech beer together." and expressed this in
Pentagon's Top Advisor Richard Perle’s paper Daily
Telegraph, owned by Perle’s company Hollinger Inc.
Woolsey participated also in various Terror Scenario war
games. On Jan. 22, 2000 he participated in a CFR Project run
as a war-game simulation at its Manhattan headquarters. For
the simulation, the CFR enlisted 75 people, including
bankers, former Treasury Secretaries, and former State
Department officials. Participants were divided into four
teams, sent into four rooms, with the ability to communicate
with each other and with a command headquarters through the
computers. In May 2000 Woolsey participated in a
bioterrorism exercise at Andrews Air Force Base. He
played the CIA director. This event was organised by the
Hopkins Center, in collaboration with the ANSER Institute
for Homeland Defense, the Center for Strategic and
International Studies and the Oklahoma Memorial Institute
for the Study of Terrorism. This was played out before a high-powered audience of 250
people, comprised largely of bankers, investors, corporation
officials, and policymakers, mostly from the United States,
but also from Europe, and revolved around the possibility
that the U.S. stock market, and potentially the world
financial system would undergo a melt down. Woolsey knew
also about the Bio Terror Scenarios organized by Dr.
Inglesby (Johns Hopkins Institute) almost simultaneously, in
St. Louis and Atlanta (June 15 and 16, June 26 and 27,
2000). Finally Woolsey also particpated in the biggest
Terror Scenario, called Dark Winter, once again developed by
Dr. Inglesby (John Hopkins), which took place on June
22-23rd 2001 In Dark Winter Woolsey "played" the director
of the FBI. Woolsey knew exactly, what the United States could expect
very soon. He still had enough contacts at the CIA. But
maybe it was a conflict of interest which stopped him from
doing anything. Wooolsey is also partner of the law firm
Shea and Gardner, which represents Arthur Andersen LLP,
Ernst & Young and also General Electric and Lockheed-Martin,
two more corporates with a huge interest in a "war against
terrorism". Shea & Gardner was founded in 1947 by Francis
M. Shea and Warner W. Gardner, both of whom had served with
distinction in the Roosevelt and Truman Administrations.
http://www.sheagardner.com/FSL5CS/Custom/home.asp
Woolsey is a Warhawk. Woolsey was once appointed by
President Reagan as Delegate at Large to the U.S.-Soviet
Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START) and Nuclear and Space
Arms Talks (NST). Woolsey is also presently still a member
of the boards of directors, or boards of managers, of:
Linsang Partners, LLC; BC International Corporation;
Fibersense Technology Corporation; Invicta Networks, Inc.;
DIANA, LLC; Agorics, Inc.; and Sun HealthCare Group, Inc. He
is also a member of the Board of Governors of the
Philadelphia Stock Exchange. But with all his
connections, his only response in a PBS interview on
September 11th was: "Well, they may well have had some kind
of indication that something was going to happen."
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/military/terroristattack/intelligence2.html
With all due respect, but this seems to be
bogus. In the same interview he also said something else
rather strange: "...in terrorist groups, there isn't
anybody except people who want to be terrorists. So it cuts
back on your ability to recruit spies inside terrorist
organizations if you can't recruit people with some kind of
a violent past.." How does this fit with the history of
the Taliban, which was created with the help of the CIA and
ISI? It also seems like a Freudian slip , when the CIA
confirms something like this: "U.S. had agents inside
al-Qaeda ...the terror group, but the intercepts and field
reports didn't specify where or when a strike might occur.."
Woolsey definitely knew about these CIA moles. Did he
let the attack happen on purpose? If so, under whose
direction or influence?
"something spectacular
is going to happen." If
anyone knew most about warnings and war plans at the same
time, it was Richard Clarke. Interestingly Richard Clarke
was also connected with John O'Neill, who died in the World
Trade Center. This is what the New Yorker wrote about their
relationship: "On a Sunday morning in February, 1995,
Clarke went to his office to review intelligence cables that
had come in over the weekend. One of the cables reported
that Ramzi Yousef, the suspected mastermind behind the first
World Trade Center bombing, two years earlier, had been
spotted in Pakistan. Clarke immediately called the F.B.I.
A man whose voice was unfamiliar to him answered the phone.
"O'Neill," he growled. "Who are you?" Clarke said. "I'm John
O'Neill," the man replied. "Who the hell are you?" O'Neill
had just been appointed chief of the F.B.I.'s
counter-terrorism section, in Washington. He was
forty-two years old, and had been transferred from the
bureau's Chicago office. After driving all night, he had
gone directly to headquarters that Sunday morning without
dropping off his bags. When he heard Clarke's report
about Yousef, O'Neill entered the F.B.I.'s Strategic
Information Operations Center (SIOC) and telephoned Thomas
Pickard, the head of the bureau's National Security Division
in New York. Pickard then called Mary Jo White, the United
States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, who
had indicted Yousef in the bombing case. One of O'Neill's
new responsibilities was to put together a team to bring the
suspect home. It was composed of agents who were working on
the case, a State Department representative, a medical
doctor, a hostage-rescue team. In Washington, O'Neill became
part of a close-knit group of counter-terrorism experts
which formed around Richard Clarke. The members of this
inner circle, which was known as the Counter-terrorism
Security Group (C.S.G.), were drawn mainly from the C.I.A.,
the National Security Council, and the upper tiers of the
Defense Department, the Justice Department, and the State
Department. They met every week in the White House
Situation Room. "John could lead a discussion at that
level," R. P. Eddy, who was an N.S.C. director at the time,
told me. "He was not just the guy you turned to for a
situation report. He was the guy who would say the thing
that everybody in the room wishes he had said."
During 2001 Richard Clarke worked almost 24/7 in the CSG
and was exposed to a great deal of information about a
possible terrorist threat. On April 20, when the group
transmitted a 12-page discussion draft for the first time to
their superiors, they were proposing a plan of "significant
action to permanently erode what is now a robust terrorist
organization."
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&contentId=A8802-2002Jan19 Intelligence
had been streaming in concerning a likely Al Qaeda attack.
"It all came together in the third week in June," Clarke
said. "The C.I.A.'s view was that a major terrorist attack
was coming in the next several weeks." As MSNBC
confirmed, on May 23rd 2002 Richard Clarke reacted first:
"...As a precaution, however, the National Security
Council's counterterrorism coordinator, Richard Clarke,
advised the FAA to issue a warning about the hijacking
threat, which resulted in the June 22 warning, officials
said...." On June 29, 2002 U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan
William B. Milam, who heard about all the warnings of a,
"major attack on U.S. interests", tried to get in touch with
the Taliban Ambassador Abdul Salam Zaeef in Pakistan.
Richard Clarke heard about this planned meeting by
telephone, "conveyed the same message to intermediaries in
the United Arab Emirates". "On July 5th, 2001 Richard Clarke convened a White House
meeting of the Counterterrorism Security Group; then met
with Rice and Bush Chief of Staff Andrew Card; then met
again with CSG plus, Federal Aviation Administration, FBI
and Immigration and Naturalization Service. Clarke told
them: "something spectacular is going to happen."
http://www.npr.org/programs/morning/features/2002/may/timeline/
(National Press Review) From then on Richard Clarke met
daily with his team. It seems unrealistic that he would
support the incompetence theory as well. How much did he
know and did he let the attack happen due to pressure from
somewhere else? Did this pressure come from the weapons –
biopharmacy - and biodefense industries? Clarke also
supervised the cyberspace security and was already
counterterrorism coordinator for President Clinton. With
all his influence and experience - was he bribable? He
also coordinated the unmanned Predator test flights, which
had been later used in Afghanistan. Instead of conflicting
reports, USA TODAY found out, that "officials ...have said
unarmed Predators flew reconnaissance missions over
Afghanistan before 2001" This
means, a war against the Taliban was long in the planning.
Did the attack help to further this goal? Clarke was
also the one, who confirmed, that a "mud complex was built
in the deserts of the United States to simulate bin Laden's
headquarters, and then struck by a Hellfire missile fired by
a Predator...." Clarke is also member of the Homeland
Security Council and the Critical Infrastructure Protection
And
Clarke was a warhawk as well. "...In October 1998, Richard
Clarke continued the policy of US officials announcing
confusing assessments, even including nuclear weapons in one
single tally. In his remarks at the Washington Institute
for Near East Policy, he observed that, "Twenty-two
countries, however, do possess them, if you consider
biological weapons, chemical weapons, and nuclear weapons to
be weapons of mass destruction." After Clarke’s White House meeting on July 5th, 2002 he
was updated about every new involvement: July 6 - The
Counterterrorism Security Group meets again in the White
House; learns that targets for attack are located in Paris,
Rome and Turkey. July 10 - Phoenix FBI agent Kenneth
Williams sends electronic memo to FBI headquarters, urging
investigation of possible terrorists connected to bin Laden
enrolled in American flight schools. July 18 - FAA warns
airlines to exercise the highest level of caution. Mid-July
CIA disrupts attacks in Paris, Rome and Turkey. July
20-23 - High Alert when President Bush attends G-8 summit
in Genoa, Italy. July 31 - The FAA issues another warning
to airlines: terrorists are planning and training for
hijackings. Aug. 6 - CIA's Tenet briefs President Bush in
Crawford, Texas, on a generalized terror threat, including
Osama bin Laden and hijackings. Aug. 17 - The INS detains
Zacarias Moussaoui for suspicious activity at a Minnesota
flight school. Sept. 4 - Robert Mueller becomes FBI
director. A week before the Sept. 11 attack, FBI
investigators told the Federal Aviation Administration that
student-pilot Zacarias Moussaoui had been arrested and was
under investigation as a potential terrorist with a
particular interest in flying Boeing 747s. But the agency
decided against warning U.S. airlines to increase security.
http://stacks.msnbc.com/news/754681.asp?0bl=-0
Clarke always had the same information as the FBI and
CIA, however, MSNBC claimed: "...The FBI didn't inform Mr.
Clarke or other White House officials about the Moussaoui
arrest prior to Sept. 11, officials said..." Clarke probably had this information from someone else.
But what did he exactly do between Sep. 4th and Sep.
11th? Did he also know about the Pentagon’s advice to its
employees on Sep 10th not to fly commercially on the
following day? (MSNBC) How was his interaction with the
CFR? CFR members George Shultz and Gary Hart received a
warning as also Mayor Willie Brown of San
Francisco. During
the last weeks before Sep. 11th, the CIA received still more
warnings from the intelligence services of Italy, France,
Jordan, Egypt, Russia, Germany, UK, Morocco, and Israel. The
latter warned them twice. The only secret service which
didn't warn the US, was Pakistan’s ISI, even with all their
good connections to the Taliban and therefore information
about Bin Laden. But their chief General Massoud visited
Washington between Sep. 4th and Sep. 15th. Nothing is
known about this meeting, but he met Richard Clarke’s friend
Richard Armitage and James Woolsey of the CIA. From all
these reports it is pretty obvious that some high ranking
officials in Pentagon and CIA allowed the attack to happen
to justify war against the Taliban. But what was the role
of Clarke? Did he allow the attack to happen as well?
"It was only a matter
of time before we could expect the events of last week.."
Richard Perle had one big reason to let the Sep11th
attack happen: A war against Iraq. The war against the
Taliban was only a warmup to achieve this goal as it now
seems to be. There has been no single day, when he didn't
promote this anti-Iraq plan since Sept 11th, and he also
used every possibility to promote his ideas long time
before Sept 11th. Perle is currently Head of the Defense
Policy Board, Department of Defense which advises the
Pentagon. He was also promoting the famous axis of evil
long time before Bush did: On August 6th, 2001 Perle said:
"...We're concerned about Saddam Hussein, we're concerned
about the North Koreans, about some future Iranian
government that may have the weapon they're now trying so
hard to acquire - we're in a unique position as the sole
super power.." Richard
Perle’s career started when at the age of 25, when he worked
for Sen. Henry (Scoop) Jackson under Richard Nixon. Later he
worked for the Israeli weapons firm Soltam. Perle is often
manipulating the media and was one of the first, who
supported the October Anthrax-Iraq theory. He learned his
main skills as assistant secretary of defense in the Reagan
administration. Richard Perle then became a represantative
of the so called NeoCons. "...’Neoconservatives’ are
mostly former leftists/liberals who converted to
conservatism during the '70's and when Ronald Reagan became
President. In domestic policy they tend to be moderate
‘welfare’ Republicans. However, their major concern is
foreign policy. They strongly favor US military
interventions overseas and becoming the world’s policeman.
They promoted the first Iraq War and are constantly the
instigators for more confrontation with Iraq, Iran, the
Sudan, and other Moslem states. They were among the chief
instigators of the Kosovo War. In Washington ‘neocon’ views
dominate the major networks' Sunday talk
shows.” They
are specifically represented by Richard Perle, Bill Kristol
& Richard Brooks (WEEKLY STANDARD), Paul Wolfowitz, Fred
Barnes, Morton Kondracke, Charles Krauthammer, Frank Gaffney
(former aid to Richard Perle and WASHINGTON TIMES
columnist), Robert Kagan (Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace), columnist Cal Thomas, a
dispensationalist, and many others. Neoconservatives are
the dominant force over establishment Republicans in
Congress. Their main base among think tanks is the
AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE ( a policy paper in January,
2001, urged American attacks on Iran, Iraq, Libya, Syria,
and Gaza. Others are the HERITAGE FOUNDATION , ETHICS AND
PUBLIC POLICY CENTER, and BROOKINGS INSTITUTION..." Perle
has always had complex interests. Perle is known as the
"Prince of Darkness", a "master of disinformation who
helped win the Cold War". In 1985 Perle and Paul Wolfowitz
had been suspected of supporting the Israeli spy Jonathan
Pollard selling documents to Russia. In 1995 Mr. Perle
teamed with current undersecretary of defense Douglas J.
Feith (former attorney with the Washington firm of Feith and
Zell) to represent the Bosnian government. According to
Richard Holbrooke, the principal U.S. negotiator at the 1995
Dayton peace talks, Mr. Perle and Mr. Feith worked for and
advised the Bosnians during the talks. Perle is also
Director of Hollinger Inc, a subsidiary of which Hollinger
Digital also owns Onset Technology which cooperates with spy
messenger software of Comverse and Odigo. Hollinger Inc.
owns more than 400 newspapers worldwide and controls almost
50% of the Canadian press. They are the third largest
newspaper chain in the Western world, after Gannett and
Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. Chairman and CEO of
Hollinger is Conrad Black who controls about 78% of
Hollinger through a private holding company. Hollinger
also owns the Sydney Morning Herald, the Chicago Sun Times
and the Daily Telegraph. On the board of Daily Telegraph
is Henry Kissinger, ex-CIA-Director James Woolsey, Newt
Gingrich, former Admiral David Jeremiah, Dan Quayle, former
US-ministers James Schlesinger and Harold Brown. On 26th
of October Daily Telegraph tried to promote the
Iraq-October-anthrax theory: Hollinger
and their board members, including Henry Kissinger, have
connections to Sunday Times, Chase Manhattan Bank, AT&T,
American Express, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co, Gulfstream
Aerospace Corporation, Hasbro and Israeli Yellow Pages.
Hollinger also owns the Jerusalem Post. It's very
convenient to follow Richard Perle’s strategy, supported by
his friends James Woolsey, Paul Wolfowitz and Richard
Armitage. Already on September 20th, four days after the
attack Perle tried to blame the attack on Iraq. In a
meeting with the Wolfowitz Cabal they discussed a strategy
and finally sent a letter to Bush with 41 signatures to
continue their strategy. One of the supporters of this letter was
Charles Krauthammer, who once did psychiatric research for
the Carter Administration. He was also a speech writer to
Vice President Walter Mondale 1980. Krauthammer once said:
"...The end of the Cold War has brought about a new world
order. The United States is the predominant power.."
(7/5/01) Already in 1998 a similar letter was addressed to
President Clinton. Paul Wolfowitz was one of the
signatories. The current secretary of defense, Donald
Rumsfeld, also signed the letter Perle’s biggest aim was
always to get Saddam Hussein. "The only way to eliminate
Saddam Hussein's governance is by organizing a coup d'etat
against him..." "There can be no victory in the war
against terrorism if, at the end of it, Saddam Hussein is
still in power." About ABM Treaty: "...ABM treaty. No -
it's a relic of the cold war..." Cynically, Perle said
after the Sep11th attack: "..I don't want to sound callous,
because I was among those who thought we weren't doing
enough and that it was only a matter of time before we could
expect the events of last week.." It
is very naive to think, that President Bush wants this war.
In reality people behind him use him as a puppet and plot
against people, who are not radical enough to follow their
own strategy. Colin Powell might be one of them. How much
influence did Perle really have before the attacks? Was he
one of the few, who forced the Sep11th attack to let it
happen? "You can't wait until
you have evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that somebody
did something in the past" If
anything needs no evidence, than it is the fact, that
Wolfowitz wants to replace Donald Rumsfeld, he's even
already in discussion. Also without any discussion it's a
fact, that Wolfowitz wants a war against Iraq. Wolfowitz is
much louder than other supporters like Richard Perle or
James Woolsey and was even in Turkey working on new allies
for this plan. If this is so obvious, then when why not
speculate about the possibility that he wanted a war against
the Taliban before Sept 11th as well? Wolfowitz is
currently Deputy Secretary of Defense therefore the number
two man at the Pentagon since 2000 . For the last eight
years, Dr. Wolfowitz has served as Dean and Professor of
International Relations at the Paul H. Nitze School of
Advanced International Studies (SAIS) of The Johns Hopkins
University. Paul Wolfowitz is also a good friend of
current mayor Bloomberg, who was his boss for a while when
he was the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Hopkins.
From 1989 to 1993, Dr. Wolfowitz served as Under
Secretary of Defense for Policy in charge of the 700-person
defense policy team that was responsible to Secretary Dick
Cheney for matters concerning strategy, plans, and policy.
During this period Secretary Wolfowitz and his staff had
major responsibilities for the reshaping of strategy and
force posture at the end of the Cold War. For four years
(1973-77) he was in the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency,
working on the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks and a number
of nuclear nonproliferation issues. There is not much
known about where Paul Wolfowitz was between September 10th
and 11th, but obviously he was in touch with Dick Cheney who
gave the Okay to shoot-down Flight 93. Wolfowitz: "in fact
we were already tracking in on that plane that crashed in
Pennsylvania" The question is whether he was in touch with Donald
Rumsfeld that day too. According to Veronica Clarke,
spokesman of the Pentagon, Rumsfeld was "on the phone" with
someone after they saw on TV how the second plane hit the
World Trade Center. But no-one started the command to
evacuate the Pentagon - why? It is also still an open
question if he was in contact with General Myers and/or the
commanding officer of NORAD that day, General Ralph
Eberhart. Army Gen. Henry Shelton, was "somewhere over the
Atlantic" en route to Europe when the attacks occurred, and
Myers wasn't in the Pentagon, too. "...Myers said he was
on Capitol Hill that morning in the offices of Georgia Sen.
Max Cleland to discuss his confirmation hearing to become
chairman. While in an outer office, he said, he saw a
television report that a plane had hit the World Trade
Center. "They thought it was a small plane or something
like that," Myers said. So the two men went ahead with
the office call. Meanwhile, the second World Trade Center
tower was hit by another jet. "Nobody informed us of that,"
Myers said. "But when we came out, that was obvious. Then,
right at that time, somebody said the Pentagon had been
hit." Somebody thrust a cell phone in Myers's hand. Gen.
Ralph Eberhart, commander of U.S. Space Command and the
North American Aerospace Defense Command, was on the other
end of the line "talking about what was happening and the
actions he was going to take." What
did Rumsfeld, Myers and Wolfowitz say to each other and at
which time? On 9/13, General Richard Myers appeared
before the Senate Armed Services Committee for his
confirmation hearing as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff. He was asked some pointed questions regarding the
military response (or lack there of) on 9/11. He
contradicted himself several times, indicating that in two
days time, he really couldn’t account for the military’s
performance. Either this or he was stonewalling. The
Senate Committee Chair (Carl Levin, D-MI) offered more than
once to take Myers testimony during the closed-door portion
of the hearing, evidently in an effort to keep the General
from embarrassing himself any further. Myers appointment as
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs breezed right on through.
General Ralph Eberhart, NORAD’s commanding officer on
911, testified before the same committee on 10/25/01. By
this time the military officials were all pretty much
following the same line – the incompetence theory. They
also, however, should have been able to answer one simple
question: “At what time did the FAA notify you that there
was a problem?” Eberhart said he didn’t know and passed
the buck to the FAA. What was Wolfowitz’s role on
Sep11th? How much did he know on September 10th and how
far did he plan the war in Afghanistan before Sept 11th,
together with Shelton and Woolsey?" "...assumptions that
went into military plans on September 10th just don't apply
any more.." As
Newsweek found out, the Pentagon, was on high alert on
September 10th and told their employees not to take the
plane on the following day. But the Pentagon had also
enough time for the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in
the Services, who gathered in Pentagon Conference Room
5C1042. This civilian advisory committee, whose members have
the protocol status of three-star generals, monitors the
concerns of women in uniform. And what was the topic of
discussion on the eve of the worst attack in U. S. history?
"After briefings from representatives of the Army, Navy,
Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard, DACOWITS, as the
committee is known, issued a formal request for more
information on what they deemed a matter of paramount
military significance: breast-feeding." On the next day the first hijack was already known at
around 8 AM. It's very strange, that this information didn't
reach the Air Force in time. What did Wolfowitz do that
time? Why was NORAD not activated? From the standard line
about NORAD: “The mission of NORAD had been to look for
enemies from without, assuming that any aircraft taking off
from the U.S. is friendly in origin.” Wolfowitz, a native
of New York and a graduate of Cornell University,
immediately said after the attack in a BBC Interview, to
"end" states sponsoring or harbouring militants but was
speaking about Iraq. "This is not an Islamic act that was
conducted. If I'm not wrong, there are only two significant
figures in the Muslim world who have praised this attack,
Saddam Hussein being one and the leader of Hamas being the
other" . Obviously Wolfowitz didn't care much about the
official version, he created his own one, which still
exists: that there are ties between bin Laden and
Iraq. Wolfowitz is often caught manipulating official
statements by Washington and in one case, Colin Powell was
very angry about it. On October 7th, when the war against
the Taliban started, Wolfowitz manipulated a letter of
UN-Ambassador John Negroponte (who was involved in the
Iran-Contra affair) and added, that also other strikes
against Iraq, Syria or Sudan might be possible. Did
Wolfowitz let the attack happen on purpose?
"We had started looking
at options for a military campaign." Supporters of the Sept 11th "incompetence theory" have
obviously never read statements of General Henry H.
Shelton. He was definitely one of the few, who wanted to
start a war against the Taliban. He also knew about the
problems from former Northern Alliance Commander Ahmed Shah
Massoud. It was even well known in the US Congress, when
Massoud proclaimed a message for Bush on April 5, 2001 at
the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France: "If
President Bush doesn't help us," he replied in Persian,
according to a recording of his remarks translated by Afghan
allies, "then these terrorists will damage the United States
and Europe very soon, and it will be too late."
The
war however was already planned since 1997/8, at a time,
when oil company UNOCAL struggled in negotiations with the
Taliban. Shelton knew all this. They had to work on a plan
to get rid of the Taliban again. In May 2001, some unknown
CIA officers traveled into northern Afghanistan to silence
Massoud with cash and supplies in small amounts in exchange
for intelligence on Al Qaeda. At the same time the attack
on America was in its final phase. Coincidence? As the
Washington Post wrote in January 2002, summer 2001 brought,
"a storm of intelligence warnings that blew longer and
harder even than those of the millennium. Through June and
July, one foreign interlocutor said, CIA Director George J.
Tenet worked himself ‘nearly frantic’ with concern.” At
Langley, Tenet was nearly ready. His proposed assistance to
the Northern Alliance rebels ranged between $125 million to
$200 million and included money, battlefield intelligence,
and non-lethal equipment such as body armor and winter
clothing" Henry H. Shelton supported George Tenet and
liked his plan to back anti-Taliban rebels. He even almost
confirmed in public that he was personally involved in the
war plans: Talking about Sept 4th, when Massoud was still
alive, he said, "We had started looking at options", for
a military campaign before that, he said. But, "we had
really not leaned into going into Afghanistan against al
Qaeda in the manner we did, or against the Taliban almost at
all, until September 11th." However
he was also in India on May 31, but the press could find "no
specific details" for this meeting. Later it came out,
that during his visit, General Shelton would be calling on
Defence Minister Jaswant Singh and the three service chiefs
- Navy chief Admiral Sushil Kumar, Army chief General S
Padmanabhan and Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal AY
Tipnis. In
the military newsletter "Military News" we find another
conclusion, which probably resulted from this meeting:
http://198.65.138.161/military/library/news/2001/09/mil-010905-216109ef.htm INTRO:
Shelton was one of the
Chiefs, who moved all the troops to the Middle-East. On
June 28, 2001 he explained his visions: "...Within civilian
industry, the replacement, restoration or modernization of
physical plant assets is accomplished in roughly a 50-year
cycle... Joint Vision 2020 - “...Our future force must be
a seamless joint force and our roadmap for achieving this
joint force is detailed in Joint Vision 2020 (JV
2020)..." The
early September weeks showed us a very significant countdown
of this war and the Bush family knew, that something would
happen very soon: September 1-10, 2001 25,000
British troops and the largest British Armada since the
Falkland Islands War, part of Operation 'Essential Harvest,'
planned to be pre-positioned in Oman, the closest point on
the Arabian Peninsula to Pakistan. At the same time two
U.S. carrier battle groups arrive on station in the Gulf of
Arabia just off the Pakistani coast. Also at the same time,
some 17,000 U.S. troops join more than 23,000 NATO troops in
Egypt for Operation 'Bright Star.' The forces are in place
before the first plane hits the World Trade Center.

September 10th, 2001 Many air bases are on high alert,
and also the Pentagon (MSNBC). One article also claims
that The Defense Language Institute in Monterey was put on
alert. Interestingly this institute later organised two of
the "independent translators" for the bin Laden video. Some
articles also claim, that two of the official hijackers even
worked at Monterey as well. But the biggest smoking gun
for a LIHOP is probably a letter of former Lt. Col. Steve
Butler of Monterey (a possible whistleblower?): On
May26th, 2002 his letter, which was first released in a
local paper of Monterey appeared also in the Herald Tribune,
where he accused President Bush of letting the attack happen
on purpose: "Of course Bush knew about the impending
attacks on America. He did nothing to warn the American
people because he needed this war on terrorism. His daddy
had Saddam and he needed Osama." The full letter is at:
http://www.democrats.com/view.cfm?id=7735 Butler
of course promptly gets fired. The story appears on
BBC:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/americas/newsid_2025000/2025939.stm It
looks now, that all these war plans had finally been leaked
to the press as well. Newsweek tried to give the war plans
the twist of an "incompetence theory" as well. For this
thinking to work out depends on the reaction of their
readers, who hopefully are able to read between the
lines. Shelton too is mentioned in this article. His
influence was important for this war. But obviously he
wasn't of need anymore after Sept 11th. One of his last
actions was to appear in a meeting with George Tenet. It
even made the news pages in the Washington Post and was
later analysed in "workers world": Tenet said the CIA
had begun working with a number of tribal leaders in the
south the previous year. ... Some would try to play both
sides but once the war began, they could be enticed by
money, food, ammunition and supplies to join the U.S. - led
campaign." The Post described how, at the
Camp David meeting, "Tenet then turned to another top secret
document, called 'Worldwide Attack Matrix,' which described
covert operations in 80 countries that were either under way
or that he was now recommending. "The final presentation
of the morning came from Gen. Henry H. Shelton, chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who had also brought a big brief
case to Camp David." In other words, Tenet and Shelton
described a long-planned, ground and air campaign in all its
precision, including the battle of Mazar-e-Sharif--which
later took place, prompting a great massacre carried out by
the Northern Alliance. When the smoke cleared after the
initial big offensive in Afghanistan, the Pentagon had new
military bases in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgizstan. It
has the dominant position in the oil rich region of the
Caspian Sea...."
http://www.workers.org/ww/2002/war0530.php However Shelton wasn't
able to support this war any longer. He retired on
October 1st, 2001 and was replaced by General Richard B.
Myers who became the fifteenth Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff. Did someone try to take him off the radar as
well? It is also interesting to know how many members of
the Bush Administration hadn't been around on Sept 11th.
Though they had all these major warnings about an attack
with planes. One warning was even about Sept 4th and on Sept
10th the Pentagon told their employees not to take some
planes on the following day. Shelton wasn't in the
Pentagon on Sept 11th, but he also wasn't in the States at
all. He was halfway across the Atlantic on the way to
Europe. He
later said on the same day: "I will tell you up front, I
have no intentions of discussing today what comes next, but
make no mistake about it, your armed forces are
ready." What
happened with Shelton after October 2001? He completely
retired from the army. It would be interesting to grill
him on a commission again, but there might be a
problem: Shelton had an accident on March
2002:
http://www.dtic.mil/armylink/news/Mar2002/a20020327shelton.html March
27, 2002 "...The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, retired Gen. Henry H. Shelton, is being treated at
Walter Reed Army Medical Center for a spinal injury suffered
March 23 when he reportedly fell off a ladder at his home in
northern Virginia. Shelton initially experienced partial
paralysis..." How much did Shelton know and what is he not
allowed to say anymore? Was he one of the few, who let the
Sept 11th attack happen on
purpose? "What we are
desirous of is for our Pakistani friends to try and develop
a relationship about Pakistan" Many people think, that Richard Armitage had many
reasons to let the attack happen as well. To explain his
motives, we should first take a look at his bio. Born in
1945, Mr. Richard Lee Armitage, who has been nominated by
President George Bush as Deputy Secretary of State under
Gen.Colin Powell, graduated in 1967 from the U.S. Naval
Academy and was commissioned as an ensign. He served on
a destroyer stationed on the Vietnam coastline and
subsequently did three combat tours with the advisor forces
in Vietnam. He became fluent in Vietnamese. Mr. Armitage
left active duty in 1973 and joined the U.S. Defense
Attache's Office in Saigon. Before the fall of Saigon, he
organized the evacuation of the Vietnamese naval assets and
personnel who had collaborated with the US, from that
country. In May 1975 Mr. Armitage joined the Defense
Intelligence Agency (DIA) in Washington as a It is generally believed that Mr.Armitage
actually served in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
till 1978 and from 1976, after a cover resignation from the
CIA, worked for some private companies of the CIA, which
were being used by it for covert actions in Indo-China.
His critics had alleged in the past that he was the
author of the idea of using heroin to weaken the fighting
capability of the communists in Indo-China and then in
Afghanistan though the late Le Comte de Marenches, the head
of the French External Intelligence Agency under Presidents
George Pompidou and Giscard d'Estaing, had claimed that it
was he who had given this idea to the Americans with
specific reference to Afghanistan. (Aside: Previous
attempts to rule the world In 1978, he joined the staff of Senator Robert Dole of
Kansas as Administrative Assistant. During the 1980
presidential campaign of President Ronald Reagan, Mr.
Armitage served as senior advisor to Mr. Reagan's Interim
Foreign Policy Advisory Board. After becoming President in
January,1981, Mr. Reagan appointed him Deputy Assistant
Secretary of Defense for East Asia and Pacific Affairs.
In June 1983, he was elevated to Assistant Secretary of
Defense for International Security Affairs, in which post
he continued till May,1989. In that capacity, he was
responsible for developing politico-military relationships
and initiatives throughout the world; the U.S. Pacific
security policy, including the U.S.-Japan and the
U.S.-China security relationships; all DoD Security
Assistance programs, and oversight of policies relating to
the law of the sea; U.S. special operations forces; and
counter-terrorism. He also played a leading role in Middle
East security policies. Between 1989 and 1992, Mr.
Armitage served as Presidential Special Negotiator for the
Philippines Military Bases Agreement and as Special Mediator
for Water in the Middle East. President Bush (Sr) also
sent him as a Special Emissary to Jordan's King Hussein
during the 1991 Gulf War. From March 1992 until his
departure from public service in May 1993, Mr. Armitage
(with the personal rank of Ambassador) directed U.S.
assistance to the new independent states (NIS) of the former
Soviet Union. In May 1993, he floated an organization
called the Armitage Associates L. C., with himself as its
President, to provide consultancy services to US government
departments and business companies on a wide range of
subjects relating to international relations and security.
Other positions held by him since leaving public service
in 1993 include membership on the Board of Directors of the
General Dynamics Electric Systems, Inc.; membership on the
Board of Visitors of the United States Naval Academy;
holder of the Brig.Gen. H. L. Oppenheimer Chair of
Warfighting Strategy at the Marine Corps University;
membership on the National Defense Panel; membership of the
Board of Directors of the Roy F. Weston, Inc., and of the
U.S.-Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce; Chairman of the Board
of Visitors of the National Defense University, membership
on the Secretary Navy Committee on Women in the Navy and
Marine Corps; membership on the Board of Visitors of the
Naval War College and of the Advisory Board of the ManTech
International Corporation; and Chairman of the Honor Review
Committee for the United States Naval Academy. He is
reputed to be one of the most highly decorated officers of
the US public service. He has received numerous military
decorations from the governments of Thailand, Republic of
Korea, Bahrain, and Pakistan. He has been awarded the
Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service
four times, the Presidential Citizens' Medal, presented by
the President to citizens who have performed exemplary
deeds of service, and the Department of State Distinguished
Honor Award. In July 2000,a Commission on America's
National Interests, established by a group of Americans
with the help of well-known US think-tanks such as Harvard's
Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, the
Nixon Center, the RAND and the Hauser Foundation released a
report identifying the US national interests that should
receive the attention of the new US Administration coming to
office in January, 2001. The Commission was jointly
chaired by Mr. Robert Ellsworth of the Hamilton Technology
Ventures, L. P., Mr.Andrew Goodpaster of the Eisenhower
World Affairs Institute and Ms. Rita Hauser of the Hauser
Foundation and included, amongst its members, Mr.Armitage,
Ms.Condoleezza Rice, Mr.Bush's National Security Adviser,
and Mr. Brent Scowcroft, National Security Adviser under
Mr.George Bush (Sr), whom Ms. Rice once described as amongst
her mentors. Though this Commission was not set up by the
Republican Party, considering the active role played in it
by these three prominent personalities as well as many
others close to the Republican Party, its report warrants
close study by our policy-makers and analysts. In
October 2000 Armitage renamed the US Defense Program to
Allied Missile Defense to better reflect its new scope.
The ties between Richard Armitage (part of the so called
"Wolfowitz Cabal" around Paul Wolfowitz, In May 2001 Richard Armitage,
a career covert operative and former Navy Seal, traveled to
India on a publicized tour while CIA Director George Tenet
made a quiet visit to Pakistan to meet with Pakistani leader
General Pervez Musharraf. We can assume, that Armitage
received the same warning reports about an attack as many
other persons did: George Tenet (CIA), Richard Clarke (CSG),
Thomas Pickard (FBI), Dale Watson (FBIHQ) or Henry H.
Shelton (DOD). Clarke also informed Armitage about war
plans against the Taliban. In January 2001 Clarke sent
the first official memo to Condoleezza Rice, that something
was in planning. Even CNN confirmed in the meantime, that
in April 2001 Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage,
Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and Deputy National
Security Council Adviser Stephen Hadley, met "to discuss
U.S. policy against al Qaeda, approve "immediate actions"
against al Qaeda" Obviously
these official meetings had been only a cover up for what
was really going on in the Pentagon. It's in the meantime
very silly to believe, that these war plans had not been
synchronized with the warnings about an attack the CIA
received. Armitage had the best ties to both Pentagon and
CIA. He also has long and deep Pakistani intelligence
connections and he is the recipient of the highest civil
decoration awarded by Pakistan. It would be reasonable to
assume that "while he was in May 2001 in Islamabad, Tenet,
in what was described as 'an unusually long meeting,' also
met with his Pakistani counterpart, Lt. General Mahmud
Ahmad, head of the ISI" to discuss the war plans against the
Taliban. Another interview in June 2001 with the Indian
magazine "IndiaTogether" revealed, what Armitage really
planned last year: "...We believe India will be having a
global view again...there are several nations in the world
who really truly have a global view and we think India is
about to have that...On the question of actual missile
defense, the fourth element is one on which we didn't get
an immediate endorsement because the Government of India
said they hoped we would not do this unilaterally -- that
means break out of the ABM treaty - but they expressed a
great deal of understanding of the need... ...we had a
great relationship with Pakistan but it was in a way a
false relationship because in the first instance, it was
built against the India-Soviet Union axis and then latterly,
it was against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan...
...what we are desirous of is for our Pakistani friends
to try and develop a relationship about Pakistan.. as you
probably are aware, Pakistan's Foreign Minister Sattar is
coming, we look forward to discussions with him ..."
http://web.archive.org/web/20011021044946/http://www.indiatogether.org/us/news/armitage.html
Isn't it another ironic
coincidence that the attack against America helped Armitage
to achieve a new friendship with Pakistan? Does it not
really makes more sense, that Armitage had prior knowledge
about a war against the Taliban and was therefore helpful to
arrange all these meetings with India and Pakistan?
Actually later the United States decided on Pakistan as
an ally and stopped the ABM treaty in December 2001. But
why was Armitage already 3 months before the attack on
America so sure, that the relationship between Pakistan and
the Taliban would change as well? "I don't want to see
Pakistan only through the lens or the prism of Osama Bin
Laden... ...We want to look at Pakistan and see what
Pakistan thinks about Pakistan's future...obviously Osama,
the Taliban, the refugee problem...We are developing it, we
are in the process of working it out, in my view, for the
first time, a relationship with Pakistan... “ While
Armitage was concerned about the Taliban that time, it
obviously doesn't matter for him anymore today. Already
on 10 December 2001 the Taliban founded a new party in
Pakistan, but this was ignored by Armitage, White House +
Co. The party is called the Khudamul Furqan Jamiat (KFJ) or
Association of the Servants of Koran. It seeks to
establish an Islamic republic in Afghanistan. KFJ is led by
an Afghan spiritual leader Ahmed Amin Mujaddadi. Its other
members include the former Taliban ambassador to the UN and
Pakistan, Abdul Hakim Mujahid, ex-deputy information
minister, Abdur Rehman Ahmed Hotak, former deputy minister
for higher education Maulavi Arsalan Rehmani, the former
deputy chief of the Supreme Court, Maulavi Abdul Sattar
Siddiqi, and the former charge d’ affairs to Saudi Arabia,
Qazi Habibullah Fauzi. But this doesn't really matter for
Armitage anymore. In mid 2001 it was more important to get
allies for a war against the Taliban. Armitage did all this.
He had also already dealt with China: "...it was not
appropriate that I go to China given the state of our
relationship at the time for missile defense
consultations...but we didn't overlook China. Mr. Kelley
(James Kelley, Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian
Affairs), my colleague here, did go to Beijing and have
discussions there..." Armitage
also was in Japan and Korea in mid-May 2001: Tokyo and
Seoul. At the same time, Paul D. Wolfowitz, (Deputy
Defense Secretary), made a swing through Europe that
included a visit to Russia, the other major power on
China's border. Also
at the same time, a new RAND study was released, written by
former UNOCAL consultant Zalmay Khalilzad, at that time
senior director at the National Security Council, today
active for Bush in Afghanistan as well. This study
magically already envisioned "a coalition of U.S. Asian
allies, including Australia and the Philippines, acting
jointly to quell any regional conflict. It also suggests the
U.S. promote a balance of power between Russia, China, and
India so that none emerges as dominant." Unfortunately
this study didn't include the interesting twist, that
Khalizad once worked for UNOCAL in Afghanistan to get a
huge pipeline running,as part of the CentGas Consortium.
This pipeline might be also one of many reasons to plan
this war. Armitage had enough reasons to let the attack
happen on purpose. He is a warhawk, too. He once
served as Assistant Secretary of Defense for International
Security under the Reagan As later came out he was involved in the Iran-Contra
arms smuggling scandal and worked closely together with
main mastermind Oliver North. But there is also a current
conflict of interest. His undersecretary of State, Charlotte
Beers is lobbied by Bristol Myers Squibb, General Motors,
Texaco, Verizon and media mogul Disney to enforce
intellectual property agreements. Beers also owns
$100,001 - $250,000 of Exxon-Mobil stocks. Charlotte
Beers was hired by the US Administration to work on special
PR initiatives like the Rendon Group around the former
Office of Strategic Influence did and still does.
http://www.prwatch.org/prwissues/2001Q4/rendon.html Armitage
also owns at least $250,001 to $500,000 in stocks of
Electronic Data Systems, the 49th largest defense
contractor, which also lobbies the Defense Dept. over
various appropriations issues. And Armitage even owns a
huge amount of General Electric stocks as well and was
lobbied by Merck over the Biological Weapons Convention
implementation protocol. Armitage
is a strong supporter of old ideas by Zbigniew Brzezinski
("The grand chessboard") and Samuel Huntington. As part
of the Wolfowitz Cabal, Armitage was later also on the
National Defense Panel under Philip A. Odeen. Armitage is
also supporter of the current Defense Policy Board (with
many ties to England or Israel) who have supported a war
against the Iraq for years. Members of the Defense Policy
Board: Henry Kissinger, James Woolsey, Newt Gingrich,
former Admiral David Jeremiah, Dan Quayle, James
Schlesinger, Elliot Abrams (Iran-Contra) or former minister
of defense under Carter Harold Brown. But nothing happened
as the DPB wanted. Perhaps they needed some moles in the
government, or a person who would let this attack happen in
order to facilitate another one? Did Armitage let the
attack happen on purpose to get this war?
"Osama bin Laden and
his global network of lieutenants and associates remain the
most immediate and serious threat" There
are more quotes about George Tenet’s wish to start a war
against the Taliban than one think. Tenet has had at least
two different plans how to support a war against the Taliban
for years. One plan was in the form of a National Security
Presidential Directive, the other part of a 80 country
attack plan, called "worldwide attack matrix" This is even
no big secret. In January 2001 the Washington Post wrote
about this plan. It includes "propaganda operations,
support for internal police and foreign intelligence
services, and lethal covert action against terrorist groups
or individuals" Only
a few days after the attack on America, Tenet, who was in
deep contact with DoD commander in chief, Henry H. Shelton
met again and discussed again their "long-planned, ground
and air campaign in all its precision, including the battle
of Mazar-e-Sharif. But Tenet’s "Worldwide Attack Matrix"
also included a war against Iraq. An important key player
for the war against Iraq was Gen. Wayne A. Downing, the
deputy national security adviser for combating terrorism,
who has a large and expanding staff within the White House.
Downing, a former commander of U.S. Special Operations
forces, and the CIA are trying to identify individuals or
groups that might fill a leadership vacuum if Hussein is
toppled, sources said. Tenet was one of the main promoters
for a war against the Taliban, which was already planned for
October, long time before the Sep11th attacks. George
Tenet in June 2001: "Worldwide Threat 2001 terrorists are
seeking out ‘softer’ targets that provide opportunities for
mass casualties. Employing increasingly advanced devices and
using strategies such as simultaneous attacks... ...Osama
bin Laden and his global network of lieutenants and
associates remain the most immediate and serious
threat...let me assure you that the Intelligence Community
has designed a robust counterterrorism program that has
pre-empted, disrupted, and defeated international terrorists
and their activities what we have in Afghanistan is a stark
example of the potential dangers of allowing states-even
those far from the U.S.-to fail..."
http://web.archive.org/web/20010425002133/http://www.usis-australia.gov/hyper/2001/0207/epf304.htm Many
papers show what is going on in the White House right now
and try to explain the information between the
lines: "Members of the congressional committees
investigating the pre-Sept. 11 warnings said ... that there
is far more damaging information that has not yet been
disclosed about the government's knowledge of and inaction
over events leading up to Sept. 11." NBC too wrote about
this war plan: "The plan dealt with all aspects of a war
against al-Qaida, ranging from diplomatic initiatives to
military operations in Afghanistan." The question that
arises out of this is very simple: If the U.S. government
had information, even of a general nature, before September
11 about al-Qaeda plans for an attack in the U.S., why
didn't they reveal what they knew? Doesn't this show that
actual evidence is irrelevant to the U.S. government, that
their war actions are based not on justice, as they claim,
but on the predatory aims and interests of their global
empire? Interestingly James Woolsey, former CIA director
and friend of George Tenet asked about the attack on
September 11th, pointed his finger at "state sponsorship,"
implying the complicity of one or more foreign
governments. Can we now analyse this as yet another
freudian slip? Who is really the "state" behind the
attack? How much did George Tenet know? Congressman Ike
Skelton (CFR), a Democrat from Missouri and a member of the
Armed Services Committee, claimed that Tenet warned before
Sep11th, that there could be an attack, an imminent attack,
on the United States of this nature. Skeltons statements
can be heard at
http://www.thememoryhole.org/tenet-911.htm Tenet
received at least 8-10 warnings from foreign intelligence
services about an attack and hasn’t even denied this. What
exactly was the reason for a nightly meeting and a breakfast
with his former mentor, David A. Boren (ex-CIA director)
between September 10th and September 11th? The pair met in
St. Regis Hotel, three blocks from the White House and had a
"leisurely breakfast" together on the morning of 9/11, when
Tenet received the phone call about the attack. "Their
omelettes had just arrived when Tenet's security detail
descended with a cell phone" Interestingly
Boren said in an interview with PBS, that both haven't been
surprised of the attack: "The former head of the U.S.
Senate Intelligence Committee said Monday he and CIA
Director George Tenet were not ‘totally shocked’”
Boren
already had Bin Laden and Iraq on the same afternoon "on the
suspect list". David L. Boren currently serves as the
thirteenth President of the University of Oklahoma. He
served as Governor of Oklahoma from 1975-1979, was Senator
from Oklahoma (1979-1994) and is the longest-serving
chairman of the Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence Moussaoui
spent several months in Boren's own community of Norman,
Oklahoma (a few miles away from Oklahoma City), where he had
attended the Airman Flight School for three months in the
spring of 2001. Another interesting coincidence, or did
someone not do his homework? One might ask, why choose a
city with the omni presence of a CIA-VIP? Boren had named
Tenet to be chief of staff for the Intelligence Committee in
1987, when Tenet was 34. Further, it is known that when the
younger President Bush was entering office, Boren called him
and urged that Tenet remain as CIA director. Tenet
obviously did his homework. Actually the CIA traced
officially at least three of the 19 hijackers before Sept
11th. In January 2001 the CIA suspected Ziad Jarrah had
been in Afghanistan and wanted him questioned because of
"his suspected involvement in terrorist
activities". The
CIA probably also knew some of the 10-15 hijackers who got
their visas from the CIA consulate in Jeddah. At least
Nawaf Alhazmi and Khalid Almihdhar have been confirmed as
being on the CIA watch list. And the war plans by the
Pentagon against the Taliban had been supported by the CIA
as well: In April 2001 the CIA received a warning by
former Northern Alliance Commander Ahmed Shah Massoud. On
April 5, 2001 he had a message for Bush at the European
Parliament in Strasbourg, France: A
few weeks later, some unknown CIA officers travelled into
northern Afghanistan and gave Massoud cash and supplies in
small amounts in exchange for intelligence on al Qaeda. At
basically the same time, as just revealed, also Republican
Congressman Dana Rohrabacher "conducted secret and illegal
negotiations with the Taliban while on a trip paid for by
Islamic and Egyptian support organizations", charged his
Democratic challenger, Gerrie Schipske. “Rohrabacher
traveled to the United Arab Emirate of Qatar and conducted
secret, unauthorized negotiations with Osama bin Laden’s
protégé - Taliban Foreign Minister Walid Ahmad Mutawakel in
April 2001,” said Schipske. The Arab news media reports
that Rohrabacher pressured the Government of Qatar to set up
a private meeting between him and the Taliban’s Foreign
Minister. “Rohrabacher met with Mutawakel and gave him a
document that outlined his own ‘personal peace plan’ and
told Mutawakel to take it back to the Taliban,” Schipske
explains. “It is simply outrageous that this rogue
Congressman engaged in negotiations with the Taliban. He
needs to explain why he tried to cut a deal on his own and
what he promised the Taliban during the meeting.” Schipske
urged Rohrabacher to release whatever documents he handed to
the Taliban leader. Rohrabacher’s secret dealings came to
light after his 2001 Financial Disclosure was released in
late July 2002 showing a trip to Qatar paid for by both the
Egypt International Forum and the Islamic
Institute Rohrabacher and George Tenet have known each
other for years. They both worked in 1998 together on a
satellite controversy with the Intelligence
Committee. Rohrabacher
is also member of the Afghanistan - America Foundation, a
non-profit, non-partisan, independent organization located
in Washington, D.C., a few blocks from the U.S. Capitol
building. This Foundation is honored to have as its
National Honorary Co-Chairmen two former White House
National Security Advisors, Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski and Gen.
Brent Scowcroft. Also closely advising and working with
the Foundation are Dr. Zalmay Khalilzad, RAND Corp.; Dr. Tom
Gouttierre, Director of the Center for Afghanistan Studies,
University of Nebraska, Omaha, and Vice-President of the
Afghanistan - America Foundation. Dr. Frederick Starr,
former President of Oberlin College and now Chairman of the
Central Asia-Caucasus Institute at the School for Advanced
International Studies (SAIS) of Johns Hopkins University;
and Dr. Barnett Rubin, Council on Foreign Relations, serve
on the Foundation's White Paper Task Force. But back to
Tenet. Through June and July 2001, as the Washington Post
described, CIA Director George J. Tenet worked himself
"nearly frantic" with concern. "At Langley, Tenet was
nearly ready. His proposed assistance to the Northern
Alliance rebels ranged from $125 million to $200 million and
included money, battlefield intelligence, nonlethal
equipment such as body armor and winter
clothing." Did
George Tenet let the attack happen on
purpose? The story about the ISI is a never ending
one. Fact is, that the ISI founded the Taliban with help of
the CIA. This is no secret, even US Military cheerleader
Janes Defense Weekly confirms that "half of Taliban manpower
and equipment originate(d) in Pakistan under the ISI" It
is therefore a big mystery, that the ISI, with all their
insider information, was the only secret service that didn't
warn about an attack on America in the lead up to
911. Among those who provided warnings were the UK,
Germany, Italy, Jordan, Egypt, France, Israel, Russia,
Morrocco etc.. But even more disturbing, is that the visit
of General Mahmood in Washington between September 4th and
15th, 2001 is so resolutely ignored in the history books in
Washington. It has also emerged, that even questions about
this visit have been altered in official White House
transcripts. In the course of Condoleezza Rice's May 16
press conference (which took place barely a few hours after
the publication of the "Bush Knew" headlines in The New York
Post), an accredited Indian journalist asked a question on
the role of General Mahmoud Ahmad: Although there is no official
confirmation, in all likelihood General Mahmoud Ahmad also
met Dr. Rice during the course of his official visit. The
word "ISI Chief" was later erased from the transcript and
replaced with "inaudible". Conclusion: This event didn't
“officially” happen in Washington, but there are various
reports about it. Here is one from September 9th, 2001, 2
days before the attack: "...ISI Chief Lt-Gen Mahmood's
week-long presence in Washington has triggered speculation
about the agenda of his mysterious meetings at the Pentagon
and National Security Council. Officially, State Department
sources say he is on a routine visit in return to CIA
Director George Tenet's earlier visit to Islamabad. Official
sources confirm that he met Tenet this week. He also held
long parleys with unspecified officials at the White House
and the Pentagon. But the most important meeting was with
Mark Grossman, US Under Secretary of State for Political
Affairs. US sources would not furnish any details beyond
saying that the two discussed 'matters of mutual interests.'
What those matters could be is a matter of pure
conjecture. One can safely guess that the discussions must
have centred around Afghanistan, relations with India and
China, disarmament of civilian outfits, country's nuclear
and missiles programme and, of course, Osama Bin
Laden..." Why
haven’t these meetings made the national news yet? What
did the General discuss with George Tenet before Sept 11th,
and what was the purpose of two meetings with Richard
Armitage? On the morning of Sept 11th he met Senate Joint
Intelligence Co-Chairman Bob Graham (D-FL) and his House
Intelligence Co-Chairman and former CIA operative Porter
Goss (R-FL),who both had prior knowledge about an attack,
"with planes", since August 6th, as they both confirmed to
the Washington Post. He later met, after September 11th,
with Senator Joseph Biden, chairman of the powerful
Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate. What did General Mahmood know about a possible
attack? He must have known a lot. As Richard Clarke
already knew in July 2001, the ambassador of Pakistan met
suddenly with the ambassador of the Taliban in Karachi to
discuss the rumours about warnings of a possible Al-Quaeda
attack on America. But more disturbing, as Times of India
wrote various times, Mahmood later sought retirement after
the U.S. attacks - confirmed by top sources in India,
because of evidence produced by India showing his links to
Mohammed Atta, the terrorist hijacking leader. The Times
said that, "U.S. authorities sought his removal after
confirming the fact that $100,000 was wired to WTC hijacker
Mohammed Atta from Pakistan by Ahmad Umar Sheikh on the
instructions of ISI Lt. General Ahmad." If
you carefully analyse the timeline from the final days
before the Sept 11th attack, it looks, like the CIA and ISI
hadn't been the only ones, who knew that something would
happen: September 7th, 2001 Jeb Bush upgraded
Martial Law in Florida. September 9th,
2001 Commander Ahmad Shah Massoud is killed on
September 9, just two days before the attacks on New York
and Washington. Insider rumours point this murder on the
Northern Alliance, other say it was the Pakistan Secret
Service ISI. September 9th, 2001 Al Qaeda 'Game
Plan' on Bush's Desk Sept. 9 - NBC "...Only two days before
the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington, President
Bush was given a ''detailed war plan'' to dismantle Osama
bin Laden's al Qaeda network, NBC News
reported..."
September 10th, 2001 On Sept. 10, NEWSWEEK has
learned, a group of top Pentagon officials suddenly
cancelled travel plans for the next morning, apparently
because of security concerns...." In these hours Mahmoud was already one week in
Washington. It seems more than obvious, that he was updated
about all these events. So how much did Mahmoud know?
Why did noone ever ask him about the ISI wires of
$100.000 to the official "ringleader" of the Sept 11th
attack, Mohammad Atta? After this came out in Pakistan
media, Mahmoud had to resign. On the same day the War
against the Taliban started. Why are all these questions
not being asked in public? Who has an interest to keep
Pakistan;s picture clean? Why is his former boss,
President Musharraf not convinced, that Bin laden was the
mastermind behind Sept 11th? How much does Pakistan know? Did Mahmoud let the attack
happen on purpose? Events related to Tommy
Thompson and the coordination between the NIH and CDC give
rise to a huge mountain of questions. It's still a
mystery, for example, why Tommy Thompson decided to hire
Jerome Hauer, former Office of Emergency Center on September
10th (or maybe some days earlier) and then decided to
distribute CIPRO for the White House on the evening of
September 11th. And why is this info widely ignored in the
public? Did Thompson had some prior knowledge about the anthrax
attack? And what about Hauer? Did he know, that his
former office in building No. 7 would have been destroyed on
September 11th? Thompson also already okayed, in early
October, a long time before the first attack was known, a
sudden cooperation with BioPharmacy companies. The German
edition of financial times already criticised in the same
month, that the US Government works together with
BioPharmacy companies who have had a bad reputation for
years. BIOPORT
had problems with the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in
early 1998, when they were criticised over the quality of
their vaccines. Now they have their license back. Bioport
was founded by William Crowe and Fuad El-Hibri (ex-Porton
Down), which is still on the suspect list of the FAS. Then
we have Dynport, a subsidiary of DynCorp (and partner of
Porton Down UK),who got a contract in 2001 to develop a new
vaccine against anthrax. Also on the list of new
contractors to the US Government is Acambis (former Oravax
since 1993), which was founded by Thomas Monath, who is also
a good friend of Jerome Hauer and another anthrax suspect
Stephen Hatfill (former USAMRIID and former Battelle). In
the meantime Hauer replaced Donald Henderson (Johns Hopkins
Institute) as the Director of the Office of Public Health
Preparedness (OPHP), a division of the NIH. Thompson
created the OPHP last October to develop and coordinate
HHS's bioterrorism preparedness efforts. Hauer is a
graduate of the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health in
Baltimore and was a student of Henderson's when Henderson
was Dean there. Hauer called Henderson his, "longtime
friend and mentor," according to the HHS
release. Henderson led the World Health Organization's
successful campaign to eradicate smallpox in the 1970s. He
is the founder of the Johns Hopkins Center for Civilian
Biodefense Strategies and was its director before he took
the OPHP position. Thompson was well known for Wisconsin
Works, or "W-2," the state's landmark welfare-to-work
legislation, which served as a national model for welfare
reform. As Governor, Thompson also created FamilyCare,
designed to help elderly and disabled citizens, and allow
them to receive care in their homes for as long as
possible. Thompson seems to have either a huge intuition,
or advance knowledge about a possible anthrax
attack. Though the NIH profited from a new BioDefense
budget, they are not the only ones to benefit from the
emergence of bio-terror on the US mainland. Cepheid, FDA,
Hadron, Intellitec, Ion Beam Applications, Motorola Life
Sciences, U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious
Diseases (USAMRIID), U.S. Public Health Service, Versar and
DynPort all got new budgets too. Thompson was also a
supporter of a project called HomelandHealth.com. The U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) had basically
joined with the pharmaceutical industry to develop defenses
against biological threats. But this project was already
started by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of
America (PhRMA) on October 30th, 2001, while the
investigation on the anthrax attack was still going
on. America’s
pharmaceutical companies ( http://www.newmedicines.org/
)joined together to develop this site, with the
advice and support of the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services. HomelandHealth.com is backed by Dr.
Michael Friedman, former Head of FDA and Veteran of The
Public Health Service and also on the board of Pharmacia
Upjohn (formerly Monsanto) Corporation, which was bought by
Pfizer in July 2001. Also on the board of pharmacia is also
Frank Carlucci of the Carlyle Group, a former Deputy
Director of the CIA. Investigative journalist Jim Rarey
found out that Friedman was also the FDA official who gave
the Department of Defense the go ahead to use the anthrax
vaccine in the Gulf war, even though the FDA had not found
it to be safe or effective against inhalation
anthrax. "...The current Chairman of the Board and CEO of
Pharmacia is a Pakistani named Fred Hassan. Hassan was
President of Pharmacia-Upjohn at the time of the merger with
Monsanto. Dr. Philip Leder, although a virtual unknown
outside of medical circles, has impressive credentials. He
is Chairman of the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical
School and a Senior Investigator for the Howard Hughes
Medical Institute (HHMI). He was a contemporary of Dr. Don
C. Wiley at Harvard..." Wiley later vanished under
strange circumstances. Officially the FBI version of events
has now changed from suicide to accident. Did Wiley know
something about the shady business deals or even, who was
behind the anthrax attack? How much did Thompson
know? Did Thompson let this attack happen on
purpose? "There is a
chance for the President of the United States to use this
disaster to carry out what his father - a phrase his father
used I think only once, and it hasn’t been used since - and
that is a new world order," CFR member Senator Gary Hart,
September 11th It's time to demistify the CFR and focus
strongly on their influence on the current US Government.
It's obvious that with all their connections to the
Pentagon, CIA, many intelligence panels and even the media,
they must have heard about all these warnings during 2001
and they also knew about the war plans against the Taliban
at the same time. We know for example, that CFR members
Gary Hart and George Shultz received a warning about an
attack a few days before Sept 11th. Coincidence? The CFR
had at least a lot of prior knowledge and needed a reason to
start a war against Iraq. Afghanistan was therefore
helpful as a warm-up. The CFR supported the election
campaign of George Bush and gave proposals for the team
around Bush. It's interesting how their background later
was helpful for the schedule in Afghanistan. But already
in 1998 the CFR helped to establish another think tank,
called ANSER (
http://www.anser.org) This organisation
already established the Homeland Security plan and included
almost 30 members with a hugely experienced scientific and
military background. Former NY Times columnist Leslie
Gelb, who was an official in the State and Defense
departments, is leading the CFR. The history of the CFR is
already controversial. Some CFR critics say the Korean
War, the Vietnam War, and even the civil rights movement
were all arranged and approved of by the CFR. Each event
has been played out as a kind of exercise in mass reverse
psychology. The more societal unrest there is, the more
people will turn to government for control, eventually
becoming so desperate for order that they will grant their
government more and more power over every citizen's private
life. The CFR also helped set up the GATT and NAFTA and
was and is pushing for the Mulitilateral Agreement of
Investments (MIA). CFR members Joseph S. Nye and Gary Hart
were two of the first people after the attack to offer
suggestions for the new Office of Homeland Defense. Only
three days after the attack, the CFR convened a meeting in
Washington organized around the U.S. Commission on National
Security in the 21st Century. The Commission, which was a
joint creation of former President Bill Clinton (CFR) and
House Speaker Newt Gingrich (CFR), was co-chaired by former
senators Gary Hart (CFR) and Warren Rudman (CFR). How big
is the influence of the CFR on the US Admininstration?
What's the role of CFR MEMBER Dr. John Hamre, President &
CEO since 2000 and formerly Deputy Secretary of
Defense? How big is the influence of other
CFR-represantatives like David Rockefeller (Honorary
Chairman), Vanessa Pokorny (Research Associate, Terrorism
Task Force), Theodore C. Sorensen, George Soros, Richard C.
Holbrooke or Peter G. Peterson (Chairmen of the Board)?
What exactly did CFR member James J. Zogby know about a
possible attack? Zogby
is also President of the American Arab institute, which is
sponsored by the White House. At the American Arab
Institute works also Khaled Elgindy (US Commission in
International Religious Freedom), whose brother Amr Ibrahim
Elgindy is the main suspect in the 911-insider trading plot,
another connection which is totally ignored by the National
Media. Elgindy worked together with ex-FBI agents Jeffrey
A. Royer and Lynn Wingate, who obviously had advanced
knowledge about the attack on America. The indictment is
at:
http://news.findlaw.com/hdocs/docs/fbi/uselgindy502ind.pdf Another
of the suspects is Derrick M Cleveland, who short sold some
stock of Nuclear Solutions Inc. after the attack. Nuclear
Solutions merged this year with RTS. On Feb 28, 2002 the
company entered into a support contract with Los Alamos
National Laboratory to support the company's development of
photonuclear transmutation technologies. And why is the
whole 911-insider trading story so downplayed in the media
when an indictment exists? How much did the CFR
know? And did they let the attack happen on purpose?
ANSER
(
http://www.anser.org) is a military-scientific
thinktank, which founded the Homeland Security movement - in
1999! Officially ANSER describes itself as a
public-service research institute, an independent,
not-for-profit corporation chartered in California with the
assistance of the RAND Corporation in 1958. This
organisation, with their main base close to the Pentagon,
was founded to help them respond on a day-to-day basis to
identified needs for unbiased studies and analyses. If
this is indeed a day-to-day basis, then ANSER must have
known about all warnings about an attack and the advice to
the Pentagon of Sept 10th, that their employees should not
take a plane the following day. ANSER has its home office
in Arlington, VA and other offices in Colorado Springs, CO;
Newport News, VA; Stoneham, MA; and Fairmont, WV. Current
President and Chief Executive Officer of ANSER is Dr. Ruth
David. In November 1999, she initiated ANSER's Homeland
Defense Strategic Thrust. From September 1995 to September
1998, Dr. David was Deputy Director for Science and
Technology at the CIA. She also served in several
leadership positions at the Sandia National Laboratories,
where she began her professional career. Sandia is one of
the institutes, which is working on new thermo-nuclear or
microwave weapons. From 1991 to 1994, Dr. David was
Director of the Development Testing Center that developed
and operated a broad spectrum of full-scale engineering test
facilities. Dr. David is a former adjunct professor at the
University of New Mexico and has technical experience in
digital and microprocessor-based system design, digital
signal analysis, adaptive signal analysis, and system
integration. In June 2001 ANSER sponsored a BioTerror
Scenario called DARK WINTER, which also included role
playing. Participants included Jerome Hauer (ex-OEM New
York), James Woolsey (ex-CIA director) and many
more. The
question is, how strong was the influence and insider
knowledge during the weeks before September 11th? Who
exactly in ANSER had prior knowledge about a possible
terrorist attack "with planes"? Why wasn't the public
informed about DARK WINTER (and various other
TerrorScenarios between 2000 and 2001? What exactly was
the idea for a Homeland Security office in 1999? What did
ANSER do to prevent the attack? What's General Monroe
Hatch’s role at ANSER? General
Hatch has held numerous positions on the staffs at
Headquarters Strategic Air Command (SAC), Offutt Air Force
Base; at Headquarters U.S. Air Force, Washington, DC; and in
the Office of the Secretary of Defense What did he do on
September 11th? Was he at Offutt at the party of Buffett
as well, together with one of the CEOs of the Twin Towers?
Why did a fighter of Warren Buffett’s follow Flight 93 in
time? What
is Miriam E.John doing for ANSER? She's also Vice
President of Sandia’s California Division. At
least 3 ANSER executives worked for the CIA or still have
ties to the CIA or Pentagon. For example H.B. Zachry,who
also held several positions leading to his appointment as
Manager of the Command and Service Module in the Apollo
Spacecraft Program Office. Or Dr. Mignogna: He
has served on high-level Air Force and DOD study efforts
such as the Strategic Bomber Penetration Assessment Group
and the Strategic Penetration Technology. He is an Adjunct
Professor of Statistics at the American University and a
member of the AIAA Weapon Systems Effectiveness Technical
Committee. Or Dr. John Gannon, who worked at ANSERs
Homeland Security: He served as Chairman of the National Intelligence
Council (1997-2001) after serving for two years (1995-1997)
as the Deputy Director for Intelligence, CIA. Mr. Gannon
earned a Ph.D. and an M.A. in history from Washington
University in Saint Louis and a B.A. in psychology from Holy
Cross College in 1966. How many people of ANSER had prior
knowledge about the Sep11th attack and what did they know
about the anthrax attack? Did they let the attacks happen
on purpose? The story of a change
of paradigm and new successful era for the DoD can be told
in different ways. One version of a somewhat longer story
starts with Jay C. Davis. Davis was already working on the
Office of Homeland Security from 1999 (created by anser.org
!). Davis is also still a National Security Fellow at the
Center for Global Security Research at Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratory. This is the laboratory, where he
developed a weapon system, which was later made famous in
Tora Bora, Afghanistan: thermobarics. For the three years
prior to rejoining Livermore in July of 2001, he served as
the founding Director of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency
of the United States Department of Defense, where he started
to develop these weapons. Dr. Davis received his BA in
Physics from the University of Texas in 1963, his MA in
Physics from the University of Texas in 1964, and his Ph.D.
in Physics from the University of Wisconsin in 1969. From
1969 to 1971, he was an Atomic Energy Commission
Postdoctoral Fellow in nuclear physics at the University of
Wisconsin. At Livermore since 1971, he has worked as a
research scientist and as an engineering manager, having led
the design and construction of several unique accelerator
facilities used for basic and applied research. In the
1970's, he was principal scientist and project manager for
the design and construction of the Rotating Target Neutron
Source-II Project, building the most intense 14 MeV neutron
sources in existence, used for nine years by the US and
Japan for fusion materials testing. In the 1980's he
became the founding Director the Center for Accelerator Mass
Spectrometry, building the most versatile and productive AMS
lab in the world. CAMS is used by all nine campuses of
the University of California and several hundred
international users. He played a major role in the
application of AMS to the biosciences, particularly in
low-level toxicology and in dose reconstruction from events
such as Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Chernobyl. In 1994, he
was asked to merge several research organizations at
Livermore to create the Earth and Environmental Sciences
Directorate. In 1998, he became the first Director of the
Defense Threat Reduction Agency, integrating DoD's technical
and operational activities to deal with Weapons of Mass
Destruction (WMDs). Davis has numerous publications on
research in nuclear physics, nuclear instrumentation, plasma
physics, accelerator design and technology, nuclear
analytical techniques and analytical methods, and treaty
verification technologies. He holds patents on spectrometer
technologies and methods for low-level dosimetry of
carcinogens and mutagens, and for the study of metabolic
processes. He has been a scientific advisor to the UN
Secretariat, several US agencies, and has served on advisory
committees for the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory,
the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization,
and the Institute for Nuclear and Geologic Sciences of New
Zealand. Davis also participated in two UN inspections of
Iraq in the summer of 1991, and was selected as the only
non-UN member of the team that briefed the UN Security
Council after the confrontation at Fallujah on June 28, 1991
that produced the conclusive evidence of Iraqi evasion of
the inspection process and violation of the
Non-Proliferation Treaty. Davis was Phi Beta Kappa and a
Junior Fellow of the College of Arts and Sciences at Texas.
He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and was one
of its Centennial Lecturers in its Hundredth Anniversary
Year. For his contributions to national security during his
tenure at DTRA, he was twice awarded the Distinguished
Public Service Medal, DoD's highest civilian award. His
current interests are homeland defense, nuclear and
biological forensics, applications of accelerator
technologies to multi-disciplinary research, and strategic
planning and management of change in organizations. Davis
is also on advisory bodies for the CIA and the National
Nuclear Security Administration. He has served as a
visiting professor at Texas A&M (chemistry) and Angelo State
University (Government). He is on the Board of Directors of
the Fannie and John Hertz Foundation. Jay C. Davis worked
on future weapons. At the Center for Accelerator Mass
Spectrometry (CAMS) at LLNL he developed a wide range of
isotopic and ion-beam analytical tools for use in basic
research and technology development. Their research on
Tokamak Plasma Spectroscopy at LLNL (
http://www-phys.llnl.gov/Research/Tokamak/)
helped to develop the thermobarics, whic are able to destroy
buried bio-and chemical weapon stocks. Basically these
weapons work with a device which uses electric or magnetic
fields to increase the speed (and thus the energy) of
charged particles. In magnetic fusion, neutral beam
heating is used on present tokamaks to heat the plasma to
fusion-relevant temperatures
http://fusioned.gat.com/Fusion%20Glossary.htm The
third generation tokamak was developed a while ago by
General Atomics in San Diego, California, the largest
operational tokamak in the United States. In the
International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER)
they worked on a test reactor based on the tokamak
concept. One method of producing nuclear fusion by
compressing a pellet of fuel using a laser, particle beam,
or other external driver. If the compression produces a
high enough density rapidly enough while heating the fuel to
a sufficiently high temperature, economically attractive
amounts of fusion energy can be produced. The resulting
confinement is called “inertial” because it depends on the
inertia of the fuel itself to maintain the high densities
and temperatures to burn the fuel before it rebounds and
flies apart. Another method is containing a plasma or
charged particles in a finite region using magnetic fields.
This is called magnetic confinement. Basically the concept
of beam weapons is very old. In the 50s the Russian
scientists Sakharov and Tamm proposed an idea for a
controlled thermonuclear fusion reactor, the TOKAMAK
(abbreviated from the Russian phrase for Toroidal Chamber
with Magnetic Coil). In the 90s the strategic Defense
System Phase II ground-Based Laser (GBL) System Concept
described "techniques of beam handling and emittance control
for high current beams in advanced
accelerators" During
the 90s various laboratories worked on different concepts.
In the scientific archives you can find "Laser Plasma
Interactions" (Livermore National Laboratory, 95),
"Megawatt-Class Free Electron Laser Concept for Shipboard
Self-Defense" (97). In 1994 the Defense Technology Plan
worked on 19 (!) different areas to use this technology for
battlespace environments or electronic warfare and directed
energy weapons. In the same year Wright/Patterson in
Dayton, Ohio started to develop directed-energy weapons
which can be divided into three branches, namely: (1)
laser weapons, which can destroy or destabilize targets by
using electromagnetic radiation energy beams with a
wavelength of less than 1 millimeter; (2) radio-frequency
weapons, which can destroy or destabilize targets with
radiated electromagnetic energy within the radio spectrum
range (the wavelength is more than 1 millimeter and radio
frequency less than 300 gigahertz); (3) particle beam
weapons, which are capable of destroying or destabilizing
targets with neutral high-energy atomic particle beams
(usually hydrogen, deuterium and tritium) or charged
high-energy atomic or subatomic particle beams. In 1995
the USAF Scientific Advisory Board proclaimed that "directed
energy weapons, both lasers and microwaves, will have
widespread application over the next few
decades" Thermobarics are part of the microwave
weapons. Another definition can be find at "...The
Thermobaric Demonstration will develop a weapon concept that
is based on a new class of thermobarics. Thermobarics
include a broad range of high-energy density materials that
are capable of producing high temperatures ("thermo") and
high pressures (“barics”) for extended periods of time.
This technology develops the potential for producing
sustained, distributed damage in hard targets. The weapon
could be used against certain type of tunnel targets for a
maximum functional kill of the tunnels. Prototype weapons
will be tested under operational conditions for their
performance, and leave-behinds will be delivered to the
customer... Seven programs are currently planned: the
Second Counterproliferation (CP2) Counterforce ACTD, the
Agent Denial Demonstration (a proposed ACTD), the Biological
Characterization Testbed, a classified program, the Hard
Target Defeat (HTD) C3I Demonstration, the Thermobaric
Demonstration (a proposed ACTD), and the CP Analysis and
Planning System (CAPS). Again, the USAF had no chance to
use some of them, until 2001! Thanks to the Washington
Post, only 8 days after the attack on America, Ronald M.
Sega, who directs research and engineering at the Pentagon,
called a dozen defense technology officials together to work
on a schedule in Afghanistan. Then,
during a couple of weeks dozens of government scientists and
engineers at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA)
"finished" their work of years and okayed the official first
use of thermobarics in Afghanistan. Sega was nominated for
the staff of Bush only a few weeks before the Sept 11th
attack, on June 7, 2001 He was already appointed on August
3, 2001 and started to refine his skills. Sega
was the perfect man for thermobarics. He's a former
astronaut, who had a master of science degree in
Physics. From 1979 to 1982 he was on the faculty of the
U.S. Air Force Academy in the Department of Physics where he
designed and constructed a laboratory facility to
investigate microwave fields using infrared techniques while
pursuing a doctorate in Electrical Engineering. Dr. Sega
has logged over 420 hours in space. He left NASA on July
1, 1996 to become Dean of the College of Engineering and
Applied Science, University of Colorado at Colorado
Springs. On the same day, when Sega was nominated for the US
government, John Paul Stenbit was nominated for the
Department of Defense, too. Confirmed by the Senate on
August 3rd, 2001, he also is a supporter of airspace and
microwave weapons. Already
from 1973-77, he served in the Department of Defense for
four years, two of which were spent as principal deputy
director of telecommunications and command and control
systems. In 1968, Mr. Stenbit joined TRW and was
responsible for the planning and analysis of advanced
satellite surveillance systems. He retired as an executive
vice president of TRW on 1 May 2001. TRW, led by Phillip
A. Odeen as executive vice president and general manager,
just merged in June 2001 with Northrop Grumman, a principal
member of the Lockheed Martin JSF team. Stenbit also
served as chairman of the Science and Technology Advisory
Panel to the director of the CIA and was a member of the
Science Advisory Group to the directors of Naval
Intelligence and the Defense Communications Agency. A
perfect combination for future weapons, pushed by the "Big
4": Sandia National Laboratories (Missiles and Fire
Control/Dallas, TX , Orlando/FL) , Boeing, Raytheon and
TRW. These four corporations, which have been receiving 60
percent of government missile defense contract basically
control this country and profited from the attack. "Our
government is being bribed by these corporations pushing for
Star Wars" - Alice Slater, president of the New York-based
Global Resource Action Center for the Environment (GRACE).
Just days before Rumsfeld was named Pentagon chief, the
Space Commission issued a report championing Star
Wars. The Bush administration is intimately linked with
the corporate interests behind the missile defense program.
Vice President Cheney is a former member of the board of
TRW. His wife, Lynn Cheney, was a longtime member of the
Lockheed Martin board, stepping down only as her husband
prepared to take office. Bush's appointee as deputy
director of the National Security Council -- whom he has
also assigned to travel the world to promote the U.S.
missile defense program - is Stephen J. Hadley, previously a
partner in Shea & Gardner, the Washington law firm of
Lockheed Martin. Another Partner of Shea &Gardner is
James Woolsey, ex CIA director. They all had been former
supporters of the Strategic Defence Initiative (SDI)
program, aka Reagan’s Star Wars. Other Bush administration
officials drawn from the aerospace industry include Albert
Smith, a Lockheed Martin vice president, appointed
undersecretary of the Air Force; Gordon England, vice
president of General Dynamics, named Navy secretary; and
James G. Roche, retired president of a Northrop-Grumman
division, appointed as Air Force secretary. The question
is, who of the real executives of the US Administration had
a special interest to let this attack happen to enable a war
"against terrorism"? And who else is working in the
Department of Defense and might have had some interest to
start finally the use of future weapons and the relaunch of
a SDI-program? Some information about the DoD
staff: Stephen A. Cambone, Thomas P. Christie, Jack Dyer
Crouch, Douglas Jay Feith, Diane K. Morales, Peter W.
Rodman, Joseph E. Schmitz and Michael W. Wynne. Stephen A. Cambone was Fellow in Political-Military
Studies at the Center for Strategic and International
Studies (CSIS) from 1993 to 1998 and a Staff Member in the
Office of the Director, Los Alamos National Laboratory from
1982 to 1986. Since July 2002 he is also director of the
Office of Program Analysis and Evaluation Thomas P.
Christie erved for nine years as director of the Operational
Evaluation Division (OED) at the Institute for Defense
Analyses (IDA), a federally funded research and development
center. Christie was responsible for independent analyses of
more than 200 major DoD test and evaluation programs.
Jack
Dyer Crouch, II was Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense
for International Security Policy from 1990 to 1992. From
1985 to 1986, he served at the U.S. Arms Control and
Disarmament Agency as an advisor for the U.S. Delegation to
the Nuclear and Space Arms Talks. Douglas
Jay Feith was Special Counsel to Assistant Secretary of
Defense Richard Perle 1982-1984. Feith is a member of the
Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Before Mr. Feith
transferred to the Pentagon from the National Security
Council at the White House, where he worked from 1981 to
1982 as a Middle East specialist. Like Paul Wolfowitz he is
a pro-Israel advisor and founded the law firm Feith and
Zell. Feith and Zell is part of FANDZ international law
group with main offices in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Washington,
D.C. and Moscow(
http://www.fandz.com/html/fandz.html). He is
also campaigning hard for a war against Iraq. Diane K.
Morales was the president of DMS, a management services firm
that focuses on defense and commercial logistics. She was
already Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Logistics and
Secretary of Defense for Logistics, 1990-93 and served in
this capacity during Operation Desert Storm Morales was
also vice president of the S.A.F.E. (Safeguarding America
For Everyone) Foundation, Inc. SAFE is a pro
cyber-warfare supporter including Congressman Curt Weldon,
former Steely Dan and Doobie Brothers guitarist Jeff Baxter,
who acted in an advisory capacity for Congressmen Curt
Weldon and Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), both members of the
House Science Committee, and has participated in numerous
war games for the Pentagon. Mr. Baxter was also invited to
serve on the Laser Advisory Board at Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratory and has lectured at the University of
Manitoba School of Political Science on the topic of
regional conflict and missile defense. Peter W. Rodman
served already During the Reagan and first Bush
administration. During the Nixon and Ford administration,
Mr. Rodman was a member of the NSC staff and Special
Assistant to Dr. Henry Kissinger (1969-1977). Mr. Rodman
was also a scholar at the Center for Strategic and
International Studies (CSIS) and at the Johns Hopkins
Foreign Policy Institute. Joseph
E Schmitz, Inspector General Department of Defense worked as
a partner at the law firm at PATTON BOGGS LLP. As we learn
from their website, they are specialised in Middle Eastern
governments "to recover assets removed by a former head of
state" Between
1995 and 2001, he served in senior leadership positions in
the Naval Reserve, culminating in service as the Deputy
Senior Inspector for the Naval Reserve Intelligence Program,
responsible for Command Inspections/Audits, Investigations,
and Intelligence Oversight of more than 4,000 Naval
Reservists nationwide. Finally
Michael W. Wynne. He retired as senior vice president from
General Dynamics, where his role was in international
development and strategy. He spent 23 years with General
Dynamics in various senior positions with aircraft (F-16),
main battle tanks (M1A2), and space launch vehicles (Atlas
and Centaur). Wynne also spent three years with Lockheed
Martin and became the general manager of the Space Launch
Systems segment. Wynne also served in the Air Force for
seven years In December 2001 the Pentagon confirmed, that
they dropped thermobarics on Tora Bora. The term
thermobaric is derived from the effects of temperature --
the Greek word for heat is "therme" -- and air pressure --
the Greek word for pressure is "baros" -- on the
target. The question is: When did they really make the
first tests? As Albuquerque News and Nuclear Watch of New
Mexico complained in mid Summer 2001, radioactivity had
increased next to nuclear air bases, which shows, that
something had already taken place before September
11th. The DoD was also working in WTC Building 7, but
no-one knows what for. What exactly did the DOD and CIA
work on in Building 7 in New York? What was the gas tank
for on the 23rd floor? Did the DoD work on a weapon system
in New York? Who exactly om the DoD had prior knowledge
about a possible terrorist attack on America? Did they let
the attack happen on
purpose? Many people on the
internet think, that the Carlyle Group is involved in a
plot of September 11th. This would be hard to prove,
though the Carlyle Group (with pole positions on TRW etc..)
had many ties to Saudi Arabia (where 15 of the 19 hijackers
got their visa, screened by a CIA consulate in Jeddah). But
maybe someone should just start by asking Frank Carlucci
some questions: For a start. When exactly was the
following meeting planned and why didn't the FBI show up at
this meeting to interrogate some bin Laden family
members? "The iron triangle"
of defense, government and industry. "...Present were
former secretary of defense Frank Carlucci, former secretary
of state James Baker III, and representatives of the bin
Laden family. This was not some underground presidential
bunker or Central Intelligence Agency interrogation room. It
was the Ritz-Carlton in Washington, D.C., the plush setting
for the annual investor conference of one of the most
powerful, well-connected, and secretive companies in the
world: the Carlyle Group. And since September 11, this
little-known company has become unexpectedly important..."
Rumour
has it, that the father of President Bush was at
Ritz-Carlton, too after he left the White House, where he
slept over. (NBC) United Defense, a subsidiary of the
Carlyle Group has become one of the most important
contractors of the "war against terrorism" since Sept 11th.
The Carlyle Group also received a BioDefense Budget in
late November 2001. Carlyle has counted George Soros
(CFR), Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz Alsaud of
Saudi Arabia, and Osama bin Laden's estranged family among
its high-profile clientele. The bin Laden family were
shareholders in Carlyle until shortly after 911. Yet the
connection between the Carlyle Group, the Bush family and
the bin Laden family is still downplayed in the media.
Why? How much advanced knowledge about an attack did
Carlucci have? Did he let the attack happen on
purpose? Abdullah Noman was working for the US Consulate in Jeddah
(Saudi Arabia), where he filed 10-15 visas for the
Sep11th-hijackers in the so called visa express program.
Noman was later arrested in a sting by the FBI in Las
Vegas in November 2001. Michael Springman, the former
chief of the visa section at the U.S. Consulate in Jeddah
already confirmed in various international interviews (incl.
Greg Palast/BBC), that Jeddah is a CIA connected consulate.
He protested about superiors who ordered him to issue visas
to unqualified applicants and later resigned from this
position.
http://www.straightgoods.ca/ViewMediaFile.cfm?
It looks now that the CIA okayed the visas for most of
the 911-hijackers and used employee Abdullah Noman to file
visas for: Abdulaziz Alomari, Banihammad Fayez, Ahmed
al-Ghamdi, Hamza al-Ghamdi, Saaed al-Ghamdi, Salem al-Hamzi,
Ahmed al-Haznawi, Majed Moqed, Ahmed al-Nami, Waled
al-Shehri, Wail al-Shehri, Mohald al-Shehri, and Satam
al-Suqami...." None of them was pilot of any of the four
Sept 11th-planes. Two more hijackers (which brings us to a
total of 15) may have received their visas from Jeddah as
well: "...Abdul Alomari, on Flight 11...listing his
address as Jeddah , Saudi Arabia, according to FAA
records... ...In December 2000, (Hani Hanjour) obtained a
visa from the American consulate in Jeddah and arrived in
the United States, according to US
officials...” Vince Cannistraro, former head of the CIA's
counter-terrorism office and deputy station chief in Jeddah
from the mid-to late-1970s, said that the Southwest was the
nexus of recruitment for the Saudi hijackers. Why Noman's
story didn't make more news play, is pretty unclear. It
could be the Saudi-Arabian connection, but also the
CIA-connection or both. Springman gave various interviews
and confirmed his statements also on a press conference in
the National Press Office in Washington, organised by
http://unansweredquestions.org "...I used to be in charge of the Visa Section at the
CIA's consulate at Jeddah, the principle city of the Hejahs
in Western Saudi Arabia. There, for a year and a half, I
issued visas to terrorists recruited by the CIA and its
asset, Osama Bin Laden. At the time I thought it was
basically visa fraud. Somebody was paying $2500 bribes to
State Department officials. I was ordered by these same high
State Department officials to issue the visas, to shut up,
to do my job and ask no questions... ...I asked a few
more questions and I said, "No. Visa denied. You haven't
proved to me that you're going to come to the United States,
accomplish your business and then return home." ....this went on for a year and a half. I had
people, not every day perhaps, but every week. And I
estimate as many as 100 people got visas through me getting
overruled on my analysis of their ability to go to the
United states and then return. ....And I protested this.
I protested to the Counsel for Consular Affairs in Riad. I
protested to the Bureau of Consular Affairs in
Washington
http://travel.state.gov/index.html . I
protested to the State Department's Inspector
General. I protested to the
State Department's Office of Diplomatic
Security. I talked about this to
the FBI, to the Justice Department's Office of Professional
Responsibility
http://www.usdoj.gov/opr/index.html , and I
went to a couple of Congressional Committees. And by and
large I was told, "Shut up. You don't know what you're
talking about. This is a difference of opinion. You don't
know what you're doing...." Some information
about some of the offices Springman contacted. The Office
of the Inspector General (OIG) is headed by Glenn A. Fine
since since August 2000 (
http://www.usdoj.gov/oig/). In testimony of
October 2001 he confirmed, that "Historically, the OIG has
played an important role in attempting to combat one aspect
of immigration fraud". He mentions the Visa Waiver progam
but ignored the Visa Express Program from Jeddah. In a
conclusion, he urged, "the INS and the FBI to ensure that
their databases share information, both with each other and
with other government agencies." The
same Glenn A Fine later also testified on the
INS-investigation of Mohamed Atta and Marwan Alshehhi, who
didn't get their visas from Jeddah. His only conclusion was
to support a new student tracking system called Student &
Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). The OIG work
strongly together with the Department of Justice under John
Ashcroft. Glenn Fine also reported on the FBI's handling of
documents related to Timothy McVeigh on request of Attorney
General John Ashcroft. In
another testimony of June 20th, 2001, Fine pointed out, that
the "Congress gave the Attorney General the authority to

explains the problems: "Under this Order, the OIG may
undertake investigations in the FBI and the DEA only when
the Attorney General or Deputy Attorney General specifically
authorizes us to do so in a particular case". Fine was
also invited to the 911 hearings in June 2002. The content
is classified. The
Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) also reports
directly to the Attorney General John Ashcroft (under
Clinton it was Janet Reno, who now tries to run for governor
of Florida). FOIA (Freedom of

finally stopped without explaining the deeper reasons.
The
first complaints can be find here (incl. criticism of State
Department Spokesman Richard Boucher): From
November 14th-17th, 2001 Abdullah Noman was a participant at
the International Association of Amusement Parks in Atlanta,
GA, organised by the U.S. Department of Commerce who work on
various trade shows held by Saudi Arabia in the United
States. We can assume that the FBI used this chance to
try to get in touch with Noman: He obviously worked the last few
years at these trade shows, another confirmation about 1998
you can find here: It looks as
if Noman was arrested before he was able to arrive in
Atlanta: November 30th, 2001 - "...he was arrested on Nov.
1, said Assistant U. S. Attorney Lee Vilker..” But
Las Vegas Review claims, it was on a Sunday, which was Nov
4th: "....The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports a U.S. Dept.
of Commerce employee Abdulla Noman was arrested Sunday in
Las Vegas, NV..." But they obviously wrote in another article
that Noman was "arrested Thursday in a Las Vegas Strip hotel
room" (=November 1st) There
are a couple of other articles about the arrestment of Noman
in Las Vegas, for instance freelance editor Michelle Malkin
mentioned it at: ABC
News wrote that "about 50 to 100 visas were improperly
issued by Noman from September 1996 until last November
(2001)". Noman said he got bribes worth thousands of dollars
for making it appear. Noman
is being held in a secluded cell at the Passaic County Jail
(New Jersey) after being attacked by inmates during his
confinement in Las Vegas. His attorney is Kim Otis of
Princeton, New Jersey. Nomans indictment is at: Noman
was obviously arrested with the help of FBI agent Henry
Falkowsky. About the FBI-"plot": According to the criminal
complaint against Noman, an informant allegedly paid Noman
12,000 riyals (about $3,100) for a visa in 1998. Agents in
Newark later recorded several phone calls between the two
that led to Noman's arrest in a Las Vegas hotel after he
allegedly accepted half-payment of $4,000 for a second visa,
the complaint said.
http://www.onlineathens.com/stories/110701/new_1107010071.shtml Tuesday,
November 6th 2001 - "...Assistant U.S. Attorney Howard
Zlotnick told U.S. Magistrate Robert Johnston that the FBI
has tape-recorded and videotaped evidence that the consulate
employee, Abdulla Noman, arranged the sale of visas to
people entering the United States from Saudi
Arabia..." Questions: Who bribed Abdullah Noman to file
these visas? Why didn't we see any copy on these visas in
the papers, issued by Noman? How did the FBI find out
about Noman and who told them the story from 1998? What
can FBI agent Henry Falkowski tell us about all this? In
case that the CIA knew about every immigrant from Jeddah,
how many of these illegal screened individuals did they
monitor and who? How many of the Sept 11th hijackers did
they monitor since they got issued a visa, and who were
they? How did the FBI find out where to find Abdullah
Noman and who exactly planned the arrest in Las Vegas? Why
did they decide to arrest him in Las Vegas? As the
indictment to arrest Noman started in Essex County, New
Jersey between October 27, 2001 and October 31, 2001. Why
did this happen in Jersey? Is there any connection to the
Anthrax attacks from Trenton, New Jersey?
http://news.findlaw.com/hdocs/docs/terrorism/usnomancc110201.pdf
In which 'strip' hotel Noman was arrested and on which
day (November 1st or 4th)? Is there any connection to
Mohammad Attas trip to Las Vegas from June 29 to July 1
(2001), according to a registration slip at the Econo Lodge,
an inexpensive motel on the Las Vegas Strip? And
what about the story about him in a "meeting" with Nawaq
Alhamzi and Hani Hanjour? Was this story true?
Or
was the Las Vegas connection based on misinformation? And
who leaked this information in the same week that Noman was
arrested? November 6th, 2001 - "...Since the first reports
that five terrorists visited Las Vegas earlier this year,
there has been speculation that the group was in the valley
to complete plans for the Sept. 11 East Coast attacks.
Abdulla Noman, 52, was moved on November 30th 2001 from
Nevada to New Jersey , ‘where the FBI recorded calls in
which he allegedly demanded $8,000 from an informant to
arrange a U.S. visa for a Saudi citizen’. Why
does Noman deny this story? Is he a scapegoat for someone
else? Why was Noman’s connection to Sept 11th later
downplayed again? Why did U.S. Assistant District Attorney
Natalie Collins decide in late November 2001, that the
investigation is still "ongoing"? (Reuters) Is Abdullah
Noman in any way connected with Brig. Noman (ISI), who
trained Kashmir terrorists or Tallha Hussain Noman who was
arrested in October 2001 in Karachi? What about a
connection to Faisal Khan alias Noman (Jaish-e-Mohammed),
who was arrested in March 2002? Why is this Faisal Khan aka Noman linked to the Savola
Group in Jeddah? "...The
Savola Group is a leading food processing and trading
company in Saudi Arabia focusing on edible oils and fats,
sugar, and food retailing. Interestingly Amr Abdullah
Dabbagh, an executive of the Savolah Group is a good friend
of George Herbert Walker Bush and Vice President of The
Wildlife Conservation Foundation of Tanzania which is
co-chaired by President George Bush senior and President
Valery Giscard D’Estaing.
http://www.counterpunch.org/pipermail/counterpunch-list/2002-January/017831.html Is
this another interest conflict, which is downplayed by the
media for any special reason? The
auditor of the Savolah Group is Arthur
Andersen. Once
again, is there any connection between the Consulate in
Jeddah, Abdullah Noman and Faisal Khan alias Noman from the
Savolah Group in the same city? The visa consulate-website
in Jeddah is located at Phone:
(966-2) 667-0080 "He also served as Deputy Chief of Mission in
Budapest and San Jose, Costa Rica. In Washington, he was the
Special Assistant for Secretaries of State Cyrus Vance,
Edmund Muskie and Al Haig, Director of the Regional Affairs
Office in the Near Eastern and East Asian Bureau, Senior
Political Advisor for Assistant Secretary for European
Affairs Richard Holbrooke re Bosnia, and President of the
36th Senior Seminar. Mr. Baltimore is a native New Yorker
with a B.S. in International Affairs from George Washington
University and a Juris Doctorate from Harvard Law
School...." The whole story of Abdullah Noman is still
untold on National TV, US Media and US Congress. How much prior knowledge did Noman have, since when and
did Abdullah Noman or any of his superiors let the attack
happen on purpose? (LIHOP)
Noone knows Philip A
Odeen yet, but he has one of the rare privileges to have a
safe government job until 2010. His ties to the Sept
11th-story have been revealed on the same day, when someone
on a public message board at TV Clubhouse wrote these
disturbing notes, even without mentioning Odeen’s
name: "....I heard earlier today they knew this was coming
... I have a brother who lives and works close to the
Wright/Patterson Air Force base in Dayton...The company he
works for said the officials at W/P advised them to send
home all employees... stating W/P was to be target number 6
and they have known this since last night..." After this
member was asked, what she was talking about, she explained:
"...they shut down a national company with 10,000 Dayton
employees for it.. I lived in Dayton for 10 years and I know
they had night-flights and missions but it was a rep from
W/P asking to shut down the company and giving them the
information not just someone off the streets..." Her
reaction seemed pretty credible, because she didn't imply
much, but maybe everyone should come to their own
conclusion. Here she reveals the name of this
company: "...I do know Reynolds and Reynolds pretty well I
worked there for 10 years and I know they wouldn’t close the
doors on hearsay... I haven’t brought it up until now when
just because I knew the reaction would be just exactly what
it is... that is why I waited until it was already brought
up here..." While this discussion member remained unknown,
her story about Reynolds & Reynolds and Wright/Patterson is
still untold in the public media. President of R&R is
Philip A. Odeen, who was at that time also CEO and President
of BDM International (Chairman of the Board is former
Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci/Carlyle). Odeen is still
Executive Vice President, Washington Operations of TRW,
which was bought by Northrop Grumman in July
2002. Northrop is in the meantime also well known for
their Global Hawk unmanned surveillance planes, which were
used in Afghanistan. TRW
mergered in 1998 with Lockheed Martin Corp to becoming the
nation's second-largest defense contractor. Reynolds &
Reynolds is one of the contractors of TRW. We can assume,
that Reynolds & Reynolds, after 11 months, will deny, that
they had prior knowledge on Sept 11th and there are no
eye-witnesses, who could confirm, that they send their
employees home? Nothing about this incident in the local
papers in Dayton, with one odd exception: Jet crash report
untrue "...Reports this evening that a military jet
crashed near the Veteran's Administration facility in
northwest Dayton are unfounded, according to two Dayton
Business Journals reporters at the scene..."
http://dayton.bcentral.com/dayton/stories/2001/09/10/daily20.html Who
is Reynolds & Reynolds? It looks, like they have indeed
ties to Wright/Patterson and are located only some miles
away. They are specialised in automotive software. Nothing
else spectacular happened in September 2001 besides the
fact, that they partnered with Chrome Systems Corp., an
Oregon-based provider of automotive data, configuration
technology and commerce solutions. Some weeks before Sept
11th Reynolds & Reynolds also sold its information solutions
group to the Carlyle Group of Washington, D.C and formed
http://www.relizon.com. While Carlyle is more
famous than Chrome, at least their partners are well known
as well: Conde Nast magazines, CondeNet or Siebel Systems,
the world’s leading provider of eBusiness application
software. In
December 2001, General Motors designated Reynolds &
Reynolds Co. as one of its preferred services marketing
vendors. R& R CEO Philip A. Odeen is also well known at
the CFR, who supported the National Security Council in the
70s, therefore he has many ties with the military
industry. Did a friend warn him on September 10th? As
Director of Program Analysis for the National Security
Council, Odeen provided staff support to Dr. Henry Kissinger
from 1971 to 1973 on a wide range of defense and foreign
policy issues including arms control, nuclear strategy and
military force structure issues. In 1995-96, he chaired
the Defense Science Board Privatization and Outsourcing Task
Force. He also
served as Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense in
Systems Analysis and worked closely with the Secretary of
Defense and other senior DOD leaders on defense planning and
programming issues. In February 1997, Odeen was named by
former Secretary of Defense William Cohen to chair the
National Defense Panel. At that time he was already
lobbied by Lockheed Martin and McDonnell Douglas, but
disturbingly also other members like Richard D. Hearney
Gen., USMC (McDonnell Douglas), David E. Jeremiah Adm., USN
(Technology Strategies), Robert M. Kimmitt Brig. Gen.
(Lehman Brothers, a large investment banking firm involved
with defense contractor financing, for example the merger of
Lockheed Martin and Loral in 1996) or Robert W. RisCassi
Gen, who was working for Lockheed Martin at the same time.
Did this panel already spin the ideology for the next
4-20 years? In December 1997, the NDP provided an
assesment of alternative force structures for the US
military through the year 2010 to the Secretary and the
Congress. Odeen is also director of the Washington Gas
Light Company. More about his bio can be learned
at: Past
Chairman, Board on Army Science and Technology, National
Research Council; New York Council on Foreign Relations;
Member, Board of Governors, Institute of European Studies;
Past Chairman, Professional Services Council; Panel Member,
DOE Nuclear Weapons Safety Study; Past Chairman, Board of
Directors, World Affairs Council, Washington,
D.C. Publications: "Thinking About Defense Spending" (with
Gregory Treverton), Critical Issues series by the New York
Council on Foreign Relations, 1989 On their website we
learn more about the credit profile of Odeen’s company
Reynolds & Reynolds. Odeen
wrote once in his Quadrennial Defense Review, which was
also supported by the Honorable Richard L. Armitage. He
shared also the same ideas about Joint 2020 as Henry H.
Shelton: Sincerely, More
interesting, we find also this information inanother section
of the Quadrennial Defense Review: "...The first National
Defense Panel under section 184 of title 10, United States
Code (as added by subsection (a)), shall be established in
2004..." What
kind of "transformation" is Odeen was talking about, and
what exactly is planned for 2004? In a Testimony from
January 28, 1998 Odeen mentions, "adversaries including
terrorists" : "...the future we face in 2020 will be very
different. A whole host of new challenges and opportunities
are emerging. While we may find ourselves facing enemies on
traditional battlegrounds, it is far more likely that we
will face very different adversaries and that our conflicts
will include locations in space, throughout our information
networks, in highly urbanized areas, within the undeveloped
and developing world and, perhaps even on our own soil. Our
adversaries will include not just the armed forces of
nations, but also international criminals and terrorist
groups..." Odeen seems to be a visionary. However he's
still unknown on National News. But the stories about air
bases on high alert on Sept 11th are famous. One story is
about the Defense Language Institute in Monterey. It was
said, that they had been on High Alert on September 10th as
well. While this hasn't been confirmed yet, 8 months later
Monterey's presidio officer Butler accused Bush of letting
the attack happen on purpose, and released a letter in his
local paper, which was also mirrored on BBC. Odeens'
National Defense Industrial Association conference is always
held in Monterey. Odeen, as chairman of the Defense
Science Board, which advises the Pentagon, had a lot of
influence over the last 4 years to decide in which direction
the Pentagon should think. TRW needed to sell new weapons,
and they are able now to do so. All the military think-tank
boards had their own purposes. One example: The
Nunn-Lugar-Domenici Domestic Preparedness Program was
designed to increase training of potential first responders
to WMD terrorist incidents within the United States. By the
end of 1998, 40 U.S. cities had received training, with
training ongoing in an additional 80. As part of this
program, each designated city receives $300,000 from DOD for
personal protection, decontamination, and detection
equipment. This information is taken from The Monterey
Institute of International Studies, Center for
Nonproliferation Studies, Chemical and Biological Weapons
Resource Page, "United States response to CBW terrorism and
domestic preparedness" How
much did Philip A. Odeen exactly know? How much prior
knowledge did he have? When did Northrop and TRW’s
negotiations begin over their merger? Did Philip A Odeen
let the attack happen on
purpose? How is Henry Kissinger connected to all this, for
example. He seems to appear everywhere. (Daily Telegraph,
Hollinger, CFR, Defense Policy Board,National Security
Council negotiations with India, consultant of UNOCAL,
meeting with the mayor of moscow on July 15th, 2001 etc...)
? How much prior knowledge did John Ashcroft have? He was
in Milwaukee on September 11th, and avoiding flying in
commercial airlines on the advice of the FBI. How strong
are Ashcroft’s current connections to the oil and gas
industry? Who contributed to Ashcroft's 2000 Senate
race? Oil industry donors to Ashcroft's campaign which are
heavily invested in Kazakhstan, or which represent firms
that are, include Chevron ($7,500), Enron ($7,499), The
Independent Petroleum Association of America ($5,000), BP
Amoco ($4,000) and Halliburton ($3,500), the main contractor
of UNOCAL, who tried to build an oil pipeline in Afghanistan
in 1998. How much did Vice President Cheney know? And
how strong was his interest to let the attack happen to
start a war against Iraq? Why is the investigation of his
former company Halliburton ignoring the strong ties to the
Taliban and Iraq- and even Cuba, where the company built the
cells for Guantanamo Bay, with Phillipinos screened by the
FBI? US oil-service companies such as Halliburton, Baker
Hughes, Schlumberger, Flowserve, Fisher-Rosemount and others
still use subsidiaries and joint venture companies to do oil
business with Iraq, channelling funds discreetly through
European and other companies. ...and
finally: What about President Bush himself? "There are
countries which harbor and develop weapons of mass
destruction, countries run by people who poison their own
people" Maybe
someone should ask the US Pharmacy industry and the staff of
Fort Detrick first, but this is another issue. On the
night of September 10th to September 11th, President Bush
was in Florida and met his brother Jeb Bush, former governor
Bob Martinez and other state Republicans. Governor
Martinez was once appointed by President Bush to be the
director of the National Campaign Against Use of Drugs. He
now operates an international business consulting firm in
his hometown of Tampa. President Bush later left the meeting with Martinez and
stayed at Longboat Key. On 6:30 AM in the morning he went
already for a four-mile run around the golf course at the
Colony Beach and Tennis Resort on Longboat Key. At 8:30 AM
his motorcade left for Booker Elementary School. Bush
claims, when Andrew Card told him about the second trade
center attack, he was thinking: "I made up my mind at that
moment that we were going to war" But we knew, that a
while before, his adviser Karl Rove (once lobbied by Boeing
over the sale of F-15 fighter jets) brought him the news
about the first plane, "saying it appeared to be an accident
involving a small, twin-engine plane". Bush
however later confirmed that he was thinking about an
accident only, but now claims, he saw the first plane crash
live on TV: "I was sitting outside the classroom waiting
to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower - the TV was
obviously on. And I used to fly, myself, and I said, well,
there's one terrible pilot. I said, it must have been a
horrible accident." The Washington Post however writes it different: "This
is pilot error," the president recalled saying. "It's
unbelievable that somebody would do this." Conferring with
Andrew H. Card Jr., his White House chief of staff, Bush
said, "The guy must have had a heart attack." If you
carefully analyse the video from Bush at Booker Elemenatry
School, you will recognise no reaction, after he was briefed
per short whisper by Andrew Card (former General Motors'
Vice President of Government Relations) about the second
plane crash on the Twin Towers. From a regular
psychological point of view, this reaction seems rather
odd. Bush remained sitting for 15-20 minutes in this
school listening to a story about a goat, he even started
some jokes, and then finally left the school for his speech
at 9:30 AM. The video is mirrored on at least 9 servers
worldwide. One copy is at
http://www.buzzflash.com Sometime in early
spring 2001, according to an account reconstructed by
Condoleeza Rice from her own memory and from those of others
present, Bush expressed impatience with the pace of progress
against bin Laden. After being briefed in the Oval Office
about recent threat warnings, with Cheney and White House
Chief of Staff Andrew H. Card Jr. in the room, Bush is said
to have replied: "I'm tired of swatting flies. I'm tired of
playing defense. I want to play offense. I want to take the
fight to the terrorists." Source: Bush
knew much more before Sep11th, than he claims. Probably not
much, but a lot about political changes. For instance, not
a lot is known about the "Indonesia"
mystery: Indonesian military officials
and much of the Indonesian press thought that Megawati had
scored a victory in restoring military ties. Many speculated
that Bush was offering Megawati a recruitment bonus to join
his coalition against terrorism. But in an off-the-record
conversation, a White House official explained that the
package Bush presented to Megawati was completed on
September 10th, and not a word was changed after the events
of the next day. Much of what Bush promised Megawati was
from the administration's review of US-Indonesian military
ties policy that had taken place over the northern
summer." How much did Bush really know? Did he let
the attack happen on purpose? ENDS…. FOR
