WHO'S TRULY BEHIND THE ATTACK
ON AMERICA?
Many people have compared the
horrendous terrorist attack on New
York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon
in Washington to the
attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. It
is an apt comparison, though not
for the reasons most people think.
For true students of history,
it is now nearly beyond dispute that
certain high-ranking officials in Washington,
D. C. knew in advance
of the Japanese intention to attack
the U.S. fleet in Hawaii, yet did
nothing to prevent it.
President Roosevelt, who at the
time was blatantly violating the
Neutrality Act, has been quoted as
saying, "A Japanese attack on
us.would certainly fulfill two of the
most important requirements of
our policy [to engage America in the
war despite his pledge to keep
us out of war.]"
Must the citizens of the United
States wait another 50 years to
learn that the 9-11 terrorist attack
was allowed to take place just
like Pearl Harbor?
Could such an appalling scenario
possibly be true?
Consider the comment of Kenneth
Katzman, a terrorist expert with the
Congressional Research Service,
who told the Washington Post, "How
nothing could have been picked up [by
U.S. intelligence agencies
regarding the coming attack] is beyond
me."
Simple countermeasures against
such an attack now seem apparent. For
example, if the airlines would assigned
just one armed plainclothes
security man to each flight, this tragedy
may have been averted since
apparently the hijackers were armed
only with knives or other type
blades. So, how were they able to overpower
a plane load of people
and, more importantly, gain access
to the cockpits? Who taught them
to fly jumbo jets?
As in the case of the assassination
of President John F. Kennedy,
the key to understanding the event
lies not in who actually committed
the violence but rather who was able
to strip away the normal
security protection.
Government and airline officials
knew immediately that planes had
been hijacked, yet no interceptors
appeared in the air until after
the attacks were completed. Who stripped
away the normal security
protection of America on 9-11?
At least in this most recent
case, the government cannot blame the
attack on a lone deranged individual,
some Lee Harvey McVeigh. They
must deal with a full-blown conspiracy,
even though authorities were
quick to point the finger at Osama
bin-Laden. Any investigation of
bin-Laden must look beyond the man,
to the backers and financiers
behind him.
The trail of the terrorists will
most probably become murky, with
plenty of accusations for all concerned.
But one thing appears quite
clear, the tragic events of 9-11 play
right into the hands of persons
with an agenda aimed at eroding American
liberties and sovereignty.
After decades of bloated and
misused defense budgets, there are now
calls for doubling our defense allocation.
In a time of rising
recognition that the CIA is an agency
never sought by the public and
one which has brought so much condemnation
on this nation, there are
now cries for doubling its size and
budget. If the chief security
officer for a large company fails to
protect one of its most prized
assets, is he more likely to be fired
or have his pay doubled?
Watch for more anti-terrorist
legislation to further shred the U.S.
Constitution.
As we all scramble to deal with
the effects of terrorism, are we in
danger of losing our few remaining
individual liberties? The media
blithely reported that each of the
cell phone calls made by doomed
passengers on the hijacked airliners
was recorded by the government.
Doesn't this mean that all cell phone
calls are, or can be, recorded?
Whatever happened to telephone privacy?
Where is the indignant outcry
over such Big Brotherism.
But the biggest threat comes
from the inner elite of the globalist
societies. Within hours of the attack,
the television and radio
airwaves were full of ranking Council
on Foreign Relations members,
such as Henry Kissinger, Wesley Clark,
Alexander Haig and Strobe
Talbot. Talbot, President Clinton's
deputy secretary of state, told
Time magazine in 1992, "In the next
century [today], nations as we
know it will be obsolete; all states
will recognize a single, global
authority."
No matter who was speaking, their
"party line" was the same:
terrible tragedy, find and punish those
responsible, stop terrorism.
But, of course, since terrorists move
between national boundaries, we
must joined with other "freedom loving"
nations and work with the
United Nations and NATO to combat this
new menace. This is a thinly-
disguised effort to have a mourning
and emotional American public
stampeded into their New World Order.
Also, consider that we are distracted
from a faltering economy [the
current crisis may require more federal
financial controls], a
plummeting public opinion of George
W. Bush and surging energy prices.
Would leaders allow a public
disaster to happen with an eye toward
advancing their agendas? It's happened
before. in Nero's burning
Rome, Germany's gutted Reichstag, at
Pearl Harbor and gain at the
Gulf of Tonkin.
While we should grieve for our
losses, we must keep our heads. When
the emotions of the moment run hot,
we must remain cool and
thoughtful so that we can find who
is truly behind this attack on
America.
Who Is Osama Bin Laden?
by Michel Chossudovsky
Professor of Economics, University of
Ottawa
Centre for Research on Globalisation (CRG),
Montréal
Posted 12 September 2001
A few hours after the terrorist attacks on
the World Trade Centre and the
Pentagon, the Bush administration concluded
without supporting evidence,
that "Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda organisation
were prime suspects".
CIA Director George Tenet stated that bin
Laden has the capacity to plan
``multiple attacks with little or no warning.''
Secretary of State Colin
Powell called the attacks "an act of war"
and President Bush confirmed in an
evening televised address to the Nation that
he would "make no distinction
between the terrorists who committed these
acts and those who harbor them".
Former CIA Director James Woolsey pointed
his finger at "state sponsorship,"
implying the complicity of one or more foreign
governments. In the words of
former National Security Adviser, Lawrence
Eagleburger, "I think we will
show when we get attacked like this, we are
terrible in our strength and in
our retribution."
Meanwhile, parroting official statements,
the Western media mantra has
approved the launching of "punitive actions"
directed against civilian
targets in the Middle East. In the words
of William Saffire writing in the
New York Times: "When we reasonably determine
our attackers' bases and
camps, we must pulverize them -- minimizing
but accepting the risk of
collateral damage" -- and act overtly or
covertly to destabilize terror's
national hosts".
The following text outlines the history of
Osama Bin Laden and the links of
the Islamic "Jihad" to the formulation of
US foreign policy during the Cold
War and its aftermath.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Prime suspect in the New York and Washington
terrorists attacks, branded by
the FBI as an "international terrorist" for
his role in the African US
embassy bombings, Saudi born Osama bin Laden
was recruited during the
Soviet-Afghan war "ironically under the auspices
of the CIA, to fight Soviet
invaders". 1
In 1979 "the largest covert operation in the
history of the CIA" was
launched in response to the Soviet invasion
of Afghanistan in support of the
pro-Communist government of Babrak Kamal.2:
With the active encouragement of the CIA and
Pakistan's ISI [Inter Services
Intelligence], who wanted to turn the Afghan
jihad into a global war waged
by all Muslim states against the Soviet Union,
some 35,000 Muslim radicals
from 40 Islamic countries joined Afghanistan's
fight between 1982 and 1992.
Tens of thousands more came to study in Pakistani
madrasahs. Eventually more
than 100,000 foreign Muslim radicals were
directly influenced by the Afghan
jihad.3
The Islamic "jihad" was supported by the United
States and Saudi Arabia with
a significant part of the funding generated
from the Golden Crescent drug
trade:
In March 1985, President Reagan signed National
Security Decision Directive
166,...[which] authorize[d] stepped-up covert
military aid to the
mujahideen, and it made clear that the secret
Afghan war had a new goal: to
defeat Soviet troops in Afghanistan through
covert action and encourage a
Soviet withdrawal. The new covert U.S. assistance
began with a dramatic
increase in arms supplies -- a steady rise
to 65,000 tons annually by 1987,
... as well as a "ceaseless stream" of CIA
and Pentagon specialists who
traveled to the secret headquarters of Pakistan's
ISI on the main road near
Rawalpindi, Pakistan. There the CIA specialists
met with Pakistani
intelligence officers to help plan operations
for the Afghan rebels.4
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) using
Pakistan's military
Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) played
a key role in training the
Mujahideen. In turn, the CIA sponsored guerrilla
training was integrated
with the teachings of Islam:
Predominant themes were that Islam was a complete
socio-political ideology,
that holy Islam was being violated by the
atheistic Soviet troops, and that
the Islamic people of Afghanistan should
reassert their independence by
overthrowing the leftist Afghan regime propped
up by Moscow.5
Pakistan's Intelligence Apparatus
Pakistan's ISI was used as a "go-between".
The CIA covert support to the
"jihad" operated indirectly through the Pakistani
ISI, --i.e. the CIA did
not channel its support directly to the Mujahideen.
In other words, for
these covert operations to be "successful",
Washington was careful not to
reveal the ultimate objective of the "jihad",
which consisted in destroying
the Soviet Union.
In the words of CIA's Milton Beardman "We
didn't train Arabs". Yet according
to Abdel Monam Saidali, of the Al-aram Center
for Strategic Studies in
Cairo, bin Laden and the "Afghan Arabs" had
been imparted "with very
sophisticated types of training that was
allowed to them by the CIA" 6
CIA's Beardman confirmed, in this regard,
that Osama bin Laden was not aware
of the role he was playing on behalf of Washington.
In the words of bin
Laden (quoted by Beardman): "neither I, nor
my brothers saw evidence of
American help". 7
Motivated by nationalism and religious fervor,
the Islamic warriors were
unaware that they were fighting the Soviet
Army on behalf of Uncle Sam.
While there were contacts at the upper levels
of the intelligence hierarchy,
Islamic rebel leaders in theatre had no contacts
with Washington or the CIA.
With CIA backing and the funneling of massive
amounts of US military aid,
the Pakistani ISI had developed into a "parallel
structure wielding enormous
power over all aspects of government". 8
The ISI had a staff composed of
military and intelligence officers, bureaucrats,
undercover agents and
informers, estimated at 150,000. 9
Meanwhile, CIA operations had also reinforced
the Pakistani military regime
led by General Zia Ul Haq:
'Relations between the CIA and the ISI [Pakistan's
military intelligence]
had grown increasingly warm following [General]
Zia's ouster of Bhutto and
the advent of the military regime,'... During
most of the Afghan war,
Pakistan was more aggressively anti-Soviet
than even the United States. Soon
after the Soviet military invaded Afghanistan
in 1980, Zia [ul Haq] sent his
ISI chief to destabilize the Soviet Central
Asian states. The CIA only
agreed to this plan in October 1984.... `the
CIA was more cautious than the
Pakistanis.' Both Pakistan and the United
States took the line of deception
on Afghanistan with a public posture of negotiating
a settlement while
privately agreeing that military escalation
was the best course.10
The Golden Crescent Drug Triangle
The history of the drug trade in Central Asia
is intimately related to the
CIA's covert operations. Prior to the Soviet-Afghan
war, opium production in
Afghanistan and Pakistan was directed to
small regional markets. There was
no local production of heroin. 11 In this
regard, Alfred McCoy's study
confirms that within two years of the onslaught
of the CIA operation in
Afghanistan, "the Pakistan-Afghanistan borderlands
became the world's top
heroin producer, supplying 60 percent of
U.S. demand. In Pakistan, the
heroin-addict population went from near zero
in 1979... to 1.2 million by
1985 -- a much steeper rise than in any other
nation":12
CIA assets again controlled this heroin trade.
As the Mujahideen guerrillas
seized territory inside Afghanistan, they
ordered peasants to plant opium as
a revolutionary tax. Across the border in
Pakistan, Afghan leaders and local
syndicates under the protection of Pakistan
Intelligence operated hundreds
of heroin laboratories. During this decade
of wide-open drug-dealing, the
U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency in Islamabad
failed to instigate major seizures
or arrests ... U.S. officials had refused
to investigate charges of heroin
dealing by its Afghan allies `because U.S.
narcotics policy in Afghanistan
has been subordinated to the war against
Soviet influence there.' In 1995,
the former CIA director of the Afghan operation,
Charles Cogan, admitted the
CIA had indeed sacrificed the drug war to
fight the Cold War. `Our main
mission was to do as much damage as possible
to the Soviets. We didn't
really have the resources or the time to
devote to an investigation of the
drug trade,'... `I don't think that we need
to apologize for this. Every
situation has its fallout.... There was fallout
in terms of drugs, yes. But
the main objective was accomplished. The
Soviets left Afghanistan.'13
In the Wake of the Cold War
In the wake of the Cold War, the Central Asian
region is not only strategic
for its extensive oil reserves, it also produces
three quarters of the
World's opium representing multibillion dollar
revenues to business
syndicates, financial institutions, intelligence
agencies and organized
crime. The annual proceeds of the Golden
Crescent drug trade (between 100
and 200 billion dollars) represents approximately
one third of the Worldwide
annual turnover of narcotics, estimated by
the United Nations to be of the
order of $500 billion.14
With the disintegration of the Soviet Union,
a new surge in opium production
has unfolded. (According to UN estimates,
the production of opium in
Afghanistan in 1998-99 -- coinciding with
the build up of armed insurgencies
in the former Soviet republics-- reached
a record high of 4600 metric
tons.15 Powerful business syndicates in the
former Soviet Union allied with
organized crime are competing for the strategic
control over the heroin
routes.
The ISI's extensive intelligence military-network
was not dismantled in the
wake of the Cold War. The CIA continued to
support the Islamic "jihad" out
of Pakistan. New undercover initiatives were
set in motion in Central Asia,
the Caucasus and the Balkans. Pakistan's
military and intelligence apparatus
essentially "served as a catalyst for the
disintegration of the Soviet Union
and the emergence of six new Muslim republics
in Central Asia." 16.
Meanwhile, Islamic missionaries of the Wahhabi
sect from Saudi Arabia had
established themselves in the Muslim republics
as well as within the Russian
federation encroaching upon the institutions
of the secular State. Despite
its anti-American ideology, Islamic fundamentalism
was largely serving
Washington's strategic interests in the former
Soviet Union.
Following the withdrawal of Soviet troops
in 1989, the civil war in
Afghanistan continued unabated. The Taliban
were being supported by the
Pakistani Deobandis and their political party
the Jamiat-ul-Ulema-e-Islam
(JUI). In 1993, JUI entered the government
coalition of Prime Minister
Benazzir Bhutto. Ties between JUI, the Army
and ISI were established. In
1995, with the downfall of the Hezb-I-Islami
Hektmatyar government in Kabul,
the Taliban not only instated a hardline
Islamic government, they also
"handed control of training camps in Afghanistan
over to JUI factions..." 17
And the JUI with the support of the Saudi
Wahhabi movements played a key
role in recruiting volunteers to fight in
the Balkans and the former Soviet
Union.
Jane Defense Weekly confirms in this regard
that "half of Taliban manpower
and equipment originate[d] in Pakistan under
the ISI" 18
In fact, it would appear that following the
Soviet withdrawal both sides in
the Afghan civil war continued to receive
covert support through Pakistan's
ISI. 19
In other words, backed by Pakistan's military
intelligence (ISI) which in
turn was controlled by the CIA, the Taliban
Islamic State was largely
serving American geopolitical interests.
The Golden Crescent drug trade was
also being used to finance and equip the
Bosnian Muslim Army (starting in
the early 1990s) and the Kosovo Liberation
Army (KLA). In last few months
there is evidence that Mujahideen mercenaries
are fighting in the ranks of
KLA-NLA terrorists in their assaults into
Macedonia.
No doubt, this explains why Washington has
closed its eyes on the reign of
terror imposed by the Taliban including the
blatant derogation of women's
rights, the closing down of schools for girls,
the dismissal of women
employees from government offices and the
enforcement of "the Sharia laws of
punishment".20
The War in Chechnya
With regard to Chechnya, the main rebel leaders
Shamil Basayev and Al
Khattab were trained and indoctrinated in
CIA sponsored camps in Afghanistan
and Pakistan. According to Yossef Bodansky,
director of the U.S. Congress's
Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional
Warfare, the war in Chechnya had
been planned during a secret summit of HizbAllah
International held in 1996
in Mogadishu, Somalia. 21 The summit, was
attended by Osama bin Laden and
high-ranking Iranian and Pakistani intelligence
officers. In this regard,
the involvement of Pakistan's ISI in Chechnya
"goes far beyond supplying the
Chechens with weapons and expertise: the
ISI and its radical Islamic proxies
are actually calling the shots in this war".
22
Russia's main pipeline route transits through
Chechnya and Dagestan. Despite
Washington's perfunctory condemnation of
Islamic terrorism, the indirect
beneficiaries of the Chechen war are the
Anglo-American oil conglomerates
which are vying for control over oil resources
and pipeline corridors out of
the Caspian Sea basin.
The two main Chechen rebel armies (respectively
led by Commander Shamil
Basayev and Emir Khattab) estimated at 35,000
strong were supported by
Pakistan's ISI, which also played a key role
in organizing and training the
Chechen rebel army:
[In 1994] the Pakistani Inter Services Intelligence
arranged for Basayev and
his trusted lieutenants to undergo intensive
Islamic indoctrination and
training in guerrilla warfare in the Khost
province of Afghanistan at Amir
Muawia camp, set up in the early 1980s by
the CIA and ISI and run by famous
Afghani warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. In July
1994, upon graduating from Amir
Muawia, Basayev was transferred to Markaz-i-Dawar
camp in Pakistan to
undergo training in advanced guerrilla tactics.
In Pakistan, Basayev met the
highest ranking Pakistani military and intelligence
officers: Minister of
Defense General Aftab Shahban Mirani, Minister
of Interior General
Naserullah Babar, and the head of the ISI
branch in charge of supporting
Islamic causes, General Javed Ashraf, (all
now retired). High-level
connections soon proved very useful to Basayev.23
Following his training and indoctrination
stint, Basayev was assigned to
lead the assault against Russian federal
troops in the first Chechen war in
1995. His organization had also developed
extensive links to criminal
syndicates in Moscow as well as ties to Albanian
organized crime and the
Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). In 1997-98,
according to Russia's Federal
Security Service (FSB) "Chechen warlords
started buying up real estate in
Kosovo... through several real estate firms
registered as a cover in
Yugoslavia" 24
Basayev's organisation has also been involved
in a number of rackets
including narcotics, illegal tapping and
sabotage of Russia's oil pipelines,
kidnapping, prostitution, trade in counterfeit
dollars and the smuggling of
nuclear materials (See Mafia linked to Albania's
collapsed pyramids, 25
Alongside the extensive laundering of drug
money, the proceeds of various
illicit activities have been funneled towards
the recruitment of mercenaries
and the purchase of weapons.
During his training in Afghanistan, Shamil
Basayev linked up with Saudi born
veteran Mujahideen Commander "Al Khattab"
who had fought as a volunteer in
Afghanistan. Barely a few months after Basayev's
return to Grozny, Khattab
was invited (early 1995) to set up an army
base in Chechnya for the training
of Mujahideen fighters. According to the
BBC, Khattab's posting to Chechnya
had been "arranged through the Saudi-Arabian
based [International] Islamic
Relief Organisation, a militant religious
organisation, funded by mosques
and rich individuals which channeled funds
into Chechnya".26
Concluding Remarks
Since the Cold War era, Washington has consciously
supported Osama bin
Laden, while at same time placing him on
the FBI's "most wanted list" as the
World's foremost terrorist.
While the Mujahideen are busy fighting America's
war in the Balkans and the
former Soviet Union, the FBI --operating
as a US based Police Force- is
waging a domestic war against terrorism,
operating in some respects
independently of the CIA which has --since
the Soviet-Afghan war-- supported
international terrorism through its covert
operations.
In a cruel irony, while the Islamic jihad
--featured by the Bush
Adminstration as "a threat to America"--
is blamed for the terrorist
assaults on the World Trade Centre and the
Pentagon, these same Islamic
organisations constitute a key instrument
of US military-intelligence
operations in the Balkans and the former
Soviet Union.
In the wake of the terrorist attacks in New
York and Washington, the truth
must prevail to prevent the Bush Adminstration
together with its NATO
partners from embarking upon a military adventure
which threatens the future
of humanity.

NY Times Confirms Air Defense FAA
Coverup
Date: 15/09/01 1:10:44 PM Pacific Daylight
Time
The New York Times has published an article
confirming the air defense
problems tragically illustrated by Tuesday's
acts of war against this
country, and confirming that the FAA was
well aware that airliners had been
hijacked PRIOR to the crashes into the World
Trade Center towers and the
Pentagon but fighters were not scrambled
in time for some reason. See this
link:
http://www.nytimes.com/2001/09/15/national/15CONT.html
The article reveals that "The Federal Aviation
Administration has officially
REFUSED TO DISCUSS ... the SEQUENCE OF EVENTS
on Tuesday morning, saying
these are part of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's
inquiry."
WHAT???? You mean that 10,000 of our
citizens can be slaughtered in
coldblood and the FAA can REFUSE TO DISCUSS
EVEN WHAT HAPPENED?????
This is absolutely contemptible. This
is the response of a bunch of
CRIMINALS TAKING THE 5th.
At what level of carnage would the FAA finally
relent and DISCUSS THE
SEQUENCE OF EVENTS leading to the carnage?
Would it take 100,000 dead? How
about 1 million dead? Would maybe at
70 million dead -- one-fourth of the
U.S. population -- as in a nuclear war, would
the FAA finally relent and
DISCUSS THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS that led to
such a holocaust?????
The article goes on to discuss the military-civilian
system of air traffic
control set up in the 50's (I had traced
it to 1952 via ADC histories in
researching the UFO air defense issue).
It claims these are "provisions for
close communications between civilian [FAA]
and military [NORAD] traffic
officials." But it looks to me like
the 1950's system of minute-by-minute
coordination between CAA/FAA and ADC/NORAD
of air traffic information to
identify all flights has broken down.
There doesn't seem to be a continuous
flow of instantaneous electronic air traffic
data to NORAD. Instead, someone
at FAA, a human, has to DECIDE to notify
NORAD. The data apparently (I don't
_know_ for sure) doesn't automatically appear
on NORAD display screens. Or
if it does, NORAD doesn't task computers
to track and pay attention to air
target data unless and until the FAA singles
out traffic for attention.
The excuse that this was unprecedented, they
were taken by surprise, didn't
know what to do about civilian airliners
hijacked as weapons of war, etc., is
just POPPYCOCK. Ever heard of Pearl
Harbor???? It was UNPRECEDENTED, a
SURPRISE, an ACT of WAR. Later in the
war we had SUICIDE KAMIKAZE bombers.
The CIA was set up in 1947 to warn against
and to prevent future Pearl
Harbors. The rules of engagement for
fighter interception of Unidentified
Targets, as we've seen from UFO incidents,
has never been so EFFETE and
CONFUSED.
If the target was behaving peculiarly or entered
a Restricted Zone (remember
the Washington National Airport UFO incidents
of July 1952?) the targets were
INTERCEPTED. At the very least fighters
could have pinpointed the airliners,
followed their headings and alerted ahead
where the airliners seemed to be
going, especially American Flight 77 which
reportedly flew around the White
House and the Capitol prior to plunging into
the Pentagon.
In the Wash Nat UFO incidents we saw there
was a delay in scrambling fighters
because the runway at Andrews AFB was closed
for repairs and the F-94's had
to come from Dover AFB in Delaware over 100
miles away. Has NO ONE IN AIR
DEFENSE LEARNED ANY LESSONS from 1952????
I thought they had and that in
part at least it was recognized that the
comprehensive system of CAA-ADC
communication was going to solve such problems,
though in 1952 it was
realized that it would take a few years before
the
system would be fully up
and running. And THAT was in the days
before computers and satellites. What
excuse do we have today?

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

BIN LADEN & HIS CIA CONNECTIONS COME
HOME TO ROOST
[Note that the date on this story is August
1998, by MSNBC's International
Editor]
Bin Laden comes home to roost His CIA ties
are only the beginning of a
woeful story
By Michael Moran MSNBC
http://msnbc.com/news/190144.asp?cp1=1
NEW YORK, Aug. 24, 1998 - At the CIA,
it happens often enough to have a
code name: Blowback. Simply defined, this
is the term that describes an
agent, an operative or an operation that
has turned on its creators. Osama
bin Laden, our new public enemy Number 1,
is the personification of
blowback. And the fact that he is viewed
as a hero by millions in the
Islamic world proves again the old adage:
Reap what you sow.
BEFORE YOU CLICK on my face and call me naive,
let me concede some points.
Yes, the West needed Josef Stalin to defeat
Hitler. Yes, there were times
during the Cold War when supporting one villain
(Cambodia's Lon Nol, for
instance) would have been better than the
alternative (Pol Pot). So yes,
there are times when any nation must hold
its nose and shake hands with the
devil for the long-term good of the planet.
But just as surely, there are times when the
United States, faced
with such moral dilemmas, should have resisted
the temptation to act. Arming
a multi- national coalition of Islamic extremists
in
Afghanistan during the 1980s - well after
the destruction of the
Marine barracks in Beirut or the hijacking
of TWA Flight 847 - was
one of those times.
BIN LADEN'S BEGINNINGS
As anyone who has bothered to read this far
certainly knows by now, bin
Laden is the heir to Saudi construction fortune
who, at least
since the early 1990s, has used that money
to finance countless
attacks on U.S. interests and those of its
Arab allies around the
world.
Osama bin Laden's network
As his unclassified CIA biography states,
bin Laden left Saudi Arabia
to fight the Soviet army in Afghanistan after
Moscow's invasion in
1979. By 1984, he was running a front organization
known as Maktab
al-Khidamar - the MAK - which funneled money,
arms and fighters from the
outside world into the Afghan war.
What the CIA bio conveniently fails to specify
(in its unclassified
form, at least) is that the MAK was nurtured
by Pakistan's state
security services, the Inter-Services Intelligence
agency, or ISI,
the CIA's primary conduit for conducting
the covert war against
Moscow's occupation.
By no means was Osama bin Laden the leader
of Afghanistan's
mujahedeen. His money gave him undue prominence
in the Afghan
struggle, but the vast majority of those
who fought and died for
Afghanistan's freedom - like the Taliban
regime that now holds sway
over most of that tortured nation - were
Afghan nationals.
Yet the CIA, concerned about the factionalism
of Afghanistan made
famous by Rudyard Kipling, found that Arab
zealots who flocked to aid the
Afghans were easier to "read" than the rivalry-ridden
natives.
While the Arab volunteers might well prove
troublesome later, the
agency reasoned, they at least were one-dimensionally
anti-Soviet for now.
So bin Laden, along with a small group of
Islamic militants from Egypt,
Pakistan, Lebanon, Syria and Palestinian
refugee camps all over the Middle
East, became the "reliable" partners of the
CIA in its war against Moscow.
WHAT'S 'INTELLIGENT' ABOUT THIS?
Though he has come to represent all that went
wrong with the CIA's
reckless strategy there, by the end of the
Afghan war in 1989, bin
Laden was still viewed by the agency as something
of a dilettante - a rich
Saudi boy gone to war and welcomed home by
the Saudi monarchy he so hated as
something of a hero.
America strikes back
In fact, while he returned to his family's
construction business, bin
Laden had split from the relatively conventional
MAK in 1988 and
established a new group, al-Qaida, that included
many of the more
extreme MAK members he had met in Afghanistan.
Most of these Afghan vets, or Afghanis, as
the Arabs who fought there became
known, turned up later behind violent Islamic
movements around the world.
Among them: the GIA in Algeria, thought responsible
for the massacres of
tens of thousands of civilians; Egypt's Gamat
Ismalia, which has massacred
western tourists repeatedly in recent years;
Saudi Arabia Shiite militants,
responsible for the Khobar Towers and Riyadh
bombings of 1996.
Indeed, to this day, those involved in the
decision to give the
Afghan rebels access to a fortune in covert
funding and top-level
combat weaponry continue to defend that move
in the context of the
Cold War. Sen. Orrin Hatch, a senior Republican
on the Senate
Intelligence Committee making those decisions,
told my colleague
Robert Windrem that he would make the same
call again today even
knowing what bin Laden would do subsequently.
"It was worth it," he
said.
"Those were very important, pivotal matters
that played an important role in
the downfall of the Soviet Union," he said.
HINDSIGHT OR TUNNEL VISION
It should be pointed out that the evidence
of bin Laden's connection
to these activities is mostly classified,
though its hard to imagine
the CIA rushing to take credit for a Frankenstein's
monster like
this.
It is also worth acknowledging that it is
easier now to oppose the
CIA's Afghan adventures than it was when
Hatch and company made them in the
mid-1980s. After all, in 1998 we now know
that far larger elements than
Afghanistan were corroding the communist
party's grip on power in Moscow.
Even Hatch can't be blamed completely. The
CIA, ever mindful of the need to
justify its "mission," had conclusive evidence
by the
mid-1980s of the deepening crisis of infrastructure
within the Soviet
Union. The CIA, as its deputy director William
Gates acknowledged
under congressional questioning in 1992,
had decided to keep that
evidence from President Reagan and his top
advisors and instead
continued to grossly exaggerate Soviet military
and technological
capabilities in its annual "Soviet Military
Power" report right up to
1990.
Given that context, a decision was made to
provide America's
potential enemies with the arms, money -
and most importantly - the
knowledge of how to run a war of attrition
violent and well-organized
enough to humble a superpower.
That decision is coming home to roost.

FINANCIERS WARNED! Congress left in the
dark about WTC foreknowledge (english)
by relayed from counterpunch 4:06am Fri Sep 14 '01
lots of stuff, MOSTLY THAT FINANCIERS WERE WARNED! and
Congress left in the dark. Internal
memo to Goldman Sachs distributed on
SEPTEMBER 10 2001 warning emminent
terrorism. Wonder why all the big
CEOs they have been reporting were
conveniently "out of the office" in the
WTC that day? Talk about private and
corrupt power, and Congresspeople
are saying this.

Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair

* Most
revealing reaction
Benyamin
Netanyahu, former Israeli prime minister, on being asked
what the attack means for relations
between the US and Israel: "It's very
good."
* Least
credible analysis
New York
Times columnist William Safire, claiming there was a terrorist
mole in the White House, relaying to
the kamikaze pilots the whereabouts of
the President and the special coordinates
of Air Force One. Safire's political
mission in that particular column was
to explain why the President fled
down a SAC bunker in Nebraska. * Least
credible news footage
CNN's
videotape of Palestinians supposedly dancing in the streets of a
West Bank town. CounterPuncher Marcio
A.V. Carvalho at the state
university of Campinas in Brazil tells
us that he and his colleagues had
compared this tape with one from 1991
showing Palestinian cheering, and
found them to be identical. [a claim--though
Canadian news footage shows
mourning Arabs; U.S. media shows happy,
celebrating Arabs. You put the
pieces together on who is the enemy:
THE U.S CORPORATE MEDIA!]
America's
Greens Rally to Flag, Run for Cover
Hot to
present themselves as staunch flag-waggers, some of America's
premier environmental organizations
have disgracefully ditched their
principles.
The Sierra
Club, America's oldest green group has abruptly turned off its
campaign against the anti-environmental
program of the Bush
administration. CounterPunch has secured
an internal memo in which the
club's high command explains to its
staff why it suspending its campaigns.
"In response to the attacks on America,"
the memo goes, "we are shifting
our communications strategy for the
immediate future. We have taken all of
our ads off of the air; halted our
phone banks; removed any material from
the web that people could perceive
as anti-Bush, and we are taking other
steps to prevent the Sierra Club from
being perceived as controversial
during this crisis. For now we are
going to stop aggressively pushing our
agenda and will cease bashing President
Bush "
The memo
then instructs club staffers on how to respond to the press:
"If you are asked about what this terrorism
does to the Sierra Club's agenda,
please respond simply by saying that
right now the public needs to focus on
comforting each other and strengthening
our national security to deal with
the crisis at hand."
Imagine
if this craven posture spreads across the public interest
movement. We could expect First Amendment
defenders to say that they
were abandoning efforts to protect
the Bill of Rights. We could expect
groups defending immigrants to say
that henceforth the INS should be given
free rein. Fortunately First Amendment
defenders and defenders of
immigrants have stronger spines and
principles than the supposed
defenders of the environment at the
Sierra Club. Are we now to expect the
Club to endorse drilling in the Arctic
National Wildlife Reserve as necessary
"for national security"?
Even
groups that we here at CounterPunch have admired are now in
pellmell cowardly retreat.
The Berkeley-based
International Rivers Network, which has been the
main bulwark against the Three Gorges
dam in China, now announces that
it is suspending its planned nationwide
protest against Morgan Stanley, one
of the dam's principle financiers.
Morgan Stanley had 50 floors of offices in
the World Trade Center. IRN has also
announced that "out of respect for the
victims of this disaster, with understanding
of the strategic difficulties in
conveying to a shocked media and public
our messages regarding the
World Bank and IMF, with concern for
the integrity of security systems in
Washington DC, and for the safety of
all, we will refrain from participating in
activities surrounding the planned
World Bank / IMF this month. We are also
sharing our concerns with the leading
organizations responsible for planning
and coordinating these activities."
The Ruckus
Society, the direct action training group involved in many
demonstrations at the World Trade Organization
has simultaneously
announced that it is canceling its
training camp, to be held in Middleburgh,
Virginia, scheduled as preparation
for the next World Bank meeting. This
camp was to be cosponsored by the Institute
for Policy Studies, Jobs with
Justice and Global Exchange. All these
organizations have now backed out,
saying that now is not the time for
such activity.
The Rainforest
Action Network, based in San Francisco, has called for
the cancellation of the protest and
said that in the event it goes forward it
will not participate.
Let's
get this straight. If all resisters to the Bush political program were
to follow this shameful exhibition
by these green groups, we would see
peace groups declining to protest against
nuclear attacks on Iraq and armed
invasion of Afghanistan. We would see
civil rights sitting on their hands as
racial and religious profiling is used
to persecute people of Middle Eastern
descent. Defenders of Palestinian rights
would say that for the time being
they wouldn't protest the use of US
Apache helicopters against civilians in
West Bank towns and villages. What
nonsense! Principles are never more
important than when it is inconvenient
or dangerous to stand up for them.
Big Oil's
Kamikaze
Rep.
Don Young, the wild man from Alaska, was one of the few
members of congress who didn't completely
buy into the notion of Osama
bin Laden as the mastermind of the
attacks on the World Trade complex
and the Pentagon. There's some possibility,
Young told the Alaska Daily
News, that the attacks are linked to
the protests against the World Trade
Organization, another of which is scheduled
for later this month in
Washington D.C. "If you watched what
happened (at past protests) in
Genoa, in Italy, and even in Seattle,
there's some expertise in that field,"
Young said. "I'm not sure they're that
dedicated but ecoterrorists --which are
really based in Seattle -- there's
a strong possibility that could be one of the
groups."
Young
doesn't believe any of this. But he smells weakness in the
environmental movement and, like the
old fur-trapper that he is, he is poised
to exploit it. Young is not beneath
using the carnage of the World Trade
Center as a launching ground for his
own agenda: oil drilling in the Arctic
Wildlife Refuge, logging in the Tongass
rainforest, passing laws against
environmental protest and construction
of new missile bases in the Alaska
tundra and on the Aleutian Islands.
Chemical
War in Manhattan As the environmentalists are putting
themselves into a state of suspended
animation, the citizens of Manhattan
and the thousands of volunteer rescue
workers mulling through the rubble at
the World Trade Center complex may
well be in the whirlwind of a toxic
event, which has received little media
attention and almost no precautionary
aid from FEMA or other federal agencies
coordinating.
Early
reports from the Environmental Protection Agency described the
destruction of the World Trade complex
"an environmental catastrophe": the
air of Manhattan clotted with asbestos,
dioxin and other poisons. Yet,
rescue workers found themselves without
little more than surgical masks
between their lungs and the poisons
emanating from the smoldering ruins.
For years,
the Pentagon and other terror pundits had been warning of
the vulnerability of American cities
to attack by biological and chemical
weapons, the so-called asymmetrical
warfare. These apocalyptic scenarios
held that terrorist groups would unleash
anthrax or sarin gas attacks in
subways, water supplies or mega-office
buildings, such as the World Trade
Towers. Well, it turns out that the
attackers didn't need to pack any
chemicals, the buildings themselves
proved to be quite toxic enough. The
attackers used American planes as missiles
and the buildings as chemical
weapons.
Built
during the height of the asbestos boom, the guts of the World
Trade Center may have been one of the
world's largest repositories of the
carcinogenic fiber, used as insulation
in the giant towers.
Underneath
the rubble, thousands of tires continue to burn, sending
plumes of pitch black smoke down the
canyons of Manhattan. This smoke
is contaminated with dioxins and assorted
other poisons of the
petrochemical age.
Early
Warnings
Reports
keep coming in to us of advanced warnings that an attack of
some sort was eminent. San Francisco
Mayor Willie Brown was booked to
fly from the Bay Area to New York City
on the morning of September 11. But
Brown says that late Monday evening,
a full 8 hours prior to the attack, he
received a call from a person Brown
described as his "airport security man"
telling him that he should be extra
cautious about air travel on September
11.
In addition
to what we have previously reported about heightened
security at the World Trade Center
itself in the weeks leading to the attack
and at the Picatinny Arsenal in Rockaway,
New Jersey, CounterPunch has
also learned that an internal memo
was sent around Goldman Sachs in
Tokyo on September 10 advising all
employees of a possible terrorist
attack. It recommended all employees
to avoid any American government
buildings.
That
said, according to Rep. David Bonior, the Michigan Democrat, the
Congress was the last to know. Even
after two planes had struck the World
Trade Center towers and another had
smashed into the Pentagon, Bonior
says congressional officials were not
warned by the CIA or any other
intelligence arm of the federal government
that the 30,000 workers in the
Capitol might be at risk of an attack.
Bonoir has been one of the few
members of Congress to openly question
the value of bowing to the
demands for more money made by CIA
and other intelligence agencies. "If
they can't even warn members of Congress
about an ongoing attack, you
really have to wonder what good they
are," Bonior said. CP

Skolnick - US Government Had Prior Knowledge
Of Emergency
By Sherman H. Skolnick
skolnick@ameritech.net http://www.skolnicksreport.com
America's Reichstag Fire
The most massive so-called "terrorist" attacks
on U.S. soil since the
Oklahoma City bombings of 1995, were known,
a week ahead of time, by the
American CIA. Among the foreign intelligence
agencies who penetrated the
plots were the French CIA and Israel's The
Mossad, units of both often
working with one another.
Foreign intelligence sources confirm the validity
of this story. And they
state that they informed the U.S. secret
police who absolutely failed,
neglected, and outright refused to take action
as to known prior specifics
of which the top-level of the CIA were informed
in advance.
As made known to the CIA, were the following,
among other details:
[1] That George Herbert Walker Bush, as President,
at the close of the
Persian Gulf War, 1991, arranged to bring
into the U.S. some four thousand
Iraqi military officers, some from intelligence
units, and their families.
[2] Some 550 of these officers became residents
in Lincoln, Nebraska, AND
TWO THOUSAND OF THEM took up residence in
Oklahoma City. In a watered down
story, CBS' "60 Minutes" Program did a segment
once on this about Lincoln,
Nebraska but said NOTHING about the Iraqi
military officers in Oklahoma
City.
[3] The financial and other provisions for
them and their families were
arranged by the Elder Bush, and then quietly
continued by Bill Clinton as
President, and perpetuated by George W. Bush
as White House "resident" and
"occupant". The arrangements included financial
subsidies, housing, and
employment for the Iraqi officers.
[A brave Oklahoma City TV Reporter, Jayna
Davis, on their local TV station,
put on the air several stories about the
Iraqi connection to the bombing of
the Alfred P. Murrah Building, the bombing
done with the aid of domestic
dissidents as surrogates. A group bought
out the TV station and silenced
her. Timothy McVeigh's chief defense counsel
for the murder trial, Stephen
Jones, on behalf of McVeigh, filed an extra-ordinary
petition in the next
higher court, just prior to the murder trial.
To no avail, Jones tried to
force Denver U.S. District Judge Richard
Matsch to compel the American CIA
to disgorge records held by them showing
prior U.S. knowledge of the
bombing, as confirmed by other known records,
some of them also in secret
court records. We have a copy of the 185
page U.S. Court of Appeals, 10th
Circuit, petition filed by Jones and almost
uniformly ignored by the
American monopoly press. The petition raises
the Iraqi connection.]
[4] The foreign intelligence agencies informed
the American CIA that guns
would be planted on-board as many as ten
U.S. commercial airflights. This to
be done by airplane clean-up crew members
who are generally not subject to
airport security provisions. These workers
most likely did not know the
purpose of the gun-planting.
[5] The CIA also was informed prior to the
"terrorist" attacks scheduled for
"911" Emergency Day [September 11], that
highly skilled Iraqi pilots, among
the four thousand Iraqi officers resident
in the U.S., would take over the
commercial flights, by retrieving the weapons
concealed onboard, and then
commandeering the flight deck.
[6] The Elder Bush, Clinton, and George W.
Bush, all were in a position to
know that the Iraqi officers that they provided
for included some
double-agents. The FBI Counter-Intelligence
Division at no time was
instructed to do anything about these double-agents
in a position to commit
mischief, murder, and mayhem, on U.S. soil.
[7] As I revealed a week prior to the "terrorist"
attacks, some foreign
television networks were busy preparing lengthy
documentaries that would
scandalize George W. Bush and other members
of the Bush Family, including
the Elder Bush and Jeb Bush. The subject
matter included how forty million
dollars in dope funds were used by the Bush
Family to reportedly corrupt
South Florida DEMOCRATS to abandon the recount
even ahead of the U.S.
Supreme Court ruling installing George W.
Bush as the "resident" and
"occupant" of the White House. The dope funds
came reportedly from Bush
Family business partner, Carlos Lehder, co-founder
of the U.S./Colombia
medellin dope cartel. [Visit our website
story, "Chandra Levy Affair, Part
Two".] I discussed this on radio talk shows.
[8] As part of the targetting of the World
Trade Center buildings, a group
of surrogates for the Iraqi military officers,
reportedly spent considerable
time within one of the buildings, with building
security officers somehow
oblivious of their presence.
[9] As the CIA top officials were informed
and had prior knowledge, the
purpose of the "terrorist" attacks was to
effectively paralyze the financial
infrastructure of the U.S. Some of the most
important stock and bond houses
in the world, with their key people having
loads of inside knowledge and
hard to replace trading tricks and expertise,
were located in the
known-to-be-targetted twin towers of the
World Trade Center, New York City.
It was like blowing up the main "financial
factory" and destroying their
inventory. The so-called "back-up" records
kept parked across the river in
New Jersey, are not only inadequate but cannot
help reconstruct various
accounts and transactions in the works.
Financial experts tell us the "back up" records
parked in New Jersey, may
NOT be sufficient to re-start the American
financial apparatus. Some of the
experts are loudly grumbling that they should
have early on seen Federal
Reserve Czar Alan Greenspan on the television
explaining about the financial
ramifications. Of course, some suppose that
Americans would panic and run
out of control. So we are dealt with like
little children.
[10] It is a serious mistake, according to
savvy American and foreign
intelligence sources, to blame the Emergency
all on Osama bin Laden. As
readers of our website are aware, we have
long pointed out that bin Laden is
reportedly in the Mid-East Construction business.
His reputed partners? The
family of Sharon PERCY Rockefeller. She is
the wife of John D. Rockefeller
4th (D., W.Va.), great grandson of the founder
of the infamous Standard Oil
Trust that used to bomb their own obsolete
buildings to falsely blame onto
their competitors. Bin Laden's so-called
"secret" accounts, which the White
House has said they would like to freeze,
are or have been actually
reportedly in the Harris Bank, Chicago, joint
accounts with the family of
Sharon PERCY Rockefeller.
[11] The Saudi Royal Family actually consists
of some five thousand members,
some of whom actually are for the U.S. and
some anti-U.S. Some of them have
bankrolled Iraq's war against Iran, 1980
to 1988, to destroy some oil
facilities and keep the price of oil HIGH.
The foreign intelligence
agencies, that penetrated the plots to be
carried out on U.S. soil, are
aware that some of the Saudi royals are actually
sympathetic to the Iraqis
destroying the World Trade Center Buildings
and in part, wrecking the
Pentagon. [As if the American CIA did not
ALREADY have their own knowledge
of this.]
Whenever there is a political assassination
or some other unusual violent
event, what is the key question the oil-soaked,
spy-riddled monopoly press
ALWAYS fails to ask? WHO BENEFITS. With a
scandal about to break against
George W. Bush, he and his circle had an
interest NOT to stop these things
from happening. And to divert attention.
The White House has a strong motive
to silence critics and urge people TO RALLY
AROUND THE PRESIDENT.
Simple-minded folks, of course, often poorly
informed,do not understand how
the ruling classes would shed the blood of
thousands if not millions of
innocent people, in some instigated war,
to avoid dealing with the apparent
on-coming economic disasters.
In the midst of this prior-knowledge emergency,
who dares now to point to
the Bush Family as reputed business partners
of the major kingpin, Carlos
Lehder, of the U.S./Colombia medellin dope
cartel? Or how huge dope money
bought the Electoral College trick in Florida
and corrupted the U.S. Supreme
Court's "gang of five".
This is America's REICHSTAG fire. Adolph Hitler
burned down the German
parliament and falsely blamed his enemies
and had them rounded up and put in
the concentration camps. Has the U.S. Constitution
now been revoked? More
coming.
Stay tuned.

A U.S. Navy serviceman stationed on
an aircraft carrier called his
family in the United States well PRIOR
to Tuesday's horrendously
catastrophic events in New York City
and at the Pentagon, and ALERTED
THEM that "something big" was about
to go down in a major urban area!
Even MORE astounding: This person further
noted that the carrier was
being diverted from its previous mission
and was heading directly to the
East Coast as a result of the incident
that was going to occur!
Beyond the merest shadow of a doubt
this proves conclusively that
elements of the U.S. government's intelligence
and military sectors HAD
PRIOR KNOWLEDGE that a massive act
of terrorism/war was about to be
unleashed against America!
THEY KNEW! And now WE KNOW THEY KNEW!!
What's more: given the fact that according
to information made public in
the New York times on Oct. 28, 1993
it is PROVEN one FBI agent John
Anticev and bureau associates were
HEAVILY involved with Islamic
extremists in EVERY STAGE of the bombing
of the World trade Center in
1993, providing funds, equipment, supplies,
support and training to the
actual perpetrators, we have EVERY
REASON to believe the same state of
affairs exists regarding Tuesday's
mass atrocities in NYC and D.C.
The Bush Administration and the globalist/NWO
factions it's fronting for
NEEDED a massive, earthshaking act
of terrorism unleashed upon a major
U.S. metropolitan area, in order to
generate and galvanize support among
the people for implementation of martial
law conditions within the
territory of the United States, and
DRASTIC, SEVERE curtailment of
Constitutional rights and civil liberties.
The destruction, death and devastation
wrought in New York and D.C.
Tuesday are in EVERY WAY the BushMob's
"burning of the Reichstag."
Feds KNEW what was coming -- and what's
more, certain factions clearly
assisted, aided and abetted the actual
perpetrators of Tuesday's mass
carnage.
AGAIN: We now have solid proof, with
regard to the content of the call
made by the Navy serviceman to his
parents BEFORE Tuesday's events
unfolded, that some elements of the
federal government KNEW BEFOREHAND a
major terrorist incident was going
to occur!
The Bush Administration must be turned
out NOW. They are in EVERY WAY
RESPONSIBLE!

Bush's Press Conference: Into the Abyss
by Rick Rozoff
[Posted 12 September 2001]
http://emperors-clothes.com/articles/rozoff/abyss.htm
[Mr. Rozoff is an editor of Emperor's Clothes]
=======================================
As many of you have, I just watched US President
Bush's White House press conference on yesterday's
gruesome events in New York City and Washington, D.C.
Bush and the United States federal government have
officially declared war...only it is not evident
against whom.
Subsequent reports indicate that Bush will appear
before the U.S. Congress to invoke the War Powers Act,
passed by the House in the 1970s to limit a
president's ability to wage war unilaterally and
arbitrarily, but destroyed as an effective mechanism
for doing so in April of 1999 when the Clinton
Administration, for the first time in US history, was
denied authorization to continue a war - against
Yugoslavia - in a 213-213 vote in the Congress. Within
an hour of that vote a Clinton National Security
Council spokesman was on national television shrieking
that not only would the bombing not stop, but that it
would be intensified.
By the US Congress accepting that crude diktat and
nevertheless appropriating funding for the
continuation of the illegal war, it definitively
signalled the end of the US Constitutional role of
America's formal representatives to oversee and rein
in the chief executive - half a president, half a
monarch - in future acts of illegal miitary actions
and aggression abroad.
It appears that each successive American
administration pushes yet further the boundaries of
armed adventurism and catastrophe.
As all the news commentators assure us, Bush will
receive near-unanimous carte blanche authorization to
wage war whenever, wherever and against whomever he
finds it expedient to do so.
The US Congress, Republicans and Democrats,
conservatives and liberals, avowed war hawks and
alleged Progressive Caucus members, will grant him
whatever he requests: The funds and support to attack
any country or countries, even those not even remotely
implicated in yesterday's attacks, and the use of
whatever weaponry, conventional and otherwise, he
should choose to employ.
What in fact Mr. Bush will soon be armed with - by
that assemblage of professional politicians on the
Hill who yesterday evening broke into a spontaneous
chorus of God Bless America, right out of the closing
scene of the revanchist Hollywood film, The Deer
Hunter - is an unlimited, permanent blank check to
wage la guerre eternal - war without end.
The White House, with none of the fictitious foreign
policy fissures we've heard so much about, and its
diehard loyalists on both sides of the Congressional
aisle, have been evoking the specter of Osama bin
Laden to rally hateful and revengeful public sentiment
and to personify the oft-repeated *evil* that
threatens the United States and, to quote the
president, "all democratic and freedom-loving people"
- no other of whom, it should be noted, seems to be on
the alleged hit list of Mr. bin Laden.
Furthermore, and ominously, Bush threatens not only to
attack - recall this is in his words a state of war -
the actual perpetrators of yesterday's attacks
(whomever they may be), but "their harbors." Not those
who allegedly harbor them, but their harbors.
To be consistent, which is to say honest, Bush, as his
legion of intelligence operatives could readily tell
him, would have to identify who has and still is
supporting the villain of this dangerous melodrama,
Osama bin Laden.
Bin Laden worked hand in glove with the US Central
Intelligence Agency since the early 1980s in
establishing his Maktab al-Khidamar network, which
raised money and recruited jehadis - the so-called
Afghan Arabs, estimated to be some 10,000 strong - to
overthrow the secular Democratic Republic of
Afghanistan.
He was a joint asset of the CIA and Pakistan's
Inter-Service Intelligence, which the Afghan Northern
Opposition, Russia and India insist still supports and
controls him and his current Al-Qaida operation. The
latter is supported by Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the
United Arab Emirates...all three loyal US and British
clients regimes and recipients of Anglo-American
military protection and largesse. So if Bush is
looking for harbors to bomb, he knows where they are
located.
He also knows where they are not.
And where and who they are not are the likely targets:
Iraq, Syria, Libya and Iran.
All four are not only not linked to bin Laden in any
conceivable manner, but instead are vocal opponents of
him and his activities; are in fact potential victims
of the same.
An audio voice-over somehow got on an American
television network yesterday that said: Bin Laden, who
has assisted forces in Somalia, Bosnia, Chechnya and
Kosovo....
The link has never been broken, of course, and the
CIA's Frankenstein monster still serves its purposes.

1) While Washington points to Osama bin Laden as
"suspect # 1" in yesterday's horrific violence, the
truth is not being told to the American people:

2) If one looks carefully, one can find in the Western
media evidence that bin Laden has been involved - on
the U.S.-backed side - in Kosovo, Bosnia and now
Macedonia.
3) Bin Laden was propelled into power as part of the
