Iraq

The essay about Iraq is now split off into its own page.

Introduction

I saw Barrie Zwicker's Vision TV documentary The Great Deception, What really happened on Sept. 11. Ever since I have been mulling over a number of peculiar facts in my mind. The only way I can make sense of them is if I presume George Bush Jr. himself was behind the 911 attacks. This sounds so utterly preposterous, I want to dismiss it, yet I can find no other way of explaining the facts.

The Andrew Johnson Analogy

What if historians discovered that President Andrew Johnson, Lincoln's successor, had the following links with John Wilkes Booth, Lincoln's assassin?
  1. What if ten years earlier, Johnson's father had hired and trained Booth as a spy/hit man?
  2. What if Johnson's father had been implicated in an assassination attempt on President Franklin Pierce, when he was vice president?
  3. What if Booth's and Johnson's fathers were business partners at the time of the assassination?
  4. What if Johnson sent his secret service men to meet with John Wilkes Booth on Sunday 1865 February 5, 72 days prior to 1865 April 14 when Lincoln was assassinated. Even though was an outstanding warrant for Booth's arrest, they did not arrest him.
  5. What if Johnson arranged meetings for all the cabinet during the week prior to the assassination with the man who gave Booth his gun collection, ammunition and get-away horse?
  6. What if Johnson ordered the chief of police to stop a criminal investigation of Booth and his family just prior to the assassination?
  7. What if Johnson provided a carriage for the Booth extended family to leave the area a few days before the assassination?
  8. What if Johnson did nothing to stop the assassination, even though he saw Booth drawing his pistol?
  9. What if Johnson ordered Lincoln's bodyguard to throw down his weapon, allowing Booth to continue with the assassination unimpeded?
  10. What if Johnson kept watching the Ford Theatre play, laughing and smiling, both during and immediately after the assassination?
  11. What if Johnson appointed a business associate of Booth's to head the assassination investigation?
  12. What if after six months of fruitless "searching" for Booth, Johnson gave up the chase?
    "The most important thing is for us to find John Wilkes Booth. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him."
    ~ Andrew Johnson, 1884-04-17

    "I don't know where he is. I have no idea and I really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
    ~ Andrew Johnson, 1885-10-16
  13. What if a little after a year, Johnson suddenly changed his mind and instead suddenly accused a black man, Soddy Hussem, of murdering Lincoln and lynched him without providing a scrap of evidence, then declared the case closed.

Do you think historians would have painted as rosy a picture of President Andrew Johnson as his contemporaries did?

You might ask, why am I babbling about hypothetical evidence against a perfectly reputable, long-dead, president. I did this to try to sneak past your mental defenses against thinking any ill of the Bush family. Most people are so convinced president Bush is a man of honour that they dismiss every piece of evidence to the contrary as irrelevant. They don't dispute it. They just dismiss it as an unimportant tatter of a crazy conspiracy theory. I decided to mildly disguise the evidence against George Bush Jr., to sneak it past your natural denial. If that sort of evidence would be enough to convict Andrew Johnson in the eyes of history, then surely it should be enough to trigger an investigation into the activities of the living George Bush Jr.

In Preparation

"An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it."
~ Mohandas Gandhi
If you read this page and the other pages on this website that this page links to and also the offsite links it points to, it will utterly shatter your faith in the American government. The men in power are more evil than your worst nightmares. This is not new. It is just that the Internet has made it easier to expose the corruption that routinely goes on in high places and passes unnoticed. If you are normal, you will close your eyes and say "That is just too awful. It could not possibly be true." You may dismiss my sources. I urge you to use google.ca to do your own checking on any point you think is doubtful. That is the only way to hear both sides of the story. There are usually hundreds of sources for each fact. I have typically provided at most one source. If you don't like mine, check out to see if a source you do trust confirms or denies my assertion. If you chase all the links you will eventually find the source of any fact I have asserted here. I am just now going back and adding sources to each individual assertion. Again, I urge you to do your own research. Don't rely on just one source. With google it is easy, just a few keywords will bring up hundreds of articles you can evaluate for yourself.

It is scary when you begin to realise that the people in charge are murderers and thieves without conscience. You feel like a traitor for even entertaining such notions. You feel afraid that if you hold such notions you too will be in danger. It takes courage to follow logic rather than the herd.

"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice."
~ Albert Einstein

In a Nutshell

  1. Speaking metaphorically, Bush Jr. slept with the enemy, before, during and after 9-11.
  2. Speaking metaphorically, the arsonists (bin Laden & friends) had a dozen meetings with the building owner (Bush Jr.) before the fire (9-11).
  3. Bush Sr. and bin Laden Sr. are business partners from way back. They both still work together for defence contractor Carlyle Group.
  4. bin Laden met with CIA bigwigs 72 days prior to 911 in Dubai in a hospital. They did not arrest him.
  5. Bush asked the FBI to stop its investigation of the bin Laden family prior to 9-11.
  6. In the week prior to 9-11 all of Bush's cabinet met with Mahmud Ahmad, the Pakistani ISI head of security, the man who is fingered in bankrolling bin Laden by wiring to $100,000 to the lead highjacker Mohamed Atta. The instant the first plane hit on 9-11 hit Mahmud Ahmad was having breakfast with Representative Porter Goss, R-Sanibel, Senator Bob Graham (D-Florida) and other members of the House Intelligence Committee.
  7. As 9-11 unfolded, according to the CBC's Fifth Estate, Bush Sr. dined with bin Laden's brother, Shafig bin Laden at the Ritz Carlton hotel.
  8. As 9-11 unfolded, Bush holed up with a bunch of children reading them a story about a pet goat. All planes were ordered to land. No planes were scrambled. Bush did not give the order to fire until after 9-11 was over.
  9. bin Laden conveniently left a confession tape behind in Afghanistan and made other public pronouncements of his guilt.
  10. The head German security said Al-Qaeda could not possibly have pulled it off. It was far beyond their capability.
  11. Bush appointed Thomas Kean as 9-11 investigator. He has business ties with the bin Laden family.
  12. Bush invaded Afghanistan without showing any evidence either bin Laden or Afghanistan had anything to do with 9-11. He continues to occupy Afghanistan under a new dictator, Unocal's Hamid Karzai, and they are building a Unocal pipeline through Afghanistan (which is what I originally predicted the war was really all about.) The people are no better off. They have the exact same nightmares, with the addition of rape gangs. To top it off, Afghanistan is now #1 in the world in heroin exporting due to a complete lack of drug enforcement. It would cost only $20 million to totally shut down the heroin trade, but Bush Inc. Red Ink has allowed a staggering 3000 tons to be exported. Bush is now the biggest heroin pusher in America, reviving the drug trade the Taliban had shut down.
  13. Bush tries to confuse the American public making them think bin Laden and Saddam Hussein are one and the same. This way he can punish Saddam and let bin Laden off free.
What are you to make of all this?

It seems that if bin Laden is guilty, then so is Bush. Bush helped whomever did 9-11 by making sure none of the four planes were shot down.

I suspect that bin Laden is just a CIA operative, doing his job.

The Most Damning Evidence

To my mind, the most damning evidence against Bush Jr. is this:

Bush Jr. read a children's story aloud about a pet goat throughout the entire unfolding of 9-11. There were four hijacked planes, two towers hit, and he still kept reading the story. He did not monitor what was going on. He did not order any action. He did not even get himself to a safe location. I know this story is true because I have him on video tape. I bought a copy of the video showing this from Vision TV. The footage is also available in QuickTime format at The Memory Hole. Keep in mind when this video was shot, one tower was already hit. Unfortunately, that Memory Hole video does not catch Card whispering in Bush's ear. It just shows him carrying on as if nothing happened. Nero played the violin while Rome burned. Bush Jr. read a children's story while New York burned.

Now how do you interpret this?

I agree there are many ways to interpret his inaction, but it seems every possible interpretation should be sufficient to impeach Bush Jr.. Unfortunately, that fact alone is insufficient for impeachment. We have to determine which particular explanation actually applies.

Well, Mr. Bush Jr., what is your explanation? I think you owe the country one. You have been strangely silent. Can't your spinmeisters come up with anything?

Why Did George Bush Jr. Lie About When He Was First Told Of The Attacks?

The official story, reiterated in the May 31 TIME Magazine, was that Bush Jr. was first told during his interview with the children, just after the second plane hit. It seem odd the president was one of the last Americans to find out about it. I thought he had a team of advisors, and the most expensive communications equipment in the world, to keep him right on top of this sort of thing.

However, it appears he was acting. News reporters talked to him right after the first hit, asking "have you just heard what just happened in New York" to which he replied "yes". Later, as reported in a White House website transcript he answered a question from a student named Jordan, where he tells a rather silly story of seeing the first plane hit on TV, and thinking the pilot must not be very good.

That is an odd story. There was no video of the first hit on TV until September 12. Did Bush Jr. view footage taken by his own TV crew?

Bush Jr. lied at least one of those three times. Why?

Why Was Mr. Bush Jr. Left Out in the Open?

Mr. Bush Jr. was at a publicly announced event at the time of the attacks. One would think it prudent for him to head for cover on hearing of the attacks. Yet he carried on as if he knew he were in absolutely no danger. How could he know that? He was unafraid of the attackers, as if he knew their specific plans, and that they meant him no harm. How could this be unless he was in on the planning?

Why Did No Planes Scramble?

It is routine procedure after 3.5 minutes unable to establish to radio contact, or when a plane deviates from its flight plan to call in the military. There will be a plane up to investigate within 15 minutes. The flight controller does this all on this own. He does not need the president's approval.

Yet the first plane was in the air for a hour without any action to stop it. Dozens of flight controllers would have seen the renegade planes, yet none ordered planes scrambled? Really?

Andrews air force base is home to a squadron of F16s and FA18s. It is only 12 miles from the Whitehouse. One of its main functions is to protect Washington. Yet it sent up no planes until the evening.

You would think everyone would be on high alert after the first plane hit for the second and third planes. Yet again, no planes were scrambled to investigate or intercept them. Somebody had to have ordered them not to. Bush Jr. surely had the power to override whoever blocked the scramble, but for some reason did not. He just meekly stood there and let the planes crash into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon -- hardly the actions of a hard drinkin', tough ridin' Texan.

I have asked various people who disagreed with this interpretation of events how they countered. Here are the arguments they came up with.

Why did Bush Jr. Take No Action Despite Repeated Warnings?

Russia, the Philippines, Israel, France, Germany, Morocco, Jordan and the CIA all warned the president, but he did nothing, not even order heavy doors on aircraft or warn the airlines.

What Was The Fascination With the Goat?

Bush Jr. could easily have cancelled the meeting with the school children to deal with the emergency, but he went ahead. Andy Card told him of the second hit during the meeting. He continued to talk with a girl about her pet goat. He did not seem in the least disturbed. He was like Nero fiddling while Rome burned. Another possibility is that he was stoned on some drug, possibly alcohol (note his red nose in recent photos), and was incapable of dealing with anything more challenging than a goat.

Even in that case, you would have expected his handlers to whisk him off and tell him what to do. They, too, seemed utterly nonchalant, as though they were expecting the event and knew they were in no personal danger.

I have a video of the incident where Bush Jr. ostensibly first heard of the attacks. I have watched it over and over. Two things strike me:

It almost looks as if Bush Jr. were building an excuse for himself for inaction. Reading a story about a pet goat for 20 minutes to the school children while the World Trade center burned, was designed to give the impression he had no inkling of what was happening. Nearly everyone in America knew what was happening. Surely Bush Jr.'s aides did too. To me it is inconceivable they would not have briefed him.

Holes In The Official Story

You have probably read elsewhere about the thousands of inconsistencies in the official story. Much of it is physical evidence such as the improbability of the tower collapse, the wrong size hole in the Pentagon, the undamaged Pentagon lawn, the impossibility of making cell phone calls from an airplane, the lack of bodies, etc.

The most outrageous conspiracy theory of all to explain it is Bush's -- that a bunch of penniless Afghan sheep herders living in caves did it.

So What Does This Mean?

I have to take it to mean that Bush Jr. either did not care if planes crashed into buildings or that he wanted them to. It sounds preposterous, but how else can you explain his dozy behaviour?

Bin Laden Did It?

Immediately, Bush Jr. announced that Osama Bin Laden did it. Yet he refused to offer any evidence in the extradition hearing in Afghanistan. I can see not divulging the whole case, but surely some evidence should have been given to the American people. The odd thing is Bin Laden used to work for the CIA, which was headed by George Bush Jr. senior. Further, George Bush Jr. senior and Bin Laden senior were business partners. The only evidence presented giving any link was the mysteriously indestructible passport that survived the flames perfectly intact that consumed even the flight recorder. George Bush Jr. basically said "Trust me I know who did it. I will try the bad guys in secret tribunals so the public will never hear the evidence. In fact, even history will never know. National security, you see." If it is so obvious who the bad guys are, why not open trials? It sounds like a frame up. Bush Jr. is trying to direct guilt away from himself by framing someone else, yet strangely offering zero evidence!

Then a month later, miraculously, a video tape shows up with bin Laden confessing. I see three possible explanations:

  1. Extraordinary luck requiring three unlikely occurrences:
    1. bin Laden created the tape.
    2. bin Laden left it lying around.
    3. American soldiers found it.
  2. The tape was a fake. It took a month to create.
  3. bin Laden was still on the CIA payroll and made the tape at their request.
  4. Bin Laden wanted the tape to be found, so seeded hundreds of copies of it.

Links Between Bush and the Terrorists

Unlike most people, I am not so sure bin Laden masterminded 9-11. The only evidence I have seen that he did is Bush's say so, yet nothing else Bush has ever told me was true. Further, Bush tried to pass off a counterfeit video tape made by the Israeli Mossad where bin Laden confessed to 9-11. In cop shows, whoever frames someone is always the real culprit.

There are a suspicious number of links between Bush and the terrorists. Their chumminess demands an explanation, and none has been forthcoming. Let's look at them:

  1. George Bush Sr. and bin Laden Sr. were business partners.
  2. The bin Laden family financed George Bush Jr.'s early failed businesses. From their generous contributions, even though the companies failed, George was still able to live high on the hog. According to the book Fortunate Son bin Laden money, invested via James Bath, enabled George to get hooked on cocaine. He was busted in 1972 but got off with community service at Project P.U.L.L. a project for troubled black youth. In 1995, his father arranged to have the record purged and his son to get a new drivers' license number.
  3. George Bush Sr. and the bin Laden family are on the board of the Carlyle Group, a large defense contractor.
  4. The respected French daily le Figaro owned by the Carlyle Group which employs George Bush Sr., reported that Osama bin Laden underwent treatment 72 days prior to 9-11 at the American Hospital in Dubai, he met a senior CIA official. He was not arrested even though he was internationally wanted. Radio France corroborated the story.
  5. According to the University of Ottawa Professor Michel Choussodvsky in his essay Cover-up or Complicity of the Bush Administration?, in the week prior to 9-11 all of Bush's cabinet met with Mahmud (sometimes spelt Mahmoud) Ahmad, the Pakistani ISI head of security, the man who is fingered in bankrolling bin Laden by wiring $100,000 to the lead highjacker Muhamed Atta. During the week before 9-11, Ahmad met with nearly all of the top people in Bush's administration. The instant the first plane hit on 9-11 hit Mahmud Ahmad was having breakfast with Representative Porter Goss, R-Sanibel, Senator Bob Graham D-Florida and other members of the House Intelligence Committee. Ahmad's punishment for his role was being given early retirement according to the Times of India 2001-10-09.
  6. Bush claimed to have seen images of the first tower hit before any video had been released. What was he talking about? Did he see some simulation videos?
  7. George Bush Jr. arranged for the bin Laden family to escape the USA by private jet when everyone else was still under lockdown. The bin Laden family were asked no questions. The bin Laden family have publicly renounced the black sheep Osama, but still talk to him on the phone and still give him large sums of money.
  8. According to Time Magazine 2002-12
    Revelations that charitable donations by Bandar's wife Princess Haifa al-Faisal were sent to associates of associations of two Sept. 11 highjackers had some Congressmen questioning Saudi Arabia's commitment to the war on terrorism.
    The "donation" was $140,000 according the the Village Voice. Prince Bandar is the Saudi Ambassador to the USA. Bush calls him "Bandar Bush" and has been a close personal friend for many years. Bush parties with him. He is a charming member of the decadent Saudi royal family, and these guys make Michael Jackson look normal. Child rape is standard party entertainment among Saudi royals.
If it were me with this many links to the terrorists, I would be rotting in Gitanamo. If it were Clinton, he would by lynched. But because it is Bush, people pretend not to notice. I think before too much more money is wasted chasing phantom terrorists, it would be wise to interrogate Bush under oath to find out just what he knows. He seems to be on intimate terms with the reputed perpetrators.

The Motives

"Cui prodest scelus, is fecit."
"The one who derives advantage from the crime is the one most likely to have committed it."
Seneca
Motive does not prove guilt, but it points to the suspects. What possible benefit could George Bush Jr. get from a plane flying into the World Trade Center? Who else benefitted from 9-11?

Why Would Anyone Want An Excuse To Invade/Occupy Afghanistan?

There is 4 trillion dollar answer to this question. It will take a bit of background to explain.

The petroleum era is coming to an end. According to Harry J. Longwell, an Executive Vice-President and Director of Exxon-Mobil, writing in World Energy v.5 No 3 of 2002, confirmed that the discovery of oil peaked in the the-mid 1960s. The rate of discovery is now one tenth what it was.

"Discovery peaked 30 years ago. It takes no feat of the imagination. It takes no feat of intellect to conclude we now face the corresponding peak in production."
~ Geologist Gordon Campbell
addressing the British House of Commons.
Petroleum production has peaked and is now declining. The decline, according to Scientific American, will be rapid. By the year 2020 oil production will have dropped to half what it is now. Demand will turn the remaining black gold to platinum. Some of the main remaining oil reserves are concentrated around the Caspian sea. American oil interests would like a pipeline through Afghanistan to bring the approximately 4 trillion dollars (even at today's prices) of Caspian oil to tankers. It is vitally important that America have access to that last pocket of oil.

When I first posted my pipeline motivation for the Afghan invasion, shortly after 9-11, nearly everyone called me crazy. However, history has proved me correct. Bush Jr.'s one accomplishment in Afghanistan, it turned out, was the one thing he promised that he would never do. On Dec. 26, Karzai met with the president of Turkmenistan and the foreign minister of Pakistan to work out the final details of the $3.2 billion Trans-Afghanistan Pipeline Bush Jr.'s friends had sworn would never be built.

However, also since that time, extensive research conducted by FTW has shown that Caspian reserves have been verified by drilling results over the last three years to be only around 40 billion barrels and are a major disappointment. The Afghanistan war did not have nearly the payback hoped.

"Currently, the [Afghanistan] pipeline is a go-project thanks to the junta's [Bush/Cheney's] installation of a Unocal employee (John J. Maresca) as US envoy to the newly born democracy whose president, Hamid Karzai, is also, according to Le Monde, a former employee of a Unocal subsidiary. Conspiracy? Coincidence!"
~ Gore Vidal
It is obvious from his cabinet choices who George Walker Bush Jr. really works for, and it is not America. Bush Jr. himself founded an oil company Arbusto Energy. He was a former shareholder of the oil company Spectrum 7 Energy. He was the former director of Harken Oil and Gas. His father, George Herbert Walker Bush Sr. is from the Carlyle Group, Dick Cheney from Halliburton Oil (whose customers included Unocal, Exxon, Shell and Chevron, plus Saddam Hussein, Colonel Muammar Gadaffi and Ayatollah Ali Khomeini), Dan Evans from Colorado Oil, Zalmai Khalilzad from Unocal, Condoleeza Rice from the board of Chevron where she was their expert of Kazakhstan. Chevron even named a 129,000 ton oil tanker after her. Steven J. Griles was a lobbyist for Occidental Petroleum. Donald Evans Secretary of Commerce was CEO of Donald Brown Oil. Donald Rumsfeld acts as if he were honourary CEO of Occidental Petroleum. You get the picture.

About the only cabinet member without connections to big oil or big tobacco is Paul Wolfowitz, Deputy Secretary of Defense. PNAC Richard Perle, of the Defense Policy board, is implicated it taking bribes from Boeing to secure a military contract. He was forced to resign as chairman in an earlier scandal.

To them, assuring access to this supply of oil, and the trillions in profits for American oil companies, is easily worth a few thousands of American lives. Without that oil, America will no longer be a world power. It is just that the average American citizen is too stupid to realise that. They have to be tricked into going to war.

In a similar way, America wants control of Iraq's oil fields. It can use terrorism as an excuse to annex them.

The potential profits are astronomical. In the last gasps of the petroleum age, gasoline will be hundreds of dollars a gallon, yet it will cost little more to produce than it does now. People have murdered family members for considerably less money.

Note how America has continued to occupy Afghanistan long after any threat from the Taliban has been squashed. Why are they doing this if not to protect their access to Iranian oil and to protect the pipeline corridor?

Note how Bush Jr. keeps offering lame excuse after lame excuse to invade Iraq. Comedian Bill Maher lampooned him on them. Bush Jr. has not the balls to tell the truth. He wants free Iraqi oil for his constituency, the oil companies.

What Bush Jr. should be doing instead if he had America's interests at heart instead of Harken's would be to reduce her dependence on foreign oil, ratify Kyoto, and get on with converting to new clean sources of energy the way the Japanese are.

Has There Ever Been Anything Like This Before?

In the Kennedy era, there was a CIA plan called Operation Northwoods, whose job was to trick the American public into supporting a war with Cuba. Among the plans included faking a plane crash, and blaming John Glenn's death on the Cubans if his first flight failed, using falsified evidence.

Working back in history ...

The daughter of the Kuwait ambassador made a tearful video telling how Iraqi soldiers had thrown newborn babies on the floor and stolen their incubators. It was a complete fabrication. This helped fuel the emotional justification for the US invading Iraq.

In 1967, Israelis blew up American ships, including the USS LIberty and blamed it on the Arabs, hoping to gain sympathy to their cause.

FDR failed to pass on a warning about the Pearl Harbour attack, knowing it would be sufficient to anger Americans into joining the war.

Nazis burned down the Reichstag (the German parliament) and blamed it on those opposed to war, and used it as a pretext to arrest all dissenters. See this video on the parallels between Bush and Hitler.

Some claim Churchill sacrificed the Lusitania to persuade America to join WW I.

Some claim the Maine was sunk and blamed on the Spanish to justify the Spanish-American war.

You can even follow these frauds back to the time of the Caesars.

Collusion

The US Federal government tells us that Mohammad Atta attended International Officers School at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Ala. In addition Abdulaziz Alomari attended Aerospace Medical School at Brooks Air Force Base in Texas and Saeed Alghamadihas went to the Defense Language Institute in Monterrey, California.

Just how did these suspected terrorists get clearance to attend military and intelligence related facilities inside the US?

The Vreeland 9-11 Warning

According to some, Delmart "Mike" Vreeland, an American navy man, gave Canadian government officials a letter prior to 9-11 warning of the coming 9-11 attack:

"The initial strike or attack, will be started at the WTC on 2001-09-11, by our brothers in faith...If everything goes as planned the attack will work. After Americans, who undoubtedly will think that Osama is to be blamed and will start a war with his group..."

The notes listed a number of potential terrorist targets including the Sears Towers, World Trade Center, White House, and Pentagon; as well as the phrase, "Let one happen. Stop the rest!!"

Mike Ruppert has a great deal more to say on Vreeland. Others such as Ron Anicich claim Mike Vreeland was a fraud perpetrated for who knows why, exposed by a judge. I have not delved into it enough to have an opinion. I consider it is a side issue, that can wait till later to be resolved.

Bush Knew

Even if you find it too hard to swallow that Bush was complicit in 9-11, you can't deny he knew it was coming. Bush claimed 9-11 came out of the blue with no warning. Yet France, Germany, Russia all claim they sent him warnings. On 9-11, the CIA was running a simulation of a 9-11-like event. How can Bush possibly claim it never occurred to anyone airliners could be used as missiles?

In her testimony before the 9-11 commission, Condolezza Rice backpedaled and now admits Bush did know such an attack was coming, but he did not know the precise details of when and where.

The Response

Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.
Bertrand Russell

Bush Jr.'s response to 9-11 is not really a war on terrorism. Bush Jr. himself says he does not even care where bin Laden is.

I don't know where he is. I have no idea and I really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority. ~ George W. Bush Jr. 2002-03-13

It is about the oil.

It is about the oil.

It is about the oil, both in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The Defense Department claims 12 nations with nuclear weapons programs, 13 with biological weapons, 16 with chemical weapons, and 28 with ballistic missiles as existing and emerging threats to the United States. But only one of those countries sits atop the second largest oil reserves in the world. [Iraq]
~ Charles Peña, Senior Defense Policy Fellow of the Cato Institute, for The Chicago Tribune

The following chart explains American foreign policy and its so-called war on terrorism.

Go back to 1963 when Lyndon Johnson was president. The CIA, under John McCone, installed Saddam Hussein as dictator of Iraq #2 because a previous dictator had done the very naughty thing of nationalising two companies.

Saddam Hussein is a bastard. But he is America's bastard. He worked for the CIA. Lots of the world's bastards work for the CIA. They are all traitors to their own countries. No wonder they have a nasty habit of turning on the USA too.

The USA wanted control of Iran's oil #5. In the ensuing scuffle, the Iranians took hostages and Reagan survived the Irangate arms-for-hostages scandal.

Kuwait #4 and Iraq #2 were having a dispute. Kuwait was siphoning off Iraq's oil by diagonally drilling into Iraq. Saddam Hussein, like good CIA boy, asked permission from the USA to invade Kuwait. US Ambassador April Glaspie said it would not intervene. Then it did. That was Bush Sr. and the Gulf war I.

What was the result? The USA gained control of Kuwait's oil and almost gained control of Iraq's oil through its treachery/altruism.

Then came 9-11. Bush Jr. claims bin Laden did it and that the bin Laden was hiding in Afghanistan. He refused to show evidence to anyone for either claim. The US invaded Afghanistan and is still occupying it. Note that Afghanistan is not on the top ten list. If it is really about the oil, why bother occupying Afghanistan? -- for the Caspian sea pipeline I mentioned earlier.

Even though the hijackers were Saudis #1 and Bush Jr. claimed to have proof the Saudi bin Laden did it, suddenly he decided that Iraq #2 was the new terrorist problem. UN inspectors found nothing. Bush Jr. again refused to show anyone, not even the inspectors, his evidence that Iraq was a threat. Bush Jr. then announced a $1.9 trillion dollar first strike invasion of Iraq. (In the last one, the US had the pretext of going to Kuwait's rescue.) Surely Bush Jr. will succeed this time and gain control of Iraq's oil where Bush Sr. failed. Bush Sr.'s budget was a paltry $200 billion.

In the meantime, the CIA is playing its usual games destabilising the government in Venezuela, #6 on the list.

There are stories floating around that Saddam is hiding in Libya #8. The average American in the street thinks this is sufficient justification for a nuclear first strike on Libya. That might damage the oil, but an regular invasion on that pretext would give control of Libya's oil #8.

The really fat plum is Saudi Arabia, #1. However Bush Jr. dare not invade Saudi Arabia because it contains the holy great black stone, the Ka'ba in Mecca. If he did that he would have 2 billion Muslims down his neck with religious zealotry fueling them. Bush Sr. got in hot water just for having planes in the country with Saudi permission.

So instead Bush Jr. has to get Saudi oil by propping up the decadent (I mean really really decadent decadence that you can't even buy in America) royal family and the wealthy Saudi bin Laden family. (Bush Sr. was business partners with bin Laden Sr.) bin Laden Jr. worked for the CIA and the French secret service reported him meeting with CIA big wigs in a hospital a mere 72 days prior to 9-11, and were so annoyed that the CIA did not arrest him, that they leaked the information to the Paris newspaper Le Figaro which published it.

I remind you again that Bush Jr.'s cabinet has almost nobody in it except "ex" oil executives.

Is this not enough make you suspicious oil had something to do with Bush Jr.'s "war on terrorism" with his coming first strike (euphemistically called preemptive) war where no one can produce any evidence at all that it is even remotely justified? All you have is a politician's word on it.

Q. How do you know what a politician is lying?
A. His lips move.

All war is deception.
~ Sun Tzu

Quotes

"Mohammed Heikal is a brilliant Egyptian journalist-observer, and sometime Foreign Minister. On 2001-10-10, he said to the Guardian: 'Bin Laden does not have the capabilities for an operation of this magnitude. When I hear Bush talking about al-Qaeda as if it were Nazi Germany or the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, I laugh because I know what is there. Bin Laden has been under surveillance for years: every telephone call was monitored and al-Qaeda has been penetrated by US intelligence, Pakistani intelligence, Saudi intelligence, Egyptian intelligence. They could not have kept secret an operation that required such a degree of organisation and sophistication."
~ Gore Vidal
"The former president of Germany's domestic intelligence service, Eckehardt Werthebach (American Free Press, 2001-12-04) spells it out. The 9/11 attacks required 'years of planning' while their scale indicates that they were a product of 'state-organised actions'. There it is. Perhaps, after all, Bush Jnr was right to call it a war. But which state attacked us?"
~ Gore Vidal
"If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."
~ James Madison, while a United States Congressman
"Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away."
~ Elvis Presley
"As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air however slight lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness."
~ William O. Douglas, Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court
"What will die is the fantasy of the UN as the foundation of a new world order...the liberal conceit of safety through international law administered by international institutions."
~ Richard Perle, chairman of Bush Jr.'s defence policy board.
The US should rule the world unilaterally in Perle's view.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
~ Hermann Goering, President of the Reichstag, Nazi Party, and Luftwaffe Commander in Chief
"The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
~ Joseph Goebbels, German Minister of Propaganda, 1933-1945
"The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force."

"The art of leadership. . . consists in consolidating the attention of the people against a single adversary and taking care that nothing will split up that attention."

"All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach."

"What luck for rulers that men do not think."

"The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, for the vast masses of the nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad. The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell a big one."
~ Adolf Hitler

Scary isn't it. Where else could the Republicans be getting their ideas from?

Psychosis

"Beyond policy concerns, Bush's comments raise questions about whether Bush may suffer from what psychiatrists call a narcissistic personality disorder. This disorder has the following characteristics: arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes; sense of entitlement; preoccupation with grandiose fantasies; need for excessive admiration; a grandiose sense of self-importance; inability to recognize or identify with feelings of others; exploitation of others; and envy."
~ Sam Parry, The Bush Exit Ramp
"I'm the commander -- see, I don't need to explain -- I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation. "
George Bush Jr.

as reported in the Washington Post

Distraction

Without bin Laden, the Bush junta would still be trying to explain such tricky matters as how it came to be elected in the first place; Enron; its shameless favouring of the already-too-rich; its reckless disregard for the world's poor, the ecology and a raft of unilaterally abrogated international treaties.
~ John le Carré
Bush Jr. held a war in Afghanistan and is planning one in Iraq to distract the population from looking too closely at his 9-11 shenanigans and his domestic record and to boost his popularity rankings. Much of the public is all gung ho, treating it like some theatrical spectacular. This reminds me of Mark Twain's War Prayer.

Bush has a dismal domestic record, e.g. the highest deficits of any president in history coupled with tax cuts where 43% of the money goes to the wealthiest 1% of the people. War and panic temporarily stop people from looking at the domestic scene. Oddly Bush finds time, even on the eve of World War III, to pass legislation to allow banned pesticides to be used on golf courses. War is a smokescreen to distract the public while he sneaks by unpopular legislation. Bill Moyers compiled an astounding list of such legislation.

"We can have a democratic society or we can have the concentration of wealth in the hands of the few. We cannot have both."
~ Louis Brandeis, Supreme Court Justice from 1916-1939

Drug Abuse

George Bush Jr. is an alcoholic. He claims he gave up drinking in 1986 at age 39 when Billy Graham convinced him. This is an obvious lie. You can see this video of him plastered six years later at a 1992 wedding poking fun at people who don't drink. He spends more time "on holiday" than any other president in history, during which time he is not photographed or seen. If he is bingeing, he is in no state to deal with a terrorist emergency.

According to the book Fortunate Son, bin Laden money, invested via James Bath, enabled George to get hooked on cocaine. He was earlier busted for cocaine in 1972 but got off with community service at Project P.U.L.L. a project for troubled black youth. In 1995, his father arranged to have the record purged and his son to get a new drivers' license number. Like Margie Schoedinger who accused Bush of rape, the author of Fortunate Son, James Hatfield, was found in a public washroom with bullet in his brain, ruled by the authorities a suicide.

When questioned about his cocaine use, Bush said publicly he was not prepared to discuss any drug use in his past over 30 years ago on the grounds it might encourage youth to indiscretion. That is doubletalk. There are only two honest answers to the question, yes which would encourage youth to drug use, and no, which would not. Therefore, it seems to me the president has already confessed publicly for all practical purposes, at least to anyone trained in mathematics or logic.

Bush claims voices told him to invade Afghanistan and Iraq. He has cokehead-like delusions of grandeur that this was God Himself talking to him, despite John 5:37. Cocaine dictating foreign policy is national suicide. Jeffrey Tucker discusses this in his essay.

There is so such thing as an ex-alcoholic, only a recovering alcoholic, and there is no such thing as an ex-cocaine addict, only a recovering cocaine addict. Mandatory drug testing for the president and his staff is far more justified than for filing clerks, even if just to protect against that form of terrorist attack.

Dr. Henry Strangelove Kissinger

Dr. Kissinger, wanted war criminal, winner of the Nobel peace prize, Nixon adviser, leader of project paperclip to help the Nazis escape from Germany, ... This man was originally in charge of the 9-11 investigation. Even the ultra-right John Birch society thought the idea is ludicrous. He resigned on 2002-12-13.

The man is a war criminal -- wanted for questioning in Chile, Argentina and France (concerning French citizens who disappeared in Chile). He cannot travel to Britain, Brazil and many other countries because they cannot guarantee his immunity from legal proceedings.

on depopulation

"Depopulation should be the highest priority of foreign policy towards the third world, because the US economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad, especially from less developed countries."

on democracy:

"I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves."
on the constitution:
"The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer."
on American imperialism:
"The US must carry out some act somewhere in the world which shows its determination to continue to be a world power."
"Oil is much too important a commodity to be left in the hands of the Arabs."
Cited in Halliday and Sponneck 2001-11-29

on wagging the dog:

"I can think of no faster way to unite the American people behind George W. Bush than a terrorist attack on an American target overseas. And I believe George W. Bush will quickly unite the American people through his foreign policy."
"Today Americans would be outraged if U. N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all people of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government."
"Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy."

Scandals

The number of Bush Jr. scandals is staggering. I have seriously suggested that Bush Jr. may be deliberately creating scores of little scandals hoping to distract from the big ones like 9-11.

Who Did It?

It is pretty clear if you follow the links from this page and do some digging in newsgroups, foreign newspapers and on the web that the official 9-11 story is full of holes. It can't be true. Bush is lying as usual. It is also clear that Bush laid back and let 9-11 happen, not allowing planes to scramble or shoot to stop 9-11. But who master-minded 9-11? Surely it was not the moron, even though he was obviously in on it. The answer to this question is far from clear. The following answers have been proposed:

Conclusion

As folk singer Ferron said in a concert here in Victoria, "I think Bush did it."

The bottom line is Bush Jr. is sucking Americans into handing over their civil liberties and their lives at the request of big oil.

Seeing a video, especially of Bush live, is much more convincing that reading about what he did.

What You Can Do

The key is to reach people who only watch TV, hypnotised by FOX/CNN propaganda. To do that you must buy Barrie Zwicker's Vision TV documentary The Great Deception, What really happened on Sept. 11 on video tape.

Then buy Iraq Uncovered on DVD.

Then download all the Eric Blumrich animations onto CD.

Then invite some friends over to watch, and give them copies of the DVD and the CD.

Then find some vets who have recently returned from Iraq. Get them on TV. Get them to address your club. Failing that invite them to you home to talk to your friends to learn first hand about what happened in Iraq.
