quote: 26 Reasons Why the hidden Vested Interests are behind "America's New
War" and the Impending World War III

1) The "terrorist" attacks were completely predictable and, in fact,
predicted. Many patriotic and heroic individuals issued Forewarnings
to government and military officials well in advance of Sept. 11,
2001. For instance, in August, Dr. Garth Nicolson, Ph.D., and his wife
Nancy Nicolson, Ph.D., among the world's most esteemed Mycoplasma
researchers and Gulf War Syndrome investigators, reported to Pentagon
officials that they had confirmed intelligence that on Sept. 11, 2001
a terrorist strike against the Pentagon would be made. Their sources
included individuals in key intelligence positions, the mob, and one
high level African diplomat. Their "information was passed on to the
Director of Policy of the Department of Defense, the Inspector General
of the US Army Medical Corps and the National Security Council," Dr.
Nicolson wrote. "Unfortunately, it was ignored."

Likewise, Dr. Leonard Horowitz, the award-winning author of the
prophetically titled book, "Death in the Air: Globalism, Terrorism and
Toxic Warfare," http://www.tetrahedron.org; http://www.prophecyandpreparedness.com) released three months before
the attacks on Washington and New York, correctly predicted such a
first strike on New York. For three years, based on government
documents and intelligence reports, he had been warning "Metropolis"
residents, "It's time to move."

2) On Friday, September 7, Florida Governor, Jeb Bush, brother to the
President, issued an Executive Order in which members of the Florida
National Guard were activated, "for the purpose of training to support
law- enforcement personnel and emergency-management personnel in the
event of civil disturbances or natural disaster." Perhaps the
president and his brother received Dr. Nicolson's warnings or were the
source of the warnings?

3) On Sunday night, September 17, 2001 CBS's "60-Minutes" revealed
that President Bush's close associates had suddenly, and inexplicably,
sold all their airline stock just days before the terrorist attacks.
The story was completely overlooked by mainstream newspapers
thereafter.

4) FEMA sent the Urban Search and Rescue Team to New York City THE
NIGHT BEFORE the attacks occurred! One FEMA official, Mr. Tom Kennedy
told Dan Rather on Sept 11, "We're currently one of the first teams
that was deployed to support the City of New York in this disaster. We
arrived on late Monday night [that is, on September 10, the NIGHT
BEFORE] and went right into action on Tuesday morning."

5) Osama bin Laden and his band of "Terrorists" could not have pulled
off the "sophisticated" operation of four simultaneous air hijackings,
and precision directed attacks, without the support of one or more
"intelligence organizations." This was the expert testimony provided
by past CIA Afghanistan operations director and bin Laden's American
intelligence aficionado, Milt Bearden, interviewed by Dan Rather on
September 12, 2001. In fact, when pressed by Dan Rather to endorse the
theory of bin Laden's culpability, Mr. Bearden stated, "if they didn't
have an Osama bin Laden, they would invent one."

6) On October 31, 2001, the French daily "Le Figaro" reported that
Osama bin Laden had met with a high-level CIA official in July 2000.
At that time, bin Laden was already being sought for trial for his
involvement in two U.S. embassy bombings and the U.S.S. Cole attack.
The meeting was held in bin Laden's private suite in a Dubai hospital.
Though he was eligible for elimination, according to President Bill
Clinton's intelligence findings, on July 14th he was let go and left
Dubai on his private jet.

7) Every expert in the field of terrorism, up until Sept. 11, 2001,
routinely explained the fact that certified terrorist organizations
operate in an effort to garner worldwide attention and support for
their political cause (s). In the case of pro-Palestinian terrorist
organizations, their attacks had been traditionally against American
military facilities and personnel. This was obviously neither the
intent nor outcome of the attacks on the WTC.

8) For weeks preceding September 11, 2001 international opinion
regarding Israel and the United States had plummeted to an all-time
low. Alternatively, pro-Palestinian attitudes had rapidly increased to
an all-time high, particularly following the United Nations Conference
on Racism wherein the U.S. and Israel had been chastised for their
racist policies. Any intelligent pro-Palestinian terrorist group, such
as Osama bin Laden's legions, or intelligence organization(s)
supportive to the Palestinian cause, would not have jeopardized the
significant gains achieved at that time.

9) Osama bin Laden took his direction and money from the CIA for ten
years. During this time, approximately $5 billion was funneled to his
organization through black op budgets into CIA operation known as
Maktab al-Khidamar-the MAK. It is clear, as a MAK mercenary army
leader, bin Laden's fortune vastly increased during that time. It is
said that, "Once in the CIA, always in the CIA." Could this be one of
the intelligence organizations about which Milt Bearden was speaking?
(See #5 above.)

10) On Tuesday evening September 12, 2001 previous Secretary of
Defense for the Clinton administration, William S. Cohen, explained to
CBS News anchorman Dan Rather, that the terrorist attacks on New York
and Washington were an aberration. He fully expected there to be a
full-scale deployment of biological and chemical "weapons of mass
destruction" very soon. This reinforced his earlier statements as
Defense Secretary that a five-pound bag of anthrax bacteria in the
hands of terrorists would likely cause the deaths of hundreds of
thousands of Americans. We were particularly vulnerable to this
"immanent" threat, he said. Many critical military observers
considered these statements treasonous. Reason? At no time in American
military history has a top level official broadcast internationally
the country's greatest attack vulnerability. In effect, his statements
were akin to giving anti-Americans their marching orders.

11) A sincere U.S. Government, truly concerned about the health and
safety of American citizens, would be doing everything in its power to
advance public health and educational policies for biological and
chemical attack preparedness. Instead, such critical policy and advice
has been left entirely to independent, often ill- trained, "experts,"
at best, and special interests and media producers at worst. The
mainstream media has completely neglected the simple things people can
do to guard loved-ones, such as natural medicines (e.g.,garlic) to
ward off infections such as anthrax.

12) In July 2000, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) endorsed one
single largely untested and highly risky antibiotic, Bayer
Corporation's Cipro, for anthrax prophylaxis and treatment. Following
September 11, 2001 demand for this drug skyrocketed 1,000 percent,
according to Peter Jennings in an ABC News report broadcast September
27. Pharmacies charged $700 per person for a mere two-month supply of
Cipro. It is well established that far less expensive antibiotics,
including the penicillins and tetracyclines, are highly effective
against Anthrax. The Bayer Corporation during and following World War
II had been blacklisted by the U.S. Government for being the principle
profiteer, in partnership with the Rockefeller Standard Oil Company,
for funding the Third Reich, their terrorist organizations, and
Germany's war machine.

13) During the first week of October, the media heralded a bizarre
anthrax outbreak at the National Enquirer near Ft. Lauderdale,
Florida. By October 11, three cases of reported "criminal" anthrax
infections had occurred. This form of anthrax--a classic biological
weapon strain--is not easily acquired. It is distributed mainly by the
American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) of Rockville, Maryland. The
curator there is Dr. Joshua Lederberg, who is also the president of
Rockefeller University. Preceding the Gulf War, the U.S. Congressional
Record (May 25, 1994, commonly called the "Don Riegle Report") exposed
the ATCC for shipping to Sadam Hussein's Ministry of Higher Education
and the Ministry of Trade, nineteen shipments of various strains of
Bacillus Anthraces from 1978 to 1988.

14) According to investigators at the FBI, the Enquirer anthrax attack
was not likely done by typical "terrorists," but rather one or more
"criminals." For what motive? Obviously, whoever did this had a
motive, and had access to weapons grade anthrax. That virtually leaves
typical blue-collar "criminals" out entirely since skill in handling
and shipping live anthrax would be required for this crime. The fact
that, of all places, America's best-selling tabloid was first
attacked, then other mainstream media outlets, speaks volumes about
the criminal motive. Since no one has claimed responsibility for this
act, they obviously did not do it for personal publicity. Obviously,
then, the attack was a white-collar crime by one or more "white collar
bioterrorist(s)." At least one Rockefeller-linked U.S. biological
weapons official, Dr. Lederberg, and Rockefeller-partnered
Corporation, Bayer (aspirin) that largely financed the Third Reich,
and Hitler's rise to power, had obvious white-collar (financial)
motives for these contemporary "terrorist" attacks. This deserves
critical consideration and further investigation.

15) On October 1, 2001, Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz sent the FBI, as well
as half the members of the U.S. Congress, an urgent request to
investigate this matter. (See: http://www.tetrahedron.org "Apocalypse
Prevention Project") Included in this letter was the following
statement concerning the links between contemporary terrorist
organizations, the global neo-Nazi movement, and possible Bayer
Corporation involvement:

The Bayer Company [also linked to AID-virus contaminated blood
products during 1980 investigations] evaded U.S. Government controls
during and following the holocaust in which millions of mostly Jewish
people were used as experimental subjects in medical atrocities
overseen by I.G. Farben's president Hermann Schmitz, who also directed
the German-multinational Bayer A.G.

Of urgent pertinence to the FBI's current investigation into
terrorism's money trail, a recent investigation into terrorist group
funding, issued by The Oklahoma Bombing Investigation Committee (OBIC)
directed by Representative Charles Key, found "Neo-Nazi figures have
actually been implicated in Middle Eastern special weapons procurement
and terrorist activity." For example, the group reported, "since the
1960s, an old Swiss Nazi named Francois Genaud has reportedly
masterminded several airplane hijackings for the PLO." The now defunct
"Odessa" organization, the post-war successor to Hitler's S.S.,
according to OBIC, "had numerous documented meetings with
representatives of various Arab organizations; and, during the early
1980s, a Neo-Nazi named Odfried Hepp attacked several U.S. military
installations in Germany with bombs. Hepp was later found to have been
financed by Al Fatah." Hepp, OBIC reported, did his Ph.D. on
"Neo-Nazi/PLO bombings of U.S. housing, cars and military facilities
in Germany." Given these facts alone, an FBI investigation into this
matter is critical.

I am also contacting congressional leaders at this time urging an
immediate U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) investigation into the
FDA's "advisory committee" that sponsored the unprecedented sole
endorsement of Bayer's Cipro for anthrax. Nowhere in the Physician's
Desk Reference (2000) is it claimed that Cipro is especially indicated
for anthrax. In fact, Bacillus anthracis is not even mentioned. What
is mentioned is that, "although effective in clinical trials,
ciprofloxacin is not a drug of first choice in the treatment of
presumed or confirmed pneumonia secondary to Streptococcus
pneumoniae." This organism, like anthrax, is an aerobic gram-positive
microbe. (Likewise, Bacillus anthracis causes pneumonia in the form of
commonly terminal hemorrhagic bronchopneumonia.) Furthermore the PDR
states: "WARNINGS-THE SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF CIPROFLOXACIN IN
PEDIATRIC PATIENTS AND ADOLESCENTS (LESS THAN 18 YEARS OF AGE),
PREGNANT WOMEN, AND LACTATING WOMEN HAVE NOT BEEN ESTABLISHED."
Alternatively, numerous bioweapons experts have consistently
recommended far less costly and time-tested antibiotics to fight
anthrax, including the natural and synthetic penicillins,
erythromycin, cephalosporins, and the tetracyclines.

As with Dr. Nicolson's forewarning to military leaders concerning the
Sept 11 Pentagon attack, the above urgent request by Dr. Horowitz for
FBI investigation into this matter, to date (Nov. 5, 2001) has gone
ignored. This strongly suggests, if not evidences, a conspiracy within
our own government-a conspiracy of silence at minimum.

16) Aaron Swirski, one of the architects of the World Trade Center,
said they designed the towers to withstand airplane collisions. "I
designed it for a 707 hit, he said." The collapse of the buildings
came as a complete "shock" to him and his colleagues.

Van Romero, a demolition expert, former director of the Energetic
Materials Research and Testing Center, and current vice present for
research at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology said that
the manner in which the twin towers collapsed, resembled those of
controlled implosions used in planned demolition. "My opinion is,
based on the videotapes, that after the airplanes hit the World Trade
Center there were some explosive devices inside the buildings that
caused the towers to collapse," Romero said.

ABC News interviewed people who had escaped "ground zero" on September
11, 2001. One unidentified man said: "We were stuck on the stairs for
a while. I came down from the 85th floor. When we were just about to
leave the building, there was a blast." A woman's testimony followed:
"I got stuck on the stairs. When we got to the lobby there was a
blast," she said.

17) On September 11, 2001 President Bush was is Sarasota, Florida,
"In Sarasota, Fla. "reading to children in a classroom at 9:05 a.m.
when his chief of staff, Andrew Card, whispered into his ear,
according to the Associated Press (Sept. 12). The president briefly
turned somber before he resumed reading. . . .[Next] President Bush
listened to 18 Booker Elementary School second-graders read a story
about a girl's pet goat . . . before he spoke briefly and somberly
about the terrorist attacks." Many are curious as to why the
"Commander-in-Chief" of the U.S. took about a half-hour before he
responded to the national security urgency, or even addressed the
tragedies.

18) The New York Times reported on September 15, 2001 that Pentagon
officials had been tracking the second two hijacked planes for almost
an hour following the WTC attacks because they simply "didn't know
what to do." Regarding the plane that crashed into Pennsylvania "Paul
Wolfowitz, the deputy defense secretary, said . . . that the Pentagon
had been tracking that plane and could have shot it down if necessary;
it crashed about 35 minutes after the Pentagon crash."

Many are wondering why, if they could have shot that plane down, did
they not shoot the plane down that flew into the Pentagon?

19) Vice President Dick Cheney was interviewed on Sept. 12, 2001. When
asked where he was when he learned of the attacks, many were surprised
to learn that he was alerted by his secretary who was "watching
television" in his Washington, D.C. office. In essence, though the FAA
had known at least four planes were veering far off their course,
while the Pentagon, too, had been tracking at least two of the
hijacked planes, Mr. Cheney received his initial intelligence report
by way of television through his clerical secretary.

20) "Drugs and terrorism go hand in hand," wrote investigative
journalist and retired LAPD officer Michael C. Ruppert
(http://www.copvcia.com) "Conveniently ignored in all of the press
coverage since the tragic events of Sept. 11," Mr. Ruppert wrote, "is
the fact that on May 17 Secretary of State Colin Powell announced a
gift of $43 million to the Taliban as a purported reward for its
eradication of Afghanistan's opium crop this February. That, in
effect, made the U.S. the Taliban's largest financial benefactor
according to syndicated columnist Robert Scheer writing in The Los
Angeles Times on May 22."

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

22) Mr. Ruppert also revealed that an Executive Director at the CIA
named A. "Buzzy" Krongard is suspected of Wall Street profiteering
from foreknowledge of the Sept 11 attacks. Formerly with Bankers Trust
catering to the world's wealthiest clients of the Deutsch Bank. (The
Deutsche Bank is heavily implicated in Dr. Len Horowitz's book Death
in the Air: Globalism, Terrorism, and Toxic Warfare released in June,
2001) In 1999, Mr. Krongard left Deutsch Bank for his present
high-level job in the CIA. Enormous quantities of "Put" options were
handled through the Deutsche Bank, which allowed the options buyers to
earn profits in the event the value of airline stocks went down. The
appearance of advance knowledge of Sept. 11 is so strong that to date

$2.5 Million of the $20 Million in profits earned on those unusual
trades, remains unclaimed, possibly by Mr. Krongard, or other
affiliates of the CIA.

23) Many journalists have reported that the bombing of Afghanistan,
allegedly intended to punish the Taliban for affiliations with Bin
Laden, is simply a cover for that government's reneging of support for
an oil pipeline through Afghanistan from the vast Caspian Sea oil
fields. Sept. 11, provided a great excuse to pursue this
petrochemical, economic, and "national security" objective.

24) On December 20, 1997, the national newspaper CONTACT: The Phoenix
Project, published an interview on anthrax biowarfare threats and
vaccinations in which Dr. Leonard Horowitz was asked "about the
government's pressure to vaccinate [using the anthrax vaccine] and the
bioweapons scare tactics, etc." He responded: "Look at the motive
behind the persuasion, and what is it? They're preparing to blame it
on the Muslims, Christian patriots, and militia groups. The militia
groups are already dysfunctional because they're penetrated by
agitators."

This is precisely what followed in the wake of the 9-11 attacks.
Muslim groups were blamed for the 9-11 attacks. Christian patriots
were blamed for the anthrax mailings. Militia groups were entirely
silenced and even implicated. And false patriotism in which Americans
welcome the destruction of basic constitutional liberties with CIA
command over the entire U.S. military and Government has come to pass.

25) On October 31, 2001 the American people and U.S. Constitutional
freedoms were attacked, not by the Taliban government or Muslim
terrorists, but by CDC officials who advanced the "Model State
Emergency Health Powers Act" that will force masses of people
suspected of exposure to broadly-defined "infectious diseases" and
biological weapons into concentration camp-like holding facilities for
drugging, vaccination, and quarantine, without any viable legal
recourse.

26) The entire 9-11 tragedy and subsequent threats to U.S. national
and global securities fits far too perfectly with standard
Machiavellian theory to be overlooked. This ongoing practice-the
"problem/reaction/solution" agenda of precisely "managed
chaos"-appears to be standard operating procedures for oligarchs
historically bend on developing a "New World Order." Sadly now for the
American people, as it has been for the Third World, this effort
includes killing approximately half of the world's current population.

Oh horseshit, most of these points are sheer conjecture. However, that doesn't mean I discount the idea of the US Gov't being responsible. Things sure have worked out in their favour since 9-11, and the game of "Where's Bin Laden" only helps their cause. He's probably hanging out with Seth from The Authority smoking heroin in some oppulant palace.

Sorry if there was another discussion about this previously that I missed, but, what do you think about this? The first thing I said while watching the towers drop was that it looked like an inner blast finally took out the fuel-fire weakened supports, and the building fell in on itself. Had it been any other way, each building should have fallen in the direction it was hit by each plane.
From a conspiratorially aesthetic point of view, the buildings had to fall. But, it was too precise. Any thoughts?

quote:News reports said the planes were jetliners, a 757 and a 767. The 757 has a 124-foot wingspan, is 155 feet long and can weigh 100 tons. A 767 is bigger, with a 156-foot wingspan and 159-foot length and can weigh a maximum of 200 tons. (A 747 is more than 200 feet long and can weigh 400 tons.)

The planes hit the buildings near the 70th or 80th floors. Their impact severely damaged the tube walls, which carried a large proportion of the buildings' weight. CNN footage of the second plane hitting a tower appeared to show that a large part of the jetliner went all the way through the building, suggesting that the interior core was also damaged.

Once a building like a World Trade Center tower loses some of its support, the building in effect goes to work, Fenves said. "The loads are trying to redistribute," he said. "The loads are figuring out how to get back down to the ground." At the same time, he noted, the fires are deforming the physical properties of the support steel.

"It's a very rugged system," he said. "It takes a long time for the collapse mechanism to develop. It's not like kicking the leg out from underneath a chair. The building is 200-foot square and there's a lot of structural system there."

But once the upper floors began to give way, terrible force was set in motion. Each floor of a building that big might weigh 6 million pounds, he said. Once impact is factored in as well, he said, the force becomes irresistible.

It seems to me that most of these "reasons" required a lot of aceptance of dubious knowledge claims, carte blanche.

For example, the repeated use of Leonard Horowitz as an authoritative source {1, 15, 24]. While I'm not going to burn him as a kook just yet, I must say I'm a little skeptical of his claims. Especially after thumbing through his later works on the electromagnetic codes concealed in the Book of Numbers, and their ability to repair DNA. His earlier stuff on AIDS, Ebola, and germ warfare also make me a little twitchy, because they revolve around this premise that "anything that efficient has to be man-made," which really flies in the face of what I know about microbiology, but I've decided to read all the way through.

A lot of other points [9, 10, 17, 18, 19] rely on a particular reading of events as "conspiratorial." Some are just silly, heresay like Figaro quote and the anonymous witnesses to a second explosion.
The vague fumbling about a Rockefeller/Bayer/Odessa conspiracy just confuses me...can anyone provide a straightening-out of the whys of this argument?

Some are just silly like [7,8] which deal with terrorist's progandic agendas. Read a bit about Islamic terrorist activity in the past and this statement suddenly seems very fuzzy...it doesn't address who the audience of terrorist activity is, or what the underlying philosophy of performance and message is.
[18] just ticked me off as post-hoc logic. Consider the ethics of shooting down a fully loaded plane. In the moment, noone knew if the highjacking would result in a negotiation, as per usual, or something else.
 
 
The Monkey
19:44 / 26.02.02
My take on the whole thing ties in with [23].
I don't think the US government was actively involved in the bombing of the WTC, except in the chickens-coming-home-to-roost-sense that we set up the people who did it.

What I do think is that the US gov. is viciously exploiting this event as an excuse to carry out all sorts of sketchy activity, both in its internal and foreign policies. I personally figure that this entire scheme has less to do with traditional conspiracy images of world domination and mind control, but rather with the capital-accumulating interests of individuals in the government who have made economic alliances with various coporate entities. The whole shebang could be lazily characterized as yet another form of neo-colonial exploitation.

The whole Afghanistan thing reeks, in my mind. The Taliban may suck, but they aren't Al Quaeda, and I have yet to comprehend how any strong affiliation could be made between the two, aside from both being of conservative Muslim bent.

My first thought when we began the campaign against Afghanistan was, "so...what natural resources are the grateful puppet government we establish going to provide us with rights to?" The pipe-line seems like a pretty good answer, espe given that Afghanistan has pretty much no natural resources [in the past it prospered as a trade hub from the Middle East to India and China].
