I don't believe any longer that it's a matter of connecting the dots. I think they had a veritable blueprint and we want to know why they didn't act on it.B
Of course Bush knew about the impending attacks on America. He did nothing to warn the American people, because he needed this war on terrorism. His daddy had Saddam and he needed Osama. His presidency was going nowhere. He wasn't elected by the American people, but placed in the Oval Office by the conservative Supreme Court; the economy was sliding into the usual Republican pits and he needed something to hang his presidency on. This guy is a joke. His silence was sleazy and contemptible.B

Like the Four Riders of the Apocalypse, the unknown kamikaze rode their giant crafts into the two visible symbols of American world domination, Wall Street and the Pentagon. They vanished in flames and smoke, and we do not yet know who they were. They could be practically anybody… anybody who rejects the twin gods of the dollar and the M-16, who hates the stock market and interventions overseas, who dreams of America for Americans, who does not want to support the drive for world domination…They could be foreigners of practically any extraction, as Wall Street and the Pentagon ruined many lives of people all over the globe. Germans can remember the fiery holocaust of Dresden with its hundreds of thousands of peaceful refugees incinerated by the US Air Force. Japanese will not forget the nuclear holocaust of Hiroshima. The Arab world still feels the creeping holocaust of Iraq and Palestine. Russians and East Europeans feel the shame of Belgrade avenged. Latin Americans think of American invasions of Panama and Granada, of destroyed Nicaragua and defoliated Colombia. Asians count their dead of Vietnam war, Cambodia bombings, Laos CIA operations in millions. Even a pro-American, Russian TV broadcaster could not refrain from saying,now Americans begin to understand the feelings of Baghdad and Belgrade.The Riders could be anybody who lost his house to the bank, who was squeezed from his work and made permanently unemployed, who was declared an Untermensch by the new Herrenvolk. They could be Russians, Malaysians, Indonesians, Pakistanis, Congolese, as their economy was destroyed by Wall Street and the Pentagon. They could be anybody, and they are everybody. Their identity is quite irrelevant, but the Jews already decided: it has to be Arabs. Israel Shamir
Tony Blair takes it upon himself to speak for the international community in declaring 9/11 to have been an attack on the civilised world. CNN (Since the hijackers supposedly left Canada to do their business, and no major terrorism's happened here for a long time, I guess Canada is not part of the civilised world. Or perhaps the US is some bizarre def'n of `civilised'…that makes sense.) (But once NATO's Article 5 was invoked, it became as a matter of military support an attack on much of what usually calls itself the civilised world. BTW Colin Powell played dumb beautifully about getting Article 5 invoked:
- Lord Robertson: Article 5 of the Washington Treaty might well be relevant.
- Powell: I don't know what you mean, George.
- R: Well, Article 5 is an attack on one is an attack on us all.
- P: I know what Article 5 is, but what is the relevance?
- R: Well you have been attacked and I think there are people here who think this is an issue that you might want to raise and I have got a draft statement ready.
- P: I hadn't really thought about it, I'll come back to you. [After 15 min, likely chuckling to himself] Yeah, this is of real interest.
Lucky me, I hit the trifecta.
Bush equated the catastrophe with a big win for himself in his tasteless joke about having won the trifecta, which he repeated over and over again. And who can blame him for gloating over the massive tragedy that had fallen upon the nation? He was only telling the truth. For him it was the world's greatest excuse, justification for everything he wanted to do anyway, beginning with a robbery of the national treasury for his rich friends which was already well underway. DC
As he [Bush] said to me [mgt/budget dir Mitchell Daniels] in mid-September,WHLucky me. I hit the trifecta.
When that quote was published I expected a White House denial. Instead, Bush turned it into a laugh line at a series of private fundraisers. Time and again it served as the punch line for the most tasteless joke ever told…See Feb 27, Mar 1, Mar 27 (twice), Mar 29, Apr 3, Apr 16, Apr 29, May 1, May 10, Jun 7, Jun 13, Jun 14.
You know, I was campaigning in Chicago and somebody asked me, is there ever any time where the budget might have to go into deficit? I said only if we were at war or had a national emergency or were in recession. (Laughter.) Little did I realize we'd get the trifecta. (Laughter.)To appreciate the tastelessness, remember the context. His audience knew the game. Bush needed political cover for their lavish tax cuts. That's why the transcript shows the strange notation (Laughter) when he mentions war, national emergency, and recession. And why they laugh again when he happily calls them a trifecta—racetrack jargon for three
lucky winnersin a row…Bush repeated this joke a dozen times in front of select audiences that saw the joke. Twelve times he joshed and twelve times they laughed. Laughed at the unemployed, laughed at the dead, and laughed at the families who mourned them. DU
Bill Mahr makes `cruise missiles are cowardly' comment, is pseudo-censored by sponsors even though it's an obvious and logical idea by no means unique to Mahr. S: `The design, development, deployment, and use of this sort of highly efficient lethal technology [the AC130 gunship] is done, not by brave men, but by cowards—by those willing to slaughter other humans only if their own lives are not placed in danger. It can only be done by people who are either mentally ill, morally depraved, or too stupid to understand what they are really doing.'
From then on Mahr contents himself with musings about Afghanistan being the `graveyard of empires' like England and USSR, and would the US follow the pattern.
Now some, such as my mother, `have problems' with long-term food aid to the `3rd world' when it results in more of `them' reaching breeding age and enlarging a population the region is already incapable of supporting thus the aid. I'll say these about that:
- I agree, insofar as food aid alone is not a long-term solution; there must also be inexpensive transfer of techniques and technologies prioritised to establishing food independence (eg give 'em photocells and electric waterpumps but no frivolous brain-numbing TVs)
- One reason Afghans can't feed themselves is a decade of the CIA and the USSR duking it out and leaving landmines everywhere, so I think there's some moral obligation on the part of the US and the former USSR to feed them until they (US and the former USSR) get the landmines removed
- Because of differences in lifestyle and lifespan, one Afghan uses a mere fraction of the energy one Westerner uses, in other words, the world can endure many more of `them' than `us.' Of course we need to help them improve their quality of life (which generally equates to increasing their mean energy-per-person) but at the same time we need to critically reëvaluate our consumption and probably decreasing our MEPP; which could mean shedding a few neato but totally useless luxuries but definitely means improving the efficiency of useful gadgets without erasing the savings by using more gadgets
Thanks to America, and only thanks to America, the world has enjoyed these past decades an age of hitherto unimagined freedom and opportunity.[Economist Sep 15–21 p 14.] (Guess they're entitled to their opinion, even if it looks more religious than scientific.)
authorities had arrested Lotfi Raissi, whose name was found in al-Hazmi's rental. A further search of Raissi's apartment had yielded up a video clip starring Raissi with alleged hijacker Hani Hanjour—all in all, another circumstantial slam-dunk in the snowballing case against al-Qaida. Or was it? For by April of 2002—when Mueller made hispaper traildeclaration—Raissi would go free for want of evidence.As we will shortly see, Raissi was being set up to play his part in a prearranged drama, one in which a definitive money trail leading to al-Qaida would be announced just in time for the October 7, 2001 launch into Afghanistan. Yet a brief, almost innocuous, article in the October 9 Times of India would lay havoc to this plan, necessitating a massive cover-up and a search for an alternative smoking gun that would unveil itself before a skeptical world audience on December 13, 2001 as the Official Bin Laden Videotape Confession.

Most people in the world agree that the perpetrators need to be brought to justice, without killing many thousands of civilians in the process. But the US military has always accepted massive civilian deaths as part of the cost of war.

[A near-mirror Reichstag op?] The Vicente Fox government has been very careful of involving Mexico in a war against Islam. The Mexican population as well as the two major opposition political parties, the PRI and the PRD will not allow it. President Bush and the US Zionists want Mexico fully involved in the war principally because if things get tough in the middle east and the oil rich Arabs leave the coalition, the US military machine is going to need alternative sources of oil and PEMEX is just across the border. We believe that the two Zionist terrorists were going to blow up the Mexican Congress. The second phase was to mobilize both the Mexican and US press to blame Osama bin Laden. Most likely then Mexico would declare war on Afghanistan as well, commit troops and all the oil it could spare to combat Islamic terrorism. [FPP citing La Voz de Aztlan Oct 15]
As I count AA11 there're 90 names. Two are misidentified Arabs, leaving 88; four short of the alleged 92, not six (either he miscounted or CNN added one before I took their page). `Satam al-Suqami' is supposed to be the hijacker that shot Lewin; the alleged hijacker count matches him plus the four. For AA77 I count 57 names, again one more than he does; but this leaves 7 unaccounted for and only 5 alleged hijackers. For UA175 I count 56 names, as he does; 9 unaccounted, only 5 alleged hijackers. For UA93 I count 33 names, as he does; 12 unaccounted, and only 4 alleged hijackers. Hein?? And, if the hijackers just snuck aboard somehow, eg via food services, how is it none of the 25 attendants noticed four or five extra passengers, given all the documentation meant to catch just such a thing? Remember the planes are lightly loaded.

- Any federal law-enforcement agency may enter your home or business when you are not there, collect evidence, not tell you about it, and then use that evidence to convict you of a crime (This nullifies the 4th Amendment to the Constitution). And, says the ACLU, it doesn't even have to be a terrorism investigation, just a criminal investigation. [Section 213, the Sneak-and-Peek provision].
- Any federal law-enforcement agency may, if they suspect that you are committing a crime, monitor all of your internet traffic and read your emails. They may also intercept all of your cell-phone calls as well. No warrant is required. (This violates the 4th and 5th Amendments to the Constitution.) [Section 202 and 216].
- The FBI or any other federal law-enforcement agency may come to your business and seize any of your business records if they claim it is connected with a terrorist investigation—and they can arrest you if you tell anyone that they were there.

- The CIA can now operate inside the US and spy on American citizens. And, as directed by AG Ashcroft on Nov 13, it is also permitted to share its intelligence files with local law-enforcement agencies (and vice versa). The CIA has spied on Americans for decades, but the fruits of that spying have never been admissible in court. Now law enforcement will have the ability to rewrite the intelligence as a probable-cause statement, conduct an investigation and introduce it as evidence. This, from material that was collected outside the rules of search and seizure. (There goes the Exclusionary rule of the 4th Amendment). [Titles 2 & 9].
- The foundation for an international secret political police agency is laid by allowing the CIA to receive wiretap information from any local agency and then share it with the intelligence services of any foreign country. [Section 203]
My friend and I figured out what PATRIOT really stands for—Pissing Away The Rights In Our Territory.
On October 12th [2001], a couple of days after the bombing [of Afghanistan] started, Bush publicly announced to the Afghan people that we will continue to bomb you, unless your leadership turns over to us the people who we suspect of carrying out crimes, although we refuse to give you any evidence…that is a textbook illustration of international terrorism, by the US official definition. That is the use of the threat of force or violence, in this case extreme violence, to obtain political ends through intimidation, fear and so on…Three weeks later, by the end of October, the war aims had changed. They were first announced as far as I can find out, by the British Defense Minister, Sir Admiral Boyce. Admiral Boyce informed the Afghan population that we will continue to bomb you until you change your leadership. Well, that's an even more dramatic illustration of international terrorism. NC
GWB signs Executive Order 13233 limiting public access to papers of all
presidents since 1980 (ie starting when Daddy became de-facto President

This was not even discussed in HR 3162. That same day Sen Patrick Leahy D VT wrote to Ashcroft. He had many questions to ask about what Justice had been doing by violating the trust of Congress and assuming powers which were not authorized by either law or the Constitution.

Robel [389 U.S. 258 (1967)]):[T]his concept of `national defense' cannot be deemed an end in itself, justifying any exercise of…power designed to promote such a goal. Implicit in the term `national defense' is the notion that defending those values and ideas which set this Nation apart…It would indeed be ironic if, in the name of national defense, we would sanction the subversion of one of those liberties…which makes the defense of the Nation worthwhile.Leahy asked Ashcroft by what authority had he decided on his own and without judicial review to nullify the 5th Amendment to the Constitution. He asked for an explanation and some description of the procedural safeguards that Ashcroft would put in place. He asked Ashcroft to appear before the Judiciary committee and to respond in writing by Nov 13.His answer came a little late. On Nov 16, Leahy received an anthrax letter.

Malaria kills around 2 million humans a year, roughly the same number as AIDS [gets credit for], but malaria research currently gets only a fraction of the resources devoted to AIDS. Tuberculosis (1.7 million victims a year) is similarly sidelined, to the extent that there were no new TB drugs in development at all as of 1998. AIDS, on the other hand, is replete, employing an estimated 100,000 scientists, sociologists, caregivers, counselors, peer educators and stagers of condom jamborees…(If someone programmed a kaputey to predict the colour of the sky, and it spit out[In Africa,] AIDS researchers descend on selected clinics, remove the leftover blood samples and screen them for traces of HIV. The results are forwarded to Geneva and fed into a computer program called Epi-model: If a given number of pregnant women are HIV-positive, the formula says, then a certain percentage of all adults and children are presumed to be infected, too. And if that many people are infected, it follows that a percentage of them must have died. Hence, when UNAIDS announces 14 million Africans have succumbed to AIDS, it does not mean 14 million infected bodies have been counted. It means [only] that 14 million people have theoretically died…
[South Africa has relatively reliable records, for Africa.] It therefore seemed to me that checking the number of registered deaths in South Africa was the surest way of assessing the statistics from Geneva, so I dug out the figures. Geneva's computer models suggested that AIDS deaths here had tripled in three years, surging from 80,000-odd in 1996 to 250,000 in 1999. But no such rise was discernable in total registered deaths, which went from 294,703 to 343,535 within roughly the same period. The discrepancy was so large that I wrote to make absolutely sure I had understood these numbers correctly. Both parties confirmed that I had, and at that exact moment, my story was in trouble. Geneva's figures reflected catastrophe. Pretoria's figures did not… [AAw quoting Rolling Stone]
lime pink, would you bleeve the kaputey, or your eyes? Yet, more and more, people are bleeving GIGO spew with no ground truth.)
It spoiled the plot, so I tried to ignore it. Since it was indeed true that the very large numbers of South Africans were dying, then the nation's coffin makers had to be laboring hard to keep pace with growing demand. One newspaper account I found told of a company called Affordable Coffins, purveyor of cheap cardboard caskets, which had more orders than it could fill. But the firm was barely two months old when the story ran, and two rival entrepreneurs who launched similar products a few years back had gone under.People weren't interested.said a dejected Mr. Rob Whyte.They wanted coffins made of real wood.So I called the real-wood firms, three industrialists who manufactured coffins on an assembly line for the national market.
It's quiet,said Kurt Lammerding of GNG Pine Products. His competitors concurred—business was dead, so to speak.
It's a fact,said Mr. A. B. Schwegman of B&A Coffins.If you go on what you read in the papers, we should be overwhelmed, but there's nothing. So what's going on? You tell me.I couldn't, although I suspected it might have something to do with race. Since the downfall of apartheid, in 1994, illegal backyard funeral parlors have mushroomed in the black townships, and my sources couldn't discount the possibility that these outfits were scoring their coffins from the underground economy. So, I called a black-owned firm, Mmabatho Coffins, but it had gone out of business, along with some others I tried calling. This was getting seriously weird…
I wandered around [Johannesburg] searching for coffin makers, but [amongst dozens of woodworkers] there were only two. Eric Borman said business was good, but he was a master craftsman who made one or two deluxe caskets a week and seemed to resent the suggestion his customers were the sort of people who died of AIDS. For that, I'd have to talk to Penny. Borman pointed, and off I went, deeper and deeper into the maze. Penny's place was locked up and deserted. Inside, I saw unsold coffins stacked ceiling-high, and a forlorn CLOSED sign hung on a wire…
