The alert, which had included the Federal Aviation Agency, was eased by the end of August, two weeks before the 19 suicide hijackers boarded their flights. The timing suggests that those who dispatched the hijackers knew when security was being relaxed. What was their source of information?"
Due to facts that are already researched and established about Bush government's complicity in Sept. 11th, every major media event since then is due a close examination. Tonight I did my research, being haunted and plagued by oddities, as the D.C. sniper trial was very suspicious for serveral reasons:
Longtime GOP consultant Richard Whalen identified former Senator Dole (R-KS) as one among the leading Midwest Republicans who have quietly thrown their support to Kerry.
In June 2001, the American embassy announced a Visa Express program, which allowed Saudis to get a visa to the U.S. without actually appearing at the consulate in person, allowing some of the 9/11 hijackers to enter the country.
There is no discussion of the absurd official story-line re: the actual events of that day. And now bush/cheney get to testify together.
Zelikow warned the White House Counsel that Rice should yestified in public, because an incriminating photo would '...be all over Washington in 24 hours' exposing Bush's stonewalling tactics.
George Bush asked for Tony Blair's backing to remove Saddam Hussein from power just nine days after the 11 September attacks, over a private dinner at the White House, a US magazine reported last night.
In a 25,000-word article in this month's American edition of Vanity Fair, former British ambassador to Washington Sir Christopher Meyer recounts Mr Bush as responding: "I agree with you Tony. We must deal with this [ousting the Taliban and "restoring peace in Afghanistan"] first. But when we have dealt with Afghanistan, we must come back to Iraq." According to Sir Christopher - also seated at the dinner table that evening - Mr Blair "said nothing to demur" at the prospect.

Here are two mp3 files for the speech (62.5 minutes) and the focus group held thereafter in an upstairs room with about 40 people (~65 minutes).
"Their ultimate boss is the same Donald Rumsfeld who has already announced that even should a prisoner be found not guilty, he would not necessarily release him."
It's almost laughable the way our corporate media reads the shadowy presence of al-Qaeda into nearly every terrorist incident around the world.
I said almost.
Laurie Mylroie claims Richard Clarke is simply lying about the importance of the Iraq connection to terrorism. Both are Washington "insiders."
Both of them also seem like major-league grandstanders; the average peon like myself is helpless before the charges and countercharges of the "insiders". Last night on NOW! we heard Nixon insider interviewed by Johnson insider Bill Moyers-- adding more proof to my belief that the insider club is living in a parallel universe. This whole festering mess needs to be cracked open. Who is lying?? They ALL are lying.
The Department of Homeland Security announced on Friday that it planned to require travelers from 27 industrialized nations, including longtime allies like Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Japan and Australia, to be photographed and electronically fingerprinted when they arrive in the United States.

Tom Ridge, the man who brought duct tape and plastic sheeting into every American home, is out flacking for Bush. How should he be greeted? One suggestion is that "We should pelt him with fruit and various meats." -- Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
The two events that will reveal the truth will take place in the coming months of 2004. Specifically, between May and the end of October, Bush will miraculously "capture" Osama bin Laden, who has been under surveillance since the start of the Afghan war, held as a trump card for just this purpose, an electoral surge. The other event that will occur between May and October is a second engineered terrorist attack in the US, coordinated by the security apparatus under Bush, similar in magnitude to 9-11, designed to terrify the US public into ceding more authority to Bush and electing him based upon a state of national emergency.
A former translator for the FBI with top-secret security clearance says she has provided information to the panel investigating the 11 September attacks which proves senior officials knew of al-Qa'ida's plans to attack the US with aircraft months before the strikes happened.

The White House's National Security Adviser, Condoleezza Rice, will appear before the 9/11 commission on 8 April.
It follows the president's decision to drop his refusal to allow Ms Rice to testify on oath and in public. According to polls, the American public did not approve of what some saw as constitutional nitpicking over Ms Rice's testimony.
"I certainly wasn't going to vote for Gore, so he is my man, but I'm not really all that happy with him."

Ms. Edmonds, a Turkish-American translator, said there was sufficient information in Spring and Summer 2001 of an attack being planned. But the White House is seeking to silence her with a court order citing "state secrets privilege".

CHENEY v. UNITED STATES DIST. COURT FOR D. C. Memorandum of SCALIA, J. MY SUBMISSION TO THE E-COURT OF OPINION: Scalia's denial of two different cases for his recusal (refusal to be a judge in a case where there is a conflict of interest) relies on a personal self-testimony of his honor, and nothing more substantial than that. So read Scalia in his own words, and remember his alibi if something comes up. Of course the Judge's 'honor' has already been suspect and proven to be suspect ever since the 2000 decision that revealed conflict of interest where Scalia made a statement to the effect in the press that further counting of the Florida vote would be a danger to the Bush candidacy. Second, we have the 5-4 SCOTUS decision where Scalia was part of the 'gang of five'--and through the case he was feeding the Bush legal team recommended ways of arguing (while seated above them on the bench!). Third, we have the (unconstitutional) selecting of an ex-male cheerleader of Yale Univerity, George W. Bush, as the presidential candiadate to win Florida without counting votes, even though the Supreme Court basically gave themselves the right to do so when there is nothing in the Constitution to the effect that allows federal courts to decide state elections--much less stop them, or decide them regardless of the vote! Throughout in other words, conflict of interest has been proven in the past related to the Bush/Cheney ticket, and can only influence everything to come. THANK YOU YOUR HONORS FOR HEARING THIS PLEA. THE GUILLOTINE AWAITS YOU, RIGHT THIS WAY YOU TOTAL BASTARDS.
Countless eyes were glued to the days of public testimony on March 23 and 24 before the "National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States." The ten-member panel grilled policymakers from the Bush team and the previous Clinton administration. There were angry outbursts and finger-pointing. For days, charges and countercharges echoed back and forth outside the commission hearing--through the power structure and the intensifying electoral arena.

take this corporate media editorial for what you will - investigators like
http://www.cooperativeresearch.org, Michael Ruppert and others have previously revealed and confirmed this information, we already knew Clarke helped ship out the Bin Laden family on September 11, 2001 but -
what does it say about the current 9-11 'investigation'? the tone of this piece is all wrong too - just an "equal time for Bush" or some such bullshit, while simultaneously pointing the finger at another glaringly obvious flaw in the official 9-11 fairy tale. also expecting citizens not to ask the real questions: just let the Boston Herald define the "Clarke vs. Bush" parameters for you.
Waxman suggested that such contacts would be improper because "the conduct of the White House is one of the key issues being investigated by the commission."
9-11 investigator visits Portland
The Starbucks customer who found them gave them to the liberal advocacy group the Center for American Progress, which published them on its Web site Wednesday. Included in the notes was a hand-drawn map to Rumsfeld's house, which is largely blacked out on the Web site for security reasons.
The really big unanswered question of September 11, 2001 is this: Once it became obvious that at least four passenger jets had been hijacked--at one point that Tuesday morning, Clarke says the FAA thought it had as many as "eleven aircraft off course or out of communications"--why didn't our government intercept them?
Only two of the the 9/11 commissioners have above-top-secret clearance and are allowed to look at 300-plus documents of that classification, and one of them worked on the Bush-Cheney transition team.
As most of America slept early last Sunday morning, the Bush administration hustled and bustled to prepare for the Sunday morning talk shows - among others Colin Powell was appearing on "Face the Nation" and Donald Rumsfeld was booked on "Fox News Sunday." Condoleezza Rice was not scheduled to appear until prime time, when she would make a star appearance on CBS' "60 Minutes" - the last in a long line of media appearances that caused 9/11 Commissioner Richard Ben Veniste to quip that "Condi Rice has appeared everywhere but at my local Starbucks."
No fake news story has become more embedded in our culture than the administration's account of its actions on Sept. 11. As The Wall Street Journal reported on its front page this week - just as the former counterterrorism chief Richard Clarke was going public with his parallel account - many of this story's most familiar details are utter fiction. Bush's repeated claim that one of his "first acts" of that morning was to put the military on alert is false. So are the president's claims that he watched the first airplane hit the World Trade Center on television that morning. (No such video yet existed.) Nor was Air Force One under threat as Bush flew around the country, delaying his return to Washington.
Yet the fake narrative of Sept. 11 has been scrupulously maintained by the White House for more than two years. Although the administration has tried at every juncture to stonewall the Sept. 11 investigative commission, its personnel, including the president, had all the time in the world for the producer of a TV movie, Showtime's "DC 9/11: Time of Crisis" The result was a scenario that further rewrote the history of that day, stirring steroids into false tales of presidential derring-do. To shore up the Karl Rove version of Sept. 11 once Richard Clarke went public with his alternative tale on last Sunday's "60 Minutes," the White House placed Condoleezza Rice on all five morning news shows the next day. The administration is confident that it can reinstate its bogus scenario - particularly given that Rice, unlike Clarke, is refusing to take the risk of reciting it under oath to the Sept. 11 commission.
In finally accepting the 9/11 Commission's request for public testimony under oath from National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, the White House was not the one that flinched. It was the 9/11 Commission.
Floor Statement of Sen. Daschle on the Abuse of Government Power
Speech Delivered by US Senator Tom Daschle US Senate Floor March 30, 2004
human being not yet too retarded by flouride, chemtrails, food additives, antidepressants and demonically engineered food that will eventually poison you to death — that there is not a single principled public figure in America who has pointed out that America's rape of Iraq violates every international law and moral precept that has ever been written by the great minds of the past? That the dispersal of uranium all over Central Asia will kill millions? That the clumsy coverup of the inside job of mass murder on 9/11 was the ultimate betrayal of all Americans? What ARE Americans doing? Cowering in their undefendable homes and waiting for the end?
The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, chaired by former New Jersey governor Thomas Kean and better known as the 9/11 Commission, entertained news junkies across America with two full days of hearings last week.
"I believe I have a very strong case supporting the claim that the US Government is violating my civil rights. My words are being altered, I've received numerous demands from the FBI to shut down my website "or else," and I have been physically assaulted by the US Government for exercising my Free Speech rights on the street."
Rogue journalist Hunter S. Thompson, in a Rolling Stone article from July 4 1973 titled 'Fear and Loathing in Washington: The Boys in the Bag,' described the looming sense of doomed finality which surrounded the Nixon White House after the existence of recorded Oval Office conversations became exposed. The Nixon White House had tried everything to that point to fend off the Watergate scandal: They denied everything, then tried to pay off the central figures, then fired a bunch of people, denied everything again, and finally released edited transcripts of the White House tapes in an effort to stem the tide that was about to flood them out of power.
"There are a hundred or more people wandering around Washington today," wrote Thompson, "who have heard the 'real stuff,' as they put it - and despite their professional caution when the obvious question arises, there is one reaction they all feel free to agree on: that nobody who felt shocked, depressed or angry after reading the edited White House transcripts should ever be allowed to hear the actual tapes, except under heavy sedation or locked in the trunk of a car. Only a terminal cynic, they say, can listen for any length of time to the real stuff without feeling a compulsion to do something like drive down to the White House and throw a bag of live rats over the fence." in 2004, Richard Clarke, Tom Maertens, Roger Cressey, Donald Kerrick, Paul O'Neill, Joseph Wilson, Greg Thielmann, Karen Kwiatkowski and Rand Beers are telling the world about the real stuff. The Bush/Cheney Re-Election Axis is terrified, and the Secret Service detail guarding the White House perimeter might want to cowboy up in preparation for a rain of rat bags coming over that fence.
The Bush estate has bet the political farm on 9/11.
The anger that we're now hearing from the White House is the sound of an administration being hoisted by its own 9/11 petard.
Philip Zelikow, who is now the executive director of the the 9/11 commission, suggests that a prime motive for the Iraq invasion just over one year ago was to eliminate a threat to Israel: Washington's biggest ally in the Middle East, receiving annual direct aid of three to four billion dollars.
"Why would Iraq attack America or use nuclear weapons against us? I'll tell you what I think the real threat (is) and actually has been since 1990 -- it's the threat against Israel," Zelikow told a crowd at the University of Virginia on Sep. 10, 2002, speaking on a panel of foreign policy experts assessing the impact of 9/11 and the future of the war on the al-Qaeda terrorist organization. "And this is the threat that dare not speak its name, because the Europeans don't care deeply about that threat, I will tell you frankly. And the American government doesn't want to lean too hard on it rhetorically, because it is not a popular sell," said Zelikow. The statements are the first to surface from a source closely linked to the Bush administration acknowledging that the war, which has so far cost the lives of nearly 600 U.S. troops and thousands of Iraqis, was motivated by Washington's desire to defend the Jewish state. The administration, which is surrounded by staunch pro-Israel, neo-conservative hawks, is currently fighting an extensive campaign to ward off accusations that it derailed the "war on terrorism" it launched after 9/11 by taking a detour to Iraq.
In a riveting television performance, Richard Clarke called on his principal critic and former employer, the national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, to release the entire record of their emails in the months up to the September 11 terror attacks to prove his contention that the White House did not then take the threat of al-Qaida seriously.
He also agreed to Republican demands to declassify testimony he gave to the Senate two years ago - to "prove" there were no inconsistencies. "Let's take all of my emails and all the memos I sent to the national security adviser and her deputy from January 20 to September 11 and let's declassify all of them," Mr Clarke told NBC television. Mr Clarke's bravura presentation surprised the Bush administration. The decision to stand his ground could also be destructive to Ms Rice.
Government lawyers on Monday contended that Attorney General John Ashcroft named Dr. Steven J. Hatfill a ``person of interest'' in the 2001 anthrax attacks to dampen speculation that the bioterrorism expert was a suspect.
Deputy Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Bucholtz said ``it's clear the attorney general was trying to downplay'' federal investigators' suspicions that Hatfill sent anthrax-laced envelopes to government and media offices in October 2001. Hatfill lawyer Mark A. Grannis scoffed at the idea the government was trying to help his client. ``Mr. Ashcroft acted to protect both the department and his own political image at the expense of Dr. Hatfill's constitutional rights,'' Grannis said at a hearing on the government's request that U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton throw out Hatfill's suit against Ashcroft and other government officials. Hatfill claims the officials named him to deflect attention from their inability to find whoever was responsible for the attacks, which killed five people and sickened 17 others. He still is the only publicly named ``person of interest'' in the case.
refusal to testify publicly before the panel investigating the Sept. 11 attacks, law experts said Monday.
There are several instances in which sitting national security advisers or White House aides testified before legislative bodies. Among them; Zbigniew Brzezinski and Sandy Berger.
The revelations of March 21 by former Bush counterterrorism chief Richard Clarke on CBS's "60 Minutes" detonated a virtual weapon of mass destruction amid the foundations of neocon war policy.
Senior officials conceded for the first time that on the day after the September 11 attacks President Bush pressed Mr Clarke to re-examine whether Iraq was involved.
Terrorist threat---My Ass!!!---We've been lied to and I can prove it. Despite what the Bush junta tells us about a terrorist threat in this country---they're damn liars.
