Richard Sale, UPI Intelligence Correspondent, wrote about Saddam and the CIA on 4/10/2003.
According to Sale, British scholars and former U.S. diplomats and intelligence officials say that Saddam Hussein was used by the U.S. intelligences services for over 40 years.
In 1959, Saddam was part of a CIA-authorized six-man squad trying to assassinate Iraqi Prime Minister Gen. Abd al-Karim Qasim.
CIA operative Miles Copeland told UPI the CIA had had "close ties" with Iraq's Baath Party, and with the Egyptian intelligence service. Roger Morris, a former National Security Council staffer, confirmed that the CIA had chosen the Baath Party "as its instrument."
According to another former senior State Department official, Saddam was in his early 20s, when he became a part of the U.S. plot to get rid of Qasim.
Adel Darwish, Middle East expert and author of "Unholy Babylon," said that Saddam's CIA handler was an Iraqi dentist working for CIA and Egyptian intelligence. U.S. officials separately confirmed Darwish's account.
The 1959 assassination was botched. Qasim escaped death, and Saddam escaped to Tikrit, thanks to CIA and Egyptian intelligence agents, several U.S. government officials said.
Saddam then moved to Beirut, according to Darwish and former senior CIA officials. In Beirut, the CIA put Saddam through a training course, former CIA officials said.
Saddam then moved to Cairo. According to former U.S. intelligence officials, Saddam made frequent visits to the American Embassy.
In 1963 Qasim was killed in a Baath Party coup. Morris claimed that the CIA was behind the coup.
The CIA provided the Iraqi National Guardsmen with lists of suspected communists who were then murdered, according to former U.S. intelligence officials.
Middle East expert Adel Darwish told UPI that Saddam presided over the mass killings.
A former senior CIA official said: "It was a bit like the mysterious killings of Iran's communists just after Ayatollah Khomeini came to power in 1979. All 4,000 of his communists suddenly got killed."
Saddam became head of al-Jihaz a-Khas, the secret intelligence service of the Baath Party.
The CIA/Defense Intelligence Agency connection with Saddam continued.
According to a former DIA official, the U.S. shared satellite intelligence with both Iraq and Iran during the Iran-Iraq war in an attempt to produce a military stalemate.

Child sex ring linked to top Americans?
http://tomflocco.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=107&mode=&order=0&thold=0
Tom Flocco has written about child sex and top Americans.
According to Tom Flocco, Photographer Russell Nelson was arrested two days after Hunter Thompson reportedly committed suicide. Thomson was rumoured to be investigating child-sex links to top people.
Nelson was allegedly employed by a former Republican Party activist to take pictures of U.S. House-Senate members and other top government officials engaging in sex with children during the Reagan-Bush 41 administrations.
Pedophile victim Paul Bonacci, reportedly kidnapped and forced into sex slavery between the ages of 6 and 17, told U.S. District Court Judge Warren Urbom in sworn testimony on February 5, 1999: "Where were the parties?...down in Washington, DC...and that was for sex...There was sex between adult men and other adult men but most of it had to do with young boys and young girls with the older folks...specifically for sex with minors...Also in Washington, DC, there were parties after a party...there were a lot of parties where there would be senators and congressmen who had nothing to do with the sexual stuff. But there were some senators and congressmen who stayed for the [pedophile sex] parties afterwards...on a lot of the trips he took us on he had us, I mean, I met some people that I don't feel comfortable telling their name because I don't want to --- ...Q: Are you scared?...Yes..."
In his testimony to Judge Urbom, Bonacci reportedly named Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA) as having participated in the parties. Urbom did not ask Bonacci to identify photos of specific senators and congressmen, or reveal their names in court. Urbom awarded Paul Bonacci $1 million for child abuse on February 19, 1999 regarding his lawsuit involving Republican party operative Larry King.
Bonacci said about Larry King: "I threatened to go to the police in California, thought maybe they would listen whereas in Omaha they were in his pocketbook...he had me hung out of an airplane with a rope by my ankles...If they wanted to get something passed through the legislature, he would put some people that were against it in a compromising position. By using us boys and girls...Judge Urbom: Was this by your being the sexual partner of that person?...Yes...Judge Urbom: ...Any estimates of how often you participated as the sexual partner of one of these persons that he wanted to get some kind of control over?...There were times when it would be four or five in a night...on probably a couple thousand times...sometimes dozens of times with the same person..."
Paul Bonacci claimed the sex ring was based at Offutt U.S. Air Force Base near Omaha. Bonacci said he was abused at the air force base from the age of three onwards. The abuse began in 1970. At Offutt, Paul said he was "trained" by tortures, heavy drugging and sexual degradation.
Offutt AFB was George W. Bush post 9 11 headquarters for a short period.
Larry King was reportedly released from prison on April 11, 2001 after serving about five years.
GOP operative Larry King allegedly hired photographers to capture legislators and high officials in compromising sexual positions with children
Rusty Nelson reportedly confirmed Bonacci’s testimony to Judge Urbom: "Q: Children on the airplane?...yes. Q: How young?...There was one situation went back to Washington, DC...he had probably 10, 12 years old...Q: Boys, girls?...Both...Q: Who attended the parties?...Prominent business people, very prominent high-ranking officials, politicians. The younger people. What would transpire was they would have a party and then a party after the party...after the party was more of a sex-type deal...That’s what Larry [King] would -- -- Q: These old politicians were having sex with each other?...Or people Larry would bring...some younger people...Did you take pictures of the parties?...I took pictures at some of the parties, yes..."
The Secret Service allegedly allowed Paul Bonacci into the White House on July 3, 1988.
A June 29, 1989 Washington Times front page story was headed: "Homosexual prostitution inquiry ensnares VIPs with Reagan, Bush."
Reporters Paul Rodriguez and George Archibald said "Call-boys took midnight tour of White House."
According to a Nebraska state police report, pedophile victims Nelly and Kimberly Webb detailed a massive child sex, homosexual and pornography operation run out of Nebraska by Larry King, but with close ties directly to the White House.
A Nebraska Dept. of Social Services report, by Mrs Julie Walters: "Nelly indicates she attended a party in Chicago with King and the male youths. She indicated George Bush was present...she sat at a table at the party wearing nothing but a negligee. She stated George Bush saw her on the table. She stated she saw George Bush pay King money and Bush left the party with a nineteen year old black boy named Brent."

Vladimir Volkov and Julia Dänenberg wrote about Russia in WSWS, 11 March 2005:
Up to 40% of the Russian population lives below the poverty line - monthly income less than 30 euros, or $38.
At the end of 2003, average monthly income was 60 euros/$77 a month.
The incidence of tuberculosis in Russia is 10 times higher than in Europe.
Since the beginning of the 1990s, 8 million Russians have died prematurely.
The average Russian man can presently expect to live only to 58.
Today, the minimum wage covers only 27 percent of what is needed to sustain an adult of working age. In the Soviet Union, the minimum wage amounted to one-and-a-half times the minimum required consumption.
The wealthy include Roman Abramovich, governor of of Chukotka and owner of a controlling interest in the Russian oil giant Sibneft.
Russia is ranked third in the world for the number of billionaires.

Iraq - Kurds have power to block foreign troop withdrawal.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/Columnists/Column/0,5673,1436988,00.html
Naomi Klein writes in today's Guardian:
"The US-authored interim constitution requires that all major decisions have the support of two-thirds or, in some cases, three-quarters of the assembly - an absurdly high figure that gives the Kurds the power to block any call for foreign troop withdrawal, any attempt to roll back Bremer's economic orders, and any part of a new constitution."

Why do I buy the Guardian? Because it has writers like Naomi Klein, Michael Meacher and George Monbiot.
I also read the Mail on Sunday. The Mail group, to its credit, has had articles that are sceptical about the official versions of the events surrounding the Locherbie Bomb and 9 11.
I no longer read the Mirror because it sacked its anti-war editor.

1962 - The American Joint Chiefs of Staff had a plan called Operation Northwoods. If Operation Northwoods had not been vetoed by President Kennedy, the USA would have secretly carried out acts of terrorism in the USA in order to justify a US invasion of Cuba. Operation Northwoods suggested staging assassinations, carrying out bomb explosions in US cities, sinking a boatload of refugees, faking a Cuban airforce attack on a civilian jetliner, and blowing up a US ship in Cuban waters.

In Germany, former government minister Andreas von Buelow dismissed the US government's explanation that Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network was responsible for the attacks on 9 11. His own explanation implicated the White House.
"I wonder why many questions are not asked," von Buelow said. "For 60 decisive minutes, the military and intelligence agencies let the fighter planes stay on the ground; 48 hours later, however, the FBI presented a list of suicide attackers. Within 10 days, it emerged that seven of them were still alive."
Ian Mulgrew, in the Vancouver Sun, 23 Feb 02: "Just as there remains lingering doubt that Lee Harvey Oswald fired a burst of fatally accurate shots from the Texas Book Depository, so there is skepticism that cells of Islamic terrorists secretly coordinated and simultaneously commandeered four commercial jetliners.
"The culprit responsible for the Sept. 11 attack is now rumoured to be the same one who lurked behind the grassy knoll: the oil-dependent U.S. military-industrial complex...."

AMERICAN FASCIST CONTROL OF OUR LIVES
NEW ZEALAND:
"Lange says US threatened to kill him." That was the story from New Zealand's Independent newspapers Ltd on 27 March 2002.
Former US vice-president Dan Quayle reportedly told the Australian Cabinet that David Lange, New Zealand Prime Minister from 1984-89, "would have to be liquidated."
Mr Lange made the claim in a television interview about the pressure put on him over New Zealand's anti-nuclear stance during his time as prime minister. "There were personal pressures," he said. "There were veiled threats. There were specific threats. There were threats made to other countries. (It) was announced to the Australian Cabinet at one stage that I would have to be liquidated."
He said the announcement had been made by Mr Quayle during a visit to Australia in 1989. Asked to repeat what Mr Quayle said, Mr Lange said: "I'd have to be liquidated."
Former New Zealand Labour Party president Bob Harvey suggested in 1999 that prime minister Norman Kirk had been poisoned by the CIA in 1974.
ITALY:
Guardian 24 6 2000 "A 300-page report (to the Italian parliament) says that the United States was responsible for inspiring a "strategy of tension" in which indiscriminate bombing of the public and the threat of a rightwing coup were used to stabilise centre-right political control of the country."
General Gianadelio Maletti, former head of SID, the Italian military counter-intelligence service, revealed to a Milan court in March 2001 that US intelligence services had instigated and abetted rightwing terrorism in Italy during the 1970s. For instance, General Maletti's men had discovered that a right wing terrorist cell in the Venice region had been supplied with military explosives from Germany with the help of US intelligence. Maletti told the court, "The CIA wanted to create an Italian nationalism capable of halting what it saw as a slide to the left, and for this purpose, it made use of rightwing terrorism. I believe this is what happened in other countries as well."
Maletti gave evidence of the CIA's involvement in the bombing of a bank in Milan's Piazza Fontana, an atrocity that inaugurated the "strategy of tension", a series of bombings intended to shift the country's political centre of gravity to the right. In 1973, four members of the public were killed and 45 injured when an anarchist, Gianfranco Bertoli, hurled a grenade into a crowd outside police headquarters in Milan. It was later revealed that Bertoli was really a right-winger and a long-standing SID informant codenamed Negro.
From: Http://www.wakeupmag.co.uk/articles/cia6.htm
"Under the guise of 'left wing insurgency', Operation Gladio embarked on a reign of terrorist bombings across the country that left at least 300 dead.
"The bombings were blamed on the extreme left as part of a strategy to mould public opinion to the idea of an alternative government taking power by force. The Gladio personnel created a parallel government called P2 (Propaganda Duo), a neo-fascist Masonic Lodge composed of most of the country's top military officers, political leaders, industrialists, bankers, and diplomats.
"P2 had close connections with the CIA and carried out drug smuggling missions and assassinations for them.
"They infiltrated the Red Brigades and carried out the murder of Aldo Moro in 1978. Colonel Oswald Le Winter of the CIA, who served as U.S. liaison officer with Gladio, has stated that the planning staff of the Red Brigades was made up of CIA intelligence agents.
"Gladio also carried out the bomb attack on Bologna Railway station in 1980 in which 85 people were killed and hundreds injured. The outcry over this led to the exposure of much of the conspiracy and the CIA arranged for P2's Grandmaster, fascist Lucio Gelli to escape to Argentina."
BELGIUM:
"In Belgium the Stay Behind group SDRA-8 was linked with terror tactics and coup attempts.
"In 1983, in order to convince the Belgian public that a security crisis existed, Gladio operatives and police officers staged a series of seemingly random shootings in supermarkets.
"The following year, a group of U.S. marines parachuted into Belgium and attacked a police station. A civilian died in the operation, which was intended to give the impression that the country was on the brink of Red revolution. Guns used in the operation were later planted in a Brussels house used by a Communist splinter group."
SWEDEN :
"In Sweden, ex-SS officers were recruited into a Stay Behind organisation called Sveaborg and the CIA arranged for P2 to assassinate Swedish Premier Olaf Palme."
GREECE: "In the April 1967 national elections in Greece, the veteran liberal leader George Papandreou seemed certain to be re-elected as prime minister. Papandreou had been elected in 1964 with the only outright majority in the history of modern Greek elections. A joint campaign by the Greek military and the CIA to unseat him began immediately... The Gladio 'Sheepskin' group was involved in a campaign of terrorist bombings, which were blamed on the left, and two days before the election campaign was to begin, a military coup brought to power a junta led by George Papadopoulos, a member of the Greek intelligence service KYP.
"The CIA had created the KYP and Papadopoulos was on the payroll of the Agency for some 15 years. Along with hundreds of other KYP officers, he had received training in anti-subversive techniques in the United States. Papadopoulos was "a great believer in Hitler's new ordert; ...he plunged Greece for the next seven years into a nightmare of martial law, censorship, arrests, beatings, torture and murders. 8,000 were killed in the first month alone. Before the end of the year, Amnesty International reported that "torture as a deliberate practice is carried out by the Security Police and the Military Police." The Greek junta contributed $549,000 to the 1968 Nixon-Agnew election campaign in the United States. A Senate investigation to discover if this was CIA money finding its way back home, was abruptly cancelled at the direct request of Henry Kissinger.

"In 1991, it was revealed that some 500 prominent Britons were paid by the CIA through the corrupt Bank of Commerce and Credit International (BCCI). They included ninety journalists and broadcasters, many in 'senior positions.'"
"The Labour Party, moulded by American and British intelligence in the Gaitskell image, with its policies firmly rooted in Crosland's manifestos, became the programme of the next Labour government under Harold Wilson.
"Michael Stewart, foreign secretary in the Wilson government during the escalation of U.S. military action in Vietnam, and Sam Watson, the powerful Durham miners' leader and ally of Gaitskell, were among those who have since been identified as CIA 'agents of influence.'
"Charles Clarke, who was Neil Kinnock's closest political adviser throughout his years as labour leader, had a background as chair of the World Youth Council, which had well-documented CIA links.
"CIA-backed fronts such as the Labour Committee for Transatlantic Understanding (LCTU) continued to attract right-wing trade union and Labour Party figures well into the 1980s....
"Speakers at LCTU's conferences have included Dr John Reid MP (later to become Tony Blair's armed forces minister) Peter Mandelson MP, and George Robertson MP (Blair's defence secretary).
"Another example of infiltration into the Labour Party was the case of MI6 officer Margaret "Meta" Ramsay... In 1962, she became associate secretary of the CIA-front the International Student Conference at Leiden, Holland. From 1965 to 1967, Ramsay was secretary of the Fund for International Student Co-operation, which was later identified as another recipient of CIA funds.
"She became an active member of the Labour Party, attending conferences where party officials were "unaware" of her intelligence connections. In late 1981, she was even on the short-list to become the new chief of MI6.
"In August 1992, Margaret Ramsay was appointed to the position of foreign policy adviser to Labour leader John Smith... What was the leader of the Labour Party doing employing a known high-ranking MI6 agent in such a senior position?
"Today, Tony Blair maintains the CIA's designs for the Labour party, with a commitment to the largest military budget in Europe and an unswerving allegiance to NATO.
"The assortment of transatlantic study trips, scholarships, trade union "fellowships" at Harvard and seminars paid for by U.S. agencies and the CIA continue to mould and influence Labour Party policies. For example, both Gordon Brown and John Monks (an important Blair ally as head of the TUC) were welcomed by the secretive Bilderberg Group (one of the key organisations of the European-American elite.) Brown and his economic adviser Edward Balls were both at Harvard. David Miliband, Blair's head of policy, was at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
"In 1986, Tony Blair went on one of the myriad of U.S.-sponsored trips to America that are available for promising MPs and came back a supporter of the nuclear deterrent. In 1993, he went to a meeting of the Bilderberg Group.
Jonathan Powell, Blair's foreign policy advisor, used to work in the British embassy in Washington and is suspected by some of having been the liaison officer between British intelligence and the CIA.
"In 1976, Peter Mandelson was Chair of the British Youth Council, which began as the British section of the World Assembly of Youth, which as we have seen, was set up and financed by the CIA. By Mandelson's time in the mid-1970s, the British Youth Council was said to be financed by the Foreign Office, though this was thought to be a euphemism for MI6.
"A variety of senior Labour politicians - Peter Mandelson, George Robertson, Mo Mowlam, Chris Smith, Elizabeth Symons, George Robertson and Blair's chief of staff Jonathan Powell, were members of the British-American Project for the Successor Generation (BAP), a little-known but highly influential transatlantic network of "chosen" politicians, journalists and academics.
"The fingerprints of British and American intelligence are everywhere to be found amongst the network of BAP members; regular attenders at BAP meetings are defence and security specialists, NATO advisers, Defence Ministry think-tank people and counter-insurgency experts.
"Also included is Jonathan Powell, the career diplomat who now runs Tony Blair's No. 10 office as chief of staff. Powell is the youngest of the Powell brothers, of whom Charles, the eldest, was Margaret Thatcher's foreign policy specialist. At BAP conferences, subjects discussed include such titles as 'Sharing the Defense Burden' and 'The Welfare State on Trial'.
"All of Blair's new political appointees at the Ministry of Defence, including Defence Secretary George Robertson, have been members or associated with the Atlantic Council and its labour movement wing, the Trades Union Committee for European and Transatlantic Understanding (TUCETU), which formed from the a fore-mentioned Labour Committee for Transatlantic Understanding (LCTU), organisations that are backed by the CIA."

PART 2 THE MOTIVE BEHIND 9 11

"We need a series of wars
1. so Western leaders don't get the blame for the growing economic depression; and to help the West get out of that depression
2. to turn world opinion in favour of Israel/America and against Moslems like Arafat
3. to help the narco-military-industrial complex
4. to give the US control of the oil wealth of Central Asia and the Middle East
5. to entrap and kill Moslem 'militants' who oppose the US policy of support for Israel and corrupt Moslem regimes....
6. to increase 'control' over electorates.
So let's bring down the World Trade Centre using aircraft flown by remote control. And let's turn our agent Tim Osman, or Osama bin Laden, into the bogeyman. Al Qaeda at the upper levels will be run by the spy agencies, and at the lower levels will be made up of criminals and fanatics."

Surely the mainstream media would not lie to us?
The CIA's Operation Mockingbird was the attempt to takeover the mainstream me dia.
"Starting in the early days of the Cold War (late 40's), the CIA began a secret project called Operation Mockingbird, with the intent of buying influence behind the scenes at major media outlets and putting reporters on the CIA payroll, which has proven to be a stunning ongoing success...
"Media assets will eventually include ABC, NBC, CBS, Time, Newsweek, Associated Press, United Press International (UPI), Reuters, Hearst Newspapers, Scripps-Howard, Copley News Service, etc. and 400 journalists, who have secretly carried out assignments according to documents on file at CIA headquarters, from intelligence-gathering to serving as go-betweens. The CIA had infiltrated the nation's businesses, media, and universities with tens of thousands of on-call operatives by the 1950's."

"The CIA called this Operation Cyclone and in the following years poured $4 billion into setting up Islamic training schools in Pakistan (Taliban means "student").
"Young zealots were sent to the CIA's spy training camp in Virginia, where future members of al-Qaeda were taught "sabotage skills" - terrorism.
"Others were recruited at an Islamic school in Brooklyn, New York, within sight of the fated Twin Towers.
"In Pakistan, they were directed by British MI6 officers and
trained by the SAS.
"The result, quipped Brzezinski, was 'a few stirred up Muslims' - meaning the Taliban."

Ian Mulgrew, in the Vancouver Sun, 23 Feb 02: "Just as there remains lingering doubt that Lee Harvey Oswald fired a burst of fatally accurate shots from the Texas Book Depository, so there is skepticism that cells of Islamic terrorists secretly coordinated and simultaneously commandeered four commercial jetliners.
"The culprit responsible for the Sept. 11 attack is now rumoured to be the same one who lurked behind the grassy knoll: the oil-dependent U.S. military-industrial complex...."

AMERICAN FASCIST CONTROL OF OUR LIVES
NEW ZEALAND:
"Lange says US threatened to kill him." That was the story from New Zealand's Independent newspapers Ltd on 27 March 2002.
Former US vice-president Dan Quayle reportedly told the Australian Cabinet that David Lange, New Zealand Prime Minister from 1984-89, "would have to be liquidated."
Mr Lange made the claim in a television interview about the pressure put on him over New Zealand's anti-nuclear stance during his time as prime minister. "There were personal pressures," he said. "There were veiled threats. There were specific threats. There were threats made to other countries. (It) was announced to the Australian Cabinet at one stage that I would have to be liquidated."
He said the announcement had been made by Mr Quayle during a visit to Australia in 1989. Asked to repeat what Mr Quayle said, Mr Lange said: "I'd have to be liquidated."
Former New Zealand Labour Party president Bob Harvey suggested in 1999 that prime minister Norman Kirk had been poisoned by the CIA in 1974.
ITALY:
Guardian 24 6 2000 "A 300-page report (to the Italian parliament) says that the United States was responsible for inspiring a "strategy of tension" in which indiscriminate bombing of the public and the threat of a rightwing coup were used to stabilise centre-right political control of the country."
General Gianadelio Maletti, former head of SID, the Italian military counter-intelligence service, revealed to a Milan court in March 2001 that US intelligence services had instigated and abetted rightwing terrorism in Italy during the 1970s. For instance, General Maletti's men had discovered that a right wing terrorist cell in the Venice region had been supplied with military explosives from Germany with the help of US intelligence. Maletti told the court, "The CIA wanted to create an Italian nationalism capable of halting what it saw as a slide to the left, and for this purpose, it made use of rightwing terrorism. I believe this is what happened in other countries as well."
Maletti gave evidence of the CIA's involvement in the bombing of a bank in Milan's Piazza Fontana, an atrocity that inaugurated the "strategy of tension", a series of bombings intended to shift the country's political centre of gravity to the right. In 1973, four members of the public were killed and 45 injured when an anarchist, Gianfranco Bertoli, hurled a grenade into a crowd outside police headquarters in Milan. It was later revealed that Bertoli was really a right-winger and a long-standing SID informant codenamed Negro.

"Under the guise of 'left wing insurgency', Operation Gladio embarked on a reign of terrorist bombings across the country that left at least 300 dead.
"The bombings were blamed on the extreme left as part of a strategy to mould public opinion to the idea of an alternative government taking power by force. The Gladio personnel created a parallel government called P2 (Propaganda Duo), a neo-fascist Masonic Lodge composed of most of the country's top military officers, political leaders, industrialists, bankers, and diplomats.
"P2 had close connections with the CIA and carried out drug smuggling missions and assassinations for them.
"They infiltrated the Red Brigades and carried out the murder of Aldo Moro in 1978. Colonel Oswald Le Winter of the CIA, who served as U.S. liaison officer with Gladio, has stated that the planning staff of the Red Brigades was made up of CIA intelligence agents.
"Gladio also carried out the bomb attack on Bologna Railway station in 1980 in which 85 people were killed and hundreds injured. The outcry over this led to the exposure of much of the conspiracy and the CIA arranged for P2's Grandmaster, fascist Lucio Gelli to escape to Argentina."
BELGIUM:
"In Belgium the Stay Behind group SDRA-8 was linked with terror tactics and coup attempts.
"In 1983, in order to convince the Belgian public that a security crisis existed, Gladio operatives and police officers staged a series of seemingly random shootings in supermarkets.
"The following year, a group of U.S. marines parachuted into Belgium and attacked a police station. A civilian died in the operation, which was intended to give the impression that the country was on the brink of Red revolution. Guns used in the operation were later planted in a Brussels house used by a Communist splinter group."
SWEDEN :
"In Sweden, ex-SS officers were recruited into a Stay Behind organisation called Sveaborg and the CIA arranged for P2 to assassinate Swedish Premier Olaf Palme."
GREECE: "In the April 1967 national elections in Greece, the veteran liberal leader George Papandreou seemed certain to be re-elected as prime minister. Papandreou had been elected in 1964 with the only outright majority in the history of modern Greek elections. A joint campaign by the Greek military and the CIA to unseat him began immediately... The Gladio 'Sheepskin' group was involved in a campaign of terrorist bombings, which were blamed on the left, and two days before the election campaign was to begin, a military coup brought to power a junta led by George Papadopoulos, a member of the Greek intelligence service KYP.
"The CIA had created the KYP and Papadopoulos was on the payroll of the Agency for some 15 years. Along with hundreds of other KYP officers, he had received training in anti-subversive techniques in the United States. Papadopoulos was "a great believer in Hitler's new ordert; ...he plunged Greece for the next seven years into a nightmare of martial law, censorship, arrests, beatings, torture and murders. 8,000 were killed in the first month alone. Before the end of the year, Amnesty International reported that "torture as a deliberate practice is carried out by the Security Police and the Military Police." The Greek junta contributed $549,000 to the 1968 Nixon-Agnew election campaign in the United States. A Senate investigation to discover if this was CIA money finding its way back home, was abruptly cancelled at the direct request of Henry Kissinger.
UNITED KINGDOM

"In 1991, it was revealed that some 500 prominent Britons were paid by the CIA through the corrupt Bank of Commerce and Credit International (BCCI). They included ninety journalists and broadcasters, many in 'senior positions.'"
"The Labour Party, moulded by American and British intelligence in the Gaitskell image, with its policies firmly rooted in Crosland's manifestos, became the programme of the next Labour government under Harold Wilson.
"Michael Stewart, foreign secretary in the Wilson government during the escalation of U.S. military action in Vietnam, and Sam Watson, the powerful Durham miners' leader and ally of Gaitskell, were among those who have since been identified as CIA 'agents of influence.'
"Charles Clarke, who was Neil Kinnock's closest political adviser throughout his years as labour leader, had a background as chair of the World Youth Council, which had well-documented CIA links.
"CIA-backed fronts such as the Labour Committee for Transatlantic Understanding (LCTU) continued to attract right-wing trade union and Labour Party figures well into the 1980s....
"Speakers at LCTU's conferences have included Dr John Reid MP (later to become Tony Blair's armed forces minister) Peter Mandelson MP, and George Robertson MP (Blair's defence secretary).
"Another example of infiltration into the Labour Party was the case of MI6 officer Margaret "Meta" Ramsay... In 1962, she became associate secretary of the CIA-front the International Student Conference at Leiden, Holland. From 1965 to 1967, Ramsay was secretary of the Fund for International Student Co-operation, which was later identified as another recipient of CIA funds.
"She became an active member of the Labour Party, attending conferences where party officials were "unaware" of her intelligence connections. In late 1981, she was even on the short-list to become the new chief of MI6.
"In August 1992, Margaret Ramsay was appointed to the position of foreign policy adviser to Labour leader John Smith... What was the leader of the Labour Party doing employing a known high-ranking MI6 agent in such a senior position?
"Today, Tony Blair maintains the CIA's designs for the Labour party, with a commitment to the largest military budget in Europe and an unswerving allegiance to NATO.
"The assortment of transatlantic study trips, scholarships, trade union "fellowships" at Harvard and seminars paid for by U.S. agencies and the CIA continue to mould and influence Labour Party policies. For example, both Gordon Brown and John Monks (an important Blair ally as head of the TUC) were welcomed by the secretive Bilderberg Group (one of the key organisations of the European-American elite.) Brown and his economic adviser Edward Balls were both at Harvard. David Miliband, Blair's head of policy, was at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
"In 1986, Tony Blair went on one of the myriad of U.S.-sponsored trips to America that are available for promising MPs and came back a supporter of the nuclear deterrent. In 1993, he went to a meeting of the Bilderberg Group.
Jonathan Powell, Blair's foreign policy advisor, used to work in the British embassy in Washington and is suspected by some of having been the liaison officer between British intelligence and the CIA.
"In 1976, Peter Mandelson was Chair of the British Youth Council, which began as the British section of the World Assembly of Youth, which as we have seen, was set up and financed by the CIA. By Mandelson's time in the mid-1970s, the British Youth Council was said to be financed by the Foreign Office, though this was thought to be a euphemism for MI6.
"A variety of senior Labour politicians - Peter Mandelson, George Robertson, Mo Mowlam, Chris Smith, Elizabeth Symons, George Robertson and Blair's chief of staff Jonathan Powell, were members of the British-American Project for the Successor Generation (BAP), a little-known but highly influential transatlantic network of "chosen" politicians, journalists and academics.
"The fingerprints of British and American intelligence are everywhere to be found amongst the network of BAP members; regular attenders at BAP meetings are defence and security specialists, NATO advisers, Defence Ministry think-tank people and counter-insurgency experts.
"Also included is Jonathan Powell, the career diplomat who now runs Tony Blair's No. 10 office as chief of staff. Powell is the youngest of the Powell brothers, of whom Charles, the eldest, was Margaret Thatcher's foreign policy specialist. At BAP conferences, subjects discussed include such titles as 'Sharing the Defense Burden' and 'The Welfare State on Trial'.
"All of Blair's new political appointees at the Ministry of Defence, including Defence Secretary George Robertson, have been members or associated with the Atlantic Council and its labour movement wing, the Trades Union Committee for European and Transatlantic Understanding (TUCETU), which formed from the a fore-mentioned Labour Committee for Transatlantic Understanding (LCTU), organisations that are backed by the CIA."

PART 2 THE MOTIVE BEHIND 9 11
###########################################################
"We need a series of wars
1. so Western leaders don't get the blame for the growing economic depression; and to help the West get out of that depression
2. to turn world opinion in favour of Israel/America and against Moslems like Arafat
3. to help the narco-military-industrial complex
4. to give the US control of the oil wealth of Central Asia and the Middle East
5. to entrap and kill Moslem 'militants' who oppose the US policy of support for Israel and corrupt Moslem regimes....
6. to increase 'control' over electorates.
So let's bring down the World Trade Centre using aircraft flown by remote control. And let's turn our agent Tim Osman, or Osama bin Laden, into the bogeyman. Al Qaeda at the upper levels will be run by the spy agencies, and at the lower levels will be made up of criminals and fanatics."
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
"We want to persuade the Americans 1. to take their troops out of Arabia, 2. to stop bombing civilians in Iraq 3. to be more sympathetic to Arafat and the Palestinians.
So let's bring down the World Trade Centre - to win over American and world opinion."

PART 3 HOW COULD THE AMERICAN FASCISTS GET AWAY WITH IT?

Surely the mainstream media would not lie to us?
The CIA's Operation Mockingbird was the attempt to takeover the mainstream me dia.
"Starting in the early days of the Cold War (late 40's), the CIA began a secret project called Operation Mockingbird, with the intent of buying influence behind the scenes at major media outlets and putting reporters on the CIA payroll, which has proven to be a stunning ongoing success...
"Media assets will eventually include ABC, NBC, CBS, Time, Newsweek, Associated Press, United Press International (UPI), Reuters, Hearst Newspapers, Scripps-Howard, Copley News Service, etc. and 400 journalists, who have secretly carried out assignments according to documents on file at CIA headquarters, from intelligence-gathering to serving as go-betweens. The CIA had infiltrated the nation's businesses, media, and universities with tens of thousands of on-call operatives by the 1950's."

PART 4 WHERE DO ALL THESE MOSLEM EXTREMISTS COME FROM?
###########################################################
"Zbigniew Brzezinski not long ago revealed that on July 3, 1979, unknown to the American public and Congress, President Jimmy Carter secretly authorized $500 million to create an international terrorist movement that would spread Islamic fundamentalism in Central Asia and "de-stabilise" the Soviet Union...
"The CIA called this Operation Cyclone and in the following years poured $4 billion into setting up Islamic training schools in Pakistan (Taliban means "student").
"Young zealots were sent to the CIA's spy training camp in Virginia, where future members of al-Qaeda were taught "sabotage skills" - terrorism.
"Others were recruited at an Islamic school in Brooklyn, New York, within sight of the fated Twin Towers.
"In Pakistan, they were directed by British MI6 officers and
trained by the SAS.
"The result, quipped Brzezinski, was 'a few stirred up Muslims' - meaning the Taliban."
http://rense.com/general31/cyc.htm
For many years, the USA has opposed democratic movements in Moslem countries. For many years the USA has promoted fundamentalist Moslem extremism as a way of exercising control over Moslem countries.
In Iran, Mossadeq was toppled with the help of the CIA and a dictatorship was put in place. When the Shah became too 'independent' it is suspected by some that the US began promoting the fundamentalists.
In Egypt, moves were made to undermine Nasser, in the hope that a more feudal leadership would take over.
In Indonesia, the CIA and MI6 used Moslem militants to undermine Sukarno so that he could be replaced by the military dictator Suharto. Up to a million opponents of Suharto, including trade-unionists and democrats, were murdered in a genocide supported by the CIA. Suharto, in order to divide his Moslem opponents, hit at the moderates and encouraged the extremists. He set up fake 'Moslem' militias to fight his battles. Terror froup Laskar Jihad was run by the US-trained Indonesian military. Most recent bomb explosions in Indonesia have been blamed on the military. Many analysts believe the Bali bomb was the work of the army. Militant 'Moslem' groups are usually run by the secular-minded security services.
In Pakistan the CIA backed the military and Islamic hardliners. During the 1971 civil war in East Pakistan/ Bangladesh, the Pakistan army used Moslem extremists to attack moderates and democrats.
In Iraq, the USA armed the dictator, Saddam.
In Saudi Arabia, the USA backed the corrupt feudal leaders and their fundamentalist supporters.
When a Moslem party was about to win an election in Algeria, the Algerian army, apparently backed by the USA, stepped in to cancel the election. Soldiers disguised as Moslem militants reportedly carried out massacres of opponents.
In Afghanistan President Carter helped the fundamentalists to rise to power, as a way of luring in the Russians. In Afghanistan, the CIA backed the fundamentalists and helped to develop the heroin trade.
The US wants to place large numbers of troops in the Philippines, partly to keep an eye on China, and partly to prevent reformists from taking power. 'Moslem' terrorist activity in the Philippines is allegedly the work of the CIA
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
How many of the 'hijackers' of 11 Sept. were Afghans or Iraqis? None. How many Afghans and Iraqis have been murdered by US and British forces? Over 100,000. Which would have been more likely to lessen the threat to Britain and the USA - 1. reducing support for Israel and corrupt regimes in Moslem countries OR 2. killing over 100,000 innocent Moslems?

Alleged 9 11 hijacker Mohamad Atta chose to learn to fly in Venice Florida. According to Daniel Hopsicker of madcowprod.com, "Jackson Stephens, a name often linked with America's super-secret National Security Agency, has been an influential presence for several decades in the tiny town which served as port of entry into U.S. flight and even military training for the terrorist cadre implicated in the Sept 11 attack.
A block away from the Venice Florida airport stands an opulent three-story red brick building that is a monument to the rivers of money flowing through the Stephens financial empire...."
"The airfield where Mohamed Atta and his terrorist cadre learned to fly has a long history of being used as a training base for paramilitary operations by federal authorities, the Madcow news has learned exclusively.
"The Venice Airport, now notorious for two Dutch-owned flight schools which trained three of the four terrorist pilots in the Sept. 11 attack, has been utilized in covert U.S. operations since the earliest days of the Cold War, according to a top local law enforcement official.
"Venice was even targeted by the Soviet Union in the event of nuclear war, because of the military nature of certain activities taking place at the Airport," the official said.
"During the Vietnam War pilots were trained in Venice for the paramilitary operations of CIA-proprietary Air America, stated the official. So too were bush pilots, a decade-and-a-half later, during the conflicts in Central and South America during the Iran-Contra era. The federal activity continues to this day."

The USA does NOT want to capture bin Laden?
"In 1996...Sudan... offered to hand bin Laden over to Saudi Arabia or ...America." Guardian 17/10/01 James Astill.
"If America had had something against h im we would have looked at extraditing him," said el-Mahdi, Sudan's spy chief, quoted in the Guardian 17.10.01.
It was suggested that bin Laden be allowed to leave Sudan and go to Afghanistan. The CIA instructed, "Let him. " Guardian 17/10/01.
Is bin Laden a CIA agent whose purpose is to weaken and divide the Moslem world, and allow US/Israeli domination of Moslem nations from Tajikistan to Indonesia?
On 17/10/01 the Taliban offered to hand over bin Laden for trial in any country (other than the US) without asking to see evidence first! Guardian front page 17/10/01. "US officials appear to have dismissed the proposal," according to the Guardian.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
What links bin Laden to Mark Thatcher, John Major, former US defense secretary Frank Carlucci, former US Secretary of State James Baker, the Khashoggi brothers, King Hussein, Audi, Porsche, The Saudi Investment Company, the Al Yamana arms-for-oil deal, General Electric, Citigroup, Motorola, Unilever, ABN Amro Bank and, of course, George Bush?
This is like an Agatha Christie detective story, involving truly tragic events. Let's work out who done it. See if you can spot the links: brain washing, oil pipelines through Afghanistan, heroin, lap dancers, satanism.... and people pretending to be Islamic militants when they are not?
The Guardian (www.newsunlimited.co.uk):
"Muhammad bin Laden (Osama's father) came from Yemen...Starting out as a bricklayer for the Arabian-American Oil Company he earned under 15p per day....Within years he was self-employed...(and worth) $5 billion...
"The family developed close American contacts...which the CIA would later exploit...
"One contemporary, quoted in the Mideast Mirror, remembers Osama as "A HEAVY DRINKER WHO OFTEN ENDED UP EMBROILED IN SHOUTING MATCHES AND FIST FIGHTS WITH OTHER YOUNG MEN O VER AN ATTRACTIVE NIGHT-CLUB DANCER OR BARMAID..."
Sunday Herald: "The bin Laden boys were sent to study in Egypt's prestigious Victoria College in Alexandria, where their schoolmates included Hussein (King of Jordan)...and the Khashoggi brothers (arms dealers)....
"Salem bin laden was educated at Millfield (British private school)...
"Most of the bin Laden sons were educated at private schools in England...
The Daily Mail wrote that in the 1970's Salem bin Laden (brother of Osama) became a business partner of George W Bush. Salem and Bush were founders of the ARBUSTO Energy oil company in Texas. In 1978 Salem appointed Bush's close friend JAMES BATH as his representative in Texas. In the same year Mr Bath bought Houston Gulf Airport on behalf of Salem. Members of the bin Laden family are apparently frequent visitors to night clubs. Salem died in an air crash in Texas in 1983. The bin laden family run one of the biggest construction companies in the world.
TIME magazine described BATH in 1991 as 'a deal broker whose alleged associations run from the CIA to a major shareholder and director of the Bank of Crdit and Commerce International (BCCI) which closed its doors in 1991 amid charges of multibillion-dollar fraud and global news reports that the financial institution had been heavily involved in DRUG money laundering, ARMS brokering, covert intelligence work, bribery of government officials and AID TO TERRORISTS.'
www.sundayherald.com had a scoop, written by Neil MacKay (7/10/01):
"John Major...European head of multi-billion dollar US investment firm Carlyle Group took £1.5 million from bin Laden's relatives....It was used to buy several aerospace companies....
"The Carlyle group...is the world's largest global private equity firm...The former US defence secretary Frank Carlucci is the company's chairman. Carlyle is extremely clos e to the Saudi Royal family...Former president George Bush is the company's senior adviser to its Asian Partners fund, while his one time secretary of state, James Baker, is its senior counsellor. Bush, Carlucci and Baker have all visited the bin Laden family...in Jeddah."
Mackay points out that Khalifa bin Laden had possible links to violent activities in the Philippines, and Mahrous bin Laden had suspected links to violent activities in Saudi Arabia and yet both have always managed to 'walk free'. (Are they working for the CIA?)
MacKay writes: "There are reports Osama's step-mother and other family members attended the marriage of (Osama's) son in Kandahar in Afghanistan earlier this year....
"By the 1980's the Binladin Group was representing foreign companies in Saudi Arabia ranging from Audi and Porsche....
"Most of its international activities were routed through the Geneva offices of the Saudi Investment Company....
"The board of directors included members of the Shakarshi family, linked to a money-laundering scandal and drug-trafficking in Zurich...There have been allegations that the Zurich company was a CIA front...
"The bin Laden family- and Yeslam in particular- have long-standing links to Al Bilad, a London-Geneva company, used as part of the negotiations over the Anglo-Saudi Al Yamana arms-for-oil agreement, which was worth £21.5billion. Present at the negotiations was the now disgraced former Tory minister Jonathan Aiken. Mark Thatcher was also involved in the Al Yamana deal...
"The Carlyle Group counts former US President George Bush among its team. The former president met the bin Laden family in Jeddah in November 1998...
"Bush's lifelong friend James Bath acted as a representative in Texas for Salem bin Laden.
"Other companies...connected to the bin Ladin Group family business include Gen eral Electric (the most valuabl e US company) and Citigroup (the biggest US bank) as well as Motorola, Quaker, Nortel, Unilever, Cadbury Schweppes, ABN Amro bank..."

Bin Ladin's partner, H C Price Company, is part of the Halliburton Company, which was Vice President Cheney's company. Haliburton supplies support services to the military.
According to www.bicc.de/weapons/news/2000/dec00.html www.public-i-org/story_01_080200.htm
"Haliburton and Cheney have been implicated in illegal arms sales to Angola via Russia.

So, what are the links? Bush, bin Laden, Oil, Arms, Drugs.....?
Spy expert Jared Israel suggests that the original August 1998 attempt to bomb bin Laden may have been meant to build respect for bin Laden among anti-American Moslems. Bin Laden is meant to be a bogey-man whom the US can link to any government it wants to bomb.
Some internet sources have suggested that Al Jazeera satellite TV, which is NOT popular with Arafat or Mubarak, is controlled by Mossad and the CIA.
Arafat's first spy chief was secretly working for the CIA. The 'blind sheik' accused of an earlier bombing of the the WTC 'was at one time a CIA asset'. And who let Sheik Yassin out of jail? It was Netanyahu.
Sheikh Yussef Al-Qaradhawi, leader of Egypt's Moslem Brotherhood stated that it is FORBIDDEN to attack American citizens. He condemned the attacks on America because they were against innocent civilians.
But what of bin Laden and his reputed deputy Rabie al-Zawahiri. They, or their doubles, have allegedly praised God for the attacks. But, here is a question: why was Zawahiri granted green card status by the US immigration service if he is really anti-American?
The vast majority of intelligent Moslems are highly suspicious of bin Laden. Syed Sohardwardy sums up their position when he states that bin Laden's activities actually aid the policies of Mossad and the CIA. Sohardwardy points out that bin Laden's activities mean that 1. the world focus on the new Palestinian Intafada has vanished 2. moderate Islamic parties in Moslem countries will be further oppressed 3. Moslem countries will be directly attacked by the US/NATO...

Las Vegas means lap dancers and Mafia. Las Vegas means the Dunes Hotel, blown up using controlled implosion.
Van Romero, Vice President for Research at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, says the collapse of the TWIN TOWERS on 11/9/01 resembled those of controlled implosions used in planned demoli tions. He says the detonations could have been caused by a small amount of explosive put in more than two points in each of the towers (http://eionews.addr.com/)
Who blew up the DUNES Hotel in Las Vegas? It was a Maryland firm called Controlled Demolition Group.
Who has the contract to clear up the mess after the attack on the World Trade Centre? It's Controlled Demolition Group.
Atta and Ziad, and other 'hijackers', visited Las Vegas at least six times. There they enjoyed the charms of lap dancer Samantha (Time.com and The Chronicle). There was also drink and gambling.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
The FBI have named ZIAD JARRAHI as one of the hijackers. He was allegedly on one of the planes that crashed and had been taking flying lessons.
The BBC's Matt Frei (news.bbc.co.uk) has investigaed ZIAD's background :
"Ziad was living with his girlfriend, which would be completely unacceptable to any devout Moslem, let alone a fundamentalist.
"He had been sent to Catholic school....
"He liked to have a drink, was fun-loving and sociable and he never expressed any anti-American feeling...
"The family produced a video showing Ziad at his cousin's wedding in January, dancing, drinking, clean shaven...
"Ziad was (or is) 26 and planning to marry his Turkish-German girlfriend later in the year..."
If Ziad was a hijacker, he must have been brainwashed?

After Mr Blair's speech to Parliament on 4 Oct 2001, the BBC's David Shukman, on BBC News, said the evidence against bin Laden would not stand up in court. ITN's correspondent said the evidence was purely circumstantial.

"US oil giant Unocal wants a 1500km natural gas pipeline through Afghanistan."
The Central Asian region has extensive oil reserves. KAZAKSTAN WILL BE THE NEW SAUDI ARABIA. There is oil in Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan. An oil and gas pipeline through Afghanistan can transport oil to Japan, Pakistan and China! Profits could be enormous.Are these regions going to be in the hands of extremist Moslems, or Russians, or, Americans?
The Central Asian region produces 3/4 of the worlds heroin. Who is going to control this?
The Taliban has destroyed the opium poppies in Afghanistan. This has upset certain very powerful people in the USA who deal in heroin.
The drugs trade is important to America's elite, in one way or another. "$250-300 billion a year of cash from the illegal drugs industry goes into Wall Street shares, helping to prop up Wall street" (Le Monde)
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Was the attack planned in advance, by certain people within the US government?
The BBC's George Arney has an interesting story (www.bbc.co.uk 18/9/01 South Asia)-
In JULY 2001, a former Pakistani Foreign Secretary Niaz Naik was told by senior US officials that the US would take military action against Afghanistan before the snows arrive in October. "Washington would launch its operation from bases in Tajikistan where AMERICAN ADVISERS WERE ALREADY IN PLACE."

PART 7 WHO KNEW IN ADVANCE?

A US navy serviceman on an aircraft carrier called his family in the USA well PRIOR to the ATTACK on AMERICA and alerted them that "something big" was about to happen in a major urban area", according to info on www.rumormillnews.net

You can (or could) listen to "the call" by accessing the info at rumormill.

In the days leading up to the attack on America, unknown investors made unusually large bets in the financial markets against the stocks of UNITED AIRLINES and AMERICAN AIRLINES. The trading ratio in UAL (United Airlines) was 25 times its normal level.
Investors this year have on average bought fewer than 200 putcontracts per day on UAL stock. On Sept 6th investors bought 3,150 contracts, followed by 2,194 purchases the next day.
The US government is now 'investigating' world-wide trading in the shares of 38 companies! These include defense contractor Lockheed Martin and Vornado Realty Trust, a New-Jersey based firm that LOST its bid to lease the World Trade Centre complex.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Former National Democratic Party Chairman Joe Andrew had been booked on the American Airlines flight that crashed into the Pentagon. He switched to an afternoon flight when a meeting was canceled.
Barbara Olsen, wife of a high-up US government official was supposedly killed on one of the hijacked flights! AH! But she had just written a book revealing the 'crooked deals with terrorists' done by former President Clinton!
The Jordanian al-Watan newspaper reported that "many Israelis were absent on the day of the attack as a result of a warning from Shabak, the Israeli general Security Apparatus."
Goldman Sachs is reported to have "warned its CEO as early as September 10." (indymedia.org).
Ariel Sharon was to have taken part in a Zionist festival in America. Israeli newspaper Yadiot Ahranot "revealed that Shabak prevented Sharon from travelling to New York."
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
The 3 planes that crashed carried 45, 65 and 92 passengers.
The aircraft were 767's and 757's which carry about 250 passengers each.
The World Trade Center tower usually has over 20,000 or more workers plus thousands of visitors. Yet less than 7,000 were in each tower. (At the time of the first attack not everyone had necessarily arrived for work.)
The area of the Pentagon that was hit was mostly under renovation or unused.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Reuters 17/9/01 : Numbers of Israelis who worked in the Twin Towers and who were killed on 9 11 : NONE..
TWO HOURS BEFORE THE ATTACK ON THE TWIN TOWERS, two employees of instant-messaging firm Odigo received text messages warning them of the attack.
(www.newsbytes.com/news/01/170583.html)
Alex Diamandis, vice president of sales and marketing, confirmed that workers in Odigo's research and development and international sales office in ISRAEL received a warning from another Odigo user approximately two hours prior to the attack.

Attack on Afghanistan:
The Sunday Times reported, just after 9 11: "by chance, ample naval and air support is already in place...." By chance? It took months to get ships into position for the Gulf War.

PART 8 FAKE EVIDENCE
###########################################################
The Black Boxes! And the Passport and the Mohammad Atta letter!
All 8 Black Boxes were supposedly destroyed or haven't been recovered or were unreadable. Yet a passport from the plane that crashed into one of the towers and a letter from the plane that came down in Pennsylvania are reported to have survived.
Each plane has two separate black boxes which are designed to be indestructible.
We are expected to believe that the passport left the hijacker's pocket and flew down a few blocks from the WTC grounds.
Robert Fisk, writing in The Independent, 29/9/01, demonstrates that the letter found in Atta's luggage (and the one 'found' in the wreckage in pennsylvania) is probably fake.
The letter states: "In the name of God, of myself and of my family.....In the morning try to pray the morning prayer..."
Fisk correctly points out that no Moslem would include his family in such a prayer. Indeed he would mention the Prophet Mohammed immediately after mentioning God. And, a devout Moslem would never need to be reminded to pray in the morning!
The thinking behind the letter is 'Christian' in style. Fisk points out that the CIA usually use Lebanese Maronite Christians for writing documents of this sort.
Thank goodness for Robert Fisk : one of the very few journalists who is independent and brainy. (Compare that with the folks at BBC TV news!)
Fisk also points out that the ATTA story has a hole in it.
Atta was said to be a drinker, while Ziad had a Turkish girlfriend and enjoyed nightclubs! Moslem terrorists indeed!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Has the FBI been fabricating evidence or are they simply incompetent? The present head of the FBI, ROBERT MUELLER, is the man who put to gether the evidence for the Locherbie bomb trial (evidence that many top legal experts consider unreliable.) He was also 'involved in the cover up' of the BCCI affair, according to critics.
On 18 Sept, ABC Tonight (US TV) interviwed the father of Mohammed Atta (alleged hi-jacker). The father said his son had contacted him a few days after the attack.
Robert Fisk in the Independent (independent.co.uk) reported from Beirut that Abdulrahman al-Omari, named by the US as one of the hijackers of American Airlines flight 11, was alive and well and living in Jeddah.
Accounts vary about some of the others. The person named by the US as the hijack pilot of United Airlines flight 93 is reported to be in Tunis. Another of the hijackers is said to have died two years ago.
The Guardian's excellent George Monbiot writes the following-
"The more evidence US intelligence presents...the less credible the story becomes.
"First there was the car. A man had informed the police, we were told, that he'd had a furious argument with some suspicious looking Moslems in the parking lot at Boston airport. He led the investigators to the car, in which they found a copy of the Koran and a flight manual in Arabic (Flight manuals are 'always' in English), showing that these were the fundamentalists who had hijacked the planes.
"Now flying an aeroplane is not one of these things you learn in the back of a car on the way to the airport. Either you know how to do it or you don't.
"Leaving the Koran unattended, a Moslem friend tells me, is considered sinful.
"And if you were about to perpetrate one of the biggest terrorist outrages the world has ever seen, would you draw attention to yourself by arguing in a car park?"
"Then there is the passport. The security services claim that a passport belonging to one of the hijackers was extracted from the rubble of the World Trade Centre. This definitive identification might help them to track the rest of the network.
"We are being asked to believe that a paper document from the cockpit of the first plane - the epicentre of an inferno which vapourised steel - survived the fireball and fell to the ground almost intact.
"When presented with material like this, I can't help suspecting that intelligence agents have assembled the theory first, then sought the facts required to fit it...
"I think WE MIGHT HAVE SOME CAUSE TO REGARD THE NEW EVIDENCE AGAINST BIN LADEN WITH A MEASURE OF SCEPTICISM."
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
www.stratfor.com is a well respected web site dealing with intelligence matters. It reports as follows:
"In Florida FBI agents were drawn to a flight school.... The relative ease with which the clues have been uncovered and what would appear to be obvious mistakes on the part of the suspects, such as holding on to 'dirty' credit cards, are inconsistent with the near perfect planning and execution before and during the attack....
It is nearly unbelievable that an organisation capable of carrying out such a complex operation would leave behind relatively obvious evidence."
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
PART 9 WHAT SORT OF PERSON IS BUSH?
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
The Skull and Bones Society is a secret society "steeped in satanism." When someone becomes a member they go through a ritual which involves lying in a coffin and drinking blood. Members of Skull and Bones include David Rockefeller, General Brent Skowcroft and George Bush. (Bush does not deny being a member, according to CNN.)
PEOPLE POWER - CIA CONNECTION
Remember the fall of Marcos in the Philippines and the fall of Suharto in Indonesia?
Remember the fall of pro-Soviet regimes in Eastern Europe? Remember the recent changes in Haiti and Georgia?
There is a CIA connection.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Mark Almond, lecturer in modern history at Oriel College, Oxford, wrote in the Guardian, December 7, 2004: http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,1367965,00.html
"As an old cold war swagman, who carried tens of thousands of dollars to Soviet-bloc dissidents alongside much better respected academics, perhaps I can cast some light on what a Romanian friend called "our clandestine period". Too many higher up the food chain of People Power seem reticent about making full disclosure.
"Nowadays, we can google the names of foundations such as America's National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and a myriad surrogates funding Ukraine's Pora movement or "independent" media. But unless you know the NED's James Woolsey was also head of the CIA 10 years ago, are you any wiser?"
People Power is usually about changing regimes to suit the American Military Industrial Complex.
As Almond states, "People Power is, it turns out, more about closing things than creating an open society. It shuts factories but, worse still, minds. Its advocates demand a free market in everything - except opinion."
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
THE FALL OF SUHARTO AND THE CIA
In Indonesia, in the years 1997- 1998, there were riots in various parts of Indonesia. Sometimes these riots were aimed against the Chinese-Indonesians. Some riots looked spontaneous and some looked as if they had been planned. (http://www.insideindonesia.org/edit50/riots.htm)
Intelligence agencies
Back in the 1950s the British and American intelligence agencies had organised rebellions in various parts of Indonesia, in order to undermine President Sukarno.(http://www.westpapuanews.com/articles/publish/article_31.shtml)
The generals
In 1998 one of the key generals was Prabowo, son of Dr. Sumitro Djojohadikusumo, a former Finance Minister, said to have once worked with the British and the Americans against Sukarno. Prabowo had learnt about terrorism at Fort Bragg and Fort Benning in the US. General Prabowo and terror (http://yayasanhak.minihub.org/mot/Prabowo.htm) In May 1998, Prabowo was commander of Kostrad, the strategic reserve, the regiment Suharto commanded when he took power in 1965. Prabowo's friend Muchdi ran Kopassus (special forces) and his friend Sjafrie ran the Jakarta Area Command. General Wiranto, the overall head of the military, was seen as a rival to Prabowo.
The American Defence Secretary, William Cohen, was in Jakarta in January 1998 and he visited both Prabowo and Wiranto. The CIA chief had also been a recent visitor to Jakarta. The CIA and the Pentagon were close to both Prabowo and Wiranto. (http://solidarity.igc.org/atc/emily75.html)
Students
At the start of May 1998, students were holding peaceful demonstrations on university campuses across the country. They were protesting against massive price rises for fuel and energy, and they were demanding that President Suharto should step down.
On May 12th, students at Jakarta's Trisakti University, many of them the children of the elite, planned to march to parliament to present the government with their demands for reform. The police prevented the students from marching. Some time after 5pm, uniformed men on motorcycles appeared on the flyover which overlooks Trisakti. Shots rang out. Four students were killed.
Riots of May 13-14
On the 13th of May there were reports of rioting in the area around Trisakti. President Suharto was attending a conference in Egypt and the military top brass went off to Malang in East Java to attend a ceremony.
On the 14th of May, serious rioting took place in the Jakarta area. There were no signs of any uniformed soldiers on the streets.
Deaths
Over 1,000 people died during these Jakarta riots, most having been burnt in malls and supermarkets but some having been shot or beaten.
Alleged involvement of the military in planning the riots
Father Sandyawan Sumardi, a 40-year-old Jesuit priest and son of a police chief, led an independent investigation into the events of May 1998. As a member of the Team of Volunteers for Humanitarian Causes he interviewed people who had witnessed the alleged involvement of the military in organising the riots and rapes.
(http://www.indonesia-house.org/archive/mei98/The%20Riot%20Pattern%20in%20Jakarta%20and%20Surroundings%20-%20Beberapa%20Pola%20dalam%20Kerusuhan%20Massa.htm) (http://www.asiaweek.com/asiaweek/98/0626/nat_6_indoriots.html)
A security officer alleged that Kopassus (special forces) officers had ordered the burning down of a bank; a taxi driver reported hearing a man in a military helicopter encouraging people on the ground to carry out looting; shop-owners at a Plaza claimed that, before the riots, military officers tried to extract protection money; a teenager claimed he and thousands of others had been trained as protesters; a street child alleged that Kopassus officers ordered him and and his friends to become rioters; there was a report of soldiers being dressed up as students and then taking part in rioting; eyewitnesses spoke of muscular men with short haircuts arriving in military-style trucks and directing attacks on Chinese homes and businesses.
There were reports of children being encouraged to enter malls and then of the malls being set on fire; there were allegations that muscular men with short haircuts had gang-raped little Chinese girls and then murdered some of them.
Suharto told he had lost the support of the military
Some of Suharto's former allies deserted him. Wiranto allowed students to occupy Parliament. Reportedly Wiranto reported to Suharto on May 20th that Suharto no longer had the support of the army. Suharto was forced to resign on May 21 and was replaced by Habibie, his Vice President.
The continuing importance of the military
Wiranto remained as chief of the armed forces. Wiranto's troops began removing the students from the parliament building.
One result of the May riots was that the military appeared to remain the power behind the throne. In 2004, General Yudhoyono became president.
BELGIUM - DUTROUX - Was Dutroux working for the security services?
PART ONE - DURBUY IN THE ARDENNES
This is the Southern, French speaking, Roman Catholic part of Belgium. What they call Wallonia. For the tourist, the attractions are many: The rounded hills of the Ardennes, forests, rivers, art, carnivals, and fine food.
"Here we are getting a bad name in Belgium," says Didier, the middle-aged, balding barman at our hotel.
"Marc Dutroux?" says Myrianne.
"Many people felt the truth did not come out at his trial," says Didier. "He knows too much about the top people."
"There's always rumours," I say.
"I'll tell you," says Didier, fingering the crucifix suspended from his neck, "there are girls coming in here from Africa. To brothels in a city near here. Very young girls. Probably with AIDS."
"The world's a wicked place, " I comment.
"No, wait," says Myrianne, "the International Organisation for Migration has said Belgium is the top place for sex slavery. Young girls from Rwanda, the Congo, and so on."
"Not for tourists like you," says Didier.
"Thank you," I say. "No, these brothels are very expensive and very exclusive. Only for very top people who will keep quiet."
"It's true," says Myrianne. "Look the Observer said the same thing. It talked about 'the squalid road that leads to Belgium'."
############################################
PART TWO - LIEGE.
We reach Liege by train. Liege, in Wallonia, is a city associated with a river, industry, churches and ....MAIGRET's author Georges Simenon. Simenon! What a man. An expert on the seedy side of life. Did he really have sex with 20,000 women? Was he really homosexual?
Liege is a place to wander, along the river, through the Aquarium at Quai Van Beneden, into museums and churches, and along the lively streets of the working class area called Outremeuse. The market , La BATTE market, at Quai de la Batte, on Sundays, stretches alongside the river and attracts thousands of people. Worth a visit. Liege has wonderful food. For example- salade liegeoise which is potatoes, smoked bacon, onions, French beans, and parsley. Yummy.
"OK," says Myrianne, in the cafe called Vaudree II, "A quiz about famous Belgians."
"Tintin," I say, putting down my beer glass. "He was Belgian. Ask me about Tintin."
"No, Michel Nihoul."
"He plays for Anderlecht?"
"No. He was the guy who allegedly organised orgies in a Belgian chateau. Orgies allegedly attended by a former European commissioner, judges, senior politicians, lawyers and policemen."
"And?"
"He was one of the accomplices of you-know-who."
"Marc Dutroux."
"The subject of the book called 'The X-files: What Belgium Was Not Supposed to Know About the Dutroux Affair.' Now, next question. Who is Regina Louf?"
"Famous cyclist."
"No. Regina Louf testified to the authorities about orgies at which she allegedly saw children tortured and murdered. The allegation in the X-files is that, at Black masses, attended by members of Belgium's elite, children were sacrificed."
"Is she taken seriously?"
"Not apparently by certain top people. But, quite recently, at the village of Forchies-la-Marche, the police investigated an institute of Black Magic. They dug up human skulls. And the International Herald Tribune did a famous piece about all this. They quoted Guy Poncelet as saying the X-files book was convincing."
"So, the next question is : who is Guy Poncelet?
"Answer: I don't know."
"He's a judge. His son, a police officer, was mysteriously shot dead. This son had been investigating a case involving Dutroux. And the next question: who is Judge Connerotte?"
"I need another beer. You know they have about one thousand different beers in this cafe!"
"Judge Connerotte was the judge who caught Dutroux."
"The authorities must have been pleased."
"The authorities removed Connerotte from the case. Now, another question: who is Mr De Baets?"
"This is a case for Maigret."
"De Baets was the official in charge of investigating the X-files. The authorities removed him from the case."
"What's all this got to do with Liege?"
"Who is Andre Cools?"
"Belgian rock singer?"
"In 1991, Belgium's former deputy prime minister, Andre Cools, announced that he was about to make some revelations about the mafia and their links to some of the most important people in Liege."
"SO?"
"Cools was shot dead. Before he could speak out."
"How's your beer?"
"Fine. Who is Alain Van der Biest?"
"Belgian artist?"
"After Dutroux's arrest in 1996, arrests were made in the Cool's case."
"So, who got arrested?"
"One of those arrested was Alain Van der Biest, a Socialist Minister, alleged to have close links with the mafia gangs of Liege."
"How's your beer?"
"Who is Guy Mathot?"
"That's a difficult one."
"Belgian TV came up with an anonymous witness who claimed that leading Socialist politician, Guy Mathot, had ordered Cools to be killed."
"What sort of guy is Mathot?"
"In 1994 Mathot was charged with corruption over kickbacks paid to Belgium's Socialist parties. Now, here's a famous Belgian you will have heard of. Who is Willy Claes?"
"Famous Belgian chef?"
"Claes was NATO Secretary General and a Belgian. He was caught up in the Mathot kickbacks thing and was forced to resign. Who is Melchior Wathelet?"
"Tell me."
"It was top judge Wathelet who released Dutroux from prison in 1991. Wathelet was Belgium's judge at the European Court of Justice. Wathelet was Belgium's Justice Minister at the time when Cools was shot dead. Cools' son called for Wathelet and other top judges to be removed from office. In 1996 there were suggestions that the gangs involved in the Cools' killing had been involved with Dutroux."
############################################
PART THREE
1,300 children disappeared in the Brussels region between 1991 and 1996. According to government official Mr De Baets, what happened after several of these disappearances was that Marc Dutroux paid large sums of money into various bank accounts.

Prince George, MI6 and the Nazis
http://www.eyespymag.com/intv.html
Prince George, Duke of Kent, who died in mysterious circumstances in 1942, was a top freemason and allegedly was involved in a plot with Rudolf Hess and MI6.
In 1941 there was a large 'peace party' in Britain which allegedly included much of the aristocracy, many MPs, many members of the security services and members of the Royal Family. The 'peace party' wanted to do a deal with Hitler. Some members of the 'peace party' admired the Nazis; some did not. Prince George, Duke of Kent, was reportedly a member of the group that wanted peace.
Lynn Picknett writes: "in 1942 the Duke of Kent was acting as political advisor for George VI... It wasn’t so much that he was pro-Nazi or sucking up to Hitler; he was simply pro-peace.
' Double Standards: The Rudolf Hess Cover-up' by Lynn Picknett, Clive Prince & Stephen Prior argues that:
1. Hess flew to Scotland in 1941 with Hitler's blessing.
2. Hess was to meet with a faction of British royalty who wanted to arrange peace between Britain and Nazi Germany.
3. Churchill and his faction got to Hess first when his plane landed and locked him up, even though Hess had been guaranteed safe passage by King George VI.
4. It is possible that the Duke of Kent rescued Hess and tried to fly to Sweden to continue secret peace negotiations.
5. The Duke's plane crashed approximately two miles from where Hess was kept on the shores of Loch More. Hess may have died in the plane crash. The plane crash may not have been accidental.
To many members of the 'peace party', the real enemy was the Soviet Union. They wanted Hitler to wage war on Stalin.
Clive Prince writes: 'Churchill was in a very, very insecure position politically in May 1941. In fact, three days before Hess arrived, there had been a vote of no-confidence in Churchill. He didn’t have the support of the aristocracy or the support of MI6 and the King. But the Hess affair basically gave Churchill the opportunity to blackmail his opponents who were involved with the Hess flight into supporting him...
"He also used the Hess flight to ensure that Hitler went ahead with his attack on Russia six weeks after Hess arrived...."
"We’re certain that MI6 was totally involved in the Hess affair - they weren’t luring him over: they were inviting him over. This was because MI6 were supportive of the idea of ending the War with Germany. MI6 saw the real enemy as being Russia. Sir Stuart Menzies - the head of MI6 - advised Churchill to stay out of things and let the Nazis and the Russians get on with it.."

3. Churchill and his faction got to Hess first when his plane landed and locked him up, even though Hess had been guaranteed safe passage by King George VI.
4. It is possible that the Duke of Kent rescued Hess and tried to fly to Sweden to continue secret peace negotiations.
5. The Duke's plane crashed approximately two miles from where Hess was kept on the shores of Loch More. Hess may have died in the plane crash. The plane crash may not have been accidental.
To many members of the 'peace party', the real enemy was the Soviet Union. They wanted Hitler to wage war on Stalin.
Clive Prince writes: 'Churchill was in a very, very insecure position politically in May 1941. In fact, three days before Hess arrived, there had been a vote of no-confidence in Churchill. He didn’t have the support of the aristocracy or the support of MI6 and the King. But the Hess affair basically gave Churchill the opportunity to blackmail his opponents who were involved with the Hess flight into supporting him...
"He also used the Hess flight to ensure that Hitler went ahead with his attack on Russia six weeks after Hess arrived...."
"We’re certain that MI6 was totally involved in the Hess affair - they weren’t luring him over: they were inviting him over. This was because MI6 were supportive of the idea of ending the War with Germany. MI6 saw the real enemy as being Russia. Sir Stuart Menzies - the head of MI6 - advised Churchill to stay out of things and let the Nazis and the Russians get on with it.."
US military expansion in the Middle East - A US air base to be built in Lebanon?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,1434183,00.html
Seumas Milne wrote in the Guardian, 10 March 2005, about the Middle East.
In Beirut up to a million demonstrators demonstrated in favour of Syria and against the USA.
One leader of the anti-Syrian protests is Pierre Gemayel whose militiamen massacred 2,000 Palestinian refugees in Sabra and Shatila in 1982.
If there was a democratic election, Gemayel and his friends would be defeated by a Hizbullah-led government. Hizbullah drove Israel out of Lebanon in 2000.
Democratic elections in Syria, or Egypt or Saudi Arabia could lead to the election of strongly anti-western governments.
Milne, in the Guardian, points out that it is not democracy, but the US military, that is on the march.
1. Millions of Iraqis were unable or unwilling to vote.
2. Key political forces were excluded.
3. Candidates' names were secret.
4. Alleged fraud widespread.
5. The system was designed to maintain US control.
The Americans now have a military presence in:
1. Saudi Arabia,
2. Iraq,
3. the UAE,
4. Kuwait,
5. Bahrain,
6. Oman and Qatar
"In not one of those countries did an elected government invite them in....The dictators remain in place by US licence."

Wayne Madsen, of Online Journal, writes that, according to high-level Lebanese intelligence sources, the killing of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri was reportedly authorized by the USA and Israel.
Hariri reportedly opposed the construction of a major U.S. air base in the north of Lebanon.
"The United States wants Syrian troops completely out of Lebanon before construction of the base is initiated."
Lebanese intelligence sources claim that the contract for the northern Lebanese air base has been given to Jacobs Engineering Group of Pasadena, California; Bechtel will also be involved.
The Lebanese air base is reportedly to be used
1. as a transit and logistics hub for U.S. forces in Iraq
2. as a rest and relaxation location for U.S. troops in the region.
3. to protect U.S. oil pipelines in the region (Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan and Mosul/Kirkuk-Ceyhan)
4. to destabilize the Assad government in Syria.

Sexpionage - Part 2
Christine Keeler, in her book 'The Truth At Last', claims that:
1. Ward and MI5 chief Roger Hollis were spies for the Russians.
2. She met Roger Hollis and Anthony Blunt in Ward's flat.
3. Ward was probably murdered.
4. She may have been set up from the start.
5. Ward asked her to find out from Profumo when Germany would get nuclear weapons.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Who gained from the Profumo Affair?
Harold Wilson became Prime Minister.
Anatoli Golitsin, a spy who defected from the KGB, claimed that Hugh Gaitskell was murdered in 1963 so that Harold Wilson, a 'KGB agent', could become leader of the Labour Party.
Was Wilson working for Russia or Israel?
Harold Wilson was President of the Board of Trade from 1947-51. The few people who could get permission from the Board of Trade to import heavily rationed raw materials or finished goods were in a good position to become vastly rich.
Among the lucky few who got licenses were Montague Meyer, Joe Kagan and Rudy Sternberg. Kagan and Sternberg later became peers. Meyer gave Wilson a consultancy which took him on frequent trips to Moscow and Eastern Europe.
After the 'mysterious' death of Hugh Gaitskell, Wilson became Labour leader and eventually Prime Minister.
Harold Wilson's 'private office' was funded in secret by a wealthy group which included Lord Goodman, Sir Samuel Fisher, and Rudy Sternberg.
In the 1970's, Private Eye began to receive information of a possible link between Wilson and the Israeli secret service and the KGB. In connection with alleged plots, the names of various people were handed to Private Eye.
Labour MP Ian Mikardo had at one time partnered Leslie Paisner in a business that traded with East Germany. Mikardo's pair in the House of Commons was Barnaby Drayson who worked for Rudy Sternberg, as did Wilfred Owen MP who had resigned after being revealed as a spy for Czechoslovakia. Montague Meyer, it turned out, was the man who had bought up much of the timber felled in Tanganyika during Labour's ill-fated groundnut scheme.
Then there was Labour MP Edward Short 'who had been in the habit of receiving bundles of banknotes from T Dan Smith', the city boss of Newcastle and one time partner of Eric Levine.
Kagan was a frequent visitor to Downing Street. He was also on friendly terms with the station chief of the Russian KGB. After being questioneded by the police about tax and currency offences he eventually 'fled' to Israel, where perhaps his real allegiance lay.
Sir Rudy Sternberg was also under investigation by the security services.
What may have stopped Private Eye from finally getting at the truth was the intervention of the Jewish businessman James Goldsmith, a friend of PM Wilson's personal secretary, Marcia Williams. Marcia was also a friend of Kagan. Private Eye had mistakenly claimed that Goldsmith had been present at a lunch given by John Aspinall, on the day after the disappearance of Lord Lucan. Goldsmith began criminal libel proceedings against Private Eye.
Patrick Marnham, in his brilliant book "Trail of Havoc: In the Steps of Lord Lucan", writes that Goldsmith was "effectively silencing the only newspaper which migh t have made headway with the ....allegations."Goldsmith later became a lord. Sir Joseph Kagan was later imprisoned.
But the possible links between Labour and Israel's secret service may not have ended with Wilson. Private Eye began to take an interest in Robert Maxwell, the chief fund raiser for Labour. Maxwell received a peerage, mysteriously disappeared, and 'his body' was buried with great honour in Israel. It was assumed by many that he was a top Israeli spy.
And what of Tony Blair. Private Eye has pointed out that Blair's chief fund raiser is Lord Levy, a man with strong links to Israel. Blair's chief foreign policy adviser was Sir David Manning........

Indonesia's military - bombing and backing.
http://www.insideindonesia.org/index.htm
Brawling, Bombing, and “Backing”
John Roosa writes in Inside Indonesia about Indonesia's military.
"Imagine the following scenario: three truckloads of men armed with submachine guns and grenade launchers surround a police station late one night. They shoot their way inside and then torch it. In the chaos, sixty-one prisoners escape and over one ton of marijuana being held as evidence disappears. Some of the men then drive to the electricity relay station and force the workers at gunpoint to blackout the city. In total darkness, they head off to attack another police force in the same area. When they withdraw in the morning, after nine hours of unloading their firepower into two police facilities, they have killed seven policemen, three civilians, and suffered one casualty. This is what transpired in the town of Binjai, near Medan, on 29-30 September 2002."
The attackers were members of Indonesia's elite Kostrad regiment.
The soldiers attacked the police in order to release a drug dealer who had been paying the soldiers protection money. The Kostrad soldiers wanted to make it clear that they run the drug trade in Binjai.
Maj. Gen. Agus Wirahadikusumah said in 1999 that the military were ‘backers of prostitution, gambling, and narcotics.’ (The general died rather suddenly after making this statement.)
On 26 December 1999, about 50 soldiers attacked and destroyed a police post in the village of Nipah-Nipah. They shot and killed a police corporal and seriously wounded two other policemen.
On 28 April 2000, 30 soldiers attacked a police station in Karawang.
On 19 June 2000, about 50 marines attacked a police station in the middle of Jakarta (the Mampang headquarters). They stabbed three policemen and wrecked the building.
On 15 September 2001, Kostrad troops attacked a police station in the center of the city of Madiun in East Java. Three civilian bystanders were killed in the shooting.
This is just a sample of the incidents reported in newspapers.
On 4 May 2000, a bomb was found in the Attorney General’s office in Jakarta. The serial number was traced back to the East Java army command. The bomb was reportedly planted by men working for Tommy Suharto who was being questioned by the Attorney General at that time.
The Jakarta Stock Exchange was bombed on 13 September 2000. Ten people were killed and the building was badly damaged. Among those charged with the bombing were two soldiers. Reportedly the explosives used in the blast came from the military. The two soldiers were able to escape from prison.
In Aceh, the independence forces have been able to purchase weapons from the military.
It is 'highly probable' that the army killed three schoolteachers working for Freeport in West Papua on 31 August 2002. The human rights organisation Elsham claimed that the army was responsible. The province’s former police chief, I Made Pastika privately told journalists that the police believe the army carried out the murders. Officials in the U.S. embassy in Jakarta have intercepts of the army’s radio communications. These intercepts suggest that the military murdered the American schoolteachers. According to Hamish McDonald in the Sydney Morning Herald (2 November 2002), the army wanted to pressure Freeport into paying US$10 million as protection money.
In conflict regions such as Aceh and Papua, the army 'devotes much of its time to fighting civilians and policemen to secure its own revenue'.

Indonesia and continuing social tension
http://www.insideindonesia.org/index.htm
Max Lane writes in Inside Indonesia about continuing social tensions after the elections.
Suharto became unpopular because of
(1) discontent among the elite
(2) discontent among the poor.
There had been large protests over the Kedung Ombo dam development in Central Java; there were big strikes at industrial plants like Great Rivers and Gajah Tunggal; there were protests about the land occupations of Cimacan and other areas... The basic problem was poverty and inequality.
Habibie, Wahid, Megawati and SBY have continued the New Order’s neo-liberal economic strategy, something that pleases the IMF and World Bank.
1. Subsidies on prices of basic goods have been reduced
2. Protection for Indonesian based industry and agriculture has been removed
The result:
1. Factory closures
2. Declines in important areas of agricultural production.
3. Strikes over privatisation, redundancy or pay.
4. Protests by farmers about land compensation or other issues.
5. Ocupations of university administration offices to protest against fee increases.
6. Protests by teachers, nurses and village administration employees about insufficient money.
The media is now worrying about further reductions in subsidies on fuel and the inevitable rise in prices.
Employers are pushing for a reduction in the minimum wage.
The new World Trade Organisation regulations, allowing more cheap imports into the country, could lead to more industrial zones closing down.
The elections have not ended the fighting amongst the elite about how power is shared.

Haiti
http://www.counterpunch.org/weisbrot03072005.html
MARK WEISBROT writes in www.counterpunch.org about Haiti.
Aristide, Haiti's president, was overthrown twice 'by thugs supported by the United States'.
1991 : The leaders of the coup 'were on the CIA payroll'. The death squad that killed thousands of Aristide's supporters between 1991 and 1994 was led by Emmanuel Constant, who told the world on CBS' 60 Minutes that the CIA hired him for the job.
2004 : Jeffrey Sachs of Colombia University said, "The United States turned off the tap... They did that deliberately to bring down Aristide."
The Inter-American Development Bank and World Bank cut off funding from 2001-2003.
The USA gave tens of millions of dollars to the opposition, which included former military personnel - including convicted murderers.
In 2004, US forces reportedly forced Aristide to go to the airport where he boarded a plane to the Central African Republic.
What is Haiti like now?
The Center for the Study of Human Rights at the University of Miami Law School conducted an investigation in Haiti in November 2004.
Among the findings: "summary executions are a police tactic,"
the jails are filled with political prisoners,
many prisoners are held without charge, beaten and denied medical help.
Cite Soleil, a slum of 250,000 people, is under lockdown. Young men cannot leave for fear of arrest.
Dead bodies can be seen in the streets.
~~~~~~~~
The pro-Aristide population appears still to be the majority .
The silence among major U.S. human riights groups is deafening and shameful.

TOM REEVES also wrote about Haiti.
Most of Haiti's poorest people continue to demand Aristide's return.
When thousands poured out of Bel Aire slum, the Haitian National Police 'opened fire on singing, chanting men, women and children'; five people were killed.
Father Gerard Jean-Juste works among the poor in Haiti. He was seized by Haitian police, wearing hoods, while feeding poor children in his parish last. He was held in deplorable conditions without a trial.
Witnesses have spoken of spoken of massacres of Aristide supporters in several poor Port au Prince neighborhoods. These are have been documented police raids into Aristide strongholds, accompanied by UN troops, resulting in hundreds of deaths of Aristide activists and bystanders
Rep. Maxine Waters, of the Congressional Black Caucus: "Haiti today is in total chaos. The interim government put in power by the U.S...is a complete failure....Human rights violations are commonplace throughout Haiti....(M)embers of President Aristide's government have been detained illegally, including former Prime Minister Yvon Neptune...As of February 18, there were over 700 political prisoners in Haiti's jails...most...without formal charges."
The United States sent marines to Haiti a year ago to force out of office a government that was democratically elected. The self-styled "rebels" committed massacres and rapes across the country, using weapons traced to U.S. stockpiles in the Dominican Republic.
The US installed the puppet regime of Gerard Latortue.
There have been vast cutbacks in the already impoverished education, health and other human services systems of the public sector.
The puppet regime represents the old landed and military elite and the sweat-shop owners and other business elite.
'A full-scale terror campaign is going on in Haiti - by the government, against the people; by the rich, against the poor; by those trained and funded by the U.S. and guarded by the U.N., and against the mass movement called Lavalas - the cleansing flood - that Aristide promised would someday bring justice for the poor of Haiti'.
