WAS PRESIDENT BUSH COMPLICIT IN 9/11?
By Sherwood Ross
Was President George W. Bush complicit in the 9/11 attacks? That’s a question that will not go away on this 10th anniversary of those terrible events.
If many people continue to wonder about it, perhaps it’s because the Bush regime did not call for a prompt investigation into 9/11 and subsequently obstructed its work. There is a fresh report that some information turned up by the FBI in Florida was held back on direct orders from Mr. Bush.
To begin with, as Philip Shenon reported in The New York Times of July 9, 2003, “The federal commission investigating the Sept. 11 terror attacks said today that its work was being hampered by the failure of the executive branch agencies, especially the Pentagon and the Justice Department, to respond quickly to requests for documents and testimony.”
He wrote the panel’s chair and vice-chair released a statement “declaring that they had received only a small part of the millions of sensitive government documents they had requested from the executive branch.”
What’s more, Shenon pointed out, the Administration would not allow its officials to be interviewed “without the presence of government colleagues” so that the panel’s chairman suggested the situation amounted to “intimidation” of the witnesses. Why?
There’s ample evidence President Bush didn’t want a panel convened in the first place. As David Firestone reported in the Times of Nov. 15, 2002, the White House only yielded “to intense pressure from families of Sept. 11 victims” to create the panel. Firestone wrote that Senator John McCain, the Arizona Republican, “had fought zealously for the commission for months, leveling bitter criticism at the White House for stalling it...”
Of course, Bush’s opposition to the panel is zero proof that he was involved in the 9/11 attacks in any way. He may have only wished to cover up the incompetence of his government’s response to them. Writing in The Times on Feb. 4, 2008, Evan Thomas pointed out, “The official ineptitude uncovered by the commission is shocking.”
Questions about Bush’s appointments to the 9/11 panel are more than troubling. Bush initially named former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger chairman of the 9/11 probe---a man whose consulting firm it turned out had done work for the bin Laden family! What a coincidence, right?
When Kissinger hurriedly resigned, Bush named former New Jersey Gov. Thomas Kean in his place. Michel Chossudovsky of Global Research pointed out that Kean “sits on the board of directors of a company which has business dealings with financier Khalid bin Mahfouz.” Kean, it turns out, was a director of Amerada Hess Corp., involved in a joint venture with Delta Oil of Saudi Arabia, an outfit owned in part by Mahfouz---a man whose sister is married to Osama bin Laden! Another coincidence, of course.
Chossudovsky writes, “Carefully documented by (Washington reporter) Wayne Madsen, George W. Bush also had dealings with Osama’s brother-in-law (bin Mahfouz,) when he was in the Texas oil business” and both Bush and bin-Mahfouz were implicated in the Bank of Commerce International scandal.”
Americans are right to be skeptical of Bush’s motives when the two chairmen he names to the 9/11 panel are linked to the bin Laden family. They are also right to be skeptical of the 9/11 Commission Report. As David Ray Griffin noted in his “Debunking 9/11 Debunking”(Olive Branch Press), a Zogby poll taken in May, 2006, indicated that 42% of the American people believed that “the U.S. government and its 9/11 Commission concealed...critical evidence that contradicts their official explanation of the September 11th attacks.” And a Scripps/Ohio University poll in August, 2006, showed 36% of the public believes “federal officials either participated in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon or took no action to stop them “because they wanted the United States to go to war in the Middle East.”
A new report in the Miami Herald of September 8, states that “The final 28-page of the (official) Inquiry’s report, which deals with “sources of foreign support for some of the Sept. 11 hijackers,” was entirely blanked out. It was kept secret from the public on the orders of former President George W. Bush and is still withheld to this day, (former U.S. Senator Bob) Graham (D-Fla.)said. This new information was provided by Anthony Summers, co-author of “The Eleventh Day: The Full Story of 9/11 & Osama bin Laden” and Don Christensen, editor of the online “Broward Bulldog.”
Kept from the public until now is information that a Saudi family who abruptly vacated their Sarasota, Fla., home two weeks before 9/11, “were visited by vehicles used by the hijackers” and who were in telephone communication with those “who carried out the death flights---including leader Mohamed Atta.” The information was unearthed by the FBI. Graham stated further that FBI information unearthed in California linking Saudis to 9/11 was never turned over to the 9/11 Commission , either, until Congressional investigators found it on their own.
If President Bush was honored for his probity and integrity, one might argue there is no reason today to inquire into suspicions that he was complicit in the 9/11 attacks or concealed vital information about them. Yet, as subsequent events revealed, the man lied the nation into destructive wars that killed more than a million people. It should be noted that he confided in a friendly journalist before entering the White House that he planned as president to make war on Iraq’s Saddam Hussein---and later used 9/11 as the excuse to launch it.
Was George W. Bush complicit in the 9/11 attacks? That’s a question that deserves further investigation.

Kirwan - LIFE Is A Moving Target
By Jim Kirwan
Rense
Americans are not used to living 'in the Moment' or in coming anywhere near the edges of oblivion that surround us now. Real Life is an agile and moving target that demands awareness and concentration from those that want to continue to live and prosper, despite the criminality that has become pervasive in this atmosphere of complete and total denial.
Real life is about far more than schedules and making money. The relationship between our thoughts and our actions have consequences; but we care not, because far too many of us have subscribed in advance to the price of being involved in getting their own part of the global-profits that are coming from the death and destruction of the planet for personal and private gain. Americans are NOT asleep; they KNOW what's going on and for the most part always have. They are choosing to stay on the sidelines because they still believe that they might one day profit from our criminal-policies and global-crimes.
Back in the 1980's some "games" came out that purport to be able to teach people how to deceive others and basically how to begin to steal the world for fun and profit: These games came from the Illuminati, and were sold openly to the public that thought they had discovered an inside track to real success, even though it might be dipped in blood. But since it would not be their blood that hardly mattered, hence when Bush made his move in 2000, that audience quietly cheered and began to look for ways to share in what was about to be. Here are three links related to this particularly underhanded commercial-scheme that seems to have worked amazingly well. The first link shows you their targets that were included in the 911 attacks. (1)
Today, this is where we are at the moment: "For most Americans, modern war has largely been an abstraction - something that happens only in far-away lands. The victims of U.S. air attack and bombardment in Pakistan, Vietnam, Lebanon, Iraq and other distant countries have seemed somehow unreal. Few ordinary Americans pay attention because U.S. military actions normally have little impact on their day-to-day lives. ... One positive consequence of the shock of Nine Eleven has been to encourage many more Americans to question official claims and re-think entrenched assumptions about their government's arrogant "policeman" role in the world. Many more Americans have come to understand how political leaders of both parties have subordinated American interests and basic justice and humanity, to Jewish-Zionist interests. ... The calamity of September 11 was a consequence, above all, of the Jewish-Zionist grip on American political life and the U.S. media. Enduring security will therefore remain elusive as long as U.S. policy, especially in the Middle East, is set by a small but very influential minority with its own agenda and strong ethno-religious ties to a key protagonist in the region." -- Mark Webber
Beyond this still distant awareness there are some very interesting aspects of the situation that we find ourselves in. This has now altered the realities under which "our military" commits itself to war. We fought fascism and the Nazi's in WWII to supposedly free the world from this contagion. However after the bullets ceased to fly in Europe the USA and Europe took the cream of the Nazi War Machine into the heart of America and Europe to continue what the Nazi's started during that war; and of course this was all done with great SECRECY.
By the time that we became involved in the 1967 War between Israel & the Arab world, that SECRET poisoned relationship revealed itself when LBJ ordered the U.S. Sixth Fleet to abandon its rescue mission of the USS Liberty, because as he said; "I want that ship (the USS Liberty) on the bottom of the sea!" and the US navy complied by recalling the fighters! Yesterday the Navy was asked if it would assist a lone American ship that is at the spot now where the USS Liberty was attacked. The ship is there to commemorate the attack on the Liberty. Here was "our" Navy's response:
""The Sixth Fleet cannot guarantee the security of S/V Liberty. Sixth Fleet recommends that if S/V Liberty is concerned about its safety and security that it should return to its point of origin." This is the sick and cowardly statement a spokesperson for the U.S. Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean gave to an American citizen and sailor, Larry Toenjes, who sailed 8,000 miles to pay respect to the two U.S. Marines and 32 U.S. sailors who were murdered by the terrorist Jewish state of Israel during their cowardly and repeated attacks on the U.S.S. Liberty on June 8, 1967!"(2)
I think the US Navy has joined with the American Luftwaffe, that used to be the U.S. Air Force; but given that our air forces don't engage other air forces now, but instead they just carpet-bomb and strafe civilians, for NATO among others, while murdering civilians in five wars by the hundreds.
So why do we bother with American flags or American unit designations I mean that since we have spent the entire treasury on weapons and armaments since 911; the least we can do is tear off all the American unit designation patches, for all branches of the American forces, and just furnish all our military forces with Israeli Defense Force patches, so that everyone knows who we are really fighting for!
And as for today's continuing outrage that is being orchestrated by the same people who did 911: What has been completely overlooked for the past TEN YEARS is the fact that the real failures of the same people that are now screaming that there will be another terrorist attack on 911 of this year completely ignores the only real facts that the world continues to be beaten to death with. The only OUTRIGHT FAILURES to PROTECT this nation from everything that happened on 911 came directly from the same people that are now demanding that this nation surrender all our rights to them, along with our Constitution and our way of life: This OUTRAGE has led to the almost complete destruction of the USA, along with their institution and promulgation of the POLICE-STATE mentality of USI, which is now running this crisis-driven state of total FEAR right into the ground.
The amounts of money spent to "protect us" against some car bombs tomorrow is ludicrous: given that these same people who caused 911 to succeed were promoted after 911 instead of being fired and charged with treason for allowing these attacks to proceed uninterrupted for an hour and forty-five minutes on 911. Now they want our total and undivided loyalty to kick-in to defend them from those of us that want them tried for TREASON!
Consequently the real terrorists in the US, Israel and England who collaborated in creating the "new Pearl Harbor" that 911 so conveniently provided them with; are continuing to soar as they loot, rape, pillage and plunder their way to victory over this nation and by extension are shoving us all into our new place at the bottom of the ladder in their New World Order. The place they have designed for us is to be the world's first 4th world nation: Because we are now slaves to everyone and everything else in the universe, and all because we continue to buy-in to the massive-lies which are now being formally crowned with whatever happens tomorrow - even if there is "no attack"!
With those games in footnote one, below, they got a head-start on treachery and treason back in the 1980's but even so it did not take them long to turn everything here on its head, so that the literal death of the USA has not even been noticed, while the USI moves in to finish us off.
Then there is this report from RT Television: Charley's comments in this report from RT are illuminating; however the point AGAIN being made, behind this made-for-TV farce is to keep the public focused on the war between the "completely irrelevant-sides" while actually ignoring the FACT that congress is now dead and has been replaced by THE SUPER COMMITEE of THIRTEEN. The so-calledpresident is the ultimate DECIDER, and the thirteenth man in everything that will now be run through the TREASON, created by the very existence of the SUPER-COMMITTEE that was created to end representative government in the USA and then will turn over all the real power to USI.(3)
Say hello to the new symbol for the left-hand side of the USI dollar bill.
