Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 The Deadly Terrorist Numbers Games On September 11th, 2001 4 Flights were hijacked. American Airlines Flight 11 which left Boston's Logan Airport bound for Los Angeles before being piloted into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. American Airlines Flight 77 which left Washington's Dulles International Airport bound for Los Angeles before being flown into the Pentagon. United Airlines Flight 93 which left Newark, N.J., bound for San Francisco before crashing in Stony Creek Township, Pa United Airlines Flight 175 which left Boston's Logan Airport bound for Los Angeles before being piloted into the South Tower of the World Trade Center. Why did the mastermind behind the attacks on America of September 11th, 2001 choose these particular flight numbers? MY THEORY ABOUT THE CHOICE OF FLIGHT 93 WAS THAT 1993 WAS THE YEAR IN WHICH SADDAM FIRST TRIED TO ASSASSINATE FORMER PRESIDENT BUSH IN KUWAIT, IT WAS ALSO THE YEAR IN WHICH SADDAM HUSSEIN FIRST TRIED TO DESTROY THE WORLD TRADE CENTER. IT TURNED OUT TO BE AN UNLUCKY NUMBER FOR SADDAM HUSSEIN BECAUSE THE PASSENGERS ON FLIGHT 93 BECAME HEROES AND STOPPED THE PLANE FROM GOING INTO THE WHITE HOUSE. " White House Was Flight 93 Target http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/05/20/attack/main509535.shtml May 23, 2002 Volunteers in Shanksville this past weekend. (Photo: AP) The San Francisco-bound jet had turned toward Washington and U.S. fighter jets were flying to intercept it when it crashed. All 44 people aboard were killed. (CBS) A high-ranking al Qaeda detainee told investigators the intended target of United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed into a Pennsylvania field on Sept. 11, was the White House. Government sources said Abu Zubaydah, now in U.S. custody, is believed to be the source of the information. He is being interrogated by U.S. officials at an undisclosed location. Investigators have linked Zubaydah directly to hijackers on board Flight 93. United Flight 93 took off from Newark, N.J., and crashed in Somerset County, Pa.. A recorder on the plane and calls made to people on the ground indicate passengers fought for control with the hijackers before it went down. The San Francisco-bound jet had turned toward Washington and U.S. fighter jets were flying to intercept it when it crashed. All 44 people aboard were killed. Officials previously had assumed the White House was a likely target, but said the Capitol and CIA headquarters in McLean, Va., near Washington were other possibilities. Abu Zubaydah is believed to have played a key role in organizing the Sept. 11 attacks, officials said. As al Qaeda's top operational planner, he ran the Khalden camp in Afghanistan, where U.S. investigators have learned many of the Sept. 11 hijackers trained. This suggests Abu Zubaydah may have had direct contact with the hijackers and chosen them for training. He also had telephone contacts with at least one Arab student at U.S. flight schools, according to a July 10, 2001, memo from a Phoenix FBI agent. The CIA, FBI and Pakistani authorities captured and wounded Abu Zubaydah in a raid by in Faisalabad, Pakistan, in March. He is believed to have masterminded the failed millennium bombing plots in Los Angeles and Jordan, and has been linked to failed plots on the U.S. embassies in Paris and Sarajevo. Abu Zubaydah was also indirectly linked, through a web of associations with other al Qaeda members in Europe, to lead Sept. 11 hijacker Mohammed Atta and his cell in Hamburg, Germany. Three members of the Hamburg cell were suicide hijackers; three others are still at large. Ziad Jarrah, believed to be the pilot-hijacker of Flight 93, was a member of the Hamburg cell. " http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/05/20/attack/main509535.shtml The first attack on the World Trade Center on February 26th, 1993. The February 26th, 1993 attack marked the 11th anniversary to the day of the declaration by the Reagan-Bush Administration of February 26th, 1982 that Iraq was no longer a state sponsor of terrorism and as such was eligible for American loans and grants, which it subsequently got. The February 26th, 1993 attack also marked the 2nd anniversary to the day of the liberation of Kuwait by the U.S. in the first Gulf War. Remarks at the Commemoration of the Tenth Anniversary of the Liberation of Kuwait Secretary Colin L. Powell Kuwait City, Kuwait (US Embassy) February 26, 2001 The World Trade Center was attacked by terrorists associated with Sheik Rahman on February 26th, 1993. It was Sheik Rahman's group that murdered Egyptian President Anwar Sadat on the 8th anniversary to the day of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, October 6th. Sheik Rahman's son was subsequently found with bin Laden's group in Afghanistan when the U.S. liberated Afghanistan. " White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer: we have real and credible information that the airplane that landed at the Pentagon was originally intended to hit the White House.

What Arafat was doing was using the date of July 7th to re-write a perceived wrong he had felt some years earlier on another July 7th. It was on July 7th 1986 that the government of Jordan closed the offices of Yasser Arafat's al-Fatah. Because a bus bombing occurred in London on July 7th, 2005 it struck me that the nation that has endured more bus bombings than any other nation is Israel. There may be a connection between the July 7th, 2005 attacks in London and the terrorists who have targeted Israel with bus bombings for years. Recently terrorists in Iraq murdered Egypt's envoy to Iraq. " Zarqawi group reportedly killed Egyptian ambassador in Iraq Iraq-Egypt, Politics, 7/7/2005 News reports from al-Jazeera and al-Arabia satellite TV stations said that Egypt's top diplomat in Iraq to Iraq, Eyhab al-Sharif, had been executed. Meantime, Al-Qaida organization in Iraq, led by Abu Musab al- Zarqawi, had threatened in a statement on the Internet to execute the chairman of the Egyptian diplomatic mission al-Sharif. The threat to execute Sharif came a short time after al-Qaida organization in Iraq issued pictures for the identity cards of the Egyptian diplomat as an evidence that they are the ones which kidnapped him. The statement said the legitimate court of al-Qaida organization in Mesopotamia decided to " send the ambassador of the state of Egypt to the Mujahideen (indivduals from Egypt and other states that go to Iraq to fight with the insurgents) to execute the death penalty against him. " The statement considered that " the embassies in Baghdad are but monitoring sites to snipe the arriving Mujahideen and preventing them from having access to their brothers in Jihad in the land of Mesopotamia (Iraq) and in Afghanistan. " In an attempt to prove that the Egyptian ambassador is their possession, al-Qaida organization published documents including a driving Sharif's license and a work card for him at the foreign ministry and another one for health insurance. On Tuesday the organization claimed responsibility for kidnapping Sharif. " American Airlines Flight 11 which left Boston's Logan Airport bound for Los Angeles before being piloted into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Saddam Hussein assassinated his first victim when he was 11 years old. Fixated on the number 11 ever since then he easily focused on the World Trade Center as a target because it looked so much like a number 11 that WPIX TV Channel 11 in New York City used the World Trade Center in its logo for years. The World Trade Center also housed an office of the Bank of Kuwait. Saddam used Rahman's group to punish Sadat for failing to defeat Israel in the attack on Israel of October 6th, 1973. Saddam also used Sheik Rahman's group to hit the Speaker of the Egyptian Parliament during the first Gulf War when Egypt sided with America against Iraq. Saddam, acting like a child who is deprived of a toy, who subsequently breaks that toy, set fire to the Kuwaiti oil fields as he was being driven out of Kuwait during the first Gulf War in 1991.

The crisis in the Persian Gulf also offers a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation. Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective-a new world order-can emerge. " White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer: we have real and credible information that the airplane that landed at the Pentagon was originally intended to hit the White House. " " White House Was Flight 93 Target A high-ranking al Qaeda detainee told investigators the intended target of United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed into a Pennsylvania field on Sept. 11, was the White House. Government sources said Abu Zubaydah, now in U.S. custody, believed to be the source of the information. " " The White House is bordered on three sides by buildings that are as tall or taller than itself. (OEOB, Treasury, and Blair House.) Beyond these buildings there are still more buildings, that also are taller than the White House. The only flight path that is relatively unobstructed if making a controlled, straight-in approach, is from the south, over the ellipse. Even the Marine helicopter the president uses comes in from this direction and lands on the South Lawn. The problem with flying a plane the size of a 757 or 767 in from this direction is that there's a 555 ft tall structure in the way called the Washington Monument. The Capitol, although a bigger target, is similarly situated. There are buildings on all sides except for the west side, which faces the Mall. Again, for a controlled, straight-in approach, a pilot first would need to avoid the Washington Monument, and then fly straight down the Mall. There is more room to do this, but again, it would take considerable skill. Moreover, the buildings in Roslyn, just across the river from and to the west of the Mall, would have to be cleared, which means the plane's altitude would probably be too high, or the angle of descent too steep to permit a successful attack by anyone other than a skilled, experienced pilot.

The Cabinet discussed recent events of Palestinian Intifadha and praised Palestinians brave and persistent struggle for liberating their lands. The cabinet reviewed the current international situation, especially the U.S aggression on Afghanistan. The Cabinet brought back a historic stance Iraq had taken in 1979 when it condemned the military Soviet invasion of Afghanistan though Iraq had then deep relations with the Soviet Union and there was a friendship and cooperation agreement between Iraq and the Soviet Union, yet this had not prevented Iraq from taking the national independent stand rejecting Soviet's behavior. History repeats itself once again in 2001 as Iraq takes the same stance and condemns the US aggression on Afghanistan....this confirms Iraq's principled stance rejecting all forms of foreign intervention and aggressions. The Cabinet discussed issues listed on its agenda and made necessary decisions and recommendations. " Saddam loves 11th anniversaries, for instance " Saddam Hussein's speech on the 11th Anniversary of the Great Victory Day In the Name of God, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful Great People, The Valiant of Our Brave Armed Forces, Sons of our Glorious Arab Nation… " " Middle East Correspondent, Robert Fisk: Why was it that the bombing of the two embassies in Tanzania and Kenya occurred on the eighth anniversary to the very day of the first arrival of American troops of the 82nd airborne in Saudi Arabia in 1990? " " The 12th of October 2002 will for the rest of Australian history be counted as a day when evil struck with indiscriminate and indescribable savagery, " " On October 12th, 2000 terrorists in a boat laden with explosives carried out a suicide bombing of the U.S.S. Cole in the harbor at Aden, Yemen. In what President Clinton described as a " despicable and cowardly act, " 17 U.S. sailors were killed, and over 30 others were wounded. " After the liberation of Iraq terrorists struck the Baghdad Hotel on October 12th. If you add 1 to 9 you get 10. If you add 1 to 11 you get 12. Thus the 9/11/2001 attack was presaged by the attack on the U.S.S. Cole on 10/12/2000. The terrorists were engaging in what to them was a private joke regarding their plans for 9/11/2001. " Iraq has the motivation and the means to actively support the Islamist networks of the region*** In the past, there have been intelligence reports of possible cooperation between Iraq and Osama bin Laden. Iraq has already tried to assassinate President Bush Senior in 1993, when he visited Kuwait as a private citizen. In the attack on the USS Cole in Aden (in) October (of 2000), there could have been an Iraqi connection. Iraq has excellent relations with the anti-Western Yemeni Islamists of the Army of Aden-Abyan, whose militants have been arrested by the Yemenite authorities in connection with the attack. Such an attack required long preparations, technical and military skills and good operational intelligence. In addition, the explosive used in the attack was sophisticated, a " shaped charge " like a torpedo or a missile, a device not in use by terrorist organizations, and which may have come from a military stockpile. " 4 DAYS BEFORE SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 Saddam's Stepson in USA " Authorities said Saffi " (Saddam's Stepson), " triggered red flags for four reasons: the family relationship to the Iraqi dictator; training at an American flight school; arrival on the eve of the Independence Day celebrations; and his only documented prior entry into the United States occurred just four days before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Bush on Monday November 22nd, 2004, the 41st anniversary of the JFK assassination, needs some examination. BCCI, the infamous drug-terror-arms bank that allegedly gave former President Jimmy Carter $10 million for the Carter Library,had offices in Peru, where coca leaves are grown, in Colombia, where the coca leaves are processed into cocaine, and in Castro's Cuba, and Baathist Syria and Baathist Iraq.

" According to informants and various sources, we had information indicating that various members of the FARC had been instructed by their leaders to make an attempt against President Bush, " Defense Secretary Jorge Alberto Uribe told reporters. He would not be drawn out on the details of the threat. The White House had no immediate comment. The U.S. Secret Service, which protects the president, said it " does not comment or release information regarding our protective intelligence and protective methods. " " We do not discuss any alleged threats to our protectees, " said Jonathan Cherry, a Secret Service spokesman. There was heavy security in Cartagena when Bush visited the city on Monday(November 22nd, 2004)on his way back from the APEC forum in Chile. Military helicopters packed with armed soldiers flew over Bush's motorcade while naval vessels kept watch offshore. Many shops were shuttered.

Afghanistan is the world's No. 1 producer and distributor of heroin, and illicit drug trafficking is the biggest funding source for By Rachel Ehrenfeld / Special to The Detroit News About the author Rachel Ehrenfeld is director of the New York-based Center for the Study of Corruption and the author of " Evil Money " (HarperBusiness) and " Narco-Terrorism " (Basic Books). Moving the money... In the welter of events following the bombing of the World Trade Center in Feb. 26, 1993, few noticed that the first man arrested, Mohammed Salameh—the poor, unemployed illegal immigrant— offered $5 million for bail. Where could he get this kind of money? The judge refused bail. But was the source of Salameh's offer the same as the one that funded the eight men—arrested shortly afterward—who planned to blow up Manhattan's tunnels and bridges and to assassinate public officials? Were the same money sources behind the final attack on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11? .... For a long time, there has been evidence that terrorist, international drug trafficking and criminal organizations use the same fund-raising methods to enrich themselves. Yet no one seemed to connect the dots. And no one seriously tried to crack down on their financing. Bin Laden's is only one among many hostile international criminal organizations, often state-sponsored, that will do whatever they can to diminish the status of the United States as the only superpower. According to a State Department report, the Taliban, who are at bin Laden's service, has the advantage of controlling the world's largest heroin production and distribution in the world. Since the Taliban took over Afghanistan, the heroin production soared to hundreds of tons each year. In 1999 alone, the world production of heroin was estimated at 500 metric tons; 400 were produced by the Taliban and available to fund bin Laden and his associates worldwide. First warning The writing was on the wall on July 5, 1991, when the Bank of England shut down what was the most important Islamic bank in the world, the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI). This criminal entity was created by the Pakistani Aaga Hassan Abedi " to fight the evil influence of the West " ; to help with the creation of the " Islamic Bomb " ; to finance all Muslim terrorist organizations; and to launder the money that was generated mostly by illicit drug trafficking and other illegal activities, including arms trafficking. When BCCI went belly up, we learned from thousands of documents that Abu Nidal—the notorious Palestinian terrorist organization that now enjoys the hospitality of Iraq's Saddam Hussein, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Hezbollah and bin Laden—had accounts in the bank. By the end of the 1980s, the " special services " provided by BCCI included access to Western humanitarian and international development funds, as well as drug money laundering, secret transfers of cash and bribes. A " Black Network, " a special enforcement unit supported by Abu Nidal and other terrorist organizations, operated from Pakistan. The same Pakistan that harbored bin Laden for many years while its officials told the United States that they didn't know his whereabouts. And the same Pakistan that for decades, even according to the State Department's annual report, had been a major drug trafficking and money laundering center. Western blindness Yet, now more importantly, we also discovered that the American and British governments knew and kept the bank open for a long time. The bank " that would bribe God " was able to get away with its criminal activities for decades due to Abedi's clever portrayal of the Muslim nations as victims of Western—and particularly U.S.— " imperialism. " And when the bank was shuttered, the accusation in the Muslim/Arab and Third World countries was that the U.S. and the United Kingdom governments closed the bank to curtail the growing fiscal power of Muslim countries. Like Abedi, anti-American, anti-Western terrorist and radical Muslim states and organizations, such as the Taliban, Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, the PLO, Iraq and Iran, use Western democratic rhetoric to their advantage. But it is the willful blindness, mainly toward the growing volume of drug money laundering, exercised by Western bankers on the one hand and Western politicians on the other, that makes money laundering possible, despite the many laws and international conventions to control this phenomenon. The BCCI was the first warning to the West. The second warning about the abuse of European and American financial markets by terrorist organizations, as well as their involvement in the illicit arms and drug trade, was made in February 1994 by the British National Criminal Intelligence Service (NCIS). The Organized Crime Unit of the NCIS warned that Middle East terrorist groups and states were targeting the financial centers of London, Frankfurt and other Western countries, and that they favor illegal drug trafficking, money laundering and fraud.... Clinton appeasement Despite its stated policy of not negotiating with terrorists, the Clinton administration went out of its way to appease a few of the 20th century's most notorious terror groups: the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the PLO and the Irish Republican Army. All are heavily involved in the drug trade. On the eve of the 1993 handshake on the White House lawn between Israeli Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat, Britain's National Criminal Intelligence Service estimated the PLO's ill-gotten gains to total between $8 billion to $10 billion, with an annual income of about $1.5 billion to $2 billion from " donations, extortion, payoffs, illegal arms dealing, drug trafficking, money laundering, fraud, etc. " Since then, Washington has only aided and abetted the PLO. Since the start of the Oslo process, Arafat has received at least $3 billion more from the United States and the international community, without any serious demand for accountability, according to a report this year to Congress. Arafat, in well-documented instances, has been systematically skimming off portions of these funds, as he has with monies given to him on behalf of the refugees in the camps. The PLO was in the drug trafficking business almost from the beginning. Operating from Lebanon, under Habash's able leadership and assisted by a PLO-owned shipping company SUMUD, the organization exported hashish, opium, heroin and cocaine, first to Europe and later even to the United States and Australia. In return, it obtained weapons for their war against Israel and the West, and amassed a massive treasure trove. In addition, the PLO and Arafat, who enjoy the financial and strategic support of Hussein and bin Laden, have the distinction of being the organization that promoted " suicide bombers " as a weapon. Yet the Clinton administration subsidized a multitude of radical Palestinian groups, ranging from Arafat's Fatah branch of the PLO and its military wing, the Tanzim, to the socialist-nationalist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), headed by George Habash, all with close ties to bin Laden, Iraq and Iran. ....It was the Clinton White House that, despite evidence to the contrary, removed Syria from its list of the drug trafficking countries, to entice Syria to join the " peace process " in the Middle East. The failure of that process and the compromises the United States has made to maintain an illusion of peaceful prospects had no doubt added to the Muslim radical terrorists' resolve to attack what they see as a naive and vulnerable America. In another example of self-delusion, in 1999, then Secretary of State Madeleine Albright suggested a U.S.-led coalition to negotiate with the FARC and supported Colombia President Pastrana's " land for peace " initiative, despite a report from the General Accounting Office that the FARC is running a major international criminal enterprise that, among other things, supplies hundreds of tons of cocaine and heroin to the U.S. black market. This second Clinton " land for peace " initiative gave half of Colombia to the narco-terrorist FARC, while doing nothing to diminish its violence or appetite to control the rest of the country....

Is it any wonder that Saddam would launch the first of his 2 attacks on the World Trade Center on February 26th, 1993, the 2nd anniversary of the liberation of Kuwait City, and the 11th anniversary of the event described above, and that he would launch his 2nd attack on the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001, the 11th anniversary of the Bush I speech to Congress on Iraq.

Saddam sent his henchman Osama bin Laden to attack America and to assassinate former President Bush, who was at the White House on the morning of September 11th, 2001,just as he had tried to assassinate former President Bush in Kuwait in 1993. That is why Flight 93 was selected to hit the White House on the morning of September 11th, 2001. Fortunately the heroes of Flight 93 stopped that from happening and the plane went down in Pennsylvania. Second Attempt to Assassinate President Bush. We all know that Saddam Hussein attempted to assassinate former President Bush in Kuwait in 1993. Laura Bush, wife of the current President Bush, along with the current President Bush's brothers, his parents, and former Secretary of State Baker were actually in the air enroute to Kuwait when the intelligence came in and their plane was turned back. Then President Clinton later bombed an empty Iraqi intelligence building in retaliation for that attempt in which Saddam's homicide bombers were caught in Kuwait. We believe that the Second Attempt to assassinate former President George Herbert Walker Bush was made by Saddam Hussein using his henchman Osama bin Laden on September 11th, 2001.

It is a black day in the history of America, which is tasting the bitter defeat of its crimes and disregard for peoples' will to lead a free, decent life. The massive explosions in the centers of power in America, notably the Pentagon, is a painful slap in the face of US politicians to stop their illegitimate hegemony and attempts to impose custodianship on peoples. It was no coincidence that the World Trade Center was destroyed in suicidal operations involving two planes that have broken through all US security barriers to carry the operation of the century and to express rejection of the reckless US policy. Panic has spread among US official circles, which evacuated the White House following a series of explosions. They also evacuated the Pentagon, the State Department, and Congress and closed down the airports and government institutions. The collapse of US centers of power is a collapse of the US policy, which deviates from human values and stands by world Zionism at all international forums to continue to slaughter the Palestinian Arab people and implement US plans to dominate the world under the cover of what is called the new [world] order. These are the fruits of the new US order.

" http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0110/10/lkl.00.html Who shot JFK, RFK, MLK Were those assassinations linked? If so why? How? Who was involved? We present some theories. What are the facts? What can you add to this discussion? JFK was a Roman Catholic, so were Diem and Nhu, the dictators who ran South Vietnam But South Vietnam was 90% Buddhist only 10% Roman Catholic and Buddhist monks were setting fire to themselves in the streets of South Vietnam in protest to " win the hears and minds of the Vietnamese people " , there would have to be " some changes in personnel " in South Vietnam. Thus JFK signed on to the most famous cable of the Vietnam War, the so-called " HARRIMAN-HILSMAN MEMO " called such because of its connection to A. Harriman and R. Hilsman. it basically outlined thed need to replace the Roman Catholic regime in South Vietnam. What JFK did not realize is that another " change in personnel " , would be required. Just as the Roman Catholic regime in South Vietnam could not " win the hearts and minds of the Vietnamese people " , so too a Roman Catholic President of the United States could not hope to do so, given the Vietnamese resentment of the French Roman Catholic colonialists, as well as of Diem and Nhu. So JFK had to go too. Lee Harvey Oswald was the nephew of Dutz Murrett or Dutch Morretti, a lieutenant in the Carlos Marcello crime family which ran the underworld in New Orleans. RFK was trying to deport Marcello. New Orleans was part a former French colony, part of the Louisiana purchase from France. Marcello was THE major importer of heroin, refined into heroin in Marseilles, France, and grown as opium in Turkey and IN THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE of South East Asia. He then distributed the stuff to the other MAFIA families in the USA. If America lost in South Vietnam and got kicked out of the GOLDEN TRIANGLE, a major source of his dope would not be so easily available. Saddam Hussein was in charge of the OFFICIAL ASSASSINATION BUREAU in Iraq at the time. It was called the JIHAZ HANEEN. Today Saddam Hussein's lawyer is RAMSEY CLARK. Clark was attorney general of the US under President Johnson. Johnson became President when JFK was assassinated. He promoted Ramsey Clark from his high position in the US Justice Department to Attorney General. As Attorney General Clark's infamous CLARK PANEL ruled that JFK, RFK, and Martin Luther King, Jr. were all killed by lone assassins, no conspiracy in any of those assassinations. So said Ramsey Clark. Ramsey Clark's family " allegedly " had members, including his own father: TOM CLARK, a former Attorney General and Supreme Court Justice, who " allegedly " had deep ties to CARLOS MARCELLO. Among other clients of RAMSEY CLARK: nazi war criminals, Rwandan war criminals, the Achille Lauro hijackers, the so-called " PLO " , Arafat, Sheik Rahman's gang from the first World Trade Center bombing, the Sheik's son was found with bin Laden's terrorists in Afghanistan when the US liberated Afghanistan, Saddam Hussein, etc.etc.etc. In 1973 Arafat took the US Ambassador to the Sudan Cleo Noel and his aide hostage in Khartoum, Sudan. Arafat demanded that the US release SIRHAN SIRHAN to him. When the US failed to do so Arafat ordered the hostages killed. The old saying is DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES. Arafat may well have sent SIRHAN SIRHAN to assassinate RFK on the 1st anniversary of the SIX DAY WAR,in which Israel re-united JERUSALEM and liberated the rest of Judea, and Samaria (the so- called " west bank " ) as well as Gaza and the Golan Heights. SIRHAN SIRHAN'S cousin, also named SIRHAN SIRHAN, was busted by Israel after a terrorist attack on Israel more recently. He was linked to a gang of terrorists called the TANZIM, under Arafat's direct control. According to Chris Matthews' MSNBC special on the JFK assassination RAMSEY CLARK was the first person into the EAST ROOM to see JFK's body when it was brought back from Dallas. Someone had to arrange the route of the JFK motorcade in Dallas. Someone had to bring the motorcade into the line of fire in front of the Texas School Book depository where LEE HARVEY OSWALD was working. If America lost in Vietnam and was kicked out of Vietnam it would no longer be tied down in Vietnam. It would then be able to defend Israel if it were attacked. The arab terrorists did not want to see America defeated in Vietnam. If America were defeated in Vietnam it might come to Israel's rescue when Israel was attacked. To make sure America was not defeated in Vietnam JFK had to be assassinated if the arab terrorists were to keep the US tied down in Vietnam and less able to come to Israel's rescue. In 1968 Gene McCarthy, a liberal Democratic US Senator from Minnesota ran for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Gene McCarthy was endorsed by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. two weeks before Dr. King was assassinated. CARLOS MARCELLO has been linked to the King assassination according to a HISTORY CHANNEL cable television special. Gene McCarthy wanted to end the Vietnam war and bring the American troops home from Vietnam. If America left Vietnam it would be more able to come to Israel's rescue if Israel were attacked. Israel was attacked, by surprise in the October 6th, 1973 YOM KIPPUR WAR. To stop Gene McCarthy from getting the Democratic nomination the Democratic opposition to the Vietnam war had to be split. A live Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. would have been able to tell what was then called " the black community " that he had endorsed Gene McCarthy for President. A dead Dr. King could not do so. Dr. King endorsed Gene two weeks before he was killed. Once Dr. King was killed RFK could enter the Democratic presidential race and claim that he was the candidate of what was then called " the black community " . It was essential to divide the opponents of the Vietnam war in the Democratic party to stop Gene McCarthy from being nominated by the Democrats for President in 1968 if the war were to continue and Israel were to be unable to count on US support in the event of an arab attack. At the time RAMSEY CLARK was a pro-Vietnam war politician. He screamed " Tell it to Hanoi! " at opponents of the Vietnam war. So Dr. King was assassinated. James Earl Ray said that he did not agree with RAMSEY CLARK about the King assassination not being part of any conspiracy. James Earl Ray is dead. Dr. King is dead. RFK had to be assassinated after he had taken California but BEFORE the New York State Democratic primary. RFK was a US Senator representing New York state in 1968. He was a Democrat. If he had lost the New York state Presidential Democratic Primary to Gene McCarthy in 1968 RFK would have to have dropped out of the race and endorsed Gene McCarthy for President. McCarthy was 7 points ahead of Nixon in the Polls. If McCarthy had been nominated he would have won the election and withdrawn US forces from South Vietnam. This would have meant that the US would be more able to defend Israel from the eventual arab PEARL HARBOR style sneak-attack that would actually occur on October 6th, 1973 as the YOM KIPPUR WAR. It was called the YOM KIPPUR WAR because it was launched on YOM KIPPUR, the most sacred day in the Jewish religion which occurred on October 6th, 1973. So RFK had to be assassinated to stop Gene McCarthy, who was a good friend of Israel and of Israel's Prime Minister, Golda Meir, from pulling the US out of Vietnam, because the arab terrorists needed America to remain tied down in Vietnam, and thus less able to come to Israel's defense. A dead Bobby Kennedy could not be defeated by McCarthy in the New York state 1968 Democratic Presidential Primary. Only a live Bobby Kennedy could be defeated. Only a live Bobby Kennedy could then have been forced to drop out of the race and endorse Gene McCarthy for President. McCarthy was going to beat RFK in that primary. McCarthy was immensely popular in liberal New York State. It was McCarthy's good showing in the New Hampshire 1968 Democratic presidential primary that had forced President Johnson to announce that he would not seek re-election on March 31st, 1968. " Who Shot Martin Luther King? The federal government, and Tennessee authorities, aggressively pushed the lone-gunman theory-although this explanation was rejected out of hand by millions of Americans. At Ray's sentencing, as the state was telling the jury what the evidence would have been at a trial, Ray interrupted the proceedings to say he did not agree with the statement of Ramsey Clark, U.S. attorney general, that there was no conspiracy. Three days later Ray tried to withdraw his plea of guilty, even though that would subject him to a possible death sentence. The court refused. From that day forward there has been a tug-of-war between conspiracy believers and lone-gunman advocates. In 1979 the House Select Committee on Assassinations issued a report saying there probably was a conspiracy.

Dr. Clark, have you received a letter from the President's Commission enclosing a copy of the Executive Order establishing `the Commission' and a copy of a Senate and House Joint Resolution about the Commission, and a letter relating to the taking of testimony by the Commission? Dr. Clark. I have. Mr. Specter. And are you willing to proceed with this deposition today, even though 3 days have not elapsed between the time you received the letter and this morning? Dr. Clark. Yes. Mr. Specter. Would you state your full name for the record, please? Dr. Clark. William Kemp Clark. Mr. Specter. Will you outline in a general way your educational background, please? Dr. Clark. Yes. I graduated from the University of Texas in Austin, 1944. I graduated from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston in 1948. I interned at Indiana University Medical Center and was a resident in surgery there from 1948 to 1950. I spent 2 years in the Air Force and then took my residency in neurological surgery at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. This was from 1953 to 1956, at which time I came to the University of Texas, Southwestern Medical School, as chairman of the division of neurological surgery.

By Lisa Pease The Clark Panel was the medical panel convened almost immediately after Ramsey Clark had been approved for his appointment as Attorney General in 1967. The panel was clearly convened to put to rest the growing doubts caused by the exposures of Mark Lane, Harold Weisberg, other researchers and even in late 1966, LIFE magazine itself. All of the above talked about the evidence of conspiracy, and the implication is that the medical evidence would either show conspiracy, or else, signs of tampering. What brought it to a crux was Jim Garrison's all-out investigation of the assassination, which, in 1967, was making official story proponents very nervous. One of the key questions raised by the New Orleans DA was this: Why hadn't the Warren Commission members examined the autopsy photographs and X-rays? " On April 4th 1968 Martin Luther King was assassinated while standing on the balcony at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis. " Martin Luther King on anti-Zionism From M.L. King Jr., " Letter to an Anti-Zionist Friend, " Saturday Review XLVII (Aug. 1967), p. 76. Reprinted in M.L. King Jr., " This I Believe: Selections from the Writings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. " " . . . You declare, my friend, that you do not hate the Jews, you are merely `anti-Zionist.' And I say, let the truth ring forth from the high mountain tops, let it echo through the valleys of God's green earth: When people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews-this is God's own truth. Anti-Semitism, the hatred of the Jewish people, has been and remains a blot on the soul of mankind. In this we are in full agreement. So know also this: anti-Zionist is inherently anti- Semitic, and ever will be so. Why is this? You know that Zionism is nothing less than the dream and ideal of the Jewish people returning to live in their own land. The Jewish people, the Scriptures tell us, once enjoyed a flourishing Commonwealth in the Holy Land. From this they were expelled by the Roman tyrant, the same Romans who cruelly murdered Our Lord. Driven from their homeland, their nation in ashes, forced to wander the globe, the Jewish people time and again suffered the lash of whichever tyrant happened to rule over them. The Negro people, my friend, know what it is to suffer the torment of tyranny under rulers not of our choosing. Our brothers in Africa have begged, pleaded, requested-DEMANDED-the recognition and realization of our inborn right to live in peace under our own sovereignty in our own country. How easy it should be, for anyone who holds dear this inalienable right of all mankind, to understand and support the right of the Jewish People to live in their ancient Land of Israel. All men of good will exult in the fulfillment of God's promise, that his People should return in joy to rebuild their plundered land. This is Zionism, nothing more, nothing less. And what is anti-Zionist? It is the denial to the Jewish people of a fundamental right that we justly claim for the people of Africa and freely accord all other nations of the Globe. It is discrimination against Jews, my friend, because they are Jews. In short, it is anti-Semitism. The anti-Semite rejoices at any opportunity to vent his malice. The times have made it unpopular, in the West, to proclaim openly a hatred of the Jews. This being the case, the anti-Semite must constantly seek new forms and forums for his poison. How he must revel in the new masquerade! He does not hate the Jews, he is just `anti-Zionist'! My friend, I do not accuse you of deliberate anti-Semitism. I know you feel, as I do, a deep love of truth and justice and a revulsion for racism, prejudice, and discrimination. But I know you have been misled-as others have been-into thinking you can be `anti-Zionist' and yet remain true to these heartfelt principles that you and I share. Let my words echo in the depths of your soul: When people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews-make no mistake about it.

The event honored King and Dr. Vera King Farris, President of Stockton College and a leading scholar in Holocaust studies. Speaking to about a 100 guests, Ambassador Sisso said that those attending the gathering " share the burden on the shoulders of every man, woman and child who has ever been persecuted, whether because of their skin or their religious beliefs. " He added that friendship and education are the instruments with which to battle the pathology of hate, citing Dr. Martin Luther King's vision for creating a more just society. Martin Luther King III, citing his father, said that " injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. " He called for Jewish and African Americans to continue in his father's path, stressing the importance of the relationship between the two groups. Dr. Farris, who recently received an honorary degree from the Ben- Gurion University in Be'er Sheva, and who has visited Israel many times, thanked Ambassador Sisso with a greeting in Hebrew, and continued: " It was Martin Luther King Jr. who told me I could have a vision, and mine was the Holocaust. " She recounted the activities of Stockton College Holocaust research center, which has worked to ensure legislation in the state of New Jersey mandating Holocaust education. The event concluded with a jazz ensemble performing " We Shall Overcome " , during which guests stood up and joined in the singing, while clasping hands. This annual occasion is part of the State of Israel's recognition of the exceptional contributions of individuals in the African-American community, in whose name trees are planted in the Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial forest in Israel, located near Nazareth.

Gene would have ended the Vietnam War promptly in 1969. Gene McCarthy was a good personal friend of Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir. He was a friend of Israel. Gene would probably have been re-elected in 1972. There probably would NOT have been an arab surprise attack on Israel on October 6th, 1973 with Gene McCarthy in the White House and the US NOT tied down in Indochina. In our view ARAFAT ordered the assassinations of BOTH BOBBY KENNEDY AND DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING. The cost to the African-American community of the death of the most Gandhian leader it ever had is incalculable in terms of wasted human lives. Dr. King was also a friend to the Jewish community. Imagine a world in which there never had been a split between the Jewish community and the African American community. Instead of Jesse Jackson assuming the mantle of the slain Dr. King, and going on to lead the charge against the Jewish community after Jimmy Carter fired Andy Young for shaking hands with an arafat observer at the UN, and going on to make his infamous " Hymietown " remark, Martin Luther King would have led the African-American community. (JIMMY CARTER allegedly got ten million dollars from the infamous arab CIA DRUG BANK BCCI for the CARTER LIBRARY, Andy Young allegedly Got $100,000 from BCCI, Jackson allegedly got $5 million dollars for his OPERATION PUSH from Iraq and allegedly got another $5 million Dollars from Libya).. Senator Heinz and Martin Luther King both died on April 4th Was Senator Heinz assassinated too? We believe that Dr. King was assassinated, as we discuss in this post, for a variety of reasons.

On June 4, Senators John Heinz (R-PA) and Edward Kennedy (D-MA) introduced a resolution, with 67 cosponsors, opposing an arms sale to Jordan under present conditions. By mid-month five other senators had added their signature to the resolution-which states, in part, that arms sales to Arab countries " jeopardize both the security of Israel and progress toward peace in the Middle East.

Res. 97 Whereas a 1975 agreement between Israel and the United States prohibits talks between United States officials and the Palestine Liberation Organization until the Palestine Liberation Organization recognizes Israel's right to exist and accepts United Nations Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338; Whereas section 1302(b) of the International Security Development and Cooperation Act of 1975 added the renunciation of terrorism to these conditions; Whereas these conditions have been reaffirmed by statute five times since 1984; Whereas on December 14, 1988, Secretary of State George Shultz determined that, by virtue of a statement by Yasser Arafat, the Palestine Liberation Organization had fulfilled the conditions required by law for discussions with United States officials to commence; Whereas Yasser Arafat had previously renounced terrorism in the Cairo Declaration of November 7, 1985; Whereas the Palestine Liberation Organization failed to live up to its commitment to refrain from terrorism, as outlined in the Declaration of November 7, 1985, by carrying out no less than 92 terrorist attacks resulting in the deaths of 4 Americans; and Whereas Palestine Liberation Organization terrorist attacks on Israel have in the past resulted in the deaths of innocent Americans and, as such, continuing Palestine Liberation Organization terrorist attacks in Israel present a threat against the lives of innocent Americans visiting the Holy Land; Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That in the event further talks are held with the Palestine Liberation Organization— (1) the top priority of the United States in any such talks should be the prevention of terrorist and other violent activity by the Palestine Liberation Organization or any of its factions; and (2) during the next round of such talks the representative of the United States should obtain from the representative of the Palestine Liberation Organization a full accounting of the following reported terrorist or other violent activities which occurred after Yasser Arafat's commitment of December 14, 1988: (A) On December 26, 1988, an attempted infiltration into Israel by boat by four terrorists of the PLO-affiliated Popular Struggle Front. (B) On December 28, 1988, an attempted infiltration into Israel by three terrorists of the PLO-affiliated Palestine Liberation Front armed with Kalashnikov rifles, missiles, and anti-tank launchers. © On January 24, 1989, an unprovoked attack on an Israeli patrol in Southern Lebanon by PLO-affiliated Palestine Liberation Front.

Sec. 2. In the event further talks are held with the Palestine Liberation Organization, the Secretary of State should, within 10 days after the next round of such talks, report to the Senate on the accounting provided by the representative of the Palestine Liberation Organization of the incidents described in the first section of this resolution. Mr. HELMS. Today I offer a resolution which urges our State Department to obtain from the PLO an accounting of a series of violent acts which PLO-affiliated groups have reportedly undertaken since Yasser Arafat renounced terrorism last December. The resolution aims to reinforce the Bush administration policy of pressuring the PLO to reduce its violent activity. At the same time, the resolution focuses attention on what appears to be continuing PLO terrorist activity. The resolution is being introduced with 24 sponsors, including Senators from both parties and all parts of the political spectrum. Joining me on the resolution are Senators Gramm of Texas, Dole, Wilson, Graham of Florida, Bond, Metzenbaum, Boschwitz, Packwood, Nickles, Lautenberg, Heinz, Domenici, Kasten, McCain, Symms, Grassley, D'Amato, Pressler, Mack, Hatch, Humphrey, Coats, and Burns. Mr. President, on December 14, 1988, the State Department determined that, by virtue of a statement by Yasser Arafat, the PLO had fulfilled the conditions required by law for discussions with U.S. officials to commence. At that time, many observers felt that our Government made a tactical error in dealing with Yasser Arafat. I publicly questioned the wisdom of trying to combat terrorism by negotiating with terrorists. The State Department should have required that the conditions in the law—that the PLO renounce terrorism, recognize Israel, and accept UN Resolutions 242 and 338--be met not just in words, but in practice as well. There was doubt then, and doubt now, whether the PLO would and will live by the commitments made on December 14 by Yasser Arafat. Yasser Arafat is a terrorist and the PLO is a terrorist group—and we cannot expect terrorists to keep their word. Indeed, statements made since then by a number of key PLO leaders are entirely inconsistent with the commitments made by Arafat in December. Arafat himself flaunted his renunciation of terrorism by threatening—in a January radio broadcast—the life of any Palestinian leader who proposes an end to the violence in the territories. What is even more troubling is that PLO terrorist and other violent activity may actually be continuing. Since the Arafat commitment of December 14, there have been no fewer than nine reported terrorist or attempted terrorist acts involving PLO affiliated groups. This resolution expresses the sense of the Senate that the top priority of the United States in any future talks with the PLO should be a prevention of terrorist and other violent activity by the PLO or its factions. It also lists nine reported terrorist or attempted terrorist or violent acts involving PLO affiliated groups, urges the State Department to obtain from the PLO an accounting of these incidents, and asks the Secretary of State to report to the Senate on the accounting provided by the PLO. Mr. President, the longer the PLO continues its violent activities, the longer it will take to bring about a real peace in the Middle East. The Bush administration policy of making a reduction of violence a priority in any talks with the PLO is a recognition of this fact. The Senate should do its part by making certain that continuing terrorist and other violent activity by the PLO does not go unnoticed nor unanswered. [Page: S3519] • [begin insert] Mr. D'AMATO. Mr. President, I rise in support of this resolution expressing the sense of the Senate regarding Palestinian Liberation Organization terrorism. The absolute precondition to any talks between our Government and representatives of the PLO must be the cessation of all acts of terrorism. It is inconceivable to me that this Government could willingly and openly negotiate with any organization that equates violence with politics, that negotiates out of the barrel of a gun. At the outset of this process, former Secretary Shultz determined that the PLO had fulfilled the conditions necessary for talks to begin. He also warned that this determination was conditional, and subject to revision in view of continuing evidence of good faith. I urge Secretary of State Baker to proceed with the utmost caution and deliberation in dealing with Yasser Arafat or any of his confederates. This resolution seeks an accounting from Mr. Arafat regarding nine specific terrorist incidents all since his commitment in December 1988 to end the cycle of violence in the Middle East. Should he fail to provide it, or prove less than forthcoming, such negotiations cannot continue. The United States cannot permit itself to be seen as legitimizing or overlooking terrorism, no matter how worthy the policy goal. Only by divorcing himself completely from this inhuman lawlessness can Mr. Arafat hope to further the interests of the PLO. I look forward to the swift passage of this timely resolution, and urge all of my colleagues to join in supporting it. Mr. LAUTENBERG. Mr. President, I join with Senator Helms and my other colleagues in submitting this resolution calling for an accounting of the PLO's behavior since the United States began its dialog with that group. This resolution states that in the event further talks are held with the PLO, the top priority of the United States should be a cessation of terrorist and other violent activity by the PLO or any of its factions. During the next round of such talks, if they are held, the United States should obtain from the PLO a full accounting of reported terrorist activities which have occurred since the dialog began, and which appear to implicate the PLO or its constituent groups. And it calls on the Secretary of State to report to the Senate within 10 days of the next round of talks on the accounting provided by the PLO on these incidents. • [End insert] Mr. President, this resolution is important because recent events have cast doubt on Arafat's desire and ability to live up to his bold words of last December—his renunciation of terrorism, his acceptance of key United Nations Security Council resolutions, and his recognition of Israel's right to exist. For example, Arafat's threat to pump 10 bullets into anyone who thinks of stopping the intifada is clearly inconsistent with his December renunciation of terrorism. Former Secretary of State George Shultz acknowledged as much in a January 5, 1989, interview when he said that Arafat's threat squared very badly with the U.S. understanding of the PLO's renunciation of terrorism. The various incursions of PLO constituent groups into Lebanon, and Arafat's failure to date to denounce those terrorist actions, also are inconsistent with his pledge. There is also the specter of PLO involvement in the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland on December 21. This bombing, which killed 270 people, took place only 1 week after the United States decided to open talks with the PLO based on its renunciation of terrorism. Last October, West German police arrested members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine [PFLP] with radio cassette players containing explosive devices that could be detonated at high altitude. When Pan Am flight 103 crashed, the police established that the explosives that caused the crash were in a radio cassette player exactly like those found during the arrest of PFLP terrorists. This finding raises a strong suspicion of the involvement of this group in the planning of the crash. Given the fact that a representative of the PFLP sits on the Executive Committee of the Palestine National Council, the governing body of the PLO, possible involvement of the PFLP in the Pan Am crash raises further questions about the PLO's ability to fulfill its commitment to renounce terrorism. I believe that Arafat's December statements of moderation resulted from firm American insistence since 1975 on those conditions as a prerequisite for opening a dialog between the United States and the PLO. The success of that policy demonstrates that clearly anounced U.S. foreign policy goals, when adhered to, achieve results. Mr. President, when the United States began its dialog with the PLO, it was premised on the bedrock assumptions that Arafat would renounced terrorism and recognize Israel's right to exist. If the administration is pressing the PLO to make good on these commitments, that is not clear to me. I do not see evidence that Arafat is being held to his words or that those words are being matched with deeds. If the administration decides to continue the dialog, strong pressure must be kept on the PLO to live up to Arafat's promises and surely the dialog should be discontinued if those promises are not or cannot be kept. Arafat must denounce all acts of terrorism, and the leadership of Palestinian factions that continue to perpetrate terrorism. Arafat should put his words into writing by changing or revising the PLO's covenant, which is still committed to armed struggle and the destruction of Israel. The administration began this dialog with the specific understanding that it was contingent on the PLO's remaining true to its words. Congress seeks, through this resolution, to inform itself of whether the PLO is doing so. I urge my colleagues to swiftly adopt this resolution.

John Heinz III After speaking at a news conference in Williamsport, Pennsylvania on April 4, 1991, Heinz was headed to Philadelphia to conduct the first in a series of investigative hearings to examine the telemarketing of medical equipment to Medicare beneficiaries, " Bleeding Medicare Dry: The Great Sales Scam. " When the twin-engine plane carrying him and four other adults developed landing-gear trouble, a helicopter was dispatched to examine the problem. Consequently, the helicopter's blades accidentally hit the bottom of the plane, sending both aircraft to the ground and killing everyone on board. Two children, who were playing outside at noon recess at the Merion Elementary School in Montgomery County, were also killed when the wreckage fell on the school ground. Memorial services were held in Pittsburgh at the Heinz Memorial Chapel on the University of Pittsburgh's Oakland campus on April 10. Following the service, Heinz was buried in the family mausoleum in Homewood Cemetery. Another memorial service was held on April 12 at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. In a White House statement, President Bush remarked, " The people of Pennsylvania have lost a great leader, and the nation has lost a great senator...

A lot of political wheeling and dealing goes on at the Ramat Gan Sheraton City Towers, which is a preferred hang out for Likud Party primaries conferences.

In particular the section of the article immediately below: " This is the second major exodus in Zoroastrian history. In Iran, after Muslims rose to power in the seventh century A.D., historians say the Zoroastrian population was decimated by massacres, persecution and conversions to Islam. Seven boatloads of Zoroastrian refugees fled Iran and landed on the coast of India in 936. Their descendants, known as Parsis, built Mumbai, formerly Bombay, into the world capital of Zoroastrianism. " We of course noted that the date of the attacks in Mumbai, formerly called Bombay was the 11th. " Terror revisits Mumbai as 147 die in serial blasts HT hindustantimes Correspondent Mumbai, July 11, 2006 Terror had a plan in mind as it visited Mumbai on Tuesday. The powerful explosions that killed at least 147 rush-hour commuters and tore apart seven local-train compartments were methodically executed to shock the country's financial capital and hurl it into chaos. Unlike the 1993 blasts, aimed at the city's institutions, 11/7 was meant to hit the people who represented the face of globalising Mumbai. The bombs — in all probability improvised explosive devices, the choice of terror groups in the past 10 years — exploded mostly in first-class compartments ferrying professionals and businessmen during the evening rush hour. Terror in Mumbai The first bomb exploded at 6.15 p.m. at Bandra station, followed by one on a train pulling out of Mahim station. All the stations hit (Matunga, Mahim, Bandra, Khar, Jogeshwari, Borivali and Mira Road) are strung along a 60-km stretch of the western commuter line. These are among the city's affluent suburbs — home to bankers, businessmen, entertainment moguls, actors and other upper-middle-class professionals. Mumbai Police Commissioner A.N. Roy said investigations were on to zero in on the terrorist outfit responsible. Preliminary reports suggest the involvement of the Lashkar-e-Tayebba. The police are probing possible links between the blasts and the seizures of radio- enabled detonators in Mumbai in March and a huge consignment of RDX in Aurangabad in May. They had busted two suspected modules of the Lashkar following the seizures. The bombings drove Mumbai to the edge. As the western line ground to a halt — something even the monsoons could not do this year — roads jammed, mobile networks collapsed and panic-stricken commuters walked home by the thousands in driving rain. The blast sites were filled with gruesome scenes. Dazed and bloodied survivors struggled to come to terms with what had happened. Bodies and limbs were strewn everywhere. One first-class compartment was compacted into a solid block, the people inside crushed.

Those weapons are evidence of crimes committed by those who armed Saddam with those weapons. Dont let those crimes get covered up. We dont know how many of those weapons were destroyed by American bombing. We dont know how many of them are buried in Spider Holes in Iraq, just like Saddam was until he got dug out of one. We dont know how many of those weapons were transferred to Baathist Syria by Batthist Iraq and may now be in Syria or in the Syrian controlled Bekaa Valley in Lebanon. The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously to demand that Saddam turn those Weapons over. He failed to do so. The permanent members of the U.N. Security Council Had good intelligence about those weapons. France, Russia, the U.S. the U.K. China all had good intelligence about those weapons. Many of those countries, if not all, supplied Saddam with those weapons in the first place. Their intelligence agencies knew they were In Iraq because their intelligence agencies and their military establishments had supplied them to Iraq in the first place. Dont let anyone tell you that the weapons of mass destruction were not there. Lets start right here: Excerpted from Meet the Press Transcript for March 14th, 2004 National Security Advisor Dr.Condoleezza Rice: Tim, we also have to take this fight to the terrorists. They committed an act of war on 9/11 against the United States. They went for the Pentagon. They were going for the Capitol and for the White House. They were trying to decapitate us. Thats an act of war. And unless we recognize that we have to go after them in their strongholds, were going to sit here and try to defend, and we will not be able to do it in a way that is consistent with the openness that we would like to maintain as Americans. We are succeeding because slowly, but surely, their world is getting smaller, not larger. They dont have Afghanistan as a base of operations. They will not have Iraq as a base of operations. *** They will not have Libya. They will not have Sudan. Slowly but surely, their world is getting smaller, and its only through a policy that is aggressive and tough that were ultimately going to defeat them.

Present were former secretary of defense Frank Carlucci, former secretary of state James Baker III, and representatives of the bin Laden family. This was not some underground presidential bunker or Central Intelligence Agency interrogation room. It was the Ritz-Carlton in Washington, D.C., the plush setting for the annual investor conference of one of the most powerful, well-connected, and secretive companies in the world: the Carlyle Group....Among those associated with Carlyle are former U.S. President George Bush Sr., former U.K. Prime Minister John Major, and former President of the Philippines Fidel Ramos.

That someone was who? We do not know but it certainly seems to us that someone does know who set the date and location for that meeting.How Do We Know that Iraq Tried to Assassinate President George H.W. Bush? The following report appears on the website of the Department of Justice. Former President George Bush visited Kuwait between April 14 and April 16, 1993, to commemorate the allied victory in the Persian Gulf War. Accompanying Bush were his wife, two of his sons, former Secretary of State James A. Baker III, former Chief of Staff John Sununu, and former Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady. In late-April 1993, the United States learned that terrorists had attempted to assassinate Bush during his visit to Kuwait. The Kuwaiti authorities arrested 17 persons suspected in the plot to kill Bush using explosives hidden in a Toyota Landcruiser. The Kuwaitis recovered the Landcruiser, which contained between 80 and 90 kilograms of plastic explosives connected to a detonator ( the Bush device or Bush explosive device ). The Kuwaitis also recovered ten cube-shaped plastic explosive devices with detonators (the cube- bombs ) from the Landcruiser. Some of the suspects reportedly confessed that the Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS ) was behind the assassination attempt. On April 29, 1993, CIA bomb technicians compared the Bush explosive device to two known Iraqi explosive devices found in different Middle-Eastern countries in 1990 and 1991 (the Middle-East devices ) . The technicians reported that the remote control firing mechanism in the Bush device was identical to those in the Middle- East devices. Additionally, the technicians reported that blasting caps from the Bush device appeared to be identical to those found in one of the Middle-East devices. The technicians later concluded that the circuit board from the Bush device also closely resembled circuit boards from the Middle-East devices. In early-May 1993, the FBI sent personnel to Kuwait to interview the suspects and examine the physical evidence. FBI Special Agents, along with representatives of the Secret Service and State Department, interviewed 16 suspects, some more than once. Two of the suspects, Wali Abd Al-Hadi Abd Al-Hasan Al-Ghazali ( Al-Ghazali ) and Rad Abd Al-Amir Abbud Al-Asadi ( Al-Asadi ), admitted during the FBI interviews that they had participated in the plot at the direction of the IIS. Explosives examiner Jordan also traveled to Kuwait in May 1993 to examine the Bush device. Jordan examined the main charge, which was hidden in three panels in the Landcruiser and was capable of being detonated by remote control, a timing device, or a push-pull suicide switch. Jordan compared the Bush device to photographs of the Middle- East devices, as well as other devices, and concluded that the same person or persons manufactured the Bush device and one of the Middle- East devices, and that a connection existed between persons responsible for the Bush device and several other devices, including the other Middle-East device. Jordan reported these conclusions in a May 11, 1993 Laboratory report. Jordan then returned to Washington, D.C., and delivered samples of the explosives from the Bush device to Whitehurst. Whitehurst analyzed the explosive from the main charge and concluded that the substance was approximately 96% RDX, 3% polyvinyl-isobutyl ether binder, and 1% hydrocarbon oil. As for samples from the cube-bombs, Whitehurst concluded that the explosive was consistent with an explosive containing RDX bound with a cross-linked phenoxy or epoxy binder containing Sudan I dye. Whitehurst reported these findings in his June 7, 1993, dictation. Shortly thereafter, Jordan returned to the Middle-East to conduct further examinations of the Bush device and the Middle-East devices. Based on these examinations, Jordan reported significant consistencies in the selection of individual components and alterations to manufactured items in all of the devices. Jordan concluded that the similarities represented signature characteristics. He further reported that the same person or persons of close association constructed the remote control fuzing systems and electronic timing mechanisms used in all of these devices. Jordan also reported that a second person or persons of close association were responsible for adding wiring and components to the Bush device and one of the Middle-East devices, enabling those devices to be incorporated in vehicles. Jordan reported these conclusions in his June 18, 1993, Laboratory report, in which he also summarized parts of Whitehursts June 7, 1993, dictation. On June 2, 1993, representatives of the FBI, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and others in the Department of Justice (DOJ) discussed the results of their investigations with representatives of the Clinton Administration. Three weeks later, the DOJ and CIA reported their conclusions. The DOJ and CIA reported that it was highly likely that the Iraqi Government originated the plot and more than likely that Bush was the target. Additionally, based on past Iraqi methods and other sources of intelligence, the CIA independently reported that there was a strong case that Saddam Hussein directed the plot against Bush. On June 26, 1993, the United States launched a cruise missile attack against a building housing the IIS in Baghdad in retaliation for the assassination attempt on former President Bush. According to news reports, the attack killed between six and eight persons and injured approximately 12 others. On June 27, 1993, Madeleine Albright, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, addressed an emergency session of the Security Council and provided evidence to support the attack on the IIS facility. Imagine the rage and fury of Saddam Hussein On February 26th, 1982 the Reagan Administration told Congress that it had dropped Iraq from the list of nations that supported acts of international terrorism. Baghdad would now be eligible for American government loan guarantees. source: SPIDERS WEB: THE SECRET HISTORY OF HOW THE WHITE HOUSE ILLEGALLY ARMED IRAQ by Alan Friedman ASIN: 0553096508 Imagine Saddams rage and fury when Kuwait was liberated on February 26th, 1991, 9 years to the day after the event described above! Is it any wonder that Saddam would launch the first of his 2 attacks on the World Trade Center on February 26th, 1993, the 2nd anniversary of the liberation of Kuwait City, and the 11th anniversary of the event described above, and that he would launch his 2nd attack on the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001, the 11th anniversary of the Bush I speech to Congress on Iraq.

Saddam sent his henchman Osama bin Laden to attack America and to assassinate former President Bush, who was at the White House on the morning of September 11th, 2001,just as he had tried to assassinate former President Bush in Kuwait in 1993. That is why Flight 93 was selected to hit the White House on the morning of September 11th, 2001. Fortunately the heroes of Flight 93 stopped that from happening and the plane went down in Pennsylvania. Second Attempt to Assassinate President Bush. We all know that Saddam Hussein attempted to assassinate former President Bush in Kuwait in 1993. Laura Bush, wife of the current President Bush, along with the current President Bushs brothers, his parents, and former Secretary of State Baker were actually in the air enroute to Kuwait when the intelligence came in and their plane was turned back. Then President Clinton later bombed an empty Iraqi intelligence building in retaliation for that attempt in which Saddams homicide bombers were caught in Kuwait with the explosives strapped to them. We believe that the Second Attempt to assassinate former President George Herbert Walker Bush was made by Saddam Hussein using his henchman Osama bin Laden on September 11th, 2001.

It is a black day in the history of America, which is tasting the bitter defeat of its crimes and disregard for peoples will to lead a free, decent life. The massive explosions in the centers of power in America, notably the Pentagon, is a painful slap in the face of US politicians to stop their illegitimate hegemony and attempts to impose custodianship on peoples. It was no coincidence that the World Trade Center was destroyed in suicidal operations involving two planes that have broken through all US security barriers to carry the operation of the century and to express rejection of the reckless US policy. Panic has spread among US official circles, which evacuated the White House following a series of explosions. They also evacuated the Pentagon, the State Department, and Congress and closed down the airports and government institutions. The collapse of US centers of power is a collapse of the US policy, which deviates from human values and stands by world Zionism at all international forums to continue to slaughter the Palestinian Arab people and implement US plans to dominate the world under the cover of what is called the new [world] order. These are the fruits of the new US order.

(Photo: AP) The San Francisco-bound jet had turned toward Washington and U.S. fighter jets were flying to intercept it when it crashed. All 44 people aboard were killed. (CBS) A high-ranking al Qaeda detainee told investigators the intended target of United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed into a Pennsylvania field on Sept. 11, was the White House. Government sources said Abu Zubaydah, now in U.S. custody, is believed to be the source of the information. He is being interrogated by U.S. officials at an undisclosed location. Investigators have linked Zubaydah directly to hijackers on board Flight 93. United Flight 93 took off from Newark, N.J., and crashed in Somerset County, Pa.. A recorder on the plane and calls made to people on the ground indicate passengers fought for control with the hijackers before it went down. The San Francisco-bound jet had turned toward Washington and U.S. fighter jets were flying to intercept it when it crashed. All 44 people aboard were killed. Officials previously had assumed the White House was a likely target, but said the Capitol and CIA headquarters in McLean, Va., near Washington were other possibilities.Abu Zubaydah is believed to have played a key role in organizing the Sept. 11 attacks, officials said. As al Qaedas top operational planner, he ran the Khalden camp in Afghanistan, where U.S. investigators have learned many of the Sept. 11 hijackers trained. This suggests Abu Zubaydah may have had direct contact with the hijackers and chosen them for training. He also had telephone contacts with at least one Arab student at U.S. flight schools, according to a July 10, 2001, memo from a Phoenix FBI agent. The CIA, FBI and Pakistani authorities captured and wounded Abu Zubaydah in a raid by in Faisalabad, Pakistan, in March. He is believed to have masterminded the failed millennium bombing plots in Los Angeles and Jordan, and has been linked to failed plots on the U.S. embassies in Paris and Sarajevo. Abu Zubaydah was also indirectly linked, through a web of associations with other al Qaeda members in Europe, to lead Sept. 11 hijacker Mohammed Atta and his cell in Hamburg, Germany. Three members of the Hamburg cell were suicide hijackers; three others are still at large. Ziad Jarrah, believed to be the pilot-hijacker of Flight 93, was a member of the Hamburg cell. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/05/20/attack/main509535.shtml (MY THEORY ABOUT THE CHOICE OF FLIGHT 93 WAS THAT 1993 WAS THE YEAR IN WHICH SADDAM FIRST TRIED TO ASSASSINATE FORMER PRESIDENT BUSH IN KUWAIT, IT WAS ALSO THE YEAR IN WHICH SADDAM HUSSEIN FIRST TRIED TO DESTROY THE WORLD TRADE CENTER. IT TURNED OUT TO BE AN UNLUCKY NUMBER FOR SADDAM HUSSEIN BECAUSE THE PASSENGERS ON FLIGHT 93 BECAME HEROES AND STOPPED THE PLANE FROM GOING INTO THE WHITE HOUSE) So lets get Abu Zubaydah in front of the 9/11 Commission lets get former White House Press Secretary for George Walker Bush ARI FLEISCHER in front of the 9/11 Commission. The questions we want to see them and National Security Adviser Dr.Condoleezza Rice include, among others,: How did you know that THE WHITE HOUSE was the target on 9/11? and Did you know that former President George Herbert Walker Bush was at THE WHITE HOUSE on 9/11? " Moussaoui Says He Was to Hijack 5th Plane By MATTHEW BARAKAT, Associated Press Writer (Monday March 27, 2006) Al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui testified Monday that he and would-be shoe bomber Richard Reid were supposed to hijack a fifth airplane on Sept. 11, 2001, and fly it into the White House. Moussaoui's testimony on his own behalf stunned the courtroom. His account was in stark contrast to his previous statements in which he said the White House attack was to come later if the United States refused to release a radical Egyptian sheik imprisoned on earlier terrorist convictions. On Dec. 22, 2001, Reid was subdued by passengers when he attempted to detonate a bomb in his shoe aboard American Airlines Flight 63 from Paris to Miami. There were 197 people on board. The plane was diverted to Boston, where it landed safely. Moussaoui told the court he knew the World Trade Center attack was coming and that he lied to investigators when arrested in August 2001 because he wanted it to happen. " You lied because you wanted to conceal that you were a member of al- Qaida? " prosecutor Rob Spencer asked. " That's correct, " Moussaoui said. Spencer: " You lied so the plan could go forward? " Moussaoui: " That's correct. " The exchange was key to the government's case that the attacks might have been averted if Moussaoui had been more cooperative following his arrest. Moussaoui told the court he knew the attacks were coming some time after August 2001 and bought a radio so he could hear them unfold. Specifically, he said he knew the World Trade Center was going to be attacked, but asserted he was not part of that plot and didn't know the details. Nineteen men pulled off the Sept. 11 attacks on New York in Washington in the worst act of terrorism ever on U.S. soil. " I had knowledge that the Twin Towers would be hit, " Moussaoui said. " I didn't know the details of this. " Asked by his lawyer why he signed his guilty plea in April as " the 20th hijacker, " Moussaoui replied: " Because everybody used to refer to me as the 20th hijacker and it was a bit of fun. " Before Moussaoui took the stand, his lawyers made a last attempt to stop him from testifying, but failed. Defense attorney Gerald Zerkin argued that his client would not be a competent witness because he has contempt for the court, only recognizes Islamic law and therefore " the affirmation he undertakes would be meaningless. " Moussaoui at first denied he was to have been a fifth hijack pilot Sept. 11 but under cross examination spoke of the plan that would have him attack the White House. He said Reid was the only person he knew for sure would have been on that mission, but others were discussed. The 19 terrorists on Sept. 11 hijacked and crashed four airliners, killing nearly 3,000 people in the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and on the planes. The intended target of the plane that crashed into a Pennsylvania field remains unknown. Moussaoui said he talked with an al-Qaida official in 1999 about why a 1993 bombing at the World Trade Center failed to bring the towers down. He said " was asked in the same period for the first time if I want to be a suicide pilot and I declined. " Just before Moussaoui took the stand, the court heard testimony that two months before the attacks that a CIA deputy chief waited in vain for permission to tell the FBI about a " very high interest " al-Qaida operative who became one of the hijackers. The official, a senior figure in the CIA's Osama bin Laden unit, said he sought authorization on July 13, 2001, to send information to the FBI but got no response for 10 days, then asked again. As it turned out, the information on Khalid al-Mihdhar did not reach the FBI until late August. At the time, CIA officers needed permission from a special unit before passing certain intelligence on to the FBI. The official was identified only as John. His written testimony was read into the record. " John's " testimony was part of the defense's case that federal authorities missed multiple opportunities to catch hijackers and perhaps thwart the 9/11 plot. His testimony included an e-mail sent by FBI supervisor Michael Maltbie discussing Moussaoui but playing down his terrorist connections. Maltbie's e-mail said " there's no indication that (Moussaoui) had plans for any nefarious activity. " He sent that e-mail to the CIA even after receiving a lengthy memo from the FBI agent who arrested Moussaoui and suspected him of being a terrorist with plans to hijack aircraft. Prosecutors argue that Moussaoui, a French citizen, thwarted a prime opportunity to track down the 9/11 hijackers and possibly unravel the plot when he was arrested in August 2001 on immigration violations and lied to the FBI about his al-Qaida membership and plans to hijack a plane. Had Moussaoui confessed, the FBI could have pursued leads that would have led them to most of the hijackers, government witnesses have testified. To win the death penalty, prosecutors must first prove that Moussaoui's actions — specifically, his lies — were directly responsible for at least one death on Sept. 11. If they fail, Moussaoui would get life in prison. Associated Press Writer Michael J.

The Cabinet discussed recent events of Palestinian Intifadha and praised Palestinians brave and persistent struggle for liberating their lands. The cabinet reviewed the current international situation, especially the U.S aggression on Afghanistan. The Cabinet brought back a historic stance Iraq had taken in 1979 when it condemned the military Soviet invasion of Afghanistan though Iraq had then deep relations with the Soviet Union and there was a friendship and cooperation agreement between Iraq and the Soviet Union, yet this had not prevented Iraq from taking the national independent stand rejecting Soviets behavior. History repeats itself once again in 2001 as Iraq takes the same stance and condemns the US aggression on Afghanistan....this confirms Iraqs principled stance rejecting all forms of foreign intervention and aggressions. The Cabinet discussed issues listed on its agenda and made necessary decisions and recommendations. http://www.uruklink.net/iraqnews/enews14.htm " It occurred on the second anniversary of Iraq's expulsion from Kuwait City, and the Bank of Kuwait just happened to have a vault in the basement of the World Trade Center.

Iraq has excellent relations with the anti-Western Yemeni Islamists of the Army of Aden-Abyan, whose militants have been arrested by the Yemenite authorities in connection with the attack. Such an attack required long preparations, technical and military skills and good operational intelligence. In addition, the explosive used in the attack was sophisticated, a shaped charge like a torpedo or a missile, a device not in use by terrorist organizations, and which may have come from a military stockpile. 4 DAYS BEFORE SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 Saddams Stepson in USA Authorities said Saffi (Saddams Stepson), triggered red flags for four reasons: the family relationship to the Iraqi dictator; training at an American flight school; arrival on the eve of the Independence Day celebrations; and his only documented prior entry into the United States occurred just four days before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

MEPF/message/61598 " LONDON, Sept 20TH,2001 (Reuters) - The military journal Janes has reported that Israeli intelligence believes Iraq was a sponsor of the attacks on the United States last week. Foreign Report, published by Janes Information Group, said on its website on Thursday that officers in Israeli military intelligence believed two of the worlds foremost terrorist masterminds had led the attacks. The journal named them as Imad Moughniyeh of Lebanon, a man it said was head of special overseas operations for Hizbollah, and Egyptian Ayman Al Zawahri, a senior member of prime suspect Osama bin Ladens Al-Qaeda group. The Iraqis, who for several years paid smaller groups to do their dirty work, were quick to discover the advantages of Al-Qaeda, Foreign Report said. We believe that the operational brains behind the New York attack were Moughniyeh and Zawahri, who were probably financed and got some logistical support from the Iraqi Intelligence Service (SSO), an Israeli intelligence source told Foreign Report. Foreign Report quoted the Israeli sources as saying that Iraqi intelligence officers had been shuttling between Baghdad and Afghanistan, meeting Zawahri, for the past two years. According to the sources, the Pakistanis captured one of the Iraqi intelligence officers last October near the border with Afghanistan. The Iraqis are also reported to have established strong ties with Imad Moughniyeh, the report said. It quoted unconfirmed reports in Beirut as saying that Moughniyeh had undergone plastic surgery and was unrecognisable. The report quoted one Israeli intelligence source as saying Israeli military intelligence had warned Israels allies six weeks ago that an unprecedented, massive terror attack was expected. Moughniyeh, a member of Lebanons Shiite Muslim Hizbollah movement, was behind a wave of anti-American attacks in Lebanon in the 1980s, including the truck bombing of a barracks in Beirut in 1983 that killed 241 U.S. Marines and sailors. He led a network of kidnappers who held dozens of American and other Western hostages in Lebanon for some seven years. Zawahri was indicted in New York in 1999 in connection with the bombing of the U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya on August 7, 1998. 09-20-01 Kicking Hitler out of Czechoslovakia while leaving him in power would not have solved the problem of the need to destroy Hitler , nor did kicking Saddam out of Kuwait while leaving him in power solve the problem of the need to destroy Saddam.

Cousin of Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan suspected in kibbutz massacre By Margot Dudkevitch Nov. 13, 2002 Security forces arrested a number of Palestinian terrorist suspects in Judea and Samaria on Tuesday as a manhunt continued for Tanzim terrorist Sirhan Sirhan, blamed for the shooting attack in Kibbutz Metzer on Sunday night November 10th, 2002. Security sources confirmed Wednesday that they suspect that Sirhan, a resident of Tulkarm, carried out the attack and Palestinian reports claimed that his uncle was among those arrested on Tuesday by security forces. The suspect is related to Sirhan B. Sirhan, the Jerusalemite who assassinated US Senator Robert Kennedy in 1968. Kennedy was shot dead in 1968 at Los Angeles Ambassador Hotel by Sirhan Sirhan, a 25-year-old Palestinian immigrant who said he felt betrayed by Kennedys support for Israel in the Six-Day War of 1967. At the time, Kennedy was a Democratic senator running for president. Israeli security sources said they believe the gunman in the Kibbutz Metzer attack is a cousin of the Kennedy assassin, and may have been named after his infamous relative. The Kennedy assassin is serving a life sentence in a California state prison. His lawyers have suggested that if he was released from prison he could return to the so called palestinian territories. Sirhan has been denied parole 10 times and prosecutors say his return to Judea and Samaria could further enflame the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Meanwhile, the Tanzim Al-Aksa Brigades on Tuesday vowed to continue attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers, after claiming Sundays attack at Metzer in which five people were killed. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite pagenameJPost/A/JPArticle/Show Full & cid 37076677290 Tanzim - Arafat loyalists schooled in the first intifada n 1995 the Fatah leadership instituted its own militia, the Tanzim.

James Walsh said he knew of a tape recording in which Arafat calmly discussed an attack on the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Khartoum, Sudan. In February 1973 gunmen had burst into the embassy and seized American Ambassador Cleo Noel and his charge daffaires, George Curtis Moore. The Black September terrorist organization took responsibility for the assault and demanded the release of Sirhan Sirhan, the imprisoned assassin of Robert F. Kennedy, and other jailed Palestinians. Walsh, then a member of the National Security Agency based in Cyprus, said his organization intercepted a conversation between Arafat and Black September in which the PLO chairman ordered the killing of the Americans and a Belgian diplomat. Walsh told the Israeli newspaper Haaretz that the conversation was never disclosed by U.S. officials because it would compromise American eavesdropping resources. Walsh said the NSA had intercepted a series of phone calls between Arafat and the Black September kidnappers. Officials in Jerusalem said the United States had been informed of the conversation through another channel. They said then-Prime Minister Golda Meir told then-President Richard Nixon that Israel had also intercepted a conversation between Arafat and kidnap leader Khalil al-Wazir, in which they discussed killing the Americans.. Two weeks before he was murdered Doctor King had endorsed the Presidential Candidacy of Eugene McCarthy, Democrat of Minnesota for the 1968 Democratic Presidential Nomination. Senator McCarthy, (not to be confused with Republican Senator Joe McCarthy of Wisconsin who was Eugene McCarthys opposite in more ways than one), campaigned on a platform of opposition to the Vietnam War in 1968, a war that McCarthy called: Illegal, Immoral, and unconstitutional. Two weeks later Dr. King was murdered in Memphis. Had he lived he would have gone on to campaign for McCarthy, who was 7 points ahead of Nixon in the polls. With Dr. King by his side McCarthy would have gone on to be nominated by the Democratic Party in 1968 and elected President in November 1968. Robert F. Kennedy would have ended his campaign and joined with Gene McCarthy and Dr. King to end the war. Instead Dr. Kings murder caused disunity in the Democratic Party. Bobby Kennedy sought the Democratic Presidential nomination, only to be murdered himself on June 4th, 1968 2 months to the day after Dr. King was murdered. June 4th, 1968 was also the first anniversary of the Six- Day War. As the US Senator from New York State, a state that McCarthy would have carried handily in the June 1968 Democratic Primary, Bobby Kennedy would have to have obeyed the wishes of the people of his state and dropped out of the Presidential race after that primary and endorsed Gene McCarthy. But the primary came after Bobby Kennedy had been killed. Beating a dead Bobby Kennedy was no victory. Not having a live Bobby Kennedy on hand to concede defeat and endorse Gene McCarthy meant that Hubert Humphrey, a supporter of the war in Vietnam, would go on to become the Democratic Presidential nominee, only to lose to Richard M. Nixon in November of 1968. Thus the war in Vietnam would continue no matter who, Humphrey, or Nixon, won. In his Texas days, the politically ambitious elder Clark was cultivated as a useful connection by New Orleans Mafia kingpin Carlos Marcello, and many feared Clarks new job would afford organized crime access to higher levels of power. AG Clark was repeatedly mired in corruption scandals.*** In 1947, after he had four convicted Chicago mob bosses sprung from prison before their terms were complete, Congress appointed a committee to investigate-and was effectively road blocked by Toms refusal to hand over parole records. Roselli was a Las Vegas based Mafia figure and a link in the CIA-Mafia chain. He had close ties to three Mafia bosses associated with the Kennedy assassination: Sam Giancana of Chicago, Santos Trafficante of Florida, and Carlos Marcello of New Orleans. According to columnist Jack Anderson, Roselli told him that mob leaders had ordered Jack Ruby to kill Lee Harvey Oswald because they were afraid he might crack and reveal their part in the conspiracy to kill President Kennedy. In July 1976, shortly before Roselli was to be questioned by the Senate Intelligence Committee, his body was discovered floating in Dumfoundling Bay in Miami. He had been strangled and stabbed; his legs had been sawed off and stuffed into an empty oil drum along with the rest of his body. It is believed that Roselli was killed by someone working for Trafficante because he was talking too much about the Kennedy assassination. Conspiracy Crime and Cover-Up (p. 44): Here Scott discusses links between Ruby, Roselli, and Ramsey Clark.

Hoffa told one reporter, on the day Ruby killed Oswald, Bobby Kennedys just another lawyer now. Several days after the assassination, he took Ragano aside, saying: I told you they could do it.

On June 4, Senators John Heinz (R-PA) and Edward Kennedy (D-MA) introduced a resolution, with 67 cosponsors, opposing an arms sale to Jordan under present conditions. By mid-month five other senators had added their signature to the resolution-which states, in part, that arms sales to Arab countries jeopardize both the security of Israel and progress toward peace in the Middle East. Facing such determined resistance, the Administration decided, once again, to postpone action on the sale for the indefinite future.

Had Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy NOT been assassinated Eugene McCarthy, who was 7 points ahead of Nixon in the polls, would have been nominated by the Democratic Party as its Presidential candidate in 1968 and gone on to win the White House. Gene would have ended the Vietnam War promptly in 1969. Gene McCarthy was a good personal friend of Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir. He was a friend of Israel. Gene would probably have been re-elected in 1972. There probably would NOT have been an arab surprise attack on Israel on October 6th, 1973 with Gene McCarthy in the White House and the US NOT tied down in Indochina. In our view ARAFAT ordered the assassinations of BOTH BOBBY KENNEDY AND DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING. The cost to the African-American community of the death of the most Gandhian leader it ever had is incalculable in terms of wasted human lives. Dr. King was also a friend to the Jewish community. Imagine a world in which there never had been a split between the Jewish community and the African American community. Instead of Jesse Jackson assuming the mantle of the slain Dr. King, and going on to lead the charge against the Jewish community after Jimmy Carter fired Andy Young for shaking hands with an arafat observer at the UN, and going on to make his infamous Hymietown remark, Martin Luther King would have led the African-American community. ( Jackson allegedly got $5 million dollars for his OPERATION PUSH from Iraq and allegedly got another $5 million Dollars from Libya).. Who Shot Martin Luther King The federal government, and Tennessee authorities, aggressively pushed the lone-gunman theory-although this explanation was rejected out of hand by millions of Americans. At Rays sentencing, as the state was telling the jury what the evidence would have been at a trial, Ray interrupted the proceedings to say he did not agree with the statement of Ramsey Clark, U.S. attorney general, that there was no conspiracy. Three days later Ray tried to withdraw his plea of guilty, even though that would subject him to a possible death sentence. The court refused. From that day forward there has been a tug-of-war between conspiracy believers and lone-gunman advocates. In 1979 the House Select Committee on Assassinations issued a report saying there probably was a conspiracy. http://www.metroactive.com/papers/sonoma/08.07.97/mlkj-9732.html THE GROUP CALLING ITSELF A.N.S.W.E.R.

French Lawyer Says He Will Defend Saddam Saturday, March 27, 2004 PARIS - A French lawyer, known for defending terrorists and a Nazi leader, said Saturday he will defend Saddam Hussein Jacques Verges told France-Inter radio he had received a letter from Saddams family requesting him to defend the former Iraqi leader in court. The letter read: In my capacity as nephew of President Saddam Hussein, I commission you officially by this letter to assure the defense of my uncle, Verges said. He did not name the person who sent the letter. U.S. officials have said they will bring Saddam to trial for alleged crimes against Iraqi people. But the location of any trial and its format and date have not yet been decided. Saddam is being held by U.S. forces at an undisclosed location. Verges has defended Venezuelan terrorist Carlos the Jackal, whose real name is Ilich Ramirez. He gained international notoriety during the Cold War for staging a string of deadly bombings, assassinations and hostage seizures. The French lawyer also defended, Klaus Barbie, a Nazi Gestapo chief in France in World War II, who was convicted of crimes against humanity in Lyon, France.

The panel was clearly convened to put to rest the growing doubts caused by the exposures of Mark Lane, Harold Weisberg, other researchers and even in late 1966, LIFE magazine itself. All of the above talked about the evidence of conspiracy, and the implication is that the medical evidence would either show conspiracy, or else, signs of tampering. What brought it to a crux was Jim Garrisons all-out investigation of the assassination, which, in 1967, was making official story proponents very nervous. One of the key questions raised by the New Orleans DA was this: Why hadnt the Warren Commission members examined the autopsy photographs and X-rays Ramsey Clark also dutifully backed the official findings that Lee Harvey Oswald and Sirhan Sirhan each acted alone in the assassinations of the Kennedy brothers.*** Carlos Marcello biographer John Davis asserts that the kingpin continued to funnel money to (Ramsey) Clark(s father Tom Clark) when he, (Tom Clark), sat on the high court.*** http://www.holysmoke.org/wb/wb0093.htm RFK was killed on the first anniversary of the Six Day War. http://www.idf.il/english/history/sixday.stm FBI records indicate that when in 1961 Carlos Marcello had become one of Bobby Kennedys targets for deportation, the New Orleans don contacted Santo Trafficante.).

In a meeting with a representative of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Hussein said, Bush wants us to pay our condolences, but if I were to do that I would not be respecting my people. Bush is the president of a state that is launching a war on us ... in a mean, terroristic manner. And if I offered condolences to its president, this would be hypocrisy, and we are not hypocrites. Since offering condolences is a kind of courtesy between states, but we offered condolences to small organizations in America and to an American personality [Ramsey Clark] who came to extend condolences for Americas calamities against us.

General Would Aid Saddam Defense Fri Dec 19,10:26 PM ET By JENNIFER C. KERR, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark said Friday that he would be willing to provide legal counsel to Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) if the ousted Iraqi leader requested Clarks assistance. AP Photo I would seek to help him protect his rights if he needed my help and I felt that there was no one whos willing who could do it better, Clark said in an interview with The Associated Press. I would have no hesitation. Thats my work. Thats my chosen pursuit ?br> to protect rights. His rights need protecting. Clark also lashed out at the Bush administration for the militarys handling of the ex-Iraqi president since he was discovered last weekend hiding underground near his hometown of Tikrit. My two main concerns would be about the way hes being treated from the standpoint of human rights, and my belief that the humiliation that he has suffered causes hatred and will be harmful to the interests of the United States, Clark said. He specifically took issue with video images transmitted around the world showing a bearded and weary-looking Saddam being examined by a doctor just after his capture. While Clark said he would defend Saddam at trial, he expressed doubts that such a scenario would unfold. Its unlikely if its not an international court that a foreigner who didnt speak Arabic and wasnt trained in the Arabic legal traditions would be permitted to appear in an Iraqi court, Clark said. U.S. officials have gone along with the Iraqi plan that Saddams trial should be conducted by a special Iraqi tribunal that was set up just days before he was taken into custody. But there are still many questions that remain unresolved, including when a trial would take place, and what kind of charges he would face. The 76-year-old Clark, who was attorney general under President Lyndon Johnson, has met with Saddam on several occasions in the past decade. He most recently sat down with the former Iraqi leader in February, in the days leading up to the U.S. invasion. Clark described Saddam as dignified, reasonable and an interesting person. He is a human being, Clark said. Clark has assisted other despised leaders before. http://story.news./news tmplstory & u/ap/20031220/ap_on_re_mi_ea/saddam_lawyer_2 Averell Harriman actually gave Jackie Kennedy his house in Georgetown to move into after JFK was assassinated. Richard M. Nixon was in Dallas on that day, November 22nd, 1963, which probably explains why the JFK trip was scheduled then. Should something go wrong the real conspirators could blame Nixon, JFK's obvious enemy for the assassination. Had Nixon really had anything to do with It he would have been at the other end of the earth on that day.. Nixon, the 1960 failed Republican Presidential nominee went on to be re-nominated by the Republicans in 1968 and to be elected President that year. Had Nixon been blamed for the Kennedy assassination he would never have gotten the 1968 Republican Presidential nomination. The so-called " Watergate Scandal " saw the telephone number of former A.Harriman Press Secretary , E. Howard Hunt, at the White House, " discovered " in the address book of one of the alleged " Watergate burglars " who comprised a mixed bunch of " ex " - CIA, " ex " -FBI, professionals ,and others who had been involved in the Bay of Pigs fiasco, the invasion of Cuba, which had allegedly been managed at least in part by alleged Harriman former Press Secretary E. Howard. Hunt, and long time alleged Harriman friend Bissell.. What an interesting coincidence it was for this bunch to take along an address book on their " burglary " at the Watergate which " happened " to have E. Howard Hunt's address in it. Hunt is also alleged by some to have been one of the so-called " Three Tramps " in Dallas on November 22nd, 1963 http://www.konformist.com/jfkland/tramps.htm Someone who described himself as " just a patsy " , Lee Harvey Oswald, the presumed assassin, allegedly was provided with his job at the Texas School Book Depository through the efforts of an alleged former Nazi agent, alleged former CIA agent, named George De Morenschildt, http://jfkassassination.net/death2. http://www.ratical.org/ratville/JFK/ST/STchp20.html Two key elements, time and space must be considered in the JFK Assassination. JFK was allegedly shot from the Texas School Book Depository in Dallas where Oswald worked. Someone would have had to have a) placed Oswald in his job at the Texas School Book Depository and b) arranged the route of JFK's motorcade to pass the Texas School Book Depository to make the assassination work, particularly if Oswald was to become the " patsy " , or " fall-guy " for the assassination. Oswald worked at a top-secret U-2 spy plane base in Asia before he allegedly " defected " to the then Soviet Union. Some feel he was working for the CIA or others perhaps, and that his alleged " defection " to the USSR was part of a wider plot. Oswald allegedly was working for the CIA at that base and allegedly reporting ultimately to one Desmond " Dizzy Fits " Fitzgerald at the CIA according to a book titled: The Man Who Knew Too Much: Richard Case Nagell and the Assassination of JFK Trade Paperback, 824 Pages, Carroll and Graf Publishers, Incorporated, October 1993 ISBN:0786700297 whose author is Dick Russell. JFK certainly benefited from Oswald's alleged " defection " to Moscow. Oswald allegedly provided the Soviets with the information on the U-2 spy plane. With that information Moscow was allegedly able to shoot down the U-2 spy plane over the then Soviet Union. That torpedoed the planned summit between then US President Eisenhower and Soviet leader Nikita S.Krushchev With the summit shot down along with the U-2 the way was paved for JFK to defeat Nixon in 1960. Roger Hilsman. was described as a " friend of " (JFK) and (RFK) (Hilsman) " had been director of the Bureau of Intelligence and Research " . " Hilsman was in the little circle that had come to make up Harriman's Vietnam team. A graduate of West Point and a Yale Ph.D. " As Buddhist protests in SouthVietnam against the repressive Roman Catholic regime mounted it became increasingly clear to those Managing Vietnam policy in Washington that the Roman Catholic regime in South Vietnam could not Successfully prosecute the Vietnam War. It could not win the hearts and minds of the 90% of South Vietnam's people who were Buddhist. A famous cable from Harriman and Hilsman read in part: " Regardless of who is running the show, we should continue to seek the same objectives. These are 1-acceptable solutions to the Buddhist problem and 2- a more responsive and representative government capable of carrying on the war effectively. GVN (Government of Vietnam) must show own population and world that improvement in Buddhist position will be eventual outcome of evolving situation. If we impress this need on both civilians and military at all levels (of the) GVN, we may be able to achieve some progress not only on immediate Buddhist problem (with all implications this has for US and world opinion ) but also on longer range objective of broadening regime and limiting Diem's exercise of arbitrary power. As situation develops, we may deem it useful to throw our influence toward reducing or eliminating the power of the Nhus (sic). " Hilsman later " drafted and Harriman approved a reply to (US Ambassador to South Vietnam) Lodge's request for guidance. In the most blunt language the administration had ever used concerning the government of South Vietnam it all but sanctioned a coup against the Diem regime. " It stated in part: " US government cannot tolerate situation in which power lies in Nhu's hands-Diem must be given chance rid himself of Nhu and his coterie and replace him with best military and political personalities available. If in spite of all your efforts Diem remains obdurate and refuses, then we must face the possibility that Diem himself cannot be preserved. " This cable is described as: " THE MOST FAMOUS CABLE OF THE VIETNAM WAR " It also stated that Ambassador Lodge and his team : " should urgently examine all possible alternative leadership and make detailed plans as to how we might bring about Diem's replacement if this should become necessary. You will understand that we cannot from Washington give you detailed instructions as to how this operation should proceed, but you will also know we will back you to the hilt on actions you take to achieve our objectives. " Known as the Harriman-Hilsman memo, or cable, JFK himself ironically signed on to its premises in an interview with Walter Cronkite, JFK said that the Vietnam War was : " their war " , which could not be won unless the South Vietnamese government regained the support it had lost as a result of its treatment of the Buddhists , a goal that could be accomplished " with changes in policy and perhaps with personnel. " . Tragically JFK failed to realize that as the Roman Catholic President of the United States, he too was a liability to the successful prosecution of the Vietnam War as Buddhist resentment against Catholics was not limited to resentment against the brutal and repressive Roman Catholic Diem-Nhu regime of South Vietnam but extended also to the Roman Catholic President of the United States who had expanded the war from the 800 " advisors " in Vietnam during the Eisenhower-Nixon era, to some 40,000 troops, including Green Berets and Special Forces, under JFK. JFK had had close relations with the Roman Catholic regime in South Vietnam and had had the support of American Roman Catholic Cardinals in that effort. Three weeks to the day after the November 1st,1963 coup in South Vietnam which saw the end of the Diem and Nhu regime and of Diem and the Nhus, JFK himself was Assassinated in Dallas,Texas, on November 22nd, 1963. On that date, November 22nd, 1963 Harriman chaired " a meeting of oil company executives about the future of their contracts with the government of Argentina-Beforehand, he went to a Hilsman luncheon with a delegation of politicians from the Philippines. He was finishing his desert and talking with Senator Frank Church of Idaho about extremism in American politics when Church was called to the telephone. A minute later the senator rushed back into the room, his face ashen. The President had been shot, he said and was feared dead.

JFK, as a Roman Catholic, could not win the hearts and minds of the 90% of South Vietnamese who were Buddhists. To keep the war in Vietnam going JFK would have to be assassinated. Keeping the war in Vietnam going would make it less likely that America would be inclined to intervene to save Israel, either in 1967 when then tiny Israel, which had not yet liberated Judea and Samaria (the so-called " West Bank " ) or reunited Jersualaem, had to save itself from massing arab armies, through the pre-emptive strike of the Six Day War, or in 1973 when the arabs managed a Pearl Harbor style surprise attack on Israel on October 6th, 1973.

A September 2006 controversy about an ABC " docu-drama " centered around the alleged roles of Bill Clinton and others in his administration vis a vis Osama bin Laden. Bill Clinton turned the U.S. Air Force into Air bin Laden, to support Osama bin Laden's terrorists on the ground, who were allied with Al Queda type multinational terrorists linked historically to Iraq in the Balkan War of the 1990s Clinton waged against Serbian Christians, Jews,and other non-Moslems. Saddam Hussein, like the Mafia boss of all bosses he fancied himself to be, as he watched videos of his favorite movie, " The Godfather " , and its sequels, Saddam used " cut-outs " to separate himself from his international terrorism, so that he could maintain " plausible deniability " . During the evil war against Serbia of the 1990s the back-stabbing Saddam pretended to embrace the Serbian cause but secretly engaged in anti-Serbian terrorism in the Balkans. " during the night of July 18th -19th ,1998 a group of several hundred heavily armed foreign mercenaries mostly " mujahideens, " Islamic " holy warriors " ) frontally attacked from Albania the Yugoslav Army border guards near the Djeravici mountain. The attack was repulsed by the Serbian troops, and the foreign assailants suffered heavy casualties. Among the dead were six mercenaries from Yemen, five from Saudi Arabia, four from Macedonia. A short while later, Yugoslav authorities arrested Nuri Salip Muhamed, a Lieutenant Colonel in the Iraqi Army as he was trying to enter Yugoslavia illegally from Bulgaria. This Iraqi officer, who reportedly spoke perfect Serbian, was supposed to have commanded the July 18th-19th, 1998 terrorist attack from Albania. But lucky for him, he had not arrived there in time.

" A Polish friend well-schooled in the arcana of communism tells me that Teresa Heinz Kerry's father was the founder of the Mozambique Communist Party " Source: http://www.orli.us/blog/?cat=1 " She hasn't been back to Mozambique since April of 1974, when she was thirty-five, and married to John Heinz....The family was scheduled to return to the United States on April 25th, but the borders were closed and the airport shut down. That day, Salazar's heir, Marcelo Caetano, had been ousted in a bloodless military coup. Its leaders were a cadre of young Army officers, many of whom had fought in their country's African wars and returned home— like some of their American contemporaries in Vietnam—radicalized... When the news from Lisbon reached Lourenço Marques, the capital of Mozambique, stunned and ecstatic people took to the streets. Teresa Heinz and her father attended the first open meeting of frelimo (Frente da Libertação de Moçambique), which had been waging a guerrilla war of liberation for more than ten years, and they joined the vast throng of celebrants marching through the " cement town. " (The expression, which refers to the European enclaves in Mozambique's urban centers, alludes to their solidity rather than to their ugliness. Most Africans lived in wretched shanties on the outskirts, which were known as " cane towns. " ) The parade took her up and down familiar, still well-kept avenues lined with jacaranda trees dripping pale blossoms, past the Museum of Natural History, next door to which her grandmother had lived, and past the colonial villa on the cliffs overlooking the Indian Ocean where she and her siblings grew up.

Mozambique fell to the communists virtually overnight in 1975 because of the coup in Portugal. The newly installed FRELIMO government nationalized all the country's industries overnight. This caused an almost instant collapse of the economy as the Portuguese colonists fled. FRELIMO then gave succor to Robert Mugabe's ZANLA army. This proved to be decisive in causing the collapse of Rhodesia, which was renamed Zimbabwe. " ) " Mozambique gained its independence from Portugal in 1975. A Marxist- Leninist group, the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (Frelimo) assumed power...

We do not know if there is any truth to them at all, but allegations are beginning to resurface concerning the alleged connections, which may have begun in 1969, between Hillary Rodham,while she and her husband to be Bill Clinton were Yale students, and something callled THE RAINBOW COALITION, not the one associated with Jesse Jackson, but another one, which was composed of 3 allied groups: THE BLACK PANTHERS, a Puerto Rican group called THE YOUNG LORDS, and a bizarre Maoist " white " group called THE PATRIOTS. The so-called RAINBOW COALITION was allied with THE BLACK PANTHERS and THE YOUNG LORDS in 1969 when Hillary and Bill Clinton were Yale students. In particular the allegations center around the alleged connections between Hillary Rodham and Arthur Turco, and others. Turco was the leader of THE PATRIOTS. THE PATRIOTS members wore dungaree " uniforms " including dungaree pants and dungaree jackets and held Maoist style " self-criticism sessions " . THE PATRIOTS were allegedly heavily involved in drug use, which included " snorting " horse tranquilizer drugs, among other things, and allegedly were regular visitors to YALE. They also allegedly regularly read responsively from Lin Piao's radical book. ( " Encyclopedia of World Biography on Lin Piao Lin Piao (1907-1971) was a Chinese Communist military commander and political leader. His distinguished military career and loyalty to the principles of Mao Tse-tung were the basis for his rise to second position in the Chinese Communist leadership. He was involved in an unsuccessful coup d'etat in 1971. " ) Some alleged background on Turco may be found at: http://www.citypaper.com/news/story.asp?id=11450 which describes Turco as the " Panthers' New York lawyer,Arthur Turco. " The article states that : " Caplan says he believes that the Panthers' New York lawyer, Arthur Turco, was the ringleader in the commission of this crime. " He was apparently in the house when the torture and the murder took place and was part of the conspiracy to kill and remove the body, " Below is an example of a post we found describing some of the story. " Back in 1969 a group of Black Panthers decided that a fellow black named Alex Rackley needed to die. Rackley was a fellow Panther suspected of disloyalty. Rackley was first tied to a chair. Once safely immobilized his'friends'tortured him for hours by, among other things, pouring boiling water on him. When they got tired of torturing Rackley, Black Panther member Warren Kimbo took Mr. Rackley outside and put a bullet in his head. Rackley's body was later found floating in a river about 25 miles north of New Haven, Conn. Perhaps at this point you're curious as to what happened to these Black Panthers. In 1977, that's only eight years later, only one of the killers was still in jail. The shooter, Warren Kimbro, managed to get a scholarship to Harvard. He later became an assistant dean at Eastern Connecticut State College. Isn't that something? As a `60s radical you can pump a bullet into someone's head,and a few years later, in the same state, you can become an assistant college dean! Only in America! Erica Huggins was the lady who served the Panthers by boiling the water for Mr. Rackley's torture. Some years later Ms. Huggins was elected to a California School Board. How in the world do you think these killers got off so easy? Maybe it was in some part due to the efforts of two people who came to the defense of the Panthers. These two people actually went so far as to shut down Yale University with demonstrations in defense of the accused Black Panthers during their trial. One of these people was none other than Bill Lan Lee. Mr. Lee, or Mr. Lan Lee, as the case may be, isn't a college dean. He isn't a member of a California School Board. He is now head of the U.S. Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. O.K., so who was the other Panther defender? Is this other notable Panther defender now a school board member? Is this other Panther apologist now an assistant college dean? No, Neither! The other Panther defender was, like Lee, a radical law student at Yale University at the time. She is now known as The " smartest woman in the world. " She is none other than...Hillary Rodham Clinton. " We checked Hillary's official White House bio and found that: " In 1969, Hillary entered Yale Law School, where she served on the Board of Editors of Yale Law Review and Social Action...
