September 11 and the Neocons

SEPTEMBER 11 AND THE NEOCONS

No crime as horrific as the attacks of September 11 can be
covered up indefinitely. There will be leaks, whistleblowers,
and real investigations, albeit investigations not sanctioned
by the US government. One very promising sign is that 25
prominent US military, intelligence and law enforcement
officials have recently condemned the coverup in a letter to
the US congress, and have stated unequivocably that certain
US government officials must be held accountable not only for
incompetence, but for intentional and treasonous complicity:

*
"we are referring not to quasi-innocent mistakes caused by
'lack of imagination' or brought about by ordinary 'human
error'. Rather, we refer to intentional actions or inaction by
individuals responsible for our national security, actions or
inaction dictated by motives other than the security of the
people of the United States."

What do these insiders know that we do not? The best clues at
this point come from the statements of one of the signatories
of the letter, Sibel Edmonds. She has stated:

*
"You get to a point ... where you have money laundering
activities, drug related activities, and terrorist support
activities converging ... We are not talking about only
governmental levels ... I keep underlining semi-legit
organizations and following the money.

"If they were to do real investigations we would see several
significant high level criminal prosecutions in this country.
And that is something that they are not going to let out. And,
believe me; they will do everything to cover this up."

Sentinel, May 07, 2004
*

So what are these "semi-legit organizations" that she refers
to, and how do they interface with the "governmental levels"?
Sibel Edmonds can only speak in generalities, because Attorney
General John Ashcroft first imposed a series of sweeping and
unprecedented gag orders on her, and then took the further
precaution of retroactively classifying all of her previous
statements including all interviews she has given and all of
her testimony before Congressional committees.

Luckily, however, the US Airforce Inspector General slipped up
and named one of the apparently suspected "semi-legit"
organizations in an unclassified letter to Mrs. Edmonds. The
named organization is the American Turkish Council (ATC).

Perle together with Douglas Feith founded another shady non-
governmental organization called International Advisors Inc.
that is also deeply involved in activities of the governments
of Turkey and the United States. These activities have been
extraordinarily lucrative for Perle and Feith, leading to
strenuous allegations of conflict of interest on the part of
these officials. The allegations are laid out in joint letters
to President George W. Bush, and DoD General Counsel William J.
Haynes, cosigned by several Armenian, Greek, and Kurdish
organizations. In addition to Wolfowitz, Perle, and Feith,
Under Secretary of State Marc Grossman is also named.

THE BALKANS CONNECTION

Neocons and Neolibs view Turkey as central to their
geopolitical agenda. According to rightwing journalists Jacob
Heilbrunn and Michael Lind, who enjoyed strong connections
inside the Clinton administration, the real motivation for the
NATO campaigns in the Balkans in the 1990's had little to do
with concerns about ethnic cleansing. In an article titled
"The Third American Empire", they write:

*
"President Clinton is depicting his decision to send 20,000
troops into Bosnia as a natural outgrowth of America's European
alliance. But instead of seeing Bosnia as the eastern frontier
of NATO, we should view the Balkans as the the western frontier
of America's rapidly expanding sphere of influence in the
Middle East ... The regions once ruled by the Ottoman Turks
show signs of becoming the heart of a third American empire ...
The main purpose of NATO countries, for the foreseeable future,
will be to serve as staging areas for American wars in the
Balkans, the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf."

The Third American Empire, by Jacob Heilbrunn and Michael Lind,
New York Times, January 2, 1996
*

There are striking connections between the campaigns in
former Yugoslavia and the events of September 11. These
connections involve the Pentagon very directly, but also
involve several non-governmental "semi-legit" organizations
as described by Sibel Edmonds, as well as terrorists,
drug traffickers, and money launderers.

The Afghan "Jihad" run by the CIA gave bin Laden his start,
but the relationship did not end when the Soviets withdrew
from Afghanistan. During the 1990s The Clinton administration
authorized the Pentagon to import Afghan Jihadists into Bosnia
and to train and deploy them to fight against the Serbs in
support of the NATO campaign.

*
"By 1993, there was a vast amount of weapons- smuggling
through Croatia to the Muslims, organised by 'clandestine
agencies' of the USA, Turkey and Iran, in association with a
range of Islamic groups that included Afghan mujahedin and the
pro-Iranian Hezbollah. Arms bought by Iran and Turkey with the
financial backing of Saudi Arabia were airlifted from the
Middle East to Bosnia — airlifts with which ... the USA was
'very closely involved'.

"The Pentagon's secret alliance with Islamic elements allowed
mujahedin fighters to be 'flown in' ... By the end of the 1990s
State Department officials were increasingly worried about the
consequences of this pact ... US officials claimed that one of
bin Laden's top lieutenants had sent operatives to Bosnia, and
that during the 1990s Bosnia had served as a 'staging area and
safe haven' for al-Qa'eda and others."

According to investigative journalist Wayne Madsen, a former
Naval Officer who has worked with NSA, the Pentagon program
was assisted enormously by an organization called the Bosnia
Defense Fund, again a non-governmental organization created
by neocon operatives:

*
Via something called the Bosnia Defense Fund, these countries

deposited millions of dollars into U.S. coffers to buy weapons
for the Bosnians ... According to Washington K Street sources,
the law firm that established the Bosnia Defense Fund was none
other than Feith and Zell, the firm of current Pentagon
official and leading neo-con Douglas Feith. Feith's operation
at Feith and Zell was assisted by his one-time boss and current
member of Rumsfeld's Defense Policy Board, Richard Perle. Both
Feith and Perle advised the Bosnian delegation during the 1995
Dayton Peace talks.

Yet another quasi-non-governmental organization (QUANGO), to
use the British term, is Military Professional Resources Inc.
MPRI is a very high powered private military advisory firm that
employs a great many generals and admirals and other luminaries
selected from the US military and intelligence communities.
They were very active in the conflicts in Croatia, Kosovo and
Bosnia. The tremendous profits available to MPRI and other
privately run military organizations are the subject of an
article by UPI's Business Correspondent, Sam Vaknin:

*
Big money is involved. The Los Angeles Times quoted, in its
April 14 issue, Equitable Services, a security industry
analyst. In 1997, it predicted the international security
market would mushroom from $56 billion in 1990 to $220 billion
in 2010. This was long before the boost given to the sector by
Sept. 11.

So let's see what we have here. We have a non-governmental
military company liasing with terrorists associated with bin
Laden on behalf of the Pentagon. Neoconservatives play key
roles. Everyone stood to gain tremendous financial and
political windfalls as a result of the terrorist attacks of
September 11. Does this sound like the world of "semi-legit"
organizations involved in terrorism and international affairs
that Sibel Edmonds claims is implicated in September 11?

Oh yes - and drugs and money laundering are indeed a big part
of all this. The Kosovo Liberation Army was one of our key
allies in the Balkan conflicts.

*
"The U.S. State Department listed the KLA as a terrorist
organization, indicating that it was financing its operations
with money from the international heroin trade and loans from
Islamic countries and individuals, among them allegedly Usama
bin Laden ... Another link to bin Laden is the fact that the
brother of a leader in an Egyptian Jihad organization and
also a military commander of Usama bin Laden, was leading an
elite KLA unit during the Kosovo conflict. (US Congress,
Testimony of Ralf Mutschke of Interpol's Criminal
Intelligence Division, to the House Judicial Committee,
13 December 2000) ...

"The KLA raise part of their funds from the sale of narcotics.
Albania and Kosovo lie at the heart of the 'Balkan Route'
that links the 'Golden Crescent' of Afghanistan and Pakistan
to the drug markets of Europe. This route is worth an estimated
$400 billion a year and handles 80 percent of heroin destined
for Europe. (House Judiciary Committee, 13 December 2000)"

Further foreshadowing the events of September 11, the Muslim
extremists imported by the Pentagon into Bosnia committed
atrocities against their own Muslim populations, believing
(correctly) that the atrocities would be attributed to the
Serbs and would help precipitate NATO intervention on the side
of the Muslims. At least three major atrocities formerly
attributed to the Serbs are now believed to have been the work
of our Muslim allies - i.e. "false flag" attacks, self-
inflicted for political purposes.

Well, anway ... for what it's worth this is part of what I'm
currently looking at, and this is where I see the September 11
investigations heading. I wish I could tie it all up in a neat
package. My hat is off to all the investigators doing the real
digging and all the insiders doing the leaking at great risk to
themselves. May the leaks become a flood.

Tim Howells

Doing some A/V work for Global Crossing a few years ago made me realize that strange things were happening.The so called debunkers are paid well as the people who question are called insane and put out of work if not dealt with a heavier hand.
Why more people don't come foward who work in these shady operations is because they know what can happen to them.

my concerns about the September 11th investigation along with congratulating him on his run for Governor.

someone from his staff Peter Drago sent me a letter saying:


The attorney General has asked me to thank you for you email making us aware of your concern about the September 11the investigation.

your correspondence has been forwarded to the appropriate members of our staff. you can be assured we will keep your comments in mind during any discussions we may have on the issue.

that was that. pretty um form letter like. but not not sure. dont know what if anything their office is doing. but its not going to happen overnight i guess.

The Serbs represented a strong pro-socialist and pro-Russian block in a strategic location. There are also drug trade ramifications to the breakup. The country is located along narcotics smuggling routes. The Balkan strategy was part of long term mobilization of Islamic militancy against Russian interests which is still active across Asia and inside Russia.

911 was primarily targeted against the American public to shore up a regime that took power in an electoral coup. The regime had no legitimacy and any trained observer knows it. This is an old Machiavellian trick, used by the Nazis before us, to cement their rule by the fabrication of a security crisis in order to create a police state SUPPORTED BY A LARGE NUMBER OF THE MASSES WHO ARE MOVED BY MISDIRECTED PATRIOTISM AND XENOPHOBIA.

The states that participated in this coup plot were Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Israel. Each of these nations believed that 911 would advance their national interests. Turkey had very little to do with it. I would identify certain investment banks, NGOs, and corporations are participants in the drive to world conquest. While the long list of _____________ American societies are always fronts used to manipulate the internal affairs and interests of foreign nations and riddled with schemes and intelligence proxies if not outright agents, this is not the main thrust of the 911 plot.

"Inside Job: Unmasking the 9/11 Conspiracies," by Jim Marrs.

Excellent book.

The word is getting out. And all the security in the world surrounding the inauguration can't stop it. In fact, that's precisely why so much security is needed.

There's even getting to be a shortage of lower forms of rats to replace those leaving the sinking ship.
