CONFRONTING THE EVIDENCE -- A CALL TO REOPEN THE 9-11 INVESTIGATION -- TRANSCRIPT AND SCREENCAP GALLERY |
|
In June 2002, Michael Maltbie Was Promoted to Field Supervisor in the FBI's Cleveland Office In December 2002, Marion Bowman Received the "Presidential Rank of Meritorious Service" and a Cash Bonus of 20% of His Salary. Late in 2002, David Frasca Was Promoted to the FBI's Third Ranking Position in Charge of Domestic Terrorism
In January of 2001, Chicago Field Agent Robert Wright saw his three-year investigation of a terrorist cell abruptly halted. Three months later, he wrote a stinging memo charging that the FBI was not interested in thwarting a terrorist attack, but instead was merely "gathering intelligence so they would know who to arrest when a terrorist attack occurred." After 9/11, badly shaken, Wright wrote a 500-page book detailing his experience. But to this day, the FBI has blocked him from publishing it in full. Was Wright's terminated investigation related to the 199I order of January, 2001?
Department of Justice Gags FBI Translator
Working in the translation office at the FBI after 9/11, Sibel Edmonds discovered evidence of rampant internal corruption and criminal conspiracy to cover up advance information about 9/11. Placed under a gag order by the Justice Department, Edmonds has been denied the opportunity to tell her story in full but she has courageously found ways to get word of her ordeal out to the public. She has joined with the 911 Truth Movement and has not wavered in her claims.
"To become an American citizen, I took the Citizenship oath. In taking this oath, I pledged that I would support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Therefore, not only do I have the right to challenge John Ashcroft, anti-constitutional and un-American actions, as an American citizen I am required to do so. So are you."
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President (1858-1919)
Tom Kiely -- NYC: The set of documents known as the Northwoods documents or the Northwoods agreement, or something to that effect, you featured them in your last book. Since we're talking a pretext for war, that certainly was a pretext for war in the early 60's, can we speak about that for a moment?
James Bamford, Author of "A Pretext for War" and "Body of Secrets" -- Washington, D.C.: The idea was to create a pretext to show that there was an attack by Cuba on the United States, and the idea was to have U.S. personnel from the CIA and other places secretly create terrorism in the United States. The documents actually said people would be shot on American streets, bombs would be blown up, and again, all of the evidence would be laid to point the finger at Castro. One other idea was they were going to, they had a very complex plan where they were going to take an aircraft and load it with CIA people who looked like college students, fly it over, have it take off from an airport in Miami with a lot of publicity, and then it would quickly, after it got into the air, land at a secret CIA base. At that same time, an identical plane would take off from that CIA base, except this plane would be empty. And it would be remotely piloted from the ground. It was a drone plane that would be very similar to the plane that had just taken off. And once the plane was over Cuba, there was going to be a tape recorder that would have played a distress call into a microphone saying, "Help, we're being shot at," and a few minutes later, once the plane was over Carribean Sea for pass over Cuba, somebody would have pressed the button on the ground, blowing up the plane, and they would have blamed Cuba for killing a planeload of American college students. At another point, they had this idea where they were going to, actually John Glenn was going to go into his first space mission around the same time. And part of the plan was that if Glenn's rocket accidentally blew up on liftoff, they were going to plant evidence making it look like it was Cuban sabotage that blew it up. These were all outrageous plans. So they made their way all the way up to Secretary of Defense McNamara. Actually, the plans were all signed by all of the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and then they went up to McNamara, and McNamara rejected the plan. And that was the end of it. So, it never got put into effect, but the fact that you can get all of the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the senior military officials in the U.S. government, and that outrageous, is extraordinary to me.
Barrie Zwicker: Fast forward again to August 2nd, 1990. Iraq attacks Kuwait claiming the Kuwaitis are slant drilling into Iraq's oil fields. U.S. President George Herbert Walker Bush pushes for a land war against Iraq but polls show the U.S. public is split 50-50 on that idea. Then comes this eyewitness testimony before a Congressional Committee from a 15-year old Kuwaiti girl. The claim is she cannot be identified for fear of reprisals. "While I was there, I saw Iraqi soldiers come into the hospital with guns. They took the babies out of the incubators, took the incubators and left the children to die on the cold floor." [AB-1] The U.S. public is outraged. The result? Support for a land war zooms. It's a turning point. Desert Storm is launched. 135,000 Iraqis are killed. An estimated 1 Million Iraqis, many of them children and old people, then die as a result of ten years of sanctions. One small problem: There never were any incubator baby deaths, not one. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's investigative flagship program "The Fifth Estate," reveals the girl to be the Kuwaiti Ambassador's daughter, given her lines and coached in acting by the giant American PR firm Hill & Knowlton. It's one phase in a $10 million joint U.S.-Kuwaiti campaign of deception. _______________ American-Buddha Librarian's Comments: [AB-1]
