FlashBack: Sibel Edmonds Issues Public Letter to 9/11 Commission Head Thomas Kean

I just noticed that Sibel Edmonds has posted a letter she recently sent to Thomas Kean of the 9/11 Commission. You may recall that Sibel Edmonds was interviewed by the commission for several hours, but her testimony was nowhere to be found in the final report (that seems to be pretty standard for their report actually).

Unfortunately, I find your report seriously flawed in its failure to address serious intelligence issues that I am aware of, which have been confirmed, and which as a witness to the commission, I made you aware of. Thus, I must assume that other serious issues that I am not aware of were in the same manner omitted from your report. These omissions cast doubt on the validity of your report and therefore on its conclusions and recommendations. Considering what is at stake, our national security, we are entitled to demand answers to unanswered questions, and to ask for clarification of issues that were ignored and/or omitted from the report. I, Sibel Edmonds, a concerned American Citizen, a former FBI translator, a whistleblower, a witness for a United States Congressional investigation, a witness and a plaintiff for the Department of Justice Inspector General investigation, and a witness for your own 9/11 Commission investigation, request your answers to, and your public acknowledgement of, the following questions and issues:

BlogCritics.org Post Story on 9/11, Reichstag Similarities

Just noticed that blogcritics.org has posted a story entitled The Reichstag Fire, 9/11, and Anthrax on their front page. Be sure to check it out, thank them for spreading the word, and add some good comments.

The Reichstag Fire, 9/11, and Anthrax

9/11 was an extremely pivotal event in the establishment of a Neoconservative America. It started one morning when four (4) planes were hijacked..... And from all accounts, it was an open and shut case. Although there was no 'half-naked person cowering behind the wreckage,' like the Reichstag's Van der Lubbe, there was, within a few days following the hijackings, amazingly detailed dossiers on each of the hijackers. Luckily, each of the hijackers left copies of the Koran, box cutters, and aircraft piloting manuals in the trunk of their rental cars parked at the airport. But even more amazing, on September 12, Senator Orrin Hatch said "the US was monitoring bin Laden supporters and overheard them discussing the attack." (Somehow, this little tidbit has always been lost in the shuffle. I wonder 'why'?).

Upcoming NIST Public Comments Deadline

I noticed that the owner of 911research.wtc7.net posted a comment about the deadline for submitting comments on the NIST report. The deadline of August 5th is rapidly approaching so if you have anything to submit get to it!

Also, it may be worth going through 911research.wtc7.net if you haven't recently. I have noticed their version number has been updated several times over the last week, so I am assuming they have updated some of their stuff.

Bush should be impeached

Bush should be impeached - Herald Bulletin

A few days before 9/11, Bush received an urgent memo from George Tenet. It stated that there was an imminent danger of a terrorist attack in the U.S. by hijacking airplanes. Bush said, since it did not give a specific day, time or location, there was nothing he could do. So, he took a vacation. You notice he was out of Washington on 9/11. Than, after 9/11, he did not want an investigation of the fact. I wonder why? Then, after the 9/11 Commission whitewashed him, he was all

Plans for recording the video of his speech fell through. I tried recording it myself, but the reception from my tv tuner card was too horrible to share. In any event, the audio download should be good enough.

Here was the description for this event:

The War on Truth: 9/11, Disinformation, and the Anatomy of Terrorism
Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed

Description: Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed outlines the relationship between the West and radical Muslim groups like the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, the Armed Islamic Group (GIA) in Algeria, and the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) in Serbia. Mr. Ahmed says that these groups, parts of which are now affiliated with Al Qaeda, were used by the United States and Britain to further Western political and economic goals. He argues that a more complete investigation of this relationship is necessary to understand what happened on 9/11. Mr. Ahmed also talks about the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the 1996 British attempt to assassinate Libya's Muammar Gaddafi in this light. This talk, held at American University in Washington, DC, was organized by the DC Emergency Truth Convergence (www.truthemergency.us). Includes Q&A.

Bush's Brother Marvin and his 9/11 Connections

The Bush Who Seems to be in All the Right Places - Marvelous Marvin

I have to marvel at how the corporate media, and the various government and quasi-government bodies that investigated or are investigating 9-11, have ignored curious things involving the Bush family.

The one that has me most stunned right now is the information dug up and actually published (in the Prince George's Journal of Prince George, MD) way back on Feb. 4, 2003, reporting that George Bush's obscure youngest brother Marvin was on the board of directors of a company called Securacom (now changed to Stratesec) that was responsible for providing "electronic security" to the World Trade Center right up to 9/11/2001.

9/11 in Historical Perspective: Flawed Assumptions by Peter Dale Scott

9/11 in Historical Perspective: Flawed Assumptions

Deep Politics: Drugs, Oil, Covert Operations and Terrorism, A briefing for Congressional staff
by Peter Dale Scott

The American people have been seriously misled about the origins of the al Qaeda movement blamed for the 9/11 attacks, just as they have been seriously misled about the reasons for America’s invasion of Iraq.

The truth is that for at least two decades the United States has engaged in energetic covert programs to secure U.S. control over the Persian Gulf, and also to open up Central Asia for development by U.S. oil companies. Americans were eager to gain access to the petroleum reserves of the Caspian Basin, which at that time were still estimated to be “the largest known reserves of unexploited fuel in the planet.”[1]
