(At TomT's request, kicking this to the front page. As Mike Malloy would say, "The Bush Crime Family" has a track record of swindling the taxpayer for billions. George Herbert Walker Bush was a player in the Savings and Loans scandal of the 80s and 90s. What's new in Paulson's bailout is the brazen public theft of your taxpayer dollars, and the sheer scale of the theft. -rep.)

Description: Former reporter for the "Houston Chronicle," Pete Brewton tells of one of the most momentous stories of the past 50 years and how it has been suppressed by the establishment media and the Congress. Pete's book "The Mafia, CIA and George Bush," shows the incredible complexity of the relationships in the operation of the destruction of hundreds of Savings and Loans at the hands of the CIA and the Mafia, stealing many billions of dollars in the process, and leaving the taxpayers to bailout the banks. Big names at the state and national levels of power are involved, including Lloyd Bentsen, the Bush family, and power brokers in Houston. People such as Kenneth Keating and Don Dixon, who are mentioned prominently in the press in connection with the S & L debacle, were merely front men or "cutouts" for the main movers. Keating and his ilk only took millions; the CIA and the Mafia looted billions.

Damn! This guy nails it. Mr. Paulson is exposed here very concisely. This is a little off topic for 911blogger.com... but then again, an epic economic swindle seems to have been part of the plan the whole time, doesn't it?

About half of this week's new entries concern United Airlines Flight 93. The airline's operations centre sent a message to the plane's co-pilot some minutes before the hijacking, but received no reply; it also notified flights of a crash at the WTC around 9:03 but did not send a warning about possible hijackings at this time. The airline's dispatchers were asked to warn flights at 9:21, the same time Flight 93 sent a routine message to one of the dispatchers. A couple of minutes later, it checked in with Cleveland air traffic control; the pilots then sent their last last message at 9:27.
