The Moussaoui Spin on the UAE Port Security Scandal
The growing scandal surrounding the UAE port security deal has a pretty interesting twist tied to 9/11, specifically how it may relate to the upcoming Moussaoui trial.
The indictment of Moussaoui quoted below lists numerous references to the UAE. How exactly the Bush administration will handle trying to prosecute the only person to plead guilty to crimes related to 9/11, and the UAE port security deal at the same time may get a bit tricky.
Here are the references in Moussaoui's indictment to the UAE:

Now how exactly do these two stories mesh? On one hand the Bush administration swears that putting the UAE in charge of port security is safe, and on the other it tries to prosecute Moussaoui using 20+ references of money being funnelled to him through UAE banks. The Bush administration is about to put another of its feet into its mouth by allowing the UAE to provide the United States with security even though it admits itself that they have been a primary source for the funnelling of money to accused 'terrorists'.
I am starting to take bets that this UAE story could be the final straw for those still supporting this administration. If the UAE gets these positions at these ports I will then start taking bets that we can expect a lot more money laundering tied to the U.S., and perhaps an increased heroin trade in the coming years as well.
thanks a bunch to heiner for this interesting tidbit

I know someone on my board who would say you stole his line, "The Final Straw".
I have a whole thread dedicated to all news related to this... in fact, I found out something interesting today about the UAE and Osama Bin Laden...
This Is Nuts
C'mon guys, we've argued
C'mon guys, we've argued that Bush & his cabal are behind 9/11. Now what I've seen inferred is that this Port buyout issue as a THREAT?!
Dubai is just one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates on the Arabian Peninsula.
Dubai Ports (DP World) is the company (backed by/linked to the Dubai government) is spending some US OilDollars to buy some assets to invest in (Why have US Dollars when you can have a US port business?).
The US ports are currently owned by the BRITISH company P&O. They have made an offer that their shareholders decided was 'too good to refuse'.
How can that be a threat, when we know that the Bushco engineer the 'threats' anyway??
If anything it shows how empty the US economy is if it's privatised ports cannot be retained 'in-house'.
Hey, before everybody jumps
Hey, before everybody jumps all over the UAE, remember that Muslims have a system of transferring money that is basically cells of rich guys who pass money one from the next, with no interest charged for the transaction. It has a special name although I can't remember it off the top of my head. Anyway, the real crime here is that Atta and the rest of these fools were double agents working for us and I'm willing to bet that all these transfers of money were just ways of keeping the transactions secret from their home offices. And considering that many of these 19 hijackers are still alive, I think it's kind of silly to try to link them to the government of UAE. Personally, I think this whole port situation is a red herring, a way for John Snow to make a few million bucks and a way for the real power-brokers to get the attention of Americans, and more importantly the American politicians, focused on something other than Dick Cheney's outing of Valerie Plame and the secret wiretapping scandal.
But of course, whether I'm right or wrong, the research must continue. At the very least, this public scrutiny may work in our favor by encouraging more people to investigate the secrets of the government.
P.S. Is Moussaoui still doing the bidding of the Feds? Why on Earth would he plead unless he had assurances that he would make it out alive? Unless of course MK ULTRA was real, and they can make their agents say and do almost anything.
No... it's not a threat.
No... it's not a threat. It's a slap in the face to the American people. The sheep think of it as a threat. Those of us in the 9/11 Truth Movement see it as BushCo doing what they always do. Business with those who helped with 9/11.
The repeated use of Sun
The repeated use of Sun Trust Bank made me think of where the 2nd richest man in the world was on 9/11.

the point of the post was the catch 22 that it looked like the bush administration was getting itself into.. or further showing that their 'war on terror' is complete molarky.. the contradictions just pile up, and i think this contradiction of letting the UAE manage our ports but attacking iraq for supposed terrorism is sort of a double standard..
its all about business, i think we can all realize that.

I have said this time and time again.
Bush and his administration dont give a fuck about America, security or moral values. They worship money. PERIOD. If bushes Grandma was still alive he would sell her to the Arabs once the price was right.
COME ON AMERICA, rise and do something to kick this fucker OUT!!

VISA money trail - Does Josh Floum, counsel and director know?
Wow, look at these tidbits:
62. On July 18, 2001, using his power of attorney, Al-Hawsawi picked up Fayez Ahmed's VISA and ATM cards in UAE.
63. Between July 18 and August 1, 2001, Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi caused Fayez Ahmed's VISA and ATM cards to be shipped from UAE to Fayez Ahmed in Florida. (The VISA card was then used for the first time on August 1, 2001, in Florida.) Jarrah (#93) Travels to Germany
76. On or about August 22, 2001, Fayez Ahmed (#175) used his VISA card in Florida to obtain approximately $4,900 cash, which had been deposited into his Standard Chartered Bank account in UAE the day before.
99. On September 11, 2001, in UAE, approximately $40,871 was prepaid to a VISA card connected to Al-Hawsawi's Standard Chartered Bank account. The September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks
There seems to be a definite connection through VISA Inc. here. Why hasn't VISA revealed where that $40K came from? One person who would probably have to respnd to this issue if confronted is Visa, Inc.'s chief counsel, Joshua Floum, who also sits VISA's board of directors.
Does anyone on 911blogger have a close personal relationship with Josh Floum?
If so, perhaps they could ask Mr. Floum what he knows about this; or indeed if he is in fact abetting the cover-up and thus the real terrorists of 9/11.
If no one on 911blogger has a close personal relationship with Mr Floum, this might be a mission for WeAreChange-SanFrancisco to consider.
