The Financial Times and the “Self-Confessed Mastermind of 9/11”
(Re: The face of 9/11 by Demetri Sevastopulo, published August 15 2008 in the Financial Times Arts & Weekend Magazine. I think we can pre-date Mr. Petras' observation about when the FT announced its position on 9/11 matters, with this article also printed in the Weekend Magazine on June 7, 2008: The truth is out there. Now, however, the FT has confirmed their position. -rep.)
The Financial Times and the “Self-Confessed Mastermind of 9/11”
By James Petras - Aug 26, 2008
In recent days there is mounting evidence of the advance of totalitarianism in the political and media mainstream. The entire Western world, led by the United States, has embraced a Georgian regime, which invaded South Ossetia totally demolishing its capital city of 50,000 residents, assassinated 1500 men, women and children and dozens of Russian peace keepers. The US has mobilized a naval and air armada off the Iranian coast, prepared to annihilate a country of 70 million people. The New York Times published an essay by a prominent Israeli historian, which advocates the nuclear incineration of Iran. All the major mass media have mounted a systematic propaganda campaign against China, supporting each and every terrorist and separatist group, and whipping up public opinion in favor of launching a New Cold War. There is little doubt that this new wave of imperial aggression and bellicose rhetoric is meant to deflect domestic discontent and distract public opinion from the deepening economic crises.
The Financial Times (FT), once the liberal, enlightened voice of the financial elite (in contrast to the aggressively neo-conservative Wall Street Journal) has yielded to the totalitarian-militarist temptation. The feature article of the weekend supplement of August 16/17, 2008 – “The Face of 9/11” – embraces the forced confession of a 9/11 suspect elicited through 5 years of hideous torture in the confines of secret prisons. To make their case, the FT published a half-page blow-up photo first circulated by former CIA director George Tenet, which presents a bound, disheveled, dazed, hairy ape-like prisoner. The text of the writer, one Demetri Sevastopulo, admits as much: The FT owns up to being a propaganda vehicle for a CIA program to discredit the suspect while he stands trial based on confessions obtained through torture.

It just sounds sick
that the entire terrorist fiasco is now going to be based upon the confessions of this man, Khaled, after 5 years of torture?
Do not be surprised to ever learn that members of the Special Operations Group had infiltrated the Georgian area, and planted operatives within groups at Ossetia, too. Just another episode of The Unit.
Shameful.
Simply, shameful.
false-flag thwarted?
(not sure of the credibility of this TBR News report)
The captured Israeli’s papers, all written in Hebrew, when translated by the Russian GRU turned out to be somewhat different in nature. While one flight was indeed intended to attack various Iranian oil facilities, the second flight was planned to drop chemical warfare bombs on Tehran. These bombs, which were designed to blow open at a set altitude, were filled with weapons-grade anthrax and this anthrax, kept in a specially sealed box at the U.S. diplomatic offices in Tiblisi, came from Ft. Detrick in Maryland and their shipment had the approval of the President himself. Another twist to the bizarre plot was that the aircraft, made in the United States, were to have their Israeli marking masked with American markings and that these markings were to be applied in a water-based paint that could easily be hosed off when this flight returned to Georgia.
When the Russians learned of this, they immediately notified their Embassy in Tehran and subjected their Yemeni Israeli to what they called “intensive interrogation,” not unlike the CIA’s Bush-mandated torture. In this case, the “subject expired” but not before revealing more of the joint Israeli-US activity.
In an abstract sense, the Russian counter attack on Georgia indirectly saved the lives of many thousands of Iranians.
The Americans, apparently, were totally unaware of the Israeli false flag portion of the operation.

If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention.
Something has got to give or we are stuffed!
WE MUST somehow work harder and smarter or our doom is sealed!
Sorry to be negative but the closer we get the harder the job looks, thank god more and more are waking up!
Disturbing!

9/11 24/7 UNTIL JUSTICE!!
