What does Osama bin Laden know that makes him more
valuable dead than alive? In the world of CIA
operations, you don't generally double cross one
of your own agents and set them up for a patsy to
some crime unless you insure they are NOT captured
alive. It might prove embarrassing if they were
given the opportunity to tell their side. [Indeed!]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Foreign Press Reveals Collin Powel Negotiated Afghanistan War Months Before
Suicide Air Attacks: Motive is Oil Profits for Multinational War Partners

The BBC and an Indian news agency in seperate stories, one months before
and one shortly after the suicide air attack on America, have presented the
most horrendous picture to date regarding the true nature of the terror in
NYC and elsewhere:

Prior knowledge. Links to these stories are contained herein.

Those backing President Bush's request for a coalition had better make
certain they are getting their fair share of the spoils of war, a war
arranged months before the suicide air attacks against the US. A pact for
war against the Taliban was made between the United States, CIS (Russia),
Pakistan, and India to facilitate a Middle-East to S.E. Asia Oil Pipeline,
which cannot take place with growing political and religious upheaval in
the region at the hands of the Taliban. Iran is thought to be a covert
member to the pact. The combat was initially slated for mid October, which
would seem to account for warnings that preparing for war will take time.

The problem is that the ONLY logical pipeline route runs for nearly a
thousand miles along the Afghanistan border with Iran and Pakistan,
(largely so close as to be visible from the border. This route would seem
to provide the US with the best incentive to date to cooperate with Iran
by, in essence, competing with a proposed Chinese backed oil pipeline
project serving the same oil fields in northern Iran and points south,
preventing China from obtaining a defacto monopoly holder on oil supplies
for SE Asia. The Chinese began negotiating that project in 1997, causing a
great deal of consternation for the Clinton administration and major US oil
companies who stood to gain little in the project.

However, the Taliban are fomenting both religious and political instability
in the region between Iranian and Pakistani Shiites and Taliban Sunni
Islamic sects, with notable success. This unrest makes impractical the
financial investment and international cooperation required to construct
the pipeline.

The solution was apparantly to be death warrants for both the Taliban
leader Mullah Mohammad Omar, and capitalistic terrorist Osama bin Laden,
who had apparantly grown too profitable and too strong for his former CIA
masters and American business partners to control. Destruction of the
Taliban was imperative, but political needs would not permit a simple
solution.

For Pakistan and India, long bitter rivals, to partner would require only
sufficient profits to make peace between them more palatable. However,
Pakistan required a significant motive beyond profits to risk internal
conflict due to its nation's divided religious and political landscape, all
intertwined with allegiances to the Taliban. There needed to be an
extremely irresistible reason for the nation's leadership to back/support
military action against what their own citizens considered a virtual
spiritual ally.

In like manner, Iran required an irresistible reason to publicly support
with vocal blessings American interests in any such action, and at the same
time, needed a way to salve bitter wounds between the two countries which
would allow future joint financial ventures.

In similar manner, the United States needed a very powerful and
irresistible reason to mobilize America into supporting such a war, a war
which would be extremely difficult to prosecute, as the Soviet Union could
testify of first hand, having found the Soviet-Afghanistan war to be their
ëVietnam.í

The logical solution which would indeed provide irresistible reasons for
all concerned, would now seem to be the horrific terror campaign against
the NYC and Washington DC by former CIA strong man, Osama bin Laden, who
perhaps is still on the payroll after all. The question is, if the war was
being secretely planned by the administration... a war which could not be
sold to Americans without such a catastrophic event... then who really
planned the 911 event?

The attack comes in the wake of revelations by author James Bamford in his
book Body of Evidence of a secret plan for US military intelligence
operatives to commit acts of terrorism against American targets... blow up
buildings, shoot down civilian airliners, blow up American war ships, and
assassinate American citizens... for political gain. Operation Northwoods
was signed off by all five Joint Chiefs of Staff under the Kennedy
administration as a way to foment public support for a war against Cuba,
who would be blamed for the terrorist acts. Rejected sternly by President
Kennedy, which may have contributed to reasons behind his assassination,
this Reichtag fire approach to political gain may have been the model for
September 11, shifting the blame this time to the Taliban homeland. What
would make a more irresistible excuse for war?

In light of these revelations, American media needs to decide if it will
continue to ignore truth and the principles of journalism for its preferred
role as Fourth Estate PR spokesperson of government. Will they tell America
these facts or hide what the rest of the world already knows through news
agencies which have no such loyalties?

Will American politicians find themselves being asked by their constituents
if they knew in advance of this death pact, and have the blood of innocents
on their hands as coconspirators, or will they demand a full accounting of
the facts before signing off on the blood lust boiling over as result of
this war plot?

For more information, please review the following news sources:

The first is a BBC story of a former Pakistani diplomat coming forward to
tell of his country's knowledge of the planned war, concerned perhaps that
the air attacks were not as advertised. Find it at this Link

The above article confirms the second, which was written by an Indian news
agency months before the attack and is much more detailed.

H. Michael Sweeney is a published author in the area of personal privacy
and safety, and an expert on disinformation and an investigative writer
specializing in crimes of the intelligence community. Mr. Sweeney is one of
many persons seeking to educate America of the existence of these facts.

please" newsletter, please visit his Web site.

'America will undoubtedly have its unstoppable war thanks to the Fourth
Estate, but at what price?' asks Mr. Sweeney. 'Only those powerful men who
know the truth will profit, and every American will have paid for it with
their souls, others with their blood." He adds that "It is extremely ironic
that this plan comes so close on the heels of the release of the James Bond
film, The World is Not Enough, which parallels many of the key elements of
the underlying story."

Always Follow the Money -NO MATTER WHERE IT LEADS

In the aftermath of the horror of what many are simply calling 911 we find
government investigators following the money. Now that strong evidence
exists that the true reason for the war is oil, and in the certain
knowledge such a war could not be sold the American people without some
catastrophic catalyst event, perhaps it is wise to ask if they are
following ALL the money.

Indeed, proof of prior knowledge... especially the actual plotting to
create the so-called war on terrorism which we are now offered as our only
savior... this demands we ask. But both media and government would seem
inept at the task, known to have short memories - perhaps because of who
the President of the United States is at this time. I do not have a short
memory in such things. I seem to recall there was once another President
Bush. Iíd like to compare the two histories with respect to the money.

Media has made no secret of the fact that G.W. Bush, like his father, was
involved heavily in the Oil industry. Less vocal, perhaps, that the
'family-owned' oil firms which often seemed intertwined heavily in CIA
interests, a picture perhaps first presented in Mark Lane's remarkable
book, Plausible Denial, which links former President George H.W. Bush to
the Bay of Pigs operation and through it, to the subsequent assassination
of President J.F.K. by CIA (see CIA sworn courtroom) Ironic to me, BTW, is
that a certain recent comedic film about the BOP invasion featured JAKE and
Bush (one in the same). Film scripts often have notes penned in the
margins, and there is often more than one copy made. These make for very
interesting reading, and often, protect their holder.

And barely a mention has been given to the fact that Dick Cheney, who has
enjoyed a role in both Bush administrations, also has an oil industry
background as head of Halliburton (a huge oil industry service company), or
that there are also ties between Cheney and the Bush family to the drug
business. This will lead us to even more cozy ties to vast media power and,
through these, more ties to CIA. So when we follow the money, we might want
to follow all of these trails.

Bush Gets bin Laden Funds

The Houston Chronicle ran a series of articles starting in June 4, 1992
which attempted to follow the Bush oil investment trail, only to discover
what are now seen as financial ties to capitalistic terrorist, Osama bin
Laden. According to the Chronicle, entrepreneur James R. Bath guided money
to Bush oil firms from Saudi investors in hopes of influencing U.S. policy
under President Reagan and Vice President Bush.

The Bush family, of course, claims no knowledge of where Bath got his
money, assuming it his own. Personally, I find this incredulous given the
many ties to CIA any examination will reveal, in light of the expertise the
elder Bush has in setting up and funding CIA proprietaries. So, of course,
we must presume there was no foreknowledge to the significance of this
investment relative to our war on terrorism. At least we are told we must.
But we might be smarter to consider the entire collective of facts which
strongly suggest other than claimed by the Bush family. Here are a few
excerpted quotes (italics added.)

...documents indicate that the Saudis were using Bath and their huge
financial resources to influence U.S. policy. Such representation by Bath
would require that he be registered as a foreign agent with the U.S.
Department of Justice (he was not so registered.)

...An Annapolis graduate and former Navy fighter pilot, (Bill) White, 46,
claims that Bath and the judicial system, under the veil of national
security (where did that come from in a simple oil company start up? it
could only have been imposed by CIA to protect illegal proprietary funding
and/or operational activities), have blackballed him professionally and
financially because he has refused to keep quiet about what he regards as a
conspiracy to secretly funnel Saudi dollars to the United States.
(Investment dollars - profit dollars would soon enough flow back to the bin
Laden family.)

In sworn depositions, Bath said he represented four prominent Saudis as a
trustee (the bin Laden Brothers, including Osaman) and that he would use
his name on their investments (ever heard of illegal silent partners?). In
return, he said, he would receive a 5 percent interest in their deals. Tax
documents and personal financial records show that Bath personally had a 5
percent interest in Arbusto '79 Ltd., and Arbusto '80 Ltd., limited
partnerships controlled by George W. Bush, President Bush's eldest son.
Arbusto means bush in Spanish...

George W. Bush's company, Bush Exploration Co., general partner in the
limited partnerships, went through several mergers, eventually evolving
into Harken Energy Corp., a suburban Dallas-based company. Bush, known
informally as George Jr., is a shareholder and director of Harken, which
has been granted lucrative offshore drilling rights off the coast of
Bahrain in the Persian Gulf...

Note: these donít come with Cracker Jacks - you have to have the favor of
someone in the Royal family, which might be easier if they are worried
about regional invasion from Iraq and want assurances of American
protections - a thought which makes more sense knowing these rights were
obtained just a weeks before Iraq steam-rolled into Kuwait and threatened
Saudi interests as well.

According to a 1976 trust agreement, drawn shortly after Bush was appointed
director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Saudi Sheik Salem M. bin Laden
appointed Bath as his business representative in Houston. (in other words,
Bath, who had CIA ties, first entered into the bin Laden relationship while
the elder Bush was Director of CIA) Bin laden, along with his brothers
(specifically to include Osama bin Laden), owns bin Laden Brothers
Construction, one of the largest construction companies in the Middle East.

According to White, Bath told him that he had assisted the CIA in a liaison
role with Saudi Arabia since 1976 (we call such a person an operative, or
an in-place asset.) Bath has previously denied having worked for the CIA
(which he would be required to do if working for CIA.) In a sworn
deposition, Bath said he was the sole director of Skyway Aircraft Leasing
Ltd., a company that a court document shows is owned by Khaled bin Mahfouz.
Bin Mahfouz had been a major shareholder in the Bank of Credit and Commerce
International (BCCI), a banking empire that has been accused of money
laundering and of using Mideast oil money to seek ties to political leaders
in several countries.

End excerpts. The infamous and ill fated BCCI scandal was CIA's
Oliver-North- Iran-Contra money laundering channel operated by Mahfouz and
which thus served arms dealers Adnan Koshoggi and Manucher Ghorbanifar, and
of course, through funding of the Afghani war efforts by CIA, if not
somewhat indirectly, Osama bin Laden. We further learn In False Profits, a
telling book by Peter Truell and Larry Gurwin, that Bath and bin Mahfouz
put Skyway together with CIA aircraft and operated the airline as an
extension of Air America, which pretty much makes Bath CIA, plain and
simple - despite his dutiful denials. Also in the book, by the way, is this:

'When Bush (the Father) ran for President a decade later, several people
connected with BCCI offered to help. One intriguing example is Mohammed
Rahim Motaghi Irvani, an Iranian immigrant with multiple ties to BCCI, as
noted in Chapter 6. In 1987, Irvani wrote to James A. Baker, III, Bush's
campaign manager, saying he would like to help in the race (another middle
east attempt at influence on the White House?) The letter was forwarded to
Baker by former CIA director Richard Helms (a long-time CIA fellow and
friend to George Bush who was also associated with the Bay of Pigs
operation), with a note describing Irvani as 'a man of substance and
decency.''

insights into the Harkin funding process, one which reveals further Middle
East ties - again to include Ossama bin Lad
