Afghanistan War Planned (Cont'd..)

Now one unusual feature of this particular Kuwaiti firm doing business in
America, is that it is neither incorporated and operated out of America or
out of Kuwait. Instead it is operated out of CIA's preferred place to run
its own wholly owned operations, the Cayman Islands. Now if CIA was somehow
involved, that would be a good thing, because it could then fund a lot of
black project stuff without having to trouble Congress one whit about
oversight, legality, etc. I sleep better at night...

Perhaps we should next ask about Union Oil, but then we would just get into
the Rockefeller Family's vast holdings in ALL oil companies, and of course,
their money and influence goes just about anywhere and everywhere one might
look. That would include the (Senator) Rockefeller Commission on
Assassinations which elected not to tell us about Marita Lorenze, who
testified before it on JFK. It would also include the principle force
behind the NWO movement in the United States, the Council on Foreign
Relations, the Trilateral Commission, and the international Cabal of the
Bilderbergers.

Perhaps we should ask if Penzoil and or Harken Energy have been, are, or
will be investing in or doing business with the new Global Marine/Santa Fe
Entity, Global Sante Fe. It will also be interesting to see if perhaps the
new entity will move offshore to the Cayman Islands, which was where Sante
Fe's corporate registry was maintained. You canít tell these things by the
name, apparently.

So there we have the oil industry/CIA/Bush/Middle-East/bin Laden
relationships x 2, once for George Herbert walker and once for George
Walker, each with the help of Bath, Powell, Cheney, and Baker. I consider
it a fragmentary bomb shell packed with little exploding bomblets of
coincidence and convenience. But it does not end there.

Yet More Profits and Ties

T V Parasuram (PTI - a Hindu Television Network, India) reports from
Washington, September 28, that in the war on terrorism, defense spending
will benefit the Carlyle Group, a Washington D.C. bank specializing in
buyouts of defense and aerospace companies. A major investor in the Carlyle
Group is the bin Laden Brothers. Parasuram cites as their source Wall
Street Journal intelligence dispatches (like a wire service.)

In recent years, former president George H W Bush, ex-secretary of state
James Baker and ex-secretary of defense Frank Carlucci have made the
pilgrimage to the bin Laden family's headquarters in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia).
Ex-president Bush makes speeches on behalf of Carlyle Group and is senior
adviser to its Asian Partners Fund, while Baker is its senior counselor and
Carlucci is the group's chairman.

So here we are. Poised to unleash our military might in a war for oil
profits which was planned months before the 911 terror. You and I would
never have supported a war on the Taliban before the air attacks. But
someone knew that. Someone calculated that in order to get you and me to
sign off in the name of American pride and loyalty, and perhaps in the name
of revenge and blood lust - would require an extremely catastrophic and
horrific event. Someone calculated that to get Pakistan to risk civil war
would require some super compelling event which would justify their aid to
the US. Someone figured out that to get Iran to remain soft on US actions
in their backyard would requires such an event, as well.

What I fear, is that someone figured out what such an event might should
best be. They next figured out how to engineer it, to fund it, and to
execute it - in a way that made profits. Did Osama bin Laden act alone? Was
he the architect? Follow the money. Look who benefits. Look at who's
fingerprints are on the war plans. These are the people who have much to
answer for... before I will sign off on this war. Unless someone can answer
some tough questions about all this, Iíd rather sign off on the arrest
warrant of the entire White House Staff.

Family Ties Involve bin Laden with Former
CIA Directors George Bush, Richard Helms

>From the Village Voice, an article entitled Mondo Washington: The
Accidental Operative, by Camelia Fard & James Ridgeway, Additional
reporting: Ariston-Lizabeth Anderson and Rouven Gueissaz. This piece
documents how closely the CIA and the Taliban, and perhaps, Osama bin Laden
really are, and hints at the value of Afghanistan to CIA as a tactical
opportunity to capture a new drug supply. It turns out that the niece of
former CIA Director Richard Helms is the defacto ambassador to the Taliban,
and thus, the principle political buffer between the US and Osama bin
Laden. Moreover, it highlights how badly the administration and
intelligence community does NOT want Osama bin Laden captured and brought
to justice. Please consider these startling excerpts, italics added:

June 6, 2001. On this muggy afternoon, a group of neatly attired men and a
handful of women gather in a conference room at the Johns Hopkins School of
Advanced International Studies (often looked on as a CIA think tank.) The
guest list includes officials from the furthest corners of the
world?Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, and Turkey?and reps from the
World Bank, the Uzbekistan chamber of commerce, the oil industry, and the
Russian news agency Tass, along with various individuals identified only as
'U.S. Government,' which in times past was code for spook.

At hand is a low-profile briefing on international narcotics by a top State
Department official, who has recently returned from a United Nations trip
to inspect the poppy fields of Afghanistan, source of 80 percent of the
world's opium and target of a recent eradication campaign by the
fundamentalist Taliban. The lecture begins as every other in Washington:
The speaker politely informs the crowd he has nothing to do with
policymaking. And, by the way, it's all off the record.

Lecture over, the chairman asks for questions. One man after another rises
to describe his own observations while in the foreign service. The
moderator pauses, looks to the back of the room, and says in a scarcely
audible voice: 'Laili Helms.' The room goes silent.

Note: Richard Helms and George Bush were key CIA managers involved in the
Bay of Pigs matter according to Mark Lane, and thus, both tied to the
assassination of JFK as mentioned earlier. Both would eventually become
directors of CIA. In CIA, there are axioms seldom left unapplied: Once CIA,
always CIA. The son of CIA becomes CIA. The wife of CIA is from CIA.
Considering these axioms, it is most curious that the son of former CIA
Director George Bush does business with the Brother of Osama bin Laden in
the setting up of businesses which seem very tied to CIA - while at the
same time, a woman with CIA ties and who is married into the family of
former CIA Director Richard Helms represents the Taliban, protector of
Osama bin Laden. This coziness among the CIA and bin Laden families all
suggests to me that perhaps Osama bin Laden may still very much be a CIA
protected operative, and makes me very nervous about who really
orchestrated the 911 attacks.

Laili Helms, his niece by marriage, is an operative, too - but of a
different kind...

In 1999, Helms says, she got a message from the Taliban leadership that
they were willing to turn over all of bin Laden's communications equipment,
which they had seized, to the U.S. When she called the State Department
with this offer, officials were at first interested, but later said, 'No.
We want him.'

Note: Convenient answer. Rather than take away the capability of bin Laden
to direct his people abroad (and perhaps, to communicate with his CIA
overseers), a line is drawn in the sand demanding that which was not
possible. Why not take the gear and still seek the man, having weakened his
ability to avoid capture in the process? Perhaps because getting the man is
NOT the actual goal. Perhaps he is more useful where he is, doing what he
does?

In the same year, Prince Turki, head of Saudi intelligence, reputedly came
up with a scheme to capture bin Laden on his own; after consulting with the
Taliban he flew his private plane to Kabul and drove out to see Mullah Omar
at his HQ. The two men sat down, as Helms recounts the story, and the Saudi
said, 'There's just one little thing. Will you kill bin Laden before you
put him on the plane?' Mullah Omar called for a bucket of cold water. As
the Saudi delegation fidgeted, he took off his turban, splashed water on
his head, and then washed his hands before sitting back down. 'You know why
I asked for the cold water?' he asked Turki. 'What you just said made my
blood boil.'

Bin Laden was a guest of the Afghanis and there was no way they were going
to kill him, though they might turn him over for a trial. At that the deal
collapsed, and Turki flew home empty-handed.

Note: 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.

Early this year, the Taliban's ambassador at large, Hashami, a young man
speaking perfect English, met with CIA operations people and State
Department reps, Helms says. At this final meeting, she says, Hashami
proposed that the Taliban hold bin Laden in one location long enough for
the U.S. to locate and destroy him. The U.S. refused, says Helms, who
claims she was the go-between in this deal between the supreme leader and
the feds...

Again, we see the government refusing to take an opportunity to stop Osama
bin Laden cold. Why? Because there would be no body produced. They want him
'brought to justice', but only it would seem they only want him brought out
as a corpse - if the clues assembled herein are taken at face value.

Perhaps we should ask why we are really going to war, and who really
ordered the 911 attacks. As my friend and author Alex Constantine has said
in mail list"his own newsletters on topic...

The entire case against Osama Bin Laden rested on the claim that the
identities of the hijackers were known. That claim fell apart when even the
US admitted that the hijackers had used phony identifications with the
stolen identities of mideastern arabs on them. Moreover, the hijackers had
made a conspicuous display of themselves in various locales to make sure
that the stolen identities would be remembered. The forged IDs wreck any
chain of evidence that leads from the hijackers to those who controlled them.

So, where are we? Well, it looks like we're about to invade Afghanistan. We
don't know for sure that Osama actually had anything to do with the attacks
on the World Trade Towers but we are still going to invade Afghanistan. We
don't even know that Osama is still inside Afghanistan but we are still
going to invade Afghanistan. It is rapidly becoming clear that Osama was
just the excuse; the real goal all along was to invade Afghanistan, which
is, of course, what the US was telling other countries it intended to do
last summer...While American media gave us all Condit all the time.
