[wordup] Illegalities Suggests Bush Role In 9/11

[Adam Shand]

>From what little I know I think the best argument against mass
conspiracy is simply that I have a hard time imagining everyone involved
keeping quiet.  Occam's razor and all that ...

Regardless it's going to be morbidly fascinating (in a god I'm glad I
don't pay tax there anymore sort of way) to see how the layers of
conspiracy unfold over the coming years.

Bush Record Of Illegalities Suggests Possible Role In 9/11 WTC, Pentagon
Strikes

By Sherwood Ross

The trouble with thinking 9/11 was an inside job staged by George W.
Bush & Co. is that it defies belief any U.S. president might be capable
of such an iniquitous crime against his own people.

Yet, subsequent Bush actions, such as lying the nation into war against
Iraq, makes one wonder if the man didn’t create the 9/11 massacres to
justify his attacks on Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran.

After all, his record reveals him to be a serial liar, warmonger,
tyrant, torturer, and usurper of his peoples’ civil liberties. Just off
the top, here are some illegal GWB actions that betray what he is really
about.

# Bush lied the U.S. into what former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan
called an “illegal” war on Iraq. This conflict has killed 650,000
civilians, wounded over a million more, drove nearly 2-million from
their country, and turned life into a living hell for the rest. The
death toll there is already equal to about 240 WTC massacres, yet Bush
persists in waging the war.

# Bush okayed $1.5-trillion for new weapons' research including grisly
weapons that would thrill mad scientists, such as sound waves that crush
a victim's internal organs. Another gem is "rods from god" to hurl
tungsten poles down from Earth orbit down upon its victims at 7,200
miles an hour, striking with the atomic fury. He is illegally
militarizing space. These are not the dreams of a humanist.

# Bush has allowed illegal radioactive ammunition fired in Afghanistan
and Iraq that poison civilian populations and U.S. troops, as well as
cluster bombs. Does this evince concern for human life?

# Bush has made himself master of the greatest spy apparatus the world
has ever known at a cost to taxpayers of $50-billion annually. He
authorized NSA to spy illegally on Americans, allegedly to catch
terrorists. If this was the true reason, why did he also eavesdrop on UN
officials?

# Bush authorized CIA agents to go to foreign countries to kidnap
"suspects" and dump them in distant prisons to be tortured with no
warrants signed to seize them, no charges brought against them, and no
lawyers to defend them. In his secret prisons there may be many
thousands held illegally, and tortured, while all the time he lies to
the world "we don't torture." Is this a man with empathy for others?

# Bush is also funding hundreds of biotechnology labs to create deadly
strains of exotic killer diseases at a cost to taxpayers of $40-billion.
Many operate in secret, illegally violating transparency rules. On
Bush’s watch, anthrax germs from a military laboratory in Fort Detrick,
Md., were mysteriously unleashed upon two of his political opponents in
the U.S. Senate that killed five people and sickened 17 others and
temporarily shut down the Congress.

Peculiarly, the perpetrators of the anthrax panic and the massacres at
the WTC and Pentagon have not been caught. “Why not?” Is it just
possible the White House doesn’t want the killers apprehended?

For all these, and many other reasons, it’s worth hearing out the
arguments of those who claim the 9/11 events were staged by the White
House to rush a frightened nation into war.

In the March/April issue of "Tikkun", a bimonthly "Jewish Critique of of
Politics, Culture & Society," author Dr. David Ray Griffin asserts the
Administration never proved the 9/11 attacks were made by Osama bin
Laden. Griffin, a professor of philosophy and theology at Claremont
Graduate College, Calif., and author of “The New Pearl Harbor”(Olive
Branch Press) writes the FBI has “no hard evidence” of his culpability.

Griffin asks why WTC building 7, not struck by an airplane, collapsed
upon itself in the same manner as buildings 1 and 2, why no steel
remained standing? And he notes steel does not melt until it reaches
2800 degrees F. and the jet fuel used by the airliners that hit WTC
burned at only 1700 F.

Collapse of the three towers, he said, “manifested many standard
features of the kind of controlled demolition known as implosion, such
as: sudden onset; straight-down collapse; collapse at virtually
free-fall speed, indicating the lower floors were offering no
resistance; total collapse, indicating that the massive steel columns in
the core of each building had been broken into many pieces; the
production of molten metal, and the concurrence of multiple explosions.”

“Dozens of people, including journalists, police officers, WTC
employees, emergency medical workers, and fire-fighters reported hearing
explosions in the Twin Towers,” Griffin writes. One fire captain said he
heard a series of explosions from the top floor down, one after another,
“boom, boom, boom.” And a paramedic described them as akin to a
“professional demolition where they set the charges on certain floors
and then you hear ‘Pop, pop, pop, pop.”

“Complete collapses of steel-frame high-rise buildings have never been
brought about by fire plus externally caused structural damage,” Griffin
tells “Tikkun” readers. “Such collapses have only been caused by
explosives used in controlled demolitions.”

If you wonder how saboteurs might plant explosives in the three WTC
towers without being detected, Griffin notes on Web site “9.11 Truth”
President Bush’s brother Marvin and his cousin Wirt Walker III “were
both principals in the company in charge of security for WTC.” The firm,
Securacom, was also responsible for electronic security at United
Airlines, whose flights struck WTC.

Among Griffin’s charges, the most startling may be that Osama bin Laden,
who was already one of America’s “most wanted” criminals, was treated in
July, 2001 --- two months before 9/11 --- in the American Hospital in
Dubai, and visited by the local CIA agent.

Does this explain why bin Laden was not caught and likely never will be
caught? Is it possible this “renegade” from a prominent Saudi Arabian
family having long ties to President Bush Sr. is in fact a fall guy
whose alleged crimes gave Bush an excuse to invade Afghanistan and Iraq?

Congress needs to conduct a real investigation of 9/11. It may not only
uncover ample grounds for impeachment but for criminal prosecution.
Given GWB’s track record for criminal activity, treason cannot be ruled
out.
