A funny thing happened on the way to 'The Truth'
By Karl W. B. Schwarz
Online Journal Guest Writer
September 24, 2004???¢?¢â?š?¬?¢â??¬?I am a conservative Republican who has come to the conclusion over the past 12 months that I would not vote for Bush Cheney 2004 under bribe, duress or at gunpoint. I have come to that conclusion for many reasons that are well documented and in some instances is information that is known only to myself and several executives that I work with.
I have written a book about my experiences with the Republican National Committee (RNC) and Bush Cheney, and bring forth facts that I found stunning and disgusting to the point that I am convinced that both the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and RNC, and our political system, are in need a serious house cleaning. America needs leadership, not an endless stream of talking heads and game show hosts to keep us entertained. That is my opinion and I am sticking to it.
It would also help if Americans had The Truth but that seems to be something that Washington, DC fears these days.
I read the recent analysis written by Sibel D. Edmonds regarding the 9-11 Commission findings and recommendations. That article was posted on Antiwar.com for those readers that missed it. For those that do not know who Sibel Edmonds is, she is the FBI translator that Bush, Cheney and Ashcroft have gone to great lengths to silence.
The 9-11 attorneys Motley & Rice zeroed in on her as a possible key witness after filing that $1 trillion lawsuit, and when that happened none of us should be surprised that Bush, Cheney and Ashcroft went into "shut her up mode."
Out of curiosity as to how her facts might concur or disagree with the facts I assembled in my book, I tracked Sibel down and we had a long visit via telephone. That conversation was just another example of "don't believe everything you read" in our major media outlets.
I followed her story as it developed and the media always reported to us "mushrooms" that her testimony was being blocked "due to national security" and "protecting the Global War on Terrorism." Good enough reasons I thought at first, until I had the chance to hear it from the source.
During the FBI translations Sibel came across pre-9-11 drug trafficking and money laundering and that is evidently what they are trying to keep quiet. It does not take Sherlock Holmes to figure out that first, the Saudis do not need drug trafficking to generate cash flow to finance terrorism if they are in fact the culprits, and secondly, that tidbit of information does not fit what we have all been told about how al Qaeda financed the attack upon America. After I weighed it all, I thought the 9-11 attorneys might not be as interested in Sibel Edmonds' testimony as they first thought because drug trafficking and money laundering is not exactly a Saudi modus operandi.
More importantly, what Sibel Edmonds found was not from counter-terrorism sources. It was from ongoing FBI investigations of Americans and foreign nationals involved in drug trafficking, money laundering and apparently pre-9-11 activities and financing of that attack. Now that explains why Emperor GW cannot dare let Sibel Edmonds testify under oath in that $1 trillion lawsuit, or before Congress or before the 9-11 Commission. We have not been told that Americans might have been in part involved in 9-11. Wouldn't that be a hoot compared to the endless lies we have heard from the Bush administration?
No wonder her testimony (if ever heard in an open forum) is giving heart palpitations to Emperor George, Prince Dick, and Squire Ashcroft.
Hmmm, I said to myself. That Sibel story sounds familiar, like Iran-Contra, which was in part run through my home state of Arkansas. Who in this menagerie of current "bad actors" has that type of MO and history, including involvement in Iran-Contra? The first name that comes to mind is Richard Armitage of the State Department and reportedly our go between with the Pakistani ISI. Hmmm, it was the former director of ISI that wired Mohammed Atta that $100,000 for 9-11 and then was conveniently in Washington, DC, when 9-11 happened, meeting with Senators Graham and Kyl and Congressman Porter Goss, Bush's pick to keep the lid on at CIA.
Hmm, Richard Armitage, drug trafficking, money laundering, Iran-Contra, Pakistan ISI, what is the connection?
Then there is Baron Rumsfeld over at DoD, who seemed to dart around like a bee pollinating CBW (chemical and biological weapons) to Saddam under the Reagan administration, being part of Iran-Contra, planning and practicing the invasion of Afghanistan in early 2001 well in advance of 9-11, attacking on October 7, 2001, to get rid of those silly Taliban folks, and immediately after 9-11 wanted to start planning to go kick Saddam really good.
Somewhere along the way Baron Rummy forgot to tell us all what Karen Kwiatkowski disclosed, that being the Pentagon was running a little shop of lies known as The Office of Special Plans to skew intelligence to fit the policy that Emperor George II, Prince Dick and Baron Rumsfeld wanted us all to believe. I think the entire world now knows they lied, so no sense wasting time here to belabour that point any further today.
Before I forget, of course George H.W. Bush was vice president and former head of the CIA when Iran-Contra was being done as a CIA black op. CIA, GHWB, Drug trafficking, money laundering, Armitage, Pakistan ISI, what is the connection? I seem to recall that when Barry Seal's body was found (he was the drug part of Iran-Contra) they found George H W Bush's personal telephone number in his car. Curious indeed. Maybe GW should slap "SECRET" all the way back to before his birth just to be on the safe side.
However, I have come across other facts due to personal and professional reasons that the Bush???¢?¢â?š?¬?¢â??¬???Cheney Administration and the 9-11 Commission evidently do not what you as a reader to know.
Do you recall in March 2003 when the FBI and Ashcroft flashed the photographs and name of Adnan G. El Shukrijumah across our TV screens and the next day in major newspapers? Following my divorce in 2002, I dated a lady from Canada for close to 20 months and when those photographs first appeared she recognized him immediately. Two of the five photographs shown on the FBI website directly involved how she knew it was him. He was in Hamilton, Ontario, at McMaster University and under an alias.
The call to the FBI was made from my home office telephone.
The FBI did not go after him. They don't want the "mushroom Americans" to know that fact, either. If you happen to have caught US Attorney Comey's press conference on Shukrijumah recently, at least one aggressive (i.e. awake) reporter pinned him down that they do not have enough evidence on Shukrijumah to arrest or convict him.
Hmmm, then why run his name and photographs on the national and international TV stations claiming he is the ultimate boogeyman? They are looking for him for what exact reason?
I have repeatedly asked the FBI to update their website to include that new alias or provide an explanation as to why they have not done so. I have asked the same of Homeland Security and they of course, never respond to mere American citizens who pose an embarrassing question as to their ineptitude.
Where it gets even more curious is following positive ID of Shukrijumah and the FBI did not go after him, they called the person I know in Canada that knows him, and demanded that she never tell anyone that she had identified him within 10 minutes of them running his photographs and name. They have since run his name and photographs at least four more times since March 2003, pretending to be looking for him, and I emphasize, pretending to be looking for him. They had a chance and did not even go after him.
The FBI never gets around to mentioning that Adnan G. El Shukrijumah and the rest of his family have lived in Florida since 1986 without incident. That is, until someone dreamed up what I am beginning to believe is a GWOT (global war on terror) Fable to cover up other actions.
Hmmm, who is dropping his name as the boogeyman and he is not the boogeyman? I want to know who is doing that and why they are doing it.
Then it gets even more curious. I met a company in 1999 about oil and gas row across South America in key places. The name of that company is Bridas Corporation of Argentina. Well, 1999 was a long time before 9-11 and it was of little importance to me at that time when they told me that they had filed a $15 billion interference of contract lawsuit against Unocal for interference of contract in Turkmenistan.
They also informed me that they had signed contracts with General Rashid Dostum (that Uzbek who controls the northern part of Afghanistan) and the Taliban.
Seems Bush and Cheney do not want anyone to know that Bridas had contracts to build that pipeline across Afghanistan and we now control it after October 7, 2001, and the attack we levied on Afghanistan. That pipeline is now under construction, is under US control, so it's Miller Time, Emperor GW finally got a "Mission Accomplished."
Now, why didn't Emperor George, Prince Dick or the 9-11 Commission ever say a word about a non-US company having beat the US to that pipeline contract across Afghanistan? Did any of you readers hear a word about Bridas Corporation, Afghanistan, or that pipeline, or that lawsuit in Texas?
Didn't think so.
That sort of explains to me why Emperor George wanted a whole new CIA division just for Argentina, since Bridas is from Argentina.
For you information sleuths, on September 9, 2003, Bridas Corporation prevailed in the Fifth Circuit US Court of Appeals on an arbitration award, reportedly over $500 million, in the matter of Bridas Corporation v. Turkmenneft, the oil ministry arm of Turkmenistan. For the geographically impaired, that is the northwest end of the pipeline that is going across Afghanistan even as you read this, but under US control. Of course, the Bush friends went running to the US Supreme Court, but on March 22, 2004, the high court denied writ of certiorari and left intact the decision out of New Orleans; matter of Turkmenneft v. Bridas Corporation 03-1018, U.S. Supreme Court.
Drug trafficking, money laundering, 9-11, attacking to take away that oil pipeline contract so Emperor George can claim "Mission Accomplished" on something, all of the big Caspian Basin oil deals that need that pipeline.
Seems Sibel Edmonds might have stumbled across a key link that might unravel why the World Trade Center (WTC) is now a hole in the ground and US companies now control a pipeline they had not a chance of controlling, that is until 9-11 and October 7, 2001.
I keep thinking about that Project for a New American Century announcement in 2000:
In 2000 PNAC issued a report predicting that their proposed "transformation" of U.S. military and diplomatic policy in the Middle East wouldn't come very quickly, barring the occurrence of "some catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor."
Hmm, Pearl Harbor and WTC, what is the connection?
Guess what law firm represented Turkmenneft to keep Bridas tied up in court? Mayer Brown Rowe & Maw, and senior partner Richard Ben Veniste was sitting on that 9-11 Commission while Bridas was winning. His law firm stands to make hundreds of millions in fees having now positioned themselves in Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Isn't DC policy a wonderfully profitable endeavor?
I was part of a 9-11 program presented in New York City and when the panel I was on was completed, a woman got past security and came running up to me on the stage, wanting to tell me something. She had just been fired from a job in Argentina with one of our major banks and informed that all of Argentina is hoping an American figured out what Bush/Cheney, et al, did to Bridas Corporation. I had a strange peace before that presentation, maybe I knew she would be there to let me know that my information is right on target.
Lastly, eight of the 10 9-11 Commission members (that I know of) are directly benefiting from 9-11 or companies they represent or sit on the board of directors of that pipeline, that big Caspian Oil deal being "open for business" soon, thanks to the US controlled pipeline, so I think we can all rest assured that The Truth Commission on 9-11 has yet to convene. The ones with serious conflicts are Kean, Fielding, Lehman, Thompson, Hamilton, Gorelick, Ben Veniste, and Roemer and just for kicks, a former Lee Hamilton staffer, Christopher Kojm, was in the back office with Zelikow.
Stay tuned???¢?¢â?š?¬?¢â??¬?there is plenty of truth to be found. There are few if any truth seekers in Washington, DC. The truth will not set some of them free.

That's a no shitter!
I have been aware of the pipeline scandal previously. Unocal and Delta Oil of Saudi Arabis spent
some millions to do studies on the pipeline route. They were subsequently dismissed by the Taliban,
and now we know the rest of the story.

A couple of years ago, the U.S. government reclassified some Pearl Harbor documents that had been open to the public at the National Archives. I wonder why there should have been renewed sensitivity about Pearl Harbor.

What year was that precisely? Was it BEFORE 9-11?

I don't remember what year. The author Robert Stinnett reported the reclassification. If you do a bit of searching on the Web, you may be able to get more precise information.

I did find this post of yours on LP:
I am informed by jamaksin on TOS that NSA has recently, within the past couple of years,
reclassified some Pearl Harbor documents that had been previously opened to the public in the
National Archives. I do wonder what the reason is for such renewed sensitivity about Pearl
Harbor.
So, they did it after 9-11, it sounds like.

That's very odd about Pearl Harbor documents being reclassified away from public scrutiny. It's practically ancient history.
