U.S. ‘Terrorologist’ Webster Tarpley Tours Britain To Reveal 9/11 Truth

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

Since 9/11, evidence has come to light that contradicts that day’s infamous terrorist attack. American historian Webster Tarpley argues that this is nothing new, serious inconsistencies have been associated with terror attacks for hundreds of years throughout the Western world.

Whilst much post 9/11 evidence has been well sourced it has trickled out, having far less impact than the official narrative which holds Islamic fanatics entirely responsible. The end result is that press and public are left confused and disorientated by a lack of resolution to one of the biggest stories of our age. Terrorology is a growing discipline that seeks to bring academic rigour and reasoned argument to analysing this highly emotive subject.

Author of two books about connections between the US state and organised crime Tarpley scours the world for answers to the growing mountain of contradictions about 9/11 and develops an alternative account which counts Islamic ‘extremists’ among the victims. He finds evidence for the roots of 9/11 in the Western establishment, what he calls a ‘rogue network’ embedded in the secret state and military apparatus.

Amongst the unanswered questions Tarpley addresses are why…

The US Air Force for up to one-and-a-half hours failed to intercept hijacked airliners.

There was no apparent wreckage of an airliner at the Pentagon.

‘Put options’ on United Airlines and American Airlines shares placed before 9/1 were traced back to the Executive Director of the CIA.

Building 7 at the WTC site in Manhattan collapsed without being hit by a plane.

And he goes on to ask is the “War on Terror” really an Orwellian programme designed to take away peoples’ hard won civil liberties?

Tarpley’s analysis comes as music to the ears of the growing number of Britons uncomfortable about the suspension of habeas corpus and the racist overtones of internment of Muslims.

Webster will be available for interview in each venue city of the tour (see below) from roughly 2pm on the appropriate day. He will be in London from about midday on Saturday 4th November and leaves Glasgow on Sunday 12th November for Milan where the Italian translation of ‘911 Synthetic Terror’ is being launched.

Biography

Webster Griffin Tarpley is an activist and historian best known for his George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography (1992), which has become an underground classic.
An expert on international terrorism with decades of experience, he directed the study Chi ha ucciso Aldo Moro? (Who Killed Aldo Moro?) which was commissioned by a member of the Italian government and published in Rome in 1978. [Aldo Moro was an ex-prime minister of Italy who was murdered by the "Red Brigades," who were ultimately found out to be a front for a fascist state terror group.]

Against Oligarchy, a collection of Tarpley’s essays and speeches, appeared on the Internet in 1996. He also wrote Surviving the Cataclysm (1999), an analysis of the world financial crisis.

In 2005, Tarpley’s ‘9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA’ gained a following and is now going into a fourth edition. On October 7, 2006, Amazon.com’s top non-fiction book reviewer, Robert David Steele, called it “the strongest of the 770+ books I have reviewed here at Amazon.”

Tarpley has appeared on CNN Crossfire, FOX News, Charlie Rose, talk radio, and cable access television across North America.

Barack Obama and Dick Cheney are cousins

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

The Telegraph

The wife of US Vice-President Dick Cheney has revealed that her husband is closely enough related to the Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama to call him “cousin”.

Lynne Cheney said that she had made the unlikely discovery of kinship between President George W Bush’s hawkish deputy and the charismatic black Illinois senator while researching ancestry for her new memoir, Blue Skies, No Fences.

The men are apparently eighth cousins, but Mrs Cheney said she did not include this in her memoir.

“This is such an amazing American story that one ancestor … could be responsible down the family lines for lives that have taken such different and varied paths as Dick’s and Barack Obama,” Mrs Cheney told MSNBC television.

According to Mrs Cheney’s spokesman, Senator Obama is a descendant of Mareen Duvall.

The French Huguenot’s son married the granddaughter of a Richard Cheney, who arrived in Maryland in the late 1650s from England.

The Vice President’s full name is Richard B Cheney.

A spokesman for Senator Obama, who wants to be the first black US president, offered a tongue-in-cheek response.

“Every family has a black sheep,” said Bill Burton.

Bush’s approval at new low in Reuters: 24 percent

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

Mark Silva

President Bush’s approval rating has reached a new low in the newest Reuters/Zogby Poll — with just 24 percent of those surveyed approving of Bush’s job performance. That is down from 29 percent last month.

It is lower than the latest register of Bush’s approval rating in the Gallup Poll — 32 percent in Gallup’s newest October survey.

The newest gauge arrives as President Bush prepares for a press conference in the West Wing this morning — at 10:40 am EDT — and as the president prepares to fend off an override of his veto of an expansion of children’s health care on Capitol Hilll tomorrow.

Public approval for the job that Congress is performing — 11 percent in the new survey — matches the all-time low that Reuters found last month.

“Deepening unhappiness with President George W. Bush and the U.S. Congress soured the mood of Americans and sent Bush’s approval rating to another record low this month,” Reuters reports today.

“The Reuters/Zogby Index,” which measures the mood of the country, also fell from 98.8 to 96 — the second consecutive month in which it has dropped. The number of Americans who believe the country is on the wrong track jumped four points to 66 percent.

“There is a real question among Americans now about how relevant this government is to them,” pollster John Zogby said. “They tell us they want action on health care, education, the war and immigration, but they don’t believe they are going to get it.”

Dad: Blackwater blew up son’s and wife’s ’skulls’

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

Jomana Karadsheh

Haythem could only recognize his oldest boy from his tall and slim physique as well as what was left of his shoes. His son’s head had been blown away, his body charred beyond recognition. His wife of more than 20 years was torn apart.

“Only part of her neck and jaw remained,” Haythem told CNN. The rest of her was covered by a body bag.

Choking back tears, he said, “Killing them was not enough, blowing up their skulls, they burned them and disfigured them.”

Haythem’s wife, Mahassen, and his 20-year-old son, Ahmed, were among the 17 Iraqi civilians killed and 27 others wounded in a hail of gunfire September 16 in Baghdad.

Guards working for private security firm Blackwater USA are accused of opening fire on the Iraqis.

The Iraqi government has said the Blackwater guards shot without provocation — something the U.S.-based contractor has denied, saying the guards were in a firefight with gunmen.

An Iraqi government report has accused Blackwater of “premeditated murder,” saying the company’s guards randomly fired at civilians. An Iraqi panel investigating the shootings has asked Blackwater to pay the families of each of the victims $8 million in compensation.

“Money will not compensate us for what we have lost, even if it were piles of it,” Haythem said. “No one can put a price on the lives of those killed.”

Haythem, 46, a doctor who specializes in blood diseases, spoke from his temporary home in an upscale Baghdad neighborhood where he is living with his mother and two remaining children — daughter Maryam, 18, and son Haidar, 17.

While he spoke, his mother sat in a corner of the room, moaning and sobbing, rocking back and forth on a couch. She wore all black.

All Haythem and the family know about the final moments of their loved ones is what two Iraqi police officers who witnessed the shootings have told them — that Ahmed was shot as he was driving his car in Nusoor Square and his mother clutched him tight as he was bleeding.

“Those who witnessed the incident say that my son’s head was scattered and my wife held him and hugged him,” Haythem said. “She was screaming, ‘My son, my son! Help me! Help me!’ ”

The car slowly rolled forward until Blackwater guards unleashed more shots that turned the vehicle into a fireball, according to the witnesses.

“They understood the call for help. They sprayed her with bullets,” he said.

Blackwater has not discussed specifics about the case, saying the FBI is investigating the matter. Blackwater CEO Erik Prince told CNN Sunday one of the Blackwater vehicles was damaged by small arms fire and that his guards committed no “deliberate violence.”

Haythem’s wife also was a doctor and his son was attending medical school with hopes of becoming a surgeon.

“They destroyed my family and they killed my beloved wife, my better half,” Haythem said calmly. “They deprived me of my eldest son who I have raised into a strong, young man. They deprived him of fulfilling his dream to be a doctor and a surgeon. They planted pain and misery in the hearts of my two younger kids.”

His daughter and son live in fear that he too will be slain on the streets of Baghdad, leaving them as orphans.

Maryam sat with her father throughout the interview, not wanting to leave his side. She said she and her mother were close friends — able to chat like sisters and share stories beyond most mother-daughter relationships.

“My friends would always tell me how much they noticed my mom’s love for me. She used to always talk to me about my future and her dreams for me,” she said. “I hope I live up to her expectations.”

Maryam’s last conversation with her mom was the morning of September 16. Maryam had a biology exam that day. Her mom woke her up and reviewed the material with her to make sure she was properly prepared for the test.

“She stayed for another few minutes, joking and laughing,” Maryam said, tears running down her cheeks.

Haythem was dropped off at work that day by his wife and son. They then picked up a college application for Maryam, who is hoping to enter dental school. At some point afterward they were killed.

Haythem first began worrying when his wife was late picking him up from work. Then calls to her cell phone went unanswered. In the chaotic world of Baghdad — where violence and kidnappings are common — anytime a loved one doesn’t show up on time fears of the worst begin.

He eventually made it home and began making more phone calls. The worrying intensified as news reports swirled of a deadly shooting in Nusoor Square. He called his brother, a doctor at a nearby hospital, to check the emergency room and the morgue. The brother found no signs of them.

Haythem’s brother then went to the scene and found a burned-out car. He called Haythem and asked for the license plate number.

“My brother collapsed and said, ‘The family car is burned and may God bless their souls,’ ” Haythem said.

Despite his sorrow and anguish, Haythem maintains a calm and peaceful attitude, saying he only seeks justice through the courts and that he trusts the U.S. and international judicial systems.

“All we want is the fair judiciary do us justice. We ask the judge who takes this case to think before he rules, to be satisfied with his ruling as if he were, God forbid, personally involved,” he said.

Haythem’s and Maryam’s faces light up when they speak of their loved ones. Ahmed, they said, was an achiever, an ambitious young man who not only was always at the top of his class but who also enjoyed sports and singing and had an interest in languages. He was fluent in English and was learning French and Italian.

“He was quiet and very popular and a leader. This was all wasted in a moment,” his father said. “He was guilty of no crime. What compensation is there for that? There can’t be any.”

Maryam just wishes she could turn the clock back. “I only wish I could relive last month, my family around,” she said. “But they are gone. What can we do? If we die, we will do so in Iraq and hopefully we will all meet in heaven.”

French argue over aerial robot surveillance

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

Candace Lombardi

Not everyone in the French government wants to use flying robotic surveillance drones next year as part of a plan to triple police surveillance efforts.

ELSA (a French acronym for “light device for aerial surveillance”) is a 4-foot aerial robot that would be used to watch people in Paris and towns connected to Paris by the Metro subway system.

The device was demonstrated at Milipol, an exhibition of police security technology, which took place last week in Paris.

ELSA drones are slated to be part of an effort to triple the number of video surveillance devices by 2009, Michèle Alliot-Marie, France’s minister of the Interior, told the Le Monde newspaper. Some could be used in conjunction with the Paris Metro subway security system, while the rest could be monitored by individual police stations for general security and to watch over demonstrations.

Mostly made of foam and weighing no more than a water bottle, ELSA poses little physical threat to people in the event of a crash. But equipped with night vision capabilities as well as daytime surveillance cameras, it’s seen by some as a threat to personal freedom.

Some French politicians voiced protests after learning that the device had already been tested in several towns without their knowledge, according to Le Monde.

France should not be treated like a hostage-taking or civil war-torn country, Daniel Goldberg, a member of the French National Assembly (France’s lower house of Parliament), told Le Monde.

“Faced with the legitimate and pressing expectations of citizens, we might be tempted to pay for additional security with a sacrifice in terms of freedom. This much is clear: this will never be the choice of France–and it will never be mine,” he said.
