Stop The Coup

Stop The Coup

We have long been suspicious of the so-called CIA leak case.

When it turned out that Colin Powell's long time friend and deputy,

Richard Armitage, was the original source of the Valerie Plame leak to

Robert Novak we were not at all surprised. The extremely anti-Israel

Novak has long been an admirer of the extremely anti-Israel Colin

Powell.

Vice President Cheney must be enraged over the fact that it was

Colin Powell's long time friend and deputy Richard Armitage who was

the original

source of the Valerie Plame leak to Robert Novak.

President Bush must be furious at Armitage. And well both Vice

President Cheney and

President Bush should be. What was the end game behind the so-called

CIA leak case?

Was it to somehow lay a perjury trap for Vice President Cheney's aide,

I.Lewis "Scooter" Libby,in the hope that Libby could be "turned"

against Vice President Cheney, which,

might well have led to Vice President Cheney's forced resignation from

office,

and in President Bush being forced to name Colin Powell to replace

Vice President Cheney,

only to be later forced out of office himself, so that Colin Powell

could become President of the United States?

In other words, is what we have here in this so-called "case",

actually the outlines of

an attempted coup against President Bush and Vice President Cheney?

If so, was Colin Powell involved in any way, either directly or

indirectly?

What did Powell know, if anything, and when did Powell know it?

Former Tennesse Senator Fred Thompson, served on the advisory board

of the legal defense fund for Libby, and urged President Bush to

pardon him. If Fred Thompson

enters the race for the Republican nomination for President in 2008 he

may be the odds on favorite to win that nomination, at least according

to a variety of political observers, and could thus be well on the way

to becoming the next President of the United States.

It is refreshing to note that Fred Thompson, who played a prosecutor

on TV's "Law and Order" series, was not taken in by real life

prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald.

"I am very happy for Scooter Libby," Thompson said. "I know that this

is a great relief to him, his wife and children. This will allow a

good American, who has done a lot for his country, to resume his

life."

Happily Fred Thompson is not the only person not to be taken in by

real life federal

prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald.

Another real life federal prosecutor, GOP presidential candidate and

former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said: "After evaluating the

facts, the president came to a reasonable decision and I believe the

decision was correct."

Predictably the appeasers were vocal in their criticism of President

Bush's brave

decision in the Libby case.

Democratic presidential candidate and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama

offered a different take.

"This decision to commute the sentence of a man who compromised our

national security cements the legacy of an administration

characterized by a politics of cynicism and division, one that has

consistently placed itself and its ideology above the law," Obama

said. "This is exactly the kind of politics we must change so we can

begin restoring the American people's faith in a government that puts

the country's progress ahead of the bitter partisanship of recent

years."

Presidential candidate and New York Sen. Hillary Clinton described

actions that led to Libby's conviction as part of a larger effort by

the White House to silence critics of the war in Iraq.

"Today's decision is yet another example that this administration

simply considers itself above the law," said Clinton of Bush's

decision to commute Libby's sentence. "This case arose from the

administration's politicization of national security intelligence and

its efforts to punish those who spoke out against its policies.

"Four years into the Iraq war, Americans are still living with the

consequences of this White House's efforts to quell dissent. This

commutation sends the clear signal that in this Administration,

cronyism and ideology trump competence and justice."

Fellow 2008 hopeful and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards also

blasted the commuted sentence.

"Only a president clinically incapable of understanding that mistakes

have consequences could take the action he did today," Edwards said.

"President Bush has just sent exactly the wrong signal to the country

and the world. In George Bush's America, it is apparently okay to

misuse intelligence for political gain, mislead prosecutors and lie to

the FBI.

"George Bush and his cronies think they are above the law and the rest

of us live with the consequences. The cause of equal justice in

America took a serious blow today."

"Last week Vice President Cheney asserted that he was beyond the reach

of the law," added Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, another presidential

candidate. "Today, President Bush demonstrated the lengths he would go

to, ensuring that even aides to Dick Cheney are beyond the judgment of

the law. It is time for the American people to be heard -- I call for

all Americans to flood the White House with phone calls tomorrow

expressing their outrage over this blatant disregard for the rule of

law."

Other partisans also expressed outrage.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said: "The president's decision to

commute Mr. Libby's sentence is disgraceful. Libby's conviction was

the one faint glimmer of accountability for White House efforts to

manipulate intelligence and silence critics of the Iraq war. Now, even

that small bit of justice has been undone.

"Judge (Reggie) Walton correctly determined that Libby deserved to be

imprisoned for lying about a matter of national security," Reid said.

"The Constitution gives President Bush the power to commute sentences,

but history will judge him harshly for using that power to benefit his

own vice president's chief of staff who was convicted of such a

serious violation of law."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said: "The president's commutation of

Scooter Libby's prison sentence does not serve justice, condones

criminal conduct and is a betrayal of trust of the American people.

"The president said he would hold accountable anyone involved in the

Valerie Plame leak case. By his action today, the president shows his

word is not to be believed," Pelosi said. "He has abandoned all sense

of fairness when it comes to justice, he has failed to uphold the rule

of law, and he has failed to hold his administration accountable."

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said:"It is very disappointing that

the president has chosen to substitute his judgment for that of the

trial judge who heard all the evidence in Mr. Libby's case, as well as

the federal appellate panel which ruled today that Mr. Libby could not

delay serving his prison term.

"The charges against Mr. Libby were not insubstantial; a jury

convicted him of lying to authorities and obstructing the

investigation into the public disclosure of a CIA operative's

identity." Stoyer said. " In the last election, accountability for

wrongdoing was a major issue. With this decision today in the Libby

case, the president continues to demonstrate that he rejects

accountability for wrongdoing in his administration."

Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry also criticized the decision as a

misstep of justice.

"President Bush's 11th hour commutation of Scooter Libby's sentence

makes a mockery of the justice system and betrays the idea that all

Americans are expected to be held accountable for their actions, even

close friends of Vice President Cheney," Kerry said. "It's a tragedy

that with young Americans paying the ultimate price in Iraq for this

administration's mistakes, this White House continues to avoid

accountability and reward deceit for their friends and supporters."

Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders also chimed in.

"A jury of his peers found Libby guilty of lying about his role in

revealing the identity of a covert CIA operative," Sanders said. "It

is unfortunate that President Bush in commuting his sentence has once

again put political considerations above the interests of our judicial

system."

Republican congressional leaders countered with statements of support

for the reduced penalty for Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief

of staff.

"President Bush did the right thing today in commuting the prison term

for Scooter Libby," said House Republican Whip Roy Blunt. "The prison

sentence was overly harsh and the punishment did not fit the crime.

The sentence was based on charges that had nothing to do with the leak

of the identity of a CIA operative."

Was Armitage acting on his own or on Colin Powell's orders?

Will Powell and Armitage be called to testify under oath regarding

that key question?

We certainly hope so. We wonder what the end game of the so-called CIA

leak case

actually was.

We note that the special prosecutor in the case Patrick J. Fitzgerald

had a rather interesting background, to say the least. Was Patrick J.

Fitzgerald really more concerned with

covering himself and his failure to recognize the hand of Saddam

Hussein in cases he handled, such as the first attack on the World

Trade Center in 1993, than he was in pursuing the truth in the so-

called CIA leak case? After all the gist of the argument underlying

that case as made by the appeasers is that Wilson was being smeared by

some mythical vast right-wing conspiracy that sought to reveal

Wilson's wife's career in an effort to diminish Wilson's effectiveness

in his role as a critic of the liberation of Iraq.

But if it could be shown that the liberation of Iraq was totally

justifiable, and that

Saddam Hussein was behind both the 1993 attack on the World Trade

Center,

and the September 11th, 2001 attacks on America, wouldn't the American

people

demand to know why Patrick J. Fitzgerald had failed to see Saddam's

hand in the

first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993?

In fact, wouldn't the families of those who died on September 11th,

2001 begin litigation

against Patrick J. Fitzgerald personally for his failure to recognize

Saddam's hand in the

first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993?

After all, if Patrick J. Fitzgerald, who prosecuted the case on the

first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993 had recognized

Saddam's hand in the

first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993 the U.S. could well

have used that attack

as a Casus belli a case to go to war against Saddam Hussein in 1993?

If it had, Iraq would have been liberated in 1993 and the events of

September 11th, 2001,

which were masterminded by Saddam Hussein would never have happened.

"In June of 1994, he" (Patrick J. Fitzgerald)

"became counsel in the prosecution of the 'blind sheik', Omar Abdel

Rahman and 11 other defendants, who were accused of a seditious

conspiracy involving the bombing of the World Trade Center and a plot

to bomb the United Nations, the FBI Building in New York, the Lincoln

and Holland Tunnels, and to assassinate President Hosni Mubarak of

Egypt. The nine-month trial resulted in convictions.

"The following year, Fitzgerald was named Co-Chief of the Organized

Crime and Terrorism Section of the Office of the United States

Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Shortly thereafter he

became National Security Coordinator for the Office. In these

capacities, he was responsible for supervising the investigation and

development and prosecution of the case against Osama bin Laden. He

was the chief counsel in the prosecution of those alleged to have

perpetrated the bombings of the U.S. Embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and

Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania."

"Fitzgerald also served as trial counsel in United States v. Arnaout,

(United States v. Arnaout Enaam M. Arnaout Prosecutors alleged that

Arnaout participated in a RICO enterprise - an ostensible charity

known as Benevolence International Foundation ("BIF") - aiming to

channel funding and support to militant jihad activities around the

world. Ultimately, Arnaout pled guilty to one RICO count based on

the

failure to disclose to donors that BIF funds were used to buy boots,

tents, and like items for fighters in Chechnya and Bosnia."

to racketeering conspiracy for fraudulently obtaining charitable

donations to provide financial assistance to persons engaged in

violent activities overseas, including to fighters in Chechnya and

Bosnia, instead of using donations strictly for peaceful, humanitarian

purposes."

"In New York, Mr. Fitzgerald participated in the prosecution of United

States v. Usama Bin Laden, et al., in which 23 defendants were charged

with various offenses, including conspiracy to murder United States

nationals overseas and the August 1998 bombings of the United States

embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Four

defendants went on trial in January 2001 in New York and four months

later a jury returned guilty verdicts against all four. The defendants

were sentenced to life in prison.

Mr. Fitzgerald also participated in the trial of United States v. Omar

Abdel Rahman, et al., a nine-month trial in 1995 of 12 defendants who

participated in a seditious conspiracy that involved the 1993 bombing

of the World Trade Center and a plot to bomb the United Nations, the

FBI building in New York, and the Holland and Lincoln tunnels, as well

as a conspiracy to assassinate President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt. He

also supervised the case of United States v. Ramzi Yousef, et al., the

1996 prosecution of three defendants who participated in a conspiracy

in the Philippines in late 1994 and early 1995 to detonate bombs

simultaneously on 12 American airliners."

We wonder how Patrick J. Fitzgerald

http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/iln/aboutus/patrickjfitzgerald.html

http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/iln/osc/

could have missed the connections to Saddam Hussein and Arafat in

those cases.

Why would arafat want Sirhan Sirhan, convicted palestinian assassin

of Robert F. Kennedy, freed Is it because DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES?

"The one who killed Kennedy was trained for three years Salem then

asked (Sheikh

Omar Abdul) Rahman what he thought of the plan to bomb [the Federal

Building]. Rahman responded, Well, uh, a little bit later. We'll talk

about this. When Salem indicated that the plan was currently in

motion, Rahman responded, It doesnt matter. Slow down. Slow down a

little bit. The one who killed Kennedy was trained for three years."

Trade Center bombing.

Cousin of Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan suspected in kibbutz

massacre

By Margot Dudkevitch Nov. 13, 2002 Security forces arrested a number

of Palestinian terrorist suspects in Judea and Samaria on Tuesday as

a

manhunt continued for Tanzim terrorist Sirhan Sirhan, blamed for the

shooting attack in Kibbutz Metzer on Sunday night November 10th,

2002.

Security sources confirmed Wednesday that they suspect that Sirhan, a

resident of Tulkarm, carried out the attack and Palestinian reports

claimed that his uncle was among those arrested on Tuesday by

security

forces. The suspect is related to Sirhan B. Sirhan, the Jerusalemite

who assassinated US Senator Robert Kennedy in 1968. Kennedy was shot

dead in 1968 at Los Angeles Ambassador Hotel by Sirhan Sirhan, a

25-year-old Palestinian immigrant who said he felt betrayed by

Kennedy's support for Israel in the Six-Day War of 1967. At the time,

Kennedy was a Democratic senator running for president. Israeli

security sources said they believe the gunman in the Kibbutz Metzer

attack is a cousin of the Kennedy assassin, and may have been named

after his infamous relative. The Kennedy assassin is serving a life

sentence in a California state prison. His lawyers have suggested

that

if he was released from prison he could return to the so

called palestinian

territories. Sirhan has been denied parole 10 times and prosecutors

say his return to Judea and Samaria could further enflame the

Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Meanwhile, the Tanzim Al-Aksa Brigades

on Tuesday vowed to continue attacks against Israeli civilians and

soldiers, after claiming Sundays attack at Metzer in which five

people were killed."

"ARAFAT ORDERED DIPLO SLAYINGS: EX-SPY By URI DAN

New York Post

http://www.nypost.com/news/worldnews/7289.htm

December 15, 2001 -- JERUSALEM - Yasser Arafat personally ordered the

execution of two American diplomats in 1973, a former U.S.

intelligence officer says. James Walsh said he knew of a tape

recording in which Arafat calmly discussed an attack on the Saudi

Arabian Embassy in Khartoum, Sudan. In February 1973 gunmen had burst

into the embassy and seized American Ambassador Cleo Noel and his

charge d'affaires, George Curtis Moore. The Black September terrorist

organization took responsibility for the assault and demanded the

release of Sirhan Sirhan, the imprisoned assassin of Robert F.

Kennedy. and other jailed Palestinians. Walsh, then a member of the

National Security Agency based in Cyprus, said his organization

intercepted a conversation between Arafat and Black September in

which

the PLO chairman ordered the killing of the Americans and a Belgian

diplomat. Walsh told the Israeli newspaper Haaretz that the

conversation was never disclosed by U.S. officials because it would

compromise American eavesdropping resources. Walsh said the NSA had

intercepted a series of phone calls between Arafat and the Black

September kidnappers. Officials in Jerusalem said the United States

had been informed of the conversation through another channel. They

said then-Prime Minister Golda Meir told then-President Richard Nixon

that Israel had also intercepted a conversation between Arafat and

kidnap leader Khalil al-Wazir, in which they discussed killing the

Americans.. Two weeks before he was murdered Doctor King had

endorsed

the Presidential Candidacy of Eugene McCarthy, Democrat of Minnesota

for the 1968 Democratic Presidential Nomination. Senator McCarthy,

(not to be confused with Republican Senator Joe McCarthy of Wisconsin

who was Eugene McCarthys opposite in more ways than one), campaigned

on a platform of opposition to the Vietnam War in 1968, a war that

McCarthy called: Illegal, Immoral, and unconstitutional. Two weeks

later Dr. King was murdered in Memphis. Had he lived he would have

gone on to campaign for McCarthy, who was 7 points ahead of Nixon in

the polls. With Dr. King by his side McCarthy would have gone on to

be

nominated by the Democratic Party in 1968 and elected President in

November 1968. Robert F. Kennedy would have ended his campaign and

joined with Gene McCarthy and Dr. King to end the war. Instead Dr.

Kings murder caused disunity in the Democratic Party. Bobby Kennedy

sought the Democratic Presidential nomination, only to be murdered

himself on June 4th, 1968 2 months to the day after Dr. King was

murdered. June 4th, 1968 was also the first anniversary of the Six-

Day

War. As the US Senator from New York State, a state that McCarthy

would have carried handily in the June 1968 Democratic Primary, Bobby

Kennedy would have to have obeyed the wishes of the people of his

state and dropped out of the Presidential race after that primary and

endorsed Gene McCarthy. But the primary came after Bobby Kennedy had

been killed. Beating a dead Bobby Kennedy was no victory. Not having

a

live Bobby Kennedy on hand to concede defeat and endorse Gene

McCarthy

meant that Hubert Humphrey, a supporter of the war in Vietnam, would

go on to become the Democratic Presidential nominee, only to lose to

Richard M. Nixon in November of 1968. Thus the war in Vietnam would

continue no matter who, Humphrey, or Nixon, won. Keeping America

tied down in Vietnam was essential for Israel's arab enemies who

hoped that America would be reluctant to come to Israel's aid when

the eventual arab attack came.

That attack came on October 6th, 1973, with a Pearl Harbor surprise

attack on the Holiest Day in Judaism, Yom Kippur. The arab attackers

however, had failed to comprehend that President Nixon would come to

the aid of Israel.

Sadat was assassinated, it seems to us, on the orders of Saddam

Hussein on the 8th anniversary to the day of the Yom Kippur War,

October 6th, 1981, for his failure to defeat Israel in that war.

Saddam used the same gang, Sheik Rahman's gang, which he would later

use to hit the Speaker of the Egyptian Parliament when Egypt sided

with America in the Gulf War, the same gang would later be used by

Saddam for the first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993.

"The World Trade Center bombers managed to vaporize President

Clinton's limo. President Clinton was scheduled for an appearance

at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey the following

Monday, but he could easily have chosen to spend the weekend in

Manhattan or nearby New Jersey with friends in either location. So

he could have been at the World Trade Center on the Friday it was

bombed. the World Trade Center in Manhattan which had a heliport .

Clinton

would have presumably taken a chopper to that heliport, gone down to

the basement, gotten into his limo and then someone on site would

have

detonated the van blowing the limo up with Clinton inside it. Iraq

may well have had a hand in this as another key member of that gang

is

said to have escaped to Iraq using documents provided by

Iraq. During the Gulf War the same gang killed the Speaker of the

Egyptian Parliament when Egypt broke ranks with Iraq over the

invasion

of Kuwait. The same gang is alleged to have assassinated Sadat.More

than likely, like the attempt on the

life of Al Haig when he was at NATO some years back, or the hit on

some important Russians in Chechnya , the World Trade Center bomb

could have been remote controlled. "The first battle of the first

war of

the twenty-first century began and ended in under 30 seconds

sometime after 12:18 on the afternoon of Friday, February 26th,

1993, with the detonation of a relatively small explosive device

that took out four levels of parking garage beneath New York City's

World Trade Center- some people made note of the fact that the

limousine President Clinton uses when in New York was berthed in the

garage where the bomb was detonated. OSAMA BIN LADEN BIDES HIS TIME;

TO STRIKE THE USA AGAIN US airmen. There is also evidence that bin

Laden may had been connected to the February 1993 bombing of the

World Trade Center in New York City that killed six."

have been moved from their cells to the recreation area. "They talk

about innocuous things like the movies," Kleinman said. "They don't

The Philippines is the basis an interesting link between Ramsey

Yousef

and the bombing of the World Trade Center, Terry Nichols and the

bombing of the Murrah Building, Osama bin Laden. April 25, 1997

Electronic Telegraph Issue 700 A prosecutor in Denver said yesterday

that the "hate-filled" mastermind of the bombing in Oklahoma City

that

killed 168 people was involved in a Right-wing plot . McVeigh's

lawyer, Stephen Jones, is expected to suggest that a foreign

government, "probably Iraq" hired "a Middle Eastern bombing engineer"

to detonate the explosion with the help of neo-Nazis. In a court

petition, lawyers say the attack was "contracted out" through an

Iraqi

base in the Philippines and it was "possible that those who carried

out the bombing were unaware of the true sponsor". Was Stephen Jones

on the right track and what was behind the evidence he wanted to

introduce into the McVeigh trial but could not Some clues may lie in

another link with the Phillipines that involved McVeigh's

co-conspirator Terry Nichols November 22, 1994 (See NY Times

December 24, 1997) Terry Nichols left for a 59 day stay in the

Phillipines. He left letters, with his ex-wife, Lana Padilla,

explaining what to do in case he died. Three days after he returned

on

January 16, 1995, he was sharing a motel room in Kansas with Mr.

Mc.Veigh. What was the purpose of this visit Why was he so concerned

that he might die Did he meet with Ramsey Yousef, who at the same

time was testing a plan to blow up airliners in the Philippines and

who was later convicted in the bombing of the World Trade Center Did

Nichols receive training there on how to construct and detonate large

bombs Was he fearful that there could be an accident during his

training December, 1994 (See TIME magazine July 29, 1996) Ramsey

Yousef tests his plan for attacking U.S. carriers by boarding a

Philippine Airlines flight on the first leg from the Philippines to

Japan. He carried with him the components of a bomb, unassembled in

his carry-on bag. On board he assembled the bomb, which was made of

gun cotton, a nitroglycerine solution packed into a contact-lens

bottle. He tucked the bomb under a cushion and left the plane after

its first stop in the Philippine city of Cebu. Two hours later the

device exploded killing a passenger. Cebu is the city where in July

1990 Nichols travelled to find a mail-order bride and met Marife

Torres. He was 35, she was 17 and they were married there on November

20, 1990. (NY Times December 24, 1997) An associate of Ramsey Yousef,

Edwin Angeles, had been arrested in the Phillipines where he was

contacted by McVeigh's attorney, Stephen Jones. Angeles linked

Nichols

(a.k.a. `the farmer') to Yousef in a meeting on the island of

Mindanao. In his book `Others Unknown', Jones describes that at a

meeting in Davao, Angeles met an American who introduced himself as

`the farmer'. Among those present at the meeting were Ramsey Yousef,

Abdul Hakim Murad, and Wali Khan Amin Shah. The meeting was to

discuss

terrorism and Murad, Khan and Yousef would later be defendants in the

plot to blow up twelve U.S. airliners. All were convicted on

September

5, 1996 and are in American prisons. On April 19, 1995, Murad told

his guard in his New York cell that the Oklahoma city bombing was the

work of Islamic Jihad. But back to Yousef and the World Trade Center

bombing where we find a link also between him and Iraq .September 15,

1996 The Telegraph (U.K. Electronic Edition) Issue 480 According

to Dr Mylroie, the attempt to blow up the twin towers of the World

Trade Centre in New York on February 26, 1993 .... was an act of

Iraqi

state- sponsored terrorism conducted by proxies. After studying the

telephone records and document archives from the trial, she has

concluded that the mastermind said to be behind the bombing, a

shadowy

figure called Ramsi Yousef, was working for Iraqi intelligence. The

Justice Department did not address this issue in the official

investigation. It concluded that the bombing was the work of Islamic

fundamentalists loyal to a blind Egyptian cleric. Jim Fox, then head

of the New York FBI office, suspected Iraqi involvement but says that

the Washington headquarters refused to look at the evidence. June 3,

1997 Electronic Telegraph Issue 739 Painted by prosecutors as a

fanatical bomber obsessed with a warped sense of patriotism, Timothy

McVeigh, convicted of the Oklahoma bombing, gave his attorneys no

help

in establishing an alibi.... Judge Richard Matsch kept a tight hold

on

the trial,the judge refused to allow Stephen Jones, McVeigh's lawyer,

to present an alternative theory, gathered after spending $10 million

travelling the world, that an international conspiracy was

responsible. Many of the victim's relatives are so concerned at

evidence of this aspect that they are suing the government, insisting

that the FBI had prior knowledge of the blast. March 30, 1997

Electronic Telegraph Issue 674 Dennis Mahon must lead a charmed life.

The FBI has pursued endless leads into the 1995 Oklahoma bombing,

collecting more than 26,000 witness statements. But it has never been

to visit him at his bungalow in Tulsa. The omission is curious.

Mahon,

47, is an associate of the government's chief suspect, Tim McVeigh.

Indeed, McVeigh's defence team says Mahon sent a tape to their client

in prison urging him to accept his "sacrifice" and reminding him in a

subtle way that members of his family were vulnerable. Before the

bombing on April 19, 1995, he was the subject of a terrorism

investigation which generated allegations that he was plotting to

blow

up a federal building in Oklahoma. In case the authorities had

overlooked this, an undercover informant reminded the FBI two days

after the bombing that she had told them that Mahon had made three

trips to Oklahoma City. On one visit in 1994, the informant said he

"cased" the building that was attacked. A former Imperial Wizard of

the Ku Klux Klan and now a leader of the more militant White Aryan

Resistance, Mahon has never made a secret of his extremism. He has

called for the overthrow of the United States government by "any

means" and regards it as an honour to have been barred from Britain

and Canada. "I always deliver my bombs in person, in disguise," he

said mischievously. "I can look like a hispanic or even a Negro. I'm

the master of disguise." He has kept his sense of humour, despite

being the chief target of McVeigh's defence team in the trial that

starts tomorrow. McVeigh's lawyers have introduced documents in court

asserting a "high probability" that Mahon and his friend Andreas

Strassmeir, a former German army officer, were behind the Oklahoma

bombing. "This is where I make my bombs," he said, giving me a tour

of

a workshop attached to his house. "Just kidding. Everybody seems to

think I did the bombing. Even the Iraqis think I did it," he

explained, saying he had been on the Iraqi payroll as a propagandist

for more than three years. "They paid me $100 a month."

terrorists-the Oklahoma City bomber, the Unabomer, and the World

Trade

Center bomber-are allowed out of solitary confinement so that they

can

have one hour of exercise in the nation's

most secure Federal prison, what do they do Apparently, they just

chat Timothy J. McVeigh convicted of carrying out the Oklahoma City

bombing, while Ramzi Ahmed Yousef is a Muslim terrorist who

masterminded the World Trade Center attack. The prison, the United

States Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence,

Colo., is so secure that it is known as Super Max. McVeigh, Kaczynski

and Yousef, who are otherwise allowed no contact with each other, are

permitted to spend their one-hour exercise period in separate cages

in

the prison yard, speaking to each other through mesh fences. Because

of their distance from each other, they must speak loudly, so guards

can hear what they say. ... Lawrence K. Feitell, wrote to the judge

that he had seen on a television news program that McVeigh, Kaczynski

and Yousef were allowed to have their daily exercise chats in the

prison yard. He asked that Felipe be allowed "to share" with the

three

"in their outdoor mutual recreation." ..... Precisely what the

inmates

discuss through the prison fence is not known. Yousef's lawyer,

Bernard V. Kleinman, said by phone that his client has had

conversations with McVeigh through the fence and also as they have

been moved from their cells to the recreation area. "They talk about

innocuous things like the movies," Kleinman said. "They don't talk

about anything that they shouldn't be talking about." The FBI refuses

to accept the evidence March 21, 2001 WorldNet Daily

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.aspARTICLE_ID=22122

A former investigative reporter for the NBC affiliate in Oklahoma

City

last night told Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly she has gathered

massive evidence of a foreign conspiracy involving Saudi terrorist

leader Osama bin Laden in the 1995 bombing of the federal building

that killed 168 people. Jayna Davis, former reporter for KFOR-TV in

Oklahoma City, says she took her evidence-including hundreds of court

records, 24 sworn witness statements and reports from law

enforcement,

intelligence and terror experts-to the FBI, which refused even to

accept the material. Two men were convicted of murder and conspiracy

charges in the bombing-Timothy McVeigh, who faces execution May 16,

and Terry Nichols, who yesterday asked that Oklahoma charges against

him be dismissed as he has already been convicted in federal court.

Nichols, 45, is serving a life prison sentence for his federal

conviction on eight involuntary manslaughter counts and conspiracy

for

the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.

State prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Nichols. But

defense attorneys said yesterday constitutional protection against

double jeopardy bars the state from seeking the death penalty. Davis

said federal authorities investigating the bombing decided early on

in

the probe that the blast was the result of a domestic conspiracy, not

a foreign one, ignoring all evidence to the contrary. She said a

Middle East terrorist cell was in operation only blocks from the

federal building, and that an Iraqi national who formerly served in

Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard was in contact with McVeigh the day

of the bombing. She said this suspect arrived at the crime scene in a

Ryder truck moments before the blast and sped away in a brown

Chevrolet pickup truck immediately after. An all-points bulletin was

issued for this suspect, but was later withdrawn inexplicably. Davis

said her evidence indicates a conspiracy involving McVeigh, Nichols

and at least seven men of Middle Eastern ethnic background. She

called

bin Laden the mastermind of the conspiracy. "The evidence we have

gathered definitely implicates McVeigh and Nichols," she said. "I

want

to make that very clear. They were in it up to their eyeballs."

Davis

also points to court records offered in the Nichols defense that

suggest he had contacts with a member of bin Laden's terrorist

organization in the Philippines prior to the bombing. When she took

her hundreds of pages of documentation of conspiracy in the bombing

to

the FBI, Davis said agents "turned me away and refused to take my

statements." "I was flabbergasted," she told O'Reilly. "I am unable

to imagine any reason they would not accept it." But McVeigh supplies

strange hints to both Osama bin Laden and Ramsey Yousef Friday, April

27, 2001 1:41 a.m. EDT NewsMax.com A month after a former NBC News

reporter went public with evidence of links between Oklahoma City

bomber Timothy McVeigh and Middle Eastern terrorist Osama bin Laden,

McVeigh himself has cited bin Laden in a letter to the Fox News

Channel., McVeigh -tossed in the chilling reference to the notorious

Muslim terrorist. McVeigh mentioned convicted World Trade Center

bomber Ramzi Yousef, in perhaps another indication of a Middle

Eastern

connection to his own crime. "For all else, I would refer you to my

enclosed paper `Hypocrisy,' and to Ramzi Yousef's statement to the

court just prior to his sentencing. I filter all labels and insults

thusly." In the Jan. 8, 1998, court statement to which McVeigh

referred, Yousef proclaimed, "Yes, I am a terrorist and proud of it

as

long as it is against the U.S. government," before being sentenced to

240 years in jail.Last month former NBC reporter Jayna Davis told Fox

News Channel's Bill O'Reilly that compelling evidence links McVeigh

to

a Middle Eastern terrorist cell ultimately controlled by bin Laden.

"What we discovered, an intelligence source at one of the highest

levels in the federal government later confirmed, was a Middle

Eastern

terrorist cell living and operating in the heart of Oklahoma City

just

a few miles from the Alfred P. Murrah building," Davis said. Her NBC

affiliate had located several witnesses who claimed that an Iraqi

national with ties to Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard was seen in

the company of McVeigh just prior to the bombing, Davis said. The

Iraqi was also seen driving away from the bomb scene in a car

identified by the FBI as a possible getaway vehicle. "We have 24

sworn

witness affidavits that tie seven to eight Arab men to various stages

of the bombing plot from the beginning all the way to the day in

which

the plot was executed," the former NBC reporter told O'Reilly. "It

really is a foreign conspiracy masterminded and funded by Osama bin

Laden, according to my intelligence sources," she asserted. Davis is

not alone in that belief. In his 1999 book on the Oklahoma City

tragedy, "Others Unknown," McVeigh's lawyer Stephen Jones made

similar

claims, citing a meeting in the early 1990s between World Trade

Center

bomber Yousef and McVeigh's partner, Terry Nichols, in the

Philippines, which he called a "hotbed of fundamentalist Muslim

activity." Jones said his research shows that bin Laden was in the

Philippines at the same time as Yousef and Nichols. Both Jones and

Davis said federal investigators were uninterested in exploring any

possible Middle Eastern connection to the crime. [For further details

`Others Unknown' by Stephen Jones.]"

"The one Army link established in the case so far is the bond shared

by McVeigh and Terry Nichols. The two men joined up on the same day

in

May 1988 and went through basic training together at Fort Benning,

Georgia. They were then stationed together in the same company at

Fort

Riley enter Iraq during the Gulf War. Nichols was discharged for

undisclosed reasons in May 1989, but McVeigh rose to sergeant and

went

on to serve in Operation Desert Storm, where he won several medals,

including a Bronze Star. Although the awards were described by

Pentagon officials as "typical" for those who served in the theater,

one

officer notes, "Some captains and majors didn't get Bronze Stars, so

he must have been a half-decent soldier." That is an understatement,

says Robin Littleton, McVeigh's army roommate and one of his closest

friends in the service. "Tim was the perfect soldier," Littleton told

Time. "I swear to God he could have been sergeant major of the Army -

he was that good of a soldier." One of his former commanders, Captain

Terry Guild, 28, now stationed in Hawaii, agrees: "He was a very

normal, good American serving his country." according to the

Anti-Defamation League last week, McVeigh in 1993 ran an ad to sell a

military launcher in the Spotlight, a publication put out by the

right-wing Liberty Lobby. Though the notice ran under an alias, T.

Tuttle, it listed a Kingman address, and authorities say McVeigh has

been known to use Tuttle as an alias."

Tuttle, it should be noted is the fictional character from the cult

film "Brazil".

On the eve of the anniversary of the assassination of Senator Robert

F. Kennedy on the night of June 4th, 1968, which itself was the

first anniversary of the Six Day War, in which Israel re-united

Jerusalem, and liberated Judea and Samaria from arab despotism,

Canada has arrested "alleged" terrorists with "alleged" links to

international arab terrorists.

Moreover the "alleged" terrorists arrested by Canada

were "allegedly" planning to use the same type of explosive

concoctions used in other terrorist attacks, including the Iraqi

sponsored attack on the Oklahoma City Federal Building which housed

the records of the Iran-Contra scandal which tied Saddam Hussein to

George Herbert Walker Bush and would have proven to be an

embarrassment to Saddam in the arab world. In the Iran-Iraq War then

Vice President George Herbert Walker Bush sent messages to Saddam

telling him to start bombing Iran. The following weekend Saddam

conducted 300 to 400 bombing attacks on Iran, which was then

approached by the U.S. with an offer of missiles to protect itself

from Saddam. Thus began the Iran-Contra scandal which culminated in

the indictment of former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger at the

Oklahoma City Federal Building on election eve 1992.

The same type of explosive concoction was also used in the first

bombing of the World Trade Center on February 26th, 1993, which was

the 2nd anniversary to the day of the liberation of Kuwait City in

the 1991 Gulf War and the eleventh anniversary to the day of the

infamous and highly incorrect declaration on February 26th, 1982,

that Iraq was no longer a state sponsor of terror, and was thus

eligible for U.S. grants and "loans", which it subsequently received.
