- It's been called "The Smoking Gun" memo. Its
latest moniker is "The Downing Street Memo." For those not in
the know, which would, of course, be well over 90 percent of Americans,
it is necessary to briefly restate the magnitude of this piece of irrefutable,
hard fact evidence that the Bush administration and its obedient media
are so desperately trying to cover up. It is this document which presents
irrefutable evidence that the Bush administration wasn't fooled by "bad
intelligence" culminating in the unconstitutional invasion of Iraq,
but that Bush launched the drive specifically to create this bad intelligence
to initiate the war with Iraq.
-
- For were this vital fact concerning the United States'
illegal, immoral, unjust and unconstitutional invasion and war on Iraq
ever to come to the attention of the American public, Bush would be impeached.
-
- The public outcry would be enormous. Families of Iraq
veterans would become increasingly more receptive to other facts involving
this Mid East debacle, plotted and initiated to give total military and
economic supremacy to Israel in this oil-rich, economically vital part
of the globe.
-
- And those other facts include the mounting evidence that
while 9-11 was indeed a terrorist plot, it was carried out via the massive
technical and defense system support involving our own government and the
Bush administration, and executed by our own CIA and Israeli intelligence.
For why, if this were limited only to the astonishing creativity demonstrated
by the simultaneous multi hijackings of four aircraft, conveniently laden
with maximum supplies of jet fuel, and culminating in unexpected suicide
strikes, would traces of explosives be found in the van of the five celebrating photographers
who were later identified as agents of Israeli intelligence? Why were they
held for a brief period, and then secretly spirited out of the country
and then sent back to Israel?
-
- Why were over one hundred of Osama bin Laden's relatives
immediately and secretly spirited out of the country right after 9-11?
And recall the Bush
family ties to the bin Laden family relative to both the Carlyle Group
and oil interests; and even the connection
between 9-11 Commission Chairman Thomas Kean and oil business partner,
Khalid bin Mahfouz, Osama's brother-in-law. Think of how easily this cursory
collection of connective dots would become germane if tied to the Downing
Street Memo.
-
- The momentum of that revelation to the American people
would soar to untold heights of healing for America's body politic, identifying
Congressman John Conyers of Michigan, as the only one in America that hung
tough, and with his 88 other Democratic supporters, bringing down the most
corrupt, deadly, and world-threatening regime that ever existed.
-
- The more the Memo is discussed, the more courage would
be produced, courage to challenge ALL the lies of the Bush administration,
including 9-11 itself! It's out there, the evidence of the monumental lies,
fraud and deadly propaganda, and covered and reported by such magnificently
courageous lead blocker true journalistic entities as Jeff Rense, Alex
Jones, American Free Press, Information Clearing House, and so on.
-
- If you want real news, these are the websites that offer
it. Want to know which websites to avoid? Simple! Avoid all those sites,
that just like the New York Times, Washington Post and network and cable
TV news, refuse to even mention this blockbuster bombshell. And avoid especially
those Bush-friendly sites that are desperately attempting to provoke their
audience into favoring an invasion of Iran to get those "mad nuclear-crazed
mullahs." This is merely yellow "journalism" at its worst.
-
- Clearly, "mum" is the word. Thank God for those
with the courage to stand by their journalistic code of ethics and who
consistently berate their own. I never liked "wise guy" Jeff
Cohen when I was a Republican doofus in the Rush Limbaugh tradition. I
always figured him for one of those "lefty" Clinton sycophants.
Boy, how things do change.
-
- Congressman Conyers has brought the Downing Street Memo
right into view within the United States Congress; and Jeff Cohen, one
of Limbaugh's dreaded "liberal" media denizens, and founder of
Fairness and Accuracy
in Reporting, continues to hammer away at his own element: the freedom-stifling press.
-
- Bush and his media know that Mr. and Mrs. America's collective
public memory is short-lived. And by keeping something from view, and hoping
and agonizing for the passage of time, all will be forgotten, and the public
will have neither will nor curiosity. Not this time! Conyers
and Cohen have laid the necessary groundwork. Now, it's up to US!

- Dear Jeff:
-
- The article makes the following statement:
-
- And recall the Bush family ties to the bin Laden family
relative to both the Carlyle Group and oil interests; and even the connection
between 9-11 Commission Chairman Thomas Kean and oil business partner,
Khalid bin Mahfouz, Osama's brother-in-law.
-
- The link for the "connection" is
- http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO212A.html.
- Following that link now leads to the following:
-
- Apology to Sheik Khalid bin Mahfouz
-
- In 2002, Professor Chossudovsky wrote and Global Outlook
published a book entitled "War and Globalisation, The Truth behind
September 11|". Also in 2002, Professor Chossudovsky wrote and Global
Outlook published an article entitled "New Chairman of 9/11 Commission
had business Ties to Osama's Brother in Law".
-
- This book and article were in part based on testimony
by former CIA Director James Woolsey to a Senate Committee in 1998, who
stated that Sheik Khalid bin Mahfouz' younger sister was married to Osama
bin Laden (US Senate Judiciary Committee, Federal News Service, 3 Sept
1998).
-
- Subsequently, however, Mr. Woolsey has on multiple occasions
explained that his testimony has been misconstrued and he never intended
to refer to Sheik Khalid bin Mahfouz. This error has also been acknowledged
by several leading publications including the Washington Post and the Wall
Street Journal. Professor Chossudovsky and Global Outlook having taken
cognizance of these facts, hereby issue the following apology to Sheik
Khalid bin Mahfouz and his family.
-
- Sheik Khalid bin Mahfouz is not the brother in law of
Osama bin Laden, is not a close associate of Osama bin Laden and has never
supported terrorism. It was further wrongly alleged that Sheihk Khalid
bin Mahfouz was part owner of Delta Oil Limited. We accept that Sheikh
Khalid bin Mahfouz and his family abhor terrorism. We also apologise to
Sheik Khalid bin Mahfouz for the distress and embarrassment caused by the
publication of the book and the article.
-
- I point this out not to discredit the basic premises
of the article, but just to point out the change that has occurred at the
site - for whatever reason. Sometimes articles are honestly wrong (referring
to the original "connection" article). Sometimes they are purposefully
wrong in the hopes that good points/articles can be discredited based upon
support provided by planted/incorrect articles. Who know which one this
was.
-
- God Bless,
- Rob Russell
