- How Much Do You Trust Henry?
-
- Ladies and Gentlemen,
-
- Our lord and emperor George W. Bush has just tied together
the entire ball of 9/11 lies and related wax, stuck a wick in it, and handed
us the match. He has done so by appointing Henry Kissinger chairman of
the long-awaited "independent" commission to investigate the
Sept. 11 attacks.
-
- To all those who want the unvarnished truth about the
"Attack on America," starting with the families of the victims,
this would have been a slap in the face - were it not so laughable.
-
- Sequel to the Warren Commission
-
- The resident of the White House was explicit in stating
that the commission is not supposed to actually investigate anything about
9/11. Wrote the Associated Press, "Bush did not set as a primary goal
for Kissinger to uncover mistakes or lapses of the government that could
have prevented the Sept. 11 attacks."
-
- So what is Henry supposed to actually do? "Instead,
[Bush] said the panel should try to help the administration learn the tactics
and motives of the enemy."
-
- Aha. In other words, the panel is supposed to produce
more scary stories about what the freedom-hating evildoers are planning
to do to us next. Sounds like overkill: Isn't that what every department
of the administration is already doing?
-
- The Kissinger commission is being called to life nearly
15 months after the attacks. The White House refused to sign off on the
investigative body, until Congress agreed to its conditions. The panel
can issue subpoenas only if the Republican members agree. In the polite
words of Stephen Push, a leader of the 9/11 families ("Families of
September 11," http://www.familiesofseptember11.org), the commission
concept is simply "too weak."

-
- So far, no surprise. For fifteen months, Bush and Cheney
have repeatedly acted to delay the calling of an independent 9/11 investigation.
They have tried to stop the release of any information about the attacks
- let alone about their level of prior knowledge! And they have otherwise
established the most secretive administration in modern American history.
-
- But Henry Kissinger? Now that is a surprise!
-
- Who could have imagined that the Bush regime would so
obviously expose themselves to ridicule by appointing one of the world's
best-known war criminals, terrorist masterminds, and professional liars
as the head of a New Warren Commission?
-
- Highlights of Dr. Kissinger's Career
-
- Kissinger's name seems to be magically entwined with
the date of Sept. 11th. As national security adviser and secretary of state
in the Nixon administration, he helped engineer the CIA coup that overthrew
the elected government of Chile, on Sept. 11, 1973. For a detailed account
of that atrocity - the original Sept. 11th attack - see:
-
- http://www.osamaskidneys.com/history.html#1973
-
- In a famous comment on Chile at a 1970 White House meeting,
Kissinger made no secret of his utter contempt for democratic government:
"I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist
due to the irresponsibility of its own people," he said.
-
- Now everyone remembers where they were on the morning
of Sept. 11, 2001, though we know precious little about how and why the
horrible crimes of that day were allowed to happen. But who knows that
on the same morning, a federal suit was being filed against Dr. Kissinger
by relatives of one of his countless victims?

- "Family of Slain Chilean Sues Kissinger, Helms -
Military Leader Was Killed in Kidnap Attempt Linked to Nixon Administration"
By Bill Miller, Washington Post, September 11, 2001 http://www.ratical.org/ratville/KHsuedOn911.html
-
- As a direct result of the Pinochet coup, at least 3,000
Chilean civilians were "disappeared" and assassinated. As horrible
as that was, Kissinger has been involved in even worse crimes.
-
- As Nixon's national security adviser, Kissinger helped
plan the "secret" bombing of Cambodia during the Vietnam War.
Hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed in this unprovoked action
against a neutral state. The bombing destabilized the U.S.-backed Cambodian
government, paving the way for the later takeover of that country by the
Khmer Rouge.
-
- But hey, let's not let mass murder detract from the man's
achievements. In 1973, Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize for reaching
a deal to end the U.S. invasion of Vietnam.
-
- The Nixon government had at first refused the Paris peace
deal with North Vietnam. Instead, it chose to level Hanoi in a massive
Christmas 1972 bombing, leaving nothing there but dust. A few months later,
Nixon and Kissinger accepted the same deal, with minor changes. Now that's
how you win a peace prize!
-
- Kissinger was the only major cabinet member who miraculously
survived the subsequent fall of the Nixon regime. He remained Secretary
of State under the appointed Un-president, Gerald Ford. (Ford was the first
"president" to not have even run in a presidential election,
so there was no need to actually steal it.)
-
- Okay, class. Anyone remember who the other key players
in the 2-1/2 year Ford administration were?
-
- Vice President: Nelson Rockefeller, brother of David.
-
- Chief of Staff: Dick Cheney.
-
- Secretary of Defense: Donald Rumsfeld.
-
- Director of Central Intelligence: George Herbert Walker
Bush.
-
- Hmmm...
-
- Papa Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Kissinger. Sound familiar?
Today, the same four men run the regime of the Idiot Prince.
-
- Now *there* is a story for the historians of the future!
Papa Bush apparently cut some nice deals with his CIA boys at the time,
and in gratitude the agency later named its new headquarters the "George
Herbert Walker Bush Building." We'll leave the rest of the Papa Bush
story aside for today, though it may surpass even Kissinger's for sheer
criminality. Today is Henry's day.
-
- In 1973, while still with the Nixon administration, Kissinger
became one of the founding fathers of the Trilateral Commission, together
with Zbigniew Brzezinski and David Rockefeller, brother of Nelson. This
association of billionaires, business leaders, academics and politicians
was brought together by the three men in an effort to arm the global elites
of the U.S., Europe and Japan against what at the time seemed like an unprecedented
social and economic crisis. The Trilateral Commission has continued to
meet annually ever since.
-
- In 1975, Kissinger travelled with Ford to Indonesia,
where they met with the U.S.-backed and U.S.-armed dictator Suharto, who
oversaw the killing of millions during his 35-year reign. The day after
Ford and Henry left, Indonesian forces invaded the independent territory
of East Timor.
-
- One-third of the territory's population was exterminated
during the subsequent 20-year occupation, but this had little impact on
continuing American and Western arms shipments to the regime in Jakarta.
Recently released documents establish that Suharto received a green light
for the invasion from the President and Secretary of State, and that's
Henry.
-
- The 9/11 panel will not be the first "Kissinger
Commission." In the early 1980s, under the Reagan-Bush administration,
Henry was called to lead an investigation of U.S. policy in Central America.
They provided the whitewash for the death squads that U.S. forces had armed
and trained in El Salvador and Honduras, and for the "Contra"
army that was organized by the CIA to invade Nicaragua.
-
- Since then, the doctor has lived more quietly as the
head of Kissinger Associates, which provides "consultancy" (door-opening)
for oil and arms deals and much else besides, and which counts among its
clients the U.S. government, NATO, many corporations, and foreign countries
like China and Central Asia.
-
- French prosecutors paid a surprise visit to Kissinger's
Paris hotel suite in 2001, questioning him with regard to the war crimes
charges that they would have been required to level under French law. They
let him go his way, but henceforth, Henry will have to be a touch more
discreet when strolling along the banks of the Seine.
-
- 2001 saw the publication of Christopher Hitchens's book,
"The Trial of Henry Kissinger." Released in 2002, an eponymous
documentary details the man's horrific and astonishing crimes. Couldn't
Bush have found anyone less conspicuous, or less farcical, to wash his
dirty laundry? One can only conclude that this was the only man the White
House knew they could trust. If you want to cover something up, better
pick someone with tons of his own dirt to hide.
-
- Kissinger's appointment is an act of tremendous hubris
- or else of absolute desperation. Is the official story of the 9/11 attacks
really so wobbly that the regime must resort to hiring him?
-
- He brought death squads to Chile in 1973. He covered
up death squads in Central America in the 1980s. And now should we expect
him to tell us the full story of how the CIA helped create Osama Binladin's
death squads? Is this guy who is going to explore why the Air Force was
stood down, or why and how so many FBI agents were blocked from investigating
reports that terror pilots had infiltrated the United States? Or is Kissinger
going to tell us why George W. Bush killed the FBI investigations into
the Binladin family's connections to terrorism in early 2001?
-
- Seriously. We can really have a field day with this.
-
- But dangers lurk. Kissinger's appointment is the latest
signal of an absolute and open intent to play HARDBALL. Let us all beware
what sudden "surprises" are in store during the next days and
months.
-
- Kissinger features prominently within the "Defense
Policy Board" run by Paul Wolfowitz at the Pentagon, which also includes
veteran warheads Richard Perle and Newt Gingrich.
-
- These men, termed the "Wolfowitz Cabal" by
no less a personage than Colin Powell, are the Supreme Chickenhawks of
the War Party. For years they have individually and collectively called
for the (further) destruction of Iraq and, depending on their mood, preemptive
war with Iran, Syria, North Korea - you name it. At a meeting earlier this
year, they declared Saudi Arabia the real enemy, and considered the option
of taking out the Saudis right after the planned war in Iraq. The powerpoint
presentation viewed by the group on that day concluded with the following
grand strategy for the upcoming war: "Iraq is the tactical pivot,
Saudi Arabia the strategic pivot, Egypt the prize."

-
- On Sept. 11, 2001, as though that day was not bad enough
for all of us, Kissinger, who was in Berlin, called in to CNN during the
attacks. He basically argued that the attacks fully justified any American
response whatsoever. The next day, he wrote that the U.S. had every right
to destroy states that "harbor people who have the capability to do
something like this," emphasizing that it made no difference whether
these states actually had anything to do with the Sept. 11 attacks or not.
-
- So watch out for sudden revelations about the alleged
9/11 hijackers that "prove" both Saudi Arabia and Iraq (or any
other country) must immediately be crushed. The groundwork for such an
attack, should the regime decide to go with it, has been prepared during
the last weeks with the sudden "discovery" of Saudi financing
of terrorism - something that never bothered the Bushes before 9/11, of
course.
-
- May fortune and God only give us enough time to work
on this, and we the people will peacefully bring down this regime. Appointing
Kissinger could turn out to be their greatest blunder. Perhaps it will
finally awaken the antiwar movement to the continuing importance of learning
the full truth of 9/11. No doubt many of the antiwar organizers can well
remember the early 1970s, when their protests against the Vietnam War were
directed at none other than: Henry Kissinger. Why has he of all people
been given the 9/11 job?
-
- We need to gather everything known about this man and
throw it hard and wide, until the whole sham of the investigation is exposed.
If we are given enough time, and still fail to bring this house of lies
crashing down, it will have been our own fault.

- Strength and best wishes to you all,
