"Former South African resistance leader and President, Nelson Mandela,
announced a high-profile and deeply considered "about-face on bin Laden,"
reported first on South Africa's News24 television on New Year's Day.
Mandela repudiated and apologized for his former, controversial statement
holding Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda responsible for the attacks, as "one-sided
and over-stated." He said he would be arranging meetings with Muslim leaders in
South Africa to personally convey this messageā"called by News24 a "highly
unusual" reversal of view by the most widely respected of African leaders. "We
are also writing to President Bush," Mandela announced, "to appropriately
qualify the view we previously expressed to him in person and in
correspondence." ***********************************************
According to people like Dick Eastman and others there were four goals that
the 911 attacks were meant to accomplish. The four goals were:
1. Gain control of $6 trillion worth of oil and natural gas in central Asia.
This oil is associated with the Caspian Sea and the countries surrounding it
where pipelines are to be laid.
2. Win back support for the increasingly unpopular Sharonist policies in
Israel and provide a basis for a mass invasion of occupied Palestine.
3. Allow certain people to profit from the opium trade of the Northern
Alliance druglords and the money-laundering through global investment channels
that the opium trade and the derivative heroin trade supports. If you noticed
that during the rule of the Taliban the opium trade nearly disappeared. As soon
as the Northern Alliance were put back into power the trade picked up again.
4. Clear people arraigned before a grand jury on charges of fixing gold
prices, illegal involvement in oil swaps between Kazakhstan and (sanctioned)
Iran, and bribery in cases where all incriminating documentary evidence was
stored in FBI files and data banks in one of the twin towers of the WTC.
I want to add a fifth goal that was not mentioned:
5. Start a war between Christianity and Islam by blaming the religion of
Islam for the 911 incident and terrorist acts throughout the world.
Analysis:
With the placement of the puppet government in Afghanistan and ex-Unocal
Adviser Hamid Karzi as head, with U.S. troops firmly in place in Central Asian
countries like Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Republic of Georgia and
others, with the American people giving Bush the green light for a "war on
terrorism" which is really a war for oil I would say that goal number one is
accomplished and is successfully being exploited. Bush's "oil patch" people like
Condoleeza Rice, Cheney, and Khalilzad are poised and ready to go after the
multi-trillion dollar deal. So on a whole, goal one is proceeding with success.
Goals 3 and 4 are also successful. Opium production has increased as a result
of eliminating the Taliban and Alan Greenspan and others are not being
implicated for any money scams. Recently it has been reported that Afghanistan
has recaptured the title as the world's number one Opium producer. Goal 2
although accomplished did not achieve the results expected.
Yes...under the pretense of fighting terrorism, the Israelis were able to
conduct a mass invasion into Palestinian villages. This was their payment for
the role they played in helping to ignite the 911 attacks that triggered and
gave the justification for all of the four goals above to be acted upon. Let's
not forget also the role they played in controlling the media to keep the finger
pointed at Bin Laden and not allow any intelligent scrutinization to go on. The
fallout the Israelis are receiving may be less than what was expected by them.
They felt that the 911 attacks would so enrage Americans and the world that
everyone will be in an uproar and would support whatever heinous actions the
Israelis would do against the Palestinian "terrorists." Except for the Christian
Zionists and ignorant, uninformed Americans the world has joined in unison to
condemn them. In the court of world opinion the Israelis are no better off today
than they were before the 911 attacks and the condemnation in Durban, South
Africa of Zionism as racism. So yes they got their invasion into the Palestinian
territory but they are still seen as being ugly to the rest of the world.
Goal number 5 is actively being pursued. Christian Zionists and members in
government have openly declared Islam as the enemy. They have started a huge
smear campaign in print and in the media to discredit the Quran, Prophet
Muhammad and all Muslims. They have even openly admitted that they will also lie
to accomplish their goals. Innocent Muslims are being harrassed and locked up
for no reason under the powers granted by the Patriot Act. Warlike declarations
from leaders in religion and government are being made against Muslims and
Muslim nations. Lately one of the leading Preachers in Christianity has publicly
called the Prophet of Islam a terrorist. Despite the huge onslaught on Islam,
the religion continues to grow. It is the fastest growing religion in the world
and since 911 it has experienced the largest number of conversions to Islam in
the history of the religion in the U.S. Thomas Jefferson, one of America's
founding fathers and considered to be the leader among them, publicly declared
and it is documented, that he was well acquainted with the Quran and that he
wanted Muslims to be a part of the new nation. Although he has gotten his wish
the majority of Americans are still very ignorant of the Quran and Islam.
Despite the numerous violations of UN resolutions by Israel and the confirmed
presence of weapons of mass destruction the country being threatened with war is
Iraq. The UN has agreed on the conditions required by Iraq when Inspectors are
sent in. These conditions by the way are deliberately set up to humiliate Iraq
and assure their non-compliance so that war will be inevitable. Iraq is in a
position of "damned if you do and damned if you don't". The smear campaign
against Muslims and their religion by the mainstream media has successfully
demonized Arabs and Muslims. When thousands are killed by the American onslaught
in Iraq the American public has already been de-sensitized to feel no sympathy
for the innocent lives lost. The average American will view the massacres as
necessary killings of "Moslem terrorists".
Along with the above there is also the request for inquiry into the 911
attacks by Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney from Georgia. She claims that
corporations close to the Bush administration like the Carlyle Group, may have
benefited from the 911 attacks and Bush's "never ending war on terrorism".
Bush's father is a member of the Carlyle Group and among other things the
Carlyle Group is in the weapons industry. As a result of her request for an
"inquiry" she has come under the most vehement attacks from Government figures
and the press. But surprisingly a lot of people have come to her aid. But alas
she was defeated in her bid for re-election last August by her AIPAC supported
opponent. So as a present brave voice in government, hers has been stilled.
The past developments implicating Bush having prior knowledge of the 911
attacks is very interesting. I agree with many that this may be a black mail
scare tactic by the Jews against Bush. Although quite complacent with most of
their plans, Bush may not have been complacent with ALL of the Israeli plans. We
also see that after his previous speech blaming the Palestinians and demanding a
new leader that the "noise" about Bush's involvement with 911 died out. This has
played out very well for Bush. He is portrayed in the most positive way in the
media and indeed he is considered to be a very popular president. The November
wins by a majority of Republicans are being credited by many to Bush. It seems
that as long as Bush follows the whims of his Israeli masters things will go
well for him and the Republican party.
