June 23, 2001: Reuters reports that "Followers of exiled Saudi dissident Osama
bin Laden are planning a major attack on US and Israeli interests in the next

who interviewed bin Laden and some of his followers two days earlier. This
reporter is quoted as saying: "There is a major state of mobilization
among the Osama bin Laden forces. It seems that there is a
race of who will strike first. Will it be the United States or Osama bin Laden?" [cooperativeresearch.org]

corporate interests and the role played by Saudi Arabia in it." He
adds:"All the answers, everything needed to dismantle Osama bin Laden's
organization, can be found in Saudi Arabia." O'Neill also believes the
White House is obstructing his investigation of bin Laden because they are
still keeping the idea of a pipeline deal with the Taliban open. [CNN, 1/8/02, CNN, 1/9/02, Irish Times, 11/19/01, Bin Laden: The Forbidden Truth, released 11/11/01

Pakistan), Karl Inderfurth (former Assistant Secretary of State for South Asian
Affairs) and Lee Coldren (former State Department expert on South Asia) meet
with Pakistani and Russian intelligence officers in a Berlin hotel. [Salon, 8/16/02] It is the third of a series of
back-channel conferences called "brainstorming on Afghanistan."
Taliban representatives sat in on previous meetings, but boycotted this one due
to worsening tensions. However, the Pakistani ISI relays information from the
meeting to the Taliban. [Guardian, 9/22/01] At the meeting, former US
State Department official Lee Coldren passes on a message from Bush officials.
He later says, "I think there was some discussion of the fact that the
United States was so disgusted with the Taliban that they might be considering
some military action." [Guardian, 9/26/01] Accounts vary, but former
Pakistani Foreign Secretary Niaz Naik later says he is told by senior American
officials at the meeting that military action to overthrow the Taliban in
Afghanistan is planned to "take place before the snows started falling in
Afghanistan, by the middle of October at the latest." The goal is to kill
or capture both bin Laden and Taliban leader Mullah Omar, topple the Taliban
regime and install a transitional government of moderate Afghans in its place.
Uzbekistan and Russia would also participate. Naik also says "it was
doubtful that Washington would drop its plan even if bin Laden were to be
surrendered immediately by the Taliban." [BBC, 9/18/01] One specific threat made at this
meeting is that the Taliban can choose
between "carpets of bombs" -
an invasion - or "carpets of gold" - the pipeline. [Bin Laden: The Forbidden Truth, Guillaume Dasquié
and Jean-Charles Brisard, released 11/11/01 (the link is an excerpt containing

Simons claims: "It's possible that a mischievous American participant,
after several drinks, may have thought it smart to evoke gold carpets and
carpet bombs. Even Americans can't resist the temptation to be
mischievous." Naik and the American participants deny that the pipeline
was an issue at the meeting. [Salon, 8/16/02] So then what was the
"carpets of gold" phrase referring to? FTW According to the Washington Post, the Special
Envoy of Mullah Omar, Rahmatullah Hashami, even came to Washington bearing a gift carpet for President Bush
from the one-eyed Taliban leader. The Village Voice reported that Hashami, on
behalf of the Taliban, offered the Bush administration to hold on to bin Laden
long enough for the United States to capture or kill him but, inexplicably, the
administration refused. Meanwhile, Spozhmai Maiwandi, the director of the Voice
of America's Pashtun service, jokingly nicknamed "Kandahar Rose" by
her colleagues, aired favorable reports on the Taliban, including a
controversial interview with Mullah Omar. [The Blacklisted Journalist 4/1/02]

are a tactic by Turkey to avoid paying compensation to Iran for not being
technically prepared on the agreed start-date for exports. Under the 23- year

Late July 2001: David Schippers, noted conservative Chicago lawyer and the House
Judiciary Committee's chief investigator in the Clinton impeachment trial,
later claims that FBI agents in Chicago and Minnesota contact him around this
time and tell him that a terrorist attack is going to occur in lower Manhattan.
According to Schippers, the agents had been developing extensive information on
the planned attack for many months. However, the FBI soon pulls them off the
terrorist investigation and threatens them with prosecution under the National
Security Act if they go public with the information. As a result, they contact
Schippers hoping he can persuade the government to take action. Schippers tries
to pass the information on to high government officials but apparently his
efforts are ignored. Partly in conjunction with Judicial Watch, the public
interest law firm, Schippers is now representing at least ten FBI agents in
a suit against the US government in an attempt to have their testimony
subpoenaed, which would enable them to legally tell what they know without
going to jail. [cooperativeresearch.org]

August 2001 - Russian President Vladimir Putin orders Russian intelligence to warn
the U.S. government "in the strongest possible terms" of imminent
attacks on airports and government buildings. [Source: MSNBC interview with
Putin, Sept. 15, 2001] Russian President Putin later states that during this
month, "I ordered my intelligence to warn President Bush in the strongest
terms that 25 terrorists were getting ready to attack the US, including
important government buildings like the Pentagon." He states that suicide
pilots are training for attacks on US targets. The head of Russian intelligence
also states, "We had clearly warned them" on several occasions, but
they "did not pay the necessary attention." A Russian newspaper on
September 12, 2001 claims that "Russian Intelligence agents know the
organizers and executors of these terrorist attacks. More than that, Moscow
warned Washington about preparation to these actions a couple of weeks before
they happened."

Independent Recount of Florida Votes shows
Al Gore won the Florida vote by a wide margin Eight major media corporations—the New York Times,
the Washington Post, Dow Jones and Company, which publishes the Wall Street
Journal, the Associated Press, the Tribune Company (the Los Angeles Times and
the Chicago Tribune, among others), the Palm Beach Post, the St. Petersburg
Times and CNN (which later dropped out)—formed a commission early in 2001 to
count more than 170,000 Florida votes rejected as "unreadable" in
November, at a cost of over $1 million. Results are not being released.
"Our belief is that the priorities of the country have changed, and our
priorities have changed," said Steven Goldstein, VP of corp.
communications at Dow Jones. Catherine Mathis, (New York Times), said "The
consortium agreed that because of the war, because of our lack of resources, we
were postponing the vote-count investigation. But this is not final. The
intention is to go forward." David Podvin, investigative journalist
"Make Them Accountable," lays out evidence that the media consortium
squelched the recount results because they showed a clear, wide margin of
victory for Gore. Consortium members, were "shocked" to find that, in
a blind count by an impartial third party, Gore won at least two-thirds of the
disputed ballots. The terrorist attacks and subsequent war, Podvin argues,
merely presented a convenient excuse for hiding results the consortium had not
predicted and wished to cover up. A former media executive says the consortium
"is deliberately hiding the results of its recount because Gore was the
indisputable winner." He also claims that a New York Times journalist
involved in the recount project said the Gore victory margin was big enough to
create "major trouble for the Bush presidency if this ever gets out."
Why the cover-up? Prior to September 11, "The de facto majority shareholders
in the publicly traded New York Times Company reportedly quashed the recount
results and convinced the other participants to shelve the story....most
important decisions at the Times are made by the influential money center banks
that exercise actual voting control of a majority of stock. These banks are
extremely pro-Bush. In addition to their control of the Times, they have
substantial financial clout with the Washington Post Company, Dow Jones and
Company, and the Tribune Company. As a result, the banks exert tremendous
influence on a majority of the consortium." The consortium also reportedly
received intense pressure from members of the Bush inner circle. www.makethemaccountable.com.
August/September 2001 - According to a detailed 13-page memo written by Minneapolis FBI legal officer Colleen Rowley, FBI headquarters ignores urgent, direct warnings from French intelligence services about pending attacks. In addition, a single Supervisory Special Agent (SSA) in Washington expends extra effort to thwart the field office's investigation of Zacarias Moussaoui, in one case rewriting Rowley's affidavit for a search warrant to search Moussaoui's laptop. Rowley's memo uses terms like "deliberately sabotage," "block," "integrity," "omitted," "downplayed," "glossed over," "mis-characterize," "improper political reasons, "deliberately thwarting," "deliberately further undercut," "suppressed," and "not completely honest." These are not terms describing negligent acts but rather, deliberate acts. FBI field agents desperately attempt to get action, but to no avail. One agent speculates that bin Laden might be planning to crash airliners into the WTC, while Rowley ironically noted that the SSA who had committed these deliberate actions had actually been promoted after Sept. 11.

September 9, 2001: the head of the Afghani National Alliance -- a cultishly popular
figure within that group, and one who stood adamantly for Afghani independence
-- was assassinated by two terrorists posing as cameramen. Keeping in mind the
fact that, throughout the '90's, American leaders such as Clinton, and American
companies such as Unocal, were largely throwing their support over to the
Taliban in opposition to the National Alliance, it seems rather convenient
that, in the aftermath of 9/11, the way was now cleared for the National
Alliance to be co-opted as an instrument for setting up a more pliant Afghani
government (now headed, incidentally, by a former consultant to Unocal). One
wonders what the fiercely independent, now-deceased, former leader of the
National Alliance would have had to say on that point. [The mystery surrounding

earlier visit to Islamabad . . . What added interest to his visit is the
history of such visits. Last time Ziauddin Butt, Mahmood's predecessor, was
here during Nawaz Sharif's government the domestic politics turned topsy-turvy
within days. That this is not the first visit by Mahmood in the last three
months shows the urgency of the ongoing parleys. . . . Interestingly, his visit

Sept. 11, 2001 - For 50 minutes, from 8:15 AM until 9:05 AM, with it widely known
within the FAA and the military that four planes have been simultaneously
hijacked and taken off course, no one notifies the President of the United
States. It is not until 9:30 that any Air Force planes are scrambled to
intercept, but by then it is too late. This means that the National Command
Authority waited for 75 minutes before scrambling aircraft, even though it was
known that four simultaneous hijackings had occurred. [Source: CNN; ABC; MSNBC;

September 11, 2001 (G): The 9/11 attack: four planes are hijacked, two crash
into the WTC, one into the Pentagon, and one crashes into the Pennsylvania
countryside. At least 3,000 people are killed. A more detailed timeline
focusing on the hours of this attack appears on a separate page. John O'Neill, WTC security chief,
and former deputy director of the FBI, where he headed investigation of the
al-Qaeda network, was killed in those buildings on that day.
O'Neill claimed in the book "Forbidden Truth", that Dale Watson
sabotaged him and leaked information about him to the New York Times. Therefore
he was discouraged but many people also speculated that O'Neill was silenced or
bribed with this new job in the Towers. If this is true, they silenced him
forever, because O' Neill died in the Towers and President Bush never took
notice.
the report
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says the first thing the
FAA does when there's a hijacking is notify the Secretary of Defense. But
according to Assistant Secretary of Defense Victoria Clarke, it was she who
first told Rumsfeld about the World Trade Center attack. And after that, what
did he do? According to Clarke, he stayed in his office until after the Pentagon
was hit. He did not join her in the National Military Command Center. Now, this
is an unbelievable behavioral response. It can't be explained by saying there
were no hijackings for many years. This woman comes in and tells Rumsfeld the
two biggest buildings in the New York have just been hit by hijacked planes and
Rumsfeld says, "I have to make some phone calls." What would be the
reason for him staying out of the National Military Command Center for 45
minute or more? What would be the *sane* reason? The only reason that we could
think of was that if he wasn't in there he couldn't be held responsible for the
lack of response that he knew was going to take place. So it was important for
him *not* to be in there at that time.
Hours
after the attacks, five Israelis are arrested--neighbors alerted police after
seeing them film the burning WTC from the roof of a building, then shouting in
what was interpreted as cries of joy and mockery. One man was found with $4,700
in cash hidden in his sock, another had two passports on him, and a box cutter
was found in the van they were driving when arrested. Investigators say that
"There are maps of the city in the car with certain places highlighted...
It looked like they're hooked in with this. It looked like they knew what was
going to happen." One of these Israelis later says, "Our purpose was
to document the event." ABC News later reports that the FBI determined at
least two are Mossad agents, and that all were on a Mossad surveillance
mission. The FBI holds them on immigration violations and interrogates them for
weeks. They are released on November 20, 2001 as part of a deal with the
Israeli government. The owner of the moving van company they all worked for
flees to Israel on September 13 and is still wanted by US authorities. The FBI later
claims that none of them had any advanced knowledge of the 9/11 attacks.

"left media". Why would the Ford foundation support alternative media
if it actually looked deeply into the long-running control over US foreign
policy exerted by the private and secretive Council on Foreign Relations. It is
more likly that the Ford Foundation would favor those that would support the
CFR, the Trilateral Commission and ultra rich and powerful multinational
corporations. Foundations invested heavily in Big Oil would not fund the kind
of alternative journalists and researchers that are not asking challenging
questions about the formative role of oil politics in 9/11 and the so-called
"War on Terrorism", or anyone pursuing urgent investigations into the
stunning array of evidence pointing to Bush administration complicity in the
9/11 attacks?)
Sept 15, 2001 CIA Director Tenet
briefs Bush with a military plan to conquer Afghanistan that was developed
before 9/11 (mostly in May 2001), and is nearly exactly the same as the plan
eventually used to conquer Afghanistan. In contrast, the Defense Department is
caught relatively unprepared and has to defer to the CIA plans. Tenet then
divulges a top secret document called the "Worldwide
Attack Matrix," which describes covert operations against al-Qaeda in
80 countries that are either underway or now recommended. The actions range
from routine propaganda to lethal covert action [cooperativeresearch.org]
Sept. 15, 2001 - The New York Times reports that Mayo Shattuck III has resigned,
effective immediately, as head of the Alex Brown (A.B.) unit of Deutschebank.
September 16th, 2001 Bin Laden denied again that he was involved in the Sep11th
attack. He faxed a statement to Afghan Islamic Press (AIP)
http://www.islamonline.net/English/News/2001-09/17/article17.shtml bin Laden
states "that dozens of terrorists organizations from countries like Israel,
Russia, India and Serbia could be responsible" (i.e., it was the work of
Satan) and "insisted that al Qaida does not consider the United States its
enemy."
September, 16, 2001: Barry Mawn, FBI, classified a recovered passpord in
the rubble of Vesey Street, by one of the hijackers. The name of the owner,
which he didn't disclose, was later revealed by ABC as Satam M. A. Al Suqami.
Mawn was one of the few FBI agents, who also convinced John O' Neill to start a
job at the Twin Towers:
"...It
would be a powerful position," Mawn says. "That person would have
direct contact with the FBI and turn around and influence top Cabinet people,
and possibly even the president..."

the FBI on March 30, 2000 by former New York-FBI director Louis J. Freeh
September 16-23, 2001: Reports appear in many newspapers suggesting that
some of the people the US says were 9/11 hijackers are actually still alive.
The London Times reports, "Five of the hijackers were using stolen
identities, and investigators are studying the possibility that the entire
suicide squad consisted of impostors." People with the same names and
other biographical information of the hijackers speak to the press and
governments in the Middle East and claim they were nowhere near the US on 9/11.
In some cases, their passports and/or photos appear to have been stolen and
used by the hijackers. In a secret report to banks, the US even suggests that
one hijacker, Khalid Almidhar, is still alive. However, in November 2001, FBI
Director Mueller states, "We at this point definitely know the 19
hijackers who were responsible,'' and says that they were sticking with the
names and photos released in late September. The Salem Alhazmi still alive in
Saudi Arabia says the FBI photo of hijacker Salem Alhazmi is of him, and other
details of the hijackers appear to refer to obviously stolen information

September 18, 2001 The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported that
Milwaukee police were called to the home of a highly educated (and drunk)
scientist on this date, supposedly because of a domestic dispute about a
lawnmower. While at his home, the scientist actually told Milwaukee police that
he was building "an anthrax delivery system" in his basement! Ten
days later, using a search warrant, the FBI took away his computer and some
other objects, but didn't see any "anthrax delivery system". The
scientist's specialty is in the areas of radio chemistry, military ordnance and
munitions, and decontamination - and he previously worked for a company that
handled anthrax. Since he was in Milwaukee on this date, he had a perfect alibi - he couldn't have been in Trenton, New
Jersey, mailing the anthrax letters. But what a coincidence that he just
happened to have the police pay a visit on this date! And it was certainly
handy for a potential suspect to have the FBI specifically verify via a search
warrant that he had no anthrax! The man's employment history was verified with
a former employer, the Battelle Memorial Institute in Columbus, Ohio. He was
fired twice - in 1996 and 1999. The searchers found chemicals that were not
illegal to possess, but an informant told the FBI that the man "has the
knowledge and experience to utilize the chemicals that were found in his
basement to make a lethal chemical agent," the affidavit says.
September 18, 2001: The first anthrax letters are mailed out, two days

anthrax crisis won't begin until October 4 with the first confirmed sickness. [CNN, 11/18/01, South Florida Sun-Sentinel, 12/01] With only one
week between 9/11 and the first mailing, doesn't it seem likely planning for
the anthrax attacks began before 9/11 [cooperativeresearch.org]

September 23, 2001: Osama did some building for the infidels in Afghanistan as well. That
was during the late 1980s. Under contract with the CIA, he and the family
company built the multi-billion dollar "caves" (1) in
which he is now, supposedly, hiding, thus causing the U.S. and Britain to bomb
the Red Cross, the Red Crescent, and other strategic military installations:
"He
(bin Laden) brought in engineers from his father's company and heavy
construction equipment to build roads and warehouses for the Mujaheddin. In
1986, he helped build a CIA-financed tunnel complex, to serve as a major arms
storage depot, training facility and medical center for the Mujaheddin, deep
under the mountains close to the Pakistan border."

million went to public health systems. "It would be a mistake not to
change the funding patterns of the past".

The Carlyle Group: George Bush senior specializes in Asia and has been in and out of Saudi
Arabia and Kuwait (countries that revere him thanks to the Gulf War) often on
business since his presidency. Baker, the pin-striped midwife of 'Election
2000' was working his network in the 'stans' before the ink was dry on
Clinton's first inaugural address. The Bin Laden family (presumably the
friendly wing) is also invested in Carlyle. Carlyle's portfolio is heavy in
defense and telecommunications firms, although it has other holdings including
food and bottling companies. The Carlyle connection means that George Bush
Senior is on the payroll from private interests that have defense business
before the government, while his son is president. Charles Lewis of the Washington-based
Center for Public Integrity said "George W. Bush could, some day, benefit
financially from his own administration's decisions, through his father's
investments. And that to me is a jaw-dropper." Why can we assume that
global businessmen like Bush Senior and Jim Baker care about who runs
Afghanistan and NOT just because it's home base for lethal anti-Americans?
Because it also happens to be situated in the middle of that perennial vital
national interest -- a region with abundant oil. By 2050, Central Asia will
account for more than 80 percent of our oil. On September 10, an industry
publication, Oil and Gas Journal, reported that Central Asia represents one of
the world's last great frontiers for geological survey and analysis,
"offering opportunities for investment in the discovery, production,
transportation, and refining of enormous quantities of oil and gas
resources." We need unimpeded access in the 'stans' for our geologists,
construction workers and pipelines if we are going to realize the
conservation-free, fossil-fueled future outlined recently by Vice President
Cheney. A number of pipeline projects to carry Central Asia's resources west
are already under way or have been proposed. They would go through Russia,
through the Caucasus or via Turkey and Iran. Each route will be within easy
reach of the Taliban's thugs and could be made much safer by an American
vanquishment of Muslim terrorism.
There's
also lots of oil beneath the turf of our politically precarious newest best
friend, Pakistan. "Massive untapped gas reserves are believed to be lying
beneath Pakistan's remotest deserts, but they are being held hostage by armed
tribal groups demanding a better deal from the central government,"
reported Agence France Presse just days before September 11. So many business
deals, so much oil, all those big players with powerful connections to the Bush
administration. It doesn't add up to a conspiracy theory. But it does mean
there is a significant MONEY subtext that the American public ought to know
about as "Operation Enduring Freedom" blasts new holes where
pipelines might someday be buried. [Nina Burleigh for TomPaine.com. ] ....JH, 10/30
Sept. 29, 2001 - The San Francisco Chronicle reports that $2.5 million in put options
on American and United airlines are unclaimed. This is likely the result of the
suspension in trading on the New York Stock Exchange after the attacks, which
gave the Securities and Exchange Commission time to be waiting when the owners
showed up to redeem their put options.
Sept, 29, 2001: It's a small world after all. In the September 29, 2001 article of
PressPlus, Yusufszai's ABC colleague, John Miller, mused about running into his
buddy John O'Neill in Yemen while reporting on the U.S.S. Cole bombing the year
before. "He said, `So this is the Elaine's of Yemen.' " "There
is a terrible irony to all this," Miller said. I'll say: Miller, the only
American who can give a first-hand account of bin Laden, bumps into his friend,
bin Laden's chief investigator while both are investigating a bombing in Yemen
that will later be tagged onto bin Laden -- and only a year before O'Neill dies
at the hands of . . . allegedly . . . bin Laden.

Oct. 4, 2001 a commercial jetliner traveling from Israel to Novosibirsk, Siberia was
shot down over the Black Sea by an "errant" Ukrainian surface-to-air
missile, killing all on board. The missile was over 100 miles off-course.
Despite early news stories reporting it as a charter, the flight, Air Sibir
1812, was a regularly scheduled flight. According to several press reports,
including a Dec. 5 article by Barry Chamish and one on Jan. 13 by Jim Rarey
(both available at www.rense.com), the plane is believed by many in Israel to
have had as many as five passengers who were microbiologists. Both Israel and
Novosibirsk are homes for cutting-edge microbiological research. Novosibirsk is
known as the scientific capital of Siberia, and home to over 50 research
facilities and 13 full universities for a population of only 2.5 million
people.
