Based on previous experience of NATO and American foreign policy, ranging from American military operations in regions of conflict from Haiti to Vietnam, I have to say that the story we hear on the news and read in the newspapers is simply not believable. The most cursory glance at the verifiable facts, before, during, and after September 11th, does not support the official line or conform to the current actions of the United States government. But the official line only works if they can get everyone to accept the underlying premises. I’m not at all surprised about the Republican and Democratic Parties repeating these premises. They are simply two factions within a single dominant class, and the same economic powerhouses finance both. My biggest disappointment has been the tacit acceptance of those premises by the majority of those on the official line, sometimes naively, and sometimes to score morality points. These premises are twofold. One, there is the premise that what this de facto administration is doing now is a “response” to September 11th. Two, there is the premise that this attack on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon was done by people based in Afghanistan. In my opinion, neither of these is sound.

To put this into perspective we have to go back not to September 11th, but to last year or further. A man of limited intelligence, George W Bush, with nothing more than his name and the behind the scenes pressure of his powerful father, a former President, ex-director of Central Intelligence, and an oil man is systematically constructed as a candidate, at tremendous cost. Across the country, subtle and not so subtle mechanisms are put into place to disfranchise a significant fraction of the Democrat’s African-American voter base. This doesn’t come out until Florida becomes a battleground for Electoral College votes, and the corporate media has suppressed the magnitude of the story to this day. In a decision so lacking in legitimacy, the Supreme Court will neither by-line the author of the decision nor allow the decision to ever be used as a precedent. Bush versus Gore awards the presidency of the United States to a man who loses the popular vote in Florida and loses the national popular vote by over 600,000.

This de facto regime then organizes a very interesting cabinet. The Vice President is an oil executive and the former Secretary of Defence. The National Security Advisor is a director on the board of a transnational oil corporation and a Russian scholar. The Secretary of State is a man with no diplomatic experience whatsoever, and the former Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The other interesting appointment is Donald Rumsfeld as Secretary of Defence. Rumsfeld is the former CEO of Searle Pharmaceuticals. He and Cheney were featured as speakers at the May 2000, Russian-American Business Leaders Forum. So the consistent currents in this cabinet are petroleum, the former Soviet Union, and the military.

Based on the record of Daddy Bush, in all his guises, and the general trajectory of US foreign policy as far back as the Carter Administration, I feel I can reasonably conclude that Middle Eastern and South Asian fossil fuels are one of their major preoccupations. Not just because this klavern has some very direct financial interests in fossil fuel, but because they surely know that world-wide oil production is peaking as we speak, and will soon begin a permanent and precipitous decline that will completely change the character of civilization as we know it within 20 years. Even the left seems to be in deep denial about this, but the math is available. And, no, alternative energies will not save us. All the alternatives currently available in the world can not begin to provide more than a tiny fraction of the energy base now provided by oil. This makes it more than a resource, and the drive to control what’s left more than economic competition.

I further conclude that the economic colonization of the former Soviet Union is probably high on the agenda, and in fact has a powerful synergy with the issue of petroleum. Russia not only holds vast untapped resources that beckon to imperialism in crisis; it remains a credible military and nuclear challenger in the region. We have not one, but three members of the Bush de facto cabinet with military credentials, which makes the cabinet look quite a lot like a military General Staff. All this, way before September 11th. Then, there’s the subject of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. NATO might have been expected consignment to the dustbin of the Cold War after the Eastern Bloc shattered in 1991. Peace dividend and all that. But it didn’t. It expanded directly into the former states of the Eastern Bloc toward the former Soviet Union, and contributed significant forces to the devastation of Iraq, a key country in the world oil market, over which control translates into the ability to manipulate oil prices.

NATO is a military formation, and the United States exerts the controlling interest in it. It seemed like a form without function, but it remedied that pretty quickly. Then when Yugoslavia refused to play ball with the International Monetary Fund, the United States and Germany began a systematic campaign of destabilization there, even using some of the veterans of Afghanistan in that campaign. NATO became the military arm of that agenda, the break up of Yugoslavia into compliant statelets, the further containment of the former Soviet Union, and the future pipeline easement for Caspian Sea oil to western European markets through Kosovo. You see, this is important to understand, and people, even those against the war talk are tending to overlook the significance of it. NATO is not a guarantor of international law, and is not a humanitarian organization. It is a military alliance with a very dominant partner. And it can no longer claim to be a defensive alliance against European socialists. It is an instrument of military aggression. NATO is the organization that is now going to thrust further along the 40th parallel from the Balkans through the Southern Asian Republics of the former Soviet Union. The United States military has already taken control of a base in Uzbekistan. No one is talking about how what seems to be going on as a very logical extension of a strategy that was already in motion, and has been in motion for two decades. Once we recognize the pattern of activity designed to simultaneously consolidate control over Middle Eastern and South Asian oil, and contain and colonize the former Soviet Union, Afghanistan is exactly where they need to go to pursue that agenda.

Afghanistan borders Iran, India, and even China, but more importantly, the Central Asian Republics of the former Soviet Union, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan. These border Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan borders Russia. Turkmenistan sits on the southeastern quadrant of the Caspian Sea, whose oil the Bush Administration dearly covets. Afghanistan is necessary for two things:

· As a base of operations to begin the process of destabilising, breaking off, and establishing control over the South Asian Republics, which will begin within the next 18-24 months in my opinion;
· And constructing a pipeline through Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan to deliver petroleum to the Asian Market.

Niaz Naik, a Pakistani Foreign Secretary recently told the BBC, that senior American officials were warning them as early as mid-July that military action for mid-October was being planned for Afghanistan. In 1996, the Department of Energy was issuing reports on desirability of a pipeline through Afghanistan, and in 1998, Unocal testified before the House Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific that this pipeline was crucial to transport Caspian Basin oil to the Indian Ocean. Given this evidence that a military operation to secure at least a portion of Afghanistan has been on the table, possibly as early as five years ago, I can’t help but conclude that the actions we are seeing put into motion now are part of a pre-September 11th agenda. I’m absolutely sure of that, in fact. The planning alone for operations, of this scale, that are now taking shape, would take many months. And we are seeing them take shape in mere weeks. It defies common sense. The American Administration is lying about this whole thing being a reaction to September 11th. That leads me, in short order, to be very suspicious of their yet-to-be-provided evidence that someone in Afghanistan is responsible. It’s just too convenient. Which also leads me to wonder just for the sake of knowing what actually did happen on September 11th, and who actually is responsible.

This so-called evidence is a farce. The United States presented Tony Blair’s puppet government with the evidence, and of the 70 so-called points of evidence, only nine referred to the attacks on the World Trade Centre, and those points were conjectural. But the corporate press regurgitates it uncritically. But then, as we should know by now, their role is to legitimize. This cartoon heavy they’ve turned into Osaman Bin Laden makes no sense, when you begin to appreciate the complexity and synchronicity of the attacks. I can tell you that this was a very sophisticated and costly enterprise that would have left a huge signature. In other words it would be very hard to effectively conceal. So there’s a real question about why there was no warning of this. That can be a question about the efficacy of the government’s intelligence apparatus. That can be a question about various policies in various agencies that had to be duped to orchestrate this action. And it can also be a question about whether or not there was foreknowledge of the event, and that foreknowledge is being covered up. To dismiss this concern out of hand as ranting of conspiracy nuts is premature. And there is a history of this kind of being done by national political bosses, including the darling of liberals, Franklin Roosevelt. The evidence is very compelling that the Roosevelt Administration deliberately failed to act to stop Pearl Harbour being attacked by the Japanese in order to mobilize enough national anger to enter World War II. I have no idea why people aren’t asking some very specific questions about the actions of Bush and company on the day of the attacks. Follow along:

· Four planes get hi-jacked and deviate from their flight plans, all the while on FAA radar;
· The planes are all hi-jacked between 7.45 and 8.10 AM Eastern Daylight Time;
· Who is notified?
· This is an event that is already unprecedented;
· But the President is not notified and going to a Florida elementary school to hear children read;
· By around 8.15 AM, it should be apparent that something is terribly wrong;
· The President is glad-handling teachers;
· By 8.45, when American Airlines Flight 11 crashes into the World trade centre, Bush is settling in with children for his photo ops at Booker Elementary;
· Four planes have simultaneously been hi-jacked, an event never before seen in history, and one has just dived into the world’s best known twin towers, and still no one notifies the nominal Commander in Chief;
· No one has apparently scrambled any Air Force interceptors either;
· At 9.03, United Flight 175 crashes into the remaining World Trade Centre building;
· At 9.05, Andrew Card, the Presidential Chief of Staff whispers to George W. Bush;
· Bush briefly turns sombre according to reporters;
· Does he cancel the school visit and convene an emergency meeting?
· No, he resumes listening to second graders read about a little girl’s pet goat, and continues this banality even as American Airlines Flight 77 conducts an unscheduled point turn over Ohio and heads in the direction of Washington DC;
· Has he instructed Chief of Staff Card to scramble the Air Force? No;
· An excruciating 25 minutes later, he finally deigns to give a public statement telling the United States what they have already figured out;
· That there’s been an attack by hi-jacked planes on the World Trade Centre;
· There’s a hi-jacked plane bee lining to Washington, but has the Air Force been scrambled to defend anything? No;
· At 9.30, when he makes his announcement, American Flight 77 is still ten minutes from its target, the Pentagon;
· The Administration will later claim they had no way of knowing that the Pentagon might be a target, and that they thought Flight 77 was headed to the White House, but the fact is that the plane has already flown South and past the White House no-fly zone, and is in fact tearing through the sky at over 400 nauts;
· At 9.35, this plane conducts another turn, 360 degrees over the Pentagon, all the while being tracked by radar, and the Pentagon is not evacuated, yet still there are no fast-movers from the Air Force in the sky over Alexandria and DC;
· Now the real kicker;
· A pilot they want us to believe was trained at a Florida puddle jumper school for Piper Cubs and Cessnas, conducts a well controlled downward spiral, descending the last 7,000 feet in two and a half minutes, brings the plane in so low and flat that it clips the electrical wires across the street from the Pentagon, and flies at it with pinpoint accuracy into the side of this building at 460 nauts;
· When the theory about learning to fly this well at the puddle jumper school began to lose ground, it was added that they received further training on a flight simulator.

This is utter nonsense. Sophisticated highly trained and skilled military pilots with years of experience would find this not only difficult, but daunting. But at the least, this so-called Commander in Chief and his staff that we are all supposed to follow blindly into some ill-defined war on terrorism is criminally negligent or unspeakably stupid. And at the worst, if more is known or was known, and there is an effort to conceal the facts, there is a criminal conspiracy going on. Certainly, the Bush de facto administration was facing a confluence of crises from which they were temporarily rescued by this event. Whether they play a sinister role or not, there is little doubt that they have at the very least opportunistically pounced on this attack to overcome their lack of legitimacy, to shift the blame for the encroaching recession from capitalism to the September 11th terror attack, to legitimize their pre-existing foreign policy agenda, and to establish and consolidate repressive measures domestically and silence dissent. In many ways, September 11th pulled the Bush cookies out of the fire.

And given the green light to begin constructing a long-term scenario within which to establish fascistic control measures at home and abroad as a citadel for the ruling class in the catastrophic conjuncture that we are entering based on oil. The elephant in the living room is being seriously ignored. In fact, the domestic repression has already begun, officially and unofficially. It’s kind of a latter day McCarthyism. Now Herr Ashcroft is fast tracking the biggest abrogation of United States civil liberties since the so-called anti-terrorism legislation after the Oklahoma City bombing which by the way hasn’t resulted in anti-terrorism but in the acceleration of the application of the racist death penalty. The FBI has defined terrorist groups not by whether any given group has ever acted as terrorists, but by their beliefs. Some socialists and anti-globalization groups have already been identified by name as terrorist groups, even though there is not a single shred of evidence that they have ever participated in any criminal activity. It reminds me of the Smith act that was finally declared unconstitutional, but only after a considerable number of people served a very long time in jail for the crime of thinking. I think this points to yet another huge problem that the Bush regime was facing. World-wide resistance to the whole so-called neoliberal agenda which is a prettied up term for debt-leverage imperialism. While debt and the threat of sanctions have been used to coerce nations in the periphery, we have to understand that the final guarantor of compliance remains military action. For a global economic agenda, there is always a corresponding political and military agenda. The focal point of these actions in the short term is Southern Asia, but they have already scripted this as a world-wide and protracted fight against terrorism. It’s far better than drug wars as a rationalization, and the drug war thing was being discredited in any case. Leftists are regaining power and popularity in Venezuela, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Brazil and Argentina. Cuba has gained immense prestige over the last few years. The empire is beginning to unravel. We can hardly justify intervention in these places by saying they are not towing the economic line by allowing the absolute domination of their societies by transnational corporations. That exposes the agenda. So we claim they are supporting terrorism.

It’s for all these reasons I say that justice has missed the boat on this one, by allowing them to get away with rushing past the question of who did what on September 11th. If the official story is a lie, and I think the circumstantial case is strong enough to stay with this question, then we really do need to know what happened. And we need to understand concretely what the motives of this administration are. And we need to understand more than just their immediate motives, but where the larger social forces that underwrite our situation right now are headed. I do not think this administration is engaged in the deliberative process of a political grouping that is on top of their game. They are putting together some very deliberative technical solutions in response to a larger situation that is slipping rapidly out of their control. Like clear cutting. There’s a very smart technology being employed to do a very dumb thing.

What they are responding too, is not September 11th, but the beginning of a permanent and precipitous decline in world-wide oil production, the beginning of a deep and protracted world-wide recession, and the unravelling of some sort of autocratic World Government, with the military, political, economic, social and ideological efficacy to enforce and maintain control and coercion over countries and areas of the planet that are vital for their continued survival and progress. This brings me to a point about what all this means for all of us. The actions being prepared by the USA and its more powerful allies will not only not enhance our security, it will significantly degrade it. Military action against many groups across the globe, which is what they are quite openly telling us, they are planning to do, will put a lot of backs against the wall. That can’t be very secure. The concept of war being touted here is clearly a violation of war on several counts, and will inevitably lead to many military catastrophes, if you’re inclined to view this from a position of moral or political neutrality. And the people who are now in possession of half the world’s remaining oil reserves are subject to destabilization for which we can’t even pretend to predict the consequences, but loss of access to critical energy supplies is certainly within the realm of possibility. Worst of all, we will be destabilizing Pakistan, a nuclear power in an active conflict with its neighbour, India, and we will be provoking Russia, another nuclear power. The security stakes don’t get any higher, and we can ill afford to ignore nukes.

This hidden agenda is a tremendous threat to the security of anyone who is critical of their government or their corporate financiers, and we already know that the real threats are against populations that can easily be scapegoated as the crisis deepens. This is a very real threat right now of creeping fascism emanating within many countries, and that phenomenon requires its domestic enemies. Historically those enemies have included leftists, trade unionists and racially and nationally oppressed sectors of the population viewed as problematic and a threat to national security. This whole state of emergency mentality is already being used to quiet the public discourses of anti-racism, of feminism, of environmentalism and both socialism and anarchism. And while there is token resistance by officials to anti-Muslim xenophobia, the stereotypical images have saturated the media, and the government is already beginning to openly re-instate racial profiling. It is only a short step from there to go after other “problematic” groups.

Absolutely excellent reading. I read Alternative 3 about 25 years ago. Interesting how the puppets working for the control freaks (Illuminati) banned it from circulation many years ago. Sadly, most people are incredibly stupid and gullible and simply follow what their masters and the mass media programme them to believe. As soon as 11/09/01 occurred the first thing that came to my mind was the word "STAGED". NORAD protects North America. It's so sophisticated that it can detect a fly. Yet, the liars convinced 99.9% of the people who follow them that a few Arabs managed to invade USA airspace. Thanks for you're newsletter. I'll enroll tomorrow because we cannot access the NET outside specified hours.

Keep up the good work
