Thoughts on the Fallujah Massacre

04-04-2004 07:14

Four US mercenaries massacred in Fallujah
The Massacre of four American Mercenaries this past week in Fallujah is an unfortunate consequence of 400 years of ethnic cleansing that is such a part of the American psyche.
How can we hope to transcend our own brutality if the language we use defines our enemies as sub-humans, or paints our often psychotic and homicidal past as a glorious Biblical epic?

Bush Blocks 9/11 Panel From Seeing Clinton Papers + W)199-EYE-WF-213589

04-04-2004 04:17

2nd April 2004
Democracy Now!{ http://www.democracynow.org} report that Bush is blocking release of Clinton era documents from 9/11 investigation.
Could this be because of a certain Clinton executive order.....


(previously...)
In much the same way that the President tied the hands of the FBI, shortly before 9-11, by reissuing Clinton's Executive Order (W)199-EYE-WF-213589.......ordering the FBI not to touch Arabs, any members of the Saudi Royal family or Iraqi Republican Guard, and further, to purge from FBI and airport computers all the names of any middle eastern types brought over here to be trained in in the US, at our military bases and at our own expense, and taught to fly airliners at our own flight schools, the media at large has been discouraged from publicly examining the data.

(above-FBI web page = info re: the definition of order encoding, such as #199-EYE)

Former Deputy Director of the FBI, John O'Neill [5], famed for his personal perseverance against terrorism, resigned his position at the FBI on account of the issuance of EO# 199-EYE, and at his and his department's own hands having been tied by it. He was offered a new job as head of security at the WTC (which alleged to pay $300, 000 more than his FBI salary), and barely two months after the execution of order # 199-EYE, he died on his first day of work at the WTC, on September 11, 2001.[6]

Coincidence? I can't even go there.....
