http://Early September: "Some White House personnel" are given ciprofloxacin, the antibiotic of choice against anthrax. Israelis called for a global “war on terrorism” within a few hours of the 9/11 attacks Israel’s enemies were being portrayed as America’s enemies too. Together, said the Zionists, Israel and America can defeat “the forces of darkness.” Israel’s crude campaign of innuendo and Orwellian projection manifested within a few hours of the 9/11 attacks. Israeli politicians Ariel Sharon, Benjamin Netanyahu, Ehud Barak and Shimon Peres all made public statements calling on the US and other Western powers to initiate a global “war on terrorism,” a term coined by Likudniks in the 1980s. Israel’s army intelligence service Aman and the former Mossad chief Rafi Eitan trumpeted brazen disinformation shortly following 9/11, alleging Iraqi involvement in the attacks. In August of 2001 the Mossad delivered a propagandistic “warning” to the CIA alleging al-Qaeda and Iraq were working together and were plotting terror attacks on major US landmarks. The neoconservatives, who are for all intents and purposes emissaries of the Israeli regime in the US, went straight to work in the op-ed pages of the Washington Post, the New York Times and other media outlets, attempting to portray Arabs and Muslims generally as the sponsors of 9/11 and the source of all terrorism in the world. The same pattern of Zionist deception is apparent with the anthrax attacks. Israel’s partisans immediately mobilized a propaganda initiative to link Iraq and al-Qaeda to the anthrax mailings. On various occasions President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney told reporters that al-Qaeda was likely involved in the lethal mailings. WE NEED TO GET SPECIFIC AS TO WHEN AND WHO TOLD REPORTERS On September 23, 2001, at the request of Attorney General John Ashcroft, the government grounded all the crop-dusters in America— over 5,000 planes that ordinarily spray pesticides on crops. The FBI then issued an ominous nationwide alert citing the possibility of a terrorist crop-duster attacks. The next day, before the House Committee on the Judiciary, Ashcroft testified that he had ordered these actions based on information the FBI received that these crop-dusting aircraft could be used " September 30, 2001: Four Prominent Republicans Make Alarming Comments about Terrorists and WMDs Four prominent Republican officials make alarming comments about terrorism and especially the use of WMDs against the US: White House chief of staff Andrew Card says on Fox News, “I’m not trying to be an alarmist, but we know that these terrorist organizations, like al-Qaeda, run by Osama bin Laden and others, have probably found the means to use biological or chemical warfare.” Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld says on NBC’s Meet the Press, “There’s always been terrorism, but there’s never really been worldwide terrorism at a time when the weapons have been as powerful as they are today, with chemical and biological and nuclear weapons spreading to countries that harbor terrorists.” He suggests several countries supporting terrorists either have WMDs or are trying to get them. “It doesn’t take a leap of imagination to expect that at some point those nations will work with those terrorist networks and assist them in achieving and obtaining those kinds of capabilities.” He does not name these countries, but the New York Times notes the next day that the US military had recently identified the WMD programs in Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Sudan as cause for concern. Representative Henry Hyde (R-IL), the chairman of the House International Relations Committee, also says on Meet the Press that biological weapons “scare” him more than nuclear weapons because they can be brought into the country “rather easily.” The New York Times reports that there is no new intelligence behind these alarming comments. By contrast, Senator Joseph Biden (D-DE), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, says it is unlikely terrorists are capable of making extremely deadly biological weapons. He says that terrorists might have access to weapons that use anthrax or smallpox, but while “There are those serious things… we can deal with them.” [NEW YORK TIMES, 10/1/2001] Beginning on September 18, 2001 Letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several news media offices Two more anthrax letters are sent out between October 6-9th, 2001 to the offices of US Senators Daschle and Leahy as difficulties in passing the Patriot Act continued. The letter to Leahy is mis-routed and not discovered until mid-November. The anthrax spores used in this case were even more refined and more lethal than in the first wave. , the anthrax letter attacks killed five people and sickened 17 others. These letters contained the following message: “09-11-01 YOU CAN NOT STOP US. WE HAVE THIS ANTHRAX. YOU DIE NOW. ARE YOU AFRAID? DEATH TO AMERICA. DEATH TO ISRAEL. ALLAH IS GREAT. “ implicating Muslims as involved in sending these letters. October 11-29, 2001: General Terror Alerts Issued, Terrorists Said Poised to Attack US ‘in the Next Week’ On October 11, 2001, President Bush uses his first prime-time news conference to give an update on the early stages of the war on terrorism. He confirms that the Justice Department just issued a blanket alert “in recognition of a general threat.” [CNN NEWS, 10/11/2001] This general threat never materializes. On October 29, the administration warns again of plans to strike the United States “in the next week.” In a quickly called news conference, US Attorney General John Ashcroft says intelligence sources have found “credible” information the nation could be the focus for some sort of terrorist attack within the week. No specific information is provided to the public now or later to explain what information may have caused this alert. [CNN NEWS, 10/29/2001] The Continuity of Government program was imitated and government officials were moved to secure locations. This action would spread the fear that some secret information not disclosed publicly pointed to a serious and pending likely another terrorist attack. In an Oct. 27, 2001, report in the London Times, alleged that Israeli security sources said that an Iraqi official met with 9/11 patsy Mohamed Atta in the Czech Republic in April 2001. The report went on to suggest that during the rendezvous the Iraqi official gave Atta a flask of anthrax. The origin of this dubious claim was noted in the article: Israeli security sources. The chief of Czech foreign intelligence, Frantisek Bublan, later revealed that this supposed meeting never took place. https://martinezperspective.wordpress.com/2014/02/16/were-israels-secret-services-behind-the-2001-anthrax-attacks/ October 29, 2001: Attorney General Ashcroft Issues General Terror Alert Attorney General John Ashcroft issues a second terror alert for the month (see October 11-29, 2001). The intelligence received by the FBI does not, he says, “contain specific information as to the type of attack or specific targets.” [RICH, 2006, PP. 36] November 8, 2001: Ashcroft: US ‘Victorious’ in ‘Opening Battle in the War against Terrorism’ Attorney General John Ashcroft claims that “two periods of extremely high threat have passed” without incident. But in 2006, author Frank Rich will note that this assessment is based solely on Ashcroft’s word, since no evidence of actual threats will ever be advanced. [RICH, 2006, PP. 36-37] December 12, 2001: Ridge Says Terrorist Attacks ‘Could Happen Within the Next Few Weeks’ Tom Ridge, Director of Homeland Security, warns that terrorist strikes “could happen within the next few weeks.” Ridge states that “the quantity and level of threats… have reached a threshold where we should once again place the public on general alert.” He describes the terrorists as “shadow soldiers… a shadow enemy.” [MOTHERJONES, 12/3/2001] Richard Reid does attempt to blow up an airplane with a shoe-bomb later in the month (see December 12, 2001: Ridge Says Terrorist Attacks ‘Could Happen Within the Next Few Weeks’ On 21 December 2001, Reid attempted to board a flight from Paris to Miami, Florida. His boarding was delayed because his dishevelled physical appearance aroused the suspicions of the airline passenger screeners. In addition, Reid did not answer all of their questions, and had not checked any luggage for the transatlantic flight. On 22 December 2001, a passenger on Flight 63 from Paris to Miami complained of a smoke smell in the cabin shortly after a meal service. One flight attendant, Hermis Moutardier, thinking she smelled a burnt match, walked along the aisles of the plane, trying to assess the source. A passenger pointed to Reid, who was sitting alone near a window and attempting to light a match. Moutardier warned him that smoking was not allowed on the airplane. Reid promised to stop. A few minutes later, Moutardier found Reid leaned over in his seat. After she asked him what he was doing, Reid grabbed at her, revealing one shoe in his lap, a fuse leading into the shoe, and a lit match. Several passengers worked together to subdue he became radicalized and went to Pakistan and Afghanistan, where he trained and became a member of al-Qaeda. Richard Reid - Wikipedia TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE? Just like finding a car in an airport parking lot with the names of all the alleged hijackers and etc. Hijacker tried to get U.S. loan to buy plane Jun 7, 2002 PER Associated Press Johnell Bryant, a loan manager in the Department of Agriculture's Florida Farm Service Office, recalled after September 11th that Atta came to her office to get a $650,000 cash loan to finance a twin-engine, six-passenger airplane (not a crop-duster.) She said that the man had told her that he intended to build a tank in the passenger plane so he could also use it for crop-dusting. She said that the meeting had occurred in 2000, between "the third week of April to the third week of May of 2000." She was able to fix the date because the Far Service subsequently moved their office to Florida City. Bryant ask Mohamed Atta his name and he wrote down his name and spelled it A-T-T-A-H, and he told her ”No, A-T-T-A, as in Atta boy!” While no doubt some Arab-looking man made an inquiry about getting a loan during this period, Mohamed Atta was in Germany during that time period, applying for his visa to come to the United States. He did not arrive in the United States until June 3rd 2000. If so, the person who came into Bryant's office to get a loan to buy a passenger plane in April or May 2000 could not have been Mohamed Atta. Bryant reported that Atta was a rather sinister person ready to “cut the throat” of people and that he admired Osama bin Laden. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9a0i91-npyE&feature=youtu.be More see: http://www.edwardjayepstein.com/nether_fictoid11.htm The White House propaganda blitz was launched on September 7, 2002, at a Camp David press conference. British Prime Minister Tony Blair stood side by side with President George W. Bush. Together, they declared that evidence from a report published by the UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) showed that Iraq was "six months away" from building nuclear weapons. On the following day on September 8, 2002, Judith Miller reported in the Sunday New York Times wrote, "Iraq has stepped up its quest for nuclear weapons and has embarked on a worldwide hunt for materials to make an atomic bomb, Bush administration officials said today." Miller added the phrase "The first sign of a 'smoking gun,' [these administration officials] argue, may be a mushroom cloud." The same day Vice President Cheney made the rounds on the Sunday talk shows to advance the administration’s bogus claims. On NBC’s Meet the Press, Cheney declared that Iraq had purchased aluminum tubes to make enriched uranium. He said, "There’s a story in The New York Times this morning, and I want to attribute The Times." It didn’t matter that the IAEA refuted this claim both before and after it was made. Headline: U.S. Says Hussein Intensifies Quest for A-Bomb Parts," by Judith Miller and Michael R. Gordon, September 8, 2002. These reporters quote Ahmed al-Shemri (a pseudonym), who contends that he worked in Iraq’s chemical weapons program before defecting in 2000. " 'All of Iraq is one large storage facility,' said Mr. Shemri, who claimed to have worked for many years at the Muthanna State Enterprise, once Iraq’s chemical weapons plant." The authors quote Shemri as stating that Iraq is stockpiling "12,500 gallons of anthrax, 2,500 gallons of gas gangrene, 1,250 gallons of aflatoxin, and 2,000 gallons of botulinum throughout the country." However, UN weapons inspectors had earlier stated and US weapons inspectors confirmed in September 2003, none of these claims were true. Bush administration makes six fake terror alerts to scare the crap out of Americans March 2, 2002 Five or six times that the Terrorist Alert System was falsely used for political reasons Sept 11 thru 24, 2002: Threat level raised to orange for the first time: Aschcroft said, "Al Qaeda cells in several South Asian countries have been accumulating explosives since January and may be planning car bomb or other attacks on US facilities". ," President Bush said at the Afghanistan Embassy in Washington. "We have no specific threat to America, but we're taking everything seriously," he said. Comment: If no specific threat then why raise the threat level? (Did) Bush turned public anxiety into Republican votes (Nov 2002 elections) by arguing that the then-Democratic Senate was "not interested in the security of the American people." For months, criticism of Bush was put on hold as Democrats scrambled to prove how cooperative and patriotic they were. Typical was House Speaker Dennis Hastert's comment about Daschle's criticism of Bush's diplomacy before the Iraq war. He said, Daschle had come mighty close to giving aid and comfort to our adversaries. http://www.eriposte.com/war_peace/911/911.htm Senators Back President Bush on Iraq Resolution (S. J. Res. 46), October 2, 2002: March 17 thru Apr 16, 2003: Threat level raised to orange and activates Operation Liberty Shield: "While al-Qaida remains the principal concern, we are also concerned Iraqi state agents, Iraqi surrogate groups or ad hoc groups or disgruntled individuals might choose to use the time period as well to launch attacks against the United States or against our coalition partners," said Homeland Security spokesman Gordon Johndroe. Comment: Still trying to sell the lies about links to Iraq and al-Qaeda using the raised terrorist alerts to scare Americans into supporting the war. 19 March 2003, US military invades Iraq (D+1). May 28, 2004 The latest hype from Ashcroft stating Al Qaeda's is now 90% ready to conduct their next attack on the US (up from the 70% intelligence agencies' estimate). Attorney General John Ashcroft warned of an attack planned on America for sometime in the coming months. That may happen, but NBC News has learned one of Ashcroft's sources is highly suspect. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5087301/ Comment: Bush's poll numbers are going down after the torture incidents are coming to light, so this is the time to put the fear of god into America. This is the perfect time to try to convince voters that violations of the Geneva Convention could be justified in the face of the new threats. The New York Times reporter Judith Miller acknowledged in The Wall Street Journal on April 4, 2015 that some of her coverage about WMDs was inaccurate. On May 26, 2004, a week after the CIA and DIA apparently severed ties with Ahmed Chalabi, a Times editorial acknowledged that some of the paper's coverage in the run-up to the war had relied too heavily on Ahmed Chalabi and other Iraqi exiles, who were bent on regime change. Miller story, claimed that trailers found in Iraq had been shown to be mobile weapons labs. However, that claim too was subsequently refuted as false. July 9, 2004 Ridge Warns of 'Credible' al-Qaida Plot President Bush's approval rating slipping as a result of setbacks in the Iraq war. On July 8, 2004, Republicans, under strong pressure from the White House, narrowly defeated an effort by Democrats to water down the Bush administration's signature law to combat domestic terrorism, THE Patriot ACT. By a 210 to 210 tie vote that GOP leaders prolonged for 23 tumultuous minutes while they corralled dissident members, the House rejected a proposed change to the USA Patriot Act that would have barred the Justice Department from searching bookstore and library records. White House officials, citing the nearly three-year-old law's importance as an anti-terrorism tool, warned that an attempt to weaken it would be vetoed. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A37480-2004Jul8.html On August 1, 2004, just days after the Democratic National Convention nominated presidential candidate John Kerry on a national security platform, the Bush Administration raised its terror threat level to "Code Orange," or high, for certain cities with major financial institutions. In a press conference to announce the change, which stepped on the Kerry storyline coming out of the convention, Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge described the source of the intelligence that led to the color change: Ridge said at this time: [W]e must understand that the kind of information available to us today is the result of the President's leadership in the war against terror. The reports that have led to this alert are the result of offensive intelligence and military operations overseas, as well as strong partnerships with our allies around the world, such as Pakistan. August 20, 2009 Tom Ridge reveals that Attorney General John Ashcroft and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld argued in favor of raising the threat level by noting the correlation it had with Bush's approval rating: Neither Mr. Ridge nor any of the department's security experts thought the message warranted any change in the nation's alert status. http://thinkprogress.org/2009/08/20/ridge-book-ashcroft-rummy/ To understand the import of this admission, we must remember the politically charged mood of national insecurity that dominated in 2004. For months, there had been significant buzz about a possible Al Qaeda attack, which never materialized. The issue became a regular topic of debate and discussion within the media, spreading a message of continuing insecurity that clearly aided President Bush's campaign themes. A week after the alerts were raised in August, for instance, the discussion of another attack dominated the Sunday talk shows. As CNN noted at the time, "The decision to raise the alert level to orange, or elevated, for specific buildings in New York City; Newark, New Jersey; and Washington, D.C., has been criticized because it was based at least partly on information three or four years old." By late October, The New York Times was writing about just how little was known about any possible plans for an attack. On November 10, 2004 just eight days after President Bush was elected for the second time), the Department of Homeland Security downgraded the "orange" alert for the financial services sector back to "yellow". The threat had apparently passed. http://www.welfarestate.com/wtc/faketape/ Twenty-Three Intel Experts Say LA Terror Plot a Sham http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NewsViewsnolose/message/240 A dirty bomb is NO more dangerous than a regular bomb.
