Losing One's Faith 9/11 &  Iraq
First mailing sent 05-26-2004


I have respectfully sent this letter, more of a treatise or manifesto actually, in the hope that one person, just one, will be encouraged to investigate the motives of those in power who took this nation to war. Not the facts, not how it happened, for that is already out there for all to see, but why it happened. I am a terrible writer and this is only the second letter I've sent to anyone besides friends and family, never the less I feel obligated to say something about the horror that is being done in the name of this country.

I realize it's to long and it probably doesn't meet your standards for publication, however I do hope it will start some of you thinking. No acknowledgement needed for publication or distribution. Share it with those who would be interested.

If you wish a street address or phone number please e-mail me with your request.

Losing One's Faith : 9/11 & Iraq 05-24-2004

Faith Betrayed : by M. P. G.

For many years I was a believer, I believed in America, I believed the evil things this country did in the past were always done by a small selfish minority and that the vast majority of it's citizens always tried to do the right thing. That over time, truth would win out, justice would prevail, right would triumph over might, your vote would count, and the 'Big Lie' could not succeed in our society with it's "free press" and constitutional checks and balances.

In less then three years everyone one of these beliefs has been shattered and I no longer hold such childish illusions. The evil that our nation is committing is assuredly being done in the name of the majority of its people, the 'Big Lie' has won out over truth, justice has not been done, might triumphed over right, and our votes certainly didn't count. It is quite obvious to me that a majority of my fellow Americans would rather believe in comfortable and convenient fictions then face horrible truths. This self-deception, the ability to delude oneself through half truths or it's hand maiden 'plausible deniability', the ability to self-select your own ignorance, in light of recent events appears to be the main constituents of America's governance and foreign policy.

What has occurred during these three years is evil pure and simple. What the United States is committing is the rape of a country for its oil using the remarkably well-timed tragedy of 9/11 as its justification. Lets us be quite clear about this. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. (101) Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction for many years prior to this invasion. (102)(103)(104) Iraq and Saddam's regime never had a relationship with Al Qaeda. (105)(106) But there ARE people who did and many of them have yet to be brought to account.

The Three Players:

Elements in the current administration had been planning the invasion of Iraq since the first Gulf war in 1992. the Bushes, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Pearl, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft and others whom we'll refer to as the Texas Cabal.(107)(108) Some of these men represented firms who sold Saddam weapons before the first Gulf war. One of them in particular, Rumsfeld represented a firm that sold Saddam biological weapons of mass destruction, (109) George Bush Sr. himself enabled Saddam to obtain biological and chemical weapons prior to the first gulf war (110) Perhaps it's why these 'gentleman' were so convinced Saddam still had these weapons. The Texas Cabal for the last 10 years has had and continues to have investments in companies which are currently reaping enormous profits from the war and will do so in it's aftermath, well known names such as, Halliburton, Kellog Brown & Root, Blackwater, etc.(111)

. "The Saudi sheiks have been Wahhabis since they intermarried with the Family of a puritanical Muslim scholar, Mohammed ibn Abd al-Wahhab, in 1774. Supported first by Britain and later by the United States, the Saudis captured the Muslim holy cities of Mecca and Medina, easily gaining control of the entire Arabian peninsula." (112) The Saudis continue to support Whabbisim, the xenophobic anti-western offshoot of Islam that provides the religious foundation for most of the Sunni terrorists organizations in the Middle East, including Al Qaeda. The Saudis also support and maintain the Madrassas, schools where Whabbisin is taught and were many terrorists are recruited, supported and trained.

Many parties including the C.I.A., the Saudis, of course, Pakistan and others had financed Al Qaeda when it was fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan. "In 1989, bin Laden established al Qaeda (the Base) in Afghanistan to organize extremist Wahhabis and disperse their networks throughout the country".(112) Later after moving back to Saudi Arabia, and then leaving for the Sudan after King Faud allowed in American troops to fight Saddam in the first Gulf war, Osama lambasted the royal family for allowing the infidels to occupy the holy land. Through a series of never ending and proliferating "charities" established and supported by banks and business connected to the Saudi, bin Laden, and Bush families and members of the Texas Cabal, Osama continued to receive much of his funding during the eighties and early nineties. (112)(113) Today he still continues to receive much of his funding from the Saudis.

The Facts & Bill of Particulars :

It has been reported by many that the Bushes, Cheney, the Texas Cabal, the Saudis and the bin Ladens have interlocking financial, business, banking and close personal relationships and have had them for the last twenty to thirty years as typified by companies such as BCCI, the Carlyle group etc. (110)(113)(111)(120)(115)(116)(117)

Before 9/11 when the administration first assumed office they immediately eliminated any laws that would have provided oversight into their activities. They got rid of the special prosecutor act, weakened the freedom of information act, refused to join or abide by the U.N. court regarding crimes against humanity, changed the federal statues to reclassify almost all federal documents top secret (118), took any FOIA request regarding their meetings, such as Cheney's energy task force all the way to the Supreme Court to block these requests. etc. etc.(119)

Prior to 9/11 the Bush administration prevented the FBI from investigating the Saudis and bin Ladens, deliberately "spiking investigations"(120) or "telling them to back off"(121) in their inquires regarding several known terrorists of the bin Laden clan. Also prior to 9/11 the Bush Administration deliberately undermined and under funded anti-terrorism efforts within the U.S. despite repeated warnings of possible Al Qaeda attacks (122)(123). These warnings came from many officials and sources who had determined Al Qaeda was the "imminent threat" but their pleas were continuously ignored.(124), whereas Bush in his push for war prior to 9/11 claimed Iraq was the "imminent threat" a claim which at the time was refuted by George Tenent, director of the CIA [cc](125). Former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill told 60 Minutes that regime change in Iraq was the main topic at the very first meeting of Bush's National Security Council - a full eight months before 9/11. O'Neill said, "It was all about finding a way to do it". That was the tone of it. The president saying 'Go find me a way to do this'"(107) And this testimony was later confirmed to ABC news by another official who attended the same meeting.(126)

On April 30 2001 the Bush Administration specifically removed Osama bin Laden from the U.S's annual terrorism report, reports that in prior years had prominently featured Osama bin Laden as one of the leading terrorists. (127) The Bush Administration, unlike it's predecessor, also somehow failed to use the predator surveillance program to its full effectiveness in tracking down Osama bim Laden in Afghanistan, they did not use it at all for the first eight months of the administration, and when they did, they did not deploy the armed predator until after 9/11. This inaction was supposedly due to internal debates. (128) In the months prior to 9/11 the Bush administration also curtailed a Justice Department program to monitor Al Qaeda activity in the U.S. called "Catchers Mitt" (129)

Prior to 9/11 in 2001, John Ashcroft overruled FBI directors Louis Freeh's attempt to make terrorism a U.S. priority. In a speech Mr. Freeh was to give before FBI special agents a participant stated that "Ashcroft didn't want to hear about it" when Freeh told Ashcroft those were his intentions. (130) Ashcroft reduced anti-terrorism funding in the year before 9/11 by 23% in his first month in office (131) This is the same John Ashcroft who two months prior to 9/11 began traveling by privately leased aircraft at the U.S.'s expense, and refused to fly on the commercial airlines. (132) In the week after 9/11 Bush allowed members of the bin Laden and Saudi families to leave the U.S. without being questioned by the FBI, thereby severely crippling any chance to investigate who was supporting Al Qaeda and what connections there were between Al Qaeda and elements or groups within the U.S. (133) That days after 9/11 the Bush administration had already made the decision to invade Iraq(119) "using the terrorist attacks as justification [for the invasion] despite having [any] proof that Iraq had any connection to Al Qaeda or 9/11" (134)

That the very people who would reap profits from this invasion like Mr. Perle (116) , when approached with peace feelers from Saddam's representatives not surprisingly didn't meet with them (135) That on Feb. 6, 2002 the CIA told the White House there was "no evidence" that Iraq has engaged in terrorist operations in nearly a decade and that the agency was convinced that Saddam had not provided any WMD to Al Qaeda or other related groups.(136) That after 9/11 the bush Administration did every thing they could to ignore Osama bin Laden and Afghanistan in their eagerness to go after Iraq. (137) even including diverting critical resources in the hunt for Osama bin Laden from U.S. forces based in Afghanistan (137) That after our invasion a lengthy search, which cost over 300 million dollars by over 1,200 WMD specialists in Iraq yielded nothing. (102) After the invasion of Iraq was complete the White house selected it's own people to investigate why their were "intelligence failures" regarding Iraq's alleged WMD. Unusually in this case all the commission [dd] members were exempted from the standard background checks designed to avoid conflicts of interest. (138) Bush "negotiated" a session of less then one hour of testimony in front of the 9/11 commission and would only appear if Vice President Cheney accompanied him to the meeting.

The Coincidences :

It is highly implausible that during the ten years of meetings and contacts together between the Saudis, bin Ladens, Bushes, Cheney and the Texas Cabal, that the future conquest of Iraq, and the disposition of Iraq's hundreds of billions of dollars worth of oil, was never discussed. (108) It is also equally improbable that no one mentioned how the U.S. was to be induced to carry out its role as the invading power, and how this 'inducement' was to be accomplished.

Is it merely coincidental that prior to 9/11 these discussions were held with the Saudis the very people who were providing succor, support and direction for Al Qaeda? Is it coincidental that enormous profits were to be generated for all the parties concerned due to their already mentioned interlinked investments once a war started? And to start this war an 'inducement' was needed? Was it accidental that the investigations into the bin Ladens and Saudis prior to 9/11 were "spiked" and the investigators were told to "back off" by the Bush administration? Is it a random series of events that the elimination of Saddam and the occupation of Iraq has increased Saudi power and security, and the war and it's aftermath have increased Bush's and the Texas Cabal's power and wealth. Are all the facts already mentioned in the proceeding paragraphs just accidents of chance? Is the reason why the Saudis have never been investigated after 9/11 because, as the administration so vehemently states, "they're our friends"? Whose friends are they?

Those Who Forget History .... :

Are we to believe that none of these coincidences have anything to do with 9/11? Much to my surprise many Americans believe they don't (139)(140) Perhaps it's because they have forgotten some of history's lessons?

What was 9/11? Was it the Reichstag Fire, which justified crystal nicht and the start of WW II? The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which justified and initiated the start of the Vietnam War? "That dastardly attack" on the Main..."Remember the Main", which justified the Spanish American War? A war whose fires were stoked by the jingoistic articles of newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst, as in an eerie parallel, the Iraq war has been inflamed by the articles of newspaper tycoon Rupert Murdock. Is all of this just an unfortunate, amazing, completely accidental occurrence of facts and circumstances? Of course it is says the media, it's nothing to worry our little heads about.

Are we the conquistadors, 'bringing salvation to the heathens' while slaughtering, and enslaving them and stealing their gold? No, says the media, we are 'bringing democracy to the unenlightened' while 'pacifying' the population and of course 'using their oil to help in the rebuilding process'.

Are we Cecil Rhodes carving out a personal empire once known as Rhodesia with a private army of well-paid mercenaries using, at the time, the brand new Maxim gun to obliterate the Zulu savages? No, says the media, unlike Mr. Rhodes the Texas Cabal and Cheney will use their 25,000 "contractors", paid with Iraq's own oil at the rate of $30,000 to $40,000 a month to control Iraq's destiny only after U.S. troops, much cheaper because they are paid with U.S. taxpayer dollars, 'suppress' the Arab 'terrorists' with the most modern instruments of power ever seen while of course 'sacrificing' 'for the good of their country' their own lives in the process.


The Shame :

Is there no shame? It is amazing to see how the tragic circumstances and coincidences of 9/11 fit so neatly into the plans of those needing a pretext to go to war with Iraq. For the last ten years in reading about government and corporate corruption in the United States, I note with dismay the small number of whistle blowers that have come forward, and of those a disproportionate number of who are woman. Is this because they aren't part of the 'old boy's network'? Is it perhaps because of those who do come forward, all have suffered the consequences of their honesty and integrity (141). What are we to make of this. Is their any one in this country who is not motivated by greed, or more chillingly, by their fear of retribution? What is our nation becoming?

And what about the media, the 'watch dogs of our nation'? What about them? I can understand the greedy motives of the rich and powerful but the spineless, ineffectual, sycophantic, self-serving useless doggerel being passed off as news these days by the 'forth estate' is a disgrace to our forefathers and all those newsman who have endangered and even lost their lives in the past to report the truth.

And why has the government made it so difficult for the families of the 9/11 victims to investigate the Saudis connections to this tragedy? Who are the people in this country who make these decisions? If you 'arrange for things' to happen, does that mean you are somehow no longer culpable for them, is that how it works here? It's not the way I was brought up or taught.

If I have a rich friend, one who has another friend who carry's a grudge, and that friend commits a crime. A crime enabled by the most fortuitous circumstances over which I have control, a crime which 'happens' to profit me and my rich friend's interests, and I have made and continue to make every effort to protect my rich friend from scrutiny, is the one with the grudge, the one encouraged and supported by my rich friend, the one who is....how shall we say... oooh so easy to manipulate, is he and only he the one to be held to account? Are we that gullible, has anyone ever heard of an 'agent provocateur'? Does the term 'setup' mean anything to anyone? How about the term 'murder for hire'? Heck they were just a bunch of New Yorkers... right? Is that how it works in this country? Is this considered cleverness in America? Or justice? Or morality?

Can this country possibly be that venal or stupid?. My attitudes are much more simplistic, some would even say childish, if 9/11 was 'arranged' to happen than everyone, especially every single Federal employee, who impedes, covers up, delays, runs interference, shreds documents, hides the facts, lies, distorts or twists the evidence in any way, is obstructing justice and should be considered a collaborator and an accessory after the fact in the murder of over 3,500 Americans. After all isn't this what Bush himself said and I quote "Anyone who gives a dollar, or offers support to a terrorist is a terrorist themselves". There are no excuses.

I suggest however, to put to rest these terrible doubts all the current administration would have to do is appoint an impartial independent special prosecutor....... oh I forgot they got rid of the special prosecutor act before 9/11 didn't they, how forgetful of me, how 'fortuitous' for them. Oh well..... drats, I guess it doesn't matter then does it?


The Bitter Harvest :

And so I have lost my faith in America, it is why I've written this letter, I will never agree with this war and the horror that led up to it. To the incestuous relationships between the players involved, Al Qaeda, the Saudis, the administration and the Texas Cabal. I will never agree with this wars continued prosecution and the needless, useless, profane waste of lives it entails.

We have already gone down this road to "win the hearts and minds" of another people in another place and time, it was called Vietnam. At least we embarked on that terrible journey for ideological and geopolitical reasons, but to make the same mistake again, and to do it for the greed and personal power of a few is unconscionable. Any actions we take from now on regarding the Middle East and Iraq are forever tainted and doomed to failure by the corrupt circumstances that led up to this war. We are building a house on a foundation of lies and deceit in a sea of sand amongst a hostile, resentful, occupied people and it will be swept away to our utter ruin. We are 'harvesting fruits from the poisonous tree', and a bitter, bitter harvest it will be.
