The target of the reactionary attack in New York and Washington
on 11.09, which killed over 6,000, mainly civilians, and caused
enormous destruction, clearly above all was the people: The
people in the USA quite directly, indirectly that in the other
"rich" countries too. And not least were the masses of people
in the many oppressed and internationally exploited countries a
target.

The circumstances of this attack, even those which are publicly
known so far, make it highly unlikely that it was carried out
without the involvement of some circles within the imperialist
"establishment" of the USA itself.

One line of reactionary propaganda now, the crudest and most
primitive one and a main theme of practically all the interna-
tional mass media, is that the "democratic" or "free" world was
hit by some evil forces or other, based in locations "not yet
precisely known" but "most probably" "mainly in the Middle
East". One "main suspect" even was pointed to, by some media,
within hours, indeed minutes, after the attack began, with US
officials including the president later "confirming" this pur-
ported suspicion, as a preparation for an attack "in retalia-
tion" possibly against Afghanistan, possibly against other
countries (too) in the same region - "this must have been in-
stigated and led by Osama bin Laden or by some forces under his
command".

This is a completely mendacious "theory". Nothing resembling
proof for it has been presented either. The "conclusions" drawn
from it, that a military action by the rulers of the USA and by
various allies of theirs against any such country would be
"justified" or "could contribute towards ending" such atroci-
ties as those in the USA on 11 September, are completely false.
Such actions must be opposed everywhere and if possible preven-
ted.

Also is the theory, advanced by some others who may be well-
meaning, that this attack was planned and carried out in order
somehow to counter the equally vile and much bigger terror by
US imperialism and its allies against the oppressed peoples in
the world, a false one.

No organization or group of people which in any way whatsoever
is striving to represent the interests of the oppressed peoples
and nations could possibly believe that such an attack, such an
atrocity against thousands of ordinary people in the USA, might
serve these interests. Nor is there any organization whose
claim to be fighting for the liberation of a nation could be
taken seriously in any way which has such big resources as
there obviously were behind the co-ordinated attacks in the USA
on 11 September.

Religiously fanatical persons probably were used, for the hi-
jackings and the kamikaze attacks themselves. They may have
been persuaded that they were "serving a good cause". But the
organizers of these atrocities clearly had extremely reactio-
nary aims. The precisely wanted to create, in the USA and
worldwidely, such a climate of terror as that which is reigning
now.


SOME VOICES OF VARIOUS OBSERVERS WHO
ARE DOUBTING THE "OFFICIAL" STORY

In a message sent to many addresses on Tue, 11 Sep 2001
17:59:29 +0100, from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and <news
@psyopnews.com>, subject "World Trade Center Analysis by
PsyOpNews.com", it was stated i.a.:

[QUOTE:]

PsyOp: Psych-war operation staged to alter perceptions more
...
TERROR-4-RENT PSYOP MEANS WAR, MARKET CRASH
11th September, 2001
...
Anyone daring to make this type of attack has the highest level
of political cover. Cover from an external ememy of the USA or
indeed, cover from indside the Anglo-American-Israeli NWO set.
Lately, you can buy terror on the open market at bargain base-
ment rates. Either way, this is a massive terror PsyOp - a
psychological operation.
...
Already, a released-then-denied Palestinian claim of responsi-
bility has ensured that everyone is looking in the 'right'
direction for the culpits. An old trick, that. A signature,
even. Phones are down too - ensuring that 'event' controlers
have things running on course. Another signature.

An article at http://www.emperors-clothes.com posted on 15.09,
"Criminal Negligence or Treason - Commentary on a NY Times ar-
ticle by Jared Israel", argued i.a.:

[QUOTE:]

We cannot say with certainty what happened Sept.11 - that is,
what really happened, behind the scenes.

But the following report from the semi-official 'N.Y. Times'
makes it clear that either Americans are being lied to by the
those in the highest places - which if true has the gravest
implications - or Washington's New World Order is ruled by
criminally negligent morons.

In an analysis of the 9-11 nightmare, which we have been pre-
paring, one of the things we asked is: how could the so-called
third plane stay in the air, hijacked, for almost an hour after
two other hijacked planes had struck the WTC Towers, and not be
seen and intercepted by U.S. air defense forces? How could it
fly to the Midwest, turn around and fly back to Washington, to
the Pentagon, undisturbed?

One openly-bourgeois and openly-pro-US-imperialist person in
the USA itself, Lyndon LaRouche, who is leading a "non-main-
stream" group opposing certain policies of the US "establish-
ment" while very much agreeing with the main rulers of the USA
in opposing proletarian revolution in the world, said in a
statement on 18.09 (after a previous similar one on 15.09)
i.a.:

[QUOTE:]

First of all, what has happened to the United States on last
Tuesday, the 11th, it came under attack by a mysterious force,
which I know is some kind of rogue operation {inside} the se-
curity screen of the United States. This did not come from the
Middle East. It didn't come from Europe. It didn't come from
South America. There may be people who are nationals from other
parts of the world who were involved in this, but the operation
is very sophisticated, and no one could do an operation like
this, from {outside} the United States at present; there's no
one who could do what was done here then.

So, we know it's a very high-level rogue operation inside our
own country.

Some other political forces, including other openly-bourgeois
ones, in various other countries have made statements in simi-
lar directions, with conclusions about the origins and motives
of the attackers, statements which are noteworthy because they
probably in one way or another contain parts of the truth.



SOME DETAILS NOTED BY VARIOUS OBSERVERS

Writing for the newsletter "CounterPunch" on 12.09, Alexander
Cockburn and Jeffrey St Clair stated i.a.:

[QUOTE:]

CounterPunch has learned from two sources that a) three weeks
before the attack of September 11 security at the World Trade
Center was abruptly heightened and that b) six weeks before
the attack a US army base in New Jersey was placed on top
security alert.

Some writers have discussed the possibility of involvement of
the intelligence agency of the Israeli zionists, not advancing
any proof of such involvement. But one statement in this con-
nexion is of interest; it should be investigated whether it in
fact is true:

"Eman A. Hassaballa" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 17.09 in
a mail sent to the AntiNATO mailing list i.a.:

[QUOTE:]

With the announcement of the attacks at the World Trade Center
in New York, the international media, particularly the Israeli
one, hurried to take advantage of the incident and started
mourning 4000 Israelis who work at the two towers. Then sud-
denly, no one ever mentioned anything about those Israelis and
later it became clear that they remarkably did not show up in
their jobs the day the incident took place. No one talked about
any Israeli being killed or wounded in the attacks.

Arab diplomatic sources revealed to the Jordanian al-Watan
newspaper that those Israelis remained absent that day based
on hints from the Israeli General Security Apparatus, the Sha-
bak, the fact which evoked unannounced suspicions on American
officials who wanted to know how the Israeli government learned
about the incident before it occurred, and the reasons why it
refrained from informing the U.S. authorities of the informa-
tion it had.

Suspicions had increased further after Israeli newspaper Yadiot
Ahranot revealed that the Shabak prevented Israeli premier
Ariel Sharon from traveling to New York and particularly to the
city's eastern coast to participate in a festival organized by
the Zionist organizations in support of the "Israel". Aharon
Bernie, the commentator at the newspaper, brought up the issue
and came up with a negative conclusion, saying "no answer". He
then asked about the clue behind the Shabak's position in pre-
venting Sharon's participation, and again without giving an
answer.

Bernie added that Sharon, who was delighted for having his
speech on top of the festival agenda, asked the head of the
organization to mediate and convince the Shabak to change its
position, but his attempts were in vein. The next day after
Sharon's secretary officially announced that Sharon would not
participate the incident took place.

To the same mailing list, "Heather" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on
19.09, subject "Re israeli connection", i.a.:

[QUOTE:]

Please look into this. Is this true? This is too big a thing
to have "out there."

Who can reliably check this out? There are other strange
things:

1. The passport of one hijacker miraculously made it through
the crash, conflagration, and  building collapse to float con-
veniently down intact to be picked up by a passer-by.

2. One of the bags allegedly not loaded on the Boston plane had
a Koran and a fuel calculator and "how to fly" instructions.
How convenient. The only piece of baggage that didn't get
loaded was this incriminating evidence pointing to an Islamic
perpetrator.

BRIEFLY ON THE SITUATION IN THE WORLD, ON SOME
RAGING CONFLICTS IN IT, AND ON EARLIER EXPERIENCE
OF "PSY-OPS" AND SO-CALLED "TERRORIST" ATTACKS

As pointed out in several earlier Infos, the situation in the
world today above all is characterized by a putrefaction of
the entire reigning international system of capitalism and im-
perialism. The conflict between the ruling imperialist bour-
geoisie, on the one hand, and the workers and the oppressed
peoples in the world, on the other, has become extremely acute.

With a number of desperate, extremely reactionary actions and
campaigns in the political, economic and cultural fields, in-
cluding such which intend to beat back the very development of
industry, science and technology in the world, the imperia-
lists, led by the US imperialists, since several decades back
have been hitting out at the people in all countries, striving
to prolong that long-since outdated system of society of theirs
which more and more needs to be overthrown. But these campaigns
more and more have met with resistance by the people in many
countries, despite the fact that there are practically no ge-
nuinely communist, genuinely Marxist-Leninist organized forces
in the world any more, which could provide guidance for and
lead this resistance; the formerly existing such have been sub-
verted and crushed to a large extent.

The imperialist aggressions against oppressed peoples and na-
tions, the largest one against the DR Congo in Africa in order
to "punish" that nation for its starting to set up a genuinely
democratic, anti-imperialist regime, and the likewise conti-
nuing ones against Iraq and Yugoslavia, taking the also reac-
tionary traits of the regimes in these countries as pretexts,
are meeting with massiove resistance too. And so are the ef-
forts by the ruling bourgeoisie massively to increase interna-
tional exploitation under the hypocritical watchword of "glo-
balization", by which is meant, not actual international co-
operation, in the interests of the many, but the imposing of
conditions favouring only the even bigger enrichment of a tiny
minority.

Certainly in this situation all sorts of arch-reactionaries in
the world have seen a "great need" to go over from covert war
against the masses of people to open such, with such atrocities
as those in the USA on 11.09 and with such "conclusions" as
they themselves now are drawing from these attacks.

In Europe, there since the early 1970s is a long experience
with so-called "terrorism", reactionary provocations by groups
such as the "RAF" or "Baader-Meinhof gang" in Germany, the
"Red Brigades" in Italy etc, whose various purported "actions
against imperialism" again and again have occurred at such
points in time and under such circumstances that it has been
very clear that they could only favour either US imperialism,
the former Soviet social-imperialism or sometimes (also) Isra-
eli zionism, groups which have eventually clearly been demon-
strated to have direct connections to, indeed to be muppets of,
various intelligence services of reactionary powers. Their ac-
tions can be characterized as "PsyOps", a term used by one
writer quoted above.

On the American continent too, the phenomenon of planned or
actually undertaken "PsyOps" is not a new one. The conspiracy
to murder the US president Kennedy in 1963 is one infamous
example, considerable details of which were disclosed in the
1987 book by Jim Garrison, "On the Trail of the Assassins" and
the 1992 film based on it, "JFK" - despite this, the "official"
story still is that the carefully "groomed" patsy Oswald was
the actual murderer. In connection with the atrocities on 11.09
now, some writers who have read some only recently published
documents have directed attention to the so-called "Operation
Northwoods" which some "highly placed" persons in the then US
administration were planning in 1962.

In a mail to the list "CubaNews" on 17.09 for instance, N Y
Transfer News wrote i.a.:

[QUOTE:]

The following excerpt from James Bamford's "Body of Secrets:
Anatomy of the Ultra-Secret National Security Agency" (Double-
day, 2001) provides very disturbing information that is direct-
ly relevant to the events of September 11, 2001.

Indeed, we must wonder if the inexplicable intelligence and de-
fense failures claimed by US Government agencies are simply
part of some elaborate cover story. Even worse, we must con-
sider the possibility that the September 11th attacks on New
York and Washington were simply a bigger, badder version of the
Gulf of Tonkin "incident," which was successfully foisted upon
a gullible US public to push them into supporting the war
against Vietnam.

Bamford begins Chapter Four of his book by describing the bi-
zarre cold-war atmosphere in the US in 1960, with the witch-
hunts of McCarthyism a recent event, and US military leadership
full of paranoid arch-reactionary attitudes.
......

According to secret and long-hidden documents obtained for Body
of Secrets, the Joint Chiefs of Staff drew up and approved
plans for what may be the most corrupt plan ever created by the
U.S. government.  In the name of anticommunism, they proposed
launching a secret and bloody war of terrorism against their
own country in order to trick the American public into suppor-
ting an ill-conceived war they intended to launch against Cuba.

Codenamed Operation Northwoods, the plan, which had the written
approval of the Chairman and every member of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, called for innocent people to be shot on American
streets; for boats carrying refugees fleeing Cuba to be sunk on
the high seas; for a wave of violent terrorism to be launched
in Washington, D.C., Miami, and elsewhere.  People would be
framed for bombings they did not commit; planes would be hi-
jacked. Using phony evidence, all of it would be blamed on Cas-
tro, thus giving Lemnitzer and his cabal the excuse, as well as
the public and international backing, they needed to launch
their war.

[END OF QUOTE]

That "particularly corrupt" plan in the end was not carried
out. Among similar plans that - most probably - was, the hos-
tage-taking incident at the Japanese embassy in Lima, Peru,
between December 1996 and April 1997 is worth mentioning.

In Peru, a people's war against the reactionary government of
Fujimori had been going on since 1980, led by the PCP, a party
of genuinely revolutionary character, as far as can be ascer-
tained, though also with serious faults in its line. In a much-
publicized action, a so-called "competing guerilla organiza-
tion" the "MRTA", rather clearly a puppet of US imperialism,
attacked the Japanese embassy in Lima in December 1996 on the
occasion of a gathering of many ambassadors, and took everyone
present hostage; the US ambassador to Peru "happened to" have
left the building half an hour before. Eventually the embassy
was stormed in April 1997 by the forces of Fujimori, who kil-
led several of the hostage-takers.

Several things pointed to this being a "PsyOp" of the US impe-
rialists: Their obvious interest in combating the actual peop-
le's war and creating a false impression concerning it, their
likewise obvious "concern about" the considerable influence of
the Japanese bourgeoisie in Peru and some other South American
countries at the time and their "dissatisfaction" (already)
then with their muppet at that time in Peru, Fujimori, who was
eventually replaced some years later.

In connection with the recent events, this "mode of operation"
of some forces within US imperialism (as it most likely was)
not so long ago also merits attention.
