(See photos at www.fromthewilderness.com). >Their two-and-a- half-hour presentation, including documentary evidence, >was greeted with a standing ovation. > >In a question and answer session after the lecture, not one audience member >questioned that the Bush Administration needed the attacks in order to >mobilize public support for a war to control Central Asian oil reserves and >the cash from the Afghani opium trade. Traditionally, Afghanistan has been >the world's largest producer of opium. > >The G6B -- standing for a global population of six billion people whose >interests need to be balanced against the corporate interests of the >industrialized world -- was a three-day event sponsored by, among others, >the government of Canada, Amnesty International and the University of >Calgary. It brought delegates and activists together from 60 countries. The >counter summit was timed and located in Calgary, Alberta so as to juxtapose >it with the G8 meeting in nearby Kananaskis of the world's eight largest >industrialized nations starting on June 26. > >The first-ever joint presentation involving Ruppert and Chossudovsky, an >economics professor, presented the strongest evidence to date that not only >did the Bush Administration have complete foreknowledge of the attacks and >allow them to happen, but also that the CIA had a direct hand in financing >the attacks. Chossudovsky presented documentary evidence from ABC news, >citing FBI sources, confirming a report that Gen. Mahmud Ahmad, then-chief >of the Pakistani intelligence service (ISI), ordered for $100,000 to be >wired to lead hijacker Mohammed Atta just weeks before the attacks. The new >corroboration from U.S. media, using FBI sources, gave considerable weight >to earlier press stories originating in India linking the ISI to 9/11. >[These new revelations will be the subject of an upcoming story in FTW]. > >"General Ahmad arrived in Washington on Sept. 4 and met with, among others, >his good friend [CIA Director] George Tenet, [Deputy Secretary of State] >Richard Armitage, [Sen.] Joe Biden, [D-Del.,] and the heads of the two >intelligence committees," Chossudovsky said. > >"To me the issue of foreknowledge is a red herring. Osama bin Laden is and >remains to this day a CIA asset. Even now his Al Qaeda operatives are >working with the Kosovo Liberation Army who are U.S. allies and with >U.S.-backed forces in Macedonia. Members of Al Q'aeda have been protected >as they moved into Kashmir where they are now fomenting conflict between >India and Pakistan. > >"The evidence is becoming clearer every day that the U.S. government helped >to plan and fund the Sept. 11 attacks," said Chossudovsky. > >In addition, Chossudovsky has uncovered what may be complicity on the part >of the major media in hiding the smoking gun. Using transcripts from the >Federal Records Service (FRS), Chossudovsky obtained the transcript of a >question posed to National Security Adviser Condoleeza Rica at a May 16 >press conference, in which she was asked if she had met with the "ISI >chief" while he was in Washington. The CNN transcript of the event >indicated that the words "ISI chief" were "inaudible" when, in fact, they >were quite audible to the FRS. Rice's response was a troubled, "I have not >seen that report, and he was certainly not meeting with me." > >Chossudovsky painted a broad picture of globalization pushing events toward >a possible nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan by noting that one >U.S. company with strong intelligence and military connections, MPRI of >Vienna, Va., was acting as adviser to both governments. He also noted the >strong links between CIA Director George Tenet and Deputy Secretary of >State Armitage to the leaders of both countries. Chossudovsky also pointed >out that George W. Bush receives daily "personal" intelligence briefings >from the CIA Director -- a custom that has never previously been followed >by any sitting president. Previously most CIA briefings have been delivered >in written format. > >Ruppert, using new evidence of U.S. government foreknowledge disclosed by >major media sources and through recent press conferences, established that >by using only open source material, the U.S. government had warnings that >multiple airliners, most likely from United and American Air Lines would be >hijacked during the week of Sept. 9 and crashed into the twin towers. Using >revelations of intelligence intercepts and a Pentagon drill responding to >an attack from a hijacked airliner staged prior to Sept. 11, Ruppert >established that the Bush Administration's position, which held it had no >hint that aircraft would be used as weapons, was false. Pointing to last >year's G8 summit in Genoa, Italy, Ruppert noted that extensive precautions >had been taken there (including anti-aircraft guns) to prevent just such an >attack. > >A Los Angeles Times story disclosed >that President Bush was the target of the suspected attacks in Genoa. >"Bush ought to be having some interesting conversations with the leaders of >Italy, Germany, France and Russia since it was their intelligence services >who forwarded detailed advance warnings to the CIA throughout the summer of >2001," said Ruppert. "And they referred specifically to suicide attacks >with airliners." > >Ruppert also debunked the notions that the 9-11 attacks were caused by a >lack of cooperation between agencies, and that great numbers of people >would have had to be involved in the U.S. end of the operation. Citing a >BBC TV report by Gregg Palast which showed an FBI report stating that the >Bush administration had ordered the FBI to curtail investigations into bin >Laden relatives, Ruppert demonstrated that orders were coming from levels >above FBI and CIA leadership. Additionally, referring to the recent >memorandum >from FBI Special Agent Colleen Rowley and a press onference >given by FBI Special Agent Robert Wright, Ruppert popped the government's >position that somehow the so-called intelligence "failures" of 9-11 were >the result of negligence. > >"If you look at the text of Rowley's message and listen to what Wright said >at his press conference you hear and see words like, 'obstruct,' ' >deliberately thwart,' 'intimidate,' 'block,' 'harass,' 'dishonest,' >'rewrite,' 'omit,' 'undermine,' 'suppress,' 'punish,' 'retaliate' and >prevent.' These are not words describing negligence. These are words >describing deliberate and willful actions. > >"And if you note from both the Rowley memo, and apparently from the right >press conference, it was only one supervisory special agent at FBI >headquarters who did all of the deliberate work to stop investigations that >could have prevented the attacks. And what did Rowley tell us? Right after >Sept. 11 the agent who had blocked the investigations was promoted!" > >The $64,000 question remains unanswered: Was the agent in Rowley's case >also involved in blocking Wright's Chicago-based investigations into >money-laundering for terrorist groups, including Al Qaeda? In any event, >the Rowley memorandum proves that just a few officials in key positions >could have carried out the 9-11 conspiracy successfully. > >LEAVING ANYWAY BUT KICKED OUT JUST THE SAME -- >A CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH AIR FORCE ONE > >On entering Canada Ruppert was questioned first by Canadian Customs >officials and then by immigration officers. Upon learning that Ruppert was >a journalist and publisher of FTW the immigration officer typed Ruppert's >name into a computer and asked specifically if he was going near the G8 >conference. Ruppert stated that he was only planning on attending the G6B >conference and had plans to return to Los Angeles on June 25. Nonetheless, >the immigration officer stamped Ruppert's passport with a visa dated to >expire on June 26, requiring that he not be in the country when the >conference began. This highly unusual practice was offensive to many >Canadians who pointed out that there are no visa requirements between the >two countries. > >After the lecture, as he was hurrying to the airport, Ruppert was >questioned by the local press who photographed his passport as evidence of >the Canadian government's desire to censor coverage and public access to >the conference. > >Ruppert's departure coincided with the arrival of President George Bush and >two identical 747 aircraft painted with Air Force One markings. He was able >to photograph the arrival of the president and a heavy deployment of >support and security aircraft. Ruppert's flight home was delayed by more >than an hour.
