-Caveat Lector- Dave Martin ( DCDave) adds to or knowledge of 9-11 suspect Warren Buffett----- Original Message -----From: David MartinSent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 7:41 PMSubject: Re: Thank you Brian Quig for this new info: DAMNING EVIDENCE OF WARREN BUFFETT 911 ROLE!!For what it is worth, Warren Buffett was at that high level media executives conference at which Katharine Graham suffered the fatal "fall" that, apparently no one witnessed and no one called any emergency people concerning. Come to think of it, as I recall he may even have been the organizer of that event. The Boise Idaho newspaper, and only that newspaper, reported that Ms. Graham had "multiple skull fractures." Some fall, I'd say, on a dry, flat surface, no matter how old she was!Here's an exchange I had on Usenet at the time on the subject. After the 9-11 incident occurred, I have wondered if the powerful Ms. Graham might have been privy to the planning and had strongly registered her disapproval. Considering the extremely curious way in which the reporting of her "accident" and death were reported, I think such speculation is entirely warranted, and maybe there is a connection to Buffett.p.s. I learned directly from the local police that there was no police investigation of the death.From: David Martin ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

Date: 2001-08-28 16:46:01 PSTWhat on earth are we going to do about this critical faculty famine in the country? I ask a simple, straightforward question and no one seems to know how to even begin to answer it. I did not ask for speculation. I did not ask for opinions. My question certainly had nothing to do with whether any of us like Katharine Graham or whether any of you like me. I asked if anyone witnessed Katharine Graham's fall. Still, no one seems to know. Is there no enterprising reporter out there who showed up on the scene in Sun Valley, Idaho, to ask if anyone saw the fall? If the fall was witnessed, how do they say she managed to fall so forcefully as to cause fatal brain damage, if that's what it was that killed her? I'm having great difficulty picturing it in the one season of the year when you are sure not to have ice on the walk in Sun Valley. If no one witnessed the fall, how do they know that the apparent brain injury was caused by a fall? Now one of the blow-hard respondents, behind a smoke screen of insults, said that he had read that there were witnesses, but he seems to have been the only one. And he has not followed up with an actual news story. At this point I can only conclude that his memory is faulty or he was lying. He was also among those imploring me with epithets that I dig up the information myself. Well, I have looked on Net archives and they all say simply that she fell on a concrete walkway and only imply that she hit her head. That's it. Oh, there was this one from an offbeat story that, like so many mainstream news stories these days, relied on an anonymous source: N E W S B L U E Z E T T E Wednesday, July 18, 2001 A daily newsletter, produced by www.newsblues.com, for TV professionals. Bluezette is sponsored by Silverscape Technologies. www.silverscape.net ====================================================== ---Tipped Golf Cart Killed Graham ----Louisiana Company Scraps Indiana News -----Quick, Get The Airbrush ------Your Station For Nudes -------No-Show Surrender --------Vote Early, Vote Often ---------News You Can Lose ----------Mrs. Bluezette's Grammar Corner ------------------------------------------------------------------- Got News? Let us know. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Search the Bluezette archives at http://newsblues.com/Secure/Bluezette/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- TIPPED GOLF CART KILLED GRAHAM Despite widespread reports in the Washington Post, New York Times and Associated Press, an eyewitness to the accident that took the life of Katharine Graham insists the 84-year-old former publisher was in a golf cart that tipped over while making a sharp turn on an asphalt walkway. His claim directly challenges the company's statement that Mrs. Graham "suffered a head injury when she fell on a concrete walkway outside a condominium in Sun Valley, Idaho." According to the source, who works for a major news network, "The story about falling during a walk is bullshit." He says resort employees rushed her to a Sun Valley emergency care facility where doctors determined her injuries were beyond the scope of anything they could handle. She was stabilized and airlifted in a new twin-engine Bell 222 helicopter (known affectionately as "Deuce") on a difficult 100 mile flight along the ridges of the Sawtooth National Forest. Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center, in Boise, Idaho, which received the critically injured woman late Saturday is touted as the "flagship trauma center of Idaho," the state's only Level II trauma center. Mrs. Graham underwent surgery Sunday for the head injury, which caused massive bleeding in her brain. She remained in critical condition in the hospital's intensive care unit for nearly two days and never regained consciousness. Graham's son, Donald Graham, chairman of the board of The Washington Post Company, was at her bedside when she was pronounced dead at 11:56AM Tuesday. The funeral service will be Monday at 11 a.m. at Washington National Cathedral. ----------- This strikes me as a false lead. Why does the source want to remain anonymous, and if she fell from a golf cart, why would they lie about it? The fact that a bizarre story like this is being floated is the sort of thing that begins to make me suspicious. --------- DC Dave Author of "Upton Sinclair and Timothy McVeigh," "America's Dreyfus Affair, the Case of the Death of Vincent Foster," & "Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression" http://thebird.org/host/dcdave news:alt.thebird Professor Vonroach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > On Tue, 28 Aug 2001 08:40:04 -0400, "TomS" > <Bhigheart@don'tspammehotmail.com> wrote: > > >President Bush said in a statement yesterday.

Date: 2001-08-18 06:06:11 PSTJuly 25, 2001 She Needed Fewer Friends The High Life of Katharine Graham Joe Pulitzer famously said, "A newspaper has no friends." Looking at the massed ranks of America's elites attending Katharine Graham's funeral in Washington last Monday, it's maybe churlish to recall that phrase, but it's true. At least in political terms Mrs Graham had way too many friends. Her newspaper had its hour when she had real enemies, when Nixon's attorney general was screaming his famous threat and when Nixon was threatening to pull her company's Florida tv licenses. The twin decisions, concerning the Pentagon Papers and Watergate, that made Mrs Graham's name as a courageous publisher, came at precisely the moment when, in biographical terms, she was best equipped to handle pressure. She'd had eight years to overcome the initial timidities that bore down on her after Phil Graham's suicide left her with a newspaper she resolved to run herself. But the amiable but essentially conservative bipartisanship that had the notables of each incoming administrations palavering happily in her dining room hadn't yet numbed the spinal nerve of the Post as any sort of spirited journalistic enterprise. Mrs Graham sustained her fatal fall during an annual confab of the nation's biggest media and e-billionaires, organized by the investment banker Herb Allen and held in Sun Valley, Idaho. In truth it was a richly symbolic setting for Mrs Graham's exit. Sun Valley was developed as a resort by the Harrimans, starting with that ruthless nineteenthc c ntury railroad king, E.H. Harriman. That quintessential insider, Averell Harriman, was often to be seen at Mrs Graham's house in Georgetown, and it was Averell who once furnished a reminder of the journalistic facts of life so trenchant that every reporter and editor should have it tacked to their walls. Writing in 1943 to his friend James Lovett at the War Department, Harriman rasped his fury that Newsweek had dared question the efficiency of daylight bombing of Germany, a tactic devised by Lovett: "Tell Roland [Averell's brother, then a director of Newsweek, owned by Vincent Astor, who later sold it to Phil Graham] that I am in dead earnest and will brook no compromise. I have not supported Newsweek for ten years through its grave difficulties to allow our hired men to use the magazine to express their narrow, uninformed or insidious ideas Roland has my full authority to use any strong-arm measures he considers necessary the other directors can be asked to resign if they do not go along." Did Mrs Graham privately strong-arm her staff in this fashion? We doubt it. But editors and reporters are not slow to pick up clues as to the disposition of the person who pays the wages, and Mrs Graham sent out plenty of those. In late 1974, after Nixon had been tumbled, Mrs Graham addressed the Magazine Publishers' Association and issued a warning: "The press these days should be rather careful about its role. We may have acquired some tendencies about over-involvement that we had better overcome. We had better not yield to the temptation to go on refighting the next war and see conspiracy and cover-up where they do not exist." She called for a return to basics. Journalists should "stop trying to be sleuths." In other words: The party's over, boys and girls! It's not our business to rock the boat. She repeated the message in 1988 in a speech to CIA recruits titled "Secrecy and the Press": "We live in a dirty and dangerous world. There are some things the general public does not need to know, and shouldn't. I believe democracy flourishes when the government can take legitimate steps to keep its secrets and when the press can decide whether to print what it knows." Mrs Graham had plenty of reasons, material and spiritual, to find excessive boat-rocking distasteful. The family fortune, and the capital that bought and nourished the Post, was founded in part on Allied Chemical, the company run by her father Eugene Meyer. Perhaps because rabble-rousers had derisively taunted her as "Kepone Kate" after a bad Allied Chemical spill in the James River, we remember a hard edge in her voice when she deplored "those fucking environmentalists." Yes, privately her language was agreeably salty. By the early 1980s the leftish liberal Kay Graham of the late 1930s who would amiably associate as a tyro reporter with the red longshoreman leader, Harry Bridges, on the Oakland docks was very long gone. For one thing, there had been the ferocious pressmen's strike in 1975, and the ultimately successful lockout. Rhetorically at least Mrs Graham would not later make the gaffe of equating the sabotage of her plant by the Pressmen's Union with the overall disposition of the AFL-CIO, but she never forgave labor and that strike helped set Mrs Graham and her newspaper on its sedately conservative course. In the early 1980s she associated increasingly with Warren Buffett, the Nebraska investor who bought 13 per cent of the Post's B stock and who was then riding high as America's most venerated stock player, and imperishably hailed in the mid-1980s by an ad man (to the New York Times) thus: "Long ago Warren identified communications companies as the bridge between the manufacturer and the consumer." Graham became a big-picture mogul, pickling herself in the sonorous platitudes of the Brandt Commission, on which she served. Probably the most tedious (and useless) interview ever published by the Post, or any newspaper for that matter, was Mrs Graham's interview in Moscow about the minutiae of arm-control with General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev. Another press mogul, Lord Northcliffe, founder of Britain's popular press, once famously advised his reporters, "Never lose your sense of the superficial", by which he meant, "Be sprightly, make our readers sit up." What would Northcliffe have said about the Post's nadir, symbolic of what Mrs Graham had allowed, maybe even had urged to happen: the 7-part, multi-thousand word series published in January, 1992. The series launching this election year was by two of the Post's most prominent reporters, David Broder and Bob Woodward, who "for six months followed the Vice President everywhere"and "spent an unprecedented amount of time interviewing Mr Quayle", discovering after these labors that the derided veeplet was a much undertestimated statesman of wise and discriminating stature. In the early 1990s we used to get copies of letters sent to the Post's editors and ombudsman by Julian Holmes, a Maryland resident with a career in the Navy Weapons Lab, who read the Post diligently every day, firing off often acute and pithy criticisms. In all, Holmes told us the other day from his Maine home, he sent some 130 such letters to the Post and achieved a perfect record of zero published. Deploring the Quayle series in a letter sent ombudsman Richard Harwood on January 22, 1992, Holmes pointed out that nowhere in the "in-depth" exam of Quayle could be found the words crime, public land, population, health care, oil, capital punishment, United Nations, Nicaragua, unemployment, homeless or AIDS. "Perhaps," Holmes wrote, "the explanation for these obviously shallow interviews lies in the institutional philosophy of the Washington Post Company and in the kinds of writers the Post hires." (You can see why Holmes didn't get published in the Post.) No need to labor the point. The basic mistake is to call the Washington Post a liberal paper, or its late proprietor a liberal in any active sense, unless you want to disfigure the word by applying it to such of her friends as Robert McNamara. When it came to war criminals she was an equal opportunity hostess. In her salons you could meet Kissinger, an old criminal on the way down, or Richard Holbrooke, a young 'un on the way up. The Post's basic instincts have almost always been bad. Former mayor Marion Barry had some pro-forma kindly words for Katharine Graham after her death but we've always thought that one decisive verdict on the Post's performance in a city with a major black population came with that jury verdict acquitting Berry on the cocaine bust. Those jurors knew that the Post, along with the other Powers That Be, was on the other side from Barry, and we've no doubt that firmed up their assessment of the evidence. In that quarter, for sure, neither the Post nor Mrs Graham had an excessive amount of friends. CP--------
