My Pet (Scape)Goat-The Ghost President
Part 2 of the Political Obituary of George W Bush
The Story So Far.....
In
my previous blog I critically examined the parameters of responsibility
that attaches to the US president George W Bush following the
Washington coup of 2001.
This
is a subject that has attracted a lot of attention amongst commentators
and forensic historians and has been a focus for the anti-war movement
in America and their mantra of 'Bush Knew'.
How
much Bush knew is open to speculation, but given his learning
disability and penchant for taking time off work to have fun, there is a
suggestion that the answer could very well be... not a lot.
For
reasons outlined in my previous blog, Bush may not be intellectually
capable of knowing a lot about anything that requires an enduring
concentration span, there are serious reasons for making that assertion
in the light of psychiatric and psychological assessments referenced in
part1 of this blog.
Some
readers might say that this 'political obituary' of George W Bush is
premature whilst his presidential tenure continues. I would answer in
fact that it is over six years late and that Bush was politically
assassinated on 11 September 2001, since which time he has been a ghost president
There
appears to be a body of evidence supporting the theory that at the time
of the putsch Bush was faced with a choice which pretty well amounted
to capitulation or annihilation.
From his continued presence at the White House it is obvious which choice he made.
So what is the evidence for a physical assassination attempt/threat in Sarasota, Florida in September 2001?
This story has been conveniently 'lost' in the mainline media, but that hasn't always been the case.
According
to a timeline of events of 9/11 by Allan Wood and Paul Thompson (May
2003) a number of corporate media organs carried stories of strange
goings on in Sarasota that day.
These
reports were of course knocked out of the news by what happened next at
the World Trade Center Buildings 1,2 and 7; the Pentagon and on Flight
93 before it apparently crashed at Shanksville Pa following an allegedly
'heroic' struggle between the passengers and the hijackers.
Bush awoke a little before 6:00 a.m. on September 11, pulled on shorts and an old T-shirt and laced up his running shoes. [CBS, 11/1/02]
At 6:30 a.m., Bush, a reporter friend, and his Secret Service crew took
a four-mile jog in the half-light of dawn around a nearby golf course. [Washington Post, 1/27/02 .
Nothing
unusual there, Bush is a creature of habit and this is the way he copes
with the pressures of the job. Bush's obsessional traits means that he
can be relied upon to follow the same daily regime compulsively, it
really matters to him more than the lives of millions ever did, it what
keeps him minimally 'together'.
A story appeared in a local Florida newspaper, the 26
Sept. 2001 edition of the weekly 'Longboat Observer' in which there is a
rumour of a foiled assassination attempt against Bush whilst he was on
their patch.
At
about the same time Bush was getting ready for his jog, a van carrying
several Middle Eastern men pulled up to the Colony's guard station. The
men said they were a television news crew with a scheduled "poolside"
interview with the president. They asked for a certain Secret Service
agent by name. The message was relayed to a Secret Service agent inside
the resort, who hadn't heard of the agent mentioned or of plans for an
interview. He told the men to contact the president's public relations
office in Washington, DC, and had the van turned away. [Longboat Observer, 9/26/01]
Two days before this in Afghanistan Ahmed
Shah Massoud, leader of theNorthern Alliance, had been murdered by a
similar ruse. Two North African men, posing as journalists from "Arabic
News International," had been requesting an interview with Massoud since
late August. Ahmad Jamsheed, Massoud's secretary, said that by the
night of September 8, "they were so worried and excitable, they were
begging us." An interview was arranged for the following day. As it
began, a bomb hidden in the video camera exploded, killing the two
journalists. Massoud was rushed by helicopter to a hospital in
Tajikistan, but was pronounced dead on arrival (although his death was
not acknowledged until September 15). [International Policy Institute for Counter-Terrorism, 10/30/01, Newsday, 10/26/01]
Police
and Secret Service personnel had been tipped off by a certain
Zainlabdeen Omer that an attempt was being planned on Bush's life by
someone known only as 'Ghandi' an ironic nom de plume and a unexpected
Arab television crew did turn up at Bush's resort the Colony at Longboat
Key seeking an interview with him.
Later
on the morning of September 11, the Secret Service searched a Sarasota
apartment looking for further corroboration of Zainlabdeen Omer's report
of an assassination threat. Three Sudanese men were questioned for
about ten hours. The Secret Service also raided a beauty supply store in
Sarasota, whose owner, identified as "Hakim," told the agents that
"Ghandi" was a member of the Sudanese People's Liberation Army (SPLA), a
group fighting against the fundamentalist Muslim government in Sudan. [Hopsicker, 7/22/02]
The SPLA was established a CIA./ Mossad backed insurrectionist militia group in war torn Sudan.
Most
objective commentators conclude that Bush knew of the attack on the WTC
by the time his motorcade arrived at the Emma Booker elementary school
in Sarasota to famously read 'My Pet Goat' to the young children there.
After
his jog, Bush showered, then sat down for his daily intelligence
briefing around 8 a.m. "The President's briefing appears to have
included some reference to the heightened terrorist risk reported
throughout the summer, but contained nothing specific, severe or
imminent enough to necessitate a call to [National Security Advisor]
Condoleezza Rice." [Telegraph, 12/16/01]
Accounts of when Bush's motorcade left for the school vary from 8:30 to 8:39. [8:30, Washington Post, 1/27/02, 8:35, Sarasota Magazine, 9/19/01, 8:39, Washington Times, 10/7/02]
One account has the Bush party leave the Colony suite at 8:30 and drive
away at 8:39. Whenever he left, the motorcade travelled quickly: The
police shut down traffic in both directions, leaving roads deserted for
Bush's long motorcade, which travelled at 40 mph, “running red lights
with impunity."
If
the bogus TV crew which had tried to 'interview' Bush had been planning
to murder him it was not the last threat Bush faced on that fateful
day.
When
Bush is officially said to have been notified of the 9/11 attacks as he
sat in that Florida classroom something eerily familiar was taking
place around him, namely 'security stripping'. Bush was vulnerable and
hardly protected at that school and for a long time afterwards on
Airforce One as it zigzagged around the country while Bush was
repeatedly warned not to return to Washington DC.
Allegations
of security stripping will be familiar to those who have studied both
the assassinations of John F Kennedy and Martin Luther King. In both
cases it is alleged that the usual layers of security were stripped to
the bare bone on the days they were killed. Bush's security on the
ground at Sarasota and in the air on Air Force One which took off and
flew for an more than an hour without a fighter escort appears to have
been inexplicably compromised, given the events of 11 September 2001
According
to Webster G Tarpley in his book '9/11 Synthetic Terror' Bush's flight
on Airforce One code named 'Angel' indicates the real perpetrators of
the 'synthetic terror' attack that happened on 9/11.
During
a question and answer session in November 2007 Tarpley explains why
this use of a top secret code word is so significant. Here is an extract
of that interview:-
Q. Now, you have a section called ‘Angel is next.’ What do you mean by ‘Angel is next.’?
Tarpley: “Look,
this is a forgotten clue of 9/11, which seems to me is the most
important, because this is when the invisible government speaks. You may
remember that at one point during the morning, 10:00 probably on 9/11, a
death threat against Bush came into the Secret Service, saying, Angel
is next. It essentially means, Air Force One will be shot down as the
next step in these developments.
There’s
no doubt that this telephone call took place, it was confirmed by
Cheney indirectly, Condoleeza Rice very directly, many other Republicans
directly, then later on it was denied. ‘Oh it was a confused or garbled
message that came in.’
At
the beginning it seemed to serve Bush, because it seemed to explain why
he had gone from Florida to Louisiana to Nebraska. Why he had been
running across the country, scurrying away, instead of taking up his
position in Washington, but as time went on, that became less important,
and what became more important was that with this little message, you
are opening up the world of the secret government which otherwise hardly
appears to the superficial observer.
‘Angel
is next.’ Implies the top-secret codename or codeword for the
Presidential aircraft, Air Force One. I go into intelligence agency
reports, now let me just make a parenthesis, (9/11 didn’t occur in a
vacuum, it occurs in a world in which there are others watching. Who’s
watching? Well, Russia’s watching, Israel’s watching very much, the
French are watching, there’s Germans, Japan…), what I found is 3
separate reports, one is the Réseau Voltaire which is obviously
benefiting from leaks from French intelligence. The Réseau Voltaire
version, which came out September 20th (or) 25th, says that the ‘Angel
is next.’ phone call came complete with top secret codeword, across a
variety of agencies, suggesting that the people that were behind the
attacks were a powerful faction inside the US intelligence community and
government in general.
And
that secondly, they had the nuclear launch codes in their possession.
This report goes on to say that the Bush team thought during most of the
day, that they were the target of a military coup. And it was only
somehow later in the day that the situation was recomposed. Now what
would it mean”?
