Sometimes a Cigar is Just a Cigar: Sparkman Committed Suicide

LOL, Willie Brown has lied continuosly throughout his career, when it suits his purpose.

The only ones who had the chance for proof was the 9/11 Commission and that was a sham in the true sense of the word. Of course Bushco or Cheney or any of the players could come out and tell the truth, who knows maybe on their deathbeds?

There is no proof, either way, they did or they didn’t. There is no proof on either side of the equation.

Why would Willie Brown say it, then retract it months later? In fact he denied he said it originally until confronted with the story in the Examiner(hardcopy of the original edition). I don’t really care if he was warned or not, but if he was I sure would like to know why. SF is a major metropolitan area in the US so maybe they thought his city might be included in the attacks? I don’t know but he did say it. SF Examiner has removed the article from their archives………….

After the incident with the USS Cole and Clinton’s subsequent actions, the Taliban sent word to Clinton in Nov 2000 that they would hand over OBL at a pre-arranged place and time. Clinton talked with the incoming Bush administration and they agreed the new administration would move forward with it. The person who acted as the intermediary attempted many times prior to 9/11 to arrange even a meeting to discuss but was rebuffed by the Bush administration. If I can find the original documentation I had on this, I will post it here for you. I am not merely speaking about the 10/01 offer.

Here is a report on AlterNet originally about a book on the subject but also with info on the 9/11 Commission which was a sham as well that gives detail on all the intel Condi Rice ignored:

But 9/11 Commission staff director Philip Zelikow was not interested in pursuing criticisms against Rice. Zelikow

I never said treason, I said if they allowed torture, a crime, to go on, I would believe they also let an attack go on as well. They, in fact, wanted a “cataclysmic event like Pearl Harbor” and they all worked for Bush or in his government. The buck stops with the president…………….

It proves they lie when convenient or to cover up inappropriate, sometimes criminal, activity

That statement was verified? If so those cops are dumber than people who watch faux news. And the FBI bought it?

» Posted By SueInCa On January 16, 2010 @ 9:10 am

Or Watergate, or Iraq. There is case law that indicted FBI for fraud and taking bribes. LAPD and NYPD have more than their share of corruption, Rodney King, J Edgar Hoover and his wiretaps, Nixon, Iran Contra the list goes on and on

I gave you a synopsis of each article and the attachments are not that hard to get through, they are not all that long. And to answer your question, they got away with torture and that is a more accepted/confirmed crime by the public at large. So could they have done this, yes, unlike Woodward and Bernstein, we don’t have real investigative reporting these days. I bet Nixon wished they or Daniel Ellsberg were never born.

One and the same. He was also with Cheney during the entire day on 9/11.

Nellie
Actually O’Neill did an interview with 60 minutes (I believe) which he was told “not to do” and he said it was Priority A within days of the shrub inauguration. They also had referral from Clinton to arrange a pick up from the Taliban of OBL but refused repeatedly to meet with the representative from Feb 2001 on. I could not find my documents on that one, otherwise I could give his name.

Javaz
It was just a walk in the park or time spent in “Midnight in the Garden of “not so Good” and Evil”. These people were evil to the core. When the shrub mentioned the axis of evil, I believe it was projection on his part.

OK Kevin
My grandson is now playing with his Wii so here are the facts you asked for in your comment to me.

Coincidences? No, I don’t think so…………….
All of this evidence is reported by reputable sources and leaves me to believe that BushCo had all intention from the beginning of his administration to attack Iraq and get rid of Saddam Hussein once and for all. 9/11 provided the “pearl harbor catastrophic event” that galvanized the nation against Iraq and Afghanistan. The lies that were told to this nation provides the premise that Bush wanted war with Iraq just as did all the signers of the PNAC letters. In fact these signers were well known in the Bush administration, William Bennet, Richard Armitage, John Bolton, Donald Rumsfeld, Elliott Abrams, Jeffrey Bergner, Zalmay Khalilzad(Ambassador to Iraq) , Paul Wolfowitz served as deputy sec of def, all members of his staff and signers of the letter from PNAC. So, all of the signers of the letter were taken care of in key positions in the Bush administration, except for William(Bill) Kristol.(see below)

Richard Pearlman worked on the Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee from 1987 to 2004. He was Chairman of the Board from 2001 to 2003 under the Bush Administration.

James Woolsey Within hours of the 9/11 attacks appeared on television suggesting Iraq complicity. In 2002 he told The Wall Street Journal that Iraq (he believed) was also connected to the Alfred P Murrah Fed Building in OK City

Zoellick was the United States Trade Representative, he later became Dep SOS

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Schneider,_Jr.
He served on the nuclear weapons panel for the Institute for Public Policy, later appointed to the Defense Science Board by Donald Rumsfeld

Sorry K7 but all you have done so far is make accusations, with no citations to prove they did not allow it to happen. We all have our own opinions and they should be respected. I will write something up for you when I have time. Right now I have my grandson for the weekend and he comes first. Our debate can wait.

» Posted By SueInCa On January 14, 2010 @ 7:27 pm

Remember K7 it is a debate. It would be interesting to debate it with you. i don’t necessarily call myself a truther in the true sense of the word, but I do believe they let it happen, without taking any proactive steps.

» Posted By SueInCa On January 14, 2010 @ 4:49 pm

I know some of your facts and quite frankly I am more of the opinion they let it happen, wanted it to happen just like Darth Cheney still does today………..there is plenty of fact to back that up.

» Posted By SueInCa On January 14, 2010 @ 3:56 pm

K7 I did not say they were, I just alluded to the fact they are not above it, with the cases I cited

The only question I would have is that I thought his hands were bound and tied behind his back. I read that somewhere but cannot find it now. Either way, it was a tragic ending to someone’s life. As far as trusting the government or the police, all I have to say is their history is not all that great some of the more famous incidents are: the Rampart scandal in LAPD, the KNAPP commission(Frank Serpico), the Mollen commission, Amadou Bailo an unarmed man shot 19 times, all in NYPD, People v. Auld, governmental misconduct led to dismissal against Auld, U.S. v Lanci FBI agent taking bribes, so rather than being relagated to a certain area, it is more widespread in our country.

Why The Revolution Won’t Be Televised

Great piece, WTS. Oh for just one moment just the thought planted that someone was going to take away television. But you are right, not going to happen. Not only are the masses hooked, so are the people making money hand over fist providing the droll to us. Although I am not addicted to any of the shows you mention, I do watch L&O SVU, The Biggest Loser, L&O reg version and Cold Case regularly. Otherwise, TV is a box with noise for me. Oh and I do listen to Sirius on TV as well. My favorites are, reggae, hawaiian and 60’s with Brucie LOL. There is alot of good music coming out of Hawaii, you just have to like the occasional true hawaiin throwbacks.

Words that make you cringe

Escribacat and Javaz
I think it is more the white person using the term to describe a black person. Same as the rap groups using the term “n” or them talking to each other using the same term. I am not sure it is right on either side. Now that you mention it, I think it is a bit strange that they have never changed it. The only thing I can imagine is the cost to do so. When Washoe hospital in reno changed their name, it cost them over 2mm dollars. They had to change everything written and signage in connection with Washoe Medical Center.

Judge Rejects “Necessity Defense” a Second Time, but Manslaughter Ruling Now Possible

BTW – Dobson is one of them

Emerald and I will be doing a series of articles on the freaks and that is what they are, you will get plenty of names. It will make your head spin.

I guess this cannot be a federal case since he kiled Dr. Tiller at his church, unless killing on church property is a fed offense. If it were, it could be worse with all the right wing judges that bush appointed. I hope this judge keeps his word and does not let this be about abortion although it is the underlying reason for the cold blooded murder, it is also about a hatred and paranoia so deep that it would take a thousand years for most citizens to understand. Unfortunately for the rest of us these right wing evangelistic people are so deep in to doing what their religious leaders tell them, they have forgotten what free thinking is, if they ever knew.

……HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELVIS……

hey Kes
Good, i am not in the minority, then.

» Posted By SueInCa On January 8, 2010 @ 6:05 pm

Happy Birthday to Elvis, although (and I will get flack for this) I was never truly a fan of his. I grew up with his music from my mom, dad, aunts and uncles listening to it and taking me to his movies, but I started getting in to music with the advent of the Beatles, The Temps, The Stones and until I got older never really had an appreciation for what Elvis did.

Now if you want me to recap my Candlestick Park attendance of the Beatles concert, I can do that.
