Would you like to know more about journalists targeted after 9/11 and the like?



Garry Webb, the Pulitzer prize-winning American investigative journalist who investigated CIA drug running activities related to the Iran Contra affair, who latest killed himself by shooting himself in the head--twice.


Danny Casolaro, the freelance writer who shortly before his death, told people that he was nearly ready to reveal a wide-ranging conspiracy spanning the Inslaw case, Iran-Contra, the alleged October Surprise conspiracy, and the closure of BCCI.

3 days before his death:

>Casolaro's neighbor and long-time housekeeper, Olga, helped Casolaro pack a black leather tote. She remembers him packing a thick sheaf of papers into a dark brown or black briefcase. Casolaro said he was leaving for several days to visit Martinsburg, West Virginia, to meet a source who promised to provide an important missing piece of his story. This was the last time Olga saw him. Olga told The Village Voice that she answered several threatening telephone calls at Casolaro's home that day. She said that one man called at about 9:00 a.m. and said, "I will cut his body and throw it to the sharks". Less than an hour later, a different man said: "Drop dead." There was a third call, but Olga remembered only that no one spoke and that she heard music as though a radio were playing. A fourth call was the same as the third, and a fifth call, this one silent, came later that night.


Philip Marshall, former 767 captain and "special activities" contract pilot during the Iran Contra who wrote The Big Bamboozle: 9/11 and the War on Terror.

Russell Welch, a former investigator for the Arkansas State Police Department who opened a letter containing military grade anthrax after having sounded the alarm on CIA drug smuggling activities.


Barry Jennings, the former Deputy Director of Emergency Services Department who claimed to witness multiple explosions inside WTC7 as well as "stepping over bodies". There were zero recorded casualties from the official report. Barry dropped dead 2 days before NIST released their final report on the collapse of WTC7, 7 years after having ommitting any mention of it in the 9/11 Commission report.



[David Kelly](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Kelly_(weapons_expert), the UN weapons inspector for Iraq in 2003.


>British Prime Minister Tony Blair's government set up the Hutton Inquiry, a public inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death. The inquiry concluded that Kelly had committed suicide, with the cause of death as "haemorrhage due to incised wounds of the left wrist" in combination with "coproxamol ingestion and coronary artery atherosclerosis". Lord Hutton also decided that evidence related to the death, including the post-mortem report and photographs of the body, should remain classified for 70 years.[3]





Deborah Palfrey, also known as the "DC Madam, operated a "female escort" agency, who had reportedly serviced many state department officials, such as Dick Cheney, as well as certain Muslim gentlemen.

>In an interview on the Alex Jones show in July 2007, Palfrey explicitly stated, "I'm not planning to commit suicide" and made clear her motivation to present her case at trial, saying, "I plan on exposing the government in ways that I do not think they want me to expose them".[32]




David Wherley, the former commander of the 113th Fighter Wing at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington, also known as the "Capital Guardians", and also the man who gave the order to scramble fighter jets over the nation's capital on the morning of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, dies in "the deadliest rail crash in the history of the capital's Metrorail system"


William Colby, the former director of the CIA who was replaced by George HW Bush in the Halloween Massacre and later died of a heart attack/boating accident/suicide.

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

> So at the start it seems like revisionist history, saying the US funded the mujahideen because they were allies.

Why do you think the US funded the mujahideen?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Cyclone

If you read Part 1 of my longer post, at the end I conclude that the US didn't need to fund the mujahideen to get the soviets into afghanistan, as the soviets went in of their own volition to remove amin (who they later accused of being a CIA agent, despite giving him the go ahead to kill the more soviet-friendly taraki), and replaced him with the leader of the parcham faction of the DRA, who was living in exile in the USSR.

I think it's more likely that the US funded the mujihadeen to militarize islam, and the us-soviet conflict served as a pretext.

> I don't know where you got that al-Qaeda played any significant role in the Kosovo War.

Bin Laden trained and financed the KLA:

"Some KLA members were "were trained in terrorist camps run by international fugitive Osama bin Laden ... in secret camps in Afghanistan" and elsewhere, the daily said, citing intelligence reports."

"In 1998, the U.S. State Department listed the KLA -- formally known as the Ushtria Clirimtare e Kosoves, or UCK -- as an international terrorist organization, saying it had bankrolled its operations with proceeds from the international heroin trade and from loans from known terrorists like Osama bin Laden."

And the U.S. State Department knew this:

"7. Washington Times, May 3, 1999: "In 1998, the U.S> State Department listed the KLA - formally known as the Ushtria Clirimtare e Kosoves, or UCK - as an international terrorist organization, saying it had bankrolled its operations with proceeds from the international heroid trade and from loans from known terrorists like Osam bin Laden." The Times of London also reported on March 24, 1999, that the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) is allegedly funded by profits from narcotics trafficking."

> Paraphrased, "The Clinton administration said it couldn't bring charges against bin Laden, but earlier they said he conspired in the [1993] WTC bombing." Sure, they may have believed it at the time, but it's a lot harder to prove it in a criminal trial.

Imagine if they applied that logic to 9/11 instead of invading iraq and afghanistan and passing the patriot act.

> Alternatively, believing the Clinton administration was trying to cover for bin Laden, how did these evil geniuses let that "oh, he totally conspired" slip in the first place?

I don't know. They've been doing this for a while, so I guess they are counting on people to not be paying attention or think that all conspiracy theory is nonsense. What we do know is that Clinton let Bin Laden go multiple times.

> Is there any one particular point you find to be a smoking gun

Occam's Razor. There's a lot of evidence, and when it's taken all together, it's clear that 9/11 was an inside job.

There's a lot of evidence of foreknowledge and the testimony of FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds, on whom John Ashcroft placed an unprecedented gag order and the 9/11 commission refused to include her testimony.

There was an enormous amount of insider trading on september 10. While the FBI/SEC did an investigation into this, they only claimed the people were innocent because "they found no ties to al-qaeda." The names of the people they investigated were never released so we have no idea if this is true or not, and we have no idea who else they may have had ties to that also had foreknowledge. The FBI and SEC report did not mention investigating any other ties.

There is also the testimony of Ptech whistlebower Indira Singh.

Ptech was a Boston software firm financed by Saudi businessman Yassin Al-Qadi. The UN placed sanctions against him in 1999 and 2000, when he was named by UN Security Council Resolutions 1267 and 1333 as a suspected associate of al-Qaeda.

Oussama Ziade, CEO of Ptech, claims that al-Qadi "talked very highly of his relationship" with Dick Cheney.

In mid-June of 2002, Joe Bergantino, a reporter for WBZ-TV's investigative team was working on this story. He received a tip from Indira Singh who suspected that Ptech had tied to terrorists. His research revealed that Ptech's clients included many federal government agencies including the U.S. Army, Air Force, Naval Air Command, Congress, Department of Energy, Aviation Administration, Internal Revenue Service, NATO, FBI, Secret Service, and the White House.

In September, Bergantino was told by federal authorities not to air the story because it would jeopardize their investigation and threaten national security. These authorities claimed that if the story was run, documents would be shredded and people would flee.

Despite an October 2001 Executive Order signed by Bush which froze the assets of individuals linked to terrorism, a list which included al-Qadi, the government did not investigate Ptech in October 2001. It waited until August 2002, when Bergantino called attention to Ptech.

After Bergantino pushed again to air the story, the government became abusive and claimed they would blame WBZ-TV if their investigation got botched. They promised Bergantino that if he held the story, he would have advance noticed about a planned raid on Ptech. They did not tell him, and alerted an ABC News reporter instead.

Finally, there's this book written by Phillip Marshall, which discusses how the CIA worked with the hijackers. He was found dead a year later by the police and was writing a book on the Kennedy Assassination at the time. The police claim that he killed himself, his dog, and his two children but they have not shared any of the evidence that they claim substantiate this (medical records, earlier police reports, and a surveillance video). If you do some quick internet searches you will find that there is nothing to be found about him and his relationship with his wife or sister prior to his death, which they use to claim he was mentally unstable and prone to violence. There are also no interviews of any of his family, and the story has not been covered by the msm at all.
