1. Begin­ning with dis­cus­sion of the Al-Qaeda oper­a­tions in Ger­many, the pro­gram dis­cusses the Bin Laden orga­ni­za­tions links to the guer­ril­las fight­ing in Chech­nya. (“Al Queda Group Has Strong Ger­man Sup­port Net­work” by Hugh Williamson; Finan­cial Times; 9/27/2001; p. 3.)

2. In exchange for Russ­ian acqui­es­cence in the use of bases in the for­mer Soviet Union for the cam­paign against the Tal­iban, Vladimir Putin has demanded that the U.S. help quell the Chechen guer­ril­las, appar­ently con­nected to Bin Laden. (“In Major Shift, Rus­sia Backs U.S. Use of Ex-Soviet Bases” [Boston Globe]; San Fran­cisco Chron­i­cle; 9/25/2001; p. A6.)

3. Next, the broad­cast excerpts FTR–182. The Chechen guer­ril­las have attacked Dages­tan, a key Russ­ian access point to Caspian Sea oil. (“Skir­mish in Dages­tan is Big Risk for Rus­sia” by Car­lotta Gall; New York Times; 8/13/99.)

4. The guer­ril­las have strong links to the Saudi-backed Wah­habi sect of Islam. (Idem.) (For more on the Wah­habi influ­ence on the Chechen guer­ril­las, see FTR–103.) Many of their lead­ers received their mil­i­tary train­ing in the U.S.-backed war against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. (Idem.) (Osama Bin Laden received his mil­i­tary train­ing in the same conflict.)

5. Next, the broad­cast high­lights infor­ma­tion about the his­tor­i­cal con­nec­tion between the Wah­habi sect, king Ibn Saud, the Third Reich and Allen Dulles. (The Secret War Against the Jews: How West­ern Espi­onage Betrayed the Jew­ish Peo­ple; by John Lof­tus and Mark Aarons; copy­right 1994 [HC]; St. Martin’s Press; ISBN 0–312-11057-X; p. 21, pp. 30–31.) (See more on the Ibn Saud, Dulles, Third Reich con­nec­tion.)

6. Under­scor­ing the Bin Laden influ­ence in Pak­istan, the pro­gram sets forth infor­ma­tion about an attack on Amer­i­can and United Nations sites in Pak­istan. (“U.S. and U.N. Sites Attacked in Pak­istan” by Amir Zia [AP]; San Fran­cisco Exam­iner; 11/12/99.)

7. The excerpt from FTR–182 con­cludes with dis­cus­sion of the role of James R. Bath in the financ­ing of George W. Bush’s first oil com­pany. (Bath was the North Amer­i­can busi­ness rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the Bin Laden fam­ily.) (For­tu­nate Son; J.H. Hat­field; St. Martin’s Press; copy­right 2000 [HC].)

8. The first side of the pro­gram con­cludes with the read­ing of an excerpt from another book detail­ing the Bath, Bush, Bin Laden fam­ily con­nec­tion. (The Mafia, CIA & George Bush; by Pete Brew­ton; copy­right 1992 [HC]; SPI Books; ISBN 1–56171-203–5; p. 219, pp. 221–222.)

9. In addi­tion to the busi­ness con­nec­tion between the Bin Laden fam­ily and George W., the elder George Bush has busi­ness con­nec­tions to the Bin Laden fam­ily through the Car­lyle Group. (“Bin Laden Fam­ily Is Tied to U.S. Group” by Daniel Golden, James Ban­dler and Mar­cus Walker; Wall Street Jour­nal; 9/27/2001; pp. A3-A6.) (For more about the Car­lyle Group and George H.W. Bush, see FTR-284. For more on the Bin Laden family/Carlyle Group con­nec­tion, see FTR–334.)

10. Next, the broad­cast reviews the role of Allen Dulles in the cor­po­rate mask­ing of the Bush family’s Nazi front com­pa­nies prior to, and dur­ing, World War II. (The Secret War Against the Jews: How West­ern Espi­onage Betrayed the Jew­ish Peo­ple; pp. 360–361.) (See more on the Bush fam­ily involve­ment with the Third Reich.)

11. The broad­cast ana­lyzes fea­tures of the Wah­habi sect of Islam, dis­cussing its pro­found influ­ence on Amer­i­can imams. (“Ground Zero and the Saudi Con­nec­tion” by Stephen Schwartz; The Spec­ta­tor [U.K. mag­a­zine]; 9/22/2001; pp. 12–13.)

12. Prac­ticed by the Tal­iban, Osama Bin Laden and the Saudis, Wah­habi­ism could be accu­rately described as “Islam­o­fas­cist.” (Idem.) The sect could be com­pared to “extreme Protes­tant sec­tar­i­an­ism.” (Ibid.; p. 12.)

13. The broad­cast con­cludes with a review of the World Mus­lim Con­gress, an “Islam­o­fas­cist” insti­tu­tion that was piv­otal in the anti-Soviet Afghan war of the 1980’s. (The Beast Reawak­ens; Mar­tin A. Lee; copy­right 1997 [HC]; ISBN 0–316-51959–6; pp. 225–226.)

15. Funded by the Saudi gov­ern­ment and the Saudi royal fam­ily, WMC has retained all of its fas­cist char­ac­ter. Pro­vid­ing speak­ers for the Holocaust-denying Insti­tute of His­tor­i­cal Review, the WMC has mailed holo­caust denial lit­er­a­ture to mem­bers of con­gress and the British par­lia­ment. (Ibid.; p. 226.)

16. It should be noted that the Saudi gov­ern­ment hired Amer­i­can neo-Nazi William Grim­stead as an Amer­i­can lob­by­ist. (Idem.) (Recorded on 10/01 and 10/08/2001.)
