More on the Increasingly Vitriolic (and Depressing) Debate on the “9/11 Mosque”

Com­ment: In the increas­ingly Kafkaesque polit­i­cal land­scape in this coun­try, noth­ing high­lights the intel­lec­tual and moral bank­ruptcy of both sides of the polit­i­cal aisle than the debate over the “9/11 Mosque.” Con­ser­v­a­tive ele­ments have cor­rectly noted the links of Feisal Abdul Rauf and asso­ciates to the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood, as well as dis­turb­ing indi­ca­tions that his [...]

Bush, Bin Laden Families Linked To Funding of Ground Zero Mosque

Com­ment: Con­ser­v­a­tive com­men­ta­tor Pamela Geller has researched the fund­ing appa­ra­tus behind the con­tro­ver­sial “Ground Zero Mosque” project in New York City–the build­ing of a Mosque and Islamic activ­i­ties cen­ter two blocks from the site of the World Trade Cen­ter.
It turns out that the fam­ily and milieu of Abdul­lah Alireza are involved with the insti­tu­tions working [...]

FTR #717 Interview with Dave Gaubatz about “Muslim Mafia”

NOT a civil rights orga­ni­za­tion, CAIR is actu­ally a front for the fas­cist Mus­lim Broth­er­hood and ter­ror off­shoots al-Qaeda, Hamas, Pales­tin­ian Islamic Jihad. It has pen­e­trated law enforce­ment, news media, intel­li­gence agencies.

FTR #716 Interview (#6) with Russ Baker, Author of “Family of Secrets”

Decades of Bush fam­ily intrigue cul­mi­nates in Dubya’s eight year deba­cle; dis­as­ters over­tak­ing the US are the inevitable out­growth of Bush’s cor­po­ratist phi­los­o­phy and cor­rupt admin­is­tra­tive practice.

Pan Am 103 Bombing, BP and Libya

Com­ment: Numer­ous news accounts, such as the story below, have engaged in spec­u­la­tion that BP was involved in secur­ing the release of con­victed Locker­bie bomber al-Megrahi in exchange for being granted off­shore drilling rights for Libya.
What is not being dis­cussed are the evi­den­tiary trib­u­taries link­ing George H.W. Bush to the bomb­ing of Pan Am 103 and, [...]

FTR #715 Interview (#5) with Russ Baker, Author of “Family of Secrets”

Poppy Bush tabbed by Ger­ald Ford to head CIA as Kennedy assas­si­na­tion inves­ti­ga­tions pro­ceed; Dick Cheney, Don­ald Rums­feld, Karl Rove and Paul Wol­fowitz launch their careers cour­tesy of Poppy and Ger­ald Ford in same time period.

Heads Up: Another Member of THAT Family Waiting in the Wings

Com­ment: Against the back­ground of six hours of inter­views on the sub­ject of Russ Baker’s remark­able recent book Fam­ily of Secrets, it is worth con­tem­plat­ing the pos­si­bil­ity that Jeb Bush might attempt to per­pet­u­ate the Bush family’s polit­i­cal dynasty. Con­cerned cit­i­zens should care­fully weigh the Bush polit­i­cal machine and its legacy–so amply illus­trated by Russ [...]

FTR #714 Interview (#4) with Russ Baker, Author of “Family of Secrets”

Nixon’s removal from White House was an intel­li­gence coup, not a “reaf­fir­ma­tion of democ­racy”; Poppy Bush cen­trally involved in his removal; Nixon angered some of the same inter­ests as JFK and was removed by the same team.

FTR #713 Interview (#3) with Russ Baker, Author of “Family of Secrets”

With JFK safely out of the way, Poppy Bush safe­guards the inter­ests that killed him; elected to Con­gress, Poppy lands a plum com­mit­tee posi­tion, cour­tesy of his father; strings pulled to get Dubya into a National Guard posi­tion; Dubya goes AWOL.

FTR #712 Interview (#2) with Russ Baker, Author of “Family of Secrets”

George H.W. Bush appar­ently deeply involved with JFK assas­si­na­tion; in Dal­las at the time, he’s never sat­is­fac­to­rily accounted for his activ­i­ties; he was very close to Dal­las power polit­i­cal ele­ments that removed Kennedy (many of them appar­ently CIA); Poppy’s attempts at cov­er­ing his tracks sug­gest cul­pa­bil­ity in the murder.
