At the moment I am writing under a sort of personal deadline:
Tomorrow night (Thurs. 4 May) will be the monthly meeting of the
SF911Truth Alliance. Herewith the details:
From: Christian Pecaut <***@gmail.com>

Subject: SF911Truth: MEETING, Thursday, May 4th, 7-10pm, 522 Valencia
St., SF + EVENTS LIST
To: sf911truth-***@groups.google.com
Dear 9/11 Truth Activists,
Please join us for our monthly San Francisco meeting on Thursday, at
7:00pm - 10:00pm, at 522 Valencia St. in San Francisco. You may want
to ring the bell marked "3rd floor, auditorium".
The location is only a short walk away from the 16th Street BART
station (thanks, Diane!). Between 16th St. & 17th.
Please bring whatever you want to share.
Best Wishes,
Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance
=====================================
Up to now, it seems that most of the energy of this worthy movement
has gone into trying to answer the question of what exactly did happen
on that date @ the World Trade Center and @ the Pentagon. There's a lot
of engineering talk about melting points of steel, collapse rates, pods
flashing, blue screens and such-like, much of it interesting even to an
old liberal arts type like myself. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing
Dr.David Ray Griffin speak @ the Commonwealth Club @ the end of March;
he devastated Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's several attempts
to explain the Air Force's curiously abject failure to intercept the
attacking planes.
I personally prefer, however, to focus rather more on the challenge
of identifying the party who gave the "go" order for the stunt. Within
hours of that event I posted AFAIK the first article on the Internet
which introduced into the discussion the ancient guiding question in
such imperial investigations, to wit, _cui bono_? Or "Who profits?"
This post still available via author search on the Google Groups Page.
Then on Sat, Oct 20 2001 @ 1:31 pm I followed up with an article
entitled "PSST, PASS THE WORD:
THE JEWS DID IT !" About which a certain cautionary word may be in
order, in that the reader will have to go there to find out precisely
which "it" pertains, a point whitherto we will shortly return.
In the meantime, a positive organizational proposal: If there are some
other members of the SF911Truth Movement who share my concern with the
title question, then should we form a "WDC" or Who Dunnit Committee?
For those who prefer longer forms, we might add the phrase "Political &
Historical Background", as distinguished from the structural aspects of
the "what happened?"
approach. Overt hired partisans of the Official Accusation against
Osama Bin Laden & "Al Qaeda" are presumably staying away from our group
as a whole, which for convenience sake I will christen "S9T". In the
proposed "WDC", therefore, we may expect a division between tendencies
pointing with the one hand principally at Bush Junior & his Cabinet
masters vs. OTO those like myself
who put the spotlight of investigation on the Jews, both Israeli and
American. I suggest that this latter faction (should it in fact turn
out to have more than 1 member hereabouts) may wish at least
provisionally to call ourselves "JAZ", meaning "Justice for Akaber
Zaid", the bewitchingly pretty eight year-old red-haired Arab girl
whom the Jews murdered by gunfire in Palestine this past St.Patrick's
Day.
In my original presentation of the TERROR FLAG WITH DEATH STAR to the
S9T list on 13 April, I wrote that
"Anyone
already familiar with most of the 20 names listed below will probably
quickly grasp the argument....
[* Judah P.Benjamin, Bernard Baruch, Carl Weiss, Arthur McCollum, Lord
Moyne, Deir Yassin, Count Folke Bernadotte, Lavon Affair, JFK &
Dimona, LBJ & USS LIBERTY, Tripoli transmitter, Alex Odeh, Qana, April
Glaspie, David Koresh, Victor Ostrovsky, Bill Branon, Israel Shahak,
Kevin MacDonald and Israel Shamir.]"
I have in mind that the (so far entirely hypothetical) JAZ faction
would try to pour water on these dried flowers, freshen up the images
from the past and provide the necessary context for comprehending the
motives for event which for the last five years has been made the
lynchpin for B2's worldwide tyranny. Who knows, we could make a movie,
too?
From a tactical POV, 'twould be reasonable to expect a notion like
this to take some time to germinate. If 'twill sprout, we should see
signs at least by the local June meeting. Note also the national
conference:
Fri(6/02) - Sun(6/04)
- International Educational and Strategy Conference
- Embassy Suites Hotel Chicago-O'Hare Rosemont, Chicago, IL
To put the WTC attack in perspective, let us recall that for every
single American slain on That Date, the U.S.Government over the last 15
years has systematically murdered more than 1,500 Iraqi civilians (see
below final item "**ZED**" ). We need some dramatic illustrations to
bring to life the meaning of this ratio of 1,500 to 1. Which, of
course, only heightens the irony that the same sinister entity
incinerated the "One" of "Us" in this equation as well as the Many
Hundreds of "Them", precisely in order to promote its continued
merciless assault on the original victims.
As an opportune sisterly gesture, how about our trying to help to
promote in some suitable venue the U.S. premier of the new Turkish film
hit VALLEY OF THE WOLVES? Global news coverage, anyone?
I will now turn to a hostile response by a fellow member of the April
meeting, one Brian Good.

"That truth should be silent I had almost forgot."
=======================================
From: Brian Good
To: SF911Truth List on
Date: 16 April 2006
Hi Hal,
That's bold of you to wave your flag, and we are all interested in
following
the truth
wherever it may lead, including the possible participation of foreign
allies
of the Bush
regime in the events of 9/11. The "Dancing Israelis" are disturbing,
the
suspicion that
the 19 alleged hijackers were fingered by the Mossad seems justified,
and
the Odigo
warnings are well worth investigation.
My own goal has been bridges from 9/11truth to other progressive
groups--in
which
people of Jewish background are ubiquitous--and while every informed
person
recognizes
your blue "Death Star" as that of Israel, the resonance with the
generic
star (not to
mention the kind of wide-ranging harangue to which we were treated at
Cell
Space
recently, which drew even John Wilkes Booth into a Jewish conspiracy)
will
tend to
make Jews uncomfortable associating with us and thus frustrate my
efforts
greatly.
Fromthe Election Machines groups, I am familiar with the specious use
of
the "this
argument is divisive" ploy, but Hal, your argument is divisive. Even
assuming your claims
are true, I don't have time to verify them because I have more work to
do
than I can
handle and our task is not to drive Israel into the sea or to stop any
vast
Jewish
conspiracy or to affect Israeli elections. Our task is to expose the
complicity of the
Bush regime in the events of 9/11, to work for new official
investigations,
and to
topple the Bushcists so that we can work without fearing that we'll
wind up
rendered into soap.
I am greatly embarrassed that I did not speak up at Cell Space.
Personal
experiences
make me more willing than most to read a cogent argument about
participation
by the
Israeli state in the events of 9/11, but I am not willing to spend two
hours
travel
time to sit and listen to a harangue about the Jewish Conspiracy to
Rule the
World.
That none of us spoke up was shocking. You in particular, who seem well
informed
about the particulars of the Israeli connections, should have known
enough,
simply
in the interests of serving your views, to step on a bigoted and
counterproductive
shtick. Had that been my first night I would have vowed never to
return,
and I would
have then gone around telling everyone who would listen that the NorCal
Truth Alliance
is a bunch of Nazis.
Things could get very nasty as history progresses, and we all must
guard
against our
human tendencies to scapegoat. Assertion of Israeli connections to the
plot
must be
based on meticulous research and respectable sources and must be
expressed
with much
attention to semantics, or its political consequences to our movement
will
be devastating.
The inevitable perception that the anti-Israeli agenda is in fact
anti-Jewish will torpedo my
efforts to seed 9.11 Truth in other progressive groups.
Brian
.................................
To which I reply:
Brian's argument strikes me as about as "meticulous" as throwing a
handgrenade into an outhouse. He is threatening to slander S9T as "a
bunch of Nazis" if members new and old dare to continue freely to
discuss the blindingly obvious possibility that the party which has
overwhelmingly & predictably benefitted from the attack and which had
the necessary technical means of execution and which has a history of
such attacks and which openly discussed it beforehand and which had a
strong precipitating motive was actually the party which did in fact
carry out the attack. Such be his notion of careful "attention to
semantics". "Nazi!" = the hackneyed war-cry of the joojingoes, as
exemplified at a higher level a few days after Brian by the Israeli
Ambassador in Washington comparing Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad to Adolf Hitler, with Secretary of State Skeeza Rice in
attendance for the charade. Someone who sanctimoniously oozes that "we
all must guard
against our
human tendencies to scapegoat" all the while he's trying to stencil a
NDSAP swastika on my "bigoted" forehead deserves only a horselaugh.
Jews are indeed "ubiquitous" in the leadership of what passes in the
USA for "progressive" and "left" organizations, as I can give many
examples from personal observation extended over more than 40 years. At
the same time it is commonly observed that these very same
organizations are notoriously failing to mobilize the demonstrated
disgust of great majority of the 98% normal alias "gentile" American
public with our disintegrating genocidal kleptocracy in which, strange
to say, Jews are also "ubiquitous" in key power positions in the secret
police, the propaganda system, finance etc. Does the American popular
rainbow revolutionary movement face the challenge of re-establishing
representative government, first of all in our own ranks?
Give Brian this, my analysis as exemplified in the flag design may
indeed be "bold" in comparison to the pigeon-toed stances of otherwise
famous figures of the popular movement such as Robert Fisk, Alexander
Cockburn and Ralph Nader, all of whom have declared against even
beginning to consider the Jews as the authors of the attack. But, as I
know from interviewing scores of people from around the world, the
global street-level perception of the hidden Jewish finger on the
trigger is commonplace. "After all," we ask ourselves, "who did it?
Rachel Corrie or the bulldozer operator?
Mohammed al-Dura or the sniper? Iman al-Hams or the machine-gunner? An
unemployed garage mechanic with a dynamite fanny-pack or a jet-fighter
pilot? Maybe we need a lot more boldness in responding to the murders
in Palestine and in Iraq and to the current DC-Tel Aviv maniacal
threats of wanton atomic attack against Iraq, precisely in order to
teach the NaZionists the difference between righteous courage vs.
criminal arrogance, eh what?
"Harangue" = one of the Jews' very favorite words to describe any
recitation, however calm & factual, of their plotz which goes over
four sentences. Brian twice chews this piece of gum. Twenty-two people
attended the April meeting, which Christian Pecaut chaired in an
orderly & friendly fashion. All who wished to speak were allowed their
turn. The spirit at the end of the evening was quite sociable, with
over half the members noticeably lingering for further conversation.
One of the Regime arguments of which David Ray Griffin took special
note was the claim that any supposed large conspiracy by high officials
must inevitably have been betrayed by a loose tongue.
In this respect we observe that for every 10,000 white American
Southerners who know (and venerate ?) the name of General Stonewall
Jackson, scarcely even 1 will recognize that of Judah P.Benjamin, who
served the Confederate States of America as its 1) Attorney General, 2)
Secretary of War and 3) Secretary of State, as well as directing the
covert operations of its agents in the North, of whom the most
notorious was his fellow Jew, John Wilkes Booth, who was captured with
JPB's code on his person. After the victory of the Union, with his
former _goyishe_ rebel comrades either dead or imprisoned, Mr.Benjamin
deftly scooped up the remaining Confederate gold and sailed blithely
away to England where he industriously developed a second career as a
barrister under Queen Victoria. Jewish master assassins have Jewish
historians to act as their "sweepers", lest the vulgar mob be led into
"anti-Semitic" reflections. A long record of Jewish successes in the
assassinations of Lincoln, McKinley, the Czar, Huey Long,
Lord Moyne, Count Folke Bernadotte, John & Robert F. Kennedy,
the 34 sailors of the USS LIBERTY, Princess Diana and other Christian
notables led to Ariel Sharon's confidence in planning the particularly
spectacular step which we are studying.
I give priority to making the other 98% of Americans comfortable in
associating with us. I have, however, spent a lot more time on the Net
recommending the works of righteous Jews such as Moshe Menuhin, Israel
Shahak, Israel Shamir, Victor Ostrovsky, Mordechai Vanunu, Gideon Levy
and the orthodox rabbis of Neturei Karta than has Brian Good. What
should "make Jews uncomfortable" = the gross fact that their organized
leadership, in front of the thoughtful gaze of the entire human race,
is brazenly & systematically murdering children while coining money
from the life's blood of innocents. ?Some velly bad karma there, _se
sabe_?
Brian mocks the idea of a "Jewish Conspiracy to Rule the
World". The correct verb = "to tyrannize over and against". From the
fanatical kosher POV, 'tis a combine divine; to the sane Seven Billion
of us, 'tis a damned conspiracy, hence the "Neo-Con-Spirators".
Brian should understand that I fully intend for my argument to divide
people --war criminals over there, against the wall, and the rest of us
over here, armed & ready. The rest of the rubbish about driving soap
bars into the sea can safely be left to float away on the ebb Tide.

The Shooting of Little Akaber
Are We Done Killing Children, Yet?
By GIDEON LEVY
A bullet in the head from a distance of a few meters, fired suddenly
and without warning shots aimed at the wheels, which the Israel Defense
Forces claims there were. This is the way undercover soldiers from the
Border Police killed Akaber Zaid, an eight-and-a-half year-old, who was
on her way to the doctor, according to her uncle, who was with her and
was also wounded.
Little Akaber was going to the doctor and he did indeed see her, but
there was no longer a reason for him to do so. She had been on the way
to have him remove stitches from her chin, but instead arrived dead at
the same doctor's office, with her head smashed and her skull gaping.
Soldiers from the Border Police's undercover unit, known by the Hebrew
acronym Yamas, shot at her uncle's taxi at close range as he was
parking the vehicle next to the doctor's office. All the soldiers'
claims, as presented to the media by the IDF, to the effect that they
had shot at the taxi's wheels in accordance with the "regulations for
arresting a suspect," were nothing but lies, says the girl's uncle, who
was sitting next to her.
The car was sprayed from the right and from behind with bullets, which
entered through its windows. The shots were fired from just a few
meters away, the uncle stresses, in the light of a street lamp.
We saw the taxi this week: All its wheels are intact. However, those
who carried out the "investigations" on behalf of the IDF and the
Border Police did not even bother to examine the vehicle, or to
question the man who had driven it. He was also wounded and is
hospitalized.
We also took testimony from him and could not find a single fact on the
ground that contradicts what he reports: The undercover soldiers shot
at the girl from two directions, from nearby and, the uncle says,
without warning. No soldier with a gun, certainly not an expert
sharpshooter from the Yamas, would aim at close range at wheels and hit
someone in the head instead.
Down the road, hundreds of meters from the shooting, are the remaining
signs of the destruction wreaked by the Border Police. Not one wanted
man was detained, but a five-story apartment block was badly damaged
and there are wrecks of cars that were completely crushed, one after
the other, still standing in the street.
Why did the undercover soldiers shoot at a young girl? How could they
dare claim they aimed at the wheels? Why did they have to shoot at
innocent people in a taxi in the first place? Why did they wreak such
havoc? Why did they crush vehicles that were the last source of income
for their owners? What is the difference between this action on the
soldiers' part and a terrorist attack? And why are these questions not
being asked?
The father did not accompany his daughter to Dr. Samara. He said he
could not bear to see the doctor removing the stitches from her little
chin. Akaber was a second-grade pupil from the village of Al-Yamoun,
northwest of Jenin. In her picture from kindergarten, she can be seen
wearing a square black graduation cap, like those worn by university
graduates and people receiving doctorates. That is the custom in the
Al-Yamoun kindergarten: The children who excel are photographed with
the special hat. That is how she will remain in the collective
consciousness of that town, whose sons once worked in Israel.
Akaber is not the first girl they are burying. How many children were
killed in Al-Yamoun in the past few years? The school principal, who
came to pay his condolences to the family, begins to list them, one by
one, but stops suddenly and asks: "Why should I count them? Are we
finished having our children killed?"
The father enters the mourners' room in the local council building, his
eyes red with crying. Abdel Rahman Zaid, 31, the father of six, drives
a commercial van that travels in the West Bank, when possible. About
three weeks ago, Akaber fell on the stairs in her house and hurt her
chin. Last Friday it was time to remove the stitches.
When Abdel Rahman returned from work, he asked his brother Kamal--a
27-year-old taxi driver, whom he calls Hamoudi--to go with Akaber to
the doctor's house on the hill, where he has his office. It was Friday
night, the last night of her life. His brother took the girl and she
sat beside him in the passenger seat. The father stresses that the
taxi's windows were transparent; there were no curtains covering them
or hiding the passengers. Any soldier could see the occupants, any
soldier from the Yamas could see that there was a small girl with a
braid sitting there.
The two left for the doctor's and soon reached his street. From his bed
in the government hospital in Jenin, his wounded hand in a bandage,
Kamal relates that after parking, he suddenly noticed some soldiers to
the right of the car. It is a narrow road and they were standing barely
a few meters away. He says they began firing immediately, from the
right and from behind. Only after that did he hear shouting in Hebrew,
which he does not speak. Little Akaber was already lying on the seat
with her head smashed.
Kamal lifted her up in his arms; the soldiers instructed him to leave
her on the road. Thus, they remained on the road--the dead girl and her
wounded uncle.
The Yamas soldiers ordered him to stand, to lift up his shirt and then
to sit back down. They continued to shoot in the air, Kamal says. A
neighbor took the girl to the doctor who was expecting her. From there
she was taken to the hospital in Jenin where her death was confirmed.
The uncle's arm was bandaged on the spot and he was taken by military
Jeep for interrogation. He says the soldiers beat him. There was a dog
in the vehicle, who sniffed him, and a soldier called Raslan who, he
says, hit him in the head when he spoke Arabic. Kamal took three
bullets in the arm and leg. He says seven bullets hit the girl, three
of them in her head.
The yellow Renault taxi tells the story: Its wheels are intact, but its
body is riddled with bullet holes. The back window is shattered, and
there are bullet holes in the back head rest and in its sides. There
are blood stains everywhere, the blood of the dead girl and her wounded
uncle. All this time, they hid her death from her father. Abdel Rahman
had heard the shots--the doctor's office is not far from their
house--but he never thought of his daughter somehow, only of his
brother. He went to the doctor's office and there they told him that
Akaber had been wounded. The doctor injected him with a sedative, and
he says he did not wake up until morning. Only when he awoke and went
home, at about 5 A.M., did his other brother break the bad news. His
wife already knew: She heard the news on an Arabic-language TV station.
Through his tears, the father wants to tell us something: The girl's
mother, Ikram, was born in Israel. Akaber was also Israeli. She was
born in a Nazareth hospital and has an Israeli birth certificate. She
was buried in the Al-Yamoun cemetery on Saturday morning.
The IDF Spokesman: "On March 17, while a special forces unit of the
Border Police was engaged in arresting wanted men in the village of
Al-Yamoun, northwest of Jenin, the unit surrounded an area in which
there was a suspicion that wanted men were hiding. During the
operation, the force saw a taxi that seemed suspicious approaching the
area and began the procedure of arresting a suspect. When it failed to
heed the soldiers' calls, they opened fire in the direction of the
taxi."
Does anyone think the uncle would not have heeded the calls to stop if
indeed the soldiers had called out? The man was taking his little niece
to the doctor. The army announced merely that "the IDF regrets harming
the Palestinian girl and is conducting a comprehensive examination of
the circumstances of the event."
The scene of the destruction: A Palestinian bulldozer removed the
wreckage next to the Zaid family's house on Sunday. A five-story
building, which the soldiers suspected was housing wanted men, has been
partially destroyed. The family members are now covering the huge holes
in it with gray bricks, and its elegant columns are in danger of
collapsing. In the yard below are the other wrecked cars: a yellow
Mercedes taxi, a white Subaru, and another few pieces of metal that
were once cars.
Mohammed Zaid, who owns one of the apartments, emerges from the debris:
"This is the Jewish army--this is the bad Jewish army," shouts his
uncle who is with him. Mohammed recalls that at about seven on Friday
night, he saw another group of soldiers outside his grocery shop. They
demanded that he tell all the residents to leave the building.
There are five large families--families of a lawyer, a doctor, an
engineer, a teacher--living in the five stories. All the tenants went
out into the street and had to wait there until morning--dozens of
children, women and men--until the soldiers finished their work.
Mohammed says that the women and children acted as a barrier between
the area where people were shooting at the soldiers, from one house,
and the area where the Border Police was returning fire. When the
building had been evacuated, they sent Mohammed to turn the lights on
in all the rooms to see if someone was still there.
An IDF bulldozer was ready to tear the structure down. Mohammed says he
suggested the soldiers accompany him to see that no one was left
inside, but they shut him up, saying, "We know what work we have to
do."
Around midnight, the bulldozer started tearing things down. The house
across the street was also damaged.
Mohammed says he asked an officer: "Does Israeli law permit you to do
this?" The officer said, according to Mohammed: "Go and complain at the
UN."
Mohammed's brother, a dentist, whose clinic was completely destroyed,
tried to tell an officer that he was a doctor "for humans," and the
officer replied: "Shut up."
Mohammed was taken for interrogation at the Salem facility and was
released only on Saturday at noon. He says he told his interrogator:
"On TV, you say you are a democracy." The interrogator replied:
"Democracy is only for the TV."
Mohammed, a teacher, says: "I always tell my pupils that we like peace.
What will I tell them now? That this is what peace looks like?"
We go to the top of the hill where Akaber was killed. A sign points the
way to Dr. Samara's clinic. Someone has placed a row of little stones
on the road where the taxi stood, to mark where the little body was.
The bloodstains have not yet been wiped away.

"YES, SIR!" HANS ANSWERS THE QUESTION
By Hal Womack 3-dan
Preliminary Report:
Only about 35 souls attended last night's lecture by our distinguished
visitor from Germany, His Excellency Hans-Christof Graf von Sponeck,
but this number made a comfortable crowd in the pleasant premises of
the Berkeley Friends' Church.
Before the meeting began, I had the good fortune to encounter HvS for a
bit of private discussion, in which he indicated the difference between
his expertise on the subject of Iraq in contrast to his lack of
personal experience in Palestine. In the general Q & A later,
therefore, I put to him only the "A") section of the question which was
posted beforehand to these newsgroups*. _Viva voce_ without a written
script, I said roughly: "From the very beginning of the conflict, the
Washington and the Israeli regimes have conspired to destroy Iraq as
intrinsically the most powerful Arab nation, in the course of which
aggression the former parties have murdered about 2,000,000 [two
million] civilians. Consequently, for the salvation of our human race,
as well as for the reform of the United Nations, should we
law-enforcing folk begin by arresting and imprisoning the perpetrators
of this huge crime?"
To which HvS quickly replied exactly as stated in the title above. And
for what better answer could a theoretician such as myself possibly
wish from a top level international official?
In the subsequent friendly mingle a woman asked me for the source of my
"two million" figure for Iraqi civilians slain by the Pentagon over the
entire period from 1990 to the present. First I mentioned some of my
on-line research over the last dozen years, then at my suggestion the
two of us then took the issue to HvS, who explicitly confirmed that
estimate.
Another acquaintance in the audience emphasized that we need an army in
order actually to execute the arrests of the named war-mongers who are,
in fact, the present (mis-)rulers of much of the world, including our
own USA. In the previous millennium in order finally to win victories
in their great revolutions in China, in Cuba and in Vietnam, Mao
Zedong, Fidel Castro and Ho Chi Minh also had to create armies, but
they began that process by defining a clear idea for the resolution of
the urgent challenges then facing facing their respective nations. We
also note that in South Africa and in Venezuela Presidents Nelson
Mandela (formerly) and Hugo Chavez used a combination of military and
political strategies in the democratic cause successfully to oust
corrupt cliques linked to the Washington Imperial Regime.
Have we just taken an important step in defining the basic concept of
"justice" for both the USA and our Planet as a whole today?
....................................................................................................................
* "Should we 'reform the United Nations', as it were, by A) arresting
the
Clintons, Bushes, Kissinger, Wolfowitz, Sulzbergers and their gang for
war crimes and B) disestablishing the outlaw Jewish State of Israel ? "

At the moment I am writing under a sort of personal deadline:
Tomorrow night (Thurs. 4 May) will be the monthly meeting of the
SF911Truth Alliance. Herewith the details:
From: Christian Pecaut <***@gmail.com>
Date: May 3, 2006 2:23 PM
Subject: SF911Truth: MEETING, Thursday, May 4th, 7-10pm, 522 Valencia
St., SF + EVENTS LIST
To: sf911truth-***@groups.google.com
Dear 9/11 Truth Activists,
Please join us for our monthly San Francisco meeting on Thursday, at
7:00pm - 10:00pm, at 522 Valencia St. in San Francisco. You may want
to ring the bell marked "3rd floor, auditorium".
The location is only a short walk away from the 16th Street BART
station (thanks, Diane!). Between 16th St. & 17th.
Please bring whatever you want to share.
Best Wishes,
Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance
=====================================
Up to now, it seems that most of the energy of this worthy movement
has gone into trying to answer the question of what exactly did happen
on that date @ the World Trade Center and @ the Pentagon. There's a lot
of engineering talk about melting points of steel, collapse rates, pods
flashing, blue screens and such-like, much of it interesting even to an
old liberal arts type like myself. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing
Dr.David Ray Griffin speak @ the Commonwealth Club @ the end of March;
he devastated Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's several attempts
to explain the Air Force's curiously abject failure to intercept the
attacking planes.
I personally prefer, however, to focus rather more on the challenge
of identifying the party who gave the "go" order for the stunt. Within
hours of that event I posted AFAIK the first article on the Internet
which introduced into the discussion the ancient guiding question in
such imperial investigations, to wit, _cui bono_? Or "Who profits?"
This post still available via author search on the Google Groups Page.
Then on Sat, Oct 20 2001 @ 1:31 pm I followed up with an article
entitled "PSST, PASS THE WORD:
THE JEWS DID IT !" About which a certain cautionary word may be in
order, in that the reader will have to go there to find out precisely
which "it" pertains, a point whitherto we will shortly return.
In the meantime, a positive organizational proposal: If there are some
other members of the SF911Truth Movement who share my concern with the
title question, then should we form a "WDC" or Who Dunnit Committee?
For those who prefer longer forms, we might add the phrase "Political &
Historical Background", as distinguished from the structural aspects of
the "what happened?"
approach. Overt hired partisans of the Official Accusation against
Osama Bin Laden & "Al Qaeda" are presumably staying away from our group
as a whole, which for convenience sake I will christen "S9T". In the
proposed "WDC", therefore, we may expect a division between tendencies
pointing with the one hand principally at Bush Junior & his Cabinet
masters vs. OTO those like myself
who put the spotlight of investigation on the Jews, both Israeli and
American. I suggest that this latter faction (should it in fact turn
out to have more than 1 member hereabouts) may wish at least
provisionally to call ourselves "JAZ", meaning "Justice for Akaber
Zaid", the bewitchingly pretty eight year-old red-haired Arab girl
whom the Jews murdered by gunfire in Palestine this past St.Patrick's
Day.
In my original presentation of the TERROR FLAG WITH DEATH STAR to the
S9T list on 13 April, I wrote that
"Anyone
already familiar with most of the 20 names listed below will probably
quickly grasp the argument....
[* Judah P.Benjamin, Bernard Baruch, Carl Weiss, Arthur McCollum, Lord
Moyne, Deir Yassin, Count Folke Bernadotte, Lavon Affair, JFK &
Dimona, LBJ & USS LIBERTY, Tripoli transmitter, Alex Odeh, Qana, April
Glaspie, David Koresh, Victor Ostrovsky, Bill Branon, Israel Shahak,
Kevin MacDonald and Israel Shamir.]"
I have in mind that the (so far entirely hypothetical) JAZ faction
would try to pour water on these dried flowers, freshen up the images
from the past and provide the necessary context for comprehending the
motives for event which for the last five years has been made the
lynchpin for B2's worldwide tyranny. Who knows, we could make a movie,
too?
From a tactical POV, 'twould be reasonable to expect a notion like
this to take some time to germinate. If 'twill sprout, we should see
signs at least by the local June meeting. Note also the national
conference:
Fri(6/02) - Sun(6/04)
- International Educational and Strategy Conference
- Embassy Suites Hotel Chicago-O'Hare Rosemont, Chicago, IL
To put the WTC attack in perspective, let us recall that for every
single American slain on That Date, the U.S.Government over the last 15
years has systematically murdered more than 1,500 Iraqi civilians (see
below final item "**ZED**" ). We need some dramatic illustrations to
bring to life the meaning of this ratio of 1,500 to 1. Which, of
course, only heightens the irony that the same sinister entity
incinerated the "One" of "Us" in this equation as well as the Many
Hundreds of "Them", precisely in order to promote its continued
merciless assault on the original victims.
As an opportune sisterly gesture, how about our trying to help to
promote in some suitable venue the U.S. premier of the new Turkish film
hit VALLEY OF THE WOLVES? Global news coverage, anyone?
I will now turn to a hostile response by a fellow member of the April
meeting, one Brian Good.

DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS
"That truth should be silent I had almost forgot."
=======================================
From: Brian Good
To: SF911Truth List on
Date: 16 April 2006
Hi Hal,
That's bold of you to wave your flag, and we are all interested in
following
the truth
wherever it may lead, including the possible participation of foreign
allies
of the Bush
regime in the events of 9/11. The "Dancing Israelis" are disturbing,
the
suspicion that
the 19 alleged hijackers were fingered by the Mossad seems justified,
and
the Odigo
warnings are well worth investigation.
My own goal has been bridges from 9/11truth to other progressive
groups--in
which
people of Jewish background are ubiquitous--and while every informed
person
recognizes
your blue "Death Star" as that of Israel, the resonance with the
generic
star (not to
mention the kind of wide-ranging harangue to which we were treated at
Cell
Space
recently, which drew even John Wilkes Booth into a Jewish conspiracy)
will
tend to
make Jews uncomfortable associating with us and thus frustrate my
efforts
greatly.
Fromthe Election Machines groups, I am familiar with the specious use
of
the "this
argument is divisive" ploy, but Hal, your argument is divisive. Even
assuming your claims
are true, I don't have time to verify them because I have more work to
do
than I can
handle and our task is not to drive Israel into the sea or to stop any
vast
Jewish
conspiracy or to affect Israeli elections. Our task is to expose the
complicity of the
Bush regime in the events of 9/11, to work for new official
investigations,
and to
topple the Bushcists so that we can work without fearing that we'll
wind up
rendered into soap.
I am greatly embarrassed that I did not speak up at Cell Space.
Personal
experiences
make me more willing than most to read a cogent argument about
participation
by the
Israeli state in the events of 9/11, but I am not willing to spend two
hours
travel
time to sit and listen to a harangue about the Jewish Conspiracy to
Rule the
World.
That none of us spoke up was shocking. You in particular, who seem well
informed
about the particulars of the Israeli connections, should have known
enough,
simply
in the interests of serving your views, to step on a bigoted and
counterproductive
shtick. Had that been my first night I would have vowed never to
return,
and I would
have then gone around telling everyone who would listen that the NorCal
Truth Alliance
is a bunch of Nazis.
Things could get very nasty as history progresses, and we all must
guard
against our
human tendencies to scapegoat. Assertion of Israeli connections to the
plot
must be
based on meticulous research and respectable sources and must be
expressed
with much
attention to semantics, or its political consequences to our movement
will
be devastating.
The inevitable perception that the anti-Israeli agenda is in fact
anti-Jewish will torpedo my
efforts to seed 9.11 Truth in other progressive groups.
Brian
.................................
To which I reply:
Brian's argument strikes me as about as "meticulous" as throwing a
handgrenade into an outhouse. He is threatening to slander S9T as "a
bunch of Nazis" if members new and old dare to continue freely to
discuss the blindingly obvious possibility that the party which has
overwhelmingly & predictably benefitted from the attack and which had
the necessary technical means of execution and which has a history of
such attacks and which openly discussed it beforehand and which had a
strong precipitating motive was actually the party which did in fact
carry out the attack. Such be his notion of careful "attention to
semantics". "Nazi!" = the hackneyed war-cry of the joojingoes, as
exemplified at a higher level a few days after Brian by the Israeli
Ambassador in Washington comparing Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad to Adolf Hitler, with Secretary of State Skeeza Rice in
attendance for the charade. Someone who sanctimoniously oozes that "we
all must guard
against our
human tendencies to scapegoat" all the while he's trying to stencil a
NDSAP swastika on my "bigoted" forehead deserves only a horselaugh.
Jews are indeed "ubiquitous" in the leadership of what passes in the
USA for "progressive" and "left" organizations, as I can give many
examples from personal observation extended over more than 40 years. At
the same time it is commonly observed that these very same
organizations are notoriously failing to mobilize the demonstrated
disgust of great majority of the 98% normal alias "gentile" American
public with our disintegrating genocidal kleptocracy in which, strange
to say, Jews are also "ubiquitous" in key power positions in the secret
police, the propaganda system, finance etc. Does the American popular
rainbow revolutionary movement face the challenge of re-establishing
representative government, first of all in our own ranks?
Give Brian this, my analysis as exemplified in the flag design may
indeed be "bold" in comparison to the pigeon-toed stances of otherwise
famous figures of the popular movement such as Robert Fisk, Alexander
Cockburn and Ralph Nader, all of whom have declared against even
beginning to consider the Jews as the authors of the attack. But, as I
know from interviewing scores of people from around the world, the
global street-level perception of the hidden Jewish finger on the
trigger is commonplace. "After all," we ask ourselves, "who did it?
Rachel Corrie or the bulldozer operator?
Mohammed al-Dura or the sniper? Iman al-Hams or the machine-gunner? An
unemployed garage mechanic with a dynamite fanny-pack or a jet-fighter
pilot? Maybe we need a lot more boldness in responding to the murders
in Palestine and in Iraq and to the current DC-Tel Aviv maniacal
threats of wanton atomic attack against Iraq, precisely in order to
teach the NaZionists the difference between righteous courage vs.
criminal arrogance, eh what?
"Harangue" = one of the Jews' very favorite words to describe any
recitation, however calm & factual, of their plotz which goes over
four sentences. Brian twice chews this piece of gum. Twenty-two people
attended the April meeting, which Christian Pecaut chaired in an
orderly & friendly fashion. All who wished to speak were allowed their
turn. The spirit at the end of the evening was quite sociable, with
over half the members noticeably lingering for further conversation.
One of the Regime arguments of which David Ray Griffin took special
note was the claim that any supposed large conspiracy by high officials
must inevitably have been betrayed by a loose tongue.
In this respect we observe that for every 10,000 white American
Southerners who know (and venerate ?) the name of General Stonewall
Jackson, scarcely even 1 will recognize that of Judah P.Benjamin, who
served the Confederate States of America as its 1) Attorney General, 2)
Secretary of War and 3) Secretary of State, as well as directing the
covert operations of its agents in the North, of whom the most
notorious was his fellow Jew, John Wilkes Booth, who was captured with
JPB's code on his person. After the victory of the Union, with his
former _goyishe_ rebel comrades either dead or imprisoned, Mr.Benjamin
deftly scooped up the remaining Confederate gold and sailed blithely
away to England where he industriously developed a second career as a
barrister under Queen Victoria. Jewish master assassins have Jewish
historians to act as their "sweepers", lest the vulgar mob be led into
"anti-Semitic" reflections. A long record of Jewish successes in the
assassinations of Lincoln, McKinley, the Czar, Huey Long,
Lord Moyne, Count Folke Bernadotte, John & Robert F. Kennedy,
the 34 sailors of the USS LIBERTY, Princess Diana and other Christian
notables led to Ariel Sharon's confidence in planning the particularly
spectacular step which we are studying.
I give priority to making the other 98% of Americans comfortable in
associating with us. I have, however, spent a lot more time on the Net
recommending the works of righteous Jews such as Moshe Menuhin, Israel
Shahak, Israel Shamir, Victor Ostrovsky, Mordechai Vanunu, Gideon Levy
and the orthodox rabbis of Neturei Karta than has Brian Good. What
should "make Jews uncomfortable" = the gross fact that their organized
leadership, in front of the thoughtful gaze of the entire human race,
is brazenly & systematically murdering children while coining money
from the life's blood of innocents. ?Some velly bad karma there, _se
sabe_?
Brian mocks the idea of a "Jewish Conspiracy to Rule the
World". The correct verb = "to tyrannize over and against". From the
fanatical kosher POV, 'tis a combine divine; to the sane Seven Billion
of us, 'tis a damned conspiracy, hence the "Neo-Con-Spirators".
Brian should understand that I fully intend for my argument to divide
people --war criminals over there, against the wall, and the rest of us
over here, armed & ready. The rest of the rubbish about driving soap
bars into the sea can safely be left to float away on the ebb Tide.

The Shooting of Little Akaber
Are We Done Killing Children, Yet?
By GIDEON LEVY
A bullet in the head from a distance of a few meters, fired suddenly
and without warning shots aimed at the wheels, which the Israel Defense
Forces claims there were. This is the way undercover soldiers from the
Border Police killed Akaber Zaid, an eight-and-a-half year-old, who was
on her way to the doctor, according to her uncle, who was with her and
was also wounded.
Little Akaber was going to the doctor and he did indeed see her, but
there was no longer a reason for him to do so. She had been on the way
to have him remove stitches from her chin, but instead arrived dead at
the same doctor's office, with her head smashed and her skull gaping.
Soldiers from the Border Police's undercover unit, known by the Hebrew
acronym Yamas, shot at her uncle's taxi at close range as he was
parking the vehicle next to the doctor's office. All the soldiers'
claims, as presented to the media by the IDF, to the effect that they
had shot at the taxi's wheels in accordance with the "regulations for
arresting a suspect," were nothing but lies, says the girl's uncle, who
was sitting next to her.
The car was sprayed from the right and from behind with bullets, which
entered through its windows. The shots were fired from just a few
meters away, the uncle stresses, in the light of a street lamp.
We saw the taxi this week: All its wheels are intact. However, those
who carried out the "investigations" on behalf of the IDF and the
Border Police did not even bother to examine the vehicle, or to
question the man who had driven it. He was also wounded and is
hospitalized.
We also took testimony from him and could not find a single fact on the
ground that contradicts what he reports: The undercover soldiers shot
at the girl from two directions, from nearby and, the uncle says,
without warning. No soldier with a gun, certainly not an expert
sharpshooter from the Yamas, would aim at close range at wheels and hit
someone in the head instead.
Down the road, hundreds of meters from the shooting, are the remaining
signs of the destruction wreaked by the Border Police. Not one wanted
man was detained, but a five-story apartment block was badly damaged
and there are wrecks of cars that were completely crushed, one after
the other, still standing in the street.
Why did the undercover soldiers shoot at a young girl? How could they
dare claim they aimed at the wheels? Why did they have to shoot at
innocent people in a taxi in the first place? Why did they wreak such
havoc? Why did they crush vehicles that were the last source of income
for their owners? What is the difference between this action on the
soldiers' part and a terrorist attack? And why are these questions not
being asked?
The father did not accompany his daughter to Dr. Samara. He said he
could not bear to see the doctor removing the stitches from her little
chin. Akaber was a second-grade pupil from the village of Al-Yamoun,
northwest of Jenin. In her picture from kindergarten, she can be seen
wearing a square black graduation cap, like those worn by university
graduates and people receiving doctorates. That is the custom in the
Al-Yamoun kindergarten: The children who excel are photographed with
the special hat. That is how she will remain in the collective
consciousness of that town, whose sons once worked in Israel.
Akaber is not the first girl they are burying. How many children were
killed in Al-Yamoun in the past few years? The school principal, who
came to pay his condolences to the family, begins to list them, one by
one, but stops suddenly and asks: "Why should I count them? Are we
finished having our children killed?"
The father enters the mourners' room in the local council building, his
eyes red with crying. Abdel Rahman Zaid, 31, the father of six, drives
a commercial van that travels in the West Bank, when possible. About
three weeks ago, Akaber fell on the stairs in her house and hurt her
chin. Last Friday it was time to remove the stitches.
When Abdel Rahman returned from work, he asked his brother Kamal--a
27-year-old taxi driver, whom he calls Hamoudi--to go with Akaber to
the doctor's house on the hill, where he has his office. It was Friday
night, the last night of her life. His brother took the girl and she
sat beside him in the passenger seat. The father stresses that the
taxi's windows were transparent; there were no curtains covering them
or hiding the passengers. Any soldier could see the occupants, any
soldier from the Yamas could see that there was a small girl with a
braid sitting there.
The two left for the doctor's and soon reached his street. From his bed
in the government hospital in Jenin, his wounded hand in a bandage,
Kamal relates that after parking, he suddenly noticed some soldiers to
the right of the car. It is a narrow road and they were standing barely
a few meters away. He says they began firing immediately, from the
right and from behind. Only after that did he hear shouting in Hebrew,
which he does not speak. Little Akaber was already lying on the seat
with her head smashed.
Kamal lifted her up in his arms; the soldiers instructed him to leave
her on the road. Thus, they remained on the road--the dead girl and her
wounded uncle.
The Yamas soldiers ordered him to stand, to lift up his shirt and then
to sit back down. They continued to shoot in the air, Kamal says. A
neighbor took the girl to the doctor who was expecting her. From there
she was taken to the hospital in Jenin where her death was confirmed.
The uncle's arm was bandaged on the spot and he was taken by military
Jeep for interrogation. He says the soldiers beat him. There was a dog
in the vehicle, who sniffed him, and a soldier called Raslan who, he
says, hit him in the head when he spoke Arabic. Kamal took three
bullets in the arm and leg. He says seven bullets hit the girl, three
of them in her head.
The yellow Renault taxi tells the story: Its wheels are intact, but its
body is riddled with bullet holes. The back window is shattered, and
there are bullet holes in the back head rest and in its sides. There
are blood stains everywhere, the blood of the dead girl and her wounded
uncle. All this time, they hid her death from her father. Abdel Rahman
had heard the shots--the doctor's office is not far from their
house--but he never thought of his daughter somehow, only of his
brother. He went to the doctor's office and there they told him that
Akaber had been wounded. The doctor injected him with a sedative, and
he says he did not wake up until morning. Only when he awoke and went
home, at about 5 A.M., did his other brother break the bad news. His
wife already knew: She heard the news on an Arabic-language TV station.
Through his tears, the father wants to tell us something: The girl's
mother, Ikram, was born in Israel. Akaber was also Israeli. She was
born in a Nazareth hospital and has an Israeli birth certificate. She
was buried in the Al-Yamoun cemetery on Saturday morning.
The IDF Spokesman: "On March 17, while a special forces unit of the
Border Police was engaged in arresting wanted men in the village of
Al-Yamoun, northwest of Jenin, the unit surrounded an area in which
there was a suspicion that wanted men were hiding. During the
operation, the force saw a taxi that seemed suspicious approaching the
area and began the procedure of arresting a suspect. When it failed to
heed the soldiers' calls, they opened fire in the direction of the
taxi."
Does anyone think the uncle would not have heeded the calls to stop if
indeed the soldiers had called out? The man was taking his little niece
to the doctor. The army announced merely that "the IDF regrets harming
the Palestinian girl and is conducting a comprehensive examination of
the circumstances of the event."
The scene of the destruction: A Palestinian bulldozer removed the
wreckage next to the Zaid family's house on Sunday. A five-story
building, which the soldiers suspected was housing wanted men, has been
partially destroyed. The family members are now covering the huge holes
in it with gray bricks, and its elegant columns are in danger of
collapsing. In the yard below are the other wrecked cars: a yellow
Mercedes taxi, a white Subaru, and another few pieces of metal that
were once cars.
Mohammed Zaid, who owns one of the apartments, emerges from the debris:
"This is the Jewish army--this is the bad Jewish army," shouts his
uncle who is with him. Mohammed recalls that at about seven on Friday
night, he saw another group of soldiers outside his grocery shop. They
demanded that he tell all the residents to leave the building.
There are five large families--families of a lawyer, a doctor, an
engineer, a teacher--living in the five stories. All the tenants went
out into the street and had to wait there until morning--dozens of
children, women and men--until the soldiers finished their work.
Mohammed says that the women and children acted as a barrier between
the area where people were shooting at the soldiers, from one house,
and the area where the Border Police was returning fire. When the
building had been evacuated, they sent Mohammed to turn the lights on
in all the rooms to see if someone was still there.
An IDF bulldozer was ready to tear the structure down. Mohammed says he
suggested the soldiers accompany him to see that no one was left
inside, but they shut him up, saying, "We know what work we have to
do."
Around midnight, the bulldozer started tearing things down. The house
across the street was also damaged.
Mohammed says he asked an officer: "Does Israeli law permit you to do
this?" The officer said, according to Mohammed: "Go and complain at the
UN."
Mohammed's brother, a dentist, whose clinic was completely destroyed,
tried to tell an officer that he was a doctor "for humans," and the
officer replied: "Shut up."
Mohammed was taken for interrogation at the Salem facility and was
released only on Saturday at noon. He says he told his interrogator:
"On TV, you say you are a democracy." The interrogator replied:
"Democracy is only for the TV."
Mohammed, a teacher, says: "I always tell my pupils that we like peace.
What will I tell them now? That this is what peace looks like?"
We go to the top of the hill where Akaber was killed. A sign points the
way to Dr. Samara's clinic. Someone has placed a row of little stones
on the road where the taxi stood, to mark where the little body was.
The bloodstains have not yet been wiped away.
From an old elections poster, Yasser Arafat's picture looks down on
this makeshift memorial to Akaber.Gideon Levy writes for Ha'aretz.

"YES, SIR!" HANS ANSWERS THE QUESTION
By Hal Womack 3-dan
Preliminary Report:
Only about 35 souls attended last night's lecture by our distinguished
visitor from Germany, His Excellency Hans-Christof Graf von Sponeck,
but this number made a comfortable crowd in the pleasant premises of
the Berkeley Friends' Church.
Before the meeting began, I had the good fortune to encounter HvS for a
bit of private discussion, in which he indicated the difference between
his expertise on the subject of Iraq in contrast to his lack of
personal experience in Palestine. In the general Q & A later,
therefore, I put to him only the "A") section of the question which was
posted beforehand to these newsgroups*. _Viva voce_ without a written
script, I said roughly: "From the very beginning of the conflict, the
Washington and the Israeli regimes have conspired to destroy Iraq as
intrinsically the most powerful Arab nation, in the course of which
aggression the former parties have murdered about 2,000,000 [two
million] civilians. Consequently, for the salvation of our human race,
as well as for the reform of the United Nations, should we
law-enforcing folk begin by arresting and imprisoning the perpetrators
of this huge crime?"
To which HvS quickly replied exactly as stated in the title above. And
for what better answer could a theoretician such as myself possibly
wish from a top level international official?
In the subsequent friendly mingle a woman asked me for the source of my
"two million" figure for Iraqi civilians slain by the Pentagon over the
entire period from 1990 to the present. First I mentioned some of my
on-line research over the last dozen years, then at my suggestion the
two of us then took the issue to HvS, who explicitly confirmed that
estimate.
Another acquaintance in the audience emphasized that we need an army in
order actually to execute the arrests of the named war-mongers who are,
in fact, the present (mis-)rulers of much of the world, including our
own USA. In the previous millennium in order finally to win victories
in their great revolutions in China, in Cuba and in Vietnam, Mao
Zedong, Fidel Castro and Ho Chi Minh also had to create armies, but
they began that process by defining a clear idea for the resolution of
the urgent challenges then facing facing their respective nations. We
also note that in South Africa and in Venezuela Presidents Nelson
Mandela (formerly) and Hugo Chavez used a combination of military and
political strategies in the democratic cause successfully to oust
corrupt cliques linked to the Washington Imperial Regime.
Have we just taken an important step in defining the basic concept of
"justice" for both the USA and our Planet as a whole today?
....................................................................................................................
* "Should we 'reform the United Nations', as it were, by A) arresting
the
