From OpEd News :
I would like to discuss an article by the Associated Press on January 22, 2008, titled, Study: False statements preceded war. In this article, journalists from two nonprofit journalism organizations found that President Bush and top members of his administration issued hundreds of false statements about the threat from Iraq in the two years following the terrorist attacks in New York City.
This particular study found 935 false statements in the two-year period in question. President Bush made 259 false statements himself. Of these 259 false statements, 231 were statements about the threat from weapons of mass destruction, and 28 were statements about Iraq's links to Al-Quida. Dick Cheney, in one of his recent trips to Iraq, again made false claims about Iraq's links to terrorism, even as the Pentagon dismisses such links, based on their careful analysis of thousands of postwar documents.
It appears that President Bush and his administration are immune from any reproach from members of Congress, judging from past congressional action. His masters of communication have conveniently relied upon the liar paradox in this particular case, in which common beliefs about truth and falsity actually lead to a contradiction. Most of the United States population will fall prey to this very clever tactic, but let me remind Americans of one important fact, that lying, or tricking the nation into war, or in legal terms, conspiracy to defraud the United States, is illegal under Title 18, United States Code Section 371, which prohibits conspiracies to defraud the United States.
The specific legal question in this case is not whether the President lied, but asked more realistically: Did the President and his administration defraud the country?
False statements are lies, and he did defraud the owners of the United States, the American people, who are, at this very moment in time, facing some of the most economically dangerous times since the Great Depression.
It is now a proven reality that Bush and his administration engaged in organized lying and deception to defraud the American people into supporting wars in both Afghanistan and Iraq. However, one must look closer at the details and analyze the information that brought this nation to the point of invading and occupying two sovereign oil rich nations.
The pretext that launched the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq is of course September 11, 2001. The collapse of both the North and South towers are now under scrutiny, as well as the collapse of World Trade Center 7, with its highly suspicious free-fall collapse.
One can navigate to the web site, www.ae911truth.org, (architects and engineers for 911 truth), to view the data and the video confirming that WTC 7 was indeed a controlled demolition.
The government controlled NIST would have us believe that the terrorists used anti-gravity devices on September 11, 2001, as the North and South towers collapsed neatly into their own footprints at free-fall speed, sending debris and human body parts onto the rooftops of adjoining buildings, the debris following the exact physical laws of projectile motion, propelled by explosive charges. Whatever your beliefs, this supposition is not so unbelievable in view of the fact that Bush and Cheney have been, and still are, lying to the American people. How many lies involve 911?
A reasonable prudent individual must ask some serious questions about the behavior of vice president Dick Cheney, a former top executive at the oil service firm Halliburton, concerning his vice presidential energy task force meeting and related documents, which are not public information. Several organizations, one of them Judicial Watch, have sued under the Freedom of Information Act and have received some documents related to maps concerning the oil fields and potential oil fields in Iraq. Upon close inspection of these maps, which were drawn up before the invasion of Iraq, various cities and other geographic features are not shown, providing a perspective that confirms only oil interests are important to Dick Cheney.
At the end of the Clinton presidency, the world was becoming sympathetic to the needs of the Palestinian people and their plight. However, when Bush came into office all of the sympathy collected for the Palestinians was instantly dispelled on September 11, 2001. On that day, a marketing campaign, complete with a massive media blitz, confirmed our suspicions that radical Islamic terrorists had, presumably living in caves, using anti-gravity devices, brought down the symbols of financial might in New York City, the Twin Towers and WTC 7. All Arabs, in effect, were now guilty by association of that crime. Palestinians were now terrorists, as well as some Muslim leaders in Afghanistan, who, ostensibly, were holding up the construction of an oil pipeline that would circumnavigate their country, bringing crude oil to a warm water port for easy access to the United States. Israel would benefit wildly from this strategy, extorting billions from the United States, as now Israel was under siege too, by groups of Arab children and adults throwing rocks and the occasional missile, into the Jewish state.
Israel receives approximately $3 billion annually in direct foreign assistance from the United States, with 75 percent comprising military aid, and the remaining 25 percent broken down into economic aid. In 2003 Israel received loan guarantees totaling $9 billion dollars to help Israel prepare for the upcoming war with Iraq and the potential economic crisis created by the war. Private donations to Israel from the citizens of the United States are estimated to be approximately $2 billion annually, with some of the money subsidizing the colonization of the occupied territories.
In 2005 Israel received approximately $154 billion from US taxpayers in the form of direct grants rather than loans. It is therefore extremely profitable for Israel to maintain the current strategy of labeling as many Arabs as possible as terrorists, and in effect, prolong the war and hatred in the Middle East indefinitely, or until an economic crisis forces the American taxpayer into a populist tax revolt, forcing the American government to find a permanent solution to the Israeli and Palestinian conflict.
Another suspicious activity under scrutiny is the insider trading that took place weeks, days, and minutes before the attacks on the World Trade Center towers. The FBI had sent a team to Wall Street weeks before 911 to investigate suspicious trading activity, which was sending up red flags in the computer programs that monitor such stock market activity. In fact, transfers of huge sums of money were made minutes before and after the planes hit the WTC towers, the individuals involved ostensibly knowing that the buildings would be destroyed to neatly cover their crime. Stock markets around the world showed spikes in market data that confirmed that insider trading was taking place worldwide. A rather large group of people had inside information about 911 and profited from the death of over 2000 American citizens. Yet, investigative agencies like the FBI and SEC have never charged anyone connected with this crime, and to date, have declared that the suspicious inside trading activity was a completely normal financial statistic. A nonpartisan research group, the Center for Responsive Politics, released a study recently that exposes members' of Congress, who have collectively invested 196 million dollars in defense companies and related industries doing business with the Department of Defense, earning millions since the beginning of the Iraq war.
The Anthrax attacks of late October 2001 unleashed fear and panic in the U.S. Postal Service that reverberated from the halls of Congress and ranged from Florida to Connecticut, killing five people and placing thousands on antibiotics. Two letters filled with Anthrax were addressed to two democratic senators, Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy, as well as the NBC and ABC studios. Coincidently, both senators at the time were holding up the passage of the USA Patriot Act, which gave federal agencies broad new powers in the war against terrorism. The letters had notes with a crude style of writing to make it appear they came from a radical Arab state, with statements like, "death to Israel", and "Allah is great" included with the weaponized Anthrax spores. Within a few days after the attacks government researchers determined that the specific strain of Anthrax used in the attacks was the Ames Strain, the same strain used by the U.S. military and its private contractors specifically for use in United States Military biological warfare programs.
All of the above events are interrelated, and more than likely preplanned in advanced, and point to a sinister plan by the Bush administration to control the largest oil-producing region in the world, the Muslim occupied Middle East. Michael Meacher, a former British politician, in his article, This War on Terrorism is Bogus, claims the September 11, 2001 attacks gave the United States, under the leadership of George W. Bush, an ideal pretext to use military force to secure domination of the Persian Gulf oil-producing region, and parts of the Muslim world. Mr. Meacher claims that the United States and the United Kingdom are running out of hydrocarbon energy supplies. He claims that by 2010 the Muslim world will control 60 percent of the world's oil production, and 95 percent of the remaining global oil export capacity. As other European and Asian nations compete for a limited supply of oil, paying top dollar to secure huge oil concessions and the right to transport huge quantities of oil across such countries as Afghanistan, will military force be the preferred method of settling regional and national energy disputes for the Unites States and Britain?
Both countries have engaged in chicanery and are rife with corruption and insane policies that have led directly to the inflated cost of crude oil, rising food costs, and the financial collapse of over-inflated financial institutions on Wall Street, as well as the declining dollar. The American and British people are now left to suffer the insane minds of the very politicians that they elect to represent them in domestic and world affairs. Let history note that the decline of the United States began under the leadership of a very unstable individual named George Bush, who, himself, is an alcoholic and self-admitted heavy drug abuser who has caused irreparable damage to the United States economy and Iraq through the use of policies that are, for lack of a better word, insane.

I hold several degress from the Pennsylvania State University and I love to research what most people call conspiracies. For example, the JFK assassination and 911, and vCJD (Mad Cow disease), to name a few. I have come to realize that we in America do not live in a democracy, but a rule by a small corrupt majority which happens to be filthy rich - the same people who brought us the genocide of the Native Americans, slavery, and endless perpetual wars as part of a national energy strategy for the United States by the collusion of energy corporations and the US Military.
My primary goal is to help expose these people who start all of the wars, become bloated with wealth, from the backs of the destitute poor soldiers, and try to make the world a better place for humanity by helping cure the sick, discovering new forms of energy, and to make warfare illegal on planet Earth. The human species has now evolved enough to know better, and we need leaders to show us the way, as we can have heaven here on Earth, not some form of a deranged idea of heaven in some parts of outer space, which extremists of all forms are dying to get into.
