Subject: BBC SHOCKER #2: REAL story about/11 revealed by insiders


Subheading: Another World isn't just Possible: Its urgently Necessary

How's this for a big scoop:

Al Jareeza TV will on Thursday reveal details of an interview a
reporter of that station (taken to a location he was not allowed to
know) with top Al Qaeda operatives. See BBC URL below for full
story. Revealed:

* The original targets were not the World Trade Center, but
nuclear power plants. But the plotters decided against this "for the
moment" because of fears it could "Get out of control". 
(Nice to know murderous maniacs, too, can have some 
self control; will this apply to the murderous maniac
who heads the US?)

* Also Revealed: the other target was not the White House but Congress

* Also Revealed: those who suggested Bin Laden is a hateful person
who (like Bush) approves of murder, but is a spiritual leader rather
than mastermind, seem to be solidly confirmed: Atta, it is revealed,
set the date of 9/11 on August 29. Then, a full week later, he decided
to tell Bin Laden that that was what was decided by Atta and his operatives.
So other people were the Masterminds, apparently Atta, they, not Bin
Laden planned it, made the decision over dates, etc, and later
informed Bin Laden, what they decided to do.

Now think about the nuclear madness that came so close to happening.

I ask you to remember two things.

One, that killing tens of thousands of innocent civilians again in
Iraq or elsewhere will not only help further recruit for such
maniacs.

Two, that Bush and his gang OPPOSE exactly the steps that would bring
the world away from the nuclear cliff, they oppose  binding
international verifiable inspections and so on, because they want the
U.S. to continue to develop "better" (deadlier) nuclear
weapons. Surprise, surprise, the rest of the world don't like that,
and doesn't sit on its hands. Also Bush and gang oppose other
international conventions (because the US would not be "Exempt") which
would  make a verified,disarmed, safer world possible.

As for item 1, Bush and gang will use this as a reason to bomb even more,
pretending that they can just remove all evil doers from planet
earth. This is nonsense, but Bush and co don't operate by logic. They
operate in the interests of Exxon-Mobil and military contractors and
multi-national corporations.  In fact super-capitalist and billionaire
Warren Buffet doesn't believe it either: he made headlines after 9/11
saying a nuclear terrorist attack on the US (one which succeeded, for
lack of a better term) is "inevitable". That's right, a leading,
very high profile, right-wing, capitalist icon (who happens to
own re-insurance companies, so he need to know which disaster will
happen) says it's "inevitable".
 
Of course that's "inevitable" in this world, George W Bush's and
Warren Buffet's world of might makes right, and profits uber
ales. This shows that the phrase "another world is possible" by those
who oppose (corporate-)globalization should be strengthened to:
"Another world is Absolutely Necessary. The way to safety
is not where the Bin Ladens and Bushs scream for us to march
hurriedly towards...Bush, remember, is an ex-friend of Saddam,
his CIA created and funded the Taliban, they are of the same cloth,
of the same violence and power and "my way or the highway, no
compromise" ideology, and the same "if thousands of people have to die,
that's an acceptable price, to meet my objectives" ideology

If we continue to live like barbarians, with the CIA funding
the Taliban in years past, funding Saddam in years past, with Bush and
Clinton letting the US be the #1 exporter of arms, all while
continuing to kill tens of thousands of civilians with bombs, all while
blocking any UN moves to end the preventable deaths by starvation  cause by
multinational scams and rich counties subsidies of those
companies...then sine no system is 100% effective, eventually there
will be "successful" strikes, and since technology allows  for ever
more powerful actions, the result is destruction on ever larger scales.

The alternative is a world in which equality, democracy, human values
instead of profit values, cooperation instead of domination,
prevails. In which America is loved by being not a military superpower
but a superpower of morality, aid to the third world, and
cooperation. Have you noticed that  Denmark, Sweden, and other such
countries don't worry about anywhere near the same amount of terrorism
against them?

Which world do you want to live in?

We know which world the militarists and right-wingers
have brought us: they funded Iran, they created and funded the
Taliban, they funded Iraq, they sell weapons all over the world, and
they support dictators  when dictators are "Friendly" to corporate
profit interests...we know how much "safer" we will be with the
militarists' so-called "solutions": if violence was the answer,
if "whenever you kill 10 of ours, we'll kill 20 or 100 of yours"
worked, then Israel would be the safest place on earth; my country of
birth, Israel, has practiced this violence for years and we know it is one of
the Least safe countries in the world...

We know these militarists oppose international conventions for because
they don't want any limits on US biological weapons, they don't want
any limits on every more expanded US  nuclear weapons, and they are
surprised that the world as a whole also becomes ever more heavily
armed. If the US was the world's leading arms merchant, is it a
surprise your country has more arms?

If the US supports a dictator in your country, who need military equipment to keep
in power, it is a surprise the world is more armed? If the US kills
tens of thousands of civilians in other countries, both democratic,
and not, is it a surprise the world wants arms to defend itself? If
the US never agrees to halt its own development of ever stronger
nuclear capabilities, and never agrees to renounce not to be the first
to use nuclear weapons, is it a wonder that India and Pakistan and
other countries want nuclear weapons, especially when they see what
happens to a dirt poor country like Afghanistan whose innocent
civilians are killed by the thousands? 

These policies are not only immoral, they are deeply harmful and
dangerous to US citizens, as well as to the rest of the world The
patriotic dissidents and pro-peace folks who have oppose these insane
policies are not unpatriotic: the people who have perpetuated these
policies and continue to do so, and dupe the well-intentioned American
public into supporting them, THEY are the unpatriotic ones, THEY are the
ones who should hang their heads low in shame. And the people who
oppose this madness are not a threat to the nation; the leaders who
perpetuate this madness, THEY are a threat to our nation, and to the world.

Another world is not only possible: it is vitally necessary for the
survival of the human race.

It is our strong belief that a non-military response is the best
strategy for a permanent end to terror. We believe in a non-military
response for the following reasons:

"Once in the United States, Atta communicated with higher ranking
al-Qaida officials via email, Fouda wrote. But when he had determined
everything was ready, he telephoned Binalshibh in Germany to tell him
the date, using a riddle that referred to the shapes of the numbers 9
and 11."
http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/timeline/2002/ap090802.html
[so apparently the date 9/11 was chosen by Atta who told
Binalshibh who (through others?) later informed Bin Laden
on 9/6 of what the opratoin was and that it's date would be 9/11]
["The final date for the operation was in Atta's hands. Atta had
Shaikh Mohammed's complete trust.
