[Expanded and Revised July 11, 2002 - Evidence of Bush Administration
Foreknowledge and complicity is now overwhelming. 13 New Items (noted in
RED) Since Our Last Revision!]



November 2, 2001, 12:00 PST -- On October 31 the French daily Le Figaro
dropped a bombshell. While in a Dubai hospital receiving treatment for a
chronic kidney infection last July, Osama bin Laden met with a top CIA
official -- presumably the chief of station. The meeting, held in bin
Ladenís private suite, took place at the American hospital in Dubai at a
time when he was a wanted fugitive for the bombings of two U.S. embassies
and last yearís attack on the U.S.S. Cole. Bin Laden was eligible for
execution according to a 2000 intelligence finding issued by President
Bill Clinton before leaving office in January. Yet on July 14, 2001 he was
allowed to leave Dubai on a private jet, and there were no Navy fighters
waiting to force him down.

In 1985 Oliver North -- the only member of the Reagan-Bush years who
doesnít appear to have a hand in the current war -- sent the Navy and
commandos after terrorists on the cruise ship Achille Lauro. In his 1991
autobiography "Under Fire," while describing terrorist Abu Abbas, North
wrote, "I used to wonder: how many dead Americans will it take before we
do something?" One could look at the number of Americans Osama bin Laden
is alleged to have killed before Sept. 11 and ask the same question.

It gets worse, much worse. A more complete timeline listing crucial events
both before and after the Sept. 11 suicide attacks, which have been blamed
on bin Laden, establishes CIA foreknowledge of them and strongly suggests
that there was criminal complicity on the part of the U.S. government in
their execution. It also makes clear that the events that have taken place
since Sept. 11 are based upon an agenda that has little to do with the
attacks.

[June 19, 2002] -- As the revelations of Bush Administration foreknowledge
have progressed from silence, to trickle, to cascade, the question has now
changed from forcing the evidence into the open into one of forcing both
the media and the people to avoid denying this information in the hopes
that their desire for a sense of "normalcy" can be fulfilled. As many of
us have known for years, normalcy went out the window forever when the
first plane hit the tower. And what has been revealed will not be resolved
with an expensive fact-finding commission, a few firing, or even an
impeachment proceeding. What is needed in America -- and in the global
economic system -- is an overhaul, not a tune up.

1. 1991-1997 - Major U.S. oil companies including ExxonMobil, Texaco,
Unocal, BP Amoco, Shell and Enron directly invest billions in cash bribing
heads of state in Kazakhstan to secure equity rights in the huge oil
reserves in these regions. The oil companies further commit to future
direct investments in Kazakhstan of $35 billion. Not being willing to pay
exorbitant prices to Russia to use Russian pipelines, the major oil
companies have no way to recoup their investments. [Source: "The Price of
Oil" by Seymour Hersh, The New Yorker, July 9, 2001 - The Asia Times, "The
Roving Eye Part I Jan. 26, 2002.]

2.    January 1995 - Philippine police investigating a possible attack on
the Pope uncover plans for Operation Bojinka, connected to World Trade
Center (WTC) bomber Ramsi Youssef. Parts of the plan call for crashing
hijacked airliners into civilian targets. Details of the plan are
disclosed in Youssefís 1997 trial for the 1993 WTC bombing. [Source:
Agence France-Presse, Dec. 7, 2001]

3.  Dec. 4, 1997 - Representatives of the Taliban are invited guests to
the Texas headquarters of Unocal to negotiate their support for the
pipeline. Subsequent reports will indicate that the negotiations failed,
allegedly because the Taliban wanted too much money. [Source: The BBC,
Dec. 4, 1997]

4. Feb. 12, 1998 - Unocal Vice President John J. Maresca -- later to
become a special ambassador to Afghanistan -- testifies before the House
that until a single, unified, friendly government is in place in
Afghanistan, the trans-Afghani pipeline needed to monetize the oil will
not be built. [Source: Testimony before the House International Relations
Committee.]

5.  August 1998 - After the U.S. cruise missile attacks on Al Qaeda
targets in Afghanistan in retaliation for the African embassy bombings,
Unocal officially withdraws from participation in the CentGas
trans-Afghani gas pipeline project. [Various sources, Unocal]

6.  1998 -- The CIA ignores warnings from Case Officer Robert Baer that
Saudi Arabia was harboring an Al Qaeda cell led by two known terrorists. A
more detailed list of known terrorists is offered to Saudi intelligence in
August 2001 and refused. [Source: Financial Times Jan. 21, 2001; ìSee No
Evilî by Robert Baer (release date February 2002)]

7.  April 1999 - Enron with a $3 billion investment to build an electrical
generating plant at Dabhol, India loses access to plentiful LNG supplies
from Qatar to fuel the plant. Its only remaining option to make the
investment profitable is a trans-Afghani gas pipeline to be built by
Unocal from Turkmenistan that would terminate near the Indian border at
the city of Multan. [Source: The Albion Monitor, Feb. 28, 2002]

8.  1998 and 2000 - Former President George H.W. Bush travels to Saudi
Arabia on behalf of the privately owned Carlyle Group, the 11th largest
defense contractor in the U.S. While there he meets privately with the
Saudi royal family and the bin Laden family. [Source: Wall Street Journal,

9.  March 2000 - An FBI agent, reportedly angry over a glitch in Carnivore
that has somehow mixed innocent non-targeted emails with those belonging
to Al Qaeda, destroys all of the FBIís Denver-based intercepts of bin
Ladenís colleagues in a terrorist investigation. [Source: The Washington
Post, May 29, 2002]

10. 2000 (est.) - The FBI refuses to disclose the date of an internal memo
stating that a Middle Eastern nation had been trying to purchase a flight
simulator. [Source: Los Angeles Times, May 30, 2002]

11. August 2000 -- Suspected Al Qaeda operatives wiretapped by Italian
police made apparent references to plans for major attacks involving
airports, airplanes and the United States according to transcripts
obtained by the Los Angeles Times. The Times suggests that the information
might not have been passed to U.S. authorities (hard to believe), but it
did report that Italian authorities would not comment on the report. The
Times also noted that "Italian and U.S. anti-terrorism experts cooperate
closely." [Source: The Los Angeles Times, May 29, 2002]

12. Oct. 24-26, 2000 - Pentagon officials carry out a "detailed" emergency
drill based upon the crashing of a hijacked airliner into the Pentagon.
[Source: The Mirror, May 24, 2002]

13. January 2001 - The Bush Administration orders the FBI and intelligence
agencies to "back off" investigations involving the bin Laden family,
including two of Osama bin Ladenís relatives (Abdullah and Omar) who were
living in Falls Church, Va. -- right next to CIA headquarters. This
followed previous orders dating back to 1996 that frustrated efforts to
investigate the bin Laden family. [Source: BBC Newsnight, Correspondent
Gregg Palast, Nov. 7, 2001]

14. Feb. 13, 2001 - UPI terrorism correspondent Richard Sale -- while
covering a trial of bin Ladenís Al Qaeda followers -- reports that the
National Security Agency has broken bin Ladenís encrypted communications.
Even if this indicates that bin Laden changed systems in February, it does
not mesh with the fact that the government insists that the attacks had
been planned for years.

15. May 2001 - Secretary of State Colin Powell gives $43 million in aid to
the Taliban regime, purportedly to assist hungry farmers who are starving
since the destruction of their opium crop in January on orders of the
Taliban regime. [Source: Los Angeles Times, May 22, 2001]

16. May 2001 - Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, a career covert
operative and former Navy Seal, travels to India on a publicized tour,
while CIA Director George Tenet makes a quiet visit to Pakistan to meet
with Pakistani leader Gen. Pervez Musharraf. Armitage has long and deep
Pakistani intelligence connections. It would be reasonable to assume that
while in Islamabad, Tenet, in what was described as "an unusually long
meeting," also met with his Pakistani counterpart, Lt. Gen. Mahmud Ahmad,
head of the ISI. [Source: The Indian SAPRA news agency, May 22, 2001]

17. June 2001 - German intelligence, the BND, warns the CIA and Israel
that Middle Eastern terrorists are "planning to hijack commercial aircraft
to use as weapons to attack important symbols of American and Israeli

20. summer 2001 - According to a Sept. 26 story in Britainís The Guardian,
correspondent David Leigh reported that "U.S. department of defense
official, Dr. Jeffrey Starr, visited Tajikistan in January. The Guardianís
Felicity Lawrence established that U.S. Rangers were also training special
troops in Kyrgyzstan. There were unconfirmed reports that Tajik and Uzbek
special troops were training in Alaska and Montana."

21. summer 2001 (est.) - Pakistani ISI Chief Gen. Ahmad (see above) orders
an aide to wire transfer $100,000 to Mohammed Atta who was, according to
the FBI, the lead terrorist in the suicide hijackings. Ahmad recently
resigned after the transfer was disclosed in India and confirmed by the
FBI. The individual who makes the wire transfer at Ahmadís direction is
Ahmad Umar Sheik, the lead suspect in the kidnapping and murder of Wall
Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. [Source: The Times of India, Oct.11,
2001.]

22.  summer 2001 - The online newswire online.ie reports on Sept. 14 that
an Iranian man phones U.S. law enforcement to warn of an imminent attack
on the WTC in the week of Sept. 9. German police confirm the calls but

23. summer 2001 - Jordanian intelligence, the GID, makes a communications
intercept deemed so important that King Abdullahís men relay it to
Washington, probably through the CIA station in Amman. To make doubly sure
the message got through it was passed through an Arab intermediary to a
German intelligence agent. The message: A major attack was planned inside
the U.S., and aircraft would be used. The code name of the operation was
ìThe Big Wedding."  "When it became clear that the information was
embarrassing to Bush Administration officials and congressmen who at first
denied that there had been any such warnings before Sept. 11, senior
Jordanian officials backed away from their earlier confirmations." This
case was authenticated by ABC reporter John K. Cooley. [Source:
International Herald Tribune (IHT), May 21, 2002]

24. summer 2001 (est.) - The National Security Agency intercepts telephone
conversations between bin Laden aide Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and Mohammed
Atta and does not share the information with any other agencies. [Source:

25. June 26, 2001 - The magazine indiareacts.com states that "India and
Iran will 'facilitateí U.S. and Russian plans for 'limited military
actioní against the Taliban." The story indicates that the fighting will
be done by U.S. and Russian troops with the help of Tajikistan and
Uzbekistan. [Source: indiareacts.com, June 26, 2001]

26. summer 2001 - Russian intelligence notifies the CIA that 25 terrorist
pilots have been specifically training for missions involving hijacked
airliners. This is reported in the Russian press and news stories are

28. July 15, 2001 - Members of the G8, meeting in Genoa, Italy, discuss
the Taliban, pipelines, and the handing over of Osama bin Laden. According
to Pakistani representative Ambassador Naiz Naik, the U.S. delegation, led

29. July 2001 - Immediately after the G8 Summit three American officials
-- Tom Simmons (former U.S. ambassador to Pakistan), Karl Inderfurth
(former assistant secretary of state for South Asian affairs) and Lee
Coldren (former State Department expert on South Asia) -- meet with
Pakistani and Russian intelligence officers in Berlin and tell them that
the U.S. is planning military strikes against Afghanistan in October. A
French book released in November, "Bin Laden - La Verite Interdite,"
discloses that Taliban representatives often sat in on the meetings.
British papers confirm that the Pakistani ISI relayed the threats to the
Taliban. [Source: The Guardian, Sept. 22, 2001; the BBC, Sept. 18, 2001;

30. July 2001 - The G8 summit at Genoa, Italy is surrounded by
anti-aircraft guns, and local airspace is closed off after Italian and
Egyptian officials (including President Hosni Mubarak) warn American
intelligence that airliners stuffed with explosives might be used to
attack President Bush. U.S. officials state that the warnings were
"unsubstantiated." (But I wonder if they would have taken away the
anti-aircraft artillery?) [Source: Los Angeles Times, Sept. 27, 2001]

31. July 26, 2001 - CBS News reports that John Ashcroft has stopped flying
commercial airlines due a threat assessment. Ashcroft told the press that
he didnít know anything about what had caused it.

33. August 2001 - The FBI arrests an Islamic militant linked to bin Laden
in Boston. French intelligence sources confirm that the man is a key
member of bin Ladenís network and the FBI learns that he has been taking
flying lessons. At the time of his arrest the man is in possession of
technical information on Boeing aircraft and flight manuals. [Source:

34. Aug. 11 or 12, 2001 ‚ U.S. Navy Lt. Delmart "Mike" Vreeland, jailed in
Toronto on U.S. fraud charges and claiming to be an officer with U.S.
naval intelligence, writes details of the pending WTC attacks and seals
them in an envelope, which he gives to Canadian authorities. [Source: The
Toronto Star, Oct. 23, 2001; Toronto Superior Court Records]

35. August 2001 - As reported in the IHT both a French magazine (name not
given) and a Moroccan newspaper simultaneously report that a Moroccan
agent named Hassan Dabou had penetrated Al Qaeda to the point of getting
close to bin Laden, who was "very disappointed" that the 1993 bombing had
not toppled the WTC. Dabou was called to the U.S. after reporting this,
which curtailed his ability to stay in touch with the organization and
gather additional intelligence that might have prevented the attacks.
Though not proved beyond a doubt, these stories have been met with a wall
of silence. [The IHT, May 21, 2002]

39. August/September 2001 - The Dow Jones Industrial Average drops nearly
900 points in the three weeks prior to the attack. A major stock market
crash is imminent.

40. August/September 2001 - According to a detailed 13-page memo written
by Minneapolis FBI legal officer Colleen Rowley, FBI headquarters ignores
urgent, direct warnings from French intelligence services about pending
attacks. In addition, a single Supervisory Special Agent (SSA) in
Washington expends extra effort to thwart the field officeís investigation
of Zacarias Moussaoui, in one case rewriting Rowleyís affidavit for a
search warrant to search Moussaouiís laptop. Rowleyís memo uses terms like
"deliberately sabotage," "block," "integrity," "omitted," "downplayed,"
"glossed over," "mis-characterize," "improper political reasons,
"deliberately thwarting," "deliberately further undercut," "suppressed,"
and "not completely honest." These are not terms describing negligent acts
but rather, deliberate acts. FBI field agents desperately attempt to get
action, but to no avail. One agent speculates that bin Laden might be
planning to crash airliners into the WTC, while Rowley ironically noted
that the SSA who had committed these deliberate actions had actually been
promoted after Sept. 11. [Source: Associated Press, May 21, 2002]

41. Sept. 3-10, 2001 - MSNBC reports on Sept. 16 that a caller to a Cayman
Islands radio talk show gave several warnings of an imminent attack on the
U.S. by bin Laden in the week prior to 9-11.

42. early-September 2001 - An FBI internal document, based upon field
notes from Minnesota field agents discloses that the agents had been
investigating and had questioned the "20th hijacker," Zacarias Moussaoui.
The field notes speculate that Moussaoui, who had been taking flight
lessons, might crash an airliner into the WTC. Interestingly, the field
agentsí requests to obtain a search warrant for his personal computer were
denied. French intelligence confirms to the FBI that Moussaoui has ties to
terrorist groups and may have traveled to Afghanistan. The agents also had
no knowledge of the Phoenix memo (See Item #18). One news story states
that agents were in "a frenzy," absolutely convinced that he was "going to
do something with a plane." [Source: Newsweek, May 20, 2002 issue, story

43. Sept. 1-10 2001 - In an exercise, called Operation "Swift Sword" and
planned for four years, 23,000 British troops are steaming toward Oman.
Although the 9-11 attacks caused a hiccup in the deployment, the massive
operation was implemented as planned. At the same time two U.S. carrier
battle groups arrive on station in the Gulf of Arabia just off the
Pakistani coast. Also at the same time, some 17,000 U.S. troops join more
than 23,000 NATO troops in Egypt for Operation "Bright Star." All of these
forces are in place before the first plane hits the WTC. [Sources: The

45. Sept. 6-7, 2001 - Put options (a speculation that the stock will go
down) totaling 4,744 are purchased on United Air Lines stock, as opposed
to only 396 call options (speculation that the stock will go up). This is
a dramatic and abnormal increase in sales of put options. Many of the
United puts are purchased through Deutschebank/A.B. Brown, a firm managed
until 1998 by the current executive director of the CIA, A.B. "Buzzy"
Krongard. [Source: The Herzliyya International Policy Institute for

46. Sept. 10, 2001 - Put options totaling 4,516 are purchased on American
Airlines as compared to 748 call options. [Source: Herzliyya Institute -

47. Sept. 6-11, 2001 - No other airlines show any similar trading patterns
to those experienced by United and American. The put option purchases on
both airlines were 600 percent above normal. This at a time when Reuters
(Sept. 10) issues a business report stating, "Airline stocks may be poised
to take off."

48. Sept. 6-10, 2001 - Highly abnormal levels of put options are purchased
in Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, AXA Re(insurance) which owns 25 percent

49. It has been documented that the CIA, the Israeli Mossad, and many
other intelligence agencies monitor stock trading in real time using
highly advanced programs reported to be descended from Promis software.
This is to alert national intelligence services of just such kinds of
attacks. Promis was reported as recently as June 2001 to be in Osama bin
Ladenís possession and, as a result of recent stories by Fox, both the FBI
and the Justice Department have confirmed its use for U.S. intelligence
gathering through at least summer 2002. This would confirm that CIA had
additional advance warning of imminent attacks. [Sources: The Washington

56. Sept. 11, 2001 - For 50 minutes, from 8:15 AM until 9:05 AM, with it
widely known within the FAA and the military that four planes have been
simultaneously hijacked and taken off course, no one notifies the
President of the United States. It is not until 9:30 that any Air Force
planes are scrambled to intercept, but by then it is too late. This means
that the National Command Authority waited for 75 minutes before

hijackings had occurred. [Source: CNN; ABC; MSNBC; Los Angeles Times; The

resigned, effective immediately, as head of the Alex Brown (A.B.) unit of
Deutschebank.

61. Sept. 29, 2001 - The San Francisco Chronicle reports that $2.5 million
in put options on American and United airlines are unclaimed. This is
likely the result of the suspension in trading on the New York Stock
Exchange after the attacks, which gave the Securities and Exchange
Commission time to be waiting when the owners showed up to redeem their
put options.

Now, letís go back to the Oct. 31 story by Le Figaro -- the one that has
Osama bin Laden meeting with a CIA officer in Dubai in June 2001.

The story says that, "Throughout his stay in the hospital, Osama Bin Laden
received visits from many family members [There goes the story that heís a
black sheep! --MCR] and Saudi Arabian Emirate personalities of status.
During this time the local representative of the CIA was seen by many
people taking the elevator and going to bin Ladenís room.

"Several days later the CIA officer bragged to his friends about having
visited the Saudi millionaire. From authoritative sources, this CIA agent
visited CIA headquarters on July 15, the day after bin Ladenís departure
for Quetta.

"According to various Arab diplomatic sources and French intelligence
itself, precise information was communicated to the CIA concerning
terrorist attacks aimed at American interests in the world, including its
own territory.

"Extremely bothered, they [American intelligence officers in a meeting
with French intelligence officers] requested from their French peers exact
details about the Algerian activists [connected to bin Laden through Dubai
banking institutions], without explaining the exact nature of their
inquiry. When asked the question, ëWhat do you fear in the coming days?í
the Americans responded with incomprehensible silence.

"On further investigation, the FBI discovered certain plans that had been
put together between the CIA and its ëIslamic friendsí over the years. The
meeting in Dubai is, so it would seem, consistent with 'a certain American
policy.í"

Even though Le Figaro reported that it had confirmed with hospital staff
that bin Laden had been there as reported, stories printed on Nov. 1
contained quotes from hospital staff that these reports were untrue. On
Nov. 1, as reported by the Ananova press agency, the CIA flatly denied
that any meeting between any CIA personnel and Osama bin Laden at any
time.
