the bush family has many ties to the bin Ladens
---

Lest we forget, one day before the 9/11 attacks, the dad of the sitting 
President of the United States of America,* George Herbert Walker Bush* was 
meeting none other than Shafig bin Laden, the brother of terror mastermind 
Osama bin Laden. 

Confirmed by the Washington Post, “fellow investors” of the Carlyle Group 
including Osama’s brother *Shafiq bin Laden* and Dubya’s dad former 
President *George H. W. Bush* met in the plush surroundings of the 
Ritz-Carlton Hotel on September 10-11, 2001. Their business encounter under 
the auspices of the Carlyle Group was unfortunately interrupted on 
September 11 by the 9/11 attacks.

It didn’t help that as the World Trade Center burned on Sept. 11, 2001, *the 
news interrupted a Carlyle business conference at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel 
here attended by a brother of Osama bin Laden [Shafiq bin Laden]. Former 
president Bush* [senior], a fellow investor, had been with him at the 
conference the previous day. (Greg Schneider, Pairing the Powerful With the 
Rich, Washington Post, March 16, 2003)

A timely business meeting on September 10-11 at the Ritz Carlton with 
Osama’s brother disrupted by the 9/11 attacks: pure coincidence,  totally 
unrelated to the 9/11 attacks.

A day later, on the evening of September 11, 2001, president George W. Bush 
pronounced a historic speech in which he defined the relationship between 
“terrorists’ and “state sponsors of terrorism”:

The search is underway for those who are *behind these evil acts*. I’ve 
directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforcement 
communities *to find those responsible and to bring them to justice. We 
will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts 
and those who harbor them.*

Also in attendance at the Ritz Carlton meetings were former secretary of 
defense Frank Carlucci, former secretary of state James Baker III, and 
other unnamed members of the bin Laden family.

The bin Laden – Bush Carlyle Group meeting was also confirmed by The 
Economist in a June 2003 article entitled C- for Capitalism 
<http://www.economist.com/node/1875084>:

ON the day Osama bin Laden’s men attacked America, Shafiq bin Laden, 
described as an estranged brother of the terrorist, was at an investment 
conference in Washington, DC, along with two people who are close to 
President George Bush: his father, the first President Bush, and James 
Baker, the former secretary of state who masterminded the legal campaign 
that secured Dubya’s move to the White House. The conference was hosted by 
the Carlyle Group, a private equity firm that manages billions of dollars, 
including, at the time, some bin Laden family wealth. It also employs 
Messrs Bush and Baker.

In the immediate aftermath of the attacks, *when no one was being allowed 
in or out of the United States, many members of the bin Laden family in 
America were spirited home to Saudi Arabia. The revival of defence spending 
that followed greatly increased the value of the Carlyle Group’s 
investments in defence companies.*(emphasis added)

The Carlyle Group is  embroiled  with the defense and intelligence 
establishment. “It is widely regarded as an extension of the US government, 
or at least the National Security Agency, the CIA, and the Pentagon.”

Double standards in anti-terrorism legislation? Double standards in police 
and law enforcement? No questions asked. No police investigation or 
interrogation of Osama’s brother Shafig.
Normally, under established rules of police investigation, both Shafig bin 
Laden and the president’s dad George Herbert Walker Bush should have been 
remanded in custody for police questioning and in all likelihood, Shafig 
bin Laden would have been arrested as a potential suspect. But that did not 
happen.

The presence of members of the bin Laden family meeting up with the father 
of the president of the United States was hushed up and 13 members of the 
bin Ladens including Shafig were flown out of the US on September 19, 2001 
in a plane chartered by the White House. Meanwhile, suspected Muslims are 
arrested on a mere suspicion, –e.g. that they have an old school friend, 
who’s cousin’s 86 year old grandmother is an alleged sympathizer of the 
“jihad”.

Timely departure of Shafig et al: On the day following the departure of the 
bin Ladens, President Bush delivered an address to a joint session of the 
House and the Senate (September 20, 2001), in which he stated unequivocally 
his administration’s intent to *“pursue nations that provide aid or safe 
haven to terrorism”*, with no exceptions (e.g. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan)

“We will starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against another, drive 
them from place to place, until there is no refuge or no rest. *And we will 
pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism.* Every nation, 
in every region, now has a decision to make.

Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. (Applause.)

>From this day forward, *any nation that continues to harbor or support 
terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime* [state 
sponsor of terrorism].  President George W. Bush, 20 September 2001 
(emphasis added)

*Osama behind 9/11?*

According to CIA Director George Tenet in a late morning statement on 
September 11, 2001, Al Qaeda under the helm of Osama bin Laden was “behind 
these evil acts”.

The alleged responsibility of Osama bin Laden in carrying out the 9/11 
attacks was later confirmed by Britain’s Prime Minister Tony Blair in a 
statement to the the House of Commons on October 4, 2001.  This did not, 
 however,  prevent Tony Blair from socializing with Saudi Prince Bandar bin 
Sultan, who prior to 9/11 had allegedly provided millions of dollars of 
financial assistance to the Al Qaeda terror network:

In testimony [accused hijacker] Moussawi said he created a database of 
al-Qaeda donors, including members of the royal family such as former 
intelligence chief Prince Turki al-Faisal and Prince Bandar bin Sultan, who 
was Saudi ambassador to the United States for 22 years until 2005. Mint

9/11 attacks (undated). (Mint Press, February 15, 2015)

Known and documented, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and Pakistan have been 
harboring Al Qaeda affiliated terrorists for more than twenty years.

In accordance with George W. Bush’s September 2001 address to the House and 
the Senate, America’s staunchest allies –which routinely provide support to 
terrorists– should have been categorized as “hostile regimes”. Yet in 
practice, these “nations that provide a safe haven to terrorism” are acting 
on behalf of the US. They are in permanent and close liaison with 
Washington and NATO headquarters in Brussels.

“You are either with us or with the terrorists”, said George W. in the wake 
of 9/11. In fact the US government is both “with us” and “with the 
terrorists”. *The United States is the ultimate “state sponsor of 
terrorism” which has entrusted its allies (Saudi Arabia, et al) with the 
tasks of recruitment and training of terrorists. *

*Flash Forward: NATO and The Islamic State (ISIS)*

State sponsorship of terrorism prevails, with NATO playing a central role 
in the process of financing, training and recruitment of terrorists. 
According to Israeli intelligence sources,  *NATO and the Turkish High 
Command have been involved in the recruitment of ISIS and Al Nusrah 
mercenaries* from the outset of the Syrian insurgency in March 2011.

 *“a campaign to enlist thousands of Muslim volunteers in Middle East 
countries and the Muslim world to fight alongside the Syrian rebels. The 
Turkish army would house these volunteers, train them and secure their 
passage into Syria.* (DEBKAfile, NATO to give rebels anti-tank weapons, 
August 14, 2011.)

Similarly, Western Special Forces and Western intelligence operatives had 
integrated the ranks of the ISIS. British Special Forces and MI6 have been 
involved in training jihadist rebels in Syria. In turn, US, Canada embassy 
officials are in liaison with terrorist entities.

Update (March 18, 2015)

*Concluding Remarks*

What should be clear to Western public opinion is that *“the war on 
terrorism” is a lie. The architects of terrorism are the Western 
governments and their intelligence services. The anti-terrorism legislation 
serves the following objectives: *

1. It conveys the illusion that Western society is threatened by Muslim 
terrorists and that Western governments are committed to the security of 
their citizens. This in itself constitutes the basis of the demonization 
campaign directed against Muslims;

2. It presents the “Global War on Terrorism” against an outside enemy as a 
legitimate undertaking, thereby providing a justification for US-NATO’s 
wars of aggression;

3. It protects the political and intelligence architects of terrorism. It 
upholds the legitimacy of the “State sponsors of terrorism” (State 
officials in high office) and their intelligence services involved in the 
covert financing, recruitment and training of terrorists on behalf of the 
Western military alliance;

4. “The Global War on Terrorism” is a criminal undertaking. Those who 
uphold the truth will be targeted. The Anti-terrorism legislation will be 
used against  those who question the  validity of the “Global War on 
Terrorism” consensus. That campaign has already commenced through the 
targeting of so-called “conspiracy theorists”.

These issues have been amply documented, see:

> It was reported the van contained tonnes of explosives (14

> What's really intriguing is that ABC's 20/20 (15

> But the Jerusalem Post, Israeli National News (Arutz Sheva) (18

> It appears as if there may actually have been two white vans involved, one

> how three Israelis were arrested but later increased the total to five.

> Perhaps one van was meant to drop off a bomb while the other was meant to

> From there, the story gets becomes even more suspicious. The Israelis
