‘If Osama bin Laden didn’t exist it would be necessary to invent him’ - Everything about ‘al-Qu’eda’ stinks of set up, from its origins in Saudi Arabia to its alleged role in 9/11. Then there are the bizarre actions of the US government preceding and following 9/11 that even has millions of Americans wondering what the hell their government is up to.

First 9/11, Then 777: Will Iran be the next Iraq? - Finally, the 777 attacks in London may end up having a lot in common with the highly suspicious 9/11 tragedy in NYC. The War Party used 9/11 as an excuse for the U.S. to invade and occupy Iraq. Now, I predict, that 777 will be manipulated as well as a pretext by it, along with other bogus claims, to fulfill its predatory ambitions in the Middle East. Absent Russia’s intervention as Iran’s protector, the “Shock and Awe” terror show, so cruelly perpetrated on Baghdad by U.S. and British forces, will soon be on its way to Tehran.

American Author In London Talks About Subway Bombings And Anti-Bush Book Written in Arabic - “My book delves into some pretty controversial topics, like the present administration’s connections and involvement with pedophilia in America.

Above all, they want to know how Bush has been able to avoid impeachment for committing high crimes.
