New York/Boston, INN Report/GFP -September 19th, 2003
On Thursday, GFP has learned, that former British Environment Minister Michael Meacher, was
invited in Boston to speak at the Coolidge Room in Ballou Hall, Tufts University, Medford, a few
miles away from Boston.
Obviously, Meacher was already invited a while ago, to talk about U.S. and European trade
conflicts over genetically modified food.
We called University Assistant Siobhan Houton and got an okay in the late afternoon.
Lenny Charles, Producer of New York's INN News Report, took off on Thursday morning and arrived
in time at 5PM, when Meacher was happy to give him an exclusive TV-Interview.
Two weeks ago, Meacher claimed in British Paper Guardian, that the US government knew in
advance about the September 11 attacks but, for strategic reasons, chose not to act on the
warnings: "At least 11 countries provided advance warning" (Guardian 09/06),
With only one exception by Orlando Sentinel, the U.S. Media ignored completely the story of
Meacher.
In Charles' interview, Meacher mentioned the important role of NeoCon Think Tank PNAC, around
current U.S. Government Members Richard Perle, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz
(Rumsfeld's deputy), Jeb Bush (George Bush's younger brother) and Lewis Libby (Cheney's chief of
staff), who were thinking about a war in Iraq already years before the September 11th attacks.
Meacher said, he found most of their documents in public domain and reviews on that in
mainstream outlets.
One of their documents, entitled Rebuilding America's Defences, was already written in September
2000.
The plan shows Bush's cabinet intended to take military control of the Gulf region whether or not
Saddam Hussein was in power. It says "while the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the
immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends
the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein."
It also pinpoints North Korea, Syria and Iran as dangerous regimes, and says their existence
justifies the creation of a "worldwide command and control system"
This blueprint furthermore states that the process of transforming the US into "tomorrow's dominant
force" is likely to be a long one in the absence of "some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a
new Pearl Harbor".
In a Guardian article from September 6th, he furthermore debunked the so called Incompetence
Theory as Bogus.
He said, that it was "clear the US authorities did little or nothing to pre-empt the events of 9/11. It is
known that at least 11 countries provided advance warning to the US of the 9/11 attacks."
He also found a BBC article, which expressed, that "Fifteen of the 9/11 hijackers obtained their
visas in Saudi Arabia.
Michael Springman, the former head of the American visa bureau in Jeddah, has stated that since
1987 the CIA had been illicitly issuing visas to unqualified applicants from the Middle East and
bringing them to the US for training in terrorism for the Afghan war in collaboration with Bin Laden.
INN News Report asked Meacher also about the role of Dick Cheney, who established an Energy
Task Force in early 2001.
Already on April 19th, 2001, Rep. Waxman and Rep. Dingell expressed their concern and wrote to
to Andrew Lundquist, the executive director of the White House's energy task force, asking for
information on the task force's operations.
President Bush established the task force in January 2001 under the Vice President's leadership,
and entrusted it with the task of developing a national energy policy. Also on April 19, Reps.
Waxman and Dingell wrote to the General Accounting Office (GAO), the investigative arm of
Congress, asking it to investigate the conduct, operations, and funding of the task force.
But Cheney refused to talk about the content of the meetings.
Meacher responded on Charles question, that Cheney's ignorance was very disturbing to him, too.
The congressional investigation of the task force was prompted by news reports that the task force
had met privately with major campaign contributors, such as Kenneth Lay, the CEO of Enron, to
discuss energy policy.
According to these reports, major Republican contributors attended private sessions with Vice
President Cheney and the task force met secretly with other contributors in formulating the
President's National Energy Policy.
Meacher decided to look deeper into this case and read in a BBC Report, that also the War
against Afghanistan was planned before the U.S. had any reason to "retaliate".
During his research, he found out, that already in at a meeting in Berlin in mid-July 2001, Niaz
Niak, a former Pakistan foreign secretary, was told by senior American officials, that "military
action against Afghanistan would go ahead by the middle of October".
"Until July 2001 the US government saw the Taliban regime as a source of stability in Central Asia
that would enable the construction of hydrocarbon pipelines from the oil and gas fields in
Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, through Afghanistan and Pakistan, to the Indian Ocean.
But, confronted with the Taliban's refusal to accept US conditions, the US representatives told
them "either you accept our offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs" (Inter
Press Service, November 15 2001).
For INN News Report, Meacher explained that the U.S. Government needed a Cover-up for their
real Interest about Oil.
Already mentioned in Guardian, the PNAC document considered to develop biological weapons
"that can target specific genotypes [and] may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror
to a politically useful tool".
As we learned, the U.S. later claimed, that Saddam Hussein had a huge stock of Weapons of
Mass Destraction, which was denied by the former Iraqi Leader.
In fact, the WMD haven't been found yet and a recent draft report from Wednesday on the search
for WMD provided no solid evidence that Iraq had any when the United States invaded in March.
This was also supported by former U.N. Inspector Hans Blix, who said this week, that Iraq
destroyed its weapons 10 years ago and that intelligence agencies were wrong in their weapons
assessment that led to war.
Meacher said, that the U.S. was "a prisoner of its energy dilemma".
They needed a reason to start this war.
Iraq remained for the U.S. a destabilising influence to... "the flow of oil to international markets from
the Middle East".
Submitted to Vice-President Cheney's energy task group, one report recommended that because
this was an unacceptable risk to the US, "military intervention" was necessary. |
