THE IMMACULATE DECEPTION: The Bush Crime Family Exposed amazon.com "This is perhaps the most shocking book written this century about treason committed by the highest leaders within the U.S. Government. This disturbing and thought provoking expose, which few american know about, shows the truth about the drug running activities in behalf of the "secret" government". You will learn about the unsavory past of George Bush and his family, and well as the uncrupulous activities in which he has been involved." "Smoke a joint, harming no one, and you may spend years in jail, but betray your country, and get elected to high office! Bowen exposes the criminal history of the Bush family, from passing our military secrets to Nazi Germany during World War 2 to George Bush's clandestine deal with Iran to delay the return of American hostages until after the 1980 election. Like Hatfield's "Fortunate Son" and Ivins' "Shrub," this is a must read." ***************************************************** Howdy MSI, Re: Broder - He's just gotten a new assignment, he's moving to the City of Angles. A perk, and a boot out of the power circle at the WashPost at the same time. Broder is just doing a CYA to protect his plush retirement package. -R. **LA, where the saying goes: "If you ain't workin' an angle, you are the angle."

BUSH IN NORMANDY, BUT WHAT ARE THE LOCALS READING?? MSI, Those crazy Frenchmen! They'll believe almost anything! Two months after it first hit the shelves, a French book describing Sept. 11 as a US military plot is still a best seller. 11 Septembre 2001 : L'effroyable imposture de Thierry Meyssan amazon.fr "Ce livre présente une thèse sur le attentats du 11 septembre que de nombreux indices avaient déjà mis en lumière, notamment autour de l'appartenance des terroristes à des services secrets de pays amis des Etats-Unis. Il est à ce titre très intéressant. La démonstration quant aux doutes sur la version officielle des faits pour le Pentagone est assez convaincante, plus en tout cas que les différentes dénégations. Mais le tort de l'auteur est d'aller trop loin dans la reconstruction de la vérité supposée, alors que poser des questions était déjà énorme et aurait été plus percutant. Ce livre, donc, doit être lu, absolumment, mais comme une contribution à une recherche de la vérité encore en cours. Il permet déjà de douter de la version officielle, et d'ajouter une pierre à l'édifice de la mise en lumière des rapports troubles entre l'administration Bush et ses sponsors pétroliers et militaires déçus jusqu'au 11 septembre des promesses électorales non tenues par un candidat qu'ils avaient pourtant fait élire. Ce qui est certain, c'est que Ben Laden est plus un agent secret qu'un militant religieux, et qu'il a travaillé pour les Etats-Unis et leurs alliés. Cela pose des questions. Les réponses sont encore à affiner. " ****************************************************** French lap up Pentagon crash 'fraud' news.bbc.co.uk A book which argues that American Airlines flight 77 did not crash into the Pentagon on 11 September has become an immediate bestseller in France. Thierry Meyssan's book L'Effroyable Imposture (The Appalling Fraud) alleges the attack on the building, which houses the US defence department, was staged by none other than the American Government. "No plane crashed into the Pentagon," he said in a recent interview on France 2 television. "I believe the government is lying." Mr Meyssan's book alleges that eyewitness accounts of the crash are contradictory, photographs of the scene show no wreckage of an airliner and the damage to the building is inconsistent with an authentic air crash. A related website, Hunt the Boeing, contains photographic evidence to back up Mr Meyssan's claims. The site seems to favour the theory that "a booby-trapped truck caused the explosion" as the first reports, quickly denied by officials, had suggested. But it does not attempt to explain why the attack on the Pentagon might have been fabricated or how the 68 people who perished on flight 77 died. Brisk business A Pentagon spokesman, Glen Flood, described the book as "a slap in the face and real offence to the American people, particularly to the memory of victims of the attacks". But Mr Meyssan's provocative theories have proved irresistible to the French public. Meyssan invites readers to 'Spot the Boeing' "Copies have been flying off shelves," a saleswoman at Fnac bookshop in central Paris. "It's a phenomenon," said another. Reports say the book's original run of 20,000 copies sold out within two hours of going on sale. Fnac says its 2,500 copies sold in 10 days, compared with blockbuster novels which sell maybe 1,500 in a month. The book is currently the top of Amazon France's bestseller list and has made it to second place in the Livres Hebdo's list. 'Confidence trick' But French media reports have mocked Mr Meyssan - who is president of the respected left-leaning think tank Reseau Voltaire - and compared his book with the Roswell alien cover-up theory. The book has found thousands of readers in France Liberation slammed the book as "a tissue of wild allegations". "This phenomenon is not typical of the French," sociologist Pierre Lagrange told Liberation. "But the events of 11 September gave us a reality so similar to science fiction, that there has been more of a market for paranoid interpretations." News weekly Le Nouvel Observateur denounced the book as revisionism. "This theory suits everyone - there are no Islamic extremists... everyone is happy. It eliminates reality." But while Le Monde joined in the attacks on the Meyssan book, it admitted that the whole truth about the flight 77 incident was yet to come out. "There is no official account of the crash...the lack of information is feeding the rumour." ******************************************************* And, of course, the book is a big hit with the Arabs as well: memri.org ****************************************************** And now the Washington Post leads the front page with an article about official deception and mishandling of terrorist intelligence: washingtonpost.com ********************************************************* Dear President Bush, For the sake of the country, it is time for you to resign.
