the possible connection between shady Republican money-man Jack Abramoff and the 9/11 terrorists.

I knew about the Associated Press story (referenced in an earlier piece) which reported that Atta and company had hopped aboard a SunCruz casino ship on September 5, 2001. Abramoff owned SunCruz. He acquired the company under circumstances many consider strange — so strange as to have resulted in his recent indictment. So strange as to involve the murder of the former owner, Konstantinos “Gus” Boulis.

Just to kick the dust off this interview with SibelEdmonds:

That’s what I’m trying to convey without being too specific. And this money travels. And you start trying to go to the root of it and it’s getting into somebody’s political campaign, and somebody’s lobbying. And people don’t want to be traced back to this money.

“Today America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government.”
-Dr. Henry Kissinger, Evian-Les Bains, France 1991

Rove served notice that Obama and Clinton would be targeted over how they vote on any Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act legislation that comes before the Senate this year.

“Do they or do they not want our intelligence officials to be listening in on terrorists’ conversations in the Middle East who may … be plotting to hurt America?” Rove said.

He told the state officials that it would be their responsibility to find “creative and sustaining ways” to “talk about these contrasts.”

What creative ways might he be talking about?

Now I can only hope the harping and sniping on this blog would stop but I see by the latest post to paraphrase the Energizer Bunny..

It keeps on going and going and going……
