I stated my observation of the events. However, a Bush supporter, not! I 
hope they impeach the ass-hole for the lies that led to war. I mean this 
is not even in the same league with blow job lies. Interesting link in 
that the author much reflects my own profile. Of particular interest in 
the article was his perception of Bush, when told of the second plane. I 
saw terror and then avoidance in Bush's face. I ask myself, why he 
(Bush) would not stand up and leave to take care of business? I thought 
him to be in denial and lacking leadership. I was an unnatural reaction 
IMHO. As I recall, he dissapeared for hours.

This German does not buy 911 Bushit!

Former German Cabinet Minister Attacks
Official Brainwashing On September 11 Issue
Points at "Mad Dog" Zbig and Huntington
Source: Tagesspiegel, 13 Jan 2002

In a full-page interview with the Sunday edition (Jan. 13) of the Berlin
Tagesspiegel daily, former German Minister of Technology, Andreas von
Buelow, said he does not buy any of the official theories that have been
presented to date, on the events of September 11.

The apparent failure of the U.S. Administration including its 26 secret
agencies with an annual budget of $30 billion, to come up with any
convincing assessment, was one big problem that von Buelow addressed, in
quite some detail.

He then addressed the role of the official "brainwashing of the Western mass
democracies" on the Sept. 11 issue, in promoting the new enemy image of
"Islamic terrorism," along lines developed earlier, by senior advisors of
the U.S. Administration:

"I am not the origin of the idea of the enemy image. It originates with
Zbigniew Brzezinski and Samuel Huntington, two pioneers of American secret
intelligence and foreign policies.

"Already in the mid-1990s, Huntington opined that people in Europe and the
USA needed someone they could hate -- that would strengthen the
identification with their own society. And Brzezinski, that mad dog, already
at his time as advisor to President Jimmy Carter, campaigned for the sole
right of the USA to all the world's raw materials, especially crude oil and
natural gas."

Von Buelow also addressed the role of Brzezinski, personally, in setting up
the afghani operation of armed "Islamic" guerilla warfare against the USSR
Afghanistan invasion in and after 1979 -- the Taliban being generated by the
same operation, after all.

As for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks as such, von Buelow remarked:
"Planning the attacks was a master deed, in technical and organizational
terms. To hijack four big airliners within a few minutes and fly them into
targets within a single hour and doing so on complicated flight routes! That
is unthinkable, without backing from the secret apparatuses of state and
industry."

He added that laying false tracks of investigation has been an accompanying
feature of covert operations ever since they have been launched by
influential agencies, so that he is convinced that the full truth behind
Sept. 11 still has to be sought.

A partial translation follows.
Question:
You seem so angry, really upset.

Andreas Von Buelow:
I can explain what's bothering me: I see that after the horrifying attacks
of Sept. 11, all political public opinion is being forced into a direction
that I consider wrong.

Q:
What do you mean by that?

Von Buelow:
I wonder why many questions are not asked. Normally, with such a terrible
thing, various leads and tracks appear that are then commented on, by the
investigators, the media, the government: Is there something here or not?
Are the explanations plausible? This time, this is not the case at all. It
already began just hours after the attacks in New York and Washington and --

Q:
In those hours, there was horror, and grief.

Von Buelow:
Right, but actually it was astounding: There are 26 intelligence services
in the U.S.A. with a budget of $30 billion--

Q:
More than the German defense budget.

Von Buelow:
--which were not able to prevent the attacks. In fact, they didn't even
have an inkling they would happen. For 60 decisive minutes, the military and
intelligence agencies let the fighter planes stay on the ground, 48 hours
later, however, the FBI presented a list of suicide attackers. Within ten
days, it emerged that seven of them were still alive.

Q:
What, please?

Von Buelow:
Yes, yes. And why did the FBI chief take no position regarding
contradictions? Where the list came from, why it was false? If I were the
chief investigator (state attorney) in such a case, I would regularly go to
the public, and give information on which leads are valid and which not.

Q:
The U.S. government talked about an emergency situation after the attacks:
They said they were in a war. Is it not understandable that one does not
tell the enemy everything one knows about him?

Von Buelow:
Naturally. But a government which goes to war, must first establish who the
attacker, the enemy, is. It has a duty to provide evidence. According to its
own admission, it has not been able to present any evidence that would hold
up in court.

Q:
Some information on the perpetrators has been proven with documents. The
suspected leader, Mohammad Atta, left Portland for Boston on the morning of
Sept. 11, in order to board the plane that later hit the World Trade Center

Von Buelow:
If this Atta was the decisive man in the operation, it's really strange
that he took such a risk of taking a plane that would reach Boston such a
short time before the connecting flight. Had his flight been a few minutes
late, he would not have been in the plane that was hijacked. Why should a
sophisticated terrorist do this? One can, by the way, read on CNN (Internet)
that none of these names were on the official passenger lists. None of them
had gone through the check-in procedures. And why did none of the threatened
pilots give the agreed-upon code 7700 over the [Steuerknueppel: STEERING
NOB?] to the ground station? In addition: The black boxes which are fire and
shock proof, as well as the voice recordings, contain no valuable data--

Q:
That sounds like--

Von Buelow:
--like assailants who, in their preparations, leave tracks behind them like
a herd of stampeding elephants? They made payments with credit cards with
their own names; they reported to their flight instructors with their own
names. They left behind rented cars with flight manuals in Arabic for jumbo
jets. They took with them, on their suicide trip, wills and farewell
letters, which fall into the hands of the FBI, because they were stored in
the wrong place and wrongly addressed. Clues were left like behind like in a
child's game of hide-and-seek, which were to be followed!

There is also the theory of one British flight engineer:

According to this, the steering of the planes was perhaps taken out of the
pilots' hands, from outside.

The Americans had developed a method in the 1970s, whereby they could rescue
hijacked planes by intervening into the computer piloting [automatic pilot
system]. This theory says, this technique was abused in this case. That's a
theory....

Q:
Which sounds really adventurous, and was never considered.

Von Buelow:
You see! I do not accept this theory, but I find it worth considering. And
what about the obscure stock transactions? In the week prior to the attacks,
the amount of transactions in stocks in American Airlines, United Airlines,
and insurance companies, increased 1,200%. It was for a value of $15
billion. Some people must have known something. Who?

Q:
Why don't you speculate on who it might have been.

Von Buelow:
With the help of the horrifying attacks, the Western mass democracies were
subjected to brainwashing. The enemy image of anti-communism doesn't work
any more; it is to be replaced by peoples of Islamic belief. They are
accused of having given birth to suicidal terrorism.

Q:
Brainwashing? That's a tough term.

Von Buelow:
Yes? But the idea of the enemy image doesn't come from me. It comes from
Zbigniew Brzezinski and Samuel Huntington, two policy-makers of American
intelligence and foreign policy. Already in the middle of he 1990s,
Huntingon believed, people in Europe and the U.S. needed someone they could
hate-- this would strengthen their identification with their own society.
And Brzezinski, the mad dog, as adviser to President Jimmy Carter,
campaigned for the exclusive right of the U.S. to seize all the raw
materials of the world, especially oil and gas.

Q:
You mean, the events of Sept. 11--

Von Buelow:
--fit perfectly in the concept of the armaments industry, the intelligence
agencies, the whole military-industrial-academic complex. This is in fact
conspicuous. The huge raw materials reserves of the former Soviet Union are
now at their disposal, also the pipeline routes and--

Q:
Erich Follach described that at length in Spiegel: ``It's a matter of
military bases, drugs, oil and gas reserves.''

Von Buelow:
I can state: the planning of the attacks was technically and
organizationally a master achievement. To hijack four huge airplanes within
a few minutes and within one hour, to drive them into their targets, with
complicated flight maneuvers! This is unthinkable, without years-long
support from secret apparatuses of the state and industry.

Q:
You are a conspiracy theorist!

Von Buelow:
Yeah, yeah. That's the ridicule heaped [on those raising these questions]
by those who would prefer to follow the official, politically correct line.
Even investigative journalists are fed propaganda and disinformation. Anyone
who doubts that, doesn't have all his marbles! That is your accusation.

Q:
Your career actually speaks against the idea that you are not in your right
mind. You were already in the 1970s, state secretary in the Defense
Ministry; in 1993 you were the SPD [Social Democratic Party] speaker in the
Schalk-Golodkowski investigation committee--

Von Buelow:
And it all began there! Until that time, I did not have any great knowledge
of the work of intelligence agencies. And now we had to take note of a great
discrepancy: We shed light on the dealings of the Stasi and other East bloc
intelligence agencies in the field of economic criminality, but as soon as
we wanted to know something about the activities of the BND [German
intelligence] or the CIA, it was mercilessly blocked. No information, no
cooperation, nothing! That's when I was first taken aback.

Q:
Schalck-Golodkowski mediated, among other things, various business deals
abroad. When you looked at his case more closely--

Von Buelow:
We found, for example, a clue in Rostock, where Schalck organized his
weapons depot. Well, then we happened upon an affiliation of Schalck in
Panama, and then we happened upon Manuel Noriega, who was for many years
President, drug dealer, and money launderer, all in one, right? And this
Noriega was also on the payroll of the CIA, for $200,000 a year. These were
things that really made me curious.

Q:
You wrote a book on the dealings of the CIA and Co. In the meantime, you
have become an expert regarding the strange things related to intelligence
services' work.

Von Buelow:
``Strange things'' is the wrong term. What has gone on, and goes on, in the
name of intelligence services, are true crimes.

Q:
What would you say determines the work of intelligence services?

Von Buelow:
So that we don't have any misunderstandings: I find that it makes sense to
have intelligence services....

Q:
You don't think much of the earlier proposals by the Greens, who wanted to
dismantle these agencies?

Von Buelow:
No. It is right to take a look behind the scenes. Getting intelligence
about the intentions of an enemy, makes sense. It is important when one
tries to put oneself into the mind of the enemy. Whoever wants to understand
the CIA's methods, has to deal with its main tasks, covert operations: below
the level of war, and outside international law, foreign states are to be
influenced, by organizing insurrections, terrorist attacks, usually combined
with drugs and weapons trade, and money laundering. This is essentially very
simple: One arms violent people with weapons. Since, however, it must not
under any circumstances come out, that there is an intelligence agency
behind it, all traces are erased, with tremendous deployment of resources.

I have the impression that this kind of intelligence agency spends 90% of
its time this way: creating false leads. So that, if anyone suspects the
collaboration of the agencies, he is accused of the sickness of conspiracy
madness. The truth often comes out only years later. CIA chief Allen Dulles
once said: In case of doubt, I would even lie to the Congress!

Q:
The American journalist Seymour M. Hersh, wrote in the New Yorker, that
even some people in the CIA and government assumed, that certain leads had
been laid in order to confuse the investigators. Who, Herr von Buelow, would
have done this?

Von Buelow:
I don't know that either. How should I? I simply use my common sense, and--
See: The terrorists behaved in such a way to attract attention. And as
practicing Muslims, they were in a strip-tease bar, and, drunken, stuck
dollar bills into the panty of the dancer.

Q:
Things like that also happen.

Von Buelow:
It may be. As a lone fighter, I cannot prove anything, that's beyond my
capabilities. I have real difficulties, however, to imagine that all this
all sprung out of the mind of an evil man in his cave.

Q:
Mr. von Buelow, you yourself say that you are alone in your criticism.
Formerly, you were part of the political establishment, now you are an
outsider.

Von Buelow:
That is a problem sometimes, but one gets used to it. By the way, I know a
lot of people, including very influential ones, who agree with me, but only
in whispers, never publicly.

Q:
Do you still have contact with old SPD companions, such as Egon Bahr and
former Chancellor Helmut Schmidt?

Von Buelow:
There are no close contacts any more. I wanted to go to the last SPD party
congress, but I was sick.

Q:
Can it be, Mr. von Buelow, that you are a mouthpiece for typical
anti-Americanism?

Von Buelow:
Nonsense, this has absolutely nothing to do with anti-Americanism. I am a
great admirer of this great, open, free society, and always have been. I
studied in the U.S.

Q:
How did you get the idea that there could be a link between the attacks and
the American intelligence agencies?

Von Buelow:
Do you remember the first attack on the WorldTrade Center in 1993?

Q:
Six people were killed and over a thousand wounded, by a bomb explosion.

Von Buelow:
In the middle was the bombmaker, a former Egyptian officer. He had pulled
together some Muslims for the attack. They were snuck into the country by
the CIA, despite a State Department ban on their entry. At the same time,
the leader of the band was an FBI informant.

And he made a deal with the authorities: At the last minute, the dangerous
explosive material would be replaced by a harmless powder.

The FBI did not stick to the deal. The bomb exploded, so to speak, with the
knowledge of the FBI. The official story of the crime was quickly found: The
criminals were evil Muslims.

Q:
At the time Soviet soldiers marched into Afghanistan, you were in the
cabinet of Helmut Schmidt. What was it like?

Von Buelow:
The Americans pushed for trade sanctions, they demanded the boycott of the
Olympic games in Moscow....

Q:
... which the German government followed...

Von Buelow:
And today we know: It was the strategy of the American security adviser,
Zbigniew Brzezinski, to destabilize the Soviet Union from neighboring Muslim
countries They lured the Russians into Afghanistan, and then prepared for
them a hell on earth, their Vietnam. With decisive support of the U.S.
intelligence agencies, at least 30,000 Muslim fighters were trained in
Afghanistan and Pakistan, a bunch of good-for-nothings and fanatics who
were, and still are today, ready for anything.

And one of them is Osama bin Laden. I wrote years ago: ` `It was out of this
brood, that the Taliban grew up in Afghanistan, who had been brought up in
the Koran schools financed by American and Saudi funds, the Taliban who are
now terrorizing the country and destroying it

Q:
Even though you say, for the U.S. it was a matter of raw materials in the
region, the starting point for the U.S. aggression, was the terrorist attack
which cost thousands of human lives.

Von Buelow:
Completely true. One must always keep this gruesome act in mind.
Nonetheless, in the analysis of political processes, I am allowed to look
and see who has advantages and disadvantages, and what is coincidental. When
in doubt, it is always worthwhile to take a look at a map, where are raw
materials resources, and the routes to them? Then lay a map of civil wars
and conflicts on top of that --they coincide. The same is the case with the
third map: nodal points of the drug trade.

Where this all comes together, the American intelligence services are not
far away. By the way, the Bush family is linked to oil, gas, and weapons
trade, through the bin Laden family.

Q:
What do you think of the Bin Laden films?

Von Buelow:
When one is dealing with intelligence services, one can imagine
manipulations of the highest quality. Hollywood could provide these
techniques. I consider the videos inappropriate as evidence.

Q:
You believe the CIA is capable of anything, [wouldn't stop at anything].

Von Buelow:
The CIA, in the state interests of the U.S., does not have to abide by any
law in interventions abroad, is not bound by international law; only the
President gives orders.

And when funds are cut, peace is on the horizon, then a bomb explodes
somewhere. Thus it is proven, that you can't do without the intelligence
services; and that the critics are nuts, as Father Bush called them, Bush
who was once CIA head and President.

You have to see that the U.S. spends $30 billion on intelligence services,
and $13 billion on anti-drug work. And what comes out of it?

The chief of a special unit of the strategic anti-drug work declared, in
despair, after 30 years of service, that in every big, important drug case,
the CIA came in and took it out of my hands. (Rosalinda: Michael Levin)

Q:
Do you criticize the German government for its reaction after Sept. 11?

Von Buelow:
No. To assume that the government were independent in these questions,
would be naive.

Q:
Herr von Buelow, what will you do now?

Von Buelow:
Nothing. My task is concluded by saying, it could not have been that way
[according to the official story]. Search for the truth!
