Marvin Bush was the cofounder of Winston Partners in 1993, a company
that benefited greatly from the War on Terror. In 2000, Winston
Partners invested heavily in a defense contractor called AMSEC that
was 55% owned by Science Applications International Corporation
(SAIC). It has been noted that SAIC was not only a major contributor
to the NIST WTC report, it was also a company that had expertise
in nanothermites, explosive materials which were found in the WTC
dust as mentioned earlier.[24] Founded by a scientist from Los
Alamos National Laboratory, SAIC had a long history at the WTC,
having evaluated the basement levels of the buildings as a potential
terrorist target in 1986.[25] Interestingly, the company was hired
to investigate the 1993 bombing of the WTC, an event that was
remarkably like the one which they had foreseen in 1986.[26] In
fact, SAIC later boasted that -- After the 1993 World Trade Center
bombing, our blast analyses produced tangible results that helped
identify those responsible.[27] After 9/11, SAIC supplied the largest
contingent of non-governmental investigators to the WTC investigation
conducted NIST. At the same time, SAIC personnel were instrumental
in pressing the case that weapons of mass destruction existed in
Iraq under Saddam Hussein, and that war was the only way to get rid
of them.[28] SAIC was also a pioneer in the intelligence contracting
business, as a founding member of the Security Affairs Support
Association in 1979, along with companies like TRW, Booz Allen
Hamilton, Lockheed and Hughes Aircraft. A special taskforce of the
Defense Science Board, which was led in 1993 by BDMs Philip Odeen,
recommended a vast increase in the outsourcing of intelligence,
which all these companies ended up benefiting from greatly.
Today a majority of government intelligence work is outsourced, and
SAIC is known first and foremost as an intelligence contractor.
SAIC sells expertise about weapons, about homeland security, about
surveillance, about computer systems, about information dominance
and information warfare, and has been awarded more individual
government contracts than any other private company in America. In
fact, the company was paid huge sums to rebuild the NSA and FBI
systems that supposedly failed before 9/11.[29]

Carlyle, Kissinger, SAIC and Halliburton: A 9/11 Convergence
SAIC Tower III and Halliburton headquarters at the time of 9-11,
before headquarters were moved from Texas to Dubai.
Careful investigation leads one to notice that a number of intriguing
groups of people and organizations converged on the events of
September 11th, 2001.
An example is the group of men who were members of Cornell Universitys
Quill & Dagger society. This included Paul Wolfowitz, National
Security Advisors Sandy Berger and Stephen Hadley, Marsh & McLennan
executive Stephen Friedman, and the founder of Kroll Associates,
Jules Kroll. Another interconnected group of organizations is linked
to these Cornell comrades, and is even more interesting in terms
of its members being integral to the events of 9/11, and having
benefited from those events.
After the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center (WTC), a company
called Stratesec (or Securacom) was responsible for the overall
integration of the new security system designed by Kroll Associates.
Stratesec had a small board of directors that included retired Air
Force General James Abrahamson, Marvin Bush (the brother of George
W. Bush) and Wirt Walker III, a cousin of the Bush brothers. Other
directors included Charles Archer, former Assistant Director in
charge of the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services Division,
and Yousef Saud Al Sabah, a member of the Kuwaiti royal family.[1]
Yousef Saud Al Sabah was also chairman of the Kuwait-American
Corporation (KuwAm), which between 1993 and 1999 held a controlling
share of Stratesec.
The other owners of Stratesec were Walker and an entity controlled
by Walker and Al Sabah, called Special Situation Investment Holdings
(SSIH).[2] SSIH was said to form a group with KuwAm, and the group
owned several other companies, including Commander Aircraft and
Aviation General. In any case, the Kuwaiti royal family can be said
to have benefited from 9/11 due to The War on Terror that removed
Saddam Hussein from power. Of course, that was the second consecutive
US war that Kuwait benefited from, the first being the 1991 Gulf
War led by President George H.W. Bush.
Stratesec director James Abrahamson was President of Hughes Aircraft
from 1989 to 1992, when Prescott Bush Jr. was helping Hughes lobby
Bushs brother, the US President, to lift sanctions on the Chinese
government. Abrahamson became a director of Stratesec in December
1997.[3] He also co-founded a company called Crescent Investment
Management (Crescent) with the Pakistani-American, Mansoor Ijaz.
Crescents board of advisors included James Woolsey, the CIA Director
for President Clinton who became a PNAC signatory and Booz Allen
Hamilton executive.[4] Mansoor Ijaz is the CEO of Crescent, and is
a rare individual in that he claimed to have the ability to persuade
several governments to extradite Osama bin Laden. After meetings
with Clinton and his National Security Advisor Sandy Berger (who
first introduced Woolsey to Clinton), Ijaz said that he could not
convince them to work toward the extradition.[5] Additionally, Ijaz
introduced the journalist Daniel Pearl, by way of a personal letter,
to those in Pakistan who are believed to have been involved in his
death.[6] Ijaz went on to become a Fox News correspondent, and he
was a strong promoter of false claims leading up to the Iraq War,
including WMDs and ties between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda.[7]
Stratesec had contracts to provide security services for United
Airlines, and Dulles Airport, where American Airlines Flight 77
took off on 9/11. Another client was Los Alamos National Laboratory
(LANL), where scientists were working on the development of
nanothermite, a type of explosive material that has since been
discovered in the WTC dust.[8,9]
The Carlyle Group In 1998, Barry McDaniel came to Stratesec to
become its Chief Operating Officer. McDaniel was therefore in charge
of the security operation at the WTC in terms of what he called a
completion contract, to provide services up to the day the buildings
fell down.[10] McDaniel had previously worked for the United States
Army Materiel Command (AMC), located at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
But McDaniel came to Stratesec directly from BDM International,
where he had been Vice President for nine years. BDM was a major
subsidiary of The Carlyle Group for most of that time. When Barry
McDaniel started at BDM, the company began getting a large amount
of government business in an area the Navy called Black Projects,
or budgets that were kept secret.[11] BDM has had an interesting
history. In 1990 it was a subsidiary of Loral Corporation, a company
owned by Bernard Schwartz that was related to WTC security company
Ensec, and Ensec director Terry McAuliffe.[12] Loral sold BDM to
The Carlyle Group in 1992, at which time Frank Carlucci became
chairman of BDM. Carlucci was a covert operative in his early career,
and got his start in national politics through his old college
roommate, Donald Rumsfeld, becoming Rumsfelds assistant at the
Office of Economic Opportunity in 1969. Carlucci went on to be named
Deputy Director of the CIA and Ronald Reagans Secretary of Defense.
During his first few years at Carlyle, Carlucci asked his friend
Norman Augustine, later CEO of Lockheed Martin, if Carlyle could
be included in a deal to buy the defense contractor LTV Corp.[13]
That deal did not happen, but LTV was among the companies whose
stocks were flagged for insider trading related to 9/11.[14,15] The
FBI also briefly considered investigating Stratesec for insider
trading related to 9/11, due to an SEC referral of suspicious
accounts. But since the people involved were considered to not have
any ties to terrorism or other negative information, an investigation
into Stratesec was not pursued.[16] Putnam Investments, a subsidiary
of WTC impact zone tenant Marsh & McLennan, was one of Stratesecs
investors.
During the time that Stratesec executive McDaniel worked for them,
the Caryle Group began to add some very powerful people to their
leadership group. One such figure was James Baker, who went to
Princeton with Rumsfeld and Carlucci, and who was White House Chief
of Staff, and Secretary of the Treasury, for Reagan. Baker was also
George H.W. Bushs campaign manager and Secretary of State, and Bushs
White House Chief of Staff again in his last government position.
Baker became a partner at Carlyle just two weeks after the February
1993 bombing of the WTC.
Earlier in his career, Baker had worked in President Fords department
of Commerce, along with WTC impact zone tenant Joseph Kasputys. And
Baker was a longtime, close friend of Raymond Hill, an elite Texan
who owned the mafia and CIA-connected Mainland Savings. American
taxpayers shelled out approximately $500 million when Mainland
failed in 1986. Investigators have since discovered that Mainland,
like a number of other savings and loans that failed in the late
1980s, was a vehicle for CIA and mafia activities.[17] Baker is
also remembered as the one person most responsible for changing the
outcome of the 2000 presidential election, in favor of George W.
Bush. As Congressman John Conyers wrote: Mr. Baker will be forever
remembered for his ultimately successful efforts to shut down the
counting of votes in the 2000 Florida election.[18] On September
11, 2001, Baker was at the Ritz-Carlton in Washington DC, for the
annual investor conference of the Carlyle Group. Also present with
Baker was Carlucci, "representatives of the bin Laden family, and
George H. W.
Bush.[19] Carlyle had been doing business with the bin Laden family
since the early 1990s.
Bakers grandfather started the law firm Baker Botts, which had
offices in Saudi Arabia and which, after 9/11, represented the Saudi
Arabian government in a lawsuit filed by families of those killed
and injured in the attacks. The Saudi connection is interesting
considering that Carlyle owned, through BDM International, the
Vinnell Corporation, a mercenary operation that had extensive
contracts in the Middle East since 1975, training the Saudi Arabian
National Guard and also training Turkish security forces.
Vinnell was considered by some experts to be a CIA front.[20] Of
course Frank Carlucci was Deputy Director of the CIA, and George
H.W. Bush, who was Bakers boss for many years, was in the CIA for
a majority of his career.[21] Perhaps as a result, in 1995 Vinnell
was reported to be one of the first targets of al Qaeda, in Saudi
Arabia.
BDM, Vinnells parent company, was sold to TRW in 1997. Directors
at BDM at the time included Carlyle Group executives and a former
assistant to Henry Kissinger, Philip Odeen, who went on to become
the CEO of TRW. Directors at TRW at the same time included Robert
M. Gates, former Director of Central Intelligence and current
Secretary of Defense. Arden Bement, who was appointed by George W.
Bush to lead the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) one month after the 9/11 attacks, had left his position as
TRW Vice President in 1992, moving to Purdue University in the
interim.
In 1998, at the time that Barry McDaniel moved to Stratesec, TRW
merged with Lockheed Martin, the company that sub-contracted the
WTC security job to Ensec.[22] Stratesec and Ensec, along with E.J.
Electric and Electronic Systems Associates, worked to build the
security system that was in place at the WTC when the buildings
were destroyed. All four of these companies had done significant
work in Saudi Arabia before working at the WTC.[23] Marvin Bush was
a director of Stratesec from 1993 to 2000. It was during that time
that Kroll and Stratesec planned and executed the extensive rebuilding
of the security systems at the WTC complex. As his stint with
Stratesec ended, Marvin Bush became a principal in the company HCC
Insurance, one of the insurance carriers for the World Trade Center.
SAIC Marvin Bush was the cofounder of Winston Partners in 1993, a
company that benefited greatly from the War on Terror. In 2000,
Winston Partners invested heavily in a defense contractor called
AMSEC that was 55% owned by Science Applications International
Corporation (SAIC). It has been noted that SAIC was not only a major
contributor to the NIST WTC report, it was also a company that had
expertise in nanothermites, explosive materials which were found
in the WTC dust as mentioned earlier.[24] Founded by a scientist
from Los Alamos National Laboratory, SAIC had a long history at the
WTC, having evaluated the basement levels of the buildings as a
potential terrorist target in 1986.[25] Interestingly, the company
was hired to investigate the 1993 bombing of the WTC, an event that
was remarkably like the one which they had foreseen in 1986.[26]
In fact, SAIC later boasted that -- After the 1993 World Trade
Center bombing, our blast analyses produced tangible results that
helped identify those responsible.[27] After 9/11, SAIC supplied
the largest contingent of non-governmental investigators to the WTC
investigation conducted NIST. At the same time, SAIC personnel were
instrumental in pressing the case that weapons of mass destruction
existed in Iraq under Saddam Hussein, and that war was the only way
to get rid of them.[28] SAIC was also a pioneer in the intelligence
contracting business, as a founding member of the Security Affairs
Support Association in 1979, along with companies like TRW, Booz
Allen Hamilton, Lockheed and Hughes Aircraft. A special taskforce
of the Defense Science Board, which was led in 1993 by BDMs Philip
Odeen, recommended a vast increase in the outsourcing of intelligence,
which all these companies ended up benefiting from greatly.
Today a majority of government intelligence work is outsourced, and
SAIC is known first and foremost as an intelligence contractor.
SAIC sells expertise about weapons, about homeland security, about
surveillance, about computer systems, about information dominance
and information warfare, and has been awarded more individual
government contracts than any other private company in America. In
fact, the company was paid huge sums to rebuild the NSA and FBI
systems that supposedly failed before 9/11.[29] SAIC is integral
to the operations of all the major intelligence collection agencies,
particularly the National Security Agency (NSA), the National
Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the CIA. In fact, the CIA
relies on SAIC to spy in its own workforce.[30] But SAIC has also
played an integral role in the War on Terror, and was even responsible
for capturing Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. It was SAIC staff and technology
that tease[ed] out crucial clues about Mohammed's activities from
intercepted text messages that he sent to his al Qaeda operatives
using as many as 20 different cell phones.[31] In an interesting
coincidence, while the Carlyle/BDM subsidiary Vinnell Corp was
training the Saudi Arabian National Guard, SAIC was training the
Saudi Navy and bringing Saudi military personnel to company
headquarters in San Diego for further study. Simultaneously, Booz
Allen Hamilton was managing the Saudi Marine Corps and running the
Saudi Armed Forces Staff College.[32] Vinnell now works with SAIC
to train the Iraqi military.[33] SAIC employees or board members
have included Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, former Deputy
Director of CIA Bobby Ray Inman, former NYC OEM director Jerome
Hauer, anthrax attack suspect Stephen Hatfill, former CIA Director
John Deutch, and Lawrence B. Prior, a military intelligence officer
and former TRW executive. Also formerly with SAIC, during the time
of the planning and implementation of the 9/11 attacks, was Dick
Cheneys undersecretary of defense, Duane Andrews.
Duane Andrews considered Dick Cheney to be his personal, lifelong
hero.[34] While he worked for Cheney, Andrews supervised Stephen
Cambone, who went on to become Donald Rumsfelds special assistant.
When Andrews left the Pentagon in 1993, he became chief operating
officer for SAIC, where he supervised much of the company's work
on secret projects with defense and national security agencies.[35]
Andrews and Cambone both later hired on to the British intelligence
firm Qinetiq, along with George Tenet. Coincidentally, The Carlyle
Group was a major shareholder in Qinetiq as of February 2003.
Halliburton and BCCI When we examine who had the greatest motive
for the attacks of 9/11, we need to look at who most benefited from
those events. Certainly SAIC and other companies like Maurice
Greenbergs American International Group (AIG) are among those who
profited the most after 9/11. But The Carlyle Group and oil companies
like Halliburton led the field in terms of profiting from 9/11.
Dick Cheney was hired as CEO of Halliburton in 1995, despite having
no practical business leadership experience. He quickly went on to
add new directors that shared his political convictions, including
Lawrence Eagleburger, the former Secretary of State under the first
President George Bush. Eagleburger also served as a director of
Kissinger Associates, and on the board of Dresser Industries, where
George H.W. Bush got his start. Others Cheney added to his team
included Ray Hunt, of Dallas-based Hunt Oil, a longtime supporter
of the Bush clan.
Cheney named Charles DiBona as one of his first appointees to the
board of Halliburton. DiBona had been the Deputy Director of the
White House Policy Office and Special Assistant to President Nixon
in the early 1970s. DiBona was also an associate of WTC south tower
impact zone tenant Joseph Kasputys, at the Logistics Management
Institute, and DiBona and Kasputys had previously worked together
during the Arab Oil Embargo as representatives of the emerging US
Department of Energy (DOE). In fact, DiBona was one of the first
US Energy Czars.
Like DiBona, Joseph Kasputys was in the US Navy for 20 years, and
both of them retired as Commanders. They then both worked for the
predecessor agencies of the DOE, and Kasputys worked for the
Department of Defense as well. In 1975, Kasputys was appointed by
President Ford to be Assistant Secretary of Commerce. As stated in
the review of tenants in the towers, Kasptuys went on to run a large
corporation called Primark that had offices in both towers on 9/11.
One of the subsidiaries of Primark, The Analytical Sciences Corporation
(TASC), worked with so-called 'black' or top secret programs. TASC
also worked closely with the National Institute of Standards and
Technology.[36] After his government service, DiBona went on to
lead the American Petroleum Institute, the petroleum industry's
national trade association, in a position he held for nineteen
years. During that time, DiBona was also a director of First American
Bancshares, the American bank secretly owned by the Bank of Credit
and Commerce International (BCCI).
BCCI is significant relative to 9/11 because it was involved in
funding terrorists in the late 1980s and was linked to the Pakistani
intelligence network, from which several alleged 9/11 conspirators
came, including Khalid Sheik Mohammed. In fact, Time magazine
reported, relative to BCCI, that -- "You can't draw a line separating
the bank's black operatives and Pakistan's intelligence services."[37]
BCCI was also clearly connected to the mafia. Munther Bilbeisi, a
notorious BCCI representative who was finally indicted for tax fraud
in 1991, was associated with several mafia families in New Jersey,
including the DeCavalcante and Luchese crime families.[38] More
importantly, there were indications that the CIA was involved in
the founding of BCCI.[39] There were also connections between George
H. W. Bush, who was CIA director during BCCIs heyday, and George
W. Bush, through Harken Energy. But other US government representatives
helped BCCI too, simply by not doing anything or allowing BCCI to
make acquisitions in the US when they should have closed the operation
down. For example, at the time that BCCI was first publicly suspected
of wrongdoing, in 1988, both the US Department of Justice and the
Federal Reserve Bank (Fed) were hesitant to investigate or prosecute,
despite the fact that there were signs that both of these organizations
already knew of BCCIs fraud. When the Fed finally did take its first
disciplinary action, it appeared that BCCI had a friend at the top,
in that one member abstained from a critical vote. That member was
the chairman, Alan Greenspan. Greenspan later explained that he had
socialized with BCCI attorney and First American Bancshares President,
Robert Altman.[40] Kissinger and his associates Henry Kissinger and
his associates were also connected to BCCI in several ways, although
he refused to share documents with the related Senate investigation.
For example, Sergio Correa da Costa, who served as Brazils Ambassador
to the US in the mid-1980s (note that Ensec was a Brazilian company),
worked for Kissingers consulting company, Kissinger Associates, and
was also a nominee shareholder for BCCI. And as early as 1971,
Kissinger was linked to BCCI through the Pakistanis that arranged
for his first visit to China.[41] At the time, Pakistrani agents
who later became BCCI representatives were involved in fooling
journalists into thinking Kissinger was in Pakistan instead of
China. Kissinger returned to China many times and on occasion took
very close friends and business associates along with him, most
notably Maurice Greenberg of AIG, who traveled extensively with
Kissinger.[42] From 1985 to 1990, a client of Kissinger Associates,
Banca Nazionale del Lavoro (BNL) provided $4 billion in unreported
loans to Saddam Hussein and his government in Iraq. Henry Kissinger
was on the International Advisory Board of BNL during that same
time period. Kissinger and his leading assistants Brent Scowcroft
and Lawrence Eagleburger were investigated in this matter by the
House Banking Committee just as the first Gulf War was ending.[43]
But the numerous connections between assistants and associates of
Kissinger, and the most significant events of 9/11, are astounding.
To begin with, Kissinger, who is considered by some to be an
international terrorist due to his bombing of Cambodia, his role
in the 1973 coup in Chile, and other atrocities, was the Bush
Administrations first choice to lead the 9/11 Commission. Although
he later resigned from the Commission to avoid exposing his client
list, Kissingers closest friends and aides played significant roles
with regard to 9/11.
7 L. Paul Bremer, the managing director at Kissinger Associates
from 1989 to 2000, left there to take a job with WTC impact zone
tenant Marsh & McLennan, and then played a leading role in establishing
the official myth of 9/11.
7 Peter Rodman, PNAC member and Assistant Secretary of Defense on
9/11, hosted meetings with Pakistani ISI General Ahmed the week
before 9/11, and had previously been a Special Assistant to Kissinger
for eight years.[44] 7 Joseph Kasputys, south tower impact zone
tenant, worked with Kissinger in the Ford Administration (along
with Cheney, Greenspan, DiBona, and Rumsfeld).[45] 7 Kissinger is
also closely associated with several 9/11 Commissioners, including
his long-time National Security Council assistant John Lehman, and
his fellow Hollinger board member James R. Thompson.
7 And Phillip Odeen of BDM, who was Barry McDaniels boss until
McDaniel left to lead WTC security company Stratesec, was a Kissinger
assistant for several years.
There was also Renato Ruggiero of Kissinger Associates. Mr. Ruggiero
was present on 9/11 in the sense that he was on the International
Advisory Board for Salomon Smith Barney (SSB), the company that
occupied all but ten of the 47 floors in WTC building 7.[46] SSB
even shared the all-important 23rd floor with the New York City
OEM. More striking is the fact that Donald Rumsfeld was the chairman
of that SSB board, and Dick Cheney was a board member as well.
Rumsfeld served as chairman of the SSB International Advisory Board
since its inception in 1999, but had to resign in 2001 when he was
confirmed as George W. Bushs Secretary of Defense, and Cheney
resigned at the same time when he became Vice President.
Another interesting coincidence is that Global Crossing was brought
public in 1998 by SSB. Global Crossing was the company that Ensec
director McAuliffe made a fortune on, when he purchased $100,000
in stock before the company went public and cashed out several years
later for $18 million. Richard Perle was a lobbyist for Global
Crossing.
On 9/11/01, Salomon Smith Barneys parent company was Citigroup.
Citicorp was the nations largest bank in 1990, but dropped half of
its value from the summer to the winter of that year due to the S&L
scandal. The company was saved by Prince Alwaleed of Saudi Arabia,
who pumped an initial $590 MM into the company in a deal brokered
by The Carlyle Group. It is believed that the money, and more, came
from BCCI as it was dissolving.[47] Therefore, when Salomon Smith
Barney was taken over by Citigroup in 1998, it was taken over in
part by Saudi owners who were apparently redistributing the funding
and networks of BCCI. Rumsfeld and Cheney entered the picture less
than a year later, in May 1999. Jules Kroll, the founder of the WTC
security design firm, and Rudy Giuliani, who was a former Department
of Justice official, were responsible for investigating organized
crime and BCCI, and were well aware of the extent of those networks
ten years prior to that.
Others like them, who brought the late indictments against BCCI,
were leaders of the US Department of Justice.
Stratesec was at the WTC, and therefore, through Barry McDaniel and
the Bush family, the influence of The Carlyle Group was present as
well. In a sense, Rumsfeld and Cheney were also present at the WTC,
because both of them were on the advisory board of Salomon Smith
Barney. And SAIC was at the WTC on 9/11 too, as it was one of the
first companies to show up at Ground Zero on that day. That fact
will be discussed in the third installment of the essay series
entitled Demolition Access to the WTC.
As for Kissinger, within hours of the events of 9/11 he was writing
an opinion piece for the Washington Post. In it, he claimed to have
thorough knowledge of what would be required to pull off such a
coordinated set of attacks.
Kissinger went on to inform the American public of what must happen
next: the destruction of the system that is responsible.[48] No one
can argue with that sentiment. But to this day, no one can accurately
describe the terrorist system that was responsible for the 9/11
attacks, let alone destroy it.
What we can say today, with certainty, is that if we are to believe
that al Qaeda orchestrated the events of 9/11 then we do not know
much about al Qaeda.
Alternatively, there was a far more powerful and highly connected
system of intelligence and financial networks, represented by
organizations like Carlyle, Kissinger, SAIC and Halliburton, that
converged upon the events of 9/11. That other system continues to
profit from the 9/11 attacks, and uses the fear and rage generated
by al Qaeda-attributed terrorism to its own advantage. Understanding
and destroying terrorism might simply be a matter of understanding
and destroying the organizations that continue to profit from 9/11.
