Summary of FTR#404—(Note: The massive
volume of “For The Record” programs about 9/11 and related topics are
summarized and analyzed in the periodically-updated description for FTR#391. It
is recommended that listeners use this description and e-mail it to others.
Also: The “meat” of the book “Martin Bormann: Nazi in Exile” has been digested
into an extended description for FTR#305. Listeners can now e-mail this
quintessentially important book to people around the world. In addition, the
professional history of the late Paul Manning, the book’s author, is presented
in the description “About Paul Manning.” This enables listeners to acquaint
others with Mr. Manning’s journalistic credentials. Understanding the Bormann
organization is essential to comprehending the concept of “the Underground
Reich.”) The title “Anglo-Saxonia vs. Germania”
derives from a concept first introduced in FTR#103 (recorded in early August of 1998) and developed at
length in FTR#394. Currently being
manifested in the Iraqi war, this geopolitical struggle is a continuation of
World War II, with an economic contest between the dollar and the euro at the
center of the struggle. Employing proxy war in the Middle East, “diplomacy as a
continuation of war by other means” and the economic theories of pan-German
theoretician Friedrich List, a Third Reich gone underground and its French and
Islamofascist allies are fighting against the US and UK. (For more about this
complex analysis, see—among other programs—FTR#’s 394-403.)
Program Highlights Include: Review of the “Battle of Menwith Hill” and reprise
of the initial For The Record discussion
of the EU/German attack on the Echelon network and the Menwith Hill listening
station; an alleged Pakistani terrorist money launderer’s connections to the
World Muslim Congress; the WMC’s fascist heritage under the Grand Mufti; the
indictment of Bush political ally Sami Al-Arian for terrorist support
activities; Al-Arian’s connections to Sheik Rahman (connected to the first
World Trade Center attack); the activities of Bush business associate Khalid
Bin Mahfouz in conjunction with Al Qaeda; the arrest of a key Al Qaeda
financier in Pakistan; the sudden reversal of field by the defense in the case
of the 3/20/2002 Operation Green Quest Raids; the connections of the 3/20 Green
Quest raids to the Sami Al-Arian case; Mohammed Atta’s German associates; the
German elite connections of Atta’s German friends; the two Florida flight
schools owned by the “Flying Dutchmen” at which the 9/11 pilots trained; the
resignation of a top White House counterterrorism official; Al Qaeda
negotiations with Saddam Hussein to act as a “back-up unit” to Saddam Hussein.
1.
The broadcast begins with (and takes its title from) an excerpt from FTR#103, recorded in early August of
1998, discussing the German/EU propaganda attack on the Menwith Hill listening station
and the associated Echelon network. In that prescient broadcast, Mr. Emory
characterized the story as “a blockbuster . . . for all intents and purposes an
act of war . . . a reforming of the battle lines of World War II . . . in
effect, “Anglo-Saxonia versus Germania.” (For more about this subject, see FTR#’s 331, 367, 394, 395.) (“EU
Simmers Over Menwith Listening Post” by Simon Davies; Electronic Telegraph; 7/16/1998.)
2.
Continuing to pursue Operation Green Quest—the ongoing intelligence
effort aimed at interdicting terrorist financing—federal agents arrested a
Pakistani national (connected to that country’s political elite). That
individual, in turn, was associated with the World Muslim Congress, an
organization with an “Islamofascist” heritage. “ . . . The most fascinating case involved
Shaheen Khalid Butt, a Pakistan native arrested late Thursday for laundering
money, selling fake immigration papers and skirting currency reporting laws
from the Manhattan Foreign Exchange, an unlicensed money transfer firm he ran
from the basement of the Kashmir Restaurant in midtown Manhattan. . .
.Pakistani press reported Butt has organized pro-separatist rallies outside the
United Nations as president of the Kashmir Center and is a longtime friend of
ousted Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. A 2001 United Nations conference
on ‘least-developed nations’ identified a man by that name as a U.S.
representative from the World Muslim Congress, a nongovernmental organization.”

Reviewing the history of the World Muslim Congress, the broadcast
details some of its fascist history. (For more about this history, see—among
other programs—FTR#’s 367, 369.) “Another favorite
IHR speaker and collaborator was Issah Nakleh of the World Muslim Congress
(WMC). Based in Pakistan, the WMC was initially headed by the Grand Mufti of
Jerusalem, who, like his friend H. Keith Thompson, stood by the Third Reich
until his death in 1974. A few years later, the WMC, then headed by Pakistani
Dr. Inamullah Kahn, mailed Holocaust-denial literature to every member of the
U.S. Congress and the British Parliament. The WMC’s official mouthpiece, Muslim
World, carried the ads for The Protocols of
the Elders of Zion and Henry Ford’s The
International Jew. Dr. Khan’s congress also published Freemasonry, a book warning that Jews were using lodge members to
extend secret control over religion and society—a paranoid theory that has long
been popular among Liberty Lobby supporters and neo-Nazi groups around the
world. Acknowledging their political kinship, WMC secretary-general Khan sent a
letter to the Spotlight praising its
‘superb in-depth analysis’ and stating that the paper deserved ‘the thanks of
all right-minded people.’ Dr. Khan also served as an advisor to the Saudi
Arabian royal family, which lavished funds on the WMC. In addition, the Saudi
Arabian government retained the services of American neo-nazi William Grimstead
as a Washington lobbyist. . .Soon, the World Muslim Congress began working
closely with U.S. intelligence and Pakistani military officials, who were
covertly supporting the Afghan mujahideen in their fight against the
Soviet-installed regime in Kabul. This effort was strongly endorsed by Dr.
Khan, who served for many years as the Pakistani representative of the
Nazi-infested World Anti-Communist League, which played an important role in
the Reagan administration’s ‘secret war’ in the Golden Crescent.”(The Beast Reawakens; Martin A. Lee;
Copyright 1997 [HC]; Little, Brown & Co.; ISBN 0-316-51959-6; pp. 225-226.)
4.
The length of time and the history of this organization are illustrated
by a quote from a book published in 1952.) “In February 1951 he [the Grand Mufti] suddenly reappeared
in Karachi, Pakistan to meet old friends who had supported his cause in Iraq
and to preside over a twelve-day World Moslem Congress. In a typical
inflammatory address, he called for a ‘full struggle’ by the Moslems ‘to meet
the aggressor’—meaning, in this instance, the non-Moslem Hindus of India. He
assured the delegates: ‘We shall meet next with sword in hand on the soil of
either Kashmir or Palestine.’”(Cairo
to Damascus; John Roy Carlson; Copyright 1951 by John Roy Carlson;
Published by Alfred A. Knopf, Inc.; ISBN 51-11068; p. 423.)
5.
An important member of the Saudi elite and part of the business milieu
to which George W. Bush (and his father) belong, Khalid Bin Mahfouz has been
linked to the funding of Al Qaeda. FTR#403
details Mr. Bin Mahfouz’s nuisance lawsuit against Jean-Charles Brisard,
co-author of a vital book about 9/11. (For more about Bin Mahfouz, seethe
programs referenced in FTR#391.) “A cache of al
Qaeda documents seized last year by U.S. agents in Bosnia identifies some of
Saudi Arabia’s richest and most influential families as among the first
financial supporters of Osama bin Laden, and shows how al Qaeda used charitable
arms of the Saudi government. An account of the roots of al Qaeda found on a
computer used by a suspected al Qaeda front group contains a 1988 memorandum
listing 20 Saudi financial backers of Mr. bin Laden—‘the Golden Chain,’ as the
bin Laden organization called it. The list includes the families of three
billionaire Saudi banking magnates, several top industrialists and at least one
former government minister.” (“Al Qaeda List Points to Saudi File”
by Glenn R. Simpson; The Wall Street
Journal; 3/18/2003; p. A7.)
6.
“The Golden
Chain list, which doesn’t indicate the size of the donations, was drawn up at a
time when supporting the Afghan revolt against Soviet invaders—Mr. bin Laden’s
cause at the time—was a top U.S. foreign-policy objective, as well as a Saudi
national cause with deep patriotic and religious overtones. The list doesn’t
show any continuing support for al Qaeda after the organization began targeting
Americans, but a number of the Saudis on it have been under scrutiny by U.S.
officials as to whether they have supported terrorism in recent years. . .” (Idem.)
7.
“ The Golden Chain list was confirmed by U.S.
officials and translated from Arabic by the Justice Department. It names
billionaire bankers Saleh Kamel and Khalid bin Mahfouz, as well as the Al-Rajhi
family, another banking family, and Mr. bin Laden’s own brothers. A number of the
Saudis on the list, including the bin Mahfouz, Al-Rajhi and Kamel families, are
among those under U.S. scrutiny. A bank controlled by the Al-Rajhi family is in
litigation in the United Kingdom against the publisher of The Wall Street Journal Europe, for an article that identified the
bank as being monitored by Saudi banking authorities. . .” (Idem.)
8.
“ . . . Al Qaeda
was founded in 1988, the year the list was compiled and about the time Mr. bin
Laden was in transition from being a U.S. ally to its sworn enemy. The al Qaeda
documents were obtained from federal prosecutors in Chicago by French terrorism
researcher Jean Charles Brisard, who persuaded the Bosnian Supreme Court to
demand them back from the U.S. Mr. Brisard is a consultant to trial lawyer
Ronald Motley, who is representing many victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks
in a civil suit against al Qaeda’s alleged financial supporters.” (Idem.)
9.
Next, the broadcast notes the connections of George W. Bush to Sami
Al-Arian, the focal point of a lawsuit by the heroic John Loftus. That lawsuit
directly precipitated the 3/20/2002 Operation Green Quest raids. (For more
about the Al-Arian lawsuit and the profound connections between the targets of
that suit, the GOP and the milieu of Al Qaeda/Al Taqwa/the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas,
see—among other programs—FTR#’s 353,
356, 357, 361, 367, 382, 400.) “ . . . Prosecutors in Tampa and Washington didn’t see the
combined evidence against Al-Arian from secret phone and facsimile wiretaps
until last November. That’s when a special appeals court gave the Justice
Department approval to use the Patriot Act to its fullest extent. A U.S.
official said Thursday that evidence gathered by intelligence and law
enforcement agents was shared in ‘dribs and drabs’ after Congress the law in
the fall of 2001. ‘But the spigot opened after the appeals court ruling,’ he
said. The result is the most richly detailed indictment yet in the domestic war
on terrorism, a possible harbinger of future cases against terrorists and their
bankrollers.” (“Professor Was Watched Throughout the 1990’s” by Toni
Locy; USA Today; p. 4A.)
10.
Among Al-Arian’s alleged associates is Sheik Rahman, connected to the
milieu of the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center and Al Qaeda. “ . . . The
indictment says Al-Arian also had connections to prominent terrorists,
including Omar Abdel-Rahman, ‘the Blind Sheik,’ who is serving a life sentence
for conspiring to blow up New York landmarks.” (Idem.)
11.
More about the Bush/Al-Arian association: “. . . Al Arian later told friends he even
used the occasion to press Bush on a key issue among Muslim Americans: the
Justice Department’s use of secret evidence to deport accused terrorists. In
those pre-9/11 days, Bush was eagerly courting the growing Muslim vote and more
than willing to listen to seemingly sincere activists like Al-Arian. When he
debated Al Gore later in the year, Bush even made a point of bringing up the
secret-evidence issue. Al-Arian was thrilled and began registering local
Muslims for the Republican Party and praising bush at local mosques. ‘I think I
personally played a big role in electing Bush, he boasted at a Muslim American
dinner last April . . . ’” (“Did a Muslim Professor Use Activism as
a Cloak for Terror?” by Michael Isikoff; Newsweek;
3/3/2003; p. 1; accessed at www.msnbc.com/news/876188.asp .)
12.
When Khalid Sheik Mohammed (alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks)
took place recently, the raids also netted a key Al Qaeda money man—a wealthy
Saudi. “ . . .
The authorities also arrested another man in the apartment, a 34-year-old Saudi
they couldn’t immediately identify. It wasn’t until the next day that they
discovered was Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi, another most-wanted Qaeda terrorist
believed to be one of the 9/11 plot’s key ‘paymasters.’ Officials tell Newsweek that Mohammed and al-Hawsawi
are both under intense interrogation, possibly at the U.S. air base in Baghram,
Afghanistan. If they talk, the men could provide answers to many key questions
about the September plot that investigators have yet to figure out: Whose idea
was it? Who issued the go-ahead? And who supplied the money to finance the
attacks? That last puzzle is especially important, since it could help
authorities unravel the all-important worldwide network of wealthy individuals,
charities and governments that enable Osama bin Laden to make his deadly
fantasies come true. (On Saturday, authorities scored another victory,
arresting Abu Jazir al-Jaziri, described by intelligence sources as an
‘important Al Qaeda figure’ who handled logistics.) Few people know more about
the cash end of the business than al-Hawsawi. . .” (“Al Qaeda’s
Money Man” by Mark Hosenball and Michael Isikoff; Newsweek; 3/24/2003; p. 38.)
13.
“ . . .The
account was flush with cash. Not long after al-Hawsawi opened it, someone made
a series of deposits totaling $102,000. (Intelligence sources say al-Hawsawi,
who comes from a well-off Saudi family, may have put up some of the money
himself.) Al-Hawsawi’s work wasn’t done. According to internal FBI reports
obtained by Newsweek, two weeks after al-Hawsawi opened the account, he—or
someone using his cell-phone number—wired $15,000 to Hamburg, Germany: The
person who went to collect the money was Ramzi bin al-Shibh, an alleged top
9/11 plotter who was captured last September. Within days, officials say, bin
al-Shibh wired $14,000 to Zacarias Moussaoui in the United States . . . And
wading through the cache of evidence found at the apartment has been slow and
difficult. But U.S. officials say they have classified evidence linking
al-Hawsawi to other terrorist plots.” (Idem.)
14.
Stemming from the Al-Arian indictment, the Operation Green Quest raids
of 3/20/2002 continue to have repercussions. A prominent Muslim scholar
discussed in FTR#398 was named as an
unindicted co-conspirator in terrorist-support activities. “Federal prosecutors in Virginia have
implicated a prominent U.S. Muslim religious scholar in possible involvement
with terrorism funding. In a filing late Friday with the U.S. District Court for
Eastern Virginia, prosecutors disclosed that one subject of their probe is also
an unindicted co-conspirator in a separate terrorism investigation in Florida
involving former University of South Florida professor Sami Al-Arian and his
associates. A federal grand jury in Tampa, Fla., recently handed up a 50-count
indictment that charges terrorism financing and racketeering against Mr. Arian
and seven associates accused of belonging to or supporting the terror group
Palestinian Islamic Jihad.” (“U.S. Links Scholar to Terror Funding”
by Glenn R. Simpson; The Wall Street
Journal; 3/17/2003; p. A4.)
15.
“The unindicted
co-conspirator isn’t named in the new filing, but the Arian indictment and
other records indicate the person is religious scholar Taha Alawani, a widely
respected religious leader I the U.S. Muslim community. Mr. Alawani was
recently featured in a page-one article in The
Wall Street Journal for his role in training Muslim chaplains serving in
the U.S. military and U.S. prisons, some of whom have been accused of spreading
anti-Western Islamic theology. Mr. Alawani’s home and offices were raided last
year by federal antiterrorism agents, but in a subsequent interview he strongly
denied any involvement in importing terrorism . . .” (Idem.)
16.
“ . . . The new
Justice Department filing proposes a partial unsealing of the search-warrant
affidavit at the behest of the news media. It states that the Arian probe in
Florida ‘was one of the investigations outside the Eastern District of Virginia
described in the search warrant affidavit which we sought to safeguard by
sealing the affidavit,’ U.S. attorney Paul McNulty told the court. Now that Mr.
Arian has been indicted, the secrecy is no longer necessary, Mr. McNulty said .
. .”
(Idem.)
17.
It is profoundly interesting
to note the sudden change that the defendants took in this case. Their counsel
has now asked that the original filing be sealed. Mr. Emory asks the question:
“Is this because of the arrest of al-Hawsawi in Pakistan? Did those raids
uncover something important that would incriminate the defendants? “The filing also discloses a major twist in the legal battle
over the search warrant. The subjects of the Northern Virginia probe, a group
of Muslim businessmen and political activists who constitute much of the cream
of the U.S. Muslim political establishment, long have sought to unseal the
affidavit. But last week they suddenly reversed themselves, and Ms. Luque asked
the Fourth Circuit to keep the document sealed in its entirety.” (Idem.)
18.
The NSC’s top counter-terrorist official has resigned after a few month
on the job. “The
top National Security Council official in the war on terror resigned this week
for what a NSC spokesman said were personal reasons, but intelligence sources
say the move reflects concern that the looming war with Iraq is hurting the
fight against terrorism. Rand Beers would not comment for this article, but he
and several sources close to him were emphatic that the resignation was not a
protest against an invasion of Iraq. But the same sources, and other current
and former intelligence officials described a broad consensus in the
anti-terrorism and intelligence community that an invasion of Iraq would divert
critical resources from the war on terror. Beers has served as the NSC’s senior
director for counter-terrorism only since August. White House said Wednesday
that he officially remains on the job and has yet to set a departure date.” (“Top
White house Anti-Terror Boss Resigns” by p. Mitchell Prothero; 3/19/2003;
(UPI); p. 1.; accessed at www.upi.com/view.cfm?storyID+2003319-040543-3049r
.)
19.
A critically important article detailing Mohammed Atta’s German
associates is featured on the website maintained by Daniel Hopsicker. Be sure to check out this and other
allegations researched by Mr. Hopsicker. “A
year-long MadCowMorningNews
investigation has uncovered evidence that at least seven of Mohamed Atta’s
closest associates in Florida during the year leading up to the 9/11 attack
were not Arab, but German. The names of the seven, all pilots, have not
surfaced in any press accounts of Atta’s stay in the U.S., nor has their
existence been mentioned or alluded to in official statements. Traveling with
Atta, or meeting him around the state, Atta’s German friends appeared to share
a relationship with him of long-standing, according to eyewitnesses, dating
back to his days in Hamburg. The meetings, in places like key West and Miami,
were apparently very serious business; when they returned, said someone who was
there, Atta and his German associates ‘always came back glum.’ Only one of the
seven is still in the U.S.; five live in Germany or Switzerland. The seventh,
with whom Atta reportedly traveled extensively, has a criminal record in
Germany, and today lives in Saudi Arabia. The identities of the seven German
nationals were pieced together from information gleaned in interviews with
Atta’s one-time American girlfriend, corroborated by independent aviation
sources in Venice and Naples, FL. . .” (“9/11: The German
Connection” by Daniel Hopsicker; p. 1; accessed at www.MadCowMorningNews.com
.)
20.
The article stresses the structural similarity of Atta’s German associates
with the background of Andreas Strassmeir, alleged mastermind of the Oklahoma
City bombing and associate of Timothy McVeigh. “ . . . Strassmeir’s father was once a top
aide to German Chancellor Helmut Kohl; Atta’s German friends are all children
of the German elite. But before delving further into Atta’s German connections,
there were two other related developments in Florida last week. In the first,
the former owner of the terror flight school in Venice, FL., Rudi Dekkers, was
arrested last week on a single count of felony fraud, and booked into the
Collier County jail in Naples, FL.” (Ibid.; p. 2.)
21.
Both of the men running the flying schools in Florida that trained the
hijackers were Dutch nationals. Might
this have some connection to the Thyssen-Bornemisza link to the Netherlands
described in FTR#370? “As the MadCowMorningNews has been reporting, suspicious and often illegal
activities were commonplace occurrences at Dekkers-owned flight schools at the
same time the schools were training a veritable ‘Who’s Who’ of Hamburg cadre
terrorists. Now the arrest of the controversial Dutch national comes amid
indications from authorities that Federal agencies involved in the 9/11
investigation are taking a closer look at Dekker’s business activities in Florida
during the past decade, fueling speculation he might become the first non-Arab
charged in a wider 9/11 conspiracy than has so-far been revealed. . . .Posing
for a new mug shot is the latest in a series of reversals suffered recently by
the Venice ‘Magic Dutch Boy,’ so-called because he is one of two Dutch
nationals who owned flight schools at the Venice Airport which each—by apparent
freak coincidence—ended up training terrorists to fly. . .” (Idem.)
22.
Is someone working to silence Dekkers and Kruithof? “ . . . Then, too
Dekker’s helicopter crashed recently, while he was en route to a showdown
meeting with partner Wally Hilliard over control of Huffman Aviation. In
another freak coincidence, owner of the second Dutch-owned flight school at the
Venice Airport, Arne Kruithof, also suffered a near-fatal aviation mishap last
summer when his plane fell from a hundred feet in the air onto the runway of
the Venice Airport. It appears as if both would be well-advised to stay away
from open windows.” (Ibid.; pp. 2-3.)
23.
“The German
element arrived in Florida with ‘Wolfgang’ in 1996. Prior to arriving in Naples
he was associated with an organization called ‘The Flying Club of Munich.’
‘Wolfgang showed up from Munich in the mid-1990’s and immediately began
operating a flight school illegally in ’96,’ stated an aviation source in
Naples. ‘He’s half Swiss, half German.’ Wolfgang was instrumental in bringing
another of Atta’s German associates to Florida, a pilot named ‘Stephan,’ who we
were to learn has done jail time in Germany, was on parole there when he came
to the U.S., and recently spent a year in Gundogdu, Turkey.” (Ibid.; p. 3.)
24.
“While regular
German flight students struggle to obtain the necessary visas, Wolfgang and Stephan
apparently had inside connections which smoothed their progress. ‘Sometimes it
makes me mad that a criminal gets preference,’ stated one German national
flight instructor in Naples with obvious bitterness. ‘Wolfgang signed off on
Stephan’s books, and Stephan also got in on a fraudulent business investor’s
visa.’ ‘Wolfgang was in his thirties,’ says Amanda Keller, who lived with Atta
during March and April of 2001. ‘He and Wolfgang were very tight, they went
everywhere together. When he came into the picture they were together all the
time. . .’” (Idem.)
25.
“Strangely,
Keller also states that Atta always spoke German with Wolfgang, a statement
contradicted by the testimony of Rudi Dekkers, who told a Congressional
Committee that when he addressed him in German, Atta had merely looked at him
strangely . . . Newsweek says its
sources say the unnamed country is Saudi Arabia. That may prove to be at least
partly correct; still, there are few, if any, Saudis named ‘Wolfgang.’ Newsweek should keep digging.” (Ibid.; pp. 3-4.)
26.
The broadcast closes with disturbing indications of Saddam Hussein’s
possible recruitment of Al Qaeda as a “backup unit” in the event of an American
invasion. Is this part of the
Underground Reich’s conspiracy against the United States? Are we walking into a
trap? “It appears, however, that this version is only
the publicly admissible one, the one that can pass political muster. According
to the same sources, there was another scenario more in keeping with the
calculating mentality of Saddam Hussein and his secret services. In 1998, after
declining all offers that had to them through official diplomatic channels,
those services are reported to have established a secret operational
‘connection’ with bin Laden in Manila and in Kashmir. It was indeed difficult
for Iraq to ignore an Arab like Osama bin Laden who ‘so effectively humiliated
the Americans.’ Colonel Khairallah al Takiriti, brother of the head of
Mukkhabarat, the intelligence services, is reported to have been named case
officer for the connection. The arrest of two Morroccan associates of bin Laden
in Rabat on November 11, 1998, made it possible to establish to establish the
link with certainty. According to Western sources, the Iraqi services have
sought to secure the assistance of bin Laden’s networks, in case Iraq were
again to be attacked by the United States, in order to carry out attacks
against American targets in Arab countries.” (In the Name of Osama Bin Laden; by
Roland Jacquard; Copyright 2002 [SC]; Duke University Press; ISBN
0-8223-2991-3; pp. 112-113.)
27.
“According to
Arab sources, in anticipation of a foreseeable reversal of alliances in Kabul,
bin Laden had been in discreet contact since September 2000 with associates of
Oudai Hussein, another of Saddam’s sons; the ground for agreement was the
anti-Israeli and anti-American battle. Bin Laden and the Iraqis are said to
have exchanged information about chemical and biological weapons, despite the
opposition of some of the Baghdad leadership, including Tarik Aziz.” (Ibid.;
p. 113.)
