So there's a new PR broadcast out from the folks at al Qaeda.

"[Liberty as construed by America is based on] usurious banks, giant companies, misleading media outlets and the destruction of others for material gain."

OK, I'll buy that. However, after that it spins off into a bunch of anti-gay and anti-woman statements that might as well have been said by Bush himself. It's funny — the more a politician talks about “freedom”, the less inclined they are to accept someone else's notion of freedom.

There's a new 9/11 report that the Bush administration is trying to bury, and it's one of the most damning ones so far. In short, before September 11th, numerous agencies were aware of al Qaeda's plans, and not only ignored but actively blocked the information from being released.

Now, you may remember that prior to 9/11 a computer hacker named “Mike” Vreeland in Canadian prison who claims both to have worked for the Pentagon and to have hacked the Pentagon warned his Canadian jailers of the attacks, saying he'd discovered documents describing them in detail, along with the note “let one happen, stop the rest… we could use this“.

It's important to note that Vreeland is no angel. He's quite likely a con artist and appears to have an extensive record. However, the Canadian court system — and this is a matter of public record — has determined that the US government is actively altering his records and running a disinformation campaign. To me it's another piece of the puzzle that suggests that while the neo-con cult may not have actually caused the September 11th attacks, they did everything they did to ensure they would happen by taking out all the roadblocks and silencing anyone who warned they were imminent.

I suspect that they had no idea they'd be so successful or that they'd take down the towers.

You may remember Kitty Kelly's “tell all” book on the Bush family that came out late last year. This book alleges, among other things, that Bush Sr. is a pedophile, they're a bunch of Satanists and murders, and that the White House is used regularly by male prostitutes. Outlandish?

We've seen a number of high-end Republicans recently outed as gay and lose their careers over it (with strange Mossad tie-ins reminding me of the Vanunu seduction), but the “Jeff Gannon” story really pushes it over the top. For those of you who don't know it, “Jeff Gannon” (actually James Guckert) was granted White House press credentials under a fake name, and kept asking fluff questions of Bush like “how do you deal with Democrats who seem to have divorced themselves from reality?”

It gets more disturbing though. “Gannon” was also given copies of the Valerie Plame memo in which a CIA agent's identity was leaked to the press in order to punish her husband for speaking out against the administration, tying him to the top of the administration. And then it gets wackier — before being employed by GOPUSA (friends of Karl Rove) as a “journalist” to ask fake questions of the President, he was a gay prostitute working for sites like HotMilitaryStud, MilitaryEscorts, and Militaryescortsm4m).

Even without any conspiracy added, you've got a gay prostitute with top Republican neo-con ties, operating under an assumed identity accessing classified documents and having free reign of the White House, the whole time working with the sponsorship of the GOP.

Weird world.

I hope one day he flips like Vreeland did.

Not that anyone believed Vreeland.
