September 11 Commission Report - Gnostic Liberation Front

The entire Iran-Contra affair fell apart and became public when the Nicaraguan
government shot down a U.S. plane carrying weapons to the Contra rebels, and captured
the U.S. pilot. The discovery of these shipments - a violation of U.S. law - initiated a
series of Congressional investigations and an investigation by an Independent Counsel.
The meetings held to prevent an October Surprise were never mentioned, and the two
pilots who flew Bush to Paris were immediately imprisoned and discredited when they
sought to testify in front of Congress. A court would later find the charges against the
pilots to be without support, but their testimony had been blocked.
“Gunther Russbacher.. claimed to have videotape proof and sixteen witnesses to his having
flown George Bush to one of the October Surprise meetings.” [The Death of my Friend and
Investigator of Government Corruption Paul Wilcher, Sarah McClendon, Sarah McClendon’s
Washington Report, July 4, 1993]
Ari Ben-Menashe a major Israeli coordinator of these deals, would also testify that he
had personally seen George HW Bush at the Paris meeting
“ In June, I also testified under oath, in closed session, before the Senate Foreign Relations
committee. I stated unequivocally that I had, seen Bush in Paris.” [Ari Ben-Menashe. Profits of
War, Inside the Secret U.S.-Israeli Arms Network, Sheridan Square Press, 1992, p344.]
According to Ari Ben-Menashe, a major Israeli coordinator of these deals, four of the
five supply chains set up to arm Iran were never investigated, and continued to
operate right through the Congressional Hearings on Iran Contra.
“…Tower knew perfectly well there was an ongoing arms channel. Yet the Tower Commission
made no mention of it. In February 1987, while Tower was investigating a minor part of the
sales to Iran, the Joint Israel-Iran Committee, together with Robert Gates, ran the biggest ever
arms supply operation to Iran. The official inquiry was better than any smokescreen we…could
have dreamed up.” [Ari Ben-Menashe. Profits of War, Inside the Secret U.S.-Israeli Arms
Network, Sheridan Square Press, 1992, p191.]
There were a few indictments and convictions as a result of the Iran-Contra affair, but
generally those involved were exonerated. Bush later pardoned the few lower level
government officials that were indicted and convicted. Dick Cheney was one of the
Congressional committee members that decided that no crimes had been committed, and
Bush was not involved.
Extensive reporting on this very successful operation to deceive the American public and
to implement a foreign policy which can only be defined as “Bush’s personal foreign
policy,” has provided some additional insights into additional aspects of the operation,
which only become meaningful when considered over a greater time period. Involved in
the background of Iran Contra and the October Surprise this report finds the same
individuals showing up in the activities surrounding the destruction of the World Trade
Center:
Gaith Pharon (very heavily involved in managing the Bush family investments) and
