September 11 Commission Report - Gnostic Liberation Front

"Martin then said he was lying low.” [The Still Before the Storm, James Norman, Media Bypass
magazine, December 1995]
“The Manhattan D.A. who closed the American branch (of the BCCI) announced that 16 witnesses had
died in the course of investigating the bank's entanglements in covert operations of the CIA, arms
smuggling to Iraq, money laundering and child prostitution.” [The False Memory Hoax, Alex
Constantine, Copyright © January, 1996]
“There's a lot about BCCI that outsiders will never know. Once the investigations started, there were
seven fires in the fireproof London warehouses where BCCI stored records. In one of them, four
firemen were killed.” [BCCI: The Case that Kerry Cracked, Lucy Komisar]
“From October 30th to Christmas eve there were four attempts to kill, me and our friend William
Smith, who everyone thinks is a high ranking Naval Intelligence officer. During that same time over
fifty CIA operatives, their wives and families were killed in an attempt by the Robert Gates faction of
the CIA to cover its tracks before Clinton's team came to power. After the last attempt on my life, my
husband's SEAL team arranged safe passage for me to Vienna, Austria, where I stayed until Robert
Gates was removed as Director of the CIA.” [Correspondence from Rayelan Allan Russbacher,
February 1993, http://crashrecovery.org/wackenhut/wackenhut3.pdf]
“The witnesses were quite fearful about several recent "suicides, car wrecks--mysterious deaths-directly
related to the aviation experts" working on the systems that were installed on the A-3’s at Fort
Collins-Loveland--having breached the government-blocked information flow at great personal risk,
according to Schwarz--but providing more evidence for a New York 9/11 investigation.” [Missile &
remote control systems added to small jets before 9-11; same parts found at Pentagon, Tom Flocco,

As a result of these tactics, and others to be described later in this section, the conclusion
is well made by the BBC reporter, Greg Palast (a former US reporter who moved to the
UK to maintain his professional integrity and ability to report.)
“On my BBC television show, Newsnight, an American journalist confessed that, since the 9/11
attacks, US reporters are simply too afraid to ask the uncomfortable questions that could kill careers:
"It's an obscene comparison, but there was a time in South Africa when people would put flaming tires
around people's necks if they dissented. In some ways, the fear is that you will be necklaced here, you
will have a flaming tire of lack of patriotism put around your neck," Dan Rather said. Without his
makeup, Rather looked drawn, old and defeated in confessing that he too had given in. "It's that fear
that keeps journalists from asking the toughest of the tough questions and to continue to bore in on the
tough questions so often." [Greg Palast Interview by Bruce David, Hustler, On-line]
The same terror tactics are now being applied to foreign journalists as well:
“US was for the first time listed among the top 10 (ranking 6th in the world's leading jailers of
journalists), the Committee to Protect Journalists has said…. US detention centers in Iraq were holding
four journalists, while the US Naval Base at Guantanamo held one.” [US among top 10 nations jailing
scribes, Dharam Shourie,Rediff, December 14, 2005]
“American troops in Baghdad yesterday blasted their way into the home of an Iraqi journalist working
for the Guardian and Channel 4, firing bullets into the bedroom where he was sleeping with his wife
and children. Ali Fadhil, who two months ago won the Foreign Press Association young journalist of
the year award, was hooded and taken for questioning. He was released hours later. Dr Fadhil is
working with Guardian Films on an investigation for Channel 4’s Dispatches programme into claims
that tens of millions of dollars worth of Iraqi funds held by the Americans and British have been
misused or misappropriated. The troops told Dr Fadhil that they were looking for an Iraqi insurgent
