September 11 Commission Report - Gnostic Liberation Front

Japanese for a pipeline which would run from Lake Baikal to the port of Nakhodka, near Vladivostok
on the Sea of Japan. Oil is the Great Game and everyone is in on it. Russia and China have already
opened dialogue on security issues with India, and Japan will not remain in economic doldrums
forever. [U.S. political objectives in the Middle East will Fail, Creating a New Cold War with China
and Russia; Target is Iran not Iraq, Craig B Hulet, 7/9/2003]
The grander strategy however seemed to find a way to enrich the business partners, going
as far back as Iran-Contra, and resulted in a series of coincidences that suggests that the
Iran Contra group of businessmen could have been responsible for the attack on the
World Trade Center. The Secord/Armitage foray into Azerbaijan introduces some
relatively curious coincidences pertinent to the attack on the WTC.
Two of the reported hijackers were reported to be Uzbek; a number of other hijackers
traveled to, and fought in, Chechnya, Bosnia and Afghanistan. Secord, and his 1,000
Afghan Mujahedin fought along side of Chechen, Turkish and Israeli forces as well as
American mercenaries. The Afghan Mujahedin mercenaries hired by Secord are reported
to have also fought in other regions of the Caucuses: in Chechnya and Georgia and
Dagestan, and to have been a destabilizing force in the entire Caucuses region.
Additionally, Secord had twice traveled to Uzbekistan, and the CIA had recently set up a
sizable operation in the area:
“Only belatedly have major outlets like the Wall Street Journal (Oct. 2), The Associated Press (Oct. 5),
and the Washington Post (Oct. 5) begun to acknowledge, in stories placed well back in the paper, and
with much less emphasis, that the Northern Alliance – our allies against the Taliban – are now in real
control of the heroin trade. Smuggling routes have shifted from south through Pakistan northward
through Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan. They acknowledge the obvious – that the Taliban is
no longer the primary supplier of heroin. How could they be?...
In March 2001 FTW reported from Moscow that Uzbekistan was “awash” in a sea of poppies. Since
September 11 we have seen Uzbekistan not surprisingly become the hub for all U.S. military
operations going into Afghanistan. It was, in fact, the very first place that U.S. military and “special
operations” forces deployed – within days of the attacks. Unmentioned in press stories is the fact that
firms like Southern Air, Evergreen and other CIA proprietary or contract operations have been
establishing a presence in the Uzbek capital of Tashkent for more than a year.
…as we are hearing the first reports that the Uzbeki government, fighting its own battle against a
Muslim insurgency, will permit offensive operations from its military bases, FTW has had two reports
that CIA operative Richard Secord has recently traveled to Tashkent. Secord’s documented history of
involvement in heroin smuggling, from Vietnam, Laos and Thailand in the 1960’s and his criminal
involvement in illegal operations, including drug smuggling during the Iran-Contra years, tells us
exactly what is happening. These same intelligence sources have also reported that many other CIA
veterans of Iran-Contra and Vietnam – despite their age – are converging on Tashkent like bees to a
field of flowers – poppy flowers.” [Russia and Oil the Real Objectives With Heroin As A Weapon of
War, A Replay of CIA’s Vietnam-era Drug Dealing - FTW Revises Its Map On Economic Impacts, by

Another “Neocon” active in the region and supporting Muslim “terrorists” was Richard
Perle:
“Perle was also a major player in the Bosnia Defense Fund, which acted as a financial liaison to funnel
money between Muslim nations and the government of Bosnia. An adviser for the now-defunct Riggs
Bank, which handled the finances for the Bosnia Defense Fund and its accounts at the Bosnian Central
Bank in Sarajevo, claimed that Perle was not alarmed when he was told that some of the Bosnian
Defense Fund money was bleeding over into the hands of people connected with terrorism in Bosnia.
