Who T-F knows, Ustwo?
Every day, I feel like I know less than I knew the day before. We set our own boundaries as far as the limits of our beliefs and our considerations. If we do not confine our own curiousity and perspective, others, including many on this forum, are quick to challenge with "oh, you're not going THERE, are you?", or "shouldn't this be moved to PARANOIA?"
In a real way, the events of 9/11 and the reactions of the government officials, the populace, and the media, that has followed, in a sequence of events that is still playing out today, has been a catalyst in setting my belief systems "free", or at least loosening them to a degree that I can perceive.
What do you make of the following?

...............According to <A HREF="http://www.fortune.com/fortune/articles/0,15114,410237,00.html">Fortune magazine</A> (Jan. 22 2003), <see http://www.independent-media.tv/item...der%20Reported > "Kean appears to have a bizarre link to the very terror network he's investigating - al Qaeda … Kean is a director of petroleum giant Amerada Hess, which in 1998 formed a joint venture - known as Delta Hess - with Delta Oil, a Saudi Arabian company, to develop oil fields in Azerbaijan. One of Delta's backers is Khalid bin Mahfouz, a shadowy Saudi patriarch married to one of Osama bin Laden's sisters. Mahfouz, who is suspected of funding charities linked to al Qaeda, is even named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by families of Sept. 11 victims."
For the record, bin Mahfouz denies bin Laden is his brother-in-law and also denies ever having had ownership interest in Delta Oil. Interesting coincidence though that Hess severed ties with Delta just three weeks before Kean was appointed to the 911 Commission.
Another interesting coincidence: 28 pages of the inquiry’s final report, covering "specific sources of foreign support for some of the September 11 hijackers," were blanked out. According to an official quoted in The New Republic (Aug. 1 2003), see here. "There's a lot more in the 28 pages than money … We're talking about a coordinated network that reaches right from the hijackers to multiple places in the Saudi government."
Very murky indeed. And a third interesting coincidence surrounds the deadly anthrax-laced letters that hit the nation within weeks of 911. While "shocked" administration members were quick to blame Osama bin Laden and/or Saddam Hussein, they failed to mention one intriguing point: claims that Bush’s staff had started taking Cipro, an anthrax-treatment drug, weeks before the attacks occurred.
According to the public-interest group Judicial Watch: "In October 2001, press reports revealed that White House staff had been on a regimen of the powerful antibiotic Cipro since the September 11th terrorist attacks." Judicial Watch Chairman Larry Klayman notes, "One doesn’t simply start taking a powerful antibiotic for no good reason. The American people are entitled to know what the White House staffers knew."...................

....The insightful weblog at http://xymphora.blogspot.com had this comment about Moore falling for the "Blame the Saudis" campaign on October 20, 2003:
"The propaganda campaign has been so successful, the neocons even have Michael Moore parroting it. The main trick was to leave the Saudi matters out of the published 9-11 report, so people could think the worst of the Saudis, and then slyly make people believe that it was left out because Bush was protecting his Saudi business friends. A brilliant strategy! All of this propaganda works only because Americans are still afraid to admit who was really behind 9-11.
"A hint: the Saudis don't run NORAD."
A more recent "xymphora" comment (July 1):
"Moore knows that his American audience has a psychological need for a foreign villain to help deal with the guilt that America itself was primarily responsible for 9-11, and the connections of the Bush Crime Family to the Saudi elites allows him to have his villain and attack Bush at the same time. This would be completely harmless American jingoism except that I guarantee that if Bush gets reelected the neocons will be citing Moore's film and claiming that even the most liberal of all liberals supports their ultimate fantasy, the bombing of Mecca."..............
