Wow! Bush=runnerboy for BakerBotts>defenders of Saudi terrorist financiers
Edited on Sat Feb-14-04 12:47 PM by 9215
and same lawfirm that defends Halliburton.

The Saudi Prince on the "Phantom flight" out of Florida the day after 9/11 is defended by Baker and Botts against 9/11 victims. This flight was given the greenlight by WhiteHouse. Baker and Botts also defends Halliburton and Dubya was a runner boy for Baker and Botts in the 60'

More on secret flight:
http://democrats.com/view.cfm?id=14289
.......Regarding the curious fact that the flight had taken place when all other air traffic was still grounded, Dan Grossi said "he was told that clearance for the flight had come from the White House after the Prince's family pulled a favor from former President Bush."
If so, this was no ordinary ex-Presidential favor. In debunking a Michael Moore-inspired Internet rumor about a secret flight of relatives of Osama Bin Laden, Snopes.com describes exactly how restricted the skies were that day: <http://www.snopes.com/rumors/flight.htm>
The Federal Aviation Administration ordered all flights in the United States grounded immediately following the terrorist attacks, and that ban stayed in effect until September 13. (Even then, for that first day commercial carriers were either completing the interrupted flights of September 11 or were repositioning empty aircraft in anticipation of the resumption of full service. New passenger flights did not resume until the 14th.) During that two-day period of full lock-down, only the military and specially FAA-authorized flights that delivered life-saving medical necessities were in the air. The enforcement of the empty skies directive was so stringent that even after the United Network for Organ Sharing sought and gained FAA clearance to use charter aircraft on September 12 to effect time-critical deliveries of organs for transplant, one of its flights carrying a human heart was forced to the ground in Bellingham, Washington, 80 miles short of its Seattle destination, by two Navy F/A-18 fighters. (The organ completed its journey after being transferred to a helicopter.)
After reading the Tampa Tribune article, I distinctly remember blinking and checking the URL to see if I had accidentally clicked on a link to one of those "publications" that spots Elvis, or reports that ninety year old women have just given birth to Bigfoot's baby. But no, this was indeed the Tampa Tribune.........

..........Now fast forward about a year and a half and imagine my surprise last week when I read a "Newsweek web exclusive <http://stacks.msnbc.com/news/901320.asp?cp1=1>" that reported that Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz - THE VERY SAME defense minister of Saudi Arabia - is being sued on the behalf of the victims of 9-11 for his alleged role in the financing of groups suspected to have links to the terrorist attacks of 9-11!
"Wow," I thought, "wasn't this the SAME Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz who had the kid on the Phantom flight?"
After further checking, I discovered that - yes, my friends - they are one and the same!
According to the Newsweek article, when three attorneys from the "prestigious Houston firm" that represents Sultan bin Abdul Aziz filed a motion in court in the Prince's defense, they also inadvertently provided evidence in the form of "stacks of affidavits and canceled checks" that indicated that the Prince had personally authorized the funneling of millions of dollars on the behalf of Saudi Arabian government to organizations that the US has identified and raided as terrorist front operations sympathetic to Osama Bin Laden.
But it gets worse...
The name of the "prestigious Houston Law firm" that is representing this suspected supporter of terrorism?
Why that would be none other than Baker Botts of Houston - as in JAMES Baker, as in THE James Baker: George Herbert Walker Bush's former Secretary of State and George W. Bush's counsel during the 2000 election recounts (you know, "Mr. the votes have been counted and recounted and counted again and even though we still lost we're taking the crown"?).........


Come forward still further and we find out that GW Bush was a runner boy for Baker Botts in the '60s.

and that Baker Botts also is defending Halliburton!!
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=1120910#



We then find out that Bush's AWOL buddy Jim Bath is the main business representative for the Bin Laden family in N. America during the 70's and that the Bin Laden family financed Bush's first business enterprise Arbusto.......

2. Calling all US Media - Red Alert
This is a story about moral treason, and perhaps legal treason.

This story needs to be put together and printed and broadcast -- just the facts, without malice or bias -- to every American. This is a key to open the BushCo dungeon.

As as some unknown DUer once said, "there is a vast roiling in the netherworlds."

Harry Potter where are you? Baker Botts on the loose.

3. I wonder when the Press will be ready for this stuff?
If the AWOL story is kept alive and expands then this may fly, but now I think it is still too hot for mainstream. For some reason the AWOL story has not addressed the issue of coke use, or Bath and Bin Laden. :shrug:

These guys sound like they are out of a bad Harry Potter book.

The sleaze runneth deep.

5. America: Let me spell it out for you real plain
The last sentence from 9215's orriginal post to start this thread:

"the Bin Laden family financed Bush's first business enterprise Arbusto..."

Hello America. Hello Media. Can this get any clearer. Please check these stories out and publish the results. Now. There is no time to waste. The Republic is in peril.

George Washington foresaw this while he was at Valley Forge. An Archangel appeared, he told his friends, and showed him in vision three great perils that would in time befall the Republic.

The way I read Washington's vision, this is the Third and most serious of the perils (Civil War and WW II being the first and second).

This peril -- what I might call the Octopus-BushCo-Trilateral WhangDang, for lack of any terms that can adequately describe the scope of the mess -- takes EVERYTHING that the people have to maintain liberty and democrary. That is what Washington said about his vision.

6. Here's a link to Washington's vision
No intent to hijack this thread -- but rather to emphasize it, because it is a key to so many things.

If anyone want's to discuss Washington's vision, I suggest starting another GD thread for it.

I print it here simply as background. I sincerely feel the Whole Flipping Enchilada Octopus BushCo Threat represents Washington's Third peril -- or something very near it.

OK, the link and the text:

http://www.btpholdings.com/gw.html

I don't know much about the site, and don't endorse it. But I have read Anthony Sherman's letter -- which gives the account of Washington's vision -- many times from other reputable sources.
