9/11 Widow's
Bush Treason Suit Disappears From Media Reports ???

911 Widow's Bush
Treason Suit Vanishes By W. David Kubiak 12-5-3
"The decision 'not to do the story' appears to be multiplying all over
the nation." -- Fred Powledge, ACLU
"Whoever said 'no news is good news,' was BADLY misinformed." -- Dan
Rather
Think you're already amazed, alarmed or appalled enough by the state of
US journalism today? Chew on this a while and think again.
Grieving New Hampshire widow who lost her man on 9/11 refuses the
government's million dollar hush money payoff, studies the facts of the
day for nearly two years, and comes to believe the White House
"intentionally allowed 9/11 to happen" to launch a so-called "War on
Terrorism" for personal and political gain.
She retains a prominent lawyer, a former Deputy Attorney General of
Pennsylvania, who served with distinction under both Democrats and
Republicans and was once a strong candidate for the governor's seat.
The attorney files a 62-page complaint in federal district court
(including 40 pages of prima facie evidence) charging that "President
Bush and officials including, but not limited to Cheney, Rumsfeld,
Rice, Ashcroft and Tenet":
1.) had adequate foreknowledge of 911 yet failed to warn the county or
attempt to prevent it;
2.) have since been covering up the truth of that day;
3.) have therefore abetted the murder of plaintiff's husband and
violated the Constitution and multiple laws of the United States; and
4.) are thus being sued under the Civil RICO (Racketeering, Influence,
and Corrupt Organization) Act for malfeasant conspiracy, obstruction of
justice and wrongful death.
The suit text goes on to document the detailed forewarnings from
foreign governments and FBI agents; the unprecedented delinquency of
our air defense; the inexplicable half hour dawdle of our Commander in
Chief at a primary school after hearing the nation was under deadly
attack; the incessant invocation of national security and executive
privilege to suppress the facts; and the obstruction of all subsequent
efforts to investigate the disaster. It concludes that "compelling
evidence will be presented in this case through discovery, subpoena
power, and testimony [that] Defendants failed to act and prevent 9/11
knowing the attacks would lead to??| an 'International War on Terror'
which would benefit Defendants both financially and politically."
Press releases detailing these explosive allegations are sent out to
3000 journalists in the print and broadcast media, and a press
conference to announce the filing is held in front of Independence Hall
in Philadelphia on November 26th (commemorating the end of the first
futile year of the independent National 9/11 Commission).
Imagine the world-churning implications of these charges. Imagine the
furor if just one was proved true. Imagine the courage of this
bribe-shunning widow and an eminent attorney with his rep on the line.
Then imagine a press conference to which nobody came.
(Well, more precisely, imagine a press conference at which only FOX
News appears, tapes for 40 minutes, and never airs an inch.)
Now imagine the air time, column inches and talk show hysteria that
same night devoted to the legal hassles of Michael, Kobe, and Scott
Peterson, and divide that by the attention paid to our little case of
mass murder, war profiteering and treason. (OK, this is really a trick
question because no number divided by zero yields any answers
whatsoever, which evidently in this case is the result preferred.)
When you present documented charges of official treachery behind the
greatest national security disaster in modern history and the press
doesn't show, doesn't listen, doesn't write - just what in fact is
really being communicated? That despite all the deaths, lies, wars, and
bizarre official actions that flowed from 9/11 there's actually nothing
there to be investigated at all? That addressing desperate victim
families' still unanswered cries for truth is not a legitimate
journalistic concern? That news will now be what the corporate media
say it will be, so drink your infotainment Kool-Aid and kindly shut up?
(While the 9/11 blackout is the most flagrant sign of current media
dysfunction, it hardly stands alone. Where, for example, was our free
and fearless press when Pentagon powerbroker Richard Perle confessed to
a London audience last month that yes indeed, our war on Iraq was
illegal as hell? He calmly explained that "in this case international
law stood in the way of doing the right thing??| [it] would have
required us to leave Saddam Hussein alone, and this would have been
morally unacceptable."
(Guardian/UK, 11/20/03) And what news have we seen of the thousands of
Depleted Uranium deaths and birth defects now desolating Afghanis,
Iraqis and our own Gulf War troops? And whose looking into the $1.2
trillion the Pentagon admits is "missing" or the half trillion in
laundered funds now propping up our banks? And how many times have you
seen it reported that unbid Iraq contracts have pushed the worth of VP
Cheney's 433,333 Halliburton stock options to $26 million plus? But to
return to 9/11, the funny business has just begun. If you thought press
performance after JFK's death was a cynical farce, you ain't seen
nothing yet.)
A few years back Harold Evans of the London Sunday Times, observed that
the challenge facing American newspapers "is not to stay in business --
it is to stay in journalism.'' As corporations' authoritarian,
profit-driven consciousness comes to dominate both media and
governance, you can expect a lot more serial celebrity scandals and
even less news on the way things work or anything that really counts.
There is a clear method and message in this obscurantist madness. All
this media consolidation and tightening control is strategically
aligned with deregulation, privatization, social program-gutting
deficits and free trade regimes. They are all convergent tactics to
enforce corporations' full spectrum dominance over democratic
humankind. If your progressive or conservative instincts bid you to
arise against this coup, standing with our 9/11 widow is a good place
to start. Her name is Ellen Mariani, her lawyer is Phillip Berg and
their complaint is now online at
