Learning
from the September 11 Attacks
By Mark Weber

September 15, 2001
With thousands of victims and riveting images of death and destruction, war has come home to America with terrible, devastating suddenness. Together with our fellow citizens, we mourn the many victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon building. But beyond the feelings of grief and fury must come clarity and understanding.
President George W. Bush said on national television that "America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world." The next day he said that "freedom and democracy are under attack," and that the perpetrators had struck against "all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world."
But if "democracy" and "freedom-loving people" are the targets, why isn't anyone attacking Switzerland, Japan or Norway? Bush's claims are just as untrue as President Wilson's World War I declaration that the United States was fighting to "make the world safe for democracy," and President Roosevelt's World War II assurances that the US was fighting for "freedom" and "democracy."
In the wake of the September 11 attacks, speculation has been rife about who the perpetrators may have been. That itself is an acknowledgment that so many people hate this country so intensely that one cannot easily determine just who may have mounted these well-organized attacks of suicidal desperation.
These shocking attacks were predictable. In 1993 Islamic radicals set off a bomb at the World Trade Center that claimed six lives. In August 1998 the United States carried out missile attacks against Afghanistan and Sudan, strikes that senior Clinton administration officials said signaled the start of "a real war against terrorism." In the wake of those attacks, a high-ranking US intelligence official warned that "the prospect of retaliation against Americans is very, very high'." (The Washington Post, Aug. 21, 1998, p. A1)
Our political leaders and the American mass media promote the preposterous fiction that the September 11 attacks are entirely unprovoked and unrelated to United States actions. They want everyone to believe that the underlying hatred of America by so many around the world, especially in Arab and @!#$ countries, that motivated the perpetrators of the September 11 attacks is unrelated to this country's policies. It is clear, however, that those who carried out these devastating suicide attacks against centers of American financial and military might were enraged by this country's decades-long support for Israel and its policies of aggression, murderous repression, and brutal occupation against Arabs and Muslims, and/or American air strikes and economic warfare against Afghanistan, Sudan, Iraq and Iran.
America is the only country that claims the right to deploy troops and war planes in any corner of the globe in pursuit of what our political leaders call "vital national interests." George Washington and our country's other founders earnestly warned against such imperial arrogance, while far-sighted Americans such as Harry Elmer Barnes, Garet Garrett and Pat Buchanan voiced similar concerns in the 20th century.
For most Americans modern war has largely been an abstraction -- something that happens only in far-away lands. The victims of US air attack and bombardment in Vietnam, Lebanon, Sudan, Libya, Iraq and Serbia have seemed somehow unreal. Few ordinary Americans pay attention, because US military actions normally have little impact on their day-to-day lives.
Just as residents of Rome in the second century hardly noticed the battles fought by their troops on the outer edges of the Roman empire, residents of Seattle and Cleveland today barely concern themselves with the devastation wrought by American troops and war planes in, for example, Iraq.
Ramsey Clark, former US Attorney General, has accused the United States of committing "a crime against humanity" against the people of Iraq "that exceeds all others in its magnitude, cruelty and portent." Citing United Nations agency reports and his own on-site investigations, Clark charged in 1996 that the scarcity of food and medicine as a result of sanctions against Iraq imposed by the United States since 1990, and US bombings of the country, had caused the deaths of more than a million people, including more than half a million children.
Madeleine Albright, Secretary of State in President Clinton's administration, defended the mass killings. During a 1996 interview she was asked: "We have heard that half a million children have died [as a result of sanctions against Iraq]. I mean, that is more children than died in Hiroshima...Is the price worth it?" Albright replied: "...We think the price is worth it." ("60 Minutes," May 12, 1996).
President Bush is now pledging a "crusade," a "war against terrorism" and a "sustained campaign" to "eradicate the evil of terrorism."
But such calls sound hollow given the US government's own record of support for terrorism, for example during the Vietnam war. During the 1980s, the US supported "terrorists" in Afghanistan -- including Osama bin Laden, now the "prime suspect" in the September 11 attacks -- in their struggle to drive out the Soviet invaders.
American presidents have warmly welcomed to the White House Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir, two Israeli prime ministers with well-documented records as terrorists. President Bush himself has welcomed to Washington Israel's current prime minister, Ariel Sharon, whose forces have been carrying out assassinations of Palestinian leaders and murderous "retaliatory" strikes against Palestinians. Even an official Israeli commission found that Sharon bore some responsibility for the 1982 massacres of Palestinian civilians in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps.
Jewish and Zionist leaders, and their American servants, have predictably lost no time exploiting the September 11 attacks to further their own interests. Taking advantage of the current national mood of blind rage and revenge, they demand new US military action against Israel's many enemies.
In the weeks to come, therefore, we can expect the US government, supported by an enraged public, to lash out violently. The great danger is that an emotion-driven, reactive response will aggravate underlying tensions and encourage new acts of murderous violence.
What is needed now is not a vengeful "crusade," but coherent, reasoned policies based on sanity and justice.
In the months and years ahead, most Americans will doubtless continue to accept what their political leaders and the mass media tell them.
But the jolting impact of the September 11 attacks -- which have, for the first time, brought to our cities the terror and devastation of attacks from the sky -- will also encourage growing numbers of thoughtful Americans to see through the lies propagated by our nation's political and cultural elite, and its Zionist allies, to impose their will around the world. More and more people will understand that their government's overseas policies inevitably have consequences even here at home.
In 1948, as the Zionist state was being established in Palestine, US Secretary of State George C. Marshall, along with nearly every other high-level US foreign affairs specialist, warned that American support for Israel would have dire long-term consequences. Events have fully vindicated their concerns.
Over the long run, the September 11 attacks will encourage public awareness of our government's imperial role in the world, including a sobering reassessment of this country's perverse "special relationship" with the Jewish ethnostate. Along with that, rage will grow against those who have subordinated American interests, and basic justice and humanity, to Jewish-Zionist ambitions.
For more than 20 years the IHR has sought, through its educational work, to prevent precisely such horrors as the attacks in New York and Washington. In the years ahead, as we continue our mission of promoting greater public awareness of history and world affairs, and a greater sense of public responsibility for the policies that generated the rage behind the September 11 attacks, this work will be more important than ever.

Nous ne sommes pas
des Américains !
par Serge Thion
Depuis qu'on a inventé l'avion, notre époque sait que la mort et la destruction tombent du ciel. De toutes les armées qui ont combattu à travers le monde depuis un siècle, la plus frileuse, la plus dégonflée a toujours été celle des Etats-Unis d'Amérique. Elle s'est toujours entourée des plus formidables bombardements avant de risquer le prudent orteil sur le champ de bataille. Quel Européen ne se souviendrait de l'effrayante tactique dite du "tapis de bombes" qui déversait la mort aussi bien sur les "amis" que les "ennemis" grâce aux funèbres "forteresses volantes"? Quel Japonais pourrait avoir évacué le souvenir des bombardements incendiaires, oblitérant case par case une carte quadrillées du Grand Tokyo, par l'US Air Force, en 1945, prélude aux apocalypses d'Hiroshima et Nagasaki? Qui avait pu ignorer, en Asie, qu'un demi-million de soldats américains avaient besoin, vers 1968, pour avoir leur café chaud et leur bière fraiche, d'un rideau de bombes, jour et nuit, sur les collines napalmées du Viêt-Nam, un pays qui ne leur avait rien fait? Quel Cambodgien aurait perdu le souvenir de ces B-52 réduisant en bouillie un homme sur dix dans les villages ravagés? C'est l'apport des Américians à l'art millénaire de la guerre: le bombardement massif, qui rase tout, comme en Irak, comme en Serbie, comme... C'est sans doute cela que Bush et les autres appellent leur "civilisation". Nous l'appelons la sauvagerie des nantis. Rappelez-vous la Guerre du Golfe: 100% de bombardements, 0% de soldats sur le terrain. Malgré les armes sophistiquées, c'est encore le vieux B-52 qui fournissait le meilleur rapport qualité-prix pour le hamburger d'Irakien au sang. On pense à envoyer sur l'Afghanistan ceux qui roulent encore.
Le soldat américain, habitué à se vautrer devant sa télé, préfère le bombardement au combat, ce qui ne facilite pas sa vie le jour où le combat devient inévitable. On a vu avec quelle vitesse il courait se planquer lors de l'offensive du Têt 68 au Viêt-Nam. Des lapins au foie jaune.
Alors, il se trouve que, pour la première fois depuis 1812, l'Amérique, reine du monde, subit un petit bombardement. Inattendu, spectaculaire, principalement symbolique. Il vise le Pentagone (et il dédaigne la Maison blanche). Il écrabouille quelques galonnés, ceux qui, comme par hasard, ordonnent, du fond de leurs fauteuils (Planning and Logistics), les bombardement des autres! Les planqués assommés dans leur planque! On comprend que les bombardés aient dansé la carmagnole en apprenant cette bonne nouvelle.
La deuxième cible est l'horrible chose qui s'appelait tout simplement "centre du commerce mondial". C'est une partie de "Wall Street". Il se trouve que, quelques temps auparavant, l'opinion publique mondiale, beaucoup mieux représentée par la nébuleuse des ONG que par les gouvernements corrompus qui s'encanaillent à l'ONU, avait exprimé son exécration, d'abord à Seatlle, puis à Gênes et finalement à Durban, des ravages causés par la "mondialisation", selon les uns, ou la "globalisation" selon les autres. Elles signifient pour tout le monde chômage, apauvrissement, précarité, délocalisation et surexploitation.
Les gens qui travaillent dans le centre nerveux de cet enfer économique peuvent difficilement être considérés comme des "civils innocents". Ils sont les opérateurs et les régulateurs, aux plus hauts niveaux, de la plus inhumaine des activités qui consiste à extraire des êtres humains une quantité extensible de travail qu'ils transforment et chosifient en profits comptables. S'ils ne sont eux-mêmes que des travailleurs parcellaires au service de l'anonyme capital, ils sont comme les soldats de l'armée impériale, les suçeurs de sang des pays pauvres, et ils courent les mêmes risques. Tous les jours, ils écorchent des pauvres pour enrichir des riches. Basta!
Parmi les droit de l'homme, celui qui est le moins souvent invoqué, bien qu'il ait fourni la base théorique de la séparation des "Etats-Unis" du Royaume d'Angleterre, c'est le droit de résister à une oppression injuste. Le droit à l'insurrection devant l'abus commis par le pouvoir a été proclamé par les pères fondateurs de notre monde moderne, eux-mêmes insurgés. Il est la base juridique qui permet aux citoyens américains de posséder des armes.Par conséquent, ceux qui résistent et s'insurgent contre la domination globale, dans tous les domaines, des Etats-Unis, et contre la domination écrasante et destructrice du grand capital financier, concentré à Wall Street et protégé par le Pentagone, peuvent revêtir leurs actes insurrectionnels du manteau de la plus parfaite légitimité, tirée des droits réels de l'homme dominé, c'est-à-dire de l'homme réel.
Bien évidemment, ces actions violentes provoquent des morts. Nous déplorons ces morts et les souffrances infinies qu'elles provoquent chez les familles qu'elles frappent. Nous pleurerons les morts américains comme nous avons pleuré les morts coréens, massacrés par les bombes américaines; comme nous avons pleuré les millions de morts indochinois, déchiquetés par les bombes américaines; en se souvenant qu'elles continuent encore aujourd'hui à tuer les enfants: comme nous pleurons les morts de Panama, tués par les avions américains; comme nous pleurons les centaines de milliers de morts irakiens, tués par l'embargo et les bombardement anglo-américains; comme nous pleurons aussi les morts yougoslave, laminés par les avions otaniques, payés et dirigés par les futurs morts du Pentagone.
Mais cela ne donne aucunement le droit à des laquais de plume et à des politiciens en baisse de proclamer que "nous sommes tous des Américains". Ni les Kurdes, ni les Soudanais, ni les Lybiens, ni les Serbes, ni les Français, ni tous les autres, ne sont américains; ils ne se reconnaissent pas dans le lamentable cirque du jeu politique américain; ils ne monopolisent pas les ressources consommables de la planète. Il ne veulent pas dominer qui que ce soit ni, d'ailleurs, être dominés par qui que ce soit.
Cette honteuse affirmation démagogique s'inscrit dans une vague de récupération idéologique plus haute que les tours de Manhattan. L'usage soudain, éreintant, mordbide de la solidarité totale, convulsive avec nos maître américains, frappés dans les signes de l'empire, a été l'un des spectacles les plus répugnants de l'année. La compassion avec les victimes, oui, elle coule de source. Mais elle ne saurait s'étendre au pouvoir qui cherche à dominer le monde. L'Amérique a reçu la monnaie de sa pièce, toute petite monnaie pour une très grosse pièce. Cette punition tombée du ciel a été douce aux centaines de millions de victimes de cette Amérique inhumaine, mécanique, ordonnatrice de la terreur qui maintient en place ses protégés un peu partout.
On veut maintenant lancer la chasse aux "islamistes", terme que son aspect vague rend propice à tous les usage et qui remplace avantageusement les "communistes" d'antan.
L'Amérique avait pourtant nourri ces "islamistes" quand ils pouvaient affaiblir l'Union soviétqiue. Les USA vont maintenant se modeler sur la pratique israélienne en matière de tuerie. Sachant ce que l'on doit savoir, on doit souhaiter que les Américains envahissent l'Afghanistan. Ils pourraient y recevoir des leçons essentielles.
La fascisation du monde va faire un grand pas en avant, avec la bénédiction de l'Europe sociale-démocrate. Le gouvernement conservateur de Madrid a dit: "Nous ne participerons à aucune guerre". Pourquoi le nôtre ne pourrait-il pas dire la même chose?
A cet accroissement prévisible des oppressions les hommes libres répondront par une solidarité augmentée entre tous ceux qui se reconnaissent un devoir de résistance.

David Duke´s letter to the President of the United States
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please:
Tell Us the Whole Truth!
To George W. Bush
President of the United States
Dear Mr. President,
During your passionate and truly great speech before Congress, you told us of the need to protect America against terrorism. True. You also eloquently told us of the greatness and the courage exhibited by many Americans during the crisis faced on September 11. As a former elected official who has heard thousands of speeches, I must say that yours was perhaps one of the best speeches I have heard in my lifetime.
But, Mr. President, Sir, you also told Congress and the American people something quite inaccurate.
I quote:
"Americans are asking "Why do they hate us?"
"They hate what they see right here in this chamber: a democratically elected government. Their leaders are self-appointed. They hate our freedoms: our freedom of @!#$, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other."
With all do respect to you, Mr. President, that statement is completely false. The media has said repeatedly and incorrectly that this was an attack against freedom, and unfortunately you simply repeated that absurd idea in your speech.
The obvious truth is that those who attacked us couldn't care less about the kind of government we have. They did not attack us because they hate our democracy or our freedoms. They certainly did not attack Switzerland or Sweden or any other democracies in the world.
I pray that you will agree with me that the American people deserve the utmost honesty before we take the most serious and dangerous step that a nation can ever make: go to war.
The attack on September 11 was certainly not about people hating our freedoms. It was purely in response to America's foreign policy; and it was primarily about our monetary and military support of Israel.
As strange as it may sound to Americans, those who attack us do so because they view our nation's leaders in exactly the same way as we view them. They believe that you and all of America's recent leaders are the real terrorists.
If you want to know the true reasons why they attack America, you can easily read what they write about America. There are even many interviews with Bin Laden that make clear his motivations.
He and many others say that they must fight America for its support of 50 years of Israel's terrorism against the Palestinian and other Mideastern people. He says this in precisely the same way that some say we must bomb Afghanistan into further oblivion for supporting the terrorism of Bin Laden.
America is seen as a terrorist nation for having supported the Israeli ethnic cleansing of 700,000 Palestinians from their land and homes and the stripping them of their most basic human rights, even depriving them of the right to live where they were born!
America is accused of supporting terrorism for backing Israel, even America is aware that Israel tortures 500 to 600 Palestinians in its jails each month.
America is called terrorist for supporting Israel even as it killed 40,000 Lebanese in its invasion of that country. They ask the world how America could support Israel even as it bombed civilian Red Cross shelters and killed women and children by the score.
Millions of people ask how the President of the United States could dine in the White House with Israel Sharon, a man with a proven history of massacring civilians, and who even Israel held responsible for the cold-blooded murder of 2000 people at the Sabra and Shatila camps in Lebanon.
America is also called a terrorist state for causing the death of more than 500,000 Iraqi children.
It is difficult for us to act morally superior to our enemies when our own U.S. Secretary of State, Madeline Albright, told Leslie Stahl of CBS that America's causing the death of 500,000 Iraqi children was "worth it." What would you say, Mr. President, of someone who thinks it is worth killing 500,000 children in order to punish one man?
Of course, whatever the reasons for the attack on September 11, Americans must defend ourselves by whatever means necessary. No American should ever face such horrible terror as on that fateful black Tuesday. And, I salute your determination to defend us.
But, before we respond in an indiscriminate way and breed even more hatred against us, we must be honest about why we are hated and why we are being attacked.
Telling us that we were attacked simply because they hate our freedom -- keeps America from examining the real reasons why we are hated. It must be acknowledged that we cannot end the terrorism against us unless we first heal the hatred that spawns it.
Of course, the Israel Firsters who control America's media don't want us to discuss the dire consequences of our monetary and military actions for Israel. They don't want us to even discuss the relationship between Israel and the events of September 11. Some are even telling the big lie that the attacks had nothing to do with our support of Israel. It is strange that Europe and the whole world recognize this obvious fact, but the American people do not.
We must access the anti-American consequences of our Mideast Policy. It is vital to our own national security.
As President, you must carefully reconsider our foreign involvement and policies over the last 50 years. You must determine if it is truly in the best interest of the American people to be involved in all these foreign wars and conflicts.
As President you were sworn to defend the United States, not Israel or any other foreign nation. I beseech you to exclusively put first the interests of the American people. We cannot afford to be manipulated by powerful lobbies who owe their allegiance to Israel over that of America.
You must also certainly recognize that the agenda of the Jewish-dominated news media can seriously conflict with the interests of the American people. I pray that you as our President will single-mindedly put the interests of the American people first, last and always.
The tragic events of September 11 did not happen because people hate America's freedom. Unless we examine the root causes of the growing hatred against our country, we shall be doomed to suffer more terrible days like September 11. Let us not be drawn into the hatreds and blood feuds of foreign nations.
May God keep and protect you Mr. President. And may he also give America and all the American people his shining protection.
You have in your hands the most powerful sword on earth. At this critical moment in American history may God grant you the wisdom to use its power to heal rather than to inflame an even greater cycle of hate and violence against the American people.
In whatever course of action you take, I urge you to defy the power of the Zionist lobby which serves the interests of a foreign nation, and put first the safety and interests of the American people.
In Your Service, and for America!

Duke to Bush:

"halt funding for Israel":
"We must cut off
the source of terrorism"
[USA, New Orleans, Louisiana, Sept 13, 2001]. The European-American Rights Unity and Rights Organization (EURO)* National President, David Duke, is calling on President Bush to immediately halt all aid to Israel after a series of terrorist attacks hit New York City and the Pentagon saying: "Israeli atrocities against Palestinians are being paid for in American blood."
David Duke said:
"We send out our prayers of sympathy and support to the victims of Tuesday's terrorist attacks and call on President Bush to bring those responsible to justice. These terrible acts of terrorism must be fought with every ounce of American resolve. And those who commit such heinous acts must be punished to the fullest extent of the law. No such act must ever be permitted on American soil."
"We must cut off the source of terrorism. That source is not @!#$ fundamentalism, it is American support for Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people. The American government has been supporting the Jewish Supremacist State of Israeli with economic and military funding, though Israel denies the basic human rights of Palestinians. We believe that our economic and military aid to Israel has caused tremendous hatred toward America and that unlimitedly, it is the American people who suffers the consequences."
"We are calling on Congress and the President to immediately cut off all aid, economic and military, to Israel."
