Mister
President,
The
crimes of 11 September 2001 have never been judged in your country. I am
writing to you as a French citizen, the first person to denounce the
inconsistencies of the official version and to open the world to the debate and
the search for the real perpetrators.
In a
criminal court, as the jury, we have to determine whether the suspect presented
to us is guilty or not, and eventually, to decide what punishment he should
receive. When we suffered the events of 9/11, the Bush Junior administration
told us that the guilty party was Al-Qaïda, and the punishment they should
receive was the overthrow of those who had helped them – the Afghan Taliban,
then the Iraqi régime of Saddam Hussein.
However, there is a weight of
evidence which attests to the impossibility of this thesis. If we were members
of a jury, we would have to declare objectively that the Taliban and the régime
of Saddam Hussein were innocent of this crime. Of course, this alone would not
enable us to name the real culprits, and we would thus be frustrated. But we
could not conceive of condemning parties innocent of such a crime simply
because we have not known how, or not been able, to find the guilty parties.
We
all understood that certain senior personalities were lying when the Secretary
of State for Justice and Director of the FBI, Robert Mueller, revealed the
names of the 19 presumed hijackers, because we already had in front of us the
lists disclosed by the airline companies of all of the passengers embarked –
lists on which none of the suspects were mentioned.
From
there, we became suspicious of the « Continuity of Government », the instance
tasked with taking over from the elected authorities if they should be killed
during a nuclear confrontation. We advanced the hypothesis that these attacks
masked a coup d’état, in conformity with Edward Luttwak’s method of maintaining
the appearance of the Executive, but imposing a different policy.
In
the days following 9/11, the Bush administration made several decisions:
the creation of the Office of
Homeland Security and the vote for a voluminous anti-terrorist Code which had
been drawn up long beforehand, the USA Patriot Act. For affairs which the
administration itself qualifies as « terrorist », this text suspends the Bill
of Rights which was the glory of your country. It unbalances your institutions.
Two centuries later, it validates the triumph of the great landowners who wrote
the Constitution, and the defeat of the heroes of the War of Independence who
demanded that the Bill of Rights must be added. The Secretary for Defense,
Donald Rumsfeld, created the Office of Force Transformation, under the command
of Admiral Arthur Cebrowski, who immediately presented a programme, conceived a
long time earlier, planning for the control of access to the natural resources
of the countries of the South. He demanded the destruction of State and social
structures in the half of the world which was not yet globalised.
Simultaneously, the Director of the CIA launched the « Worldwide Attack Matrix
», a package of secret operations in 85 countries where Rumsfeld and Cebrowski
intended to destroy the State structures. Considering that only those countries
whose economies were globalised would remain stable, and that the others would
be destroyed, the men from 9/11 placed US armed forces in the service of
transnational financial interests. They betrayed your country and transformed
it into the armed wing of these predators.
For
the last 17 years, we have witnessed what is being given to your compatriots by
the government of the successors of those who drew up the Constitution and
opposed at that time – without success – the Bill of Rights. These rich men
have become the super-rich, while the middle class has been reduced by a fifth
and poverty has increased.
We
have also seen the implementation of the Rumsfeld-Cebrowski strategy – phoney «
civil wars » have devastated almost all of the Greater Middle East. Entire
cities have been wiped from the map, from Afghanistan to Libya, via Saudi
Arabia and Turkey, who were not themselves at war.
In
2001, only two US citizens denounced the incoherence of the Bush version, two
real estate promoters – the Democrat Jimmy Walter, who was forced into exile,
and yourself, who entered into politics and was elected President.
In
2011, we saw the commander of AfriCom relieved of his mission and replaced by
NATO for having refused to support Al-Qaïda in the liquidation of the Libyan
Arab Jamahiriya. Then we saw NATO’s LandCom organise Western support for
jihadists in general and Al-Qaïda in particular in their attempt to overthrow
the Syrian Arab Republic.
So the jihadists, who were
considered as « freedom fighters » against the Soviets, then as « terrorists »
after 9/11, once again became the allies of the deep state, which, in fact,
they have always been.
So, with an immense upsurge of hope, we
have watched your actions to suppress, one by one, all support for the
jihadists. It is with the same hope that we see today that you are talking with
your Russian counterpart in order to bring back life to the devastated Middle
East. And it is with equal anxiety that we see Robert Mueller, now a special
prosecutor, pursuing the destruction of your homeland by attacking your
position.
Mister President, not only are you and
your compatriots suffering from the diarchy which has sneaked into power in
your country since the coup d’état of 11 September 2001, but the whole world is
a victim.
Mister President, 9/11 is not ancient
history. It is the triumph of transnational interests which are crushing not
only your people, but all of humanity which aspires to freedom.
