Complete 911 Timeline

"As a former Justice Department prosecutor, John Loftus once held some of the highest security clearances in the world, with special access to NATO Cosmic, CIA codeword, and Top Secret Nuclear files. As a private attorney, he works without charge to help hundreds of intelligence agents obtain lawful permission to declassify and publish the hidden secrets of our times. He is the author of four history books, three of which have been made into films, two were international best sellers, and one was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize." John Loftus Website

Actually, Jimmy Carter's former NSA (Zbigniew Brzezinski) has been going around of late claiming that it was his policy that goaded the Soviets into Afghanistan so we could bog them down in their own Vietnam-like war. In fact, he did an interview for a French newspaper not long after 9/11 making these claims.

One of the biggest fallacies when people talk about the Reagan policies relative to support for the Afghan Mujahedin, the US alliance with Saddam or the destabilization of Iran...and their war with Iraq, is that they all had their roots in the Carter Administration under Brzezinski.

This guy developed something he called an "Arch of Crisis" which proposed using the more radical Islamists to fight Soviet intervention, while at the same time, supporting the more moderate Saddam in his efforts to destabilize the new radical regime in Iran. When liberals talk about blow-back, they conveniently ignore were the foundation was laid for these policies.

I had to refresh my memory because I lost some of these details. Brzezinski claims in his book that US intervention in Afghanistan began 6 months before the actual invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviets. In fact, he sites a directive that Carter signed to helped support the Mujahedin before the Soviet's even invaded.

While this is true, what Brzezinsi is deliberately ignoring was that our so-called intervention was no different (and actually much less) than what the Soviets had already been doing in Afghanistan since as early as 1971. While the Soviets may not have invaded Afghanistan until 1979, they were directly responsible for the Marxist government that took contol in 1978.

While my history's a little rusty, it was the Soviet-supported Marxists who murdered Daoud after he made attempts to break with Moscow and set up a more democratic state. When the dust finally settled in Afghanistan it was the Popular United Khalk party that took control, and thus the first Marxist government was established in Afghanistan....long before Brzezinski's claim of US intervention.
These people are all frauds trying to rewrite history.

"He is also suing Saudi Arabia for some 9/11 families and never misses a chance to blame everything but the rainfall on the Saudi's."

John Loftus wrote:"Some of our most famous American families, including the Bushes, made their fortunes from the Holocaust. Before I tell this awful story, I have to admit that I am a Democrat, but I quite like this President. He is not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he has a good heart, and the good sense not to follow in his father's footsteps. "W" has some good people around him who keep a firewall in the White House against his father's oil cronies. In terms of Republican politics, "W" is a rebel.

Morally, George W. Bush is the polar opposite of his grandfather and great grandfather (the "W" stands for Walker) who caused such havoc in the world with their Nazi investments. One cannot blame "W" for what his grandfather did, anymore than one can blame Jack Kennedy because his father bought Nazi stocks. What most people do not know is that Joseph Kennedy bought his Nazi stocks from Prescott Bush. Every great family has its scandal. The Bush family's scandal is that they funded Hitler and profited from the Holocaust."

Actually, he seems to be blaming everything on filty lucre or the tendency of wearing blinders in the pursuit of money and the inability to see (or perhaps not care) about the consequences thereof.

For example, Loftus postulates that after WWI, Harriman went into Russia while Prescott Bush went into Germany, both in order to buy up cheap and available industries. This eventually enabled Stalin and Hitler to gain control of their respective countries.

Whether or not Loftus is correct in his interpretations of history, he doesn't, at least to my mind, appear to be a nut case...and his experience and credentials are very impressive.
