Farewell George III

He is the second George Bush, but altogether this George is the third George to be POTUS.

On the eve of his stepping down, some observations on his parting comments of last Thursday:

George W. Bush Farewell Address to the Nation

His apology: "As the years passed, most Americans were able to return to life much as it had been before Nine Eleven, but I never did..."

It has been our best guess, contrary to the "9/11 is an inside job" howlers, that he was not consensual in this event, but extorted, as Webster Tarpley has suggested of the "Angel is next" message received at the White House soon after the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Quoting from approximately halfway down the page of his interview:

‘Angel is next.’ Implies the top-secret codename or codeword for the
Presidential aircraft, Air Force One. I go into intelligence agency reports,
now let me just make a parenthesis, (9/11 didn’t occur in a vacuum, it
occurs in a world in which there are others watching. Who’s watching?
Well, Russia’s watching, Israel’s watching very much, the French are
watching, there’s Germans, Japan…), what I found is 3 separate reports,
one is the Réseau Voltaire which is obviously benefiting from leaks from
French intelligence. The Réseau Voltaire version, which came out
September
20th (or) 25th, says that the ‘Angel is next.’ phone call
came complete with
top secret codeword, across a variety of agencies,
suggesting that the people
that were behind the attacks were a powerful
faction inside the US
intelligence community and government in general.

And that secondly, they had the nuclear launch codes in their possession.
This report goes on to say that the Bush team thought during most of the
day, that they were the target of a military coup. And it was only
somehow later in the day that the situation was recomposed. Now what
would it mean?

Essentially it means that the invisible government force behind 9/11 tells
Bush that he must respond by stating that its Bin Laden, Al Qaeda, the
Arabs, the Islamic world, and that what’s gonna happen is the invasion of
Afghanistan, and above all the beginning of the ‘war of civilizations’ that
Samuel Huntington writes about. An open-ended aggression of the United
States against the Arab and Islamic world.

The implication seems to be, in the Réseau Voltaire report, that if Bush
doesn’t do this, that this group is capable of starting that same war, using
not conventional forces but nuclear missiles. Simply ordering the launch of
missiles toward, well, Afghanistan perhaps, but maybe Baghdad, maybe
Damascus, maybe Tehran, maybe Cairo, maybe Islamabad, Rabat, Tunisia,
Kuala Lumpur, you name it. Any place in the Arab or Islamic world that
would then start the war of civilizations with a vengeance.

The Debka, Debka is an internet service that generally reflects the views
of the Israeli Mossad, and they are even more emphatic that this telephone
call came complete with multiple codeword indicating that the invisible
government force behind the attack which stretched through numerous
Federal agencies and executive departments. They knew a whole selection
of codeword that they seemed to have included with this phone call.

Finally there’s the Soviets, in this case Russia, it’s called Namakon, a very
shadowy group. You can’t just call them up. But they speak from time to
time, these are KGB old boys. And this appeared in the Russophile
newspaper Zaftra, it’s a group that’s seeking confrontation, they have
this nuclear launch capability, and they’re interested in nuclear
confrontation also with Russia. Because, if it ever had come to this,
in the middle of 9/11, if missiles had ever gone up, as soon as
missiles are launched, Russia and China and others, see it, and they
don’t know where those missiles are going. In the initial phase it’s
not clear what the target is, so it takes a while to figure out where
the missile is actually headed...

With high-level communications so effectively compromised, Bush had to scurry off to Barksdale AFB and to STRATCOM at Offutt AFB (command centers from which nuclear missiles are launched) in order to thwart, with his physical presence, any rouge commands that might arrive. But can we assume, as does Tarpley, that the group behind these messages is domestic? It is perhaps domestic but only to the extent that moles had infiltrated the US government. But why not consider any of the above cited intelligence sources: though we doubt that the French were behind 9/11, what about Namakon, or the Mossad and, it should be added, MI6? We cannot shake our suspicions that the British Israelite faction have never given up in their efforts to keep the U.S. "in the fold"... Particularly, for a President who's campaign promise had been not to engage the U.S. in "nation building" (i.e. enforcing other people's empires), a very emphatic point needed to be made.

Back to Bush's farewell, towards end of speech: "Our enemies are patient, and determined to strike again..."

"Enemies" is a broad and indiscriminate term. What is the referent? There follows a somewhat incongruent warning against isolationism (incongruent insofar as this usually comes in an economic context).

This warning is in stark contrast to the Final Address of George the First:

"'Tis our true policy to steer clear of permanent Alliances, with any portion of the foreign World."

A fair warning to heed whilst the Gaza siege continued with Israeli bombs supplied by the U.S. Indeed, as missiles struck the U.N. compound, this was the foreign context of George the Third's farewell...
