Tenet's Resignation Substantiates 
Allegations Of Assassination Plot

 

4th June 2004

by Simon Aronowitz

 

George Tenet's resignation surprised many in the USA yesterday. According to the Guardian newspaper, even Dick Cheney, Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice were only informed yesterday morning in a meeting with President Bush. Readers of a little known website, however, knew last Tuesday 25th May that George Tenet's resignation was imminent.

The story publicly available at ThoughtCrimeNews.com advised readers that the resignation of Tenet, as well as those of Colin Powell and Richard Armitage, were inevitable. It further alleged, according to information provided, that the Bush Administration trio were to resign because their involvement in a plot to assassinate President Bush, and perhaps others, had been uncovered.

ThoughtCrimeNews understandably hedged somewhat with the story, leaving events to confirm the veracity of its sources' claims, not all of which have been published. Readers of the story from Tuesday will, however, have more of an idea of the true reasons for George Tenet's departure than the White House press corps.

Some observers are now privately predicting that Powell and Armitage will resign together next week. Should they both resign as predicted, many internet news-hounds will see the Bush administration shake-up very differently from the view taken by the mainstream media. Despite numerous allegations against Tenet regarding possible involvement in the 9/11 attacks, of covering up the real extent of Iraqi WMD and of having involvement in the `Abu Ghraib photographs', his explanation that he was going for personal reasons seems to be accepted at face value by the unquestioning mainstream media.

Tenet is quoted as saying ``It was a personal decision, and had only one basis in fact: the well being of my wonderful family, nothing more and nothing less.'' He did not resign over any of the failures or other black-ops over which he presided. No director of the CIA is an angel but Tenet in particular was at the helm whilst some of the America's darkest days have become chapters in its history books. Despite all of this, he plainly felt it unnecessary to answer for anything that happened on his watch.

Tenet's sudden desire to attend to the well being of his family may give rise to speculation that he was advised of the merits of resigning quietly, rather than fight a rear-guard action. Whilst the version of events presented here may seem preposterous to some, it should be noted that only 10 days ago it would have seemed far-fetched to many observers the suggestion that George Tenet would resign before the 2004 Presidential election at all. Yet yesterday he resigned earlier than anyone expected, citing his personal reasons.

Speculation has now shifted to who the replacements may be. James Woolsey is tipped to replace George Tenet at the CIA. One source told us "The smart money's on him. Woolsey would be a bi-partisan favourite, having first served as Director of the CIA under Bill Clinton." Other suggestions include John Bolton replacing Powell at the State Department.

The inevitable cycle and agenda of the news organisations will ensure that neither Tenet's activities at Langley nor his reason for leaving will be scrutinised. Once again, it would seem that the internet has managed to scoop the mainstream media. Unfortunately, those who only read the papers will never know.

 

 
Tenet, Powell and Armitage to go - EXCLUSIVE

25th May 2004 - Update

by Simon Aronowitz

 

Sources close to the Bush administration have informed ThoughtCrimeNews that CIA Director, George Tenet, Secretary of State, Colin Powell and Deputy Secretary of State, Richard Armitage, will be forced to resign their positions, possibly before the end of this week.

Whilst some would consider Tenet, Powell and Armitage to be team players in George W Bush's administration, our sources advise us that in fact these three have been caught out on something for which there can be no reconciliation.

As yet, the media are largely unaware of the recent events involving these three characters, namely a plot to assassinate President Bush and Vice-President Cheney as well as Speaker of the House, J Dennis Hastert and Senate President Pro Tempore, Ted Stevens. In the event that these four individuals were to be killed, the next in line to the US Presidency would be none other than the Secretary of State, currently Colin Powell.

Should these resignations take place, as we expect,  in the coming days, the pre-emptive publication of this story will serve to illustrate that our sources have provided us with sound information, not only of the impending departures but also the reason for them.

New video available to watch

Monday 17th May 2004
"As promised, I have posted a video for your enjoyment.

The roughly 9 minute segment features Jim Marrs, Mike Berger of the St Louis 9-11 Visibility Project, and me, Simon Aronowitz, Editor and webmaster of this website.

More clips will be coming, but I've decided that I can't be entirely generous and altruistic about allowing people to see all the video I have to offer.

I'd give it away if I could, but bandwidth costs money, and I'm hoping to be able to devote more time to video production, perhaps even drawing me away from my regular 9-5 pay-the-bills type work. 

So I've decided that I will gladly post lower quality clips for free access, but there will be a wider range of videos, and at a higher quality, available to subscribers. Yes, subscribers.

Well you pay for satellite television and newspapers don't you? This site gets a steady 400 hits a day. Surely there are some out there who are getting something from this site. If they're not at the moment, many of you will be able to when there is a wider range of material available. And I promise you, it IS coming.

Feel free to email me with your thoughts on this strategy. But I'd prefer to hear from people who are in favour of this. I won't be charging much for a subscription, it will be in the region of what Paul Joseph Watson and Alex Jones are charging at PrisonPlanet.tv.

Not to mention the fact that the trip to San Francisco cost a LOT of money, and I was one of only three people there from the UK, including Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed, and he was one of the speakers.

So to you guys in the UK who are looking to encourage and support a new, growing alternative medium, well here's your chance.

And now, the link to the video. Click here

Check back daily for updates. Subscription section coming soon. 

 

A further note on filming in London

The troubles I and my `camera crew' experienced whilst filming in London, being detained by the police to explain what we were doing, needn't have happened, according to the police.

Apparently, if we just tell them in advance of filming who we are, what we're filming and where we're going to be, then they won't bother us. I thought this was supposed to be a free country, but how can we be free if we have to account for out actions, in advance, to the police? Weren't the Communists like that? How different is the UK from the old USSR?"

No I Am Not Dead

Sunday 16th May 2004
"After a long absence, it's definitely time that this website was updated.

Do I have an excuse for having done nothing to it at all for more than two months? Probably not, but I've been trying to get my life in order, though some would argue it's still as dis-ordered as ever.

 

9/11 Conference in San Francisco

I attended the 9/11 Inquiry (Phase 1)  which was held in San Francisco on 26th - 28th March. I hadn't made mention of my intentions to go on this website, because I wanted to ensure that I would get into the US. IP logs for users accessing this website showed that it was being scrutinised by elements of the US Government and others, so I figured it wouldn't do to advertise the fact that I was going. I managed to slip in under the radar, so to speak. The only trouble I had on the way out at Heathrow was that the microphone for my digital camcorder looked odd on the X-ray machine, so they wanted to go through my hand luggage. Of course, the staff were very friendly about it.

Incidentally, the quality of airline food seems to have slipped further. For those without specific dietary requirements, the choice of meal was either beef stew or `bangers and mash', served in the requisite TV-dinner microwave plastic tub. I'm sure I remember a time when the food looked like a miniature version of something you might have got in a restaurant, complete with a proper plate and cutlery. Today we're not even trusted with a metal fork, in case someone gets the wrong idea about the pilot's aversion to someone waving cutlery at him.

There is much to report from the conference in San Francisco, and yet in a way, most of it is already out there. Some of you reading this website will be aware of the material which was discussed at the event, even without knowing who the speakers were.

Whilst the official hearings for the 9/11 Commission were taking place on the US east coast, discussing the issue of  possible fore-knowledge of the 9/11 attacks, our own Inquiry on the west coast was discussing evidence which exposed the lie that is the continuing 9/11 cover-up and official story.

For me, the conference was primarily a chance to network with others, to make contacts and get to know some other people involved in what might be called the `Underground Truth Movement', underground because there doesn't seem to be much mainstream coverage that would even make us look silly, never mind give us authority and credibility.

For example, Ted Gunderson, the former Senior Special Agent in Charge of the Los Angeles FBI Field Office attended the event and I was able to spend some time talking to him. Ted was one of the many individuals who have been trying to present information to the public about 9/11 and other nefarious activities, but have been ignored by the big media organisations.

Ellen Mariani and her lawyer, Phil Berg, also made highly respectable and moving arguments for a full investigation into 9/11.

Others who were present included

Daniel Hopsicker, author of `Barry and the Boys' and `Welcome to Terrorland: Mohammed Atta And The 9-11 Cover-Up In Florida'
Michael Ruppert
Kris Millegan, editor of `Fleshing Out Skull And Bones' Webster Tarpley, co-author of the Unauthorised Biography of George HW Bush
Eric Hufschmid, author of `Painful Questions' and producer of the video `Painful Deceptions'
Anthony Hilder
Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed, author of `The War on Freedom: How and Why America was Attacked' and `Behind The War Ib Terror: Western Secret Strategy and the Struggle for Iraq'
Jim Marrs, author of `The War On Freedom: The 9-11 Conspiracies', `Rule By Secrecy', `Alien Agenda', and `Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy'
Ralph Schoenman and Mya Shone

There were more people present, but I can't think of them for the moment. As Bush recently said at one of his press conferences, when asked an unscripted question, `maybe something will pop into my head'.

I got a lot of video footage from San Francisco and I'm trying to decide how best to use it. I'll post some excerpts on the website, an if I receive positive feedback from it I'll post some more clips. I have footage of the majority of the people listed above. If you have a particular preference, drop me an email.

Phase II of the Inquiry happens at the end of May in Toronto. Unfortunately my financial circumstances mean that I can't afford to go. Not unless some kind and rich benefactor wants to help me out. If you have a thousand bucks or so spare, and would like to throw it in my direction, please use the `Support Us' link at the top of the page.

  International Citizens' Inquiry Into 9/11

 

The Beheading of Nick Berg

This sickening episode has understandably been setting the news agenda for the past week. The video clip can be found here. Be warned that it is extremely graphic. More analysis of the Nick Berg affair can be found at PrisonPlanet.tv.

Of course, the news dominating the previous couple of week's headlines was the torture photos purporting to show American and British troops abusing and torturing Iraqi prisoners.

The pressure in the UK on the the Daily Mirror, in the face of growing accusations that the British photos were fakes, led Friday to the resignation of the Mirror's editor, Piers Morgan. In the US, however, it seems to be acknowledged that the `American' photos are genuine, but the Pentagon is saddling up to pin the whole affair on the CIA.

Both public news stories and other sources indicate that a show-trial is being set up in Baghdad for the very public court-martial of Lindy England and others. There would not be a media circus around the proceedings unless the Pentagon was sure that it would not have egg on its face as a result.

 

Film-making

Over the last couple of weeks, I've been out and about with a camera-man and sound man filming in London. We filmed the May Day rally, which was really nothing more than a Communist Party Rally, including a contingent from the Iranian Communist Party. Nice to know that the reds are still up to their old tricks. We also went to see who was around Grosvenor Square, outside the American Embassy. We weren't filming there for long when we were stopped and questioned by three armed police officers.

Last Saturday we were stopped and searched in Parliament Square, outside the Houses of Parliament. It seems that a 3-man film crew, who the police agreed was doing nothing wrong, warranted invasive police action, whereas 20 rollerbladers and skateboarders, causing an obstruction and criminal damage, warranted no intervention whatsoever. On this occasion, there were five members of the Metropolitan Police present - three proper officers and two Police Community Support Officers.  

However, on neither occasion could they provide any basis upon which I had to provide them with my genuine details, and stated that they have the authority to stop and question us under the Terrorism Act.

We also discovered that whilst tourists can film with their own camcorders in Trafalgar Square to their heart's content, a professional crew (or at least one that looks professional with a full size broadcast quality camera) must ask for permission from the Mayor's office because it has now been designated a `Heritage Site'.

Some of the footage from this activity will also be posted on this site in the coming days. Expect some regular updates as I try to bring the site back up to date. So much has happened over the last couple of months whilst this site has been neglected."

Kelly Pathologist Calls For Full Inquest 
As Doubts Grow Over Suicide Verdict

9th March 2004

 

"Channel 4 News tonight ran a very respectable 8 minute segment about the medical experts' doubts over Dr Kelly's apparent suicide.

What was surprising was that C4 reported that Nicholas Hunt, the pathologist who testified at the Hutton Inquiry, is now also calling for a full inquest.

`Kelly was Murdered' Says UK Intelligence Insider

 

by Simon Aronowitz
Editor - ThoughtCrimeNews.com

Monday 23rd February 2004

 


Dr David Kelly

Shocking new details about the death of Dr David Kelly emerged today exclusively on the Alex Jones radio show. Michael Shrimpton, a UK national security lawyer who was a guest on the show, revealed that sources within MI5 and MI6 are `furious' that Kelly was murdered.

Shrimpton spoke in depth about the details of Kelly's murder on 17th July 2003, information which has been withheld by the British press.

With apparent backing from the organisations whose members he claims to speak for, Shrimpton presented their view that Dr Kelly had been murdered by a team of assassins and the charade of an apparent suicide was then played out to cover this up.

Speaking with impeccable credentials, including contributions to the Journal for International Security Affairs and having previously given a closed-doors confidential briefing the US Senate Intelligence Committee, Shrimpton exploded the much-reported myth that Dr Kelly had taken his own life. 

He spoke of the probable method of Kelly's death, the group which most likely carried out the assassination, who arranged it and finally where the responsibility lies. Additionally, he explained the political context and motive for Kelly's murder.

David Kelly went missing on 17th July 2003 and was found dead on 18th July. In the previous days, Kelly had testified before Parliament's Foreign Affairs Select Committee that he was not the source of a BBC story which had accused the Government of making false claims about Iraq's WMD. When Kelly's body was found, the British press quickly reported it as a suicide, though several analysts had their doubts.

On Jones' show, Shrimpton explained how he had learned that David Kelly was the BBC's source before the BBC disclosed this fact. He went on to explain that his source from within the intelligence community knew David Kelly personally, and did not believe that he had committed suicide. After making their own enquiries, says Shrimpton, this source determined that Dr Kelly had not committed suicide, but rather had been assassinated.


Michael Shrimpton

Apparently at ease to discuss these explosive disclosures, Shrimpton explained that there was advance knowledge of Kelly's death in Whitehall, but that the deed itself was most likely carried out by the French external security organisation, DGSE. There was no indication that anybody in MI5 or MI6 had been involved. He went further by suggesting that the hit squad itself was composed of Iraqis from the former regime's Mukhabarat intelligence organisation, recruited from Damascus with the help of Syria's own intelligence apparatus. They were apparently then flown into Corsica, seven days prior to the murder. He doubts that any of the hit-squad are still alive.

Officially, Kelly's body was said to have been found in a copse, in a wood, but the forensic tents were set up in the adjacent field, suggesting, says  Shrimpton, that the body was found in the field. This has not been explained to his satisfaction.

The incision in Kelly's wrist was probably to conceal the injection of both Dextroprypoxythene, the active ingredient in Co-Proxamol, and Succinylcholine, a muscle relaxant, rather than as evidence of his bleeding to death, as highlighted by a group of six doctors in letters published in the British press. Shrimpton further agreed with the doctors by pointing out that Kelly only had one Co-Proxamol tablet in his body and that this was not sufficient to kill him.

According to Shrimpton, Kelly was murdered because he had been talking to the press and there was a fear of what else he might discuss with journalists. Furthermore, Kelly was due to return to Iraq and may have learned fresh information on that trip which Whitehall could not afford to trust him with. 

Shrimpton's appearance on Jones' show gave him the first public opportunity to bring forward his information, since the story has been effectively censored by the British Press, who according to Shrimpton are concerned about losing the pro-Euro Tony Blair as Prime Minister were they to publish details of Kelly's assassination. Blair's departure, he says, could threaten Britain's proposed adoption of the Euro as the national currency.

Whilst this story begins to circulate in the USA, the coverage in the UK may well remain nil, whilst maneuvering behind the scenes attempts to pre-empt Shrimpton's accusation of government-sanctioned murder of one of its own operatives.

Only with public support, and a belief that this information should be widely known, can this information be brought into the wide open and covered by the mainstream media.
