Once again, taken cumulatively with the other points, the picture painted suggests the protection of Osama and his possible<br />
operations. The family connection alludes to collusion. In fact, a former CIA anti-terror expert told the New Yorker<br />
Magazine that an allied intelligence agency documented seeing “two of Osama’s sisters apparently taking cash to an<br />
airport in Ahu Dhabi, where they are suspected of handing it to a members of bin Laden’s al Qaeda organization.” 1<br />
(3) With regard to the connections of the Bush Family and bin Laden Family:<br />
The connections of the Bush’s and bin Laden’s are best explored when considering the Saudi’s, the Saudi bin Ladin<br />
Group, The Carlyle Group, and GW Bush’s work with Jim Bath, who was at one point essentially the financial agent of the<br />
bin Laden family in the US.<br />
The Saudi Binladin Group (SBG), which is the family business of the bin Laden family, is a multinational company which<br />
operates multiple subsidiaries. It is also the largest construction company in the Middle East with contracts with the US<br />
Department of Defense.<br />
“If there were ever any company closely connected to the US and its presence in Saudi Arabia, it’s the Saudi Binladin<br />
Group.” says Charles Freeman, president of the Middle East Policy council. A Washington nonprofit concern that receives<br />
tens of thousands of dollar a year from the bin Laden family.” 2<br />
Then there is the Carlyle Group. The Carlyle Group is a holding company and investment institution with major ties to<br />
the US defense industry. On 9/11/01 there was, coincidentally, a Carlyle meeting occurring in Washington. On March 5th<br />
2001, weeks before GW Bush’s inauguration, the Lobby group “Judicial Watch”, knowing the ties of the Bushs’ to this<br />
profit based group with heavy government interconnection, issued a press release:<br />
“Judicial Watch... called on President George HW Bush to resign immediately from the Carlyle Group, a private investment<br />
firm, while his son...is in office. Today’s New York Times reported that the elder Bush is an ‘ambassador’ for the $12<br />
billion private investment firm and last year traveled to the Middle East on its behalf...James Baker, the former Secretary<br />
of State...is a partner in the firm. The firm also gave GW Bush help in the early 1990s when it placed him on one of its<br />
subsidiary’s board of directors.” 3<br />
Needless to say, the Bush Family has heavy ties to this firm. But then we have the bin Ladins there as well. On Sept 28th<br />
2001, the Wall Street Journal reported that: “George H. W. Bush, the father of President Bush, works for the bin Laden<br />
family business in Saudi Arabia through the Carlyle Group, an international consulting firm.” 4 There are also numerous<br />
press accounts of direct meetings with George H.W. Bush and the bin Ladins. The punchline here is simple: This is an investment<br />
group, with strong ties to the US Government; the Bush family and Bin Ladens - which deals largely in Defense<br />
related issues. Given the huge surge of defence contracts and military spending after 9/11, guess who was to gain a nice<br />
profit?<br />
Apart from this, it is also important to denote that George W. Bush’s ‘Arbusto Energy’ company was given $50,000 from<br />
the Texas investment banker James R Bath, who, again, was also the investment counselor for the bin Laden family at<br />
that time. This was well explored in the 1992 book, “The Mafia, the Cia and George Bush”. Jim Bath was a long time<br />
friend of G.W. Bush.<br />

(4) With regard to the validity of the famed “Bin Laden Confession Video”:<br />
Soon after 9/11, it was stated that a “white paper” would be released to prove Osama bin Laden’s guilt. However, this<br />
“White Paper” by the U.S. Government, documenting the case against bin Laden and the Al Qaeda organization concerning<br />
the September 11 attacks, publicly promised by Secretary of State Colin Powell, was never published. In 2006, Rex<br />
Tomb of the FBI’s public affairs unit said, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Osama bin Laden’s Most Wanted<br />
page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11”. 5<br />
However, then Minister Tony Blair did produce such a document, but it explicitly admits that its case would likely not be<br />
legally valid saying it “does not purport to provide a prosecutable case against Usama Bin Ladin in a court of law.” 6<br />
Likewise, in a Press Conference following 9/11 the Taliban offered to give up Osama if the United States simply provided<br />
proof that he was involved. The US Government did nothing, essentially refusing the offer. 7<br />
