Mike Ruppert tells Commonwealth Club Cheney "prime suspect"

[Minstrel Boy]

Ruppert addressed the prestigous Commonwealth Club of San Francisco on Aug 31, making the broad case for Washington's complicity in 9/11 as he introduced the argument of his forthcoming, and massively documented, book, Crossing the Rubicon.

An important overview, and some of it new to me. (Point 5 below, for instance.) A .pdf of the entire address can be found here: http://www.fromthewilderness.com/PDF/Commonwealth.pdf And here's an excerpt of Ruppert noting several touchstones of his book:


1. I will name Richard Cheney as the prime suspect in the mass murders of 9/ 11 and will establish that, not only was he a planner in the attacks, but also that on the day of the attacks he was running a completely separate command, control and communications system which was superceding any orders being issued by the NMCC, or the White House situation room. To accomplish that end he relied on a redundant and superior communications system maintained by the us secret service in or near the presidential emergency operations center – the bunker to which he and national security advisor Condoleezza Rice were reportedly "rushed" after Flight 175 struck the WTC´s south tower. I will demonstrate that the secret service possessed radar screens which gave them, and the vice president, whose side the never left, with real-time information as good as or better than that available to the Pentagon;

...

3. I will establish conclusively that in May of 2001, by presidential order, Richard Cheney was put in direct command and control of all wargame and field exercise training and scheduling through several agencies, especially FEMA. This also extended to all of the conflicting and overlapping NORAD drills on that day.

4. I will also demonstrate that the TRIPOD II exercise being set up on Sept. 10th in Manhattan was directly connected to Cheney´s role in number 3 above.

5. I will also prove conclusively that a number of public officials, at the national and New York City levels, including then Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, were aware that Flight 175 was en route to lower manhattan for 20 minutes and did nothing – absolutely nothing – to order the evacuation of or warn the occupants of the world trade center. One military officer was forced to leave his post in the middle of the attacks and place a private call to his brother -who worked at the WTC - warning him to get out. That was apparently an act of desperation because no other part of the system was taking action.

1. Uh, fuuuuuuuuuck.

I'll give it a read...

But, as to point one above, that would mean that Mary Matalin (sp?) would have knowledge of Cheney's involvement in the attack, since she was in da bunker with the DICK, his lesbian beard and Condorleeza.

2. Well what timing

Here's the war criminal right now.

I want this pig to go down.

3. From your link Minstrel Boy

WITH DEMAND STILL ACCELERATING RAPIDLY IN BOTH THE US AND THE
INDUSTRIALIZED AND DEVELOPING WORLD, THE ARRIVAL OF PEAK OIL
LITERALLY DESCRIBES A POINT OF OVERSHOOT IN WHICH ECONOMIC
AND ECOLOGICAL STASIS – LET ALONE GROWTH – BECOMES
UNSUSTAINABLE. OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST THREE YEARS,
“FROM THE WILDERNESS” HAS PIONEERED THE INVESTIGATION AND
DOCUMENTATION OF THIS CRISIS. WITH THE INVALUABLE RESEARCH
AND WRITING OF FTW’S ENERGY EDITOR DALE ALLEN PFEIFFER, A
GEOLOGIST, AND THROUGH MY OWN TRAVELS AND RESEARCH IN THE
US, FRANCE AND GERMANY, WE HAVE DRAWN UPON THE EXPERTISE
OF THOSE WITH DECADES OF EXPERIENCE IN THE OIL INDUSTRY (MANY
OF WHOM HAVE LEFT IT), INDEPENDENT SCIENTISTS AND ACADEMICS
HAVING NO CONNECTION TO THE ENERGY INDUSTRY, BUSINESS AND
FINANCIAL LEADERS, INTERNATIONAL BODIES SUCH AS THE
INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY, AND ACTUAL WORLD EVENTS TO
DRAW ATTENTION TO WHAT IS THE SINGLE MOST SERIOUS THREAT
FACING MANKIND IN ITS ENTIRE HISTORY.
IT IS MY BELIEF, AS I SPEAK TO YOU TONIGHT THAT PLANET EARTH IS –
PLUS OR MINUS ONE YEAR – AT THE ALL TIME PEAK OF HYDROCARBON
ENERGY PRODUCTION. SIMPLY PUT, WE HAVE USED HALF OF ALL THE
OIL GOD PLACED ON THIS PLANET, AND EVERY DROP, EVERY BARREL
EXTRACTED FROM THE GROUND FROM NOW ON WILL BECOME
PROGRESSIVELY MORE EXPENSIVE, OF LESSER QUALITY, AND MUCH
HARDER TO OBTAIN. WE HAVE PICKED THE LOW HANGING FRUIT. AS
11
ALL EXPERTS AGREE, PEAK IS SOMETHING WE WILL ONLY KNOW OF A
CERTAINTY AS WE VIEW IT IN OUR REAR VIEW MIRRORS.
THE ATTACKS OF SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2001 WERE THE PRETEXT FOR THE
AMERICAN, AND TO A LESSER EXTENT, THE BRITISH AND ISRAELI
EMPIRES TO BEGIN SEIZING, BY FORCE, THOSE ENERGY SUPPLIES
NEEDED TO SUSTAIN THEIR POWER, HEGEMONY (WHETHER REGIONAL
OR GLOBAL) AND THEIR TEETERING ECONOMIES.
THE ATTACKS OF 9/11 WERE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH AN AMAZING
ORCHESTRATION OF LOGISTICS AND PERSONNEL. FORMER NATIONAL
SECURITY AIDE AND COUNTER-TERROR ADVISOR RICHARD CLARKE
HAS POSTULATED THAT SUCH A CONSPIRACY COULD NEVER BE KEPT A
SECRET. TOO MANY PEOPLE WOULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED, HE SAID.
ON THIS POINT I DISAGREE WITH CLARKE COMPLETELY AND POINT TO
THE FACT THAT THE MANHATTAN PROJECT, WHICH DEVELOPED THE
ATOM BOMB AND THE STEALTH FIGHTER PROJECT WERE BOTH
SUCCESSFULLY KEPT SECRET. THE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE INVOLVED IN
BOTH OF THOSE PROJECTS FAR EXCEEDED THE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE
WITHIN THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT REQUIRED TO EXECUTE
9/11.
HOWEVER, I MUST EXPRESS A DEEP DEBT OF GRATITUDE TO CLARKE.
FOR IN HIS BOOK “AGAINST ALL ENEMIES” HE LEFT A COMPELLING TRAIL
OF BREAD CRUMBS, CONTRADICTIONS TO THE SWORN TESTIMONY OF
OUR HIGHEST LEADERS, AND HARD EVIDENCE WHICH PROVIDED ME
WITH MUCH OF THE INFORMATION NEEDED TO SAY THAT NOT ONLY
CAN I NAME SOME OF THE US GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WHO
PERPETRATED THOSE ATTACKS, I CAN ALSO IDENTIFY THE PRIME
SUSPECT – OR MR. BIG – WHO PLAYED THE COMMAND ROLE IN

6. That's a good idea

more from the link

IT IS NO MORE PROPER TO SAY THAT THE ACTIONS OF THE ISRAELI
GOVERNMENT ARE ABOVE CRITICISM THAN IT IS TO SAY THAT
CRITICISM OF THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT IS A CRITICISM OF ALL
AMERICANS.
THERE ARE MANY DIRECT CONNECTIONS BETWEEN ISRAELI
INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES AND THE EVENTS OF 9/11 INCLUDING A
REPORT FROM THE DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION, SHOWING
THAT MORE THAN 100 ISRAELI COVERT OPERATIVES WERE
FUNCTIONING INSIDE THE UNITED STATES JUST BEFORE AND DURING
THE ATTACKS. SOME OF THESE OPERATIVES WERE PLACED IN
EXTREMELY CLOSE PROXIMITY TO FOUR OF THE 9/11 HIJACKERS IN
SOUTH FLORIDA AND SAN DIEGO. ISRAELI COMPANIES SUCH AS
AMDOCS, COMVERSE AND ODIGO HAD DIRECT CONNECTIONS TO THE
EVENTS OF 9/11. A “FORMER” ISRAELI ANTI-TERROR OPERATIVE WAS
ON BOARD AMERICAN FLIGHT 11.
35
TO SAY THAT ISRAEL PLAYED A CRIMINAL ROLE IN THE ATTACKS IS NOT
THE SAME THING AS SAYING THAT ISRAEL PERPETRATED THE
ATTACKS. A KEY QUESTION ASKED BY ANY HOMICIDE INVESTIGATOR
IS CUI BONO? WHO BENEFITS. AND ON THIS ACCOUNT WE CAN FIND
ONLY THREE COUNTRIES, THE US, BRITAIN AND ISRAEL THAT HAVE
NEVER WAVERED IN THEIR SUPPORT OF EVERYTHING THAT HAS
HAPPENED SINCE 9/11.
TONIGHT, EVEN AS I SPEAK, AN ISRAELI SPY SCANDAL IS SPREADING
THROUGH THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF THE PENTAGON AND REVELATIONS
FROM BREAKING NEWS STORIES STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT THE
INFORMATION BEING PROVIDED TO THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT
CARRIED WITH IT THE SANCTION OF SOME OF THE SAME PEOPLE I
HAVE CHARGED IN “CROSSING THE RUBICON” WITH PERPETRATING THE
ATTACKS OF SEPTEMBER 11TH. TONIGHT I PREDICT THAT THE CURRENT
SCANDAL WILL OVERLAP AND CONNECT WITH THE RECENT ARREST BY
SOUTH AFRICAN AUTHORITIES OF SIR MARK THATCHER, SON OF
FORMER BRITISH PRIME MINISTER MARGARET THATCHER, FOR HIS
ROLE IN SPONSORING AN ABORTED COUP IN THE WEST AFRICAN
NATION OF EQUATORIAL GUINEA. THE MOTIVE: BRITISH COMMERCIAL
ACQUISITION OF OIL RIGHTS IN A REGION THAT – AS I HAVE BEEN
WRITING FOR TWO YEARS NOW – IS DESTINED TO BECOME THE NEXT
REGIONAL ZONE OF CONFRONTATION.
WEST AFRICAN NATIONS FROM SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA, TO NIGERIA, TO
SIERRA LEONE, TO SAO TOME AND PRINCIPE, TO CHAD, TO CAMEROON
TO ANGOLA ARE ALL FEVERISH OIL-RUSH BOOM TOWNS WHERE
NATIONS, MONEY, MILITARY MIGHT, COVERT OPERATIONS AND
INTRIGUE ARE CONVERGING WITH LIGHTNING SPEED TO CONTROL OIL
RESERVES. ALTHOUGH MUCH SMALLER THAN THE RESERVES OF THE
MIDDLE EAST, THESE AFRICAN RESERVES ARE CRITICAL SWING AND
