It is time for ordinary Americans to wake up. We can all shame people like Bob Strauss. That SOB is getting 2 million dollars to spin the public relation game for Saudi Arabia. The average citizen is not even aware of the traitors, because they are politically connected.

Well, well, well...could this tie in to the events of September 11. Looks like the people who'd install and program ptech's software would've had access to a lot of info.

Good Job by the boys. Tip o' the hat to them.

Pretty decent snowstorm last night. Wonder why they didn't wait til the weather cleared up. Must've been urgent.

I can recall members of the Bin Laden family in the Boston area whisked secretly and swiftly away after 9/11, with no FBI interest.

You remember well. The FBI were "protecting" them 24/7!

Not a problem. They still have their American partner/s watching out for their interests.

Both of them....

1. So does "Ptech" stand for "Pakistani Tech" or "Palestinian Tech"?

2. WRT their web page header that you posted on #3, the corporate logo on the left looks to me to be similar to the geometric motifs that are quite common in classic Islamic architecture.

3. Again wrt the web page header, note that the flow chart symbols point to what appears to be a BULL'S-EYE TARGET on the right. Ominous?

From an MSNBC article....


However, James Cerrato, the company’s chief product officer, said as he walked into the office Friday morning: “There’s absolutely nothing there” in terms of a link to al-Qaida.
“I think as soon as the investigation concludes, that will put a light on things,” he added.

Muslim BrotherHood---Cult of Assassins

From: The Brothers in Blood by Ovid Demaris Copyright 1977

pg 106; Nasser's efforts to send terroists against the Jews failed, but the more powerful MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, an ultra-right-wing political and religious organization did send in its gunmen. In an attack on the kibbutz at Kfar Darom, the Muslim Brothers showed fanatical courae before they were beaten off and withdrew, leaving their dead behind. The Jews found that every one of the slain brother wore a parchment about twelve by eighteen inches long, covered with Arabic script proclaiming the wearer "a true Muslim fighting the Jihad, who is therefore immune to all manner of lead and steel."

pg 123 (re;founders) The Aga Khan is a descendent of the leaders of the Assassins. The Ismailis to some extent merged with the Sufi sect of mystics, and the Sufis were an influence on the founders of the Muslim Brotherhood, which in turn influenced both Gen. Nasser and the founders of al-Fatah.

pg 127 (Arafats role) Among the Palestinians themselves, numerous stories circulated about the identity of Fatah's leader. (Arafat) Several Months after Isreali forces entered the Gaza Strip, a search for his relatives began and numerous members of the Arafat families were questioned. and, indeed, the answer was found in Gaza. The man's real name is Abd el-Rahman Abd el-Rauf Arafat el-Qudwa el-Husseini, AKA Yassir Arafat....

According to PLO releases, Arafat was born in Jerusalem......One of Arafats cousins told Yaari that the Jerusalem story was only to cover up the fact that he was born outside of Palesine.

pg 131 In 1956 Yasir Arafat was trained in sabotage at an Egyptian army school.....Khalil el-Wazir failed at college and went to Saudi Arabia to teach for a while. He move to Kuwait torejoin Arafat. One day in the summer of 1957 a dozen men met on a deserted beach outside the town of Al-Kuwait a few hours before sunst. Their purpose in meeting was to set up a terrorist organization that would one day drive the Jews out of Palesine. Three of them were associates of Arafat's from Cairo, all more or less steeped in the philosophy of the Muslim Brotherhood. All at the meeting had traveled to Prague in 1956. ( Apparently some sort of Soviet terror Job fair)

pg 151 The Arab terrorists had not yet succeeded in impressing the Soviets but not because the Russians disapproved of the methods used or were favorable to Israel. ..........Indeed, one Jordanian communist reported to the Soviets during this period that there was reason to believe al-Fatah was dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood thinking.

DOESN'T IT JUST WARM THE COCKLES OF YOUR HEART TO KNOW THIS MURDEROUS BUNCH OF KILLERS ARE ARE OPENLY OPERATING CELLS ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY.

How about we FreeRep all of PTech's clients. My guess is this PTech would be out of business real quick.

Why aren't you more interested in connecting The Things (Clinton) visits to the old Soviet Union in the Oxford days and Arafats visits to the same. Or does the Things coddling and elevation of Arafat in the quest to destroy Israel not interest you?

Archy, your enemy is not Bush, it is and always has been the Evil Dumocrats and The Thing. HE is the one that has almost destroyed this country, and unless Americans wake up, The Thing may have won.

you failed to highlight FAA, FBI, and IRS.

They didn't have to be highlighted. I saw them.

As an interesting tidbit, remember that the three other Arab hijackers aboard Flight 11 drove to Logan, while Atta and Alomari reportedly arrived in Boston the previous Sunday, drove back to Portland and then flew again to Boston.

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=24596

BTW, wasn't Bioport, the biomedical firm that the bin Ladens had financial interests in, also located in Boston? I'd look it up myself since I have the old URL, but the thread has been pulled.

Because as a Memphis-based jopurnalist, I had little access to the old Soviet Union, Oxford, or Arafat in the Middle East, despite a couple of short trips overseas. Accordingly, I was more interested in Mid-South goings-on, particularly to include Little Rock [the murder of Little Rock UPI Statehouse reporter Judy Danielak by a sniper a few months after the Juanita Broaddrick rape, for instance] Nashville [to include research into details of official coverups of the narcotics trafficking by Gore's uncle Whit LaFon and theft of Tennessee National Guard weapons and explosives] and the unusual circumstances of the death of Memphis attorney Stanley Huggins, following his investigation into the collapse of the Madison Guarantee Savings and Loan firm that put whitehouse chums Jim and Susan McDougle behind bars. Then there was the civil lawsuit trial brought by the family of Martin Luther King for that murder, and a few others with names I bet not familiar to you.

Archy, your enemy is not Bush, it is and always has been the Evil Democrats and The Thing.

Certainly. And of course, those Republicans or others who are on the payroll of the Democrats, or who have otherwise been subverted or compromised by them. Surely you would not want to see such creatures remain in the ranks of honest Republicans to further corrupt others and lower the reputation of Republicans to that of the Democrats. Why people might begin to believe that all Republicans were helping further criminal activities in which Democrats like *The Thing* you mentioned profitted as governor from transshipments of narcotics through the Mena, Arkansas airport, and others...but only with the help of coverup from then Arkansas U.S. Attorney Asa Hutchinson, supposedly a Republican.

You have a choice: Either the crooks and Democratic accomplices can be tossed from the ranks of decent Republican candidates and officeholders, or more and more Americans will simply see them both as partners sharing their criminal operation, squabbling only on the division of the proceeds and how to best split them up.

And if *The Thing* wins, or if his other political allies get another chance to destroy this country, it will be because some Republicans failed to bring him to justice for his criminal actions, fearful that a few of their own would also be named as his accomplices.

But Bush seems to have no problem at all keeping on the Clinton-era appointees he inherited from his predecessor...including all those Democratic U.S. Attorneys appointed after most of the Republican U.S. Attorney appointees had been fired.

Your observations in #65 are excellent. Personally, I'd bet on Pakistani.

Wouldn't you think that the Feds would have enough brains to do background checks on entities that are hired and entrusted to process such critical data??
I dont know about the rest of you, but I am getting fed up hearing on a weekly basis about these collosal boners our Government pulls!
When are they gonna wake up and cut the PC crap?? Lately, all we hear about is: "FBI Closes The Barn Door After The Cows Got Out"

The Bioport manufacturing facilities are located in Michigan, but some of the financial backers from The Carlyle Group and Intervac do indeed have ties to the Boston area. *Details here*.
