| Unfortunately I didn't see this post till it was too late.
However, sometime in 2006 I emailled James Bamford & sent airmail letters, both direct (I had an email address at the time) to him, and via his publishers. However, I never did get a reply.
Here is the email, and I would be grateful if anyone with his contact details would either forward it to him, or pm me with his present contact details:
Hi, Mr. Bamford,
I have read your excellent book 'Body of Secrets', and there are two issues
that I believe you should revise. These are in relation to Pearl Harbor and
the USS Liberty.
Regarding Pearl, you wrote that it was a 'surprise', but as Robert Stinnett
clearly shows in his 'Day of Deceit' (which came out around the same time as
your book, and which he researched for 17 years) it was not only not a
surprise, but it was desired an 8-point be plan devised to bring it on. Please
check the book out.
Re the Liberty, Peter Hounam wrote 'Operation Cyanide' which came out in
2003, giving the reason Israel attacked the Liberty. I know the received
wisdom was that it was an Israeli attempt to hide the War Crimes being
committed at El Areish, and/or info re it's attack on Syria. But after
reading Peter's book, I believe you'll revise your assessment.
Peter Hounam was the investigative reporter who broke the Mordecai Vanunu
story of Israel's nuclear arsenal. I'll give you a couple of quotes from his
book that should wet your appetite : (recounted by Ephraim 'Eppie' Evron, in
1967 the Deputy Israeli Ambassador, at 25th Anniversary conference on
Six-Day War) 'I, Lyndon
Johnson, have to get congressional approval if I want to act as President of
the United States. Otherwise, I'm just a six-foot-four Texan friend of
Israel. But you and I, the two most powerful people in Washington, are going
to get the Congress to pass another Tonkin resolution'. This was said to
Evron on the 26th May 1967, less than two weeks before the Israeli attack on
the ship. The other quote is by Moe Shafer, a Liberty survivor, who was
sitting on his bunk on Admiral Martin's flagship 'Little Rock' (Sixth Fleet
Commander) with two or three other injured men from the 'Liberty' when
Martin came in to see them. Shafer said he seemed to want to tell someone
about what had happened before he would be obliged through pressure from
above to clam up: 'Not only did Admiral Martin tell me that four jets were
on their way to the Liberty with conventional weapons(and were recalled): he
stated that four were on their way to Cairo loaded with nuclear weapons. He
stated that we were three minutes from bombing them (the Egyptians). He also
said that the jets could not land back on the carrier with nuclear arms and
they had had to land in Athens.He stated this from my bedside while on the
Little Rock (the codename of the flagship) after the attack'. We know that
Tonkin was a fabrication, a pretext for massive escalation of US involvement
in Vietnam. Interestingly, Texan LBJ was also bankrolled by oil interests,
and he was a Mason (though only a very lowly one). And had the Liberty
'False Flag' op succeeded, it would have been the 'Mother' of all False Flag
ops, with Egypt being nuked.
Here are a couple of sites where you can watch or download 'Liberty' DVD's
(See 'Loss of Liberty'
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7267134620652018859 and 'Dead in
the Water' http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article5073.html ) 'Dead
in the Water' is BBC programme commissioned from Peter Hounam (who broke
Mordechai Vanunu's story about Israel's nuclear arsenal) who also wrote the
excellent 'Operation Cyanide' on the same subject. The book is even more
revealing.
All the best,
P.B. ('outsider') | | | | outsider | | Posted: Sat Feb 07, 2009 10:24 pm Post subject: |
| | Oh, yes, my mistake about the name of the flagship is in there; if I get the chance to resend the missive to Mr. Bamford, I will explain that that was a mistake. | | | | Alpha | | | | outsider | | Posted: Thu May 14, 2009 9:01 pm Post subject: |
| Unfortunately no questions were answered (I find it hard to believe none were asked) vis-a-vis the 'possibility' that 9/11 could have been an 'Inside Job'.
And of course, Bamford exposes his take on it, by continually referring and insinuating it was Osama wot dunnit.
For a man of his intelligence, he should, if he has studied the evidence at all, at least have very serious doubts.
Useful gatekeeper, though. | | | | | ©2002-2009 WarWithoutEnd.co.uk |
