Scooping the Peacock

On Tuesday, April 5th I broke the story on my radio show (with a little help from EddieLeaks.org): Federal Judge John Walker, a cousin of former President George W. Bush, apparently sees no conflict of interest sitting in judgment on a case alleging that his cousin’s administration orchestrated the 9/11 attacks!  The story – amazingly enough – was picked up by CNBC two days later.

April Gallop’s attorney William Veale sounded stunned as he spoke to me shortly after leaving the courtroom on Tuesday: “You know, every day, life gets more interesting… They don’t give you the names of the (three federal judges) who are going to be on the panel until five days before the actual argument. We learned last Thursday that one of the individuals who was going to be on the panel was a judge by the name of John M. Walker. That didn’t mean anything to me at the time. And so I made some phone calls around. And I learned from two different independent sources that John Walker is a cousin of George W. Bush…so I wrote a motion to disqualify Judge Walker, because I didn’t think he had any business sitting in judgment on a case which is going to call his entire family’s name into question, and his cousin’s administration into question, by saying the most horrible things about them. So I didn’t think this was something a family member should be called upon to do, and I didn’t think it would be helpful to history to have this blemish, that this case was judged by a family member…so I made the motion (to disqualify Judge Walker). And today, when the case was called, I was expecting them to rule on the motion. And they didn’t say anything. They just started to hear the argument. And I said, wait a minute, there’s a motion pending before the court. And they said ‘That motion will be denied.'” Veale then requested a continuance to seek appellate review of the court’s ruling, which was also denied.

Judge John Walker is apparently so far above the law that he can sit in judgment on a case alleging that his cousin’s administration committed the worst crime in US history. I guess that’s not surprising from a guy who can kill a cop and walk. (The officer’s dying words were probably “so sorry I got in your way, Judge Walker sir! I hope this doesn’t inconvenience you!”)

The Bush family, of course, is notorious for its above-the-law shenanigans. From George H.W. Bush’s apparent participation in the murder of President John F. Kennedy, to his orchestration of the Watergate coup d’etat (both discussed in Russ Baker’s impecable, thoroughly documented Family of Secrets), to the Bush Family Business of CIA drug smuggling, to Marvin Bush’s apparent murder of his housekeeper (to shut her up about 9/11?),  to H.W.’s treasonous “October Surprise” coup d’etat against President Carter, to W’s habit of bringing boy prostitutes into the White House to spend the night with him (a propensity he apparently shares with his father), to his watching the first plane hit on 9/11 on an NSA close-circuit channel, and later wiring the White House with another closed-circuit channel on which he could watch Guantanamo-style sex torture sessions live for his (and Jeff Gannon’s?) entertainment (both stories broken by Wayne Madsen)….I guess nothing the Bush/Walker family does should surprise us.

    Do I sense a breakthrough for 911 truth? The CNBC article brings up some of the glaring anomalies of the Pentagon event, and states that over 89% of Germans don't believe the official story. This is a first for the US corporate media, and we need to keep this story alive. Bravo to April Gallup and William Veale! I wish there were more soldiers and lawyers with your courage. Persevere!

    911 research, to be complete should be aware of this:
    Technology for Autopilot Override of Pilot Control of Boeing Aircraft Developed Circa 2001 By Aidan Monaghan 03 Feb 2011 The development of the capability of an aircraft Flight Management Computer (FMC) to take control of an aircraft away from a pilot and turn over control to its autopilot system apparently was underway circa September 11, 2001. In a 2003 "Aviation Week" report, Honeywell describes an already existing "secret" disabling FMC code that can allow a GPS-guided aircraft autopilot system to take away control of an aircraft from a pilot during emergencies. Honeywell state-of-the-art Flight Management Systems (FMS) were used by the four aircraft reportedly hijacked on September 11, 2001.
    ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    Aviation Week has stated that first "fly-by-wire" aircraft was introduced in 1985. That technology meant that a plane could be taken over from a pilot by off-site electronics using a secret code (good for hijacker protection, but don't let potential hijackers know you have that ability).
    _________________________________________________________________________
    One company System Planning Corporation developed a system that could take control and direct 8 aircraft simultaneously. The CEO of SPC became the Pentagon Comptroller and Chief Financial Officer who held that post when 1.3 trillion dollars (some reports say 2.3 trillion), went missing, unaccounted for (reported to Congress by Donald Rumsfeld on September 10, 2001, the day before the 9/11attack). Unfortunately accounting records and even accountants were wiped out in the Pentagon attack on 9/11. Most of those killed in the office, called Resource Services Washington, were civilian accountants, bookkeepers and budget analysts. They were at their desks when American Airlines Flight 77 struck.
    If you want to go further down this rabbit hole, do a google search on Dov Zackheim, who was that former Comproller of the Pentagon, and the former CEO of the Corporation that could control remotely up to 8 Airliners simultaneously.
