Editor’s Notes:


Flyby News is being updated almost daily under “critical breaking news” (below “Recent Issues). I recommend at some time reading everything on our main page. There are some issues that take longer to come about, but worthy of your time to consider. Item 3 have everything to do with ending the nuclear nightmare, and reversing deterrent-proliferation policies to another direction for abolishing all WMD. Stopping the breeder for toxic waste and yesterday’s weapons is imperative for a less messy future, and brighter energy-future today! Item 2 goes to the heart of a Sun Dance and the fateful story of Leonard Peltier and US injustice. Jehan Abdur-Raheem weighs in, too, with an inside view of what happens in prisons. Yet, now, with a new administration in D.C., there’s an opportunity. There are plenty of great campaigns to support. Please consider helping any way you can. The idea of making a play from Leonard Peltier’s words, “My Life Is My Sun Dance” sounds special. Leonard was arrested February 6, 1976. President Obama, please stand up for this Native American human rights defender.

The first item ends with an obituary, Donn Rodney GrandPre', known to many as Colonel Donn de Grand Pre, USA (retired). This patriot passed away at his residence in Reva, Virginia, on Saturday, 24 January 2009. He served his country in the U. S. Army and, after retiring from the Defense Department, was active in real estate and authored seven books. “The first important steps in the quest for 9/11 truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, were taken by Donn de Grand Pre within days of the 9/11 attacks, when he convened a joint meeting of military, commercial and private aviators and other aviation professionals to analyze the alleged flights of 9/11. Their conclusions were unanimous: these flight paths, particularly those of the jets that hit WTC2 and the Pentagon, could not have been made by flight students on their maiden voyages in big jets, or even by seasoned pilots, but rather, only by remote control of the aerial vehicles.” And still going backwards, the first two articles include Ron Schalow’s real Bush 9/11 legacy, based on facts, not fiction. And after the last eight years, the top article should not be too great of a stretch, “the war on terror is a hoax.”

1) War for Terror – September 11 Legacy – Donn De Grand Pre

- - The War on Terror is a Hoax
- - The True September 11 Legacy of George W. Bush
- - DONN DE GRAND PRE, REQUIESCAT IN PACE!

- - The War on Terror is a Hoax
By Paul Craig Roberts

February 04, 2009 Information Clearinghouse" -- - According to US government propaganda, terrorist cells are spread throughout America, making it necessary for the government to spy on all Americans and violate most other constitutional protections. Among President Bush’s last words as he left office was the warning that America would soon be struck again by Muslim terrorists.

If America were infected with terrorists, we would not need the government to tell us. We would know it from events. As there are no events, the US government substitutes warnings in order to keep alive the fear that causes the public to accept pointless wars, the infringement of civil liberty, national ID cards, and inconveniences and harassments when they fly.

The most obvious indication that there are no terrorist cells is that not a single neocon has been assassinated.

I do not approve of assassinations, and am ashamed of my country’s government for engaging in political assassination. The US and Israel have set a very bad example for al Qaeda to follow.

The US deals with al Qaeda and Taliban by assassinating their leaders, and Israel deals with Hamas by assassinating its leaders. It is reasonable to assume that al Qaeda would deal with the instigators and leaders of America’s wars in the Middle East in the same way.

Today every al Qaeda member is aware of the complicity of neoconservatives in the death and devastation inflicted on Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon and Gaza. Moreover, neocons are highly visible and are soft targets compared to Hamas and Hezbollah leaders. Neocons have been identified in the media for years, and as everyone knows, multiple listings of their names are available online.

Neocons do not have Secret Service protection. Dreadful to contemplate, but it would be child’s play for al Qaeda to assassinate any and every neocon. Yet, neocons move around freely, a good indication that the US does not have a terrorist problem.

If, as neocons constantly allege, terrorists can smuggle nuclear weapons or dirty bombs into the US with which to wreak havoc upon our cities, terrorists can acquire weapons with which to assassinate any neocon or former government official.

Yet, the neocons, who are the Americans most hated by Muslims, remain unscathed.

The “war on terror” is a hoax that fronts for American control of oil pipelines, the profits of the military-security complex, the assault on civil liberty by fomenters of a police state, and Israel’s territorial expansion.

There were no al Qaeda in Iraq until the Americans brought them there by invading and overthrowing Saddam Hussein, who kept al Qaeda out of Iraq.

- - The True September 11 Legacy of George W. Bush
By Ron Schalow

[EXCERPT]

What Did the President Do on 9/11? Why Wonder?

Even though his term has mercifully ended, George W. Bush and his gang continue to spread the bull as part of his "Legacy Project." They are determined to rewrite history, but the facts don't make for much of a legacy, so all they can do is spin events, lie, and hope that people will forget the details over time. Learn the truth, and spread the truth, and don't allow the history of the Bush presidency to become one of false fables.

Others have chronicled the dozens or hundreds of other Bush failures, but this book tells the story of Bush on 9/11. If you still think the 7 minutes of wasted time in the classroom about covers it; you're way off.

After extensive research, Bullshit Artist was published in 2006. It is not a conspiracy theory book. It is the history of George Bush on 9/11, as told by Bush, his staff, and literary toadies. Read the story and draw your own conclusions.

All Chapters are Available in the Left Menu FREE of CHARGE
Quote Citations & Sources are Numbered in the Print Version

"Bullshit Artist" is the True Story of Spleen Clutching Incompetence, Forehead Slapping Stupidity and Ear Sweating Cowardice. Tough on terrorism? Strong on defense? Leadership? Not quite. Compared to George W. Bush's gutless and incompetent performance on 9/11, Brownie looks like General Patton. The President pulled a FEMA for 102 minutes while al Qaeda struck with impunity.

In the interest of Truthful and Accurate History; the 2006 book that accounts for all of George W. Bush’s mindless exploits on September 11, is now posted online for free reading.

- - DONN DE GRAND PRE, REQUIESCAT IN PACE!
By Stephen M. St. John

Donn Rodney GrandPre', known to many APFN readers as Colonel Donn de Grand Pre, USA (retired), passed away at his residence in Reva, Virginia, on Saturday, 24 January 2009. Mr. De Grand Pre was born in Overly, North Dakota to Leo GrandPre' and Mae Arnesson GrandPre' on 20 February 1926. He served his country in the U. S. Army and, after retiring from the Defense Department, was active in real estate and authored seven books.

The first important steps in the quest for 9/11 truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, were taken by Donn de Grand Pre within days of the 9/11 attacks, when he convened a joint meeting of military, commercial and private aviators and other aviation professionals to analyze the alleged flights of 9/11. Their conclusions were unanimous: these flight paths, particularly those of the jets that hit WTC2 and the Pentagon, could not have been made by flight students on their maiden voyages in big jets, or even by seasoned pilots, but rather, only by remote control of the aerial vehicles.

Somehow, Philip Zelikow and the rest of the 9/11 Commission members and staff steered around this professional assessment offered by de Grand Pre. The Joint Chiefs of Staff were all apprised, but said nothing. Hopefully future investigations will sort this out.

Donn de Grand Pre knew many of the Happy Hooligans of the North Dakota Air National Guard that flew out of Langley Air Force Base in Virginia on 9/11. He knowingly pointed to an awards ceremony held for members of this 9/11 NORAD component by the Governor of North Dakota a year after 9/11. Citizens are not subject to the military. Somehow Judith Miller of the New York Times missed this story. No doubt she was chasing Curveball at the time!

An interesting interview that Donn de Grand Pre did with Alex Jones can be heard and read by clicking this link: www.show-the-house.com/id70.html.

Surviving this warrior with a heart and watchful citizen with a conscience is his wife, Ursella GrandPre' and his children Bruce de GrandPre' and his wife Karen of Oakton, VA, Kevin GrandPre' and his wife Katherine of Reva, VA, Doneva Wolf of Reva, VA, Colin GrandPre' of Vienna, VA, Annette Renee GrandPre' of Long Beach, CA, James Paul GrandPre' of Reva, VA and eight grandchildren and seven great grandchildren; also his siblings, Jeanne Weaver of Fargo, ND and James GrandPre' and his wife Marilyn of Denton, TX.

Funeral services were held in Our Lady of the Blue Ridge Catholic Church, Thursday, 29 January 2009 and interment was in the Culpeper National Cemetery, Chandler Street, Culpeper, VA. The American Legion Post 330 and V.F.W. Post 2524 Honor Guards provided military honors.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Madison County Rescue Squad, P. O. Box 868, Madison, VA 22727 or to the 82nd Airborne Division Association Education Fund, P. O. Box 9308, Fayetteville, NC 28311.

- - Jehan Abdur-Raheem on the Assault of Leonard Peltier

[EXCERPT] – January 31, 2009 letter to Jonathan Mark

..What surprises me about the attack on Leonard Peltier is that it didn’t happen sooner. In spite of all the TRUTHS that are openly discussed and displayed about the prison system, the American public still seemingly cannot conceive of such plots orchestrated by prison staff, law enforcement officials, and even politicians. They will embrace the reality of gang-bangers executing contracts on one another for drug deals gone bad or the sexual favors of some young boy, but when the shadow element of our government initiates the same violence, our citizens go into a state of denial.

I’ve seen guards pit one prisoner against another, arm them, and then bet on the outcome. I’ve seen prisoners set-up with drugs and weapons; seen them beaten and then criminally charged with assaulting the guards who beat them. False reports can result in long years in solitary, and the most common tool for abuse now is paying another convict with favors to file a Confidential Report against a convict that prison officials fear or dislike.

Just recently several Riker Island guards were arrested for setting gangs of youthful prisoners on weaker arrestees. In this case a 17 year old male was beaten to death in an attack initiated and sanctioned by the guards. This is quite common, so why is it so hard to accept that the same thing happened to Leonard Peltier?

We Americans talk often about human rights violations in other countries, but we seldom use the words, “Cruel and Unusual Punishment” when we look in our own backyard. We knew about Abu Ghraib in Iraq and how most of the American Military assigned there worked as prison guards in America. We look at the torture in Guantanamo Bay and justify it in our minds by calling those who are abused, TERRORISTS, although most have not been convicted and many never even formally charged. We want to be the world’s moral vanguard, but how can that happen when we allow good men like Leonard Peltier be victimized by our own government?

Obama is a different man – Anyone who sees him and listens to him cannot help but to be impressed by the level of sincerity he projects. Now is a perfect time to re-start the effort to have Leonard Peltier pardoned or his sentence commuted.. After 33 years in prison I know the type of nefarious activities that truly govern these places. . . The thing is that when our own legal institutions, law enforcement, agents, courts, and politicians become the crooks and abusers themselves, what have we become as a society? Freidrich Nietzsche once wrote that “in fighting monsters we must be careful not to become monsters ourselves..” I fear the worst has happened already.

3) Sign-on letter to stop $50B in nuclear pork

LET'S STOP THE NUCLEAR PORK IN THE STIMULUS PACKAGE!

From: Nuclear Information and Resource Service
January 30, 2009

Dear Friend,

As you probably know by now, the economic stimulus package approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee includes up to $50 Billion in new taxpayer loan guarantees that can be used for construction of new nuclear reactors and "clean coal" plants (an oxymoron if there ever was one...). We need to tell the Senate that we're not willing to risk our money on nuclear power, that we don't want more radioactive waste in our communities, and that we do want Congress to support safer, cleaner and cheaper energy resources like solar, wind and energy efficiency.

WITH YOUR HELP, WE CAN WIN THIS BATTLE!

Please e-mail your Senators by clicking here!. Ask your friends and colleagues to send a letter as well. And please follow up your e-mails with phone calls to your Senators at 202-224-3121.

Everyone: Please forward this e-mail widely--send to all your lists and contacts. We've already generated more than 2200 letters to the Senate in the past 24 hours! Let's keep it up!

We will keep you informed about what happens with this issue and any further actions you can take.

Thanks for all you do,

Michael Mariotte
Executive Director
