Several times in the past in my column space I’ve written about the 28 pages, that have been suppressed by the Bush administration pertaining to the 9/11 attacks on this country. A decade ago, 46 senators led by Chuck Schumer, demanded that George Bush declassify the 28 pages. Many people have speculated what is locked inside. Since the last time we got together to talk about this, the 47 pages of footnotes pertaining to the 28 suppressed pages have now dropped. Featured throughout those 47 pages of footnotes was Colorado-based Homaiden al Turki a fascinating fact pretty much unmentioned in Denver’s hard hitting media.
As a result of those footnotes it is believed Al Turki’s name appears at least six times in those 28 suppressed pages. Six times!
He is a wealthy Saudi with ties to the royal family that had a radical Islamic book Arabic language translation and publishing house based in Aurora, Colorado, and a person of interest regarding the 9/11 attacks. While never charged in the 9/11 attacks he was eventually convicted of, inter alia, sexually assaulting his Indonesian housekeeper.
There was a concerted effort beginning in November 2006 to get him out of Colorado’s prisons and take him back to Saudi Arabia. The current mayor of Colorado Springs, then Attorney General John Suthers (unaffectionately known in some circles as “King Rat”), made a trip on the behest of some unknown power to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to meet with King Abdullah, Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz and al Turki’s family. Suthers has turned into a clam on the subject. The only time he ever mentioned the topic of his trip was to declare, “The State Department paid for the flight, but the King (of Saudi Arabia) has now offered to pay for my air fare.”
So John boy, what did you, the crown prince and the king talk about? Fracking, the euro, legalized marijuana, or how to get this 9/11 terrorist home free? My money’s on the last one. Al Turki was convicted of felony counts of unlawful sexual contact by use of force, theft and extortion, false imprisonment and conspiracy to commit false imprisonment. The young woman they kept in their place was a slave.
Memo to Hal Haddon (al Turki’s lawyer), fast Jack Finlaw, (Governor John Hickenlooper’s general counsel), and Roxanne White (Hickenlooper’s chief of staff), dudes and dudette … he had a slave! Because of the great work done by Fox 31’s Julie Hayden, we read their email exchanges of how they were brokering Hickenlooper to get a fast pass release. In one of those emails in December 2012, Finlaw actually tells Horrible Hal, that he had “good news!” — Al Turki may be able to go home!
Good news? A slaver? Involved up to his eyebrows in 9/11? Good news that he was going back to Saudi Arabia? You people really have no shame. And now we have the entire report from the Texas Department of Corrections; again thank you to Julie and Fox News. If you remember how the father of Evan “Evil” Ebel, (murderer of Department of Corrections Chief Tom Clements and pizza delivery guy Nathan Leon) was portrayed in all the front range media outlets as the grieving father so unaware of his son’s behavior.
Now we know he and his son stalked a delightful woman and dancer named Crystal. According to the Denver police department, she had sex with both father and son. Back in the day, that was known as the “Sportsman’s Double.”
And that same grieving father, also sent money to the family members of the infamous white supremacist prison gang known as the 211 Crew. Now you think that would be a front page in The Denver Post or at least a mention on Channel 9. It was instead the silence of the lambs.
Because column space is limited let’s review: Someone very powerful in the Bush administration, sent attorney general John Suthers (aka King Rat) to apologize to the Saudis, that was the first step in getting that known terrorist back home. It has since been followed up by some of the most powerful influence peddlers around the state capitol, like so many buzzards, jumping on-board for undisclosed petro-dollars. The questions are still unanswered.
The Denver Post slipped up and asked John Hickenlooper to appoint a special prosecutor, to do what? To investigate John Hickenlooper? John Suthers? The powered influencers of the Saudi Arabians in Colorado? Not gonna happen.
I understand that Homaidan is now in a federal institution in Beaumont, Texas, for a state of Colorado sex crime. Why move to a federal jail? The Saudis threatened to dump 750 billion of U.S. debt if anyone was permitted to sue them for 9/11 and the beat goes on. But they did “nothing wrong” so why threaten a dump?
As we were writing this The Denver Post employees held a demonstration outside their building, some were wearing t-shirts that said “Journalism Matters,” as if it ever really did at The Denver Post who cannot even mention the name Homaiden al Turki.
