A senior, bipartisan array of members of the two major investigations into the 9/11 attacks appeared on “60 Minutes” Sunday night, calling for release of secret documents which show Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the attacks. The program appeared just before Barack Obama’s final presidential visit to Saudi Arabia next week, and simultaneous with Congressional Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi’s press statement calling for release of the secret “28 pages” of the Congressional 9/11 investigation.

The agenda of Obama’s “crowning” visit to his war ally has surely now been “complicated.” The Royal Embassy in Washington of the Wahabite Saudi monarchy, weakened and not so dismissive as with previous 9/11 exposes, immediately denounced the “60 Minutes” broadcast as “a compilation of myths and erroneous charges that have been thoroughly addressed not just by the Saudi government, but also by the 9/11 Commission and the U.S. Courts.”

In the years since Obama first promised 9/11 victims’ families that he would declassify the 28 pages, he and the Saudis have been hand-in-hand in so much genocidal, or merely disastrous warmaking — and still are — that revealing Saudi responsibility in the 9/11 attacks would be a charge of dynamite, which would hit London as well. The “60 Minutes” segment began by stating, accurately, that there is “deep distrust” between the war allies, part of which arises from the obvious Saudi support for Sunni jihadist groups and terrorist ideologies worldwide.

Yet justice must, at last, be done for the 9/11 victims. Representative Pelosi stated that “As the former Ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee looking into the 9/11 attacks, I agree with former Senator Bob Graham that these documents should be declassified and made public.” Graham, on the CBS-TV program, said the hijackers had to have support within the United States, and when asked, “You believe that support came from Saudi Arabia?”, answered, “Substantially,” and indicated that he included the Saudi government. 9/11 Commission members Adm. (ret.) John Lehman, former Sen. Bob Kerrey, former Colorado Gov. Tim Roemer, all confirmed that most members of both investigations — including their leaders — want the 28 pages declassified by Obama. Moreso do the families, and EIR.

Most notable was Kerrey’s remark. The Saudi government for 14 years has relied on a single sentence in the 9/11 Commission Report, that it “did not find evidence that senior Saudi officials” were behind the attacks. Despite the extreme, deliberate ambiguity of “senior,” the Saudis have claimed, publicly and in U.S. Courts, that the Commission exonerated them. Kerrey bluntly told “60 Minutes” host Steve Kroft, “No, we did not exonerate the Saudis.”

Keiko Fujimori, daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori, is way out front in the vote count of Sunday’s presidential election, winning nearly 40% (39.5) of the vote, and a near majority in Congress, with 85% of the vote counted. As it stands now, Keiko will likely face a run-off election with former First Boston co-chairman and hedge fund owner Pedro Pablo Kuczynski (known as “PPK”), who with his 21% of the vote is ahead of the third leading contender, Green/pro-drug leftist candidate Veronika Mendoza by about a half million votes.

Everyone knows this is a vote for a return to the policies of Alberto Fujimori’s government, more than support for his more pragmatist daughter, Keiko. As President from 1990-2000, Fujimori defied London’s orders to capitulate to the bestial Shining Path and MRTA narcoterrorists, and mobilized the military and other national institutions to defeat the terrorists and drive back the drug trade. Within IMF financial constraints, he did what he could to bring electricity and roads to rural areas which governments had ignored for decades. When Fujimori then called for building a “United States of South America” around great development projects in August 2000, while his close associates were working on having American statesman Lyndon LaRouche visit Peru, George Soros personally took charge (with then-Secretary of State Madelaine Albright) of running (and financing) the coup which ousted Fujimori three months later. Fujimori is still in jail today, along with his top nationalist allies.

Luis Vasquez Medina, long-time leader of the LaRouche movement in Peru, welcomed Sunday’s vote, calling it the first opportunity since that coup 16 years ago that “Soros’s government” could be thrown out of office. Every government since the coup has been a Soros government, no matter the president, he pointed out. As a result, the drug trade has regained control nationwide, the mining companies looted freely, and almost no productive economic activity has been left standing. Now Peru must turn to Russia, China, and the BRICS, and fight to build the South American transcontinental railroad, Vasquez said.

Soros, the Project Democracy apparatus, and their media are gearing up their already-hyper campaign against Keiko, so as to defeat her in the June 5th second round, an operation which includes ferocious pressure on her to play by the rules of their game, rather than campaigning to lead Peru into the New Silk Road/World Land-Bridge paradigm.
