Help Solve the Bush AWOL Mystery & Petition for a Bi-Partisan Presidential

[Jon8503]

Dear Activist,

As Election Day nears, I sincerely believe victory is within reach -
thanks both to the vigorous campaign by Senators John Kerry and John
Edwards, and the unbelievable efforts of grassroots activists like you. I know you are inundated with urgent appeals for help from Democratic candidates and progressive causes, so I will not add another.

Here are two quick items I would simply like to call to your attention.
I believe they can make a difference in the coming days and weeks.

1. $1000 Reward for Solving the Bush AWOL Mystery

On Friday, Sinclair Broadcasting will once again smear war hero John
Kerry with the thoroughly-discredited Swift Boat lies.

For 4 years, we have tried to find out the truth about George W. Bush's
desertion from the Texas Air National Guard. Yet the mainstream media
has shown NO interest in getting to the bottom of this story.

Now, thanks to the incredible work of Paul Lukasiak of the AWOL Project
(http://glcq.com ), we are VERY close to learning the truth.

It all comes down to this: there is a special code on Bush's Air
National Guard discharge papers that would solve the mystery: "PTI 961".

"PTI" is the Air Force term for "Personal Transaction Identifier."
Lukasiak has determined that PTI 9xx means Lt. George W. Bush was
essentially worthless to the Air Force in 1973, and should not be retained in
the "Ready Reserves" for callup by the President even in the event of a
national emergency.

But why EXACTLY was Bush worthless to the Air Force in 1973, when he
still had a year left to serve?

We have long known that Bush was grounded as a pilot in September 1972
after he went AWOL for 5 months and refused to get his required annual
flight physical. (The media knows this too, but they keep it a deep
dark secret from the American people.) The 9-29-72 grounding record is
here:

Just this September, we learned that Bush's commander, Col. Jerry
Killian, told Bush's replacement (Capt. Jan Peter Linke) that Bush couldn't
fly because he developed a "Fear of Flying" - possibly related to his
substance abuse. (This was only reported nationally by The Nation, and
has been systematically ignored by ALL of the media.) Visit:

Back in 1972-3, Bush's powerful friends in the Texas Air National Guard
managed to conceal Bush's worthlessness from the Air Force for 16
months. But ultimately the Air Force demanded the truth, and Bush was
discharged accordingly - with code PTI 961.

When Bush became Governor, his aides - led by now-Presidential Advisor
Karen Hughes and now-Communications Director Dan Bartlett - destroyed
most of the records documenting Bush's failure to "fulfill his
obligations." During the 2000 campaign, Bush's former Guard crony Col. Al Lloyd
LIED to the media by claiming Bush "fulfilled his obligations" - a LIE
Bush keeps repeating, and the media still believes. And when Bush was
appointed President, his aides destroyed the rest of the embarassing and
incriminating records.

But they left one tiny trace of the truth: PTI 961.

Although researchers have searched extensively, we cannot find a public
record documenting the exact meaning of PTI 961. You can read the
details of Lukasiak's investigation here:
http://www.glcq.com/pti_961.htm

So that is why we are turning to you.

We are looking for SOMEONE with knowledge of Air Force regulations in
the 1960's or 1970's. You might BE such a person - or you might KNOW
such a person - or you might know someone ELSE who knows such a person.

We are offering a $1000 REWARD for anyone who can authoritatively
document the meaning of PTI 961, so we can definitively refute Bush's LIE
that he "fulfilled his obligations."

If you know the answer and want to claim the reward - or if you have
ideas on how we can find it - post it here:

Finally, feel free to share this with the mainstream media. Even though
the Swift Boat lies have dominated news shows for months, the media has
resolutely ignored Bush's AWOL for 4 years - but miracles do happen!

2. Petition for a Bi-Partisan Presidential Recount Commission

As Election Day nears, both candidates are fielding armies of lawyers
to wage legal warfare - in the same Republican-controlled courts that
failed American Democracy in 2000.

Dozens of lawsuits have already been filed over pre-election issues
like voter registration, provisional ballots, and electronic voting
machines.

There must be a better way to resolve disputes over the election of the
leader of the greatest Democracy in history.

We cannot endure another prolonged recount battle that results ANOTHER
appointment of President by a partisan Republican Supreme Court.

We, the People, call for the immediate creation of a Bi-Partisan
Presidential Recount Commission to resolve all disputes related to the
election of the President of the United States in 2004 - IF the winner is in
serious dispute when the polls close on Election Day.

Read the details and sign the petition!

Once again, thank you for all you do to promote democracy, justice, and
truth.

1. Wouldn't Miss Knox, Col. Killian's secretary, be

an appropriate person to ask? She seemed like the sort who would even keep old manuals.

2. Hell, there has to be a lot of people out there who know the answer to

this mystery. Where are they? Don't they understand that it would be an act of patriotism and honor to expose this liar?

I passed this e-mail around when I got it. What we need is someone who processed exit papers for the TANG back around that time. They'd know.

3. UNFIT FOR SERVICE - THE MYSTERY OF PTI 961 SOLVED

Paul Lukasiak
New information with regard to the meaning of a special code which appears on George W. Bush’s Air National Guard discharge papers indicates that he was being thrown out of the Air National Guard for failing “to possess the required military qualifications for his grade or specialty, or does not meet the mental, moral, professional or physical standards of the Air Force.”

In other words, despite the fact that Bush had an unfulfilled six year Military Service Obligation, he was discharged from the Air National Guard not because he moved to Boston, but because he failed to meet his obligation to maintain his qualifications as an F102 pilot.

4. In my capacity as a company clerk (and mail clerk), I realized

how serious the Army was/is with the so-called Army regs (regulations). Each day I received a ton of them and had to sort out which had to be kept at the company level and which needed to be filed elsewhere -- trash. All of them are kept somewhere. I think the code must be buried in the appropriate reg. What about a foia for the old regs? I could not have been the first to think of this. Getting short (election) must be the problem.
