Here is an interesting history of some of Philip J. Berg’s politically driven spurious lawsuits.
Here’s more about Berg:
(Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania – 01/04/07) – Philip J. Berg, Esquire,
[Berg is a former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania; former
candidate for Governor and U.S. Senate; an attorney with offices in
Montgomery County, PA and an active practice in Philadelphia, PA, who
prior hereto has filed a RICO lawsuit against Bush and others for the
events of 9/11 and plans to re-file shortly] announced today that he
was issuing a call for world leaders to arrest and try Bush and Cheney
for the global crimes of 9/11/01.
Philip J. Berg, Esquire stated in a letter to the nations throughout
the world:
“It is time for the nations of the world to come forth and take the
leadership because of the failure of the United States Government and
the States where crimes were committed on 09/11/01, where no thorough
investigation and indictments occurred, to investigate, arrest and
prosecute the people responsible for the murders on 9/11/01,
specifically including George W. Bush and Richard Cheney.”
Berg sounds quite confident there, but when it comes to specifics, he
vacillates a bit:
Berg continued there is overwhelming evidence that:
“Bush and his cronies made 9/11 happen or let it happen. And, if they
let it happen, then they made it happen. Either way, they are
responsible; and more important, they have completely and
unequivocally covered-it-up!”
Berg continues:
” Now, it is time for world leaders to take the lesson learned from
Iraq and issue a warrant for the arrest of George W. Bush and Richard
Cheney; arrest them; take them to a neutral country; try them for the
murder of over 2,800 people from more than 80 countries on 9/11/01
and, when found guilty, sentence them appropriately. Jurisdiction
would be proper in any of the more than 80 countries whose citizens
were murdered on 9/11. ”
Yeah, just arrest them!
Berg’s a nutbar Bush-hater from way back; in 2001 he asked Supreme
Court Justices Thomas, Scalia and O’Connor to voluntarily disbar
themselves for their decision in Bush v. Gore. He also sued President
Bush in 2004 under a RICO lawsuit on behalf of Willie Rodriguez.
Berg is the nutball attorney who sued President-elect Obama, claiming
that Obama was sired by the great racehorse Secretariat and a
Norwegian mare. Here’s more about Berg:

Philip J. Berg, Esq. Seeking the “Truth of 9/11″
Calls on World Community To Arrest and Try Bush & Cheney for Global
Crimes of 9/11
Philip J. Berg, Esquire
Philip J. Berg, Esquire, [Berg is a former Deputy Attorney General of
Pennsylvania; former candidate for Governor and U.S. Senate; an
attorney with offices in Montgomery County, PA and an active practice
in Philadelphia, PA, who prior hereto has filed a RICO lawsuit against
Bush and others for the events of 9/11 and plans to re-file shortly]
announced today that he was issuing a call for world leaders to arrest
and try Bush and Cheney for the global crimes of 9/11/01.
Philip J. Berg, Esquire stated in a letter to the nations throughout
the world:
“It is time for the nations of the world to come forth and take the
leadership because of the failure of the United States Government and
the States where crimes were committed on 09/11/01, where no thorough
investigation and indictments occurred, to investigate, arrest and
prosecute the people responsible for the murders on 9/11/01,
specifically including George W. Bush and Richard Cheney. ”
Berg continued there is overwhelming evidence that:
“Bush and his cronies made 9/11 happen or let it happen. And, if they
let it happen, then they made it happen. Either way, they are
responsible; and more important, they have completely and
unequivocally covered-it-up!”
Berg’s letter went on to say:
“The trial and execution of Saddam Hussein marks the “end of a
difficult year for the Iraqi people and for our troops” according to
President Bush.
Now, it is time for world leaders to take the lesson learned from Iraq
and issue a warrant for the arrest of George W. Bush and Richard
Cheney; arrest them; take them to a neutral country; try them for the
murder of over 2,800 people from more than 80 countries on 9/11/01
and, when found guilty, sentence them appropriately. Jurisdiction
would be proper in any of the more than 80 countries whose citizens
were murdered on 9/11.
Despite a near-complete corporate media embargo on the wealth of
evidence indicating that the 9/11 attacks were caused or knowingly
permitted to happen by top figures in the Administration and the
military, 84 % of the U.S. public, according to an October 2006 CBS/NY
Times poll, is unconvinced by the “Official Story,” and agrees that
the President and others caused or allowed the attacks to happen.
That an event such as 9/11 was desired by powerful Administration
figures, including Cheney and Jeb Bush, the President’s brother, is a
matter of record, as the Project for the New American Century’s [PNAC]
blueprint for worldwide U.S. dominance entitled “Rebuilding America’s
Defenses,” stated that the program they advocated could win popular
support only with the help of a “catastrophic and catalyzing event,
like a new Pearl Harbor” which (we are supposed to believe to be
coincidence) came to pass just 8 months after many of the co-signers
of the PNAC document assumed high positions in the new Bush
Administration in January 2001.
As President John F. Kennedy stated, “Things do not just happen; they
are made to happen.” There has never been an investigation of 9/11
that had not concluded, before it even began, that the Official Story
convicting Osama bin Laden and absolving the Administration and the
military of complicity of anything worse than “intelligence failures,”
which thereby made the outcome a foregone conclusion.
It is time that the men who had the motive, means and the opportunity
to commit the terrible crimes of 9/11, and who have profited by it
politically as well as financially, be exposed for their role and held
to account.
The world has suffered since the horrific acts of Bush and his cronies
on 9/11, that being the events of 9/11 and the aftermath, the illegal
act of war against Afghanistan and Iraq that has caused the death and
injury of hundreds of thousands, including thousands of U.S. troops;
the destruction of property and the enormous costs involved.
Saddam was tried, found guilty and sentenced to death after being
convicted of murder in the killings of 148 Shiite Muslims from an
Iraqi town where assassins tried to kill him in 1982. This number of
killings that Saddam Hussein was found guilty of is far less than Bush
and his cronies caused to die on 9/11.
The 148 Iraqi deaths for which Saddam was tried pales in number to the
750,000 dead at the hands of George W. Bush as a result of this
illegal invasion of that country which includes babies, sons,
daughters, mothers, fathers, elderly grandmothers and grandfathers,
killed without remorse by George W. Bush and his war profiteering
supporters.
Bush continues the war in Iraq to keep the world’s attention there and
not on the atrocities caused by him on 9/11, including the possibility
of Bush sending up to 40,000 more troops to Iraq, even though a
majority of the American people are against this increase.
The world must act now because our own government has failed us. We
cannot relent until real justice is reached. Only by exposing the
truth of 9/11 and revealing how it was used as the “trigger event” to
justify the neocon’s imperial policy can we put these events in proper
prospective.”
