“Adolf Hitler claimed that communists burned down the Reichstag and that Polish troops had crossed the frontier and attacked Germany. With 9/11 americans experienced Washington’s version of these grand lies. An omniscient bin Laden dying from terminal illnesses in distant Afghanistan defeated the American National Security State and drove his attack through the walls of the Pentagon itself, requiring for our defense a “war on terror” that destroyed US civil liberties and financially ruined the country in order to prevent the triumph of a man who died of natural causes in December 2001.” – Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, “The Osama bin Laden Myth.”

The 9/11 controversy has already been settled. Objective, honest, and rational observers from around the world all agree that the official version of the events is a hoax. The governments of the U.S. and Israel were behind the 9/11 atrocities, not Al-Qaeda.

The return of truth and reason to public life has officially marked the end of 9/11 conspiracy theories. Those who deny the truthful account of 9/11 can do so until they’re blue in the face, but they will go nowhere because the facts are not on their side. And we live in a world of facts, do we not?

Deniers can save a lot of energy and time by accepting the reality of 9/11 instead of sticking mindlessly with the official story that only serves to justify war and tyranny.

Defending a bankrupt myth like 9/11 is impossible in the 21st century. Such a grand task was only doable by ancient wisdom priests who governed a universe that was defined by symbolic illiteracy, mass ignorance, and authoritarian rule.

Although our universe is not much different, due in large part to the hypnotic influence that the television and mainstream media has on the public mind, it is a mistake for modern day rulers to believe that they have the public in the palm of their hands like ancient rulers. The restricted public access to knowledge in the ancient world has been replaced with limitless access in our time.

The free and open Internet has aided in the creation of a vibrant, alternative, and parallel universe that has intellectually advanced light years beyond the propagandistic parameters of the limited, sterile, mainstream universe. There is a new global public, mostly young and technologically savvy, which the governments of the world cannot control, not with totalitarian propaganda nor force.

II. The Deception Cliff

There is a mantra in Washington that has taken on like wildfire. It is the “fiscal cliff.” GOP and Democratic cult leaders are throwing this word around Capitol Hill like it is the end of the world. “Oh my god, give us all your money middle class slaves, or else we will fall off the fiscal cliff.”

The criminal international banksters are relaxing in the fiscal himalayas, sliding down mountains of taxpayers cash, while their bought and paid for representatives are screaming about an imaginary fiscal cliff. Talk about bizarre.

“Fiscal Cliff” is an attention grabber, that’s for sure. But if politicians and media propagandists are truly concerned about America’s well-being they should be talking about the “Deception Cliff.”

What is the Deception Cliff?

It is the point when the U.S. government cannot lie anymore and must tell the truth or it will collapse and fall into the rubble of history. The real deception cliff poses a bigger national security threat to the United States than the imaginary fiscal cliff.

After the deception cliff is the credibility cliff. The hijacked U.S. government is barely hanging on. It believes money can fix everything. But that is a serious delusion. A trustworthy government is better than a rich government. Trust is a more valuable possession than money. The Federal Reserve’s worthless money isn’t going to last forever, especially not when corrupt liars are in charge. If a government is ruled by honest stewards of the public treasury then a country can deal with any national disaster successfully.

In the past, Washington was able to deceive the American people at will. But all that changed with the Benghazi attack. The story of the Benghazi attack on September 11, 2012, was deliberately made up by the Obama administration. This was nothing new, but very much part of the pattern. The White House also lied about Bin Laden’s death, and the 9/11 events.

What made Benghazi different is that Republicans wanted to make Obama look bad to win back the White House, so they questioned every part of the official story. In the process, they have put the entire U.S. foreign policy establishment on trial with their statements and actions. By unraveling the myth of Benghazi in the public mind, the Republicans have made it acceptable to unravel the myths of 9/11 and Bin Laden.

It’s not even fun to question the U.S. government anymore. If John McCain is an anti-government rebel all of a sudden, questioning every piece of news about the Benghazi attack, then that puts him in the company of truthers and “fringe conspiracy theorists.” Don’t you remember when it was just the little good guys versus the big bad mainstream propagandists and government decepticons?

Benghazi changed everything. Today, the Senate is filled with conspiracy theorists trying to bring down Obama and his national security team. It is ordinary to question official White House statements. There is nothing fringe about it. Everyone is a conspiracy theorist now.

At the moment, all the public questioning is aimed at the Benghazi attack. But, who knows, 9/11 could be next, followed by the official cover story of Bin Laden’s death.

What does all this mean?

The era of conspiracy theories and government mind control is coming to an end. We are entering the era of truth and transparency.

We Are All Conspiracy Theorists Now: The Mainstreaming of 9/11 Truth.

MARCH 29, 2012

We Are All Conspiracy Theorists Now: The Mainstreaming of 9/11 Truth

“Our leaders do not control the tides of history — they are just surfing them. They are doing their best to keep on top of them. They do not make the tides — the tides of history come from a million different vectors: our advancing technology, our advancing worldview. These are the things that actually make a difference to the flow of history, and our leaders try to sit on top of it, and perhaps try to give the impression that they are controlling it, but history’s history. Time and tide — they don’t pay much attention to any human leader.” – Alan Moore. This is quote is from Professor Sean Carney’s essay, “The Tides of History: Alan Moore’s Historiographic Vision.”

Although 9/11 truth is still a red line in mainstream Western political discourse, the boundaries of discussion about the attacks are harder to enforce in the global alternative media, whose positive influence on public debate is rapidly expanding.

The global 9/11 truth and justice movement is not going away because it is based in reality and history. One of these days, it will become politically safe for mainstream organizations, journalists, and politicians to demand a new international investigation into the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth is one of the organizations that is leading the charge in educating the global public about the scientific evidence behind the 9/11 truth and accountability movement. Its founder Richard Gage is currently on a lecture tour in Canada. He was recently interviewedby Victoria Handysides of Canada’s Here Magazine. Here is an excerpt from her article called, “Truther disputes 9-11 attack”:

Gage and his supporters don’t consider themselves conspiracy theorists. They don’t claim to know why alleged demolitions were orchestrated or by who, and their findings are based on technical data and tangible evidence.

“We’ll let the chips fall where they may,” he said.

The group’s evidence has been largely ignored by congress and mass media, which leads Gage to believe that the U.S. government “has something to hide.”

The issue isn’t just an American one, Gage says. He’s calling on Canadians to sign a petition that his group will submit to Canadian parliament, asking for a full investigation of 9/11 considering their findings.

“Canadians were also manipulated into war based on the falsified event known as 9-11, which was designed, apparently, to manipulate the people to invade Afghanistan and ultimately Iraq,” he said. “…All are affected by the state of permanent war, known as the ‘War on Terror’ as a result.”

The Canadian petition that Gage referred to in the article was started by 911 Justice Canada. Here is an excerpt from the mission statement on its website:

“Our mission is to achieve a new and truly independent investigation surrounding the events of September 11th (9/11 events), through an international partnership.

Canada and the United States have a long history of partnerships in times of war and peace. Canada has its own origin and history which give unique strength to our politics and national identity. Through the new 9/11 Justice Canada, we will share our strength and resources to assist our American partners with their important goals regarding scientific evidence about the 9/11 events. Equally, Canadians will finally be able to understand and grapple with what happened on September 11th and how 24 of its citizens were killed. Concerned citizens and all political parties will benefit greatly from the enormous body of scientific research organized by a group supported by over1600 professional architects & engineers who are calling for a new investigation into what exactly happened at the World Trade Center on 9/11.”

The democratic force of civil society as symbolized by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth and 911 Justice Canada has been suppressed with all means possible by the governments of America, Israel, Canada, England, France, other governments, and the United Nations. We also know for certain that there has been a systematic subversion and depoliticization of global civil society by the fascist U.S. National Security State and its criminal partners in Israel and around the world.

Most of the rank and file of the left in North America and the West are silent on the subject of 9/11 because they blindly follow their leaders, who are keeping them in the dark. The most dangerous and anti-democratic rhetorical tool of thought control is the blanket label of “conspiracy theory.” This thought-killing label is repeated in the mainstream chorus in the ongoing political drama known as history.

The mainstream chorus is anti-reality, anti-truth, anti-debate, anti-democracy, anti-freedom, and anti-humanity. It acts as a mass spell over the populations of America, Israel, and the Western world. The lyrics and labels in the mainstream chorus such as “9/11 was an outside job, you are just a conspiracy theorist,” are based on pure fantasy and written by evil tyrants who believe America, the Middle East, and the whole world belongs to them.

The purpose of the mainstream chorus in Western society is to hypnotize the people, and push evil events like 9/11 and 7/7 that were committed by American, British, and Israeli secret intelligence agencies to the sidelines of politically acceptable public discourse. According to the mainstream chorus, only the crazies and paranoid freaks congregate to the field outside of the mainstream, where they espouse deranged conspiracy theories because of their mental imbalance and fragile psyche.

But, by now, most of us know that the deceptive mainstream chorus is complete baloney. It is being listened to by fewer and fewer people. Their ears are no longer held hostage by the government sorcerers and voodoo media pundits who repeat the mainstream chorus whenever the subject of 9/11 truth is brought up for discussion and debate.

The mainstreaming of 9/11 truth cannot be stopped. It is part of a larger spiritual, cultural, and political awakening that is leading to individual empowerment and peaceful, democratic change in America, Israel, and the Western world. And this global awakening is totally spontaneous and uncontrollable by autocratic Western governments.

As the writer Alan Moore said, “Our leaders do not control the tides of history — they are just surfing them.” History is bigger than any conspiracy theory, or political cabal. The truth about the false flag 9/11 attacks cannot be suppressed, silenced, and ridiculed out of existence. To even attempt it shows how delusional and insane our governments really are. It is like blocking out the sun and replacing its natural sunshine with the artificial light of an Empire. It is absolutely crazy.

As the dark truth about 9/11 enters mainstream consciousness, sanity will be restored in our countries and also in our personal lives. At a certain point in the near future, we will all identify ourselves as conspiracy theorists because it is now identified with truth-telling and free-thinking. So, do not be ashamed to call yourself a conspiracy theorist or a 9/11 truther. Embrace it.

Conspiracy Theorists/Truth-Tellers Deserve An Apology.

JULY 19, 2012

Conspiracy Theorists Deserve An Apology

 The world must apologize to 9/11 truth-tellers.

The reason why there is so much hate and scorn for 9/11 truth activists is because they are right and consistent. The destruction of the 9/11 myth and war on terror ideology is unbearable for the children who are emotionally, spiritually, and psychologically attached to the U.S. government and the Israeli government. They are under the delusion that these evil governments actually care about them, their security, and their future.

The mature men and women of America and the West are waking up and confronting the lies of 9/11 and 7/7. And this political awakening is not unique to America and Western civilization. There is a global political and spiritual awakening happening. All totalitarian regimes in the world will fail in hijacking history and they will fall into ruin. The state terrorists in Washington, London, and Tel Aviv have already lost the battle for history and the souls of mankind.

Alternative accounts of history and reality under totalitarian regimes have always been denounced by regime political mouthpieces as crazy and conspiratorial. And they always failed because truth and history were not on their side. The crazy and the conspiratorial were proven right in the end. This is what history shows, and especially the history of the demonic 20th century. So we should have hope and continue to speak the truth about 9/11 to wake up as many people as possible before the U.S. and Israeli governments blow up the whole world.

II. Unthinking and Regressive: Think Progress Attacks 9/11 Truth, Drudge Report, And Infowars 

The political mouthpiece of the Obama administration called ‘Think Progress’ tried to shame and belittle Drudge Report for highlighting Infowars stories. Paul Joseph Watson writes in his article, “Obama Front Group Attacks Drudge For Linking To Infowars”:

“Think Progress is a little more than a PR firm for the Obama administration. No wonder they are so terrified that thanks to traffic from Drudge, the likes of Infowars and World Net Daily have grown to become two of the most visible anti-Obama news outlets on the web.

Think Progress claims it is upset that Drudge is promoting what they call “conspiracy theories,” but in reality the root of the anger is that Drudge is providing a platform for some of the Obama administration’s most ardent critics.”

Think Progress is not worth talking about. It is an irrelevant thought-control political operation. Their reporters defend myths and fallacies while putting down truth-tellers as conspiracy theorists. What they are doing is not only unjust but just plain stupid. They are embarrassing themselves. It is actually very sad.

Truth is more powerful than totalitarian propaganda. The mainstreaming of the 9/11 truth movement is unstoppable. 9/11 truth deniers should rejoin reality and admit that it is wrong to defend the official conspiracy theory that was spread by the Bush administration and Israeli government quickly after the traumatic events.

III. The Religious Nature of The 9/11 Deception and Propaganda

Author and Christian theologian David Ray Griffin explained why the belief in the official conspiracy theory of 9/11 is religious in nature in his lecture in October 2007 called, “9-11 and Nationalistic Faith.” Griffin was recently interviewed by Jan Frel of AlterNet in an article called, “David Ray Griffin: How a Retired Theologian Became a High-Priest of the 9/11 Truth Movement.” Describing Dr. Griffin as a “High-Priest,” suggesting that the 9/11 truth movement is somehow a new age mystery cult, is really aiming low.

9/11 truth has nothing to do with religion or priests. Scientific facts are the basis of the movement. Architects, engineers, chemists, scientists, and university professors are the leading spokespeople. Religious figures like Dr. Griffin have contributed great wisdom and understanding but to imply that the 9/11 truth movement is led by “priests” is a lie.

Priests are nowhere to be found in the 9/11 truth movement and that’s okay because they are not needed. They are too busy defending evil empires on the pulpit and sacrificing moral principles for temporary power. Their days as the rulers of the spiritual life of Western civilization have come and gone.

Dr. Griffin is a noble exception, but, in general, Christianity has proven to be useless, corrupt, stupid, blind, and power-driven. The same is true for every other moronic religion that makes individuals submit their heart and soul to a corrupt clergy. The majority of Christians are too obsessed about the second coming and the holiness of Israel to really understand that 9/11 was an inside job committed by the occult elite in America and Israel. They don’t want to admit that the criminal wars in the Middle East have nothing to do with defending the security of USrael.

What do priests and religious idiots offer humanity and the world? Nothing. They are absent in the battle for souls and the battle for freedom because they are corrupt, blind, and stupid. Expecting Christians to fight the totalitarian state and liberate America is laughable. I’m generalizing here, but Christians, Muslims, and religious Jews are the most tyrannical, greedy, hypocritical, hateful, soulless, and ungrateful people in the world. They want to have a monopoly on the human soul and human mind. What maniacs! And the totalitarian priests who head the CIA and Mossad are just as crazy and demented because they also want to monopolize the thoughts of citizens and control the growth of society.

The role of blind religious faith in preventing people from seeing the truth about 9/11 is big. American Christians, who have bought USrael’s propaganda and blindly accept the official 9/11 story, feel no shame in calling for the destruction of Iran and the Muslim world. They make me sick. They don’t realize that they’re bringing destruction upon themselves by calling for the destruction of other nations and civilizations. As they say, what goes around comes around. If warmongering American Christians want death and destruction so much then they will get it in plenty, except the fires of hell won’t burn in the Middle East alone, but in America as well.

IV. Conspiracy Theorists And 9/11 Truthers Deserve An Apology

Who is trying to stop World War III and wake the West up from its sleep? Progressives? No. Liberals? No. Conservatives? No. Christians? No. Journalists? No. They all believe in the official 9/11 deception, which is the ideological foundation that justifies USrael’s aggressive wars in the Middle East.

9/11 truth-tellers, the “conspiracy theorists,” have tried to wake up humanity in order to stop the USraeli government from starting the catastrophe of world war three. And for their efforts they have been slandered and smeared in the press. But the 9/11 truth movement still continues to grow by the day.

There is a simple reason why the rise of 9/11 truth cannot be contained by the USraeli government, and it is this: the age of slandering and smearing is over. Belittling people by calling them mentally ill conspiracy theorists and truthers is not working anymore. We embrace these terms. We are proud of being called conspiracy theorists because it means we’re thinking.

Slandering and smearing Infowars and other alternative news websites is futile. It is a waste of time. Censorship, disinformation, and propaganda are failing. The global free market and global civil society have spoken. People want the news, not smears; truth, not lies; facts, not totalitarian propaganda; freedom, not tyranny; peace, not war.

5 Reasons Why Conspiracy Theorists Are More Popular Than You Think.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2012

5 Reasons Why Conspiracy Theorists Are More Popular Than You Think

 Telling the truth is popular.

1. Public opinion polls show that the majority of Americans and Westerners agree with the views of “conspiracy theorists” more than those of government officials and media personalities. 

Public opinion polls show that public trust in government and the media is at an all time low. Their record of lying to the Western public is difficult to conceal, even with the biggest propaganda machine in history at their disposal. The growth and influence of the global alternative media has broken the magic spell over the public. The “mainstream media” is no longer mainstream. The old fringe is the new mainstream.

Conspiracy theorists have been proven right about so many issues and historical events, with 9/11 being the most important among them. The views of conspiracy theorists are more popular than ever because they are telling the truth.

Jesse Ventura, former Governor of Minnesota, tested this truth with a live CNN audience on Piers Morgan’s show on Monday, September 17, 2012. At the 11:45 mark in this video, Piers Morgan tells Jesse Ventura, “I think you make some very sensible points and you make some crackpot points.” Ventura responds, “That’s your opinion,” and then asks the live audience, “How many people here think I make crackpot points?” One person puts up his hand. He follows up, asking, “How many think I make sensible points?” The audience cheers and claps. Ventura turns to Morgan and says, “You’re in the minority, my good friend.”

2. The label “conspiracy theorist” has been used to death, and it is no longer effective in sidelining anti-government narratives to the fringe of public thought and public discourse. 

Honest Western intellectuals have caught on to the fact that the label“conspiracy theorist” is ridiculously overused in Western public discourse and serves no other purpose than to marginalize dissent. The label is used by abusive government officials and media personalities to subvert the democratic will of the American people and attack the credibility of dissidents.

It is a sign of social progress and intellectual development that more people are aware of the true intentions behind the habitual use of this totalitarian label by the government and media.

3. The global alternative media is raising the political consciousness of America and the West, and liberating millions from a propaganda prison whose bars are made of language and official narratives.

The reasons why people reject conspiracy theories are more well known today because of the Internet and global alternative media. This profound change has had the effect of creating a highly self-aware and super-conscious public that cannot be easily fooled into believing government false flags and deceptions as it was before.

Millions of thoughtful individuals are learning to treat anti-government narratives rationally and maturely, whereas in the past they used to stick the label “conspiracy theory” on them and didn’t take them seriously. In the new language of mental resistance to government oppression, the term “conspiracy theory” is not applicable to alternative readings of history and alternative interpretations of current events.

4. The contradictions within mainstream narratives are harder to gloss over than before. 

It is impossible to keep track of all the official deceptions. Recent revelations in Libya and Syria have put mainstream narratives of the conflicts taking place there into question. After unofficially arming and financing Al-Qaeda affiliated groups in both countries, certain Western policy makers and their counterparts in Israel and the Arab monarchies are dishonestly making the argument that the growth of radical Islam demands greater Western intervention.

But their manipulative policy is the reason why the influence of radical Islamists is growing in the Arab world, so their case for more war is built on sand and illusion.

In this new information environment, conspiracy theorists are able to make the case that their interpretations of epoch-making historical events are factually correct by providing evidence and historical analysis to back up their controversial statements.

5. The growth of the public intelligence community over the last several years is counter-balancing the power of anti-freedom forces in secret intelligence communities and their spies in the corporate media. 

From now on, conspiracy theorists should be described as public intelligence analysts. We are part of a public intelligence community whose headquarters is the entire world. The public intelligence community has bases in North America, Europe, Latin America, Africa, China, Russia, and the Middle East. Our loyalty is to truth, freedom, and peace. We investigate reality to serve humanity, and bring nations together under the banner of peace and co-existence.

Public intelligence analysts such as Webster Tarpley, Thierry Meyssan, Alex Jones, Tony Cartalucci, David Icke, Gerald Celente, Paul Craig Roberts, and many others are destroying deceptive mainstream narratives that have been created to justify needless conflict between countries and civilizations.

The global 9/11 truth and justice movement is the fruit of the public intelligence community. And it will grow exponentially as more people wake up and look into the 9/11 events with a more critical eye.

Conclusion: The propaganda paradigm is collapsing. The truth about 9/11 is surfacing to global collective consciousness. Be optimistic about the future. The answers are staring us in the face. The solutions are in front of us. All we have to do is look.

Why People Reject Conspiracy Theories

“On his Infowars.com Web site, Jones headlines his page with “Because There Is a War on for Your Mind.” True enough, which is why science and reason must always prevail over fear and irrationality, and conspiracy mongering traffics in the latter at the expense of the former.” – Michael Shermer, “Why People Believe Conspiracy Theories,” Scientific American, August 18, 2012.

“The repression and revised imposition of September 11th and the attendant “war on terror” on the public mind have important implications not only for the integrity of public discourse, but also for the collective sanity of western culture and civilization. As crafted by dominant news media 9/11 has become the cracked lens through which we view and conceive of our own history, identity, and purpose. Each act of subverting or evading factual accounts of actually existing events manifests itself as a small fissure in the broader edifice of truth and rationality. So does it also contribute to furthering the designs of broader forces seeking to build a once seemingly pretend brave new world.” – Prof. James F. Tracy, “9/11 Truth, Inner Consciousness and the “Public Mind,” Global Research, March 18, 2012.

The mocking of conspiracy theories in the American press and Western media is based on the simplistic argument that reason is on the side of the government and officialdom, not on the fringe of society and civilization.

Anti-conspiracy proponents ludicrously claim that conspiracy theorists are prey to paranoia and irrational thinking without explaining their own faulty reasoning. They put a huge emphasis on labels and none on facts. But they’re not unique. Apparently, name-calling is enough to win a court case in a 21st century American courtroom.

Let’s set aside the mockery and look at the real picture. In the court of world public opinion, 9/11 truth has already won.

The truth is that 9/11 “conspiracy theorists” [read truth-tellers] are not the irrational party in the debate about what happened on 9/11, for the facts of history are on their side and no one with an honest intellect can say otherwise.

Since most people are not persuaded by facts but by fear, they blindly reject the truth about 9/11 and accuse the truth-tellers of being irrational, conspiratorial, and paranoid.

In addition to fear, there are four other reasons why people reject conspiracy theories in a wholesale manner, especially the fact-based claims made by the global 9/11 truth and justice movement. Below I’ve stated each reason in bold and briefly elaborated on them.

1. Fear. There are many dimensions to how fear blocks people from discovering, accepting, and telling the truth about 9/11.

The first dimension is cosmic. The official story about the most important socio-political event in modern history has been burned into the heart of American culture and Western civilization. America’s image of itself is wrapped up with the 9/11 fairy tale. For many, the fear of challenging the authenticity of the story is related to the fear of shaking up the cosmological scenery within one’s own mind that has been constructed by political leaders and the television.

The second dimension is social. People have a basic fear; they don’t want to be associated with those “crazy conspiracy theorists and their paranoid views.” They want to stay within the safety of the tribe, and disowning the most sacred myths of one’s tribe goes beyond treachery; it is interpreted as spiritual suicide.

The third dimension is the most obvious one: the fear of death. The government is watching what you say, and read, and it knows what you think and believe. Most people naturally don’t want to stick the bullseye on their chest and yell out in the crowd, “I don’t belong to you because I reject your lies and fables, now come and get me, punks.”

2. Ignorance. Due to the systemic blackout of the evidence showing that the official 9/11 story is a lie, people just don’t know. Not only are they ignorant of the facts underlining the case of the global 9/11 truth and justice movement, but they are ignorant that there is even a media blackout.

Of course, the excuse of ignorance is harder to defend in the era of the Internet and new media. A lot of people who reject conspiracy theories are just too lazy to sit down and do the research for themselves.

3. A False Sense of Superiority And A False Sense of Knowledge.The smugness of 9/11 truth deniers is hard to stomach. They actually look down on new information and new knowledge, which is strange to me. I value learning and am always open to new ideas and new ways of seeing the world.

When I came across ’9/11: The Road to Tyranny’ by Alex Jones in February 2004 I was floored. I remember watching the hanging of Saddam on CNN a few months earlier and thinking, “Wow, this Iraq War turned out to be alright, at least the Iraqi people got to see justice served.” But the discovery that the 9/11 story was an invented fable turned my goodwill towards the American government to absolute rage.

It was easy for me to rethink the purpose of the war on terror upon seeing the real facts about 9/11 laid out for the first time because I’m not an American so I don’t have any emotional stake in what the American government does. Americans are in a much more spiritually difficult place. The sin of 9/11 must be a heavy burden to carry for such a morally minded country and people.

This article is not about judging anyone or any country, but an attempt to understand why people react differently to the same information. Why do some people think they know how the world works and refuse to accept the validity of new worldviews, while others hunger for such awesome discoveries? I know how ignorant I am of the world, of history, and of mankind, so I’m comfortable with letting go of worldviews if the facts don’t fit.

4. Collective Brainwashing. The brainwashing of America, Israel, the West, and the world since the false flag September 11 events is definitely one of the biggest reasons why people reject alternative interpretations of 9/11 and the war on terror. The nations of the world are living inside the big lie offered by the grand decoder of reality, who goes by the political name of the United States government. The spiritual name for this false decoder of reality is Satan, otherwise known as the accuser.

People live, breathe, and eat the 9/11 lie. It is a live virus that is inside their bodily organs and their digestive systems. A teaspoon of reason is not enough to treat the spiritual patient.

5. Institutional Silence And Cover-Up. Academic, media, and governmental institutions in the West have all agreed to keep the truth about 9/11 a secret from the American people and the world.

The culture at the top of the top of modern American society and other societies as well operates on a basic principle: “keep your mouth shut, or else.”

To learn more about the culture of silence in America’s elite institutions, read, “False Flag Terror and Conspiracies of Silence,” by Prof. James F. Tracy, and “Codes of Silence and Child Abuse Cover-Ups: The Sick Underbelly of Institutions in the US,” by Nathalia Jaramillo.

At the top, secrets are kept, knowledge is guarded, and silence is valued.

You Can Laugh At 9/11 Truth-Tellers Till Kingdom Come. But You Can’t Destroy The Truth About 9/11.

“Consciousness has been left at the door.” – Michael Tsarion.

“The world is all the richer for having a devil in it, so long as we keep our foot upon his neck.” –William James.

“Like the Gutenberg Press before it, the Internet Reformation is undermining the established myths that Western elites have concocted in their efforts to create a New World Order. We like to think that the Daily Bell is one modest example.” – The Daily Bell.

“But our present “state” is the dictatorship of evil. “Oh, we’ve known that for a long time,” I hear you object, “and it isn’t necessary to bring that to our attention again.” But, I ask you, if you know that, why do you not bestir yourselves, why do you allow these men who are in power to rob you step by step, openly and in secret, of one domain of your rights after another, until one day nothing, nothing at all will be left but a mechanized state system presided over by criminals and drunks? Is your spirit already so crushed by abuse that you forget it is your right – or rather, your moral duty – to eliminate this system? But if a man no longer can summon the strength to demand his right, then it is absolutely certain that he will perish. We would deserve to be dispersed through the earth like dust before the wind if we do not muster our powers at this late hour and finally find the courage which up to now we have lacked. Do not hide your cowardice behind a cloak of expediency, for with every new day that you hesitate, failing to oppose this offspring of Hell, your guilt, as in a parabolic curve, grows higher and higher.” – The White Rose, The Third Leaflet.

The language of the enemy contains terms like ‘conspiracy theorist’ that are a direct attack on the freedom of thought and insult the intelligence of civil society. We must counter-attack the totalitarian assault on our minds with the conscious use of language: the language of resistance.

You can either embrace the term conspiracy theorist and psychologically flip the language of the enemy to serve freedom, or you can use the language of the resistance, in which the smear term conspiracy theorist is dropped and replaced with the respectable term informed citizen.

We have to be ever mindful of language, especially when it is used to discredit political speech. Language conditions our thought, shapes our outlook, and defines our worldview.

In Islamist language, “infidel” is a perfect example of how one word can limit our understanding of other cultures and our recognition of the worth of other human beings who do not look like us, think like us, and worship like us. In Western language, “conspiracy theorist” is used by government officials, politicians, and the establishment media to turn dissent into paranoia, and truth-telling into a product of mental illness.

Every totalitarian state and cult leader in history has utilized the power of language to set the parameters of thought and public debate. As conscious citizens, we cannot allow language to be diluted, deformed, and debased by the state, politicians, and the establishment media. Once our language goes, so goes our consciousness and our freedoms.

What is needed is a reexamination of the use of the term conspiracy theory and Western political language in general. By restoring the independence of language and removing the parameters of debate set by the totalitarian state, our brainwashed countries will regain the freedom of thought that must be at the core of any free and dignified society.

A radical rethinking of conspiracy theories is already underway globally. Mark Fenster, a professor of law at the University of Florida, argued that there needs to be a rethinking of conspiracy theories in his book,“Conspiracy Theories: Secrecy and Power in American Culture.” In an interview with the journal Rorotoko on January 20, 2009, Fenster explained why he wrote the book, saying:

“First, I argue that the dominant mode of understanding conspiracy theory is flawed. Academics and journalists have wrongly assumed that conspiracy theories are necessarily a pathological cry from the political and social margins. The notion that they and their adherents are “paranoid” is most frequently associated today with the work of Richard Hofstadter, a preeminent American historian in the 1950s and 1960s, who placed conspiracy theories within what he called the “paranoid style in American politics.” Viewed this way, a conspiracy theory is symptomatic of a larger sickness from which the believers suffer, caused in part by their marginal position within society. Conspiracy theories are more complex than this simple story tells—historically, politically, and culturally. They have played a key or at least non-trivial role in many of the social movements throughout American history, from the beginnings of the Republic to the present day. Moreover, conspiracy theories remain remarkably popular. In the political world, politicians and partisans disparage their opponents’ beliefs as conspiracy theory while they maintain that those same opponents are engaged in conspiratorial acts. Do I even need to give examples of how widespread conspiracy theories are in popular culture? Or how in our private conversations we frequently describe dealings in the workplace or in the political world as conspiratorial, whether in jest or in all seriousness? The book’s first claim, then, is critical: we need to rethink the basic conceptual framework by which we understand conspiracy theories.”

In the interview, Professor Fenster said that he doesn’t believe in 9/11 conspiracy theories. Although that’s disappointing, his research and knowledge shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand just because he doesn’t find any merit in the argument that the governments of the U.S. and Israel carried out the 9/11 attacks.

Those of us who have looked at the evidence that’s been gathered by 9/11 truth activists know that U.S. and Israeli officials are sitting on dynamite and keeping the world in the dark. These officials, in cooperation with the establishment media, are waging a sustained and multifaceted psychological war against the global mind, and especially the Western mind.

The Internet is like Zeus’s lightning bolt. It has awakened the globe. The people of the planet have been de-brainwashed thanks to the work done by 9/11 truth-tellers, researchers, authors, activists, lecturers, and groups like Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth.

The Pentagon committed the biggest mistake in its history by deciding to cold-bloodedly kill 3,000 innocent Americans and then use the tragedy to galvanize the American people to take over the world at the behest of evil banksters, war corporations, and Israel.

The military-industrial complex’s war on human consciousness and human enlightenment is failing big time. The global alternative media has exposed its crimes against humanity, especially the two biggest ones: aggressive war and state terrorism.

Washington’s empire of mind control is collapsing.

A recent New York Times/CBS News poll showed that 70 percent of the American people want the government to immediately bring an end to the war in Afghanistan. That number will increase to 99 percent once more people become aware of the evidence that proves the U.S. and Israeli governments orchestrated the 9/11 attacks to mobilize international public opinion to support their radical policies in the Middle East.

9/11 truth conferences like the Toronto Hearings that took place in September 2011 have brought mainstream credibility to the global 9/11 truth and accountability movement. The strength of this movement is that it is educational in nature and not connected to any political party, group, ideology, or cause. And it should remain that way.

9/11 truth-tellers are part of a global grassroots campaign to educate the world about the biggest act of state terrorism in human history, and raise collective human consciousness in the process.

Award-winning Canadian journalist Barrie Zwicker said in 2009 that, “the worldwide 9/11 truth movement is currently the largest investigative journalism project on the planet.”

The global 9/11 truth and accountability movement is not about politics and ideology. It is about restoring the rule of law, public trust in government, and government transparency in America, Israel, and the West.

Victory is more than possible. It is inevitable.

The interview below with Osama bin Laden was conducted by the Karachi, Pakistan, daily newspaper, Ummat and published on September 28, 2001, 17 days after the alleged, but unsubstantiated, al Qaeda attack of September 11, 2001, on the World Trade Center twin towers and Pentagon. The interview was sensational. The alleged “mastermind” of 9/11 said that he and al Qaeda had nothing to do with the 9/11 attack. The British Broadcasting Corporation’s World Monitoring Service had the interview translated into English and made public on September 29, 2001.

Osama bin Laden’s sensational denial was not reported by the US print and TV media. It was not investigated by the executive branch. No one in the US Congress called attention to bin Laden’s refusal of responsibility for the greatest humiliation ever inflicted on a superpower.

To check my memory of the lack of coverage, I googled “Osama bin Laden’s interview denying responsibility for 9/11.” Some Internet sites reproduced the interview, but the only mainstream news source that I found was a 1 minute YouTube video from CNN in which the anchor, after quoting an al Jazeera report of bin Laden’s denial, concludes that “we can all weigh that in the scale of credibility and come to our own conclusions.” In other words, bin Laden had already been demonized, and his denial was not credible.

The sensational news was unfit for US citizens and was withheld from them by the american “free press,” a press free to lie for the government but not to tell the truth.

Obviously, if bin Laden had outwitted not only the National Security Agency, the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the FBI, but also all 16 US intelligence agencies, all intelligence agencies of Washington’s NATO puppet states, Israel’s Mossad, and in addition the National Security Council, NORAD, US air traffic control, and airport security four times on the same morning, it would be the greatest feat in world history, a movement building feat that would have made al Qaeda the most successful anti-imperialist organization in human history, an extraordinary victory over “the great satan” that would have brought millions of new recruits into al Qaeda’s ranks. Yet the alleged “mastermind” denied all responsibility.

I remember decades ago when a terrorist attack occurred in Europe, whether real or an Operation Gladiohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gladio false flag attack, innumerable organizations would claim credit. Perhaps this was the CIA’s way of diverting attention from itself, but it illustrates that every intelligence service understands the value to an organization of claiming credit for a successful attack.Although bin Laden denied responsibility, in 2011 some al Qaeda leaders, realizing the prestige value of the 9/11 attack, claimed credit for the attack and criticized Iranian President Ahmadinejad for questioning the official US story.

Although only a few Americans are aware of the September 28, 2001 interview in which bin Laden states his non-involvement with the 9/11 attacks, many Americans have seen post-2001 videos in which a person alleged to be bin Laden takes credit for the attacks. There are two problems with these videos. Experts have examined them and found them to be fakes, and all of the videos appeared after bin Laden was reported by the Pakistan Observer, the Egyptian press, and Fox News to have died in mid-December, 2001, from lung disease.http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,41576,00.html See also http://www.legitgov.org/News-Bin-Ladens-Death-and-Funeral-December-2001

Bin Laden also suffered from kidney disease. According to a CBS news report on January 28, 2002, Osama bin Laden was hospitalized for dialysis treatment in the Pakistani military hospital in Rawalpindi on September 10, 2001, the day before 9/11. http://www.globalresearch.ca/where-was-osama-on-september-11-2001/3194

Obviously, a man suffering from terminal lung and kidney disease did not survive for another decade to be murdered by a US Navy SEAL team in Abbottabad. A Pakistani TV interview with the neighbor of the alleged “bin Laden compound” exposed the assassination hoax. This sensational interview also went unreported by america’s “free press.” I had the interview translated, and it is available here:
http://www.globalresearch.ca/pakistan-tv-report-contradicts-us-claim-of-bin-laden-s-death/25915 See alsohttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-13329078

Shortly after the alleged assassination 30 members of the SEAL unit died in a mysterious helicopter crash in Afghanistan, and now we learn that not a single one of the thousands of sailors on the aircraft carrier, the USS Carl Vinson, witnessed bin Laden’s alleged burial at sea from that ship. The press reports with a straight face that for unexplained reasons it was kept secret from the ship’s sailors. This is supposed to be the explanation of the sailors’ emails reporting to family and friends that they witnessed no burial at sea. Some speculate that the SEALs were bumped off before their questions to one another, “Were you on that raid?,” reached outside the unit. Apparently, it doesn’t strike the media or the public as strange that the US government captured and killed the terror mastermind without interrogating him and without keeping any evidence or presenting any witnesses to support the assassination claim.

Adolf Hitler claimed that communists burned down the Reichstag and that Polish troops had crossed the frontier and attacked Germany. With 9/11 americans experienced Washington’s version of these grand lies. An omniscient bin Laden dying from terminal illnesses in distant Afghanistan defeated the American National Security State and drove his attack through the walls of the Pentagon itself, requiring for our defense a “war on terror” that destroyed US civil liberties and financially ruined the country in order to prevent the triumph of a man who died of natural causes in December 2001.

Global Research Editor’s Note
We bring to the attention of our readers the following text of Osama bin Laden’s interview with Ummat, a Pakistani daily, published in Karachi on September 28, 2001. It was translated into English by the BBC World Monitoring Service and made public on September 29, 2001.

The authenticity of this interview, which is available in recognized electronic news archives, is confirmed.
Osama bin Laden categorically denies his involvement in the 9/11 attacks.

Bin Laden’s statements in this interview are markedly different from those made in the alleged Osama video tapes.

In this interview, Osama bin Laden exhibits an understanding of US foreign policy. He expresses his views regarding the loss of life on 9/11. He also makes statements as to who, in his opinion, might be the likely perpetrator of the September 11 attacks.

This is an important text which has not been brought to the attention of Western public opinion.

We have highlighted key sections of this interview. It is our hope that the text of this interview, published barely a week before the onset of the war on Afghanistan, will contribute to a better understanding of the history of Al Qaeda, the role of Osama bin Laden and the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

Michel Chossudovsky, May 9, 2011

Full text of September 2001 Pakistani paper’s “exclusive” interview with Usamah Bin-Ladin

Ummat (in Urdu), Karachi, 28 September 2001, pp. 1 and 7. http://ummatpublication.com/2012/11/25/

Ummat’s introduction

Kabul: Prominent Arab mojahed holy warrior Usamah Bin-Ladin has said that he or his al-Qa’idah group has nothing to do with the 11 September suicidal attacks in Washington and New York. He said the US government should find the attackers within the country. In an exclusive interview with daily “Ummat”, he said these attacks could be the act of those who are part of the American system and are rebelling against it and working for some other system. Or, Usamah said, this could be the act of those who want to make the current century a century of conflict between Islam and Christianity. Or, the American Jews, who are opposed to President Bush ever since the Florida elections, might be the masterminds of this act. There is also a great possibility of the involvement of US intelligence agencies, which need billions of dollars worth of funds every year. He said there is a government within the government in the United States.

The secret agencies, he said, should be asked as to who are behind the attacks. Usamah said support for attack on Afghanistan was a matter of need for some Muslim countries and compulsion for others. However, he said, he was thankful to the courageous people of Pakistan who erected a bulwark before the wrong forces. He added that the Islamic world was attaching great expectations with Pakistan and, in time of need, “we will protect this bulwark by sacrificing of lives”.

Following is the interview in full detail:

Ummat: You have been accused of involvement in the attacks in New York and Washington. What do you want to say about this? If you are not involved, who might be?

Usamah [Osama bin Laden]: In the name of Allah, the most beneficent, the most merciful. Praise be to Allah, Who is the creator of the whole universe and Who made the earth as an abode for peace, for the whole mankind. Allah is the Sustainer, who sent Prophet Muhammad for our guidance. I am thankful to the Ummat Group of Publications, which gave me the opportunity to convey my viewpoint to the people, particularly the valiant and Momin true Muslim people of Pakistan who refused to believe in lie of the demon.

I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States. As a Muslim, I try my best to avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of innocent women, children, and other humans as an appreciable act. Islam strictly forbids causing harm to innocent women, children, and other people.

Such a practice is forbidden ever in the course of a battle. It is the United States, which is perpetrating every maltreatment on women, children, and common people of other faiths, particularly the followers of Islam. All that is going on in Palestine for the last 11 months is sufficient to call the wrath of God upon the United States and Israel.

There is also a warning for those Muslim countries, which witnessed all these as a silent spectator. What had earlier been done to the innocent people of Iraq, Chechnya, and Bosnia?

Only one conclusion could be derived from the indifference of the United States and the West to these acts of terror and the patronage of the tyrants by these powers that America is an anti-Islamic power and it is patronizing the anti-Islamic forces. Its friendship with the Muslim countries is just a show, rather deceit. By enticing or intimidating these countries, the United States is forcing them to play a role of its choice. Put a glance all around and you will see that the slaves of the United States are either rulers or enemies of Muslims.

The US has no friends, nor does it want to keep any because the prerequisite of friendship is to come to the level of the friend or consider him at par with you. America does not want to see anyone equal to it. It expects slavery from others. Therefore, other countries are either its slaves or subordinates.

However, our case is different. We have pledged slavery to God Almighty alone and after this pledge there is no possibility to become the slave of someone else. If we do that, it will be disregardful to both our Sustainer and his fellow beings. Most of the world nations upholding their freedom are the religious ones, which are the enemies of United States, or the latter itself considers them as its enemies. Or the countries, which do not agree to become its slaves, such as China, Iran, Libya, Cuba, Syria, and the former Russia as received.

Whoever committed the act of 11 September are not the friends of the American people. I have already said that we are against the American system, not against its people, whereas in these attacks, the common American people have been killed.

According to my information, the death toll is much higher than what the US government has stated. But the Bush administration does not want the panic to spread. The United States should try to trace the perpetrators of these attacks within itself; the people who are a part of the US system, but are dissenting against it. Or those who are working for some other system; persons who want to make the present century as a century of conflict between Islam and Christianity so that their own civilization, nation, country, or ideology could survive. They can be any one, from Russia to Israel and from India to Serbia. In the US itself, there are dozens of well-organized and well-equipped groups, which are capable of causing a large-scale destruction. Then you cannot forget the American Jews, who are annoyed with President Bush ever since the elections in Florida and want to avenge him.

Then there are intelligence agencies in the US, which require billions of dollars worth of funds from the Congress and the government every year. This funding issue was not a big problem till the existence of the former Soviet Union but after that the budget of these agencies has been in danger.

They needed an enemy. So, they first started propaganda against Usamah and Taleban and then this incident happened. You see, the Bush administration approved a budget of 40bn dollars. Where will this huge amount go? It will be provided to the same agencies, which need huge funds and want to exert their importance.

Now they will spend the money for their expansion and for increasing their importance. I will give you an example. Drug smugglers from all over the world are in contact with the US secret agencies. These agencies do not want to eradicate narcotics cultivation and trafficking because their importance will be diminished. The people in the US Drug Enforcement Department are encouraging drug trade so that they could show performance and get millions of dollars worth of budget. General Noriega was made a drug baron by the CIA and, in need, he was made a scapegoat. In the same way, whether it is President Bush or any other US president, they cannot bring Israel to justice for its human rights abuses or to hold it accountable for such crimes. What is this? Is it not that there exists a government within the government in the United Sates? That secret government must be asked as to who made the attacks.

Ummat: A number of world countries have joined the call of the United States for launching an attack on Afghanistan. These also include a number of Muslim countries. Will Al-Qa’idah declare a jihad against these countries as well?

Usamah: I must say that my duty is just to awaken the Muslims; to tell them as to what is good for them and what is not. What does Islam says and what the enemies of Islam want?

Al-Qa’idah was set up to wage a jihad against infidelity, particularly to encounter the onslaught of the infidel countries against the Islamic states. Jihad is the sixth undeclared element of Islam. The first five being the basic holy words of Islam, prayers, fast, pilgrimage to Mecca, and giving alms Every anti-Islamic person is afraid of it. Al-Qa’idah wants to keep this element alive and active and make it part of the daily life of the Muslims. It wants to give it the status of worship. We are not against any Islamic country nor we consider a war against an Islamic country as jihad.

We are in favour of armed jihad only against those infidel countries, which are killing innocent Muslim men, women, and children just because they are Muslims. Supporting the US act is the need of some Muslim countries and the compulsion of others. However, they should think as to what will remain of their religious and moral position if they support the attack of the Christians and the Jews on a Muslim country like Afghanistan. The orders of Islamic shari’ah jurisprudence for such individuals, organizations, and countries are clear and all the scholars of the Muslim brotherhood are unanimous on them. We will do the same, which is being ordered by the Amir ol-Momenin the commander of the faithful Mola Omar and the Islamic scholars. The hearts of the people of Muslim countries are beating with the call of jihad. We are grateful to them.

Ummat: The losses caused in the attacks in New York and Washington have proved that giving an economic blow to the US is not too difficult. US experts admit that a few more such attacks can bring down the American economy. Why is al-Qa’idah not targeting their economic pillars?

Usamah: I have already said that we are not hostile to the United States. We are against the system, which makes other nations slaves of the United States, or forces them to mortgage their political and economic freedom. This system is totally in control of the American Jews, whose first priority is Israel, not the United States. It is simply that the American people are themselves the slaves of the Jews and are forced to live according to the principles and laws laid by them. So, the punishment should reach Israel. In fact, it is Israel, which is giving a blood bath to innocent Muslims and the US is not uttering a single word.

Ummat: Why is harm not caused to the enemies of Islam through other means, apart from the armed struggle? For instance, inciting the Muslims to boycott Western products, banks, shipping lines, and TV channels.

Usamah: The first thing is that Western products could only be boycotted when the Muslim fraternity is fully awakened and organized. Secondly, the Muslim companies should become self-sufficient in producing goods equal to the products of Western companies. Economic boycott of the West is not possible unless economic self-sufficiency is attained and substitute products are brought out. You see that wealth is scattered all across the Muslim world but not a single TV channel has been acquired which can preach Islamic injunctions according to modern requirements and attain an international influence. Muslim traders and philanthropists should make it a point that if the weapon of public opinion is to be used, it is to be kept in the hand. Today’s world is of public opinion and the fates of nations are determined through its pressure. Once the tools for building public opinion are obtained, everything that you asked for can be done.

Ummat: The entire propaganda about your struggle has so far been made by the Western media. But no information is being received from your sources about the network of Al-Qa’idah and its jihadi successes. Would you comment?

Usamah: In fact, the Western media is left with nothing else. It has no other theme to survive for a long time. Then we have many other things to do. The struggle for jihad and the successes are for the sake of Allah and not to annoy His bondsmen. Our silence is our real propaganda. Rejections, explanations, or corrigendum only waste your time and through them, the enemy wants you to engage in things which are not of use to you. These things are pulling you away from your cause.

The Western media is unleashing such a baseless propaganda, which make us surprise but it reflects on what is in their hearts and gradually they themselves become captive of this propaganda. They become afraid of it and begin to cause harm to themselves. Terror is the most dreaded weapon in modern age and the Western media is mercilessly using it against its own people. It can add fear and helplessness in the psyche of the people of Europe and the United States. It means that what the enemies of the United States cannot do, its media is doing that. You can understand as to what will be the performance of the nation in a war, which suffers from fear and helplessness.

Ummat: What will the impact of the freeze of al-Qa’idah accounts by the US?

Usamah: God opens up ways for those who work for Him. Freezing of accounts will not make any difference for Al-Qa’idah or other jihad groups. With the grace of Allah, al-Qa’idah has more than three such alternative financial systems, which are all separate and totally independent from each other. This system is operating under the patronage of those who love jihad. What to say of the United States, even the combined world cannot budge these people from their path.

These people are not in hundreds but in thousands and millions. Al-Qa’idah comprises of such modern educated youths who are aware of the cracks inside the Western financial system as they are aware of the lines in their hands. These are the very flaws of the Western fiscal system, which are becoming a noose for it and this system could not recuperate in spite of the passage of so many days.

Ummat: Are there other safe areas other than Afghanistan, where you can continue jihad?

Usamah: There are areas in all parts of the world where strong jihadi forces are present, from Indonesia to Algeria, from Kabul to Chechnya, from Bosnia to Sudan, and from Burma to Kashmir. Then it is not the problem of my person. I am helpless fellowman of God, constantly in the fear of my accountability before God. It is not the question of Usamah but of Islam and, in Islam too, of jihad. Thanks to God, those waging a jihad can walk today with their heads raised. Jihad was still present when there was no Usamah and it will remain as such even when Usamah is no longer there. Allah opens up ways and creates loves in the hearts of people for those who walk on the path of Allah with their lives, property, and children. Believe it, through jihad, a man gets everything he desires. And the biggest desire of a Muslim is the after life. Martyrdom is the shortest way of attaining an eternal life.

Ummat: What do you say about the Pakistan government policy on Afghanistan attack?

Usamah: We are thankful to the Momin and valiant people of Pakistan who erected a blockade in front of the wrong forces and stood in the first file of battle. Pakistan is a great hope for the Islamic brotherhood. Its people are awakened, organized, and rich in the spirit of faith. They backed Afghanistan in its war against the Soviet Union and extended every help to the mojahedin and the Afghan people. Then these are very Pakistanis who are standing shoulder by shoulder with the Taleban. If such people emerge in just two countries, the domination of the West will diminish in a matter of days. Our hearts beat with Pakistan and, God forbid, if a difficult time comes we will protect it with our blood. Pakistan is sacred for us like a place of worship. We are the people of jihad and fighting for the defence of Pakistan is the best of all jihads to us. It does not matter for us as to who rules Pakistan. The important thing is that the spirit of jihad is alive and stronger in the hearts of the Pakistani people.

Read about Osama Bin Laden in Michel Chossudovsky’s international best-seller

According to Chossudovsky, the “war on terrorism” is a complete fabrication based on the illusion that one man, Osama bin Laden, outwitted the $40 billion-a-year American intelligence apparatus. The “war on terrorism” is a war of conquest. Globalisation is the final march to the “New World Order”, dominated by Wall Street and the U.S. military-industrial complex.

Washington’s Blog

Nov 22, 2012

Wesley Clark, Supreme Allied Commander NATO, testifies in this 2-minute video that the US planned to overthrow seven countries after 9/11: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran.

The Pentagon admitted a strategy to do so (here, here, here):

1. the US conducts acts of terrorism in nations they want to control,
2. the US continues terrorism to provoke an act of reprisal,
3. the US labels the reprisal “terrorism” to justify covert and overt military operations to overthrow targeted governments.

Therefore, the US caused the “war on terror” as a policy choice; 9/11 was pretense and not the cause.

Indeed, war law and two UN Security Council Resolutions provided international cooperation for factual discovery of the 9/11 terrorists, arrests, and trial for lawful justice all nations supported.

The US rejects the rule of law, violates treaty obligations, killed over a million human beings from armed attacks since 9/11, and so far has long-term costs of $4 to $6 trillion to US taxpayers ($40 – $60,000 per household).

This rogue state of the US ends when enough Americans in military, law enforcement, government, media, education, and the general public have sufficient intellectual integrity and moral courage to accept the “emperor has no clothes” obvious facts.

This unlawful policy choice of the US for Wars of Aggression has killed 20-30 million people in covert and overt wars since 1945. It follows a long history of lie-began and treaty-violated wars of choice to steal land and resources, as I’ve reminded the public before:

1. The US regularly violated treaties with Native Americans, as well as manipulating their meaning for the purpose of stealing their land.

2. US President Polk lied to Congress to initiate a War of Aggression in Mexico. The result was the US taking 40% of Mexico in 1848. This occurred despite Abraham Lincoln’s crystal-clear explanation as a member of Congress that the Adams-Onis Treaty placed the “border dispute” 400 miles within land forever promised to Mexico and forever promised as outside any US claim.

3. The US violated our treaty with Hawaii and stole their country in 1898.

4. The US reneged on promises of freedom after the Spanish American War to impose our rule on the Philippines and install US-friendly dictators in Cuba.

5. The US entered WW1 upon no national security threat to the US and put the 3rd party presidential candidate in prison for public speeches questioning the war.

6. The CIA had several covert wars; perhaps most important in today’s context of war on Iran:“Operation Ajax” that overthrew Iran’s democracy and installed a US-friendly and brutal dictator. When that dictator was overthrown and Iran refused another, the US aided Iraq to unlawfully invade and attack Iran from 1980-1988; killing up to a million Iranians. If the US lied and acted twice to unlawfully overthrew Iran’s democracy within our own lifetimes, shouldn’t we assume first another lie-stared unlawful war today? Upon confirmation of the lies (documented below), shouldn’t we arrest the US War Criminals rather than allow them to kill again?!?

7. The Vietnam War occurred after the US allowed the cancellation of an election to unify the country, as escalated with the Gulf of Tonkin incident: false intelligence at best, but then manipulated into a false-flag event for a “defensive” war.

8. Perhaps most disturbing is the King Family civil suit that found the US government guilty in the assassination of Dr. King. Corporate media, including our text publishers, omit this history. The King family’s conclusion is that Martin was assassinated to prevent his “Occupy DC” plan beginning for the sumer of 1968 to end his version of today’s wars.

9. We now know from Congressional reports that all “reasons” for war with Iraq were known to be falseas they were told.

10. The two “reasons” for war with Iran are as false as the “reasons” for war with Iraq. Beware a false flag attack by the US or Israel to blame on Iran as pretext for another “defensive” war:

1. Iran’s president never physically threatened Israel.
2. All of Iran’s nuclear material is fully accounted for peaceful and legal use for energy and medicine.

Film’s advance publicity says: ‘We the people demand an independent investigation into the tragic events of 9/11′

Hollywood is to court controversy with a film that will challenge the official version of the events of 9/11, a previously taboo topic for the industry mainstream. Martin Sheen, Woody Harrelson and Ed Asner, who have all supported conspiracy theories about the terrorist attacks, have signed up to the movie, which is entitled September Morn.

Styling itself as a drama in the tradition of Twelve Angry Men, the film’s advance publicity note hints at a cover-up, saying: “We the people demand that the government revisit and initiates a thorough and independent investigation to the tragic events of 911.”

Details of the film, which is to be directed by BJ Davis and written by Howard Cohen, are expected to be revealed at an American Film Market conference in Los Angeles next week, Deadline.com reported.

The production has been set up by Fleur de Lis Film Studios, which has also made the documentary A Noble Lie, about the Oklahoma City bombing, and Operation: Dark Heart, a feature based on an intelligence agent’s memoirs.

Until now Hollywood has steered clear of claims that the Bush administration, or other elements in the government, may have been behind the 9/11 attacks, in which hijacked passenger planes crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennslyvania. The fourth plane was apparently en route to the Capitol.

Oliver Stone, who has challenged official history in JFK and other films, steered clear of conspiracy theories in his 2006 film World Trade Center, which focused on the heroism of police and rescuers.

September Morn has assembled a cast linked to the so-called truther movement, which alleges official inconsistencies, complicity and cover-up.

Sheen, who starred in Apocalypse Now and television’s The West Wing, has long questioned whether Islamist hijackers single-handedly brought down the Twin Towers, killing 2,605 people.

“I did not want to believe that my government could possibly be involved in such a thing, I could not live in a country that I thought could do that – that would be the ultimate betrayal,” he told an interviewer in 2007.

Sheen grew suspicious after his son Charlie, also an actor, alerted him to apparent contradictions, such as how a structure known as “Building 7″ fell.

He said: “However, there have been so many revelations that now I have my doubts, and chief among them is Building 7 – how did they rig that building so that it came down on the evening of the day?”

Asner, who has won seven Emmys, has several times urged a new investigation into 9/11. In 2010, he told an interviewer: “This country – which is the greatest, strongest country that ever existed in the world, in terms of power – supposedly had a defence that could not be penetrated all these years. But all of that was eradicated by 19 Saudi Arabians, supposedly. Some of whom didn’t even know how to fly.”

Harrelson, who starred recently in The Hunger Games, has also supported the self-styled 9/11 truth movement.

September Morn is also the name of a Neil Diamond album and a painting by the French artist Paul Émile Chabas which hangs in New York’s Metropolitan Musuem of Art.

The global 9/11 truth and justice movement was vindicated again when Patrick Clawson, the Director of Research at the Washington Institute of Near East Policy (WINEP), publicly suggested that the United States and Israel stage a false flag provocation in the Persian Gulf to justify U.S. military action and switch the war against Iran to another gear.

If Clawson’s suggestion is acted upon, it won’t be the first time that Israeli and American leaders slaughtered sacrificial lambs in a false flag operation and used the event to deceive their shell-shocked nations into war. Both the USS Liberty cover-up and the false flag September 11 events demonstrate the willingness of Israeli and U.S. administrations to dance with the devil.

For the full context of Clawson’s remarks, watch the complete video titled, “How to Build U.S.-Israeli Coordination on Preventing an Iranian Nuclear Breakout.”

Clawson’s comments are hardly surprising. 9/11 truth-tellers have been saying for years that the same governments who pulled off the 9/11 deception will again resort to the tactic of a covert false flag operation to get the world to support a U.S.-Israeli war against Iran.

But the truth is that the United States is already at war with Iran. I reported back in April that the aim of U.S. sanctions against Iran is toprovoke an Iranian pearl harbor, thereby mobilizing American public opinion for an all-out American-Western-Israeli war against Iran.

Clawson is not a demonic outlier, he is only publicly acknowledging what is covert U.S. policy. The FDR administration pulled Japan into the same trap through sanctions and covert warfare that the Bush and Obama administrations have laid out for Iran.

If the sanctions don’t provoke an Iranian response, which goes against the history of the use of sanctions in this way, then the U.S., or more likely Israel, will stage a false flag event and use it to blame Iran. Clawson’s admission merely confirms our original suspicions and adds weight to our predictions that there will be a new US-Israeli false flag to start a new war.

According to many analysts, the likely American victim in the Persian Gulf will be the USS Enterprise. Of course, it may never happen. If there are level-headed and peace-minded people in and around the U.S. military like former Navy Adviser Gwenyth Todd then the American people and the Iranian people will be saved from a catastrophic and pointless war with each other.

But it is stupid to hope for the best. Staying vigilant is key because a new false flag can happen any day, either in the United States, Europe, or the Persian Gulf.

Traditionally, the false flag card was the “secret card” that was played very close to the Zionist/Globalist chest, but arrogant characters like Clawson mistakenly believe that people aren’t paying attention so why hold back? This thinking shows a level of arrogance that is very dangerous for the powers-that-be in the United States and Israel.

There are more rational people within the U.S. establishment like Zbigniew Brzezinski who are aware that there is a massive global political awakening and know that an illegitimate attack against Iran is a fool’s errand. Speaking to The Real News about a potentially disastrous US-Iran war in January 2010, Brzezinski said:

“The Chinese are getting more involved in Iranian economy ’cause they need energy, and they’re not going to be particularly grateful if we produce a conflict in the region. And that will also affect them. And what consequences that might have for the world economy is hard to predict. All I’m saying is don’t trifle with the silly notion, oh, we’ll just bomb them and the problem is solved. It’s a false analogy, and historically it’s one fundamental lesson we shouldn’t forget: Stalin and the Soviet Union was more of a threat than Iran ever will be, and yet we deterred it. Mao Zedong talked of a nuclear war which might kill 300 million people, and so what [inaudible] we didn’t have a war with the Chinese. Why should we act like crazies in dealing with Iran?”

A third world war will destroy America, Israel, and Iran, and make way for a one world order through a violent birth. Only individuals with a disturbed imagination believe that massive political and social change can only be produced violently and catastrophically. If America and Iran restore ties, the situation in the Middle East would improve dramatically, especially on the Israel-Palestine front.

But we cannot depend on governments to improve anything. There must be a creation of a united and global peace movement based on the efforts of the global 9/11 truth and justice movement. And it must begin in America because its gifted people hold the most important key to world peace, which is their non-compliance with the hijacked U.S. government and U.S. media.

The failing and collapsing U.S. state-corporate media cannot compete in an environment where different voices and different opinions can be heard. The global alternative media is alert, expanding, and ready to knock down any new deception at a moment’s notice.

Radio host Alex Jones and Emmy award-winning journalist Amber Lyon recently discussed the increasing value of the global alternative media and how it is changing global political conversations. “As journalists,” said Lyon, “we cannot pick and choose when or when not to tell the truth. We always have to be truth-seekers and trying to expose the truth on every level.”

The rapid online response to Clawson’s repulsive statements has been extraordinary and is another sign that American public opinion will not be hijacked so easily the next time a false flag occurs that pushes America into another unnecessary war. It shows us that any new false flag event will be rightly interpreted as an act by the terrorist states in Israel and the U.S., thus negating its function: mobilizing public opinion in America and the West for another war in the Middle East.

Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley wrote the following about Clawson’s false flag suggestion in his article, “False Flag: Leading Analyst At Pro-Israeli Think Tank Publicly Discusses How U.S. Can Be Forced Into War With Iran”:

“It is the callous disconnect that is most chilling in these remarks. Thousands of U.S. soldiers have died or have been crippled for life in these wars that have left the country near bankruptcy (and increasingly hostile “allies” in Afghanistan and Iraq). Those casualties and costs, however, appear immaterial in the discussion of supporting Israel in a war against Iran.”

Clawson displays a horrifying indifference to the suffering of American soldiers, and ordinary people in the Middle East. Many commentators have noted Clawson’s unmanly characteristics. He is one of those “girlie men” that Schwarzenegger mocked at the Republican National Convention in 2004. Washington is full of such men. They have lost touch with what being a man means. To them, dropping bombs on innocent villagers in a foreign country from a shack in Nevada is a demonstration of toughness.

Clawson and others like him in the U.S.-Israeli establishment who believe that the murder of innocent people is a necessary evil don’t recognize the natural boundaries of right and wrong. The morality of decisions does not enter their calculations, and this is their greatest mistake.

II. Netanyahu Draws Ridicule At The UN

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was ridiculed after he delivered his first grade level speech at the United Nations on Thursday, September 27, for bringing a kindergarten bomb chart to a serious international meeting. Another reason he was not taken seriously is because he does not have any moral authority. Neither does President Obama, by the way, but at least he has the grace to express himself on an international stage in a thoughtful and respectable manner. Netanyahu lacks grace, moral authority, and thoughtfulness.

A video capturing a young Benjamin Netanyahu in the United States in the 1970s shows a crazy side of him that seems to be a permanent feature. His rigid sense of rightness, demonstrated in the video, is scary. He can’t tolerate different opinions and views. He is a classic case of an authoritarian personality.

I’m surprised that an intellectual nation like Israel elected this man who only uses emotion to get his points across and throws logic aside. Then again, it’s not really surprising. Germany, the most intellectual nation in Europe, elected the demagogue Hitler. The comparison is apt, because as Dr. Steve Pieczenik said on the Alex Jones show on September 16, Netanyahu is “the Hitler of the 21st century.”

Any country, no matter how civilized, can be mentally captured for a period of time in its history and become a victim of emotion-based, fear-mongering rhetoric. America, Israel, England, Germany, Russia, Iran, France, the country and time doesn’t matter. We’re all humans – emotional creatures who can be easily manipulated, easily led to war, and easily hoodwinked by men in power.

The difference between Hitler and Netanyahu is that Hitler had stage presence, whereas Netanyahu is an international laughing stock. This will turn out to be a good thing not only for the people of Israel, Iran, and America, but for the whole world.

We arrive at the 11th anniversary of the false flag attack that changed the world as we know it. The tactic was nothing new.  The purpose clear; The false enemy, fake war on terror, enables the fascist establishment to reign terror upon the planet, and it has gone 11 years with no justice or main stream acceptance of the truth.

Many ask me why I still crusade for 9/11 truth. 11 years is no reason to stop fighting fascist propaganda. We must continue to educate and awaken the masses. For those still living in an 11 year bubble of denial.. WAKE THE FUCK UP!

Perpetual war, genocide, and fascist rule continue because the masses live with the assumption that if they ignore the fact that their government is against them, that it will not affect them. Well it does and it affects millions around the world. You cannot sit in denial any more. We have great strength in numbers and we must all rise up and resist this fascist government.

A time comes when silence is betrayal. — Martin Luther King Jr.

The 11th Anniversary of 9/11

Paul Craig Roberts

Prisonplanet.com
Sept 11, 2012

The article below was written for the Journal of 9/11 Studies for the eleventh anniversary of September 11, 2001, the day that terminated accountable government and American liberty. It is posted here with the agreement of the editors.

In order to understand the improbability of the government’s explanation of 9/11, it is not necessary to know anything about what force or forces brought down the three World Trade Center buildings, what hit the Pentagon or caused the explosion, the flying skills or lack thereof of the alleged hijackers, whether the airliner crashed in Pennsylvania or was shot down, whether cell phone calls made at the altitudes could be received, or any other debated aspect of the controversy.

You only have to know two things.

One is that according to the official story, a handful of Arabs, mainly Saudi Arabians, operating independently of any government and competent intelligence service, men without James Bond and V for Vendetta capabilities, outwitted not only the CIA, FBI, and National Security Agency, but all 16 US intelligence agencies, along with all security agencies of America’s NATO allies and Israel’s Mossad. Not only did the entire intelligence forces of the Western world fail, but on the morning of the attack the entire apparatus of the National Security State simultaneously failed. Airport security failed four times in one hour. NORAD failed. Air Traffic Control failed. The US Air Force failed. The National Security Council failed. Dick Cheney failed. Absolutely nothing worked. The world’s only superpower was helpless at the humiliating mercy of a few undistinguished Arabs.

It is hard to image a more far-fetched story–except for the second thing you need to know: The humiliating failure of US National Security did not result in immediate demands from the President of the United States, from Congress, from the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and from the media for an investigation of how such improbable total failure could have occurred. No one was held accountable for the greatest failure of national security in world history. Instead, the White House dragged its feet for a year resisting any investigation until the persistent demands from 9/11 families for accountability forced President George W. Bush to appoint a political commission, devoid of any experts, to hold a pretend investigation.

On 9/11 Doubts Were Immediate

On September 11, 2001, a neighbor telephoned and said, “turn on the TV.” I assumed that a hurricane, possibly a bad one from the sound of the neighbor’s voice, was headed our way, and turned on the TV to determine whether we needed to shutter the house and leave.

What I saw was black smoke from upper floors of one of the World Trade Center towers. It didn’t seem to be much of a fire, and the reports were that the fire was under control. While I was trying to figure out why every TV network had its main news anchor covering an office fire, TV cameras showed an airplane hitting the other tower. It was then that I learned that both towers had been hit by airliners.

Cameras showed people standing at the hole in the side of the tower looking out. This didn’t surprise me. The airliner was minute compared to the massive building. But what was going on? Two accidents, one on top of the other?

The towers—the three-fourths or four-fifths of the buildings beneath the plane strikes–were standing, apparently largely undamaged. There were no signs of fire except in the vicinity of where the airliners had hit. Suddenly, one of the towers blew up, disintegrated, and disappeared in fine dust. Before one could make any sense of this, the same thing happened to the second tower, and it too disappeared into fine dust.

The TV news anchors compared the disintegration of the towers to controlled demolition. There were numerous reports of explosions throughout the towers from the base or sub-basements to the top. (Once the government put out the story of terrorist attack, references to controlled demolition and explosions disappeared from the print and TV media.) This made sense to me. Someone had blown up the buildings. It was completely obvious that the towers had not fallen down from asymmetrical structural damage. They had blown up.

The images of the airliners hitting the towers and the towers blowing up were replayed time and again. Airliners hit the top portions of the towers, and not long afterward the towers blew up. I turned off the TV wondering how it was that cameras had been ready to catch such an unusual phenomenon as an airplane flying into a skyscraper.

I don’t remember the time line, but it wasn’t long before the story was in place that Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda gang had attacked the US. A passport had been found in the rubble. Another airliner had flown into the Pentagon, and a fourth airliner had crashed or been shot down. Four airliners had been hijacked, meaning airport security had failed four times on the same morning. Terrorists had successfully assaulted America.

When I heard these reports, I wondered. How could a tiny undamaged passport be found in the rubble of two skyscrapers, each more than 100 stories tall, when bodies, office furniture and computers could not be found? How could airport security fail so totally that four airliners could be hijacked within the same hour? How could authorities know so conclusively and almost immediately the names of the perpetrators who pulled off such a successful attack on the world’s only superpower, when the authorities had no idea that such an attack was planned or even possible?

These questions disturbed me, because as a former member of the congressional staff and as a presidential appointee to high office, I had high level security clearances. In addition to my duties as Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury, I had FEMA responsibilities in the event of nuclear attack. There was a mountain hideaway to which I was supposed to report in the event of a nuclear attack and from which I was supposed to take over the US government in the event no higher official survived the attack.

The more the story of 9/11 was presented in the media, the more wondrous it became. It is not credible that not only the CIA and FBI failed to detect the plot, but also all 16 US intelligence agencies, including the National Security Agency, which spies on everyone on the planet, and the Defense Intelligence Agency, Israel’s Mossad, and the intelligence agencies of Washington’s NATO allies. There are simply too many watchmen and too much infiltration of terrorist groups for such a complex attack to be prepared undetected and carried out undeterred.

Washington’s explanation of the attack implied a security failure too massive to be credible. Such a catastrophic failure of national security would mean that the US and Western Europe were never safe for one second during the Cold War, that the Soviet Union could have destroyed the entire West in one undetected fell swoop.

As a person whose colleagues at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington were former secretaries of state, former national security advisors, former CIA directors, former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, I was troubled by the story that a collection of individuals unsupported by a competent intelligence service had pulled off the events of 9/11.

As a person with high level government service, I knew that any such successful operation as 9/11 would have resulted in immediate demands from the White House, Congress, and the media for accountability. There would have been an investigation of how every aspect of US security could totally fail simultaneously in one morning. Such a catastrophic and embarrassing failure of the national security state would not be left unexamined.

NORAD failed. The US Air Force could not get jet fighters in the air. Air Traffic Control lost sight of the hijacked airliners. Yet, instead of launching an investigation, the White House resisted for one year the demands of the 9/11 families for an investigation. Neither the public, the media, nor Congress seemed to think an investigation was necessary. The focus was on revenge, which the Bush neocon regime said meant invading Afghanistan which was alleged to be sheltering the perpetrator, Osama bin Laden.

Normally, terrorists are proud of their success and announce their responsibility. It is a way to build a movement. Often a number of terrorist groups will compete in claiming credit for a successful operation. But Osama bin Laden in the last video that is certified by independent experts said that he had no responsibility for 9/11, that he had nothing against the American people, that his opposition was limited to the US government’s colonial policies and control over Muslim governments.

It makes no sense that the “mastermind” of the most humiliating blow in world history ever to have been delivered against a superpower would not claim credit for his accomplishment. By September 11, 2001, Osama bin Laden knew that he was deathly ill. According to news reports he underwent kidney dialysis the following month. The most reliable reports that we have are that he died in December 2001. It is simply not credible that bin Laden denied responsibility because he feared Washington.

But Osama bin Laden was too useful a bogeyman, and Washington and the presstitute media kept him alive for another decade until Obama needed to kill the dead man in order to boost his sinking standings in the polls so that Democrats would not back a challenger for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Numerous bin Laden videos, every one pronounced a fake by experts, were released whenever it was convenient for Washington. No one in the Western media or in the US Congress or European or UK parliaments was sufficiently intelligent to recognize that a bin Laden video always showed up on cue when Washington needed it. “Why would the ‘mastermind’ be so accommodating for Washington?” was the question that went through my mind every time one of the fake videos was released.

The 9/11 “investigation” that finally took place was a political one run from the White House. One member of the commission resigned, declaring the investigation to be a farce, and both co-chairman and the legal counsel of the 9/11 Commission distanced themselves from their report with statements that the 9/11 Commission was “set up to fail,” that resources were withheld from the commission, that representatives of the US military lied to the commission and that the commission considered referring the false testimony for criminal prosecution.

One would think that these revelations would cause a sensation, but the news media, Congress, the White House, and the public were silent.

All of this bothered me a great deal. The US had invaded two Muslim countries based on unsubstantiated allegations linking the two countries to 9/11, which itself remained uninvestigated. The neoconservatives who staffed the George W. Bush regime were advocating more invasions of more Muslim countries. Paul O’Neill, President Bush’s first Treasury Secretary, stated publicly that the Bush regime was planning to invade Iraq prior to 9/11. O’Neill said that no one at a National Security Council meeting even asked the question, why invade Iraq? “It was all about finding a way to do it.”

http://articles.cnn.com/2004-01-10/politics/oneill.bush_1_roomful-of-deaf-people-education-of-paul-o-neill-national-security-council-meeting?_s=PM:ALLPOLITICS

The leaked top secret Downing Street Memo written by the head of British intelligence (MI6) confirms Paul O’Neill’s testimony. The memo, known as the “smoking gun memo” whose authenticity has been confirmed, states that “President George W. Bush wants to remove Saddam Hussein, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy.” In other words, the US invasion of Iraq was based on nothing but a made up lie.

As an engineering student I had witnessed a controlled demolition. When films of the collapse of WTC building 7 emerged, it was obvious that building 7 had been brought down by controlled demolition. When physics instructor David Chandler measured the descent of the building and established that it took place at free fall acceleration, the case was closed. Buildings cannot enter free fall unless controlled demolition has removed all resistance to the collapsing floors.

If airliners brought down two skyscrapers, why was controlled demolition used to bring down a third building?

I assumed that structural architects, structural engineers, and physicists would blow the whistle on the obviously false story. If I could see that something was amiss, certainly more highly trained people would.

The first physicist to make an effective and compelling argument was Steven Jones at BYU. Jones said that explosives brought down the twin towers. He made a good case. For his efforts, he was pressured to resign his tenured position. I wondered whether the federal government had threatened BYU’s research grants or whether patriotic trustees and alumni were the driving force behind Jones’ expulsion. Regardless, the message was clear to other university based experts: “Shut up or we’ll get you.”

Steven Jones was vindicated when chemist Niels Harrit of the University of Copenhagen In Denmark reported unequivocally that the scientific team in which he participated found nano-thermite in the residue of the twin towers. This sensational finding was not mentioned in the US print and TV media to my knowledge.

Several years after 9/11 architect Richard Gage formed Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth, an organization that has grown to include 1,700 experts. The plans of the towers have been studied. They were formidable structures. They were constructed to withstand airliner hits and fires. There is no credible explanation of their failure except intentional demolition.

I also found disturbing the gullibility of the public, media, and Congress in the unquestioning acceptance of the official stories of the shoe-bomber, shampoo and bottled water bomber, and underwear bomber plots to blow up airliners in transit. These schemes are farcical. How can we believe that al Qaeda, capable of pulling off the most fantastic terrorist attack in history and capable of devising improvised explosive devices (IEDs) that kill and maim US troops and destroy US military vehicles would rely on something that had to be lighted with a match? The shoe and underwear bombers would simply have pushed a button on their cell phones or laptops, and the liquid bomb would not have required extended time in a lavatory to be mixed (all to no effect).

None of this makes any sense. Moreover, experts disputed many of the government’s claims, which were never backed by anything but the government’s story line. There is no independent evidence that anything was involved other than firecracker powders.

The case of the underwear bomber is especially difficult to accept. According to witnesses, the underwear bomber was not allowed on the airliner, because he had no passport. So an official appears who walks him onto the airliner bound for Detroit on Christmas day. What kind of official has the authority to override established rules, and what did the official think would happen to the passenger when he presented himself to US Customs without a passport? Any official with the power to override standard operating practices would know that it was pointless to send a passenger to a country where his entry would be rejected.

The circumstantial evidence is that these were orchestrated events designed to keep fear alive, to create new intrusive powers for a new over-arching federal policy agency, to accustom US citizens to intrusive searches and a police force to conducting them, and to sell expensive porno-scanners and now more advanced devices to the Transportation Safety Administration. Apparently, this expensive collection of high-tech gadgetry is insufficient to protect us from terrorists, and in August 2012 the Department of Homeland Security put in an order for 750 million rounds of ammunition, enough to shoot every person in the US 2.5 times.

Naive and gullible Americans claim that if some part of the US government had been involved in 9/11, “someone would have talked by now.” A comforting thought, perhaps, but nothing more. Consider, for example, the cover-up by the US government of the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty that killed or wounded most of the crew but failed to sink the ship. As the survivors have testified, they were ordered in a threatening way not to speak about the event. It was twelve years later before one of the USS Liberty’s officers, James Ennes, told the story of the attack in his book, Assault on the Liberty. I continue to wonder how the professionals at the National Institute of Standards and Technology feel about being maneuvered by the federal government into the unscientific position NIST took concerning the destruction of the WTC towers.

What will be the outcome of the doubts about the official story raised by experts? I worry that most Americans are too mentally and emotionally weak to be able to come to grips with the truth. They are far more comfortable with the story that enemies attacked America successfully despite the massive national security state in place. The American public has proved itself to be so cowardly that it willingly, without a peep, sacrificed its civil liberty and the protections of law guaranteed by the Constitution in order to be “safe.”

Congress is not about to expose itself for having squandered trillions of dollars on pointless wars based on an orchestrated “new Pearl Harbor.” When the neoconservatives said that a “new Pearl Harbor” was a requirement for their wars for American/Israeli hegemony, they set the stage for the 21st century wars that Washington has launched. If Syria falls, there is only Iran, and then Washington stands in direct confrontation with Russia and China.

Unless Russia and China can be overthrown with “color revolutions,” these two nuclear powers are unlikely to submit to Washington’s hegemony. The world as we know it might be drawing to a close.

If enough Americans or even other peoples in the world had the intelligence to realize that massive steel structures do not disintegrate into fine dust because a flimsy airliner hits them and limited short-lived fires burn on a few floors, Washington would be faced with the suspicion it deserves.

If 9/11 was actually the result of the failure of the national security state to deter an attack, the government’s refusal to conduct a real investigation is an even greater failure. It has fallen to concerned and qualified individuals to perform the investigative role abandoned by government. The presentations at the Toronto Hearings, along with the evaluations of the Panel, are now available, as is the documentary film, “Explosive Evidence–Experts Speak Out,” provided by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth.

The government’s agents and apologists try to deflect attention from disturbing facts by redefining factual evidence revealed by experts as the product of “a conspiracy culture.” If people despite their brainwashing and lack of scientific education are able to absorb the information made available to them, perhaps both the US Constitution and peace could be restored. Only informed people can restrain Washington and avert the crazed hegemonic US government from destroying the world in war.

Dr. Paul Craig Roberts is the father of Reaganomics and the former head of policy at the Department of Treasury. He is a columnist and was previously the editor of the Wall Street Journal. His latest book, “How the Economy Was Lost: The War of the Worlds,” details why America is disintegrating.

Unanswered 9-11 Questions Vetted on New Open-Source Debate Website

Activist Post

As we remember the horrific events of 9-11 on this 11th anniversary, it’s an excellent opportunity to remind people that many unanswered questions remain about the day that changed everything. Nearly anyone who takes an honest look at the official explanation of 9-11 realizes it’s at best incomplete, and at worst a complete fabrication.

Many theories have sprung up in an attempt to answer the glaring questions like: How did Building 7 crumble to the ground at free fall speed without having been hit by anything? Or how could jet fuel turn the twin towers into dust? Where is the plane wreckage from Shanksville? Or how did untrained Al Qaeda fighters make nearly impossible flight maneuvers? Or why did America’s air defense stand down? And many more questions expose the official story as bogus.

You won’t see any mainstream media outlets address these questions or even acknowledge any controversy at all despite the obvious discrepancies. Thankfully many independent researchers and the alternative media are doing their best to uncover the truth. But now there is a new platform that allows anyone to contribute their research, theories and evidence to help answer these questions.

A recently launched open-source website has created a user-friendly digital battlefield for the debate over these types of controversial and fiercely contended issues. IssueVet.com has developed an innovative “vetting” software similar to Wiki, designed to break through the Internet clutter and force both sides of an issue to engage in a fair fight and show all of their work.

IssueVet’s open-source interface allows the world to use its collective intelligence and knowledge to work like a team of investigators laying out all of the arguments on their side of an issue and not letting the other side get away with lies, manipulation, oversimplification, speculation, empty conclusions or unreliable evidence.

On this anniversary, truth activists should flood this website and others like it with the real information about 9-11 before the government and their crony handlers fill it with their propaganda. Go to their Vetting September 11th channel to contribute.

The Third Building Which Collapsed on 9/11 Was Not Hit By a Plane

Washington’s Blog
Sept 11, 2012

Top Experts Say Official Explanation Makes No Sense

Numerous structural engineers – the people who know the most about office building vulnerabilities and accidents – say that the official explanation of why building 7 at the World Trade Center collapsed on 9/11 is “impossible”, “defies common logic” and “violates the law of physics”:

• Two professors of structural engineering at a prestigious Swiss university (Dr. Joerg Schneider and Dr. Hugo Bachmann) said that, on 9/11, World Trade Center 7 was brought down by controlled demolition(translation here)

• Alfred Lee Lopez, with 48 years of experience in all types of buildings:

I agree the fire did not cause the collapse of the three buildings. The most realistic cause of the collapse is that the buildings were imploded

• John D. Pryor, with more than 30 years experience:

The collapse of WTC7 looks like it may have been the result of a controlled demolition. This should have been looked into as part of the original investigation

• Robert F. Marceau, with over 30 years of structural engineering experience:
  

  From videos of the collapse of building 7, the penthouse drops first prior to the collapse, and it can be noted that windows, in a vertical line, near the location of first interior column line are blown out, and reveal smoke from those explosions. This occurs in a vertical line in symmetrical fashion an equal distance in toward the center of the building from each end. When compared to controlled demolitions, one can see the similarities

• Kamal S. Obeid, structural engineer, with a masters degree in Engineering from UC Berkeley and 30 years of engineering experience, says:

Photos of the steel, evidence about how the buildings collapsed, the unexplainable collapse of WTC 7, evidence of thermite in the debris as well as several other red flags, are quite troubling indications of well planned and controlled demolition

• Steven L. Faseler, structural engineer with over 20 years of experience in the design and construction industry:
  

  World Trade Center 7 appears to be a controlled demolition. Buildings do not suddenly fall straight down by accident

• Ronald H. Brookman, structural engineer, with a masters degree in Engineering from UC Davis,writes:

Why would all 110 stories drop straight down to the ground in about 10 seconds, pulverizing the contents into dust and ash – twice. Why would all 47 stories of WTC 7 fall straight down to the ground in about seven seconds the same day? It was not struck by any aircraft or engulfed in any fire. An independent investigation is justified for all three collapses including the surviving steel samples and the composition of the dust

• Graham John Inman points out:

WTC 7 Building could not have collapsed as a result of internal fire and external debris. NO plane hit this building. This is the only case of a steel frame building collapsing through fire in the world. The fire on this building was small & localized therefore what is the cause?

• Paul W. Mason notes:

In my view, the chances of the three buildings collapsing symmetrically into their own footprint, at freefall speed, by any other means than by controlled demolition, are so remote that there is no other plausible explanation

• David Scott says:

Near-freefall collapse violates laws of physics. Fire induced collapse is not consistent with observed collapse mode . . . .

• Nathan Lomba states:

I began having doubts about, so called, official explanations for the collapse of the WTC towers soon after the explanations surfaced. The gnawing question that lingers in my mind is: How did the structures collapse in near symmetrical fashion when the apparent precipitating causes were asymmetrical loading? The collapses defies common logic from an elementary structural engineering perspective. “If” you accept the argument that fire protection covering was damaged to such an extent that structural members in the vicinity of the aircraft impacts were exposed to abnormally high temperatures, and “if” you accept the argument that the temperatures were high enough to weaken the structural framing, that still does not explain the relatively concentric nature of the failures.Neither of the official precipitating sources for the collapses, namely the burning aircraft, were centered within the floor plan of either tower; both aircraft were off-center when they finally came to rest within the respective buildings. This means that, given the foregoing assumptions, heating and weakening of the structural framing would have been constrained to the immediate vicinity of the burning aircraft. Heat transmission (diffusion) through the steel members would have been irregular owing to differing sizes of the individual members; and, the temperature in the members would have dropped off precipitously the further away the steel was from the flames—just as the handle on a frying pan doesn’t get hot at the same rate as the pan on the burner of the stove. These factors would have resulted in the structural framing furthest from the flames remaining intact and possessing its full structural integrity, i.e., strength and stiffness.

Structural steel is highly ductile, when subjected to compression and bending it buckles and bends long before reaching its tensile or shear capacity. Under the given assumptions, “if” the structure in the vicinity of either burning aircraft started to weaken, the superstructure above would begin to lean in the direction of the burning side. The opposite, intact, side of the building would resist toppling until the ultimate capacity of the structure was reached, at which point, a weak-link failure would undoubtedly occur. Nevertheless, the ultimate failure mode would have been a toppling of the upper floors to one side—much like the topping of a tall redwood tree—not a concentric, vertical collapse.

For this reason alone, I rejected the official explanation for the collapse of the WTC towers out of hand. Subsequent evidence supporting controlled, explosive demolition of the two buildings are more in keeping with the observed collapse modalities and only serve to validate my initial misgivings as to the causes for the structural failures

• Edward E. Knesl writes:

We design and analyze buildings for the overturning stability to resist the lateral loads with the combination of the gravity loads. Any tall structure failure mode would be a fall over to its side. It is impossible that heavy steel columns could collapse at the fraction of the second within each story and subsequently at each floor below.We do not know the phenomenon of the high rise building to disintegrate internally faster than the free fall of the debris coming down from the top.

The engineering science and the law of physics simply doesn’t know such possibility. Only very sophisticated controlled demolition can achieve such result, eliminating the natural dampening effect of the structural framing huge mass that should normally stop the partial collapse. The pancake theory is a fallacy, telling us that more and more energy would be generated to accelerate the collapse. Where would such energy would be coming from?

• Antonio Artha,with 15+ years of experience in building design

Fire and impact were insignificant in all three buildings. Impossible for the three to collapse at free-fall speed. Laws of physics were not suspended on 9/11, unless proven otherwise

• Steven Francis Dusterwald:
  

The symmetrical “collapse” due to asymmetrical damage is at odds with the principles of structural mechanics

• John S. Lovrovich:

It is virtually impossible for WTC building 7 to collapse as it did with the influence of sporadic fires. This collapse HAD to be planned

• Travis McCoy, M.S. in structural engineering

• James Milton Bruner, Major, U.S. Air Force, instructor and assistant professor in the Deptartment of Engineering Mechanics & Materials, USAF Academy, and a technical writer and editor, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

• Christopher Michael Bradbury:

It is very suspicious that fire brought down Building 7 yet the Madrid hotel fire was still standing after 24 hours of fire. This is very suspicious to me because I design buildings for a living

• David Anthony Dorau, practicing structural engineer with 18 years’ experience in the inspection and design of buildings under 5 stories tall, who worked as a policy analyst for the Office of Technology Assessment, an arm of the U.S. Congress providing independent research and reports on technological matters

• Russell T. Connors, designed many buildings and other types of structures

• Lester Jay Germanio, 20+ years experience

• Daniel Metz, 26+ years experience

• Jonathan Smolens, 11 years experience, with a specialty in forensic engineering

• William Rice, P.E., structural engineer, former professor of Vermont Technical College

• Paul A. Thomas
  

• Steven Merritt
  

• Kers Clausen
  

• Dennis Kollar, American structural engineer
  

• Doyle Winterton, American structural engineer (retired)

• David Topete
  

The above is just a sample. Many other structural engineershave questioned the collapse of Building 7, as have numerous experts in other disciplines, including:

• The former head of the Fire Science Division of the government agency which claims that the World Trade Centers collapsed due to fire (the National Institute of Standards and Technology), who is one of the world’s leading fire science researchers and safety engineers, a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering (Dr. James Quintiere), called for an independent review of the World Trade Center collapse investigation. “I wish that there would be a peer review of this,” he said, referring to the NIST investigation. “I think all the records that NIST has assembled should be archived. I would really like to see someone else take a look at what they’ve done; both structurally and from a fire point of view. … I think the official conclusion that NIST arrived at is questionable.

Principal, TRG Consulting Global / Architecture, Urban Design, Planning, Project Strategies. Veteran U.S. Army, awarded the Bronze Star for bravery and the Purple Heart for injuries sustained in Viet Nam – says:

The collapse was too symmetrical to have been eccentrically generated. The destruction was symmetrically initiated to cause the buildings to implode as they did

• And a prominent physicist with 33 years of service for the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC (Dr. David L. Griscom) said that the official theory for why Building 7 collapsed “does not match the available facts” and supports the theory that the buildings were brought down by controlled demolition

11 Years After 9/11, U.S. And Al Qaeda Come Full Circle In Syria

Saman Mohammadi
Prisonplanet.com
Sept 11, 2012

Washington’s covert alliance with Al-Qaeda terrorists in Syria proves that the U.S. war against Al Qaeda was never genuine. The official 9/11 story served as a sacred myth to brainwash the world and a propaganda cover for the pursuit of criminal imperialist and Zionist goals in the Middle East.

Defeating Al-Qaeda and getting Bin Laden were only the publicly stated goals. They were never pursued with real vigour. America hunting Al-Qaeda is like a dog chasing its own tail. The two are inseparable because they are the same Being. Al-Qaeda is insider code for CIA.

The entire history of the last eleven years about Al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden is a lie. Osama Bin Laden was dead before President/CIA asset Barack Obama stepped into the Oval Office.

The scripted assassination of Bin Laden in May 2011 was presented to the world as the bookend of a ten-year long manhunt drama, but the manhunt never happened and the assassination wasn’t real. Bin Laden wasn’t captured and killed in real life.

Obama is a ghostbuster, and Bin Laden was Casper.

The Bin Laden manhunt was a bad, made-for-TV television movie. The casting, directing, and writing deserve three thumbs down.

But it is useful to rewind the movie back to the beginning, and replay the scene of Bin Laden being visited by the CIA at a hospital in Dubai before the 9/11 events. Although the scene was later taken out of the movie by the directors of official reality at the CIA, it still exists in bootleg copies on the Internet.

Also, the moment when the FBI allowed the Bin Laden family to escape from America on a plane was a scene to remember. This was the original inspiration for the film “Snakes on a Plane.”

Moving Bin Laden out of the picture allowed President Obama’s national security team to concentrate full-time on Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal, Libya, Syria, and Iran.

Despite official denials, the reality that Washington and other Western capitals are directing Al-Qaeda terrorists in Syria and providing them with political and media cover is inescapable.

Prof Michel Chossudovsky wrote on September 8, 2012, in his article,“9/11 Mastermind Osama bin Laden: America’s Anti-Soviet “Peace Warrior” and CIA “Intelligence Asset””:

“Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia: The strategic objective of the US-NATO military operations was to destabilize and destroy the Yugoslav Federation using Al Qaeda terrorist operatives as a means to triggering sectarian strife and ethnic divisions within a socially and culturally diverse national society.

The Bosnia-Kosovo model was replicated in Libya and Syria.”

The fact that Washington is playing the Al-Qaeda card in Syria is an act of imperial desperation. Using terror is what empires in decline do. And the sad thing about it is that America’s national security is not threatened by Syria so it is flushing its money and reputation down the toilet.

Letting Jihadist terrorists, Saudis, Turks, and Israelis take the lead in Syria is not what a great power does. Washington should use its military power to make its dream of destroying Syria a reality. Deferring to Al-Qaeda, a thug in Turkey, and a corrupt royal family in Saudi Arabia is pathetic. If you are going to be a destroyer of the world then fully commit to the role.

Destruction is the only thing Washington has to offer to the world at this moment in time. This is what a great empire has come to: half-ass terrorism and mass murder. It is beyond sad.

America defeated the Nazis and Communists in the 20th century, why is it busying itself with third world dictators in this century? It is a waste of money, manpower, and most important of all, national honour.

You know you’re on the wrong side of history when your best friend in the Middle East is Al-Qaeda, and your so-called “special ally” isblackmailing you into committing suicide.

Teaming up with terrorists is a bad look for America. America should ditch Al-Qaeda and Israel, and restore ties with Iran.

Join us for Groundbreaking 9/11 Anniversary Events
in New York, California and Maryland, September 8-12

Five days of exciting and informative events are planned across the country for the 9/11 anniversary this year, beginning in New York City on September 8 and culminating at the University of Maryland on September 12.

In addition, there will be 9/11 events happening throughout the country, including local screenings of the new 1-hour version of our groundbreaking documentary, 9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out, which has just been uploaded to YouTube!

One of these local screenings will be at the annual 9/11 Truth film festival in Oakland, CA, organized by NCA911Truth.

The University of Maryland seems dedicated to also enlighten their academic community about what really caused the destruction of the Twin Towers and WTC Building 7, as they are bringing in AE911Truth founder Richard Gage, AIA to speak to 200 students on Sept 12. See below for more details.

These street actions, film festivals, and 9/11 symposiums will bring AE911Truth together with 9/11 experts, government whistleblowers, influential activists and media sources that are calling for a new 9/11 investigation. Join us and tell your friends!

New York City, September 8-11

The events in New York City begin with street actions at Ground Zero on September 8, where activists will distribute DVDs, 9/11 Investigator newspapers, WTC evidence cards, and other 9/11 Truth materials to the public. See GroundZero911.com for details.

On September 9, Gage will be one of the featured speakers, along with Experts Speak Out psychologist Robert Griffin, CIA whistleblower Susan Lindauer, investigative reporter Wayne Madsen, broadcast journalist Joe Calhoun, and activist Frank Morales, for How the World Changed After 9/11: A Symposium of Critical Thinkers, the third annual 9/11 Truth conference in New York City.

AE911Truth will be delivering a new presentation at this event called Finding the Hero Within: Lessons from a 9/11 Whistleblower. It will accent the character development of the new “emerging patriot” who is called upon to relentlessly pursue and speak the truth about 9/11.

“We are very excited to give the new talk that we will soon be bringing to students around the country,” Gage said. “Thanks to a few of our gracious donors, campus activities directors from coast to coast will see the 10-minute preview of this new presentation at regional college speaking conferences this fall, and we anticipate that they will decide to bring our newly packaged and vital message to their universities.”

Gage we will also be introducing and screening our 15-minute documentary “Solving the Mystery”with Ed Asner starring in the power-packed short about World Trade Center 7. This will occur at yet another unique 3-day New York event in the history of 9/11 events, “Pause / Press Play” at theKraft Center. Other film makers and speakers such as Penny Little, creator of “9/11 Dust: A Healing Journey”. The event is all about healing from the tragic events of 9/11. To that end we will be also screening the trailer of our new documentary 9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out, which will be pre-viewed and discussed in the topic “We Need the Truth in Order to Heal” on 9/10/12 at 4pm. We will be emphasizing what can be done in order to promote long-lasting healing with this critical information.

New York City will also host the 1st annual Off the Radar Film Festival, which runs from September 8-11 and culminates on the anniversary with a screening of the Final Edition of our Experts Speak Out at the Walker Stage. Gage will introduce the film and answer questions from the audience following the showing of the film, as he has throughout the recent 32-City World Premiere Tour ofExperts Speak Out.

Date/Time	City	Event	Venue
September 8, noon-6 p.m.	New York City, NY	Street Action at Ground Zero	Corner of Vesey St and Church St
September 9, 1-8 p.m.	New York City, NY	How the World Changed After 9/11: A Syposium of Critical Thinkers	Walker Stage
September 10, 4 p.m.	New York City, NY	Screening of Solving the Mystery of WTC 7	Kraft Center

September 12, 7 p.m.	College Park, MD	Finding the Hero Within: Lessons from a 911 Whistleblower	University of Maryland, Nyumburu Cultural Center

The events in New York City are being organized by Mike Figa, Les Jamison, Derek Brose of Houston Free Thinkers and other 9/11 Truth activists who are dedicated to educating others.

Mike Figa expects these anniversary activities to draw scores of people. “The symposium will seek to go beyond 9/11 and look at the larger picture,” he explained. “I feel that the general public is getting more receptive to criticism of the official myth and less reactionary toward the 9/11 Truth message. The more people reached with these events, the better.”

More details about the anniversary events in New York City may be found at GroundZero911.com.

Oakland, California, September 11

Supporters of AE911Truth on the West Coast are encouraged to attend the 9/11 Truth Film Festival in Oakland, California, on September 11.

Experts Speak Out will make its Oakland debut at this festival, which will be held at the Grand Lake Theatre from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. The event also includes a panel headlined by 9/11 researcher Peter Dale Scott and Mickey Huff and Peter Phillips of Project Censored. Bonnie Faulkner, who hosts the KPFA radio show Guns and Butter, will serve as the emcee.

More information is available at SF911Truth.org.

College Park, Maryland, September 12

The University of Maryland will welcome Gage on September 12 for the kickoff of the AE911Truth College Speaking Series at the Nyumburu Cultural Center. Architecture professor Garth Rockcastle, FAIA, will participate in a panel discussion as one of our featured skeptics to question Gage following the presentation.

This event is being organized by undergraduate student Mo Farsh, the leader of the United Youth Movement, an on-campus student group. “It is important that we practice freedom of speech, regardless of the controversy it might spark,” Farsh said. “We believe that it’s essential to face the facts about 9/11 and decide for ourselves, and this event makes that possible.”

More information on this event is also available on the AE911Truth Events page.

Declassified document contradicts Cheney’s claim of Iraqi connection to 9/11

June 20, 2012
Stephen C. Webster
Raw Story

A document declassified this week by the National Security Archive reveals that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) delivered a briefing to the Bush administration which directly contradicts former Vice President Dick Cheney’s claim that 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta visited an Iraqi intelligence official in Prague.

The document (PDF), dated Dec. 1, 2001 and delivered to the White House on the 8th, claims that Atta “did not travel to the Czech Republic on 31 May 2000,” and adds that “the individual who attempted to enter the Czech Republic on 31 May 2000… was not the Atta who attacked the World Trade Center on 11 September 2001.”

Despite this briefing, just days later on Dec. 9, 2001, Cheney told the late Tim Russert, host of Meet the Press, that the meeting in Prague had been “pretty well confirmed.”

Well, what we now have that’s developed since you and I last talked, Tim, of course, was that report that’s been pretty well confirmed, that he did go to Prague and he did meet with a senior official of the Iraqi intelligence service in Czechoslovakia last April, several months before the attack. Now, what the purpose of that was, what transpired between them, we simply don’t know at this point. But that’s clearly an avenue that we want to pursue.

Cheney’s claim was one of the strongest rhetorical links between the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 and Iraq in the administration’s arguments for war, even though it was refuted by the CIA more than once. The initial allegation reportedly came from misinformed Czech intelligence agents, and almost became part of a 2003 speech by the president — a plan that was scrapped after the CIA station in Prague issued a still-classified cable insisting that it was not true.

Even after the CIA had again refuted the link between Iraq and the 9/11 hijacker, Cheney still repeated it during a Sept. 2003 appearance on Meet the Press. Shortly after Russert confronted him with polling that showed as much as 69 percent of Americans believed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was involved in the Sept. 11 attacks, Cheney responded:

With respect to 9/11, of course, we’ve had the story that’s been public out there. The Czechs alleged that Mohamed Atta, the lead attacker, met in Prague with a senior Iraqi intelligence official five months before the attack, but we’ve never been able to develop anymore of that yet either in terms of confirming it or discrediting it. We just don’t know. The problem with that now appears to be that the vice president did know the intelligence was bogus, but continued repeating it to support his argument for war. No link was ever established between the Iraqi regime and the attacks of Sept. 11.

Despite insisting publicly that no deal had been made to invade Iraq in the run-up to war, notes from aides to then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, which were subsequently handed to reporters, showed that he directed the Pentagon to draw up invasion plans on the evening of Sept. 11, 2001.

A survey conducted in Sept. of last year (PDF) by the University of Maryland found that at least 38 percent of Americans still believe the U.S. “found clear evidence in Iraq that Saddam Hussein was working closely with Al Qaeda.” An additional 15 percent still believe Iraq was “directly involved in carrying out” the Sept. 11 attacks.

9/11: Eleven Years On And Still Many Questions Remain

Please note information at the end of this article about a conference being scheduled by Reinvestigate911.org for November 10th, 2012: “Third State and Corporate Crimes Against Democracy.”

– Ed.

8 September 2012
Reinvestigate911.org

PRESS RELEASE

It’s eleven years since the world changing events of 11th Sept 2001, used to justify wars abroad and erosion of civil liberties at home.

9/11 was the excuse for the Iraq war with claims of Al Qaeda links with Saddam Hussein, later shown to be entirely false. (1)

Outside the NATO area, world wide opinion polls indicate a highly sceptical public attitude to the Washington account of 9/11. (3)

Last year’s 9/11 opinion poll in the UK conducted by ICM on behalf of http://www.reinvestigate911.org showed only 7% of respondents believe they have been told the whole story of the 9/11 attacks. (4), (5)

The media in the NATO countries have failed to look into the many unanswered questions feeding public disquiet. Recent revelations have confirmed collusion between the New York Times and intelligence agencies (6).

Meanwhile most members of the 9/11 Commission have now distanced themselves from its findings. (16)

Here are some of the unanswered questions.

Could 9/11 have been nipped in the bud by the CIA’s then secret Osama Bin Laden unit who identified at least two of the alleged 9/11 hijackers as they entered the US, or the FBI’s three field offices which were refused permission to investigate individuals connected with the attacks?

Was 9/11 really such a surprise, as claimed by the Bush Administration? Not so according to newly released CIA documents (7), (8). Bush received several CIA intelligence warnings that attacks were ‘imminent’ in the summer of 2001. Yet Bush ignored them and took no defensive measures. Why?

Richard Clarke, (9) Bush’s anti-terrorism co-ordinator, has accused the CIA of deliberately withholding information that could have prevented the attacks. Ali Soufan, at the time the FBI’s lead Al Qaeda expert, has also criticised the CIA for blocking investigations of suspects prior to 9/11 (10). Why would the CIA and senior FBI administrators have made these decisions?

The events of the day have led to many independent experts posing still unanswered questions.

Andreas von Buelow, German intelligence expert and one time Defence Minister echoes the voices of many US military experts (and Gore Vidal writing in The Observer): “Why, for 60 decisive minutes, the military and intelligence agencies let the fighter planes stay on the ground?” (11)

There has been no detailed explanation for the unprecedented collapse of three multistorey steel frame buildings, World Trade Centre 1, 2, and 7 at near free fall speed, landing neatly in their own footprints. Most of the planes’ jet fuel was burnt off in the initial impacts and Building 7 was not even hit by a plane. The buildings were explicitly designed to withstand a high speed jet impact. (12) (13)

Reinvestigate 911, along with many 9/11 families, first responders, firefighters, pilots, scientists, architects, military officers, CIA and FBI whistleblowers, are calling for an independent re-investigation into 9/11. (14) (15)

Feds to admit link between toxic dust from 9/11 aftermath and up to 50 types of cancer

Flashback: Government’s 9/11 Lies Continue To Affect People’s Health
Flashback: Court Again Clears EPA in 9/11 Toxic Dust Ruling

UK Daily Mail
Sept 20, 2012

For the first time since the 9/11 attack, the federal government is on the verge of recognizing that people who lived near Ground Zero and first responders got cancer from toxic dust from the scene.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health is expected to announce the findings on the 11th anniversary of the terrorist attack tomorrow.

The institute is responsible for deciding whether cancer should be among the illnesses covered by the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act.

Around 50 cancers are expected to be included.

The ruling will mean thousands of people who are sure they got sick in the aftermath of the outrage will be eligible for compensation.

You Can’t Handle the 9/11 Truth

Dees Illustration

Paul Adams, J.D.

Activist Post“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”– Frank Zappa.9/11 was the day the showed us the brick wall at the back of the theatre, the bars on the windows, and the barbed-wire fence around the perimeter. But most American’s have demonstrated that they cannot handle simple truth. Instead, they willfully disregard facts and refuse to think, or engage in Orwellian doublethink, cognitive dissonance, lean on normalcy bias, or continuously entertain themselveswith sports and perversion. Many continue to “just think positive” after watching their fellow citizens massacred on live television.For those that can handle the truth, 9/11 is false flag education day, where we inform others of past false flags to ensure future ones do not occur. The truth movement must ensure that thosedemocidedby the 9/11 false flag did not die in vain.Can YOU Handle 9/11 Truth?One of the best places to start investigating 9/11 is Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth, where over 1,700 certified architects and engineers prove beyond all doubt that the Twin Towers and Building 7 (not hit by a plane) were destroyed by controlled demolition. Make sure you see there documentaries such as Solving the Mystery of World Trade Center 7, 9/11 Blue Print for Truth and9/11 Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out.

Solving the Mystery of World Trade Center 7 begins with one of Europe’s top demolition experts examining WTC 7: “This is controlled demolition. Absolutely. It’s been imploded. It’s a hired job done by a team of experts.” Next WTC 7 is shown collapsing next to other buildings that are known to be controlled demolitions. As you will see, WTC 7 falls in the exact same manner. Narrator Ed Asner notes that it takes months to prepare a 47-story building like WTC 7 for controlled demolition.

Then there is footage from 9/11 where firefighters say, “The building is about to blow up. Move it back.” A medical student and other witnesses heard explosions and described a shock-wave ripping through Building 7 immediately before it imploded. An air force medic describes a 3-2-1 countdown to the implosion. Several reporters, including Dan Rather, immediately recognized that WTC 7 was a “planned implosion.”

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST/government) claims that WTC 7 collapsed due to office fires. However, Richard Gage, architect and founder of AE 911 Truth, points out that no steel skyscraper in history has ever collapsed due to such fires. Gage and structural engineers then prove that WTC 7 collapsed into its own foot print symmetrically at free-fall speed, which even NIST admits. For such a collapse to occur, every steel column would need to be cut at the exact same time. “The symmetry [of the collapse] is the smoking gun,” says another engineer.

Despite the fact that office fires cannot melt steel, there was plenty of molten steel at WTC 7. How did the steel melt? Numerous professors including Steven Jones and Niels Harrit found evidence ofactive thermetic material (nano-thermite) in the dust of WTC 7, that is high-tech explosives used to destroy steel structures. Nano-thermite would explain why 9/11 firefighters gave interviews stating that they saw molten metal “like lava, like being in a foundry.” NIST admits that despite nearly 3,000 people being killed in the 9/11 attacks and explosions (squibs) being clearly visible, they “did not test for the presence of explosive residue.” Most of the 9/11 debris were quickly destroyed by the government before they could be properly tested.

“Lucky” Larry Silverstein, the leaseholder of the World Trade Center on 9/11, admitted on television that Building 7 was “pulled,” a term associated with controlled demolition. Silverstein obtainedinsurance policies in July 2001 for his World Trade Center buildings with a face amount of $3.55 billion (less than two months before 9/11). After 9/11, Silverstein sued the insurance companies arguing that two planes were two separate attacks. He eventual won and was awarded up to $4.57 billion, depending on an appraisal that followed. Lucky Larry, who’ office was in the World Trade Center buildings where he admits he was everyday, claimed he wasn’t there on 9/11 because hiswife scheduled him a dermatologist appointment that day and demanded he go. Four of Larry’s employees on the 88th floor weren’t so lucky, nor were their families.

Additionally, the BBC and other news outlets reported that Building 7 had collapsed 23 minutes before it actually did. This indicates that the news script had been written with foreknowledge of the demolition.

Top US government insider Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik said that Osama Bin Laden died in 2001 of Marfan syndrome and that he was prepared to testify in front of a grand jury that a top general told him directly that 9/11 was a false flag inside job. Pieczenik cannot be dismissed as a “conspiracy theorist”. He served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under three different administrations, Nixon, Ford and Carter, while also working under Reagan and Bush senior, and still works as a consultant for the Department of Defense. A former US Navy Captain, Pieczenik achieved two prestigious Harry C. Solomon Awards at the Harvard Medical School as he simultaneously completed a PhD at MIT.

“They ran the attacks,” said Pieczenik, specifically naming members of the Bush administration …“I taught stand down and false flag operations at the national war college, I’ve taught it with all my operatives so I knew exactly what was done to the American public,” he added.

Pieczenik is not alone as hundreds of senior government officials challenge the official 9/11 story.

According to former FBI Special Agent in Charge, Ted Gunderson, 9/11 was an obvious inside job. Witnesses like Jeffrey Smith agree.

The authors of the Project for the New American Century’s (PNAC) report entitle Rebuilding America’s Defenses remain unaccountable. In the Report, written one year before 9/11, they state that Americans will not support the military conquest of the Middle East “absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event––like a new Pearl Harbor.” That Pearl Harbor was 9/11, which served as the pretext for the invasions of Afghanistan, Iraq, and predator drone bombings in Pakistan. PNAC members and/or report signatories include Dick Cheney (Council on Foreign Relations), Elliott Abrams (CFR), Richard Armitage (CFR), Donald Rumsfeld (CFR), Paul Wolfowitz (CFR), Robert Zoellick (CFR), Lewis (Scooter) Libby, William Kristol (CFR), Steve Forbes , John Bolton (CFR), Richard Perle (Bilderberg), and many more.

Three months before 9/11, Vice President Dick Cheney usurped control of NORAD, and therefore he alone had the power to call for military aircraft on the hijacked airliners on 9/11. He did not exercise that power until after the World Trade Center and Pentagon were destroyed, when he hadFlight 93 shot down. On the contrary, the Secretary of Transportation on 9/11, Norman Mineta, testified that Dick Cheney gave a stand-down order to U.S. air defense on 9/11. Three months after 9/11, Cheney relinquished command of NORAD and returned it to military operation. Dick Cheneywas the CEO of Halliburton before becoming vice president. Halliburton was awarded no bid contracts to occupy Iraq. After 9/11 Cheney said that the government was going to have to operate in the shadows and “work towards the dark side” in secret.

According to Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Seymour Hersch, Dick Cheney also wanted a false flag event to start a war against the people of Iran. Hersh explained that during the meeting in Cheney’s office, an idea was considered to dress up Navy Seals as Iranians, put them on fake Iranian speedboats, and have U.S. forces shoot at them. This idea, intended to provoke an Iran war, was ultimately rejected.

Dr. Robert Bowman, Lt. Col., USAF, ret., the former head of the Star Wars missile defense program under Presidents Ford and Carter, has gone public to say that the official version of 9/11 is a conspiracy theory and his main suspect for the architect of the attack is Vice President Dick Cheney.

On the morning of 9/11, President George W. Bush visited children at an elementary school. Certain vocabulary words were repeated by the class as Bush watched: “HIT, STEEL, PLANE, MUST.” If we change the order we get PLANE MUST HIT STEEL. In your face.

Shortly after 9/11, George W. Bush gave a speech in which he proclaimed that: “The hijackers were instruments of evil… Behind them is a cult of evil, which seeks to harm the innocent and thrives on human suffering. Theirs is the worst kind of cruelty, the cruelty that is fed, not weakened by tears. Theirs is the worst kind of violence, pure malice while daring to claim the authority of God… It is enough to understand that evil, like goodness, exists. And in the terrorists, evil has found a willing servant.” The “cult of evil behind the hijackers” wouldn’t be Skull and Bones, which formed the CIA (Bin Laden’s employer) and to which three generations of Bushs belong?

Donald Rumsfeld announced that the Pentagon could not account for $2.3 trillion dollars onSeptember 10, 2001. The next day, the story was conveniently lost in the news of the 9/11 attacks. Rumsfeld also admitted that Flight 93 was shot down, which was obvious given the fact that parts of the plane were found scattered over 8-miles.

A number of top pentagon officials and San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown were warned not to fly into New York on the morning of 9/11. Why didn’t the people on the targeted planes get the same warnings?

The FBI had foreknowledge of the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing and refused to stop it. Their informant wanted to replace the live bomb with a fake but the FBI then removed him from the case. The informant felt he was being set-up by the FBI and taped his conversations with the agents. The bombing killed six people and injured over 1,000.

In March of 2001, just months prior to 9/11, former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, wanted to restructure the US government, giving special terror authority to the Executive Branch. Newt impossibly predicted 9/11 and the following Anthrax attacks months before they happened, and planned the anti-Constitutional response.

A special backup network that allows communications between government and military agencies to continue during emergencies was “miraculously” switched on the day before 9/11, and so was already operational when the terrorist attacks in New York and at the Pentagon took place. The Special Routing Arrangement Service (SRAS) was, for reasons unknown, turned on for “exercise mode” on September 10, 2001, and was therefore ready to be utilized the following day, when there was a national emergency like that for which it was intended.

Brenton Greene, the director of the NCS on September 11, told the 9/11 Commission that on September 10, 2001, “miraculously, the SRAS system was turned on for exercise mode and thus it was ready to function on September 11.” Therefore, when the NCS was required to assist the government’s response to the terrorist attacks, the “SRAS was already in exercise mode and operational.”

Governments, including the U.S. government, admit they engage in false flag terror like Operation Northwoods, the Gulf of Tonkin incident, Operation Glaudio, Pearl Harbor, 1993 World Trade Center, Oklahoma City, USS Liberty, Christmas Day event, 7/7, and the list includes every major event leading to war.

Al-Qaeda is nothing more than a database of mercenary fighters trained and funded by the Pentagon and CIA. In 1979, al Qaeda, in the form of the Mujahedeen / Taliban, was America’s secret weapon in Operation Cyclone. While rallying the public behind a war in Afghanistan and Iraq after 9/11, the Bush Administration clandestinely let members of the bin Laden family quietly fly out of the United States, even while all other flights were grounded. It would be revealed in articles about the “Airlift of Evil,” that U.S. forces also covertly exported Taliban forces from Afghanistan to Pakistan to protect them from defeat after 9/11.

Even Globalist Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, admits that Al Qaeda was created and funded by the U.S.

Osama Bin Laden’s family did business with the Bush’s for decades and invested with the Bush’s in the Carlyle Group. Bin Laden was a leader of the U.S. proxy army known as the Mujahedeen that defeated the Soviets in Afghanistan. Bin Laden met with FBI agent Ted Gunderson to purchase stinger missiles to use against the Soviets.

Al Qaeda leader Anwar Al-Awlaki was claimed to be the first American on the CIA’s kill or capture list, but he was also a lunch guest of military brass at the Pentagon within months after 9/11. According to Army Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Shaffer, Al-Awlaki was a triple-agent and FBI assetprior to 9/11.

Adam Gadahn, the so-called Al Qaeda spokesman and leader, who allegedly produced Al-Qaeda videos like those scary ones with men wearing masks climbing across monkey bars in the desert. His story and the charges against him lack solid facts as you can see by reading his profile.

In short, Osama Bin Laden’s family had close ties to the Bush family and Osama was an admitted CIA asset. Anwar Al-Awlaki was an American born in the United States. Adam Gadahn was an American born in the United States. Al Qaeda was “made in the U.S.A.”

Additionally, many of the alleged 9/11 hijackers are “alive and well.” “The reason why 9/11 was not mentioned on Osama Bin Laden’s most wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11,” said Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI.

Al Qaeda is still funded and supported by the U.S. and NATO for the purpose of destabilizing Libya and Syria with help from British SAS troopers.

Even the BBC admits that Al Qaeda does not really exist as we have been told it does.

The alleged 9/11 mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, only confessed after being waterboarding(tortured) 183 times during March of 2003. Mohammed’s was also told that his children would be harmed and even confessed to murdering journalist Daniel Peale, despite the fact that he clearly did not commit that murder.

John Yoo, President George W. Bush’s legal advisor and author of the infamous torture memos, says there is no legal issues with crushing the testicles of a terror suspect’s child to extract information. Yoo has been convicted of war crimes and teaches law at UC Berkeley.

The story of the Navy Seal Team 6 raid that allegedly killed Bin Laden is also an obvious fraud. Maybe that’s why Seal Team 6 soldiers allegedly died in a helicopter crash weeks after the fabled raid.

There is an abundance of evidence that the U.S. government had foreknowledge of the attacks andinsider stock trading on companies most affected by 9/11 increased dramatically the prior week.

Mike Springman, the former head of the American visa bureau in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, blew the whistle and revealed that the alleged 9/11 hijackers were provided visas from the CIA.

Evidence of 9/11 foreknowledge indicates that Al-Qaeda (a perceived outside threat) is from Report from Iron Mountain or Hermann Goering’s war playbook:

Naturally the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country

George W. Bush planned to stage a false flag attack after 9/11 to justify the invasion of Iraq. “Mr. Bush told Mr. Blair that the US was so worried about the failure to find hard evidence against Saddam that it thought of “flying U2 reconnaissance aircraft planes with fighter cover over Iraq, painted in UN colours”. Mr. Bush added: “If Saddam fired on them, he would be in breach [of UN resolutions]“.

Abundant evidence links Israeli intelligence agencies to 9/11. Of the 90 or so detained Israelis after 9/11, there was a group of five Israelis, now widely known as the “dancing Israelis“, who were spotted in multiple locations filming, and celebrating the attacks. The men were detained by NYPD. The police and FBI field agents became very suspicious when they found maps of the city with certain places highlighted, box cutters (the same items that the hijackers supposedly used), $4,700 cash stuffed in a sock, and foreign passports. The dancing Israelis later appeared on an Israeli talk show and claimed to be “documenting the event”. Witnesses reported they were set up PRIOR to the first plane strike, and were seen congratulating one another afterward. The five jubilant Israelis were also seen photographing one another.

Christopher Bollyn has also researched the Israel link to 9/11.

Best Selling author Joel Rosenburg predicted a 9/11 type event in his book The Last Jihad, nine months before it happened. Interestingly, Rosenberg “served as a communications advisor for a number of U.S. and Israeli leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu…” Rosenburg’s latest book is entitled Implosion; very fitting considering the implosion of the World Trade Center Towers symbolized the future implosion of the real U.S. economy which was finalized in 2008 as we will soon find out.

Zbigniew Brzezinski, Jimmy Carter’s National Security Advisor and CFR/Trilateral Commission/Bilderberg member and the man that created Al Qaeda, suggested that the government carryout false-flag operations on the United States to justify war with Iran.

In his 1997 Book, The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives,Brzezinski wrote of the necessity for the U.S. to seize control the Eurasian Balkans , “…the Eurasian Balkans are infinitely more important as a potential economic prize: an enormous concentration of natural gas and oil reserves is located in the region, in addition to important minerals, including gold.”

Brzezinski is well known for his quote that “today it is infinitely easier to kill a million people then to control a million people.” He also wrote: “The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities.”

Like Brzezinski, CFR member Gary Hart wrote a letter suggesting that the U.S. would engage in false flag operations to justify military actions against Iran. In fact, he references several past admittedly staged events such as the sinking of the Maine and Gulf of Tonkin incident.

FBI translator Sibel Edmonds, was dismissed and gagged by the D.O.J. after she revealed that the government had foreknowledge of plans to attack American cities using planes as bombs as early as April 2001. In July of ’09, Edmonds broke the Federal gag order and went public to reveal that Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda and the Taliban were all working for and with the C.I.A. up until the day of 9/11.

Former CIA officials admitted to faking a Bin Laden video.

A Boeing 757 has a wingspan of 125 feet yet the pre-collapse hole in the Pentagon was approximately 16 feet wide. Not one photo of a plane hitting the Pentagon, one of most secure and video monitored buildings in the world, has been released. Army Specialist, April Gallop, who was injured by the Pentagon explosion and saw the hole that it caused, saw no evidence that a plane hit the building. Preliminary CNN reports found no evidence that a plane hit the Pentagon.

The 9/11 Commission Report is a 571 Page Lie that omits WTC Building 7. Documents reveal that the government warned the 9/11 Commission against getting to the bottom of the September 11 terror attacks in a letter signed by Attorney General John Ashcroft, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and CIA Director George J. Tenet. Additionally, Bush and Cheney refused to appear before the Commission separately and both refused to testify under oath, instead meeting with panel members informally and in private, with no recordings of the meeting allowed.

The senior counsel to the 9/11 Commission, John Farmer, said that the government agreed not to tell the truth about 9/11. Senator Max Cleland, resigned from the 9/11 Commission after calling it a “national scandal.” Cleland also said, “One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9-11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up.”

9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerry said, “There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some alternative to what we outlined in our version,” Kerry said. The commission had limited time and limited resources to pursue its investigation, and its access to key documents and witnesses was fettered by the administration.” 9/11 Commissioner Tim Roemer, stated that Commission members were considering a criminal probe of false statements. As quoted, “We were extremely frustrated with the false statements we were getting.”

Journalist Luke Rudkowski finds the Chairman of the 9/11 Commission Report Thomas Kean and won’t leave him alone until the unanswered questions about 9/11 are answered. Of course Kean run’s away, dodges questions and calls over security during the questioning when asked about Philip Zelikow’s 9/11 Commission outline, that was written before the investigation started.

Drills such as “Vigilant Guardian” were being run during the 9/11 attacks which confused U.S. NORAD (air defense) personnel and pilots. London underground bombing ‘exercises’ also took place at the same time of the 7/7 terror attacks. Police sources confirmed that hours before Anders Behring Breivik launched his deadly attack at a political summer camp on Utøya island on July 22, police had conducted a drill for a “practically identical scenario.” The chance that drills would be going at the same time and in the same locations as the actual attacks is statistically impossiblefor one event, let alone all three of them.

Several informed people such as Alex Jones, William Cooper and Lyndon LaRouche predicted 9/11 based on the corporate media’s predictive programming in the months preceding the attacks.

9/11 served as the justification for the invasion of Afghanistan, where U.S. troops guard and support the opium trade. As of 2010, estimates state that 19,629 Afghans were killed and 48,644 injured due to the invasion. Ninety-two percent of Afghans have never even heard of 9/11.

9/11 served as the justification for the invasion of Iraq, where British Petroleum and Halliburton increased their profits. Despite having no connection to 9/11, as of 2010,estimates state that 900,338 Iraqis have been killed, 1,690,903 injured and millions displaced.

Many people were deceived into joining the military to avenge 9/11 by invading Afghanistan and Iraq. As of August 20, 2011, there have been 2,689 coalition troop deaths in Afghanistan and 4,792 in Iraq. It is estimated that over 100,000 coalition troops have been wounded, with many loosing limbs. One American soldier commits suicide every day.

Pat Tillman wanted to tell you truth but “friendly fire” shot him in the three times from just thirty feet away.

As far back as March 2003, immediately after the invasion, Tillman famously told his comradeSpc. Russell Baer, “You know, this war is so fucking illegal,” and urged his entire platoon to vote against Bush in the 2004 election. Far from the gung-ho gruff stereotype attributed to him, Tillman was actually a fiercely intellectual man with the courage of his convictions firmly in place.

The dumbed-down and indoctrinated American public is willing to attend motivational speeches given by war criminals and those that should be indicted by a grand jury for 9/11.

Dozens of documentaries have obliterated the official 9/11 story.

On the morning of 9/11, George W. Bush, Sr. attended a Carlyle Group meeting that Bin Laden’s Brother, Shafig bin Laden, also attended. The Bush and Bin Laden families both invested in the Carlyle Group, which is one of the world’s largest defense contractors and profited greatly from 9/11 and the War on Terror. In October 1997 Carlyle acquired United Defense Industries.

Solicitor General Ted Olson’s claim that his wife Barbara Olsen called him twice from Flight 77, describing hijackers with box cutters, was a central plank of the official 9/11 story. However, the technology to enable cell phone calls from high-altitude airline flights was not created until 2004. American Airlines confirmed that Flight 77 was a Boeing 757 and that this plane did not have airplane phones on board. According to the FBI, Barbara Olsen attempted to call her husband only once and the call failed to connect.

On October 22, 2008, Yukihisa Fujita, Congressman for the Democratic Party of Japan made a 20-minute speech on the floor of the Japanese Diet or House of Representatives. For the third time that year he directly questioned the official version of 9/11.

Former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge wrote in his book that he was pressured by other members of President George W. Bush’s Cabinet to raise the nation’s terror alert just before the 2004 presidential election. Ridge did not believe there was a legitimate need to raise the alert.

On September 11, 2001 at around 10am, a giant white plane was seen and filmed over restricted airspace near the White House. The aircraft, later identified as an E-4B modified Boeing 747-200, has never been officially explained and was completely left out of the now infamous 9/11 Commission Report like Building 7. Victor Thorn, an author and writer for American Free Press, has reported that after speaking with author Mark Gaffney he confirmed that the E-4B has the ability to communicate with all military commands worldwide. It can essentially be used as a complete substitute for the Pentagon. According to Gaffney as well as the Omaha World Herald, three E-4Bs were involved in a massive war game simulation called Global Guardian on the day of the 9/11 terror attacks. Even more suspicious, multiple authors and researchers have confirmed that none other than Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg attendee Brent Scowcroft was aboard the E-4B seen near the White House. In the past E-4Bs have been used in continuity of government exercises and on the day of 9/11 it is very possible that this was exactly what happened. Officials on board, obviously somehow aware that no plane was going to hit the White House, could have been planning and attempting to execute a sort of coup to take control of the country.

Five days after the 9/11 attack, Christie Todd Whitman, then head of the Environmental Protection Agency, stated that the ground zero air was safe to breathe. However, the EPA’s own Office of the Inspector General later revealed that this was an outright lie as Asbestos levels were known to be three times higher than national standards. “Whitman’s deliberate and misleading statements to the press, where she reassured the public that the air was safe to breathe around lower Manhattan and Brooklyn, and that there would be no health risk presented to those returning to those areas, shocks the conscience,” Manhattan Federal Judge Deborah Batts wrote in February 2006. Now that it is public knowledge and proven that the government conspired to lie about the toxic dust, putting thousands of people’s lives at risk, and leading to the deaths of hundreds, why on earth should we so readily believe any other aspect of what they told us in the days and weeks after the tragic event?

Some researchers believe that 9/11 was more than a false flag murder for political purposes, rather it also served as an occult ritual, like the ones conducted by world leaders at Bohemian Grove(Bush Family, Nixon, Kissinger, etc.). Were there evil faces in the smoke? Is it significant that the construction of the Pentagon started on September 11, 1941. How much planning of death has occurred in that building? Is it significant that President George Bush Sr. announced the birth of theNew World Order on September 11, 1991?

The following individuals have written books and stand to profit from their tales of 9/11: George W. Bush (CFR), Tony Blair (Bilderberg), Dick Cheney (CFR), John Yoo (CFR), Donald Rumsfeld (CFR),John Ashcroft (CFR), Tom Ridge (CFR), Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell (who provided the United Nations with false information to justify the invasion of Iraq after 9/11), and John Bolton (CFR – W. Bush’s Ambassador to the United Nations), Karl Rove, former U.S. Homeland Security chiefMichael Chertoff (CFR – who invests in defense contractors and airport naked body scanner manufacturer Rapiscan), and Mayor Rudolph Giuliani (CFR).

The following individuals have been convicted of war crimes: President George W. Bush and his associates namely Richard Cheney, former U.S. Vice President, Donald Rumsfeld, former Defence Secretary, Alberto Gonzales, then Counsel to President Bush, David Addington, then General Counsel to the Vice-President, William Haynes II, then General Counsel to Secretary of Defence, Jay Bybee, then Assistant Attorney General, and John Choon Yoo, former Deputy Assistant Attorney-General.

Cass Sunstein, the administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, considers individual who doubt government propaganda national security threats. He has outlined plans for the government to infiltrate “conspiracy groups”, including the 9/11 Truth Movement, in order to undermine them via postings on chat rooms and social networks, as well as real meetings. On page 14 of Sunstein’s January 2008 white paper entitled “Conspiracy Theories,” he proposed that “under imaginable conditions” the government “might ban conspiracy theorizing” and could “impose some kind of tax, financial or otherwise, on those who disseminate such theories.” In effect, Obama’s information czar wants to tax or ban outright, as in make illegal, opinions and ideas that the government doesn’t approve of. COINTELPRO was used against Martin Luther King Jr. and “almost all groups protesting the Vietnam War.”

The threat of real terrorism (not government sponsored) is a total fraud. More Americans civilians die from intestinal illness than from terrorism. Figures collected in a study clearly show that Americans are just as likely, or more likely, to be killed by accident-causing deer or severe allergic reactions to peanuts than they are in terrorist attacks.

“Number of American civilians who died worldwide in terrorist attacks last year: 8 — Minimum number who died after being struck by lightning: 29.” That’s the threat in the name of which a vastdomestic Security State is constructed, wars and other attacks are and continue to be launched, and trillions of dollars are transferred to the private security and defense contracting industry at exactly the time that Americans — even as they face massive wealth inequality — are told that they must sacrifice basic economic security because of budgetary constraints.

The homeland security apparatus that was created after 9/11 to allegedly monitor foreign terrorists has now been turned inward, with Homeland Security focused on “domestic terror threats.” Such threats include returning U.S. war veterans, libertarians, opposition to the private Federal Reserve banking cartel, and constitutionalists.

Despite the contents of this article, the mainstream corporate media continues to state that there is “no evidence” casting doubt on the government’s 9/11 story. Skewed or outright fake polls are often cited while polls showing that the majority doubts the official 9/11 story are ignored. By refusing to report powerful evidence clearly demonstrating that 9/11 was a false flag event using controlled demolition, it can be argued that the corporate media is aiding and abetting terrorists, thereby becoming accessories to 9/11 and the subsequent wars and deaths.

9/11 First Responders – including police, fire fighters, EMTs and others– were barred from attending the ceremony commemorating the 10th Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Instead, warmongering politicians including Obama and George W. Bush will grandstand at Ground Zero.

9/11 served as the justification for the Constitution-shredding Patriot Act, warrantless-wiretaps of U.S. citizens, indefinite detention under the NDAA, FEMA Camps and other devastating attacks on unalienable rights. It was also used to justify torture of those that allegedly fought against U.S. invasions of their countries and possibly even their children.

After 9/11, Homeland Security imposed unpopular TSA naked body scanners and groping pat-downs on travelers and their children. In addition to conditioning the public to accept warrantless searches at airports, the DHS has rolled out checkpoints, mobile x-ray vans on public streets & highways, on trains, buses and boats, as well as at sport stadiums, hotels and shopping malls and beyond. Whistle blower Russell Tice revealed that the NSA is spying on Americans without warrants and building a database of everyone. Likewise, Mark Klein revealed that AT&T is working with the government to monitor all internet activity and emails.

9/11 was used for the destruction of posse comitatus. Now military police kidnap people off the streets in broad daylight and stuff them into unmarked cars. The TSA has invaded roads and highways with VIPR checkpoints in violation of the 4th Amendment.

9/11 and the War on Terror Hoax has been used to transform the United States into a technocratic police state ruled by iron fisted murderous criminals. 9/11 lead to the National Defense Act of 2011becoming law, which allows for U.S. citizens to be detained indefinitely without charges, trial, or any type of due process. The FAA predicts that 30,000 drones will be used to spy on Americans by 2020, many of which will be armed.

The real 9/11 suspects must be indicted before a grand jury and those that stand for truth must be supported. A list of people to indict and investigate for 9/11 and war crimes can be found athttp://www.whodidit.org/cocon.html.

For at least 15 years, the police, military and foreign troops have been practicing rounding up Americans and placing them in concentration camps with drills such as Urban Warrior. Relocating children under the guise of an emergency has also been practiced. The FEMA camps have been activated.

The criminals that planned and executed 9/11 have ordered approximately 1.4 billon rounds of hollow-point ammunition year-to-date (hollow-points not for target practice but for maximum damage) for Homeland Security (for domestic use, not the military). What is this ammo for? The criminals have their martial law plans in place. They are even developing robots to hunt down political dissidents. When they pull their next false flag, will you be fooled again or can you handle Rex 84 and 9/11 truth?

A time comes when silence is betrayal. — Martin Luther King Jr.

Statement of September 11th Advocates Regarding Guantanamo Bay Military TribunalsFor Immediate Release

May 4, 2012It would seem that the U.S. Government found itself in a conundrum when they allowed prisoners, like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM), to be tortured in secret prisons around the world. Once tortured, any confession or testimony from KSM, or others, could not be deemed reliable. Furthermore, the focus of the eventual proceedings would become a trial about the practice of torture, instead of being a trial about alleged terrorist crimes. That would have been untenable for the U.S. Government, which wants to avoid any and all accountability for their own crimes of torture.

In order to bypass potential discussion of torture, the latest Chief Prosecutor for the Military Commissions, Brig. General Mark Martins, found a willing witness in Majid Khan, a fellow GITMO inmate to KSM. Khan himself was not involved in the 9/11 plot. He supposedly got his information from time spent behind bars at GITMO with KSM. Kahn will be allowed to give this hearsay evidence against KSM in return for a reduced sentence. However, Khan’s sentencing won’t take place for four years. It seems the Prosecution is pinning their hopes and dreams on Khan’s upcoming performance. None of this lends credibility to an already suspect system.

Additionally, with campaigning for the upcoming Presidential elections heating up, the timing of this latest attempt at justice for 9/11 is exploitive at best.

Lorie Van Auken9/11 defendants charged in Guantanamo court

May 5, 2012

Hindustan TimesThe five men accused of plotting the deadly September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States were formally charged on Saturday with crimes that include murder and terrorism.Confessed mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the four other accused opted to plead neither innocent nor

guilty, but rather to defer their plea to a later date.The special military tribunal charged Mohammed, 47, and the four others with “conspiracy, attacking civilians, murder and violation of the law of war, destruction, hijacking, terrorism” for their role in the strikes in which Al-Qaeda militants flew hijacked airliners into the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania.If found guilty, the five face the death penalty for their role in the attacks that killed 2,976 people.Mohammed was charged along with his Pakistani nephew Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali, also known as Ammar al-Baluchi; Mustapha al-Hawsawi of Saudi Arabia; and Yemenis Ramzi Binalshibh and Walid bin Attash.After a hearing lasting more than nine hours, Mohammed and the co-defendants — in a much-anticipated first public appearance in three years — opted to defer their plea.”Maybe you’re not going to see us any more,” Binalshibh shouted out in a dramatic moment at the arraignment hearing in the US base in southeastern Cuba, telling Judge James Pohl, “You are going to kill us.”Dressed in white jumpsuits, with some wearing white turbans, the men mostly watched the proceedings in silence, refusing to engage with the officials.Binalshibh interrupted however by suddenly standing to pray, and then alternately kneeling and standing.He also shouted out: “The era of Kadhafi is over but you have Kadhafi in the camp … you are going to kill us and say that we are committing suicide.”Only one, bin Attash, was handcuffed when the group was brought into court, but Pohl ordered the manacles removed after being assured he would “behave appropriately.”The arraignment, one of the last steps before a so-called “trial of the century” takes place, marks the second time the United States has tried to prosecute the 9/11 suspects.During the procedures the five men mostly kept their eyes fixed on the ground. Two of them were reading a book which appeared to be the Koran, while they were also passing a copy of The Economist magazine among themselves.”Accused refused to answer,” Pohl repeated over and over again, each time an accused defiantly refused to respond to questions.Mohammed, dubbed KSM for his initials, remained calm, his long, flowing beard appearing to have been dyed with red henna.Mohammed’s lawyer David Nevin said his client, who three years ago confessed to the 9/11 attacks “from A to Z,” probably would not speak at the hearing because he is “deeply concerned by the fairness of the process.”The accused men also refused to wear headphones to hear the simultaneous translation of the proceedings, which were being held in English. Their lawyers said it reminded them of their harsh interrogations.Bin Attash’s civilian attorney Cheryl Borman, the only woman on the defense team, was dressed in black and wore a hijab. “Because of what happened to them … during the last eight years, these men have been mistreated,” she argued.The hearing comes about one year after President Barack Obama ordered the US Navy SEALs raid that killed Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden.The five men have been held for years at the US naval base in southeastern Cuba while a legal and political battle has played out over how and where to prosecute them. Debates have also raged over their treatment.Mohammed was arrested in 2003 and spent three years in secret CIA jails where he was subjected to harsh interrogations, including waterboarding, and confessed to a series of attacks and plots.The Pentagon opened four military bases in the United States to allow families of the 9/11 victims to watch the case unfold on a giant screen.The trial could still be years away, unless Mohammed pleads guilty to be put to death sooner and become a “martyr” for al Qaeda. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed: former military prosecutor denounces trialby Chris McGreal

May 4, 2012

Guardian.co.ukMorris Davis says allowing evidence from torture means the world will never see Guantanamo Bay trials as fairThe former chief US prosecutor at Guantanamo Bay has denounced the military trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks due to appear in court at Guantanamo on Saturday, as intended primarily to prevent the defendants from presenting evidence of torture.Morris Davis, a former colonel who was chief prosecutor when Mohammed was brought to Guantanamo in 2006, said the military commissions will be badly discredited by the use of testimony obtained from waterboarding and other “enhanced interrogation” techniques used on the accused men.Mohammed and his four co-accused – Ramzi bin al-Shibh, Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali, Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi and Walid bin Attash – are to appear at an arraignment hearing before a military commission to plead to charges of 2,976 counts of murder for each of the victims who died on 9/11, terrorism, hijacking, conspiracy and destruction of property. The prosecution is seeking the death penalty for all of the men.Davis, who resigned over the issue, wanted to see Barack Obama follow through on a commitment to move the trials to more open civilian courts but said that advocates of military tribunals prevailed in large part because the rules of evidence prevent the defendants from giving detailed descriptions of how they were tortured as well as other sensitive information such as details of the CIA’s secret detention programme and the co-operation of foreign countries, such as Britain, in their capture and interrogations.”The truth is the reason the apologists want a second-rate military commission option is because of what we did to the detainees, not because of what the detainees did to us,” he told the Guardian. “If you look beneath the layers on why there’s even an argument for military commissions, it’s really about our mistreatment of detainees – a fairly small number of people for a short period of time that because of what most people would call torture, it makes it a greater challenge to prosecute the cases in our regular courts.”Other senior military lawyers have objected to the trials, including Rear Admiral Donald Guter, the former judge advocate general of the navy, who called the Guantanamo commissions a “circus”.Second trial for MohammedThis weekend’s hearing will be the second attempt to try Mohammed. At a similar hearing in 2008, he tried to plead guilty, saying he wanted to be put to death as a martyr, but the US supreme court later struck down the rules of evidence and the trial was called off.At the time, Mohammed said: “After torturing, they transferred us to inquisition land in Guantanamo.”Obama came to power a year later promising to scrap the military tribunals and close the Guantanamo prison because they were “a symbol that helped al-Qaida recruit terrorists to its cause”, but Congress blocked the move.The president did oversee important changes to the conduct of the military trials including new rules that do not allow a defendant’s own confessions under torture to be used against him. But the statements of others who were tortured can be used which permits the interrogations of the five accused to be used against each other.The military tribunal rules also forbid discussion of torture and other sensitive information that would be heard in a civilian court. The public and press are kept behind a glass screen at Guantanamo and the proceedings they hear are subject to a 40-second delay so censors can block testimony the government does not want made public.The five accused were held incommunicado for several years by the CIA which subjected Mohammed to waterboarding 183 times. Other forms of torture used against the men, with legal cover from the Bush administration, included being made to stand naked for days at a time, beatings, being smashed against walls, threats of rape and sleep deprivation.The International Red Cross described the conditions as inducing “severe physical and mental pain and suffering, with the aim of obtaining compliance and extracting information”.Human rights groups have also criticised the Guantanamo tribunals because the military gets to hand pick the judge and jury, which is made up of men and women serving in the forces fighting al-Qaida. The prosecution has considerable control over defence lawyers’ access to evidence and ability to subpoena witnesses.Davis said the trials will be discredited in the eyes of much of the world.“My greatest concern is that we give a stamp of approval to this second rate process that in the future, if the shoe’s ever on the other foot, if an American GI or citizen are being prosecuted in a second rate procedure somewhere else around the world, we’ve given up the moral argument that it’s inadequate,” he said.”In January, you had an American citizen, Amir Hekmati, convicted in an Iranian court and sentenced to death. Victoria Nuland of our state department in a press conference condemned the conviction and said the procedure was not the same as Iranian citizens get, there was secret proceeding, there was coerced evidence, there was inadequate defence. I’m listening to her talking and I’m thinking that sounds an awful lot like the military commissions in Guantanamo. I think we really give up the right to object when other people do what we’re doing.”Lawyers for the defendants are scepticalThe trial faces a barrage of criticism from other quarters. Kenneth Roth, the director of Human Rights Watch, said it will not have credibility.”The victims of the horrific 9/11 attacks deserve justice, but using a tribunal that allows coerced evidence will never be seen as fair,” he said. “By doing so, President Obama has both compromised prospects for a credible trial and undermined inquiry into Bush-era interrogation practices. That is a gift to terrorist recruiters and a danger to US security.”The US administration has defended the reconfigured military commissions by saying they are much more open than before, including now permitting the defendants to have civilian lawyers. The new rules also offer protections against self-incrimination, ex post facto laws, double jeopardy and introduce a right of appeal.The chief military prosecutor, Brigadier General Mark Martins, urged critics to give the tribunal a chance.”If observers will withhold judgment for a time the system they see will prove itself deserving of public confidence,” he said at Harvard law school last month.But some of the lawyers for the defendants are sceptical.”You can take a $5 mule and put a $10,000 saddle on it and call it reformed,” said Commander Walter Ruiz, a military lawyer for al-Hawsawi. “You still have a $5 mule. It just has a fancy saddle.”‘We’ve screwed this process up for so long’Davis was chief military prosecutor when Mohammed arrived at Guantanamo in 2006.”He’s such an arrogant guy that we joked about charging his co-accused as capital cases eligible for the death penalty but not him. We thought it would aggravate the hell out of him that we thought somebody was more important than he was. It would really offend him that somebody else got the death penalty and he didn’t, they were a bigger player than him,” he said.”That’s what he wants. He wants to be a martyr. His trial is his last chance to stand up and address the world, and then he wants to be executed and be a martyr. My view is why give him what he wants? His view of hell would be a long and healthy life spent being totally irrelevant.”But a year later, Davis said he turned against the military commissions because he was being pressured to use evidence obtained through torture.”For nearly two years I was the leading advocate for military commissions and for Guantanamo. I honestly believed that we were committed to having full fair and open trials,” he said.Davis said that it was originally agreed that no statements tainted by torture would be used but that changes among more senior officers led to a shift in policy.”My immediate boss who came in in the summer of ’07 said: President Bush said we don’t torture, so if the president says we don’t torture who are you to say we do? We’ve got all this information we collected using these techniques so you need to use it,” he said.”It’s really ironic. When KSM was arraigned in 2008, he said he wanted to plead guilty, he wanted to stand up and tell what he did, and he wanted to be executed and be a martyr for the cause. Then you’ve got the prosecution who want to convict him for what he did, establish what he did, and then execute him for what he did. The two sides are in agreement about what they want to do. It’s how do you get there? We’ve screwed this process up for so long that I just don’t think there’s any way to rehabilitate the evidence of a military commission where the world’s going to look at it and say that’s a credible and fair process.”

ACLU Leader Calls Guantánamo Hearing “Déjà vu All Over Again”May 5, 2012

ACLU.orgExecutive Director Anthony Romero Criticizes Military Commissions for Providing Second-Tier Justice in 9/11 CasesFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CONTACT: (212) 549-2666; media@aclu.orgGUANTÁNAMO BAY, CUBA – The chaos surrounding the arraignment today of five accused conspirators in the 9/11 attacks highlights the failure in connection with the 9/11 attacks highlights the many shortcomings of the military commission system, said American Civil Liberties Union Executive Director Anthony Romero.Romero, who is attending the arraignments at Guantánamo Bay said:”It is déjà vu all over again at the substandard Guantánamo commissions, where the failures and challenges of the original 9/11 cases now plague their latest incarnation. Once again, the consequences of the defendants’ torture and the conditions of their secret confinement loom over the proceedings even when the court does not permit them to be discussed.”Predictably, the government’s interference with the attorney-client relationship and its failure to provide adequate resources to the defense team undermine the system. The American public deserves to see the most important terrorism trials of our time prosecuted in legitimate federal courts capable of providing open, adequately resourced, and fair trials, instead of a commission system deliberately created to provide second-tier justice.”

Goldman Sachs, a part-owner of the Federal Reserve, played a key role in the 2008 credit crunch. The bank is still willing to market questionable products no matter the consequences to clients or society.

The bigger problem is that as long as the private central and commercial banksters create money from nothing, i.e. legalized counterfeiting, and hide behind the shield of corporation personhood, LLC liability exemption and government guaranteed loans, they will keep expropriating from THE PEOPLE and will keep passing their liabilities on the taxpayers, and the ordinary family will continue to be reduced to perpetual and permanent poverty in subservience to the Banksters and their associates.

There is no end in sight to the Elites’ stealing taxpayers past, present and future wealth.

History repeated: In the Great Crash of 1929, Goldman’s investors lost their shirts but Goldman kept its hefty fees.

The bank has defrauded everyone from investors and insurers to homeowners and the unemployed. So why does the government keep bailing it out? This bank is like the world’s worst-behaved teenager, taking your car and running over kittens and fire hydrants on the way to Vegas for the weekend, maxing out your credit cards in the three days you spend at your aunt’s funeral. They’re out of control, yet they’ll never do time or go out of business, because the government remains creepily committed to their survival

11 Reasons Why America Would Be A Better Place Without Goldman Sachs

“Why I Am Leaving Goldman Sachs”What are three quick ways to become a leader?

a) Execute on the firm’s “axes,” which is Goldman-speak for persuading your clients to invest in the stocks or other products that we are trying to get rid of because they are not seen as having a lot of potential profit.

b) “Hunt Elephants.” In English: get your clients — some of whom are sophisticated, and some of whom aren’t — to trade whatever will bring the biggest profit to Goldman. Call me old-fashioned, but I don’t like selling my clients a product that is wrong for them.

c) Find yourself sitting in a seat where your job is to trade any illiquid, opaque product with a three-letter acronym.

It makes me ill how callously people talk about ripping their clients off. Over the last 12 months I have seen five different managing directors refer to their own clients as “muppets,” sometimes over internal e-mail. Even after the S.E.C., Fabulous Fab, Abacus, God’s work, Carl Levin, Vampire Squids? No humility

” Weed out the morally bankrupt people, no matter how much money they make for the firm.”

Robert said (March 16, 2012):

This story sure reminds me of a Monday morning meeting I had a with a corporate rep/lending officer from the Local Credit Union. I was questioning some new policy’s and the direction the place seems to be going in. I was told point blank, right from the horses mouth. “We are no longer interested in community building and or the interests of individual clients” and
“An individual clients reputation is no longer considered and asset” etc

I was totally amazed…. I weep for the future.

–
(asked to elaborate)

was approaching them for project financing with specific terms, something I have done many, many times before with great success and always fulfilled my obligations.

This time I was just told no. When I asked why? the lending officer was very honest with me… he said “this isn’t the same institution it used to be” “I have absolutely no power to go to bat for you based on our excellent past working relationship” “all policy and decisions are now directed by central” Again in his own words. “we basically have a bunch of young kids sitting in a board room doing risk/profit calculations, they have no idea who you are and don’t care”.

My interpretation of his reply was that, its not so much the fact that im now suddenly a big risk after so many years of good relations but that I’m no longer profitable “enough”

MB said (March 16, 2012):

f I may, I would like to offer an additional point of view re: not only Goldman Sachs but the other too big to fail (“TBTF”) banks. I agree wholeheartedly that TBTF banks are inherently greedy entities that have structured their organizations to be ready, willing and able to screw their customers around the clock and globe. However, I don’t believe they screw ALL of their customers.

In fact, I believe have intentionally subordinated their own greed in the last decade to benefit certain “VIP” clients who use massive unbridled derivatives positions to globally invoke pain onto the masses in the form of (i) Credit Crisis, which mopped out many by rapidly deflating most asset classes and (ii) unprecedented Quantitative Easing, which has subsequently robbed virtually all “savers” of any yield on deposits or bonds while selectively re-inflating asset prices, most notably in energy and agriculture sectors to maximize damage to consumers around the world.

TBTF banks put greed aside to accommodate “VIP” customers — who one way or another were allowed to position themselves beneficially — by taking the other/crappy sides of the trades. TBTF banks then “traded out” to the extent possible, thereby schtupping non-VIP clients and designated mega-patsies such as AIG, which they knew full well would be saved by governments due to its large share of the global insurance market. However, TBTF banks had to swallow hard on the remaining crappy derivatives and the rest is history.

---

Brian H said (March 16, 2012):

Resigning from Goldman-Sachs because the company has become a crass machine only interested in making money and not “sensitive to the needs of the clients” is all fine and well, insofar as it goes. But the very NATURE of investment banks in general is the problem, not some “moral fiber” issue like the one reflected in this recent article. The present state of a bank such as this simply represents a logical progression to the level of corruption it finds itself in. As with any institution who from their OUTSET were formed to serve the greater New World Order agenda, this one exemplifies the latest stage moving towards complete Societal decadence.

The question for each person to ask themselves remains, “How far away from it will you remove yourself?”

Goldman Sachs Insider Resigns, Reveals “Toxic’ Culture In Which Managers Called Clients “Muppets’
Last year, Goldman Sachs faced a significant amount of heat when internal emails — in which, bankers described a financial product they sold to clients as a “shitty deal” — became public. Goldman trader Fabrice “Fabulous Fab” Tourre became the face of a bank that cared more about its own internal trading profits than serving the needs of its clients, as shown by an email of his stating that he didn’t even understand the “monstrosities” he was peddling.

One of them, Linda Almonte, is a whistleblower whom I’ve known since last September; I’m working on a recount of her story for my next book.

War law and Constitutional Rights are central to competence in government, citizenry, and military. The US Constitution provides multiple protections of the first Unalienable Right of Life from government murder. The US Constitution is the very definition of what it means to be an American, as you know.

Because all facts prove beyond doubt that a “1%” in government with complicit liars in corporate mediahave engaged in criminal Wars of Aggression, and to date there is no documented refutation of these facts, the elegantly simple solution to War Crimes is arrests of its obvious leaders.

Justice under law works with prima facie evidence; that is, if obviously valid facts are unchallenged, they are our best understanding. When law enforcement that currently serve the criminal 1% achieve this “emperor has no clothes” transformation, they will exercise their arrest authority.

Here is war law; my colleagues and I have not found refutation of what it says or means: it is unlawful for a nation to use armed attack unless another nation’s military has attacked. Our connections are throughout government, academia, and our collective readership is is in the literal millions.

That link also explains the facts from our own government agencies’ official reports of wars on Afghanistan and Iraq. Those facts reveal those two wars as not even close to lawful. My colleagues and I have never found refutation of the case of unlawful wars, or a clear explanation of how the wars are lawful given what war law means.

Please submit links (and summaries if you’d like to communicate to the readers) of any known refutations to the documented facts here. US military have Oaths to protect and defend the US Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Military are also trained to refuse unlawful orders, with officers trained to arrest those who issue them (there are no lawful orders in an unlawful war). I’ll address all claimed refutations; again here.

Here is a summary of the tragic-comic “official reasons” for wars that claim self-defense. These “reasons” are damning testimony of official guilt:

The US admitted the Afghan government had nothing to do with 9/11. The UN Security Council resolved twice for international cooperation for factual discovery and arrest of the 9/11 criminals. The US demanded military access into Afghanistan; Afghanistan agreed to arrest anyone upon evidence of criminal involvement (Bush: “There’s no need to discuss evidence”), and of course refused another nation’s military into their country. The US violated the legally-binding resolutions and Constitutionally-binding treaty by armed attack, invasion, and occupation.

• The US admitted Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. The UN Security Council had a standing ceasefire that only they had authority to remove. The US lied about enriched uranium, aluminum tubes, links to terrorism, and weapons; all in Orwellian contradiction to all 16 US Intelligence Agencies’ written work. The US lied about all best intelligence to push lies for months, then violated war law to attack, invade, and occupy.

This cites the official US position that war on Libya was lawful and its easy refutation as the opposite of lawful. This is an important addition to anyone interested in the first unalienable right of Life from government murder.

Here is the US government claiming it can Constitutionally assassinate Americans upon the non-reviewable dictate of the leader, as these criminals take psychopathic steps to murder Americans who expose their crimes.

Here is NDAA 2012 where US government claims it can Constitutionally disappear Americans and then appoint a tribunal with death sentence authority (unless unlimited detention is their choice). Here is the 2006 Military Commissions Act that says the same. This is more fascist terrorism to silence Americans from communicating to the 99% that the 1% are War Criminals to arrest NOW.

Here is US government claiming it can Constitutionally control-drown (waterboard) anyone they declare a “terrorist” as a 1% terror-tactic to silence Americans.

So let me be perfectly clear:

• Citizens of the 99%: command the facts of these War Crimes and demand arrests of the obvious criminals in government and their lying media accomplices.
• Military and law enforcement of the 99%: please end the war-murders of millions, harm to billions, and looting of trillions of the 99%‘s wealth to the criminal 1%. Exercise your arrest authority for obvious criminals engaged in the worst crimes a nation can commit: war and looting.
• Professional educators of the 99%:  how are you teaching US War Crimes and destruction of the US Constitution? Or can you refute the facts my colleagues and I find as “emperor has no clothes” obvious? Have the intellectual integrity and moral courage to do your job of teaching facts and refuting obvious and egregious lies.

With great respect and appreciation for the contribution you’ll all make to justice under law,

Carl

Asia Times
By Lars Schall

Is there any truth in the allegations that informed circles made substantial profits in the financial markets in connection to the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, on the United States?

Arguably, the best place to start is by examining put options, which occurred around Tuesday, September 11, 2001, to an abnormal extent, and at the beginning via software that played a

key role: the Prosecutor’s Management Information System, abbreviated as PROMIS. [i]

PROMIS is a software program that seems to be fitted with almost “magical” abilities. Furthermore, it is the subject of a decades-long dispute between its inventor, Bill Hamilton, and various people/institutions associated with intelligence agencies, military and security consultancy firms. [1]

One of the “magical” capabilities of PROMIS, one has to assume, is that it is equipped with artificial intelligence and was apparently from the outset “able to simultaneously read and integrate any number of different computer programs or databases, regardless of the language in which the original programs had been written or the operating systems and platforms on which that database was then currently installed.” [2]

And then it becomes really interesting:

What would you do if you possessed software that could think, understand every major language in the world, that provided peep-holes into everyone else’s computer “dressing rooms”, that could insert data into computers without people’s knowledge, that could fill in blanks beyond human reasoning, and also predict what people do – before they did it? You would probably use it, wouldn’t you? [3]

Granted, these capabilities sound hardly believable. In fact, the whole story of PROMIS, which Mike Ruppert develops in the course of his book Crossing the Rubicon in all its bizarre facets and turns, seems as if someone had developed a novel in the style of Philip K Dick and William Gibson. However, what Ruppert has collected about PROMIS is based on reputable sources as well as on results of personal investigations, which await a jury to take a first critical look at.

This seems all the more urgent if you add to the PROMIS capabilities “that it was a given that PROMIS was used for a wide variety of purposes by intelligence agencies, including the real-time monitoring of stock transactions on all the world´s major financial markets”. [4]

We are therefore dealing with a software that
a) Infiltrates computer and communication systems without being noticed.
b) Can manipulate data.
c) Is capable to track the global stock market trade in real time.

Point c is relevant to all that happened in connection with the never completely cleared up transactions that occurred just before September 11, [5] and of which the former chairman of the Deutsche Bundesbank Ernst Weltke said “could not have been planned and carried out without a certain knowledge”. [6]

I specifically asked financial journalist Max Keiser, who for years had worked on Wall Street as a stock and options trader, about the put option trades. Keiser pointed out in this context that he “had spoken with many brokers in the towers of the World Trade Center around that time. I heard firsthand about the airline put trade from brokers at Cantor Fitzgerald days before.” He then talked with me about an explosive issue, on which Ruppert elaborated in detail in Crossing the Rubicon.

Max Keiser: There are many aspects concerning these option purchases that have not been disclosed yet. I also worked at Alex Brown & Sons (ABS). Deutsche Bank bought Alex Brown & Sons in 1999. When the attacks occurred, ABS was owned by Deutsche Bank. An important person at ABS was Buzzy Krongard. I have met him several times at the offices in Baltimore. Krongard had transferred to become executive director at the CIA. The option purchases, in which ABS was involved, occurred in the offices of ABS in Baltimore. The noise which occurred between Baltimore, New York City and Langley was interesting, as you can imagine, to say the least.

Under consideration here is the fact that Alex Brown, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bank (where many of the alleged 9/11 hijackers handled their banking transactions – for example Mohammed Atta) traded massive put options purchases on United Airlines Company UAL through the Chicago Board Option Exchange (CBOE) – “to the embarrassment of investigators”, as British newspaper The Independent reported. [7]

On September 12, the chairman of the board of Deutsche Bank Alex Brown, Mayo A Shattuck III, suddenly and quietly renounced his post, although he still had a three-year contract with an annual salary of several million US dollars. One could perceive that as somehow strange.

A few weeks later, the press spokesperson of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) at that time, Tom Crispell, declined all comments, when he was contacted for a report for Ruppert´s website From the Wilderness, and had being asked “whether the Treasury Department or FBI [Federal Bureau of Investigation] had questioned CIA executive director and former Deutsche Bank-Alex Brown CEO [chief executive officer], A B ‘Buzzy’ Krongard, about CIA monitoring of financial markets using PROMIS and his former position as overseer of Brown’s ‘private client’ relations.” [8]

Just before he was recruited personally by former CIA chief George Tenet for the CIA, Krongard supervised mainly private client banking at Alex Brown. [9]

In any case, after 9/11 on the first trading day, when the US stock markets were open again, the stock price of UAL declined by 43%. (The four aircraft hijacked on September 11 were American Airlines Flight 11, American Airlines Flight 77 and UAL flights 175 and 93.)

With his background as a former options trader, Keiser explained an important issue to me in that regard.

Max Keiser: Put options are, if they are employed in a speculative trade, basically bets that stock prices will drop abruptly. The purchaser, who enters a time-specific contract with a seller, does not have to own the stock at the time when the contract is purchased.

Related to the issue of insider trading via (put or call) options there is also a noteworthy definition by the Swiss economists Remo Crameri, Marc Chesney and Loriano Mancini, notably that an option trade may be “identified as informed” – but is not yet (legally) proven – “when it is characterized by an unusual large increment in open interest and volume, induces large gains, and is not hedged in the stock market”. [10]

Open interest describes contracts which have not been settled (been exercised) by the end of the trading session, but are still open. Not hedged in the stock market means that the buyer of a (put or call) option holds no shares of the underlying asset, by which he might be able to mitigate or compensate losses if his trade doesn’t work out, or phrased differently: one does not hedge, because it is unnecessary, since one knows that the bet is one, pardon, “dead sure thing.” (In this respect it is thus not really a bet, because the result is not uncertain, but a foregone conclusion.)

In this case, the vehicle of the calculation was “ridiculously cheap put options which give the holder the ‘right’ for a period of time to sell certain shares at a price which is far below the current market price – which is a highly risky bet, because you lose money if at maturity the market price is still higher than the price agreed in the option. However, when these shares fell much deeper after the terrorist attacks, these options multiplied their value several hundred times because by now the selling price specified in the option was much higher than the market price. These risky games with short options are a sure indication for investors who knew that within a few days something would happen that would drastically reduce the market price of those shares.” [11]

Software such as PROMIS in turn is used with the precise intent to monitor the stock markets in real time to track price movements that appear suspicious. Therefore, the US intelligence services must have received clear warnings from the singular, never before sighted transactions prior to 9/11.

Of great importance with regard to the track, which should lead to the perpetrators if you were seriously contemplating to go after them, is this:

Max Keiser: The Options Clearing Corporation has a duty to handle the transactions, and does so rather anonymously – whereas the bank that executes the transaction as a broker can determine the identity of both parties.

But that may have hardly ever been the intention of the regulatory authorities when the track led to, amongst others, Alvin Bernard “Buzzy” Krongard, Alex Brown & Sons and the CIA. Ruppert, however, describes this case in Crossing the Rubicon in full length as far as possible. [12]

In addition, there are also ways and means for insiders to veil their tracks. In order to be less obvious, “the insiders could trade small numbers of contracts. These could be traded under multiple accounts to avoid drawing attention to large trading volumes going through one single large account. They could also trade small volumes in each contract but trade more contracts to avoid drawing attention. As open interest increases, non-insiders may detect a perceived signal and increase their trading activity. Insiders can then come back to enter into more transactions based on a seemingly significant trade signal from the market. In this regard, it would be difficult for the CBOE to ferret out the insiders from the non-insiders, because both are trading heavily.” [13]

The matter which needs clarification here is generally judged by Keiser as follows:

Max Keiser: My thought is that many (not all) of those who died on 9/11 were financial mercenaries – and we should feel the same about them as we feel about all mercenaries who get killed. The tragedy is that these companies mixed civilians with mercenaries, and that they were also killed. So have companies on Wall Street used civilians as human shields maybe?

According to a report by Bloomberg published in early October 2001, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) began a probe into certain stock market transactions around 9/11 that included 38 companies, among them: American Airlines, United Airlines, Continental Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Boeing, Lockheed Martin Corp., American Express Corp., American International Group, AXA SA, Bank of America Corp., Bank of New York Corp., Bear Stearns, Citigroup, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., Morgan Stanley, General Motors and Raytheon. [14]

So far, so good. In the same month, however, the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper reported that the SEC took the unprecedented step to deputize hundreds, if not even thousands of key stakeholders in the private sector for their investigation. In a statement that was sent to almost all listed companies in the US, the SEC asked the addressed companies to assign senior staff for the investigation, who would be aware of “the sensitive nature” of the case and could be relied on to “exercise appropriate discretion”. [15]

In essence, it was about controlling information, not about provision and disclosure of facts. Such a course of action involves compromising consequences. Ruppert:

What happens when you deputize someone in a national security or criminal investigation is that you make it illegal for them to disclose publicly what they know. Smart move. In effect, they become government agents and are controlled by government regulations rather than their own conscience. In fact, they can be thrown into jail without a hearing if they talk publicly. I have seen this implied threat time after time with federal investigators, intelligence agents, and even members of United States Congress who are bound so tightly by secrecy oaths and agreements that they are not even able to disclose criminal activities inside the government for fear of incarceration. [16]

Among the reports about suspected insider trading which are mentioned in Crossing the Rubicon/From the Wilderness is a list that was published under the heading “Black Tuesday: The World’s Largest Insider Trading Scam?” by the Israeli Herzliyya International Policy Institute for Counterterrorism on September 21, 2001:

• Between September 6 and 7, the CBOE saw purchases of 4,744 put options on United Airlines, but only 396 call options. Assuming that 4,000 of the options were bought by people with advance knowledge of the imminent attacks, these “insiders” would have profited by almost $5 million.
• On September 10, 4,516 put options on American Airlines were bought on the Chicago exchange, compared to only 748 calls. Again, there was no news at that point to justify this imbalance; again, assuming that 4,000 of these options trades represent “insiders”, they would represent a gain of about $4 million.
• [The levels of put options purchased above were more than six times higher than normal.]
• No similar trading in other airlines occurred on the Chicago exchange in the days immediately preceding Black Tuesday.
• Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co, which occupied 22 floors of the World Trade Center, saw 2,157 of its October $45 put options bought in the three trading days before Black Tuesday; this compares to an average of 27 contracts per day before September 6. Morgan Stanley’s share price fell from $48.90 to $42.50 in the aftermath of the attacks. Assuming that 2,000 of these options contracts were bought based upon knowledge of the approaching attacks, their purchasers could have profited by at least $1.2 million.
• Merrill Lynch & Co, with headquarters near the Twin Towers, saw 12,215 October $45 put options bought in the four trading days before the attacks; the previous average volume in those shares had been 252 contracts per day (a 1200% increase). When trading resumed, Merrill’s shares fell from $46.88 to $41.50; assuming that 11,000 option contracts were bought by “insiders”, their profit would have been about $5.5 million.
• European regulators are examining trades in Germany’s Munich Re, Switzerland’s Swiss Re, and AXA of France, all major reinsurers with exposure to the Black Tuesday disaster. (Note: AXA also owns more than 25% of American Airlines stock, making the attacks a “double whammy” for them.) [17]

  Concerning the statements of the former chairman of the Deutsche Bundesbank Ernst Welteke, their tenor in various press reports put together is as follows:

  German central bank president Ernst Welteke later reports that a study by his bank indicates, “There are ever clearer signs that there were activities on international financial markets that must have been carried out with the necessary expert knowledge,” not only in shares of heavily affected industries such as airlines and insurance companies, but also in gold and oil. [Daily Telegraph, 9/23/2001] His researchers have found “almost irrefutable proof of insider trading”. [Miami Herald, 9/24/2001] “If you look at movements in markets before and after the attack, it makes your brow furrow. But it is extremely difficult to really verify it.” Nevertheless, he believes that “in one or the other case it will be possible to pinpoint the source”. [Fox News, 9/22/2001] Welteke reports “a fundamentally inexplicable rise” in oil prices before the attacks [Miami Herald, 9/24/2001] and then a further rise of 13 percent the day after the attacks. Gold rises nonstop for days after the attacks. [Daily Telegraph, 9/23/2001] [18]

  Related to those observations, I sent a request via e-mail to the press office of the Deutsche Bundesbank on August 1, 2011, from which I was hoping to learn:
  How did the Bundesbank deal with this information? Did US federal agencies ask to see the study? With whom did the Bundesbank share this information? And additionally: 1. Can you confirm that there is such a study of the Bundesbank concerning 9/11 insider trading, which was carried out in September 2001?
  2. If Yes: what is the title?
  3. If Yes: who were the authors?
  4. If Yes: has the study ever been made available to the public?

  On August 2, I was then informed: “Your mail has been received by us and is being processed under the number 2011 / 011551.” Ultimately, however, the press office of the Deutsche Bundesbank was only available for an oral explanation on the phone. With this explanation, I then turned to the press office of the federal financial regulator in Germany, the Bundesanstalt fur Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht, BaFin, with the following e-mail – and that because of obvious reasons:

  Yesterday, I sent a request (see end of this e-mail) to the press office of the Deutsche Bundesbank relating to insider trading connected to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and respectively relating to an alleged study carried by the Deutsche Bundesbank. The request carries the reference number 2011 / 011551.

  The press office or respectively Mr Peter Trautmann was only available for an oral explanation. I repeat this now, because it is related to your entity. This will be followed by my further questions.

  According to an oral explanation from the press office of the Deutsche Bundesbank, there has never been a detailed and official study on insider trading from the Bundesbank. Rather, there has been probably ad-hoc analysis with corresponding charts of price movements as briefings for the Bundesbank board. In addition, it would have been the duty of the Bundesfinanzaufsicht to investigate this matter. The press office of the Bundesbank was also not willing to give out any written information, not even after my hint that this alleged study by the Bundesbank has been floating around the Internet for years without any contradiction. That was the oral information from the Bundesbank press office, or respectively from Mr Peter Trautmann.

  Now my questions for you:
  1. Has the BaFin ever investigated the 9/11 insider trading?
  2. With what result? Have the results been made public?
  3. Have there not been any grounds for suspicion that would have justified an investigation, for example as damaged enterprise: Munich Re, and as buyers of put options of UAL’s United Airlines Company: Deutsche Bank/Alex Brown?
  4. Has the Deutsche Bundesbank ever enquired with BaFin what information they have regarding the 9/11 insider trading – for example for the creation of ad-hoc analysis for the Bundesbank?
  5. Have the US federal agencies ever inquired if the BaFin could cooperate with them in an investigation?
  Could you reply to me in writing, unlike the Deutsche Bundesbank, please? I would be very grateful for that!

  The next day I did indeed receive an e-mail concerning this topic from Anja Engelland, the press officer of the BaFin in which she answered my questions as follows:

  1. Yes, the former Bundesaufsichtsamt fur Wertpapierhandel, BAWe (federal supervisory for securities trading), has carried out a comprehensive analysis of the operations.
  2. As a result, no evidence of insider trading has been found. Their approach and results have been published by the BAWe or BaFin in the annual reports for the years 2001 (cf S 26/27) and 2002 (cf p 156 above first paragraph). Here are the links. [See here and here.]
  3. See annual reports 2001 and 2002. Put options on United Airlines were not traded on German stock exchanges (the first EUREX options on US equities were introduced only after the attacks on 9/11/2001); there were warrants on UAL and other US stocks, but those traded only in low volumes.
  4. I personally do not know about such a request. Furthermore, the Bundesbank itself would have to comment on this.
  5. BaFin is fundamentally entitled to the exchange of information with foreign supervisory authorities, like SEC, on the basis of written agreements, so-called memoranda of understanding (MoU). Regarding potential inquiries from foreign supervisory authorities, the BaFin can unfortunately not comment, this would be a matter of respective authority. For this I ask for understanding.

  Then I wrote another brief note to BaFin, “in order to prevent any misunderstanding: your answers refers, as far as I understand, solely to the financial markets in Germany and Frankfurt, or not?” The reply from BaFin:

  The answers refer to the German financial market as a whole and not only on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. In terms of the assessment of foreign financial markets, the relevant authorities are the competent points of contact.

  In my inquiries, I mentioned, among other things, a scientific study by US economist Allen M Poteshman from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, which had been carried out in 2006 regarding the put option trading around 9/11 related to the two airlines involved, United Airlines and American Airlines. Poteshman came to this conclusion: “Examination of the option trading leading up to September 11 reveals that there was an unusually high level of put buying. This finding is consistent with informed investors having traded options in advance of the attacks.” [19]

A new documentary from Alex Jones definitively declares war against the attempts to control the population through a fear of false dangers. The facts are in– terrorism as a mass threat is a hoax. It is government, and the elite who control it, that pose the real threat to humanity. This new film will serve as evidence to the fact that government is history’s greatest killer– with various regimes claiming more than 262,000,000 unnatural deaths in the 20th Century alone. Now, a 21st century technocratic global corporate tyranny seeks to kill not mere millions but billions– through their superweapons, central banking warfare model and eugenics mindset.

Alex turns the tables on the constant propaganda about a projected enemy. He documents proven academic research in Democide, or Death by Government, demonstrating that the real killers throughout history have always been in government. From Mao in Communist China, Stalin in the U.S.S.R., Hitler in Nazi Germany, Pol Pot under the Khmer Rouge and so many others, governments have killed more than 260 million people in just the last one hundred years.

Executive DirectorExec.Director@aa911truth.org  Why are we, as actors and artists, speaking out for 9/11 truth?In some cases, the issue is so important, and the public discussion of it so distorted, that speaking out is morally mandated, regardless of the possible consequences.  We believe that the question of what really happened on September 11, 2001, commonly known as “9/11,” is such an issue. (More…)Actors and Artists for 911 Truth is an international collective of creative professionals who support an investigation into the events of September 11, 2001.  While we do not claim to understand the full truth behind the carefully orchestrated 9/11 attacks, we know the official 9/11 Commission Report failed to honestly answer or adequately address many significant questions.  We created AA911Truth with the aim of inspiring citizens worldwide to carefully reconsider the events of 9/11 with fresh eyes and open minds. (More…)Fellow 9/11 Truth Seekers, I have great news for you … We’re making “our” movie…  And by “our” … I mean the 9/11 Truth Movement’s movie.Confession of a 9/11 Conspirator begins filming in the new year, so it will be available for its Worldwide TV Premiere on the night of 9/11/12 – potentially reaching hundreds of millions of people all on the same night!!!

“Confession of a 9/11 Conspirator” is a feature film willing to do what the world’s governments and legal bodies are unwilling to do – open a new investigation of 9/11 for the entire world to see.  Read More…

“We got started late; we had a very short time frame… we did not have enough money… We had a lot of people strongly opposed to what we did.  We had a lot of trouble getting access to documents and to people… So there were all kinds of reasons we thought we were set up to fail.” - Lee Hamilton, Vice Chairman, 9/11 Commission”It’s a murder — my son was murdered — and there never has been a murder investigation and a finding of what happened. It’s very simple — I’m a father who lost his son. Why wouldn’t any father want to know how and why his son died.” - Bob McIlvaine

“I’ve chosen to go to court rather than accept a payoff from the 9/11 victims compensation fund. Instead, I want to know what went so wrong with our intelligence and security systems that a band of religious fanatics was able to turn four U.S passenger jets into an enemy force, attack our cities and kill 3,000 civilians with terrifying ease. I want to know why two 110-story skyscrapers collapsed in less than two hours and why escape and rescue options were so limited.  I am suing because unlike other investigative avenues, including congressional hearings and the 9/11 commission, my lawsuit requires all testimony be given under oath and fully uses powers to compel evidence.” (“My Silence Cannot be Bought”) - Beverly Eckert, whose husband died at the World Trade Center, is the founder of Voices of September 11th.  Beverly was killed on February 12, 2009 in the crash of Continental flight 3407.

“Everyone knows we killed bin Laden. How could it be otherwise? We–the indispensable people, the virtuous nation, the world’s only superpower, the white hats– were destined to prevail. No other outcome was possible… No one will remember that Fox News reported in December, 2001, that Osama bin Laden had passed away from his illnesses.If bin Laden beat all odds and managed to live another decade to await, unarmed and undefended, the arrival of the Navy SEALS last week, how it is possible that the “terror mastermind,” who defeated not merely the CIA and FBI, but all 16 US intelligence agencies along with those of America’s European allies and Israel, the National Security Council, the Pentagon, NORAD, Air Traffic Control, airport security four times on the same morning, etc. etc., never enjoyed another success, not even a little, very minor one? What was the “terror mastermind” doing for a decade after 9/11?” (Americans are Living in 1984) - Paul Craig Roberts, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under Ronald Reagan, co-founder of Reaganomics, former editor for the Wall Street Journal.”If expressing doubts or reservations about the official story in the 9/11 Commission Report makes a person a conspiracy theory kook, then we have to include both co-chairmen of the 9/11 Commission and the Commission’s legal counsel, all of whom have written books in which they clearly state that they were lied to by government officials when they conducted their investigation or, rather, when they presided over the investigation conducted by executive director Philip Zelikow, a member of President George W.

“The bottom line is that a number of NSA personnel who were on duty in the months leading up to 9/11, the day of the attacks, and subsequent weeks and months, are aware of undeniable facts that point to a massive cover-up by the Bush-Cheney administration of the circumstances surrounding 9/11, including what actually befell United Airlines flight 93 and who was issuing direct military orders from the White House.”The Obama administration, rather than lessen the pressure on the NSA personnel, has turned up the heat and is resorting to even more draconian methods to ensure silence. The word from inside NSA is that a state of fear exists…” (Read more) - Wayne Madsen, Former U.S. Navy Intelligence Officer.

“In discussing my second 9/11 book, The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions, I have often said, only half in jest, that a better title might have been “a 571-page lie.” (Actually, I was saying “a 567-page lie,” because I was forgetting to count the four pages of the Preface.) In making this statement, one of my points has been that the entireReport is constructed in support of one big lie: that the official story about 9/11 is true.” (Read more) - David Ray Griffin

"When I heard the sound of the explosion, the floor beneath my feet vibrated, the walls started cracking and it everything started shaking... Seconds after the first massive explosion below in the basement still rattled the floor, I hear another explosion from way above...  Although I was unaware at the time, this was the airplane hitting the tower, it occurred moments after the first explosion...  I know there were explosives placed below the trade center.  I helped a man to safety who is living proof, living proof the government story is a lie and a cover-up. ...  The skin was hanging off his hands and arms. His injuries couldn't have come from the plane above, but only from a massive explosion below. I don't care what the government says, what scientists say. I saw a man burned terribly from a fire that was caused from an explosion below...  I have tried to tell my story to everybody, but nobody wants to listen. [read more] - William Rodriguez - WTC janitor who single-handedly rescued 15 people

“I spent three years of research writing The SHELL GAME, speaking to individuals who knew 9/11 was going to happen months in advance, their warnings rebuked by Intel people in the US.  I received threats before and after the book came out.  There are no innocent snowflakes in an avalanche that leads to two wars and countless deaths — Cheney and his neocons are not the only ones responsible for 9/11 — every American who remains silent is equally as responsible. If you think the crime has been resolved, you either don’t know the facts or you don’t want to know. Only through a unified voice demanding a real investigation of the events of September 11, 2001 will the guilty be brought to justice. Count me in.” - Steve Alten, NY Times best-selling author

“My film 911 Dust and Deceit exposes the problems caused by the misrepresentations of various individuals within agencies in New York and Washington, who covered up the fact that the dust from Ground Zero was extremely toxic.“There was little consideration for the collateral damage caused by the ongoing chemical attack on the people of New York in the form of this toxic dust. The people were lied to and now thousands are sick, and hundreds have died as a direct result. This is a crime, still in progress. This evidence reveals government coverup, lies, and obvious problems with the fairy tale of 9/11 sold to the public through the mainstream corporate media. …” - Penny Little film-maker, musician AA911 member

“After five years of talking to many individuals in the intelligence community, in the military, foreign intelligence agencies, and a whole host of other people, people from the air traffic control community, the FAA, I came to the conclusion that after five years what we saw happen on that morning of September 11, 2001, was the result of a highly-compartmentalized covert operation to bring about a fascist coup in this country… These people need to be brought to justice, if not by our own Congress, then by an international tribunal in the Hague…” - Wayne Madsen, Former U.S. Navy Intelligence Officer, specialist in electronic surveillance and security. Formerly assigned to the National Security Agency and the State Department

“…there’s no question in my mind that there’s enough evidence there to justify a very comprehensive and hard hitting investigation of a kind that we’ve not seen, with subpoenas, general questioning of people, and raising the release of a lot of documents, there’s no question that (D.E. chuckles) put it this way, very serious questions have been raised, about how much they knew beforehand and how much involvement there may been. Is this administration capable, humanly and physiologically of engineering such a provocation? Yes, I would say that, I worked for such an administration myself, Johnson, ah, President Johnson put destroyers in harm’s way in the Tonkin Gulf not only once, but several times, with the, with a lot of his people hoping that it would lead to a confrontation and claiming that it had.”  [read more] - Daniel Ellsberg

“It all started when I saw the collapse of Building 7, the third skyscraper. It collapsed seven hours after the Twin Towers. And there were only two airplanes. When you see a 47-storey building, 186 meters tall, collapse in 6.5 seconds, and you are a scientist, you think “What?” I had to watch it again…and again. I hit the button ten times, and my jaw dropped lower and lower. Firstly, I had never heard of that building before. And there was no visible reason why it should collapse in that way, straight down, in 6.5 seconds. I have had no rest since that day.” - Niels Harrit, University of Copenhagen chemist

“Senators from both parties accused the Defense Department…of obstructing an investigation into whether a highly classified intelligence program known as Able Danger did indeed identify Mohamed Atta and other future hijackers as potential threats well before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The Pentagon blocked several witnesses from testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee. The officers have said they were prevented by the Pentagon from sharing information about Mr. Atta and others with the [FBI]. The Pentagon has acknowledged that at least five members of Able Danger have said they recall a chart produced in 2000 that identified Mr. Atta, who became the lead hijacker in the Sept. 11 plot, as a potential terrorist.” – New York Times, 9/22/05 (Read more)

“In the early 1960s, America’s top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba. Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities. The plans were developed as ways to trick the American public and the international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba’s then new leader, communist Fidel Castro.  America’s top military brass even contemplated causing U.S. military casualties, writing: “We could blow up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba,” and, “casualty lists in U.S. newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation.”  (Read more) - David Ruppe, ABC news.com

CNN noted on March 24 that Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld told the Commission: “I knew of no intelligence during the six-plus months leading up to September 11 to indicate terrorists would hijack commercial airlines, use them as missiles to fly into the Pentagon or the World Trade Center towers.”However, as the 9-11 Commission report documented, such a “possibility was imaginable, and imagined,” citing an August 1999 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Civil Aviation Security intelligence office report that warned on the potential of a “suicide hijacking operation,” and that the North American Aerospace Defense Command had “developed exercises to counter such a threat.” (Read more)

"There are some who maintain that the mythical 9/11 hijackers, although proven to be too incompetent to fly a little Cessna 172, had acquired the impressive skills that enabled them to fly airliners by training in flight simulators...  According to FAA radar controllers, "Flight 77" then suddenly pops up over Washington DC and executes an incredibly precise diving turn at a rate of 360 degrees/minute while descending at 3,500 ft/min, at the end of which "Hanjour" allegedly levels out at ground level...  The maneuver was in fact so precisely executed that the air traffic controllers at Dulles refused to believe the blip on their screen was a commercial airliner.  Danielle O'Brian, one of the air traffic controllers at Dulles... said, "The speed, the maneuverability, the way that he turned, we all thought in the radar room, all of us experienced air traffic controllers, that that was a military plane."

“I was not involved in the September 11 attacks in the United States nor did I have knowledge of the attacks. There exists a government within a government within the United States. The United States should try to trace the perpetrators of these attacks within itself; to the people who want to make the present century a century of conflict between Islam and Christianity. That secret government must be asked as to who carried out the attacks.” - Osama bin Laden (Read more on Osama bin Laden)

"Any chain reaction theory would have to accommodate the fact that each of the towers unraveled completely in less than 15 seconds, which is close to the time of free fall from the top of the buildings if there had been no intervening solid structure.

"Why weren't the hijacked airliners intercepted by jet fighters and shot down before they could fly into the WTC and Pentagon?  Standard procedures call for any airliner that loses radio contact or goes off course to be intercepted.  Four airliners were hijacked almost simultaneously, and it was obvious to air traffic controllers immediately.  The transponders on the airliners were turned off.  The hijackers were heard on the radio.  And the four deviated drastically from their assigned courses.  Was NORAD told?  If not, why not?  What did the air traffic controllers say, and to whom?  Why did the FBI impound the tapes of those conversations?  Why has the public never been told what was on them?  Why weren't the congressional investigators told?  The independent commission?  Who is hiding what, and why?  If it was just a matter of incompetence or somebody not doing their job, why hasn't anyone been fired or reprimanded?  If someone ordered the stand down, who? and why? and why haven't they been charged with treason?"

"At 9 11, four planes for two hours were able to drive around, fly around even one hour in the direction going toward the west and then turn around and then comeback.  The military air force was not able to interdict them.  It's [un]imaginable." [read more] - Andreas Von Buelow - Former assistant German defense minister, director of the German Secret Service, minister for research and technology, and member of Parliament for 25 years.

"In all my years of direct and indirect participation, I never witnessed nor even heard of an aircraft loss, where the wreckage was accessible, that prevented investigators from finding enough hard evidence to positively identify the make, model, and specific registration number of the aircraft -- and in most cases the precise cause of the accident. ...  The government alleges that four wide-body airliners crashed on the morning of September 11 2001, resulting in the deaths of more than 3,000 human beings, yet not one piece of hard aircraft evidence has been produced in an attempt to positively identify any of the four aircraft. On the contrary, it seems only that all potential evidence was deliberately kept hidden from public view. The hard evidence would have included hundreds of critical time-change aircraft items, plus security videotapes that were confiscated by the FBIimmediately following each tragic episode." [read more] - George Nelson - Colonel, USAF (ret.)

Testifying before Congress in 2004, Donald Rumsfled offered the following characterization of the Abu Ghraib abuses: “To those Iraqis mistreated by the members of our armed forces, I offer my deepest apology. It was inconsistent with our nation, inconsistent with the teachings of the military, and it was fundamentally un-American.”And at a visit to Abu Ghraib prison itself, Rumsfeld said, “In recent days there’s been a focus on a few that have betrayed our values and sullied the reputation of our country,” Rumsfeld said, adding that the actions of a few do not represent “the values of America and I know that and you know that and our families know that…”But since then we have learned that the treatment of detainees at Abu Ghraib , the photos of which shocked the country, was not a random act carried out by lower level “bad apple” subordinates, but was approved not only by Rumsfeld himself back in 2002, but also by George Tenet, and top Bush Administration officials. Nancy Pelosi, too, was briefed on the torture.

“Was Osama Bin Laden responsible for 9/11?  The Bush Administration says yes, citing a grainy, badly-edited videotape that surfaced in December, 2001. In that tape, a fat guy who vaguely resembles Bin Laden chortles about the success of the 9/11 attacks. (In earlier interviews, Bin Laden had denied responsibility for 9/11, once even deploring the loss of civilian life in the attacks and calling them un-Islamic.)”"Is the famous “confession video” genuine? Despite Bush’s insistence that the tape is authentic, America’s top academic Bin Laden expert has finally gone on the record, joining numerous other experts. “It’s bogus,” says Professor Bruce Lawrence, head of Duke University’s Religious Studies program.” - Kevin Barrett

“During the time that the airplane was coming in to the Pentagon, there was a young man who would come in and say to the Vice President, “The plane is 50 miles out.” “The plane is 30 miles out.” And when it got down to “the plane is 10 miles out,” the young man also said to the Vice President, “Do the orders still stand?” And the Vice President turned and whipped his neck around and said, “Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?” -Norman Minetta, Secretary of Transportation in the George W. Bush Administration

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society.

“Ayo, I’m American born. Love America. Love my people. Love all mankind, all nationalities. You know, I think it’s just been recent where everybody started to feel like there was an elite group that runs everything, and everybody else was sheep, ignorant, making all ethnicities, colors, and creeds niggers, blind to what really is going on. So I say take off the wool from your eyes. Out with the Old America, in with the New. End all racism, all injustice, all oppression to poor people, any people anywhere in this planet. Let’s come together. A new day is rising.” – Nas, from his song, “We’re Not Alone.”

“We have got to realize that we’re being conditioned on a mass scale. Start challenging this corporate slave-state! The 21st century is going to be a new century, not the century of slavery, not the century of lies and issues of no significance, and classism and statism, and all the rest of the modes of control! It’s going to be the age of humankind standing up for something pure, and something right.” – Alex Jones, from the film, “Waking Life.”

The growth of the 9/11 truth and justice movement throughout the world is unstoppable. The psychopathic elite and their moronic puppets in governments and media institutions cannot prevent the natural progress of freedom, peace, knowledge, truth, and love.

The suppression of free thought and human reason by Western shadow governments and the duplicitous Western media is backfiring against them just as the blockage of knowledge backfired against the monarchs and priests in previous centuries.

This century is shaping up to be the century of truth. In the beginning of the decade no one wanted to hear that the shadow governments of America and Israel were responsible for the 9/11 atrocity. Very few people admitted that there was even a shadow government structure in Washington, Tel Aviv and other capitals around the world.

But the diligent work of scholars like Professor Peter Dale Scott and 9/11 researchers around the world have made taboo subjects like undemocratic shadow governments and false flag terrorism part of the daily conversation in many people’s lives.

“New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common,” said John Locke. This truth may be the biggest reason why there is such irrational hostility against the truth about the 9/11 attacks.

The truth sounds so strange and different that people dismiss it as crazy without taking an honest look at all the evidence that supports the claim that the shadow governments in America and Israel were behind the attacks.

Fear is another reason why people block out 9/11 truth. When the truth is accepted, long-held worldviews come crashing down so naturally people get scared about their security and their future.

But people shouldn’t be afraid or worried. Thanks to the 9/11 truth movement, there is reason for people to be hopeful and optimistic about the future. One of the positive consequences of the false flag 9/11 attacks has been the rebirth of independent thought in the Western citizenry and an independent press in America and across the world.

All the establishment sources of information and news, whether television or print, are losing credibility and public trust by the day. They are beyond redemption. Their complicity in war crimes and crimes against democracy will never be forgotten. If they are not in the gutter of history already, they soon will be when 9/11 truth reaches critical mass.

Replacing the treacherous and unethical mainstream media is the honourable and honest alternative media. The Alex Jones Show, Democracy Now, the Young Turks, and other alternative media outlets are deviating from the official versions of history and questioning the origins of the conflicts in the Middle East.

The alternative media, which is not funded by corporations or governments but by active citizens, is advancing intellectual freedom and free speech, which are vital necessities in a free society.

9/11 truthers and conspiracy theorists are the vanguard of freedom of speech in the West and represent the intellectual resistance to the global totalitarian corporate state that got its big boost after the false flag 9/11 attacks.

II. A New Age of Reason Is Emerging From The Dark Age of Misinformation

What is happening now in the West is a continuation of the European Enlightenment. We are witnessing a second enlightenment and a new age of reason. The first age of reason led to the founding of the American republic, women’s rights, the abolition of African American slavery, the progress of equality and human dignity, and the dominance of science over religion.

But then new tyrants came onto the scene of history. Oligarchical families like the Rothschilds, Rockefellers and others made it their historical mission in the beginning of the twentieth century to dominate not just the West, but the whole world. They took America and the West on a dark and anti-freedom detour in the last century that included unnecessary world wars and horrific economic depressions which economists now say were preventable.

From Latin America to America to Europe, millions of people have suffered under an unjust banking system that Western oligarchical families put into place in America in 1913, and then across the world after the end of World War II. Americans were once proud owners of their money system, but with the establishment of the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank they became debt slaves.

The ultimate plan of the Western oligarchy is to destroy democratic nation states, sweep aside the natural rights of man, and create a one world dictatorial government that is fully controlled by unaccountable multinational corporations and international banks.

Under the new authoritarian global system that is in the process of being established behind the scenes the people will be conditioned to be passive slaves and taught to be permanently dependent on centralized sources of food, information, energy, money, security, and other common necessities of life.

But the tradition of the European Enlightenment that is making a comeback through the Internet and the alternative media is directly challenging the neo-authoritarians who are in power in all of the major Western capitals. A second age of reason and common sense is here.

So, stand proud conspiracy theorists and 9/11 truthers. You have made it your mission to advance the cause of human reason. And because of your determination, insight, and passion, you have been successful in preserving the greatest gift of the West to the world: intellectual freedom from the State.

The two main players in releasing the Pentagon Papers were Daniel Ellsberg and United States Senator Mike Gravel.

Senator Gravel is the person who read the Pentagon Papers into the Congressional Record. This act made the papers public record, so that they could not be censored by the government. He was the only member of Congress courageous enough to do so.

Both Ellsberg and Gravel – like many other high-level former officials in the government and intelligence services (including many well-known whistleblowers) – support a new 9/11 investigation. Ellsberg says that the case of a certain 9/11 whistleblower is “far more explosive than the Pentagon Papers”. (Here’s some of what that whistleblower says.) He also said that the government is ordering the media to cover up her allegations about 9/11.

And he said that some of the claims concerning government involvement in 9/11 are credible, that “very serious questions have been raised about what they [U.S. government officials] knew beforehand and how much involvement there might have been”, that engineering 9/11 would not be humanly or psychologically beyond the scope of those in office, and that there’s enough evidence to justify a new, “hard-hitting” investigation into 9/11 with subpoenas and testimony taken under oath (see this and this).

Gravel is now backing a California ballot initiative for a new 9/11 investigation. The text of the initiative is below.

The initiative would actually help support the 9/11 Commission and fulfill the desire of the 9/11 Commissioners. Specifically, the Commission was severely underfunded:

• The government spent $175 million investigating the Challenger space shuttle disaster.

• It spent $152 million on the the Columbia disaster investigation.

• It spent $30 million investigating the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

• But the government only authorized $15 million for the 9/11 Commission.

Moreover, many 9/11 Commissioners said they never completed the investigation:

• 9/11 Commission co-chair Lee Hamilton himself says “I don’t believe for a minute we got everything right”, that the Commission was set up to fail, that people should keep asking questions about 9/11, and that the 9/11 debate should continue.

• Similarly, 9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said “There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some alternative to what we outlined in our version . . . We didn’t have access . . . .” . He also says that he had long feared that the investigation depended too heavily on the accounts of Al Qaeda detainees who were physically coerced into talking, and that it might take “a permanent 9/11 commission” to end the remaining mysteries of September 11.

• And 9/11 Commissioner Max Cleland resigned from the Commission, stating: “One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9-11 issue is so important to America.”

The initiative would allow deeper questions to be asked about 9/11, allow the 9/11 debate to continue, investigate the remaining mysteries of 9/11, and help to get to the full story, as the 9/11 Commissioners themselves want. (The Commissioners haven’t yet read the initiative).

The initiative is unusual because it would allow other state governments, and even local governments, within California or any other state, two different options to officially express support for the new commission’s investigation pursuant to the initiative’s terms. Under the first option, a state or local government could enter a joint powers agreement with the commission to join the investigation and to share resources with the commission. Under the second option, a state or local government could endorse the efforts of the commission, at no cost to the state or local government, merely by the governing body of that state or local government passing an official resolution expressly supporting the commission’s investigation.

The initiative is also unusual because it goes the extra mile to ensure that the investigation will not be compromised by political considerations like the 9/11 Commission and the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission were. Specifically, it amends the state constitution to name Senator Gravel as the initial director and ensures that commissioners are appointed on the basis of their qualifications, and not political considerations. The initiative would name former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney as the initial director if Gravel is unable to serve in that capacity.

This sounds very odd at first, but a lawyer formerly with California’s Office of Legislative Counsel – who drafted the initiative on behalf of Senator Gravel – states that these provisions are legally sound, and that an initiative that amends the state constitution in this manner would require 807,615 signatures to be placed on the ballot, rather than 504,760 signatures (the amount normally required to put a statutory initiative on the ballot). He states that California’s Office of Legislative Counsel vetted the entire initiative and did not find its amendments to the state constitution legally problematic.

In other words, the constitutional amendment would not be as big a deal as it initially seems, as at the end of the day, it would only mean getting an additional three hundred thousand signatures in a state of 40 million.

Former U.S. Congressman Dan Hamburg from California – legendary for his role in helping to preserve the Headwaters Forest – supports the initiative. Hamburg is in a unique position to support the initiative, as he is now serving as a county supervisor for Mendocino County. With his unique background in the U.S. Congress and local government, Hamburg supports the fact that the initiative allows governments at the local and state level to support a full and complete investigation.

Lawyers for 9/11 Truth also supports the initiative in principle. That organization includes such well-known legal scholars as:

• Ferdinando Imposimato, Honorary President of the Supreme Court of Italy. Former Senior Investigative Judge, Italy. Presided over numerous terrorism-related cases

• Burns H. Weston, Distinguished Professor of Law Emeritus and Founding Director and Senior Scholar, Center for Human Rights, The University of Iowa, Honorary Editor, Board of Editors, American Journal of International Law

• Andreas Von B�low, former Assistant German Defense Minister (the number two German defense position), former Minister of Research and Technology, and a former member of the German Parliament

• Constance Fogal, former leader, Canadian Action Party

• J. Michael Springmann, former diplomat in the State Department’s Foreign Service, with postings to Germany, India, Saudi Arabia, and the Bureau of Intelligence and Research in Washington, D.C. He was the head of the U.S. consular official in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and is the published author of several articles on national security themes

Here is the draft initiative, with commentary:
(The following is the text of the California Initiative measure creating a new 9/11 investigative commission to be submitted directly to the voters at the general election in November 2012, with comments within ( ) for clarity. By law the title and summary of an initiative are required to be written by the Attorney General of California after the initiative is officially filed with the state government.)

(A suggested title)

The 9/11 Citizens Investigation Commission Act

(A suggested summary)

This measure would establish within state government the 9/11 Citizens Investigation Commission in order to conduct a citizen-based, comprehensive, and truly independent investigation into events relating to the attacks of September 11, 2001. The measure would:

(1) Grant the commission all investigatory powers of the state, including the power of subpoena;

(2) Authorize the commission to enter into a joint powers agreement with any public entity within the United States and to exercise any investigatory power of any of the contracting powers in conducting the investigation;

(3) Amend the California Constitution to appoint former United States Senator Mike Gravel as the initial Director of the 9/11 Citizens Investigation Commission, and in his absence Representative Cynthia McKinney, to ensure the political independence of the commission from government interference through the appointment process, and to provide the commission credibility with respect to the transparency of its operations;

(4) Appropriate an amount equal to $0.50 per resident of the state from the General Fund to the director to conduct and administrate the investigation;

(5) Specify conditions governing its future amendment; and

(6) Provide that if a provision of the measure is held invalid, that provision’s invalidity will not render the remainder of the measure invalid.

(The Preamble)

TO THE HONORABLE SECRETARY OF STATE OF CALIFORNIA

We, the undersigned, registered, qualified voters of California, residents of ____ County (or City and County), hereby propose amendments to the Constitution of California and the Code, and petition the Secretary of State to submit the same to the voters of California for their adoption or rejection at the next succeeding general election or at any special statewide election held prior to that general election or otherwise provided by law.(The “official summary date,” the date that the Attorney General sends the title and summary for the initiative measure to the proponent, is also the date that the Secretary of State will use to determine the calendar deadlines applicable to the measure. All requisite signatures must be received within 150 days of the official summary date. The requisite number of signatures and other qualifications for placement on the November 2, 2012 Presidential General Election ballot must be met at least 131 days before that election—May 24, 2012.)The proposed constitutional amendments read as follows:

SECTION 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the 9/11 Citizens

Investigation Commission Act.

(A declaration of facts that warrant the enactment of the initiative by the voters.)

SECTION 2. The people of the State of California find and declare all of the

following:

(a) The events of September 11, 2001, have had a profound effect on the economic, social, and cultural well-being of Californians, and of all citizens of the United States.

(1) In the wake of that tragic day, the United States entered into the War on Terror, the War in Afghanistan, and the Iraq War. Vast amounts of the blood and treasure of the American people have been spent fighting these ongoing wars. Over 5,800 American military personnel have lost their lives in the War on Terror, and over 40,000 have been wounded. In addition, innumerable innocent civilians have also lost their lives in the War on Terror. According to a September 2, 2010, report by the federal Congressional Research Service, the cumulative total for funds appropriated in the War on Terror was $1,121,000,000,000.

(2) Since September 11, 2001, the civil liberties of Californians and other Americans have been drastically curtailed, and fundamental rights guaranteed by the United States Bill of Rights have been under attack. Government actions under the USA PATRIOT Act (Public Law 107-56), enacted on October 26, 2001, have trampled civil liberties and fundamental rights by, among other things, purportedly authorizing increased espionage against innocent United States citizens, and the indefinite detention of certain prisoners without charge.

(3) Since September 11, 2001, the federal government has decimated essential liberties of its citizens in the name of temporary safety, and this way of thinking has reached an absurd extent, in that suspicionless, systematic assault on its citizens has become a policy of the federal government. In November 2010, the Transportation Security Administration, an agency of the United States Department of Homeland Security, began implementing additional screening procedures for air travelers, including the use of invasive back-scatter X-ray scans that display nude images of the person scanned, and extensive patdowns that include the touching of the chest, genitals, and buttocks of the person inspected.

(b) Beyond these profound effects on the well-being of Californians and all United States citizens, there are other wide-ranging and substantial considerations that support the need for further investigation into the events of September 11, 2001:

(1) A false flag operation is one designed to deceive so that the operation appears as though it was carried out by another entity, rather than the actual operator, in order to foster a clandestine political effect. The history of the United States is littered with instances of the alleged use of false flag operations, especially as pretext for war or to forward a pro-war agenda. These instances include, among others, the invasion of Mexico in 1846, the sinking of the U.S.S. Maine on February 18, 1898, the sinking of the RMS Lusitania on May 7, 1915, the second Gulf of Tonkin incident claimed to have occurred on August 4, 1964, and the purported existence of weapons of mass destruction as the rationale for the invasion of Iraq in March of 2003.

(2) World Trade Center Building 7, a 47-story skyscraper that was part of the World Trade Center complex, collapsed at 5:20 p.m. on September 11, 2001, and proffered explanations for the building’s failure have been widely disputed. To date, over 1,400 architectural and engineering professionals, and over 10,000 other individuals, have signed a petition, addressed to Members of the House of Representatives and the Senate of the United States of America, demanding “a truly independent investigation with subpoena power in order to uncover the full truth surrounding the events of 9/11/01 – specifically the collapse of the World Trade Center Towers and Building 7.”

(3) In the aftermath of September 11, 2001, the federal government established the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, also known as the 9/11 Commission, to prepare a full and complete account of, and to report on the circumstances surrounding, the attacks. However, the 9/11 Commission has been widely criticized for lacking sufficient political independence or legal authority to discharge its duties. In their book, which was co-written after the conclusion of the commission’s work, “Without Precedent: The Inside Story of the 9/11 Commission,” the commission’s Chairman, Republican Thomas H. Kean, and its Vice Chairman, Democrat Lee H. Hamilton, asserted their belief that the commission had been designed to fail. The collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 was not addressed in the 9/11 Commission’s final report.

(c) The State of California is an appropriate government entity to initiate, and to provide the legal basis for, a citizens’ investigation into the events of September 11, 2001. Californians were among those who died in the attacks of that infamous day, and many more Californians have subsequently died fighting in the War on Terror, the War in Afghanistan, and the Iraq War. Furthermore, alleged terrorist conspirators trained in California to carry out the events of September 11, 2001. Historically, California has been an economic and political leader among the states, and events relating to September 11, 2001, have drastically affected the economics and politics of both California and the country at large. For all these reasons, the initiation of a citizens’ investigation into the events of September 11, 2001, is an urgent matter of statewide concern.

(d) In order to ensure the political independence of the 9/11 Citizens Investigation Commission from government interference through the appointment process, and to provide the commission credibility with respect to the transparency of its operations, former United States Senator Mike Gravel shall serve as the initial director of the commission and, if Senator Gravel is unable to serve as the initial director, former Member of the United States House of Representatives Cynthia McKinney shall serve in that capacity.

(e)We, the people of the State of California, in solidarity with all citizens of the United States, direct the 9/11 Citizens Investigation Commission, a new investigatory commission created by this act, to conduct a citizen-based, comprehensive, and truly independent investigation into events relating to the attacks of September 11, 2001.

(This section is the amendment to the Constitution.)

SECTION 3. Section 12 of Article II of the California Constitution is amended to

read:

(a)No amendment to the Constitution, and no statute proposed to the electors by the Legislature or by initiative, that names any individual to hold any office, or names or identifies any private corporation to perform any function or to have any power or duty, may be submitted to the electors or have any effect.

(The underlined text is the addition of new text to the Constitution.)

(b) The prohibition set forth in subdivision (a) of this section shall not apply to the 9/11 Citizens Investigation Commission established pursuant to Chapter 9.6 (commencing with Section 8775) of Division 1 of Title 2 of the Government Code, in order to ensure the commission’s independence and to prevent federal or state government interference in its investigation or proceedings to the maximum extent allowed under the Constitution of the United States and this Constitution.

SECTION 4. Section 1 of Article VII of the California Constitution is amended to read:

(a) The civil service includes every officer and employee of the State except as otherwise provided in this Constitution.

(b) In the civil service permanent appointment and promotion shall be made under a general system based on merit ascertained by competitive examination.

(c) This section shall not apply to an officer or employee of the 9/11 Citizens Investigation Commission.

(The text below: Sections 5 to 8 comprise the new law added to the code by the initiative.)

SECTION 5. Section 6537 is added to the Government Code, to read:

6537. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, consistent with the United States Constitution, the 9/11 Citizens Investigation Commission, established pursuant to Section 8775, may enter into a joint powers agreement with any public entity within the United States, including, but not limited to, another state, a United States territory, a local government within this state, another state, or a United States territory, or an agency of the federal government, and the commission may exercise any investigatory power of any of the contracting powers to carry out the requirements of Chapter 9.6 (commencing with Section 8775) of Division 1 of Title 2.

SECTION 6. Chapter 9.6 (commencing with Section 8775) is added to Division 1

of Title 2 of the Government Code, to read:

Washingtons Blog

The main players in releasing the Pentagon Papers were Daniel Ellsberg and Senator Mike Gravel.

Ellsberg is, of course, the former military analyst and famed whistleblower who smuggled the Pentagon Papers out of the Rand Corporation.

Senator Gravel is the person who read the Pentagon Papers into the Congressional Record. This act made the papers public record, so that they could not be censored by the government.

Ellsberg and Gravel are receiving a lot of media attention right now for their support of Wikileaks.

But little attention has been paid to Ellsberg and Gravel’s support for a new 9/11 investigation.

Ellsberg says that the case of a certain 9/11 whistleblower is “far more explosive than the Pentagon Papers“. (Here’s some of what that whistleblower says.)

He also said that the government is ordering the media to cover up her allegations about 9/11.

And he said that some of the claims concerning government involvement in 9/11 are credible, that “very serious questions have been raised about what they [U.S. government officials] knew beforehand and how much involvement there might have been”, that engineering 9/11 would not be humanly or psychologically beyond the scope of those in office, and that there’s enough evidence to justify a new, “hard-hitting” investigation into 9/11 with subpoenas and testimony taken under oath (see this and this).

Senator Gravel has long supported a new 9/11 investigation. Gravel told the Daily Caller this week:

Individuals in and out of government may certainly have participated with the obviously known perpetrators of this dastardly act. Suspicions abound over the analysis presented by government. Obviously an act that has triggered three wars, Afghan, Iraqi and the continuing War on Terror, should be extensively investigated which was not done and which the government avoids addressing.

Other high-level whistleblowers have alleged a cover-up as well.

For example, Air Force Colonel and key Pentagon official Karen Kwiatkowski – who blew the whistle on the Bush administration’s efforts to concoct false intelligence about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction - wrote (page 26):

I have been told by reporters that they will not report their own insights or contrary evaluations of the official 9/11 story, because to question the government story about 9/11 is to question the very foundations of our entire modern belief system regarding our government, our country, and our way of life. To be charged with questioning these foundations is far more serious than being labeled a disgruntled conspiracy nut or anti-government traitor, or even being sidelined or marginalized within an academic, government service, or literary career. To question the official 9/11 story is simply and fundamentally revolutionary. In this way, of course, questioning the official story is also simply and fundamentally American.Indeed, Ellsberg and Gravel join a long list of high-level former officials in the government and intelligence services – including many well-known whistleblowers – who have publicly demanded a new investigation.And see this.

• Hunter S. Thompson (1937-07-18 – 2005-02-20) was an American journalist and author and was regarded by many as the author of the “greatest book on the dope decade” (The New York Times). He was known for his flamboyant writing style, known as Gonzo Journalism, which blurred the distinctions between writer and subject, fiction and non-fiction.
• It’s a stupid, dangerous, HELLISH world . . . But don’t let it FRIGHTEN you!!
• I heard the music, and I wrote to it.
  Some people beat drums. Some people strum guitars.
  It’s all in the music you hear.
• Thompson on George W. Bush
• He knew who I was, at that time, because I had a reputation as a writer. I knew he was part of the Bush dynasty. But he was nothing, he offered nothing, and he promised nothing. He had no humour. He was insignificant in every way and consequently I didn’t pay much attention to him. But when he passed out in my bathtub, then I noticed him. I’d been in another room, talking to the bright people. I had to have him taken away.
• Politics is the art of controlling your environment. That is one of the key things I learned in these years, and I learned it the hard way. Anybody who thinks that ‘it doesn’t matter who’s President’ has never been Drafted and sent off to fight and die in a vicious, stupid War on the other side of the World — or been beaten and gassed by Police for trespassing on public property — or been hounded by the IRS for purely political reasons — or locked up in the Cook County Jail with a broken nose and no phone access and twelve perverts wanting to stomp your ass in the shower. That is when it matters who is President or Governor or Police Chief. That is when you will wish you had voted.
• Walk tall, kick ass, learn to speak Arabic, love music and never forget you come from a long line of truth seekers, lovers and warriors.
• The last train out of any station will not be full of nice guys.
• Some may never live, but the crazy never die.
• Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men’s reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of the rat race is not yet final.
• The person who doesn’t scatter the morning dew will not comb gray hairs.
• That was always the difference between Muhammad Ali and the rest of us. He came, he saw, and if he didn’t entirely conquer — he came as close as anybody we are likely to see in the lifetime of this doomed generation.
• Publishers are notoriously slothful about numbers, unless they’re attached to dollar signs — unlike journalists, quarterbacks, and felony criminal defendants who tend to be keenly aware of numbers at all times.
• Objective journalism is one of the main reasons American politics has been allowed to be so corrupt for so long. You can’t be objective about Nixon.

Here are some quotes by Hunter S. Thompson:

• The hippies, who had never really believed they were the wave of the future anyway, saw the election results as brutal confirmation of the futility of fighting the establishment on its own terms. There had to be a whole new scene, they said, and the only way to do it was to make the big move — either figuratively or literally — from Berkeley to the Haight-Ashbury, from pragmatism to mysticism, from politics to dope… The thrust is no longer for “change” or “progress” or “revolution,” but merely to escape, to live on the far perimeter of a world that might have been.

• In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: Not necessarily to Win, but mainly to keep from Losing Completely…. The Swine are gearing down for a serious workout this time around… So much, then, for The Road — and for the last possibilities of running amok in Las Vegas… Well, at least, I’ll know I was there, neck deep in the madness, before the deal went down, and I got so high and wild that I felt like a two-ton Manta ray jumping all the way across the Bay of Bengal.

• I returned to the Holiday Inn — where they have a swimming pool and air-conditioned rooms — to consider the paradox of a nation that has given so much to those who preach the glories of rugged individualism from the security of countless corporate sinecures, and so little to that diminishing band of yesterday’s refugees who still practice it, day by day, in a tough, rootless and sometimes witless style that most of us have long since been weaned away from.

• There is a huge body of evidence to support the notion that me and the police were put on this earth to do extremely different things and never to mingle professionally with each other, except at official functions, when we all wear ties and drink heavily and whoop it up like the natural, good-humored wild boys that we know in our hearts that we are..These occasions are rare, but they happen — despite the forked tongue of fate that has put us forever on different paths…

• Fiction is based on reality unless you’re a fairy-tale artist, you have to get your knowledge of life from somewhere. You have to know the material you’re writing about before you alter it.

• But speaking of rules, you’ve been arrested dozens of times in your life. Specific incidents aside, what’s common to these run-ins? Where do you stand vis-à-vis the law?
  “Goddammit. Yeah, I have. First, there’s a huge difference between being arrested and being guilty. Second, see, the law changes and I don’t. How I stand vis-à-vis the law at any given moment depends on the law. The law can change from state to state, from nation to nation, from city to city. I guess I have to go by a higher law. How’s that? Yeah, I consider myself a road man for the lords of karma.”

• There was no time for scholarly details, and, besides, I have always believed that a man can fairly be judged by the standards and taste of his choices in matters of high-level plagiarism.

• If you’re going to be crazy, you have to get paid for it or else you’re going to be locked up.

Hell’s Angels (1966)

• Tiny hurts people. When he loses his temper he goes completely out of control and his huge body becomes a lethal weapon. It is difficult to see what role he might play in the Great Society.

Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail ’72 (1973)

• If the current polls are reliable… Nixon will be re-elected by a huge majority of Americans who feel he is not only more honest and more trustworthy than George McGovern, but also more likely to end the war in Vietnam. The polls also indicate that Nixon will get a comfortable majority of the Youth Vote. And that he might carry all fifty states… This may be the year when we finally come face to face with ourselves; finally just lay back and say it — that we are really just a nation of 220 million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns, and no qualms at all about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable. The tragedy of all this is that George McGovern, for all his mistakes… understands what a fantastic monument to all the best instincts of the human race this country might have been, if we could have kept it out of the hands of greedy little hustlers like Richard Nixon. McGovern made some stupid mistakes, but in context they seem almost frivolous compared to the things Richard Nixon does every day of his life, on purpose… Jesus! Where will it end? How low do you have to stoop in this country to be President?

• The kids are turned off from politics, they say. Most of ‘em don’t even want to hear about it. All they want to do these days is lie around on waterbeds and smoke that goddamn marrywanna… yeah, and just between you and me Fred thats probably all for the best

• Even that far-left radical bastard George S. McGovern — babbling a maddening litany of his most Far Out ideas — would be hard pressed to crank up a more than 30% animosity quotient.

• The importance of Liking Yourself is a notion that fell heavily out of favour during the coptic, anti-ego frenzy of the acid era — but nobody guessed back then that the experiment might churn up this kind of hangover; a whole subculture of frightened illiterates with no faith in anything.

• A nervous blonde nymphet who thought that politics was some kind of game played by old people, like bridge.

• Anything that gets the adrenalin moving like a 440 volt blast in a copper bathtub is good for the reflexes and keeps the veins free of cholesterol… but too many adrenaline rushes in any given time span has the same effect on the nervous system as too many electro-shock treatments are said to have on the brain: after a while you start burning out the circuits. When a jackrabbit gets addicted to road-running, its only a matter of time before he gets smashed — and when a journalist turns into a politics junkie he will sooner or later start raving and babbling in print about things that only a person who has Been There can possibly understand.

• So much for Objective Journalism. Don’t bother to look for it here — not under any byline of mine; or anyone else I can think of. With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms.

• There is nothing so unusual, they tell me, about coming back to your car and finding the radio aerial torn off, the windshield wipers bent up in the air like spaghetti, and all the windows smashed… for no particular reason except to make sure you know just exactly where it’s at these days. Where indeed?

• The massive, frustrated energies of a mainly young, disillusioned electorate that has long since abandoned the idea that we all have a duty to vote. This is like being told you have a duty to buy a new car, but you have to choose immediately between a Ford and a Chevy.

• We’ve come to a point where every four years this national fever rises up — this hunger for the Saviour, the White Knight, the Man on Horseback — and whoever wins becomes so immensely powerful, like Nixon is now, that when you vote for President today you’re talking about giving a man dictatorial power for four years. I think it might be better to have the President sort of like the King of England — or the Queen — and have the real business of the presidency conducted by… a City Manager-type, a Prime Minister, somebody who’s directly answerable to Congress, rather than a person who moves all his friends into the White House and does whatever he wants for four years. The whole framework of the presidency is getting out of hand. It’s come to the point where you almost can’t run unless you can cause people to salivate and whip each other with big sticks. You almost have to be a rock star to get the kind of fever you need to survive in American politics.

• The ugly fallout from the American Dream has been coming down on us at a pretty consistent rate since Sitting Bull’s time-and the only real difference now, with Election Day ’72 only a few weeks away, is that we seem to be on the verge of ratifying the fallout and forgetting the Dream itself.

• Ed: Rip up the streets?
  HST: With jackhammers.
  Ed: With jackhammers?

• Jesus man! You don’t look for acid! Acid finds you when *it* thinks you’re ready.

Generation of Swine (1988)

• The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason.

• It’s a strange world. Some people get rich and others eat shit and die.

Welcome to the Big Darkness (July, 2003)

• When I went into the clinic last April 30, George Bush was about 50 points ahead of his closest Democratic opponent in next year’s Presidential Election. When I finally escaped from the horrible place, less than three weeks late, Bush’s job-approval ratings had been cut in half — and even down into single digits, in some states — and the Republican Party was panicked and on the run. It was a staggering reversal in a very short time, even shorter than it took for his equally crooked father to drop from 93 percent approval, down to as low as 43 percent and even 41 percent in the last doomed days of the first doomed Bush Administration. After that, he was Bill Clinton’s punching bag.

• Richard Nixon could tell us a lot about peaking too early. He was a master of it, because it beat him every time. He never learned and neither did Bush the Elder.

• But wow! This goofy child president we have on our hands now. He is demonstrably a fool and a failure, and this is only the summer of ’03. By the summer of 2004, he might not even be living in the White House. Gone, gone, like the snows of yesteryear.

• The Rumsfeld-Cheney axis has self-destructed right in front of our eyes, along with the once-proud Perle-Wolfowitz bund that is turning to wax. They somehow managed to blow it all, like a gang of kids on a looting spree, between January and July, or even less. It is genuinely incredible. The U.S. Treasury is empty, we are losing that stupid, fraudulent chickencrap War in Iraq, and every country in the world except a handful of Corrupt Brits despises us. We are losers, and that is the one unforgiveable sin in America.

Kingdom of Fear: Loathsome Secrets of a Star-crossed Child in the Final Days of the American Century (2004)

• Morality is temporary, wisdom is permanent.

• Paranoia is just another word for ignorance.

• I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours.

• All political power comes from the barrel of either guns, pussy, or opium pipes, and people seem to like it that way.

• We are like pygmies lost in a maze of haze. We are not at war, we are having a nervous breakdown,again.

• The only ones left with any confidence at all are the New Dumb. It is the beginning of the end of our world as we knew it. Doom is the operative ethic.

• We have become a Nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world, a nation of bullies and bastards who would rather kill than live peacefully. We are not just Whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear in our hearts. We are human scum, and that is how history will judge us. No redeeming social value. Just whores. Get out of our way, or we’ll kill you. Who does vote for these dishonest shitheads? Who among us can be happy and proud of having all this innocent blood on our hands? Who are these swine? These flag-sucking half-wits who get fleeced and fooled by stupid little rich kids like George Bush? They are the same ones who wanted to have Muhammad Ali locked up for refusing to kill gooks. They speak for all that is cruel and stupid and vicious in the American character. They are the racists and hate mongers among us; they are the Ku Klux Klan. I piss down the throats of these Nazis. And I am too old to worry about whether they like it or not. Fuck them.

• Now, years later, I still have trouble when I think about Chicago (’68). That week at the Convention changed everything I’d ever taken for granted about this country and my place in it… Everytime I tried to tell somebody what happened in Chicago I began crying , and it took me years to understand why… Chicago was the End of the Sixties, for me.

• I was also drunk, crazy and heavily armed at all times. People trembled and cursed when I came into a public room and started screaming in German.

On politics and politicians

• There is no way to grasp what a shallow, contemptible and hopelessly dishonest old hack Hubert Humphrey is until you’ve followed him around for a while.

• We disagree so violently on almost everything that it’s a real pleasure to drink with him. If nothing else, he’s absolutely honest in his lunacy — and I’ve found, during my admittedly limited experience in political reporting, that power & honesty very rarely coincide.

• ‘Bill Clinton does not inhale marijuana, right? You bet. Like I chew on LSD but I don’t swallow it.

• There was one exact moment, in fact, when I knew for sure that Al Gore would never be President of the United States, no matter what the experts were saying — and that was when the whole Bush family suddenly appeared on TV and openly scoffed at the idea of Gore winning Florida. It was Nonsense, said the Candidate, Utter nonsense. . . Anybody who believed Bush had lost Florida was a Fool. The Media, all of them, were Liars & Dunces or treacherous whores trying to sabotage his victory. . . Here was the whole bloody Family laughing & hooting & sneering at the dumbness of the whole world on National TV. The old man was the real tip-off. The leer on his face was almost frightening. It was like looking into the eyes of a tall hyena with a living sheep in its mouth. The sheep’s fate was sealed, and so was Al Gore’s.

• The towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for Peace in Our Time, in the United States or any other country. Make no mistake about it: We are At War now — with somebody — and we will stay At War with that mysterious Enemy for the rest of our lives.

• It will be guerilla warfare on a global scale, with no front lines and no identifiable enemy… We are going to punish somebody for this attack, but just who or what will be blown to smithereens for it is hard to say. Maybe Afghanistan, maybe Pakistan or Iraq, or possibly all three at once. Who knows?

• This is going to be a very expensive war, and Victory is not guaranteed — for anyone, and certainly not for anyone as baffled as George W. Bush. All he knows is that his father started the war a long time ago, and that he, the goofy child-President, has been chosen by Fate and the global Oil industry to finish it Now.

• The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what’s coming now. The party’s over, folks. . . [Censorship of the news] is a given in wartime, along with massive campaigns of deliberately-planted “Dis-information”. That is routine behavior in Wartime — for all countries and all combatants — and it makes life difficult for people who value real news.

• This blizzard of mind-warping war propaganda out of Washington is building up steam. Monday is Anthrax, Tuesday is Bankruptcy, Friday is Child-Rape, Thursday is Bomb-scares, etc., etc., etc… If we believed all the brutal, frat-boy threats coming out of the White House, we would be dead before Sunday. It is pure and savage terrorism reminiscent of Nazi Germany.

• It ain’t much, but it’s the only weapon we have against the Greedheads.
  • On voting

• We are turning into a nation of whimpering slaves to Fear — fear of war, fear of poverty, fear of random terrorism, fear of getting down-sized or fired because of the plunging economy, fear of getting evicted for bad debts, or suddenly getting locked up in a military detention camp on vague charges of being a Terrorist sympathizer.

• It is hard to ignore the prima facie dumbness that got us bogged down in this nasty war in the first place. This is not going to be like Daddy’s War, old sport. He actually won, and he still got run out of the White House nine months later.. . The whole thing sucks. It was wrong from the start, and it is getting wronger by the hour.

• Three journalists have died in Baghdad… American troops are killing journalists in a profoundly foreign country, under cover of a war being fought for savage, greed-crazed reasons that most of them couldn’t explain or even understand.

• What the hell is going on here? How could this once-proud nation have changed so much, so drastically, in only a little more than two years. In what seems like the blink of an eye, this George Bush has brought us from a prosperous nation at peace to a broke nation at war.

• But wow! This goofy child president we have on our hands now. He is demonstrably a fool and a failure, and this is only the summer of ’03. The American nation is in the worst condition I can remember in my lifetime, and our prospects for the immediate future are even worse. . . The Bush family must be very proud of themselves today, but I am not. Big Darkness, soon come. Take my word for it.

• The utter collapse of this Profoundly criminal Bush conspiracy will come none too soon for people like me… The massive plundering of the U.S. Treasury and all its resources has been almost on a scale that is criminally insane, and has literally destroyed the lives of millions of American people and American families. Exactly. You and me, sport — we are the ones who are going to suffer, and suffer massively. This is going to be just like the Book of Revelation said it was going to be — the end of the world as we knew it.

• I had a truly horrible dream last night. . . [Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mike Tyson and I] were on our way to a TV studio for a debate about his long-time working friendship with the powerful Bush family from Texas and how it might affect the next Bush presidency when The Terminator seizes power in Sacramento and tries to hand over the state’s 54 electoral votes by election day in 2004. That is the basic plan behind Schwarzenegger running. He doesn’t want to be Governor, he just wants the electoral votes to go to Bush this time.

• Why are we seeing George Bush on TV every two hours for nine or ten days at a time, like some kind of mutated Mr. Rogers clone? Something is dangerously wrong in any country where a monumentally-failed backwoods politician can scare our national TV networks so totally that they will give him anything he wants.

• I have never had much faith in our embattled child President’s decision-making powers… I know that is not what you want to hear/read at this time, especially if you happen to be serving in the doomsday mess that is currently the U.S. Army.

• I take no pleasure in being Right in my dark predictions about the fate of our military intervention in the heart of the Muslim world. It is immensely depressing to me. Nobody likes to be betting against the Home team.

• If we get chased out of Iraq with our tail between our legs, that will be the fifth consecutive Third-world country with no hint of a Navy or an Air Force to have whipped us in the past 40 years.

• This is no time for the “leader of the free world” to be falling asleep at massively-popular sporting events. . .Was [Bush] drunk? Does he fear the sight of an uncovered nipple? Was he lying? Does he believe in his heart that there are more evangelical Christians in this country than football fans and sex-crazed yoyos with unstable minds? Is he really as dumb as he looks and acts? These are all unsatisfactory questions at a time like this.

• Is it possible that he has already abandoned all hope of getting re-elected? Or does he plan to cancel the Election altogether by declaring a national military emergency with terrorists closing in from all sides, leaving him with no choice but to launch a huge bomb immediately?. . . Desperate men do desperate things, and stupid men do stupid things. We are in for a desperately stupid summer.

• For myself, I would much prefer to be stuck with Kentucky in the NCAA Tournament, than stuck with George Bush in the White House. It is the difference between losing your wallet at a cock fight and losing all your credit cards forever, along with your job and your house and your ability to earn enough money to pay off your sports-gambling debts or even a six-pack on game day. . .

• The 2004 presidential election will be a matter of life or death for the whole nation. We are sick today, and we will be even sicker tomorrow if this wretched half-bright swine of a president gets re-elected in November.

• Not even the foulest atrocities of Adolf Hitler ever shocked me so badly as these Abu Ghraibphotographs did.
  • • (Later edited to read “These horrifying digital snapshots of the American dream in action on foreign soil are worse than anything even I could have expected.”) Drudge Report(2004-05-24)

• These horrifying digital snapshots of the American dream in action on foreign soil are worse than anything even I could have expected. I have been in this business a long time and I have seen many staggering things, but this one is over the line. Now I am really ashamed to carry an American passport.

• Bush is a natural-born loser with a filthy-rich daddy who pimped his son out to rich oil-mongers. He hates music, football and sex, in no particular order, and he is no fun at all.

• Today, the Panzer-like Bush machine controls all three branches of our federal government, the first time that has happened since Calvin Coolidge was in the White House. And that makes it just about impossible to mount any kind of Congressional investigation of a firmly-entrenched president like George Bush. The time has come to get deeply into football. It is the only thing we have left that ain’t fixed.

On Nixon

• Richard Nixon has never been one of my favorite people anyway. For years I’ve regarded his existence as a monument to all the rancid genes and broken chromosomes that corrupt the possibilities of the American Dream; he was a foul caricature of himself, a man with no soul, no inner convictions, with the integrity of a hyena and the style of a poison toad. The Nixon I remembered was absolutely humorless; I couldn’t imagine him laughing at anything except maybe a paraplegic who wanted to vote Democratic but couldn’t quite reach the lever on the voting machine.

• What we are looking at on all our TV sets is a man who finally, after 24 years of frenzied effort, became the President of the United States with a personal salary of $200,000 a year and an unlimited expense account including a fleet of private helicopters, jetliners, armored cars, personal mansions and estates on both coasts and control over a budget beyond the wildest dream of King Midas . . . and all the dumb bastard can show us, after five years of total freedom to do anything he wants with all this power, is a shattered national economy, disastrous defeat in a war we could have ended four years ago on far better terms than he finally came around to, and a hand-picked personal staff put together through five years of screening, whose collective criminal record will blow the minds of high-school American History students for the next 100 years.

• Jesus! How much more of this cheap-jack bullshit can we be expected to take from that stupid little gunsel? Who gives a fuck if he’s lonely and depressed down there in San Clemente? If there were any such thing as true justice in this world, his rancid carcass would be somewhere down around Easter Island right now, in the belly of a hammerhead shark.

• He was a crook.

• Some people will say that words like scum and rotten are wrong for Objective Journalism — which is true, but they miss the point. It was the built-in blind spots of the Objective rules and dogma that allowed Nixon to slither into the White House in the first place. He looked so good on paper that you could almost vote for him sight unseen. He seemed so all-American, so much like Horatio Alger, that he was able to slip through the cracks of Objective Journalism. You had to get Subjective to see Nixon clearly, and the shock of recognition was often painful.

• He could shake your hand and stab you in the back at the same time.

• If the right people had been in charge of Nixon’s funeral, his casket would have been launched into one of those open-sewage canals that empty into the ocean just south of Los Angeles. He was a swine of a man and a jabbering dupe of a president. Nixon was so crooked that he needed servants to help him screw his pants on every morning. Even his funeral was illegal. He was queer in the deepest way. His body should have been burned in a trash bin.

• It is Nixon himself who represents that dark, venal and incurably violent side of the American character that almost every country in the world has learned to fear and despise. Our Barbie-doll president, with his Barbie-doll wife and his boxful of Barbie-doll children is also America’s answer to the monstrous Mr. Hyde. He speaks for the Werewolf in us.

• Nixon will be remembered as a classic case of a smart man shitting in his own nest. But he also shit in our nests, and that was the crime that history will burn on his memory like a brand. By disgracing and degrading the Presidency of the United States, by fleeing the White House like a diseased cur, Richard Nixon broke the heart of the American Dream.

Unsourced

• I went to the Democratic Conventionas a journalist, and returned a cold-blooded revolutionary.
  • An alternate quote is “I went to the Democratic Convention as a journalist, and returned a raving beast.”
• Breakfast is the only meal of the day that I tend to view with the same kind of traditionalized reverence that most people associate with Lunch and Dinner. I like to eat breakfast alone, and almost never before noon; anybody with a terminally jangled lifestyle needs at least one psychic anchor every twenty-four hours, and mine is breakfast. In Hong Kong, Dallas or at home — and regardless of whether or not I have been to bed — breakfast is a personal ritual that can only be properly observed alone, and in a spirit of genuine excess. The food factor should always be massive: four Bloody Marys, two grapefruits, a pot of coffee, Rangoon crepes, a half-pound of either sausage, bacon, or corned beef hash with diced chiles, a Spanish omelette or eggs Benedict, a quart of milk, a chopped lemon for random seasoning, and something like a slice of Key lime pie, two margaritas, and six lines of the best cocaine for dessert…. Right, and there should also be two or three newspapers, all mail and messages, a telephone, a notebook for planning the next twenty-four hours and at least one source of good music…. All of which should be dealt with outside, in the warmth of a hot sun, and preferably stone naked.

• “The third president, Thomas Jefferson, had a vision of America. He believed that this whole new country, this giant unformed continent offered a chance to start again. The premise was very simple. That human beings acting in a sense of enlightened self interest are smart enough to do the right thing and know the truth. America could have been a fantastic monument to all the best instincts of the human race. Instead, we just moved in here and destroyed the place from coast to coast like killer snails. Everybody wants power over a country that’s had it’s day. I think we’re finished.”

• I have never been able to properly explain myself in this climate.

• Fear? I know not fear. There are only moments of confusion. Some of them are deeply stamped on my memory and a few will haunt me forever.

• A word to the wise is infuriating.

• Going to trial with a lawyer who considers your whole life-style a Crime in Progress is not a happy prospect.

• I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they’ve always worked for me. **Variant: I wouldn’t recommend sex, drugs, or insanity for everyone, but they’ve always worked for me..

• If I’d written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people — including me — would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.
• In the old days it was just a matter of being caught smoking cigarettes in the band room or drinking beer at lunchtime in the parking lot — and those crimes were serious, at the time, but they were not so serious as to get you expelled from the system forever. That is the hallmark of the Reagan Administration — a Punishment Ethic that permeates the whole infrastructure of American life and eventually gets down to George Orwell‘s notion, in Animal Farm, that “all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

• “The Sixties were an era of extreme reality. I miss the smell of tear gas. I miss the fear of getting beaten.”
  —Independent on Sunday, October 12, 1997

  “Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men’s reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of ‘the rat race’ is not yet final.”
  —The Great Shark Hunt, 1979

  “If I’d written the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people—including me—would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.”
  —Rolling Stone, February 15, 1973

  “Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish—a product of the demented imagination of a lazy drunken hillbilly with a heart full of hate who has found a way to live out where the real winds blow—to sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love and not getting arrested . . . Res ipsa loquitur. Let the good times roll.”
  —Gonzo Papers, Vol. 2: Generation of Swine: Tales of Shame and Degradation in the ’80s, 1988

  “We are turning into a nation of whimpering slaves to Fear—fear of war, fear of poverty, fear of random terrorism, fear of getting down-sized or fired because of the plunging economy, fear of getting evicted for bad debts or suddenly getting locked up in a military detention camp on vague charges of being a Terrorist sympathizer.”
  —”Extreme Behavior in Aspen,” February 3, 2003

  “In a nation ruled by swine, all pigs are upwardly mobile—and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. We owe that to ourselves and our crippled self-image as something better than a nation of panicked sheep.”
  —The Great Shark Hunt, 1979

  “There are times, however, and this is one of them, when even being right feels wrong. What do you say, for instance, about a generation that has been taught that rain is poison and sex is death? If making love might be fatal and if a cool spring breeze on any summer afternoon can turn a crystal blue lake into a puddle of black poison right in front of your eyes, there is not much left except TV and relentless masturbation. It’s a strange world. Some people get rich and others eat shit and die.”
  —Gonzo Papers, Vol. 2: Generation of Swine: Tales of Shame and Degradation in the ’80s, 1988

  We have been tricked into fighting perpetual wars of mass genocide for pointless profit.  There is no enemy. The enemy is within the US government. All exterior enemies are created to justify the advancing military industrial complex.

  There is only one way war will end.  The masses must rise up, unite, and demand world peace.

  Here is Truth11 Films latest short film set to The Lotus Eater by Opeth.  Perpetual War.

Welcome to Truth11.com. Dedicated to the truth, true journalism and to the truth movement.  The articles, quotes, books and movies are all freely provided here for one reason; to let everyone know the truth about our universe so everyone may be free of propaganda and make informed decisions about the world around them.

The mass media provides an untruthful reality to brainwash the masses.  Independent media sites like Truth11.com are a growing source of information that is based upon reality and fact.  Not political control and deceit.  This site does not make money at all. It does not charge for advertising or for content.  There is no money drives or requests for donations.  The motivation of this site is to enable the population to see the forest for the trees and to wake up everyone to the reality that we are being controlled by an evil few.  Wars are being waged, millions of innocent lives are taken for profit and greed.  Starvation, poverty, economic collapse, all controlled stages of a stupid world game played by a cabal of corrupt fascists that have been in power for too long.

The truth will set us free, because we are imprisoned and enslaved to a corrupt system that relies on illusion and lies.  The power of programming and propaganda forged over thousands of years, is instantly lost forever, once the truth is known. We have been slaves for thousands of years.  Once in physical bondage, then econ

omic slavery and finally their plan is totalitarian fascist control with perpetual mass genocide in the name of eugenics and the fake war on terror.

The time has come to switch the global understanding of our reality.  We must expose the puppet masters to free the masses from their grip. This time we are in is very exciting due to the fact that

more people know the truth today than ever before, and this tyrannical reign can finally come to an end.  With the power of the internet, email and activism, the truth movement is spreading, and the corrupt, evil, war mongering, genocidal few that are in power now, are loosing their grip on the world because people are learning the truth and doing something about it.

The truth will enlighten, inspire, awaken, and unite us.  United we are unstoppable.  Their first order of business was divide and conquer, so ours must be to learn the truth and unite.  We out number the new world order millions to one. Its time we realized our power of strength in numbers. The power of their propaganda is instantly lost once the truth is known, add the strength of unity and we can bring utopia to planet earth as a collective.  We can communicate as a collective and decide what is best for us all, we can abolish the structure that breeds corruption where the few decides what is best for the many.  And forge a system of self-government where the masses decide what is best for the masses.

Please do your part and assist the truth movement.  Email links to articles, share directly from the article.  Tell others about Truth11.com and sites like Truth11 so they can find out what is really going on.  The Truth Will Set Us Free.
