Germboys, Executive Orders and Vaccines

—-A beautiful baby!  

John and Samantha were so excited when they brought their baby home from the hospital.  Samantha was Canadian and so, even though John had a job in the United States, they traveled to Canada to have the baby.  They were poor and couldn’t afford the high costs of hospital fees.  Their new daughter was named Sarah, after the most beautiful women in the bible.  When home, Sarah drank unpasteurized milk from her mother, made all the more nutritious by the quality food from their garden Sarah’s mother ate.  There was always a smile on Sarah’s face which caused John and Samantha to wonder if their baby might not be the happiest one of all their acquaintance. Whenever she did cry, they changed her or nursed her until she was happy again. When Sarah was six months old, they took her to church to be baptized.  Everything seemed complete.  Five years later John and Samantha were told Sarah couldn’t enter public school.  Why…because she hadn’t been vaccinated. 

Sound like fiction?  This is exactly what is facing 2,300 parents in Maryland where, according to the Washington Post, they may now face jail time and costly fines for refusing to have their children vaccinated.  The children are not allowed to start school until the inoculations take place.  The jail time for the parents is for “truancy”, although this has been identified as vaccination through the backdoor.  Some colleges and universities are now making childhood vaccines a requirement for entry while the sheer number of vaccines now being recommended is steadily growing.  Parents aren’t taking it quietly.

 

“Doctors are charging parents extra for bringing up the subject,” says Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, who heads up the Osteo Med II clinic in Ohio, a center providing alternative and traditional medicine.  Speaking on the popular radio program Coast to Coast am this week, she said  “Doctors have adopted a paternalistic attitude towards their patients,” she said.  “They complain that parents think they know best and have started fining them—or walking out—for bringing up vaccines.”  [this is a paraphrase of her words based on memory]

 

Time Magazine and Newsweek have said parents think they know better than their doctors. Parents who choose a diet for their children, even if not an ideal diet, are more informed about health than those families which do not eat consciously at all. Conversely, parents who decide which vaccines they want their children to have, and which ones they don’t, are going to be more informed than parents who don’t ask any questions at all. Moreover, our whole legal system relies on the ability of lay people to evaluate claims of competing experts.  There is simply no basis to assert that parents—or journalists—-are incapable of educating themselves on this matter and making an informed decision.

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny has been working for years to educate parents about the dangers and health risks associated with vaccines.  She says that vaccines often do not work, contain dangerous chemicals (formaldehyde) and metals (mercury and aluminum), and work to suppress the immune system.  She writes:

If a “dirty bomb” exposed a large segment of US citizens simultaneously to Hepatitis B, Hepatitis A, tetanus, pertussis, diphtheria, Haemophilus influenza B, three strains of polio viruses, 3 strains of influenza viruses, measles, mumps, and rubella viruses, the chickenpox virus, and 7 strains of Streptococcus bacteria, we would declare a national emergency. We would call it an “extreme act of BIOTERRORISM”. The public outcry would be immense and our government would act accordingly. And yet, those are the very organisms that we inject through vaccines into our babies and our small children, with immature, underdeveloped immune systems. Many are given all at the same time. But instead of bioterrorism, we call it “protection.” Reflect a moment on that irony.

   —-Do vaccines contain mercury?   

Dr. Joseph Mercola, who runs a natural health website and is the author of Take Control of Your Health, has repeatedly stated that flu vaccines contain mercury and urged people not to receive flu shots, which many still do annually.  Other health experts have repeated similar concerns about the way mercury is used in medical science, including its widespread use in dentistry.  Many of the ingredients in vaccines are proprietary and new legislation has legalized pharmaceutical company’s determination to never disclose the ingredients.  New laws make them immune from lawsuits.  For this reason, it is hard to say exactly what is in many of the vaccines.  But are they helping?  Are grade-school children now free from contracting Hepatitis B (a disease only associated with sexual intercourse and intravenous drug use)? 

 

According to an article in the Oregonian this year, one in every 150 kids is now born with some form of Autism.  Some argue that these numbers, astonishing if they are to be believed, are because of the expanding definition of autism and the autism spectrum disorders.  If this is so, it is only because we now seek words to explain a disease that was unheard of 100 years ago.  We now have to seriously ask if vaccines are maybe creating an emergency unprecedented in our nations history.  Is a health emergency facing us because of the medical establishment’s obsession with getting everyone inoculated? Many books and articles have been written on the mercury/autism connection and the vaccines that perhaps facilitate autism although categorical evidence is lacking.  But there are other diseases associated with getting vaccinated.

 

Gulf war syndrome is a generic word describing a whole host of symptoms plaguing our armed forces from chronic fatigue to multiple chemical sensitivity.  It is interesting that military men and women receive many vaccines, lining up in a row to receive one after the other, including inoculations against anthrax.  There have been many cases of sudden and serious illness following these shots.  The amount soldiers’ children born with autism and birth defects is shocking.  Gulf War Syndrome is not, however, a recognized medical ailment as that would make these soldiers eligible for free care in VA hospitals.

 

 

—–Germboys and Bolsheviks

 

 

It is ironic that parents are not now allowed to choose what is best for their children after educating themselves, and depicted as fools in the corporate media when they do, but politicians are. New laws passed by congress and executive orders passed by the White House, allow for mandatory vaccines in the event of an unspecified emergency or bird-flu.  The legislation states clearly that an emergency is one that is defined by the executive branch and those who refuse these potential vaccines, as these parents do now in Maryland, can be quarantined.  Similar proposals by members of Bush Administration, such as one put forward by the now indicted Lewis I “Skooter” Libby, allow for low flying aircraft to administer vaccines to whole cities in the new American century.  This aid to the Vice President was so obsessed with getting everyone immunized that he was known to Bush’s cabinet as Germboy.  He even wrote a novel about a smallpox epidemic which required governments to take action and implement a mass vaccination program.  Scooter Libby advocated—along with others in the present government, using race based bioweapons as a tool of warfare, in a secret document that was leaked to the New York Times, after which Scooter Libby did not deny being one of the signatories.   Libby was present, along with New York Times reporter Judith Miller—who went to jail in the case which finally indicted Libby, when the Vice President oversaw a war game dealing with a bioterror attack.  The possibility of a pandemic is real and caution is needed.  But only after we face the hazard arising from the many bioweapons labs and disease experiments that go on in this country will we be in a position to deal effectively—or even talk—about any pandemic mother nature may send.  We have just finished a couple years hype about bird-flu.  It faded just as quickly as the SARS scare.  The weekend before a possible bird-flu first hit the news, and Eastern Europeans started slaughtering their birds in response, there was a front page article in the New York Times, which might as well have been on the last page.  It said that United States government scientists had travelled to Alaska to dig up the frozen remains of some men who had died in the great flu epidemic of 1917 and were preparing to recreate the virus in a laboratory.  It is a truth that our government has, in the past, experimented on its people.  That is admitted now in declassified documents. There is no basis to assume our government isn’t capable of unleashing a virus to consolidate its power.  And when you look at this present government, there is every reason to believe they could—and would—be capable of creating a problem to bring in the predetermined solution.

 

 

 —A New Paradigm in Health 

 

 

Weston Price, when he traveled around the world looking at the diets of various healthy cultures known for their longevity, found that the unchlorinated, unfluoridated water the children drank had trace amounts of polio and other childhood diseases which acted as a natural inoculation.  Alternative health experts have observed that our immune systems are too pure and need the stimulation from bacteria and germs found in unpasteurized dairy products and water from many third world countries.  A recent study printed in National Geographic confirmed this.  It found that children who had grown up with barnyard animals in the house had fewer cases of adult illness and the flu.  Moreover, the basis of good health, according to naturopathic physician and yoga instructor Laura Washington, who practices in Portland, OR—where I live, is the autonomic nervous system.  The established medical community doesn’t even recognize the existence of the autonomic nervous system, but it is the basis for feeling good.  She has explained to me that having an autonomic nervous system on track allows everything else to freely function.  It could be as simple as giving up a food, or naturally correcting some deficiency in the endocrine system.  Oftentimes people assume that they just don’t feel good because of other factors, such as depression or temperament, and don’t look further.  The presupposition of the prevailing medical doctrine is that illnesses and mental afflictions have no real cause and cannot be treated.  This ignorance even prevails among many alternative health professionals.  The Paradigm of health that Weston Price discovered and wrote about is the answer to all the illnesses facing us today, and it is enjoyable.  He says that animal fat is good and that meet is good, along with everything that is natural.  We can have death by diet, or health by diet, according to Weston Price.  Real food, however, is becoming scarce.

 

 

It will be uphill work for anyone who wants to implement Weston Price’s findings in their lives. The case in Maryland may be a test for the resolve of these parents who now face jail time for refusing to have their children vaccinated.  New hurdles await even after a possible victory in this Maryland case, which is by no means yet certain now that colleges and universities are requiring students to show vaccinations before entry and the immigration requirements in this regard are also becoming more strict. 

 

 

Recently a similar case arose in Texas when Governor Rick Perry signed an executive order demanding all 11 and 12 years old girls to get vaccinated for cervical cancer, a sexually transmitted disease.  He was forced to rescind the directive after a popular outcry.  That laws are now being passed mandating vaccination of children against sexually transmitted diseases (cervical cancer and hepatitis B); that healthy college kids should be required to go back and receive childhood vaccines, shows an inoculation ideology separated from any real health concerns.

 

 

This worries me.  Will my future children not be able to attend public school unless they are first vaccinated?  I don’t want any vaccines for my future children.  Will I go to jail for feeding raw goats’ milk to my children?   Already the Environmental Protection Agency shows up on organic farms with guns to close down the raw milk operations.  What about the rights of the consumer?  Will I have to raise my children in another country because the land of my birth has grown unsafe?  Do we even want to live in a country so Leninist?  Is the idyllic story of John and Samantha bringing their baby home and allowing God and nature to do the rest only a pipe dream?  American people are too quiescent.  Laws such as Congress’ Biodefence and Pandemic Vaccine and Drug Development Act of 2005 and the many Executive orders dealing with the subject, to which I have alluded, only occur if we let them.  These laws should not be surprising in a country where the President says to members of congress that he thinks “the constitution is just a god-damn piece of paper.”  The reaction of the American people, or non-reaction, however, is quite shocking. We have the power.  For example, if the American people had have started demanding raw milk when health food stores first become in-vogue, there might now be a thriving raw milk industry.  The same is true for vaccines. It is time to stand up and demand our rights. 

CIA agent confesses to Kennedy assasination

CIA operative and former watergate co-conspirator E Howard Hunt left a death bed tape recording that was played on national radio confessing to the assisination of President Kennedy in 1964.  He said that Lyndon Johnson ordered the assisination and, although, he played a minor role as a “benchwarmer”, ready to be brought in if needed, he had been approached by the CIA and told that they were planning to kill Kennedy and asked if he wanted to help out.

 Unfortunately, this did not make national news.  There was a total media blackout.  The same is true for the government officials who confessed to involvement with 9/11 and nuking the Oklahoma City federal building.

TERROR DRILLS IN PORTLAND TURN REAL

TEAR DRILL TURN REAL!!!

TEAR DRILLS TURN REAL!!!

TEAR DRILLS TURN REAL!!!

Tear drills turn real, then not so much.

These were the headlines in today Oregonian.  The next line read…Then Not So Much.  Radio station KEX reported that evening that, “The terror drills turned live briefly yesterday.”

Am I the only one who see’s in this some kind of dark comedy? 

In thus mentioning yesterday’s fake“real”disaster, the Oregonian admits for the first time the existence of war games in Portland.  Topoff 4 has thousands of soldiers, military officials, federal agents (spies, murderers and creeps) crawling around our friendly city this week faking a dirty-bomb going off and the city’s ability to cope with such a disaster.

Members of the Portland 9/11 truth community had sat down with the editors of the Oregonian and warned of just such an eventuality, even presenting them with an editorial, which wasn’t published, explaining the background for war games and the past precedent for them running amok and turning deadly. 

The master of crying wolf himself, Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff, was seen fleeing from his Portland Hotel with security entourage in tow.  The fiasco that happened at the Loyd Center Mall yesterday had confused shoppers asking if this was for real or part of the war games as security agents brought out hundreds of feet of crime scene tape, evacuated parking lots, and stood around in riot gear. 

This has got to be the apex of caustic humor. 

Apparently the bomb sniffing dogs that were part of the drill had gotten a whiff of bomb residue in one of the officials car.  Yet the image of Chertoff fleeing his hotel with his security entourage, while police dressed in riot gear tell confused shoppers that, “No this is real this time, not part of the drills…a real crime,” while helicopters are flying overhead, is surely the farce to end all farces.  And yet what makes this so funny is the touch of reality that is behind the curtain of madness.  These people could hire a theatrical company from Europe that could do a better job of lying.  It’s like they want to believe their own propoganda and are trying to convince themselves.

It reminds me of similar in your face charades played by the globalist forces of the New World Order. 

On 7/7, if you recall, there was one bus that was bombed, in addition to the tube bombings.  That one bus had been rerouted.  An enterprising reporter found out that the man who had the authority to make these changes—London’s Transport Commissioner Bob Kiley—was a former high level CIA agent (once an agent always an agent). 

In pictures of the partially bombed out bus, one can see the words “Outrights Terror: Bold and Brilliant” writen across the side, advertising a low-budget movie by that name.  One also see’s a white commercial van with writing advertising a company.  The white van ploy is a neccesary element for any paranoid conspiracy theory and UFO buffs, but in this case it turned out there really was a white van.  The agency written across it, Kingstar, is a controlled demolition company. It’s also interesting that the Butcher of 9/11, Rudi Giuliani, was just yards from Liverpool station where the bombs went off and war games were being played which mimicked the real attacks.  Giuliani’s security company is not only hired by governments.  It also performs simulated sabotages for private firms.  This is safer.  If anyone is caught, it is the private sector that has really carried out the atrocities.  But the bad guys usually leak out what happened, as if they are proud of it.  So after 7/7/, you had a former Scotland Yard official, who was then in charge of a private security firm, going on the BBC saying they were running drills in the exact same time and locations as the real attacks.  Same thing on 9/11, they let us know.  The war games that day exactly mimicked the real attacks as the CIA practiced flying planes into buildings.  There have been numourous confirmations of this, from all over the government.

It is clear that the people who do these things (I’m not allowed to say the “I” word, so I usually use a euphemism, but you get my point…a thousand points of light etc), leave a trail, like the magician who does his trick right in front of your face so that you don’t expect it.  An outright lie is hardly ever believed because it is too bold and brilliant.  Say the exact opposite of what is really true and you will be believed.  That’s the lesson Hitler’s propaganda minister Goring told his Nuremberg lawyers.

Let’s hope this isn’t the prelude to a cataclysmic horror show.  Now, more than ever, 9/11 truth matters and spreading the word about the precedent to war games turning deadly is so important.  It really should not surprise us, though, that our leaders guns have turned towards their own population.  These same people who are in power now were waging a brutal war against the people of Latin America during the 1980’s.  Matin Luther King was right when he said that the United States, “was on the wrong side of a world revolution.”  In most cases, the people that were targeted by Reagan’s death squads were only guilty of wanting democracy for their countries.  It’s interesting that our government has been l to kill millions of people in Latin America for the last 5 decades (in the case of Nicaragua, a quarter of the population was exterminated) with virtually no comment by the people of the United States.  Anyone who doubts that Americans are affected with the vice of genocide denying can just do a little experiment by mentioning,  the next time they are at a cocktail party, about the US airforce bombing neighborhoods and dragging students, priest and professors off to their south American gulags and see what kind of reactions they get.  Genocide minimizing is also an American vice.  I say this as the death toll in Iraq is getting close to a million. 

Maintaining this website was more than I could handle because I wind up spending all my time doing homework and study.  And it did not really turn out like I had hoped. It is interesting, though, to find that people link to my website, though, by typing “kombucha debunk” into search engines and other ridiculous things.  And it is also gratifying to know that between 20 and 40 people a day are logging in, even though I have received—as yet—very little feedback from readers.  But I really need to back off and stay away.  The kind of writing that generates results, moreover, is done slowly and carefully—not in haste.   Thankfully, a friend has offered to repair my computer.  I may, therefore, be able to write from home.  So we’ll  see what happens.  I have learned from my father that a good writer has a work ethic and, while talent helps, it’s necessary to sit down in the morning and just write, and then re-write.  WordPress is ideal for that because it allows editing, unlike many websites and blogs.   Apparently my name, however, doesn’t turn up this website because I haven’t written my name anywhere on this website yet.  so: patrick phillips, patrick phillips, patrick phillips, patrick phillips, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11.  Take that and stuff it up your algorithm.

I have been trying to memorize the international phonetic alphabet and wondering how it is practical and why I need to know this stuff.  I don’t wonder that anymore.  Yesterday I went to a language tutor for a foreign language course I am taking.  I was having trouble with the pronunciation of a word.  She said, “The consonant influences the vowel.”  Then she whipped out her black marker and wrote the word on the board in the IPA.  “I get it,” I said to myself.  “That’s so awesome.”  Without the IPA, the letters in her native language would have been misleading.   So linguistics really is practical. 

I saw my naturalpathic physician yesterday as well.  There is a link with her contact information to the right.  I started seeing her for the first time a couple years ago.  Back then, she started me on natural thyroid supplements—as well as treating other things.  She announced to me yesterday that my thyroid was now repaired and I did not need to take the bovine thyroid anymore.  That’s wild, I thought.  Then I thought, Praise the Lord.  That’s what I had envisioned when I started seeing her.  But I thought it would take 20 years.  She said that taking thyroid supplements at this point would acutally be countereffective.  Wow!!  I’m still realing over this one. 

What happened yesterday shouldn’t have happened according to the ideology of medical science, which is more concerned with method then outcome and treats everyone on the basis of statistics rather than  everyone differently.  According to medical science, there is no repairing of the thyroid.  She explained it to me, during the first visit a couple years ago, that the cow DNA and the human DNA are so similar that the human thyroid starts grafting on to what the cow DNA, copying it and wa la.  My naturalpathic physician also said that many people do not know that they are switched (have confusion in the autonomic nervous system).  They just feel that something isn’t quite right, or they are tired, or don’t feel quite like they used to.  I feel better now than when I first started seeing her.  It seems that the older I grow, the moreenergy I have.  There is not much that I can do, but I wish everyone could feel such a turn around in their life energy as I have felt over the last few years.  When I think of the people who resign themselves to conditions that they think are congenital, or maybe spend so much time and money looking in the wrong places, I feel saddened.  I wish everyone could know the benefits of nutrition that I have experienced.

 Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners; now and at the hour of our death amen.

Here is an article I have lifted from www.911truth.org   It is by a Canadian Professor who I respect.  He is the one who coined the phrase “blueprint for world domination” to describe the Project for the New American Century, written by many member so Bush’s cabinet.  It is about the war games in Portland.  The more I learn about this, the more concerned I become.  The paralells with 9/11 are striking.  Also check www.mujca.com for updates.

By Prof. Michel Chossudovsky

Global Research, October 6, 2007

US Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) has announced the conduct of major war games under Vigilant Shield 2008 (VS-08).

Vigilant Shield 2008 (15 to 20 October, 2007) is designed to deal with a “terrorist” or “natural disaster” scenario in the United States. The operation will be coordinated in a joint endeavor by the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security.

Yet, VS-08, which includes a massive deployment of the US Air Force resembles a war-time air scenario rather than an anti-terrorist drill. The VS-08 war games extend over the entire North American shelf. Canadian territory is also involved through Canada’s participation in NORAD. (See Nazemroaya, October 2007)

These war games are being conducted at an important historical crossroads, amidst mounting US pressures and threats to actually declare a “real war” on Iran.

VS-08 is predicated on the doctrine of preemptive warfare, with a vie to protecting the Homeland. The war games are coordinated with anti-terrorist drills directed against presumed Islamic terrorists.

Moreover, the announcement by NORTHCOM of the VS-08 war games-anti-terror drills coincided with a declaration by the Bush administration in early September that military action against Iran is being contemplated at the highest echelons of the US government and Military:

“President George W Bush and his inner circle are taking steps to place America on the path to war with Iran, .. Pentagon planners have developed a list of up to 2,000 bombing targets in Iran, … Pentagon and CIA officers say they believe that the White House has begun a carefully calibrated programme of escalation that could lead to a military showdown with Iran. (Quoted in The Sunday Telegraph, 16 September 2007).

VS-08 is a large scale military exercise to be conducted over North America and the Northern Pacific Ocean, extending westwards towards the Far East borders of Russia and China:

“USNORTHCOM’s primary exercise venues for VS-08 include locations in Oregon, Arizona and a cooperative venue with USPACOM in the Territory of Guam. NORAD’s aerospace detection and defense events will take place across all the exercise venues, to exercise the ability to mobilize resources for aerospace defense, aerospace control, maritime warning, and coordination of air operations in a disaster area.” (PNC, October 2007)

Both the war games under VS-08 as well as the domestic antiterrorist drills involve the participation of Canada, Britain and Australia:

“VS-08 and National Level Exercise 1-08 will provide local, state, tribal, interagency, Department of Defense, and non-governmental organizations and agencies involved in homeland security and homeland defense the opportunity to participate in a full range of exercise scenarios that will better prepare participants to prevent and respond to national crises. The participating organizations will conduct a multi-layered, civilian-led response to a national crisis.”( See NORTHCOM Fact Sheet).

Pacific Shield 2007

Vigilant Shield 2008 will be preceded by another set of exercises organized by Japan. The Tokyo government will host a multinational Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) Maritime Interdiction Exercise “Pacific Shield 07”(PS-07) in the eastern sea area off Izu Oshima, and at the Ports of Yokosuka and Yokohama (13-15 October, (See the Japanese government communique). The stated objective of the PS 07 exercises is to “prevent the spread of weapons of mass destruction (WMD)”. Australia, France, New Zealand, Singapore, the UK, and the US will be participating in ‘Pacific Shield 07′.

“Linked Exercises”

The administration is talking about “linked exercises”, where war scenarios are conducted simultaneously and in close coordination with civilian anti-terrorist drills. This central concept –which underlies the “Global War on Terrorism”– has a direct bearing on the conduct of the US led war in the Middle East. At the same time, the process of “domestic security” has become entrenched and integrated into military planning.

The ‘linked exercises” provide an environment which favors the militarization of civilian institutions. They also impart the military with a further opportunity to interfere in domestic civilian law enforcement and judicial functions.

The conduct of the anti-terrorist exercise is intended to justify the need to retaliate against an illusive outside enemy (Al Qaeda), even if the US is not attacked.

But there are indications that the administration has envisaged from the standpoint of military planning, for several years now, a scenario of a second major terrorist attack on America . According to Pentagon officials referring to a classified military document:

“Another [second 911] attack could create both a justification and an opportunity that is lacking today to retaliate against some known targets [Iran, Syria], according to current and former defense officials familiar with the plan.” (WP 23 April 2006).

The above Pentagon statement suggests that a “Second 911″ attack characterised by a “mass casualty producing event” is part of military doctrine and planning. A real “false flag” attack or even the threat of a terrorist attack could be used as a justification to wage war on Iran.

In the month following the 2005 7/7 London bombings, Vice President Dick Cheney is reported to have instructed USSTRATCOM to draw up a contingency plan “to be employed in response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States”. Implied in the contingency plan is the certainty that Iran would be behind a Second 9/11.

Targeting Russia and China

VS-8 is based on a scenario of confrontation with Russia and China. The Bush administration has accused Tehran of supporting Islamic terrorism, while also pointing to the fact that Iran in fact has the support of both China and Russia.

While the contents of VS-08 have not been released, last year’s Vigilant Shield exercise (Vigilant Shield 07), which simulated the outbreak of a major war, contemplated four hypothetical enemies: Ruebek (Russia), Churya (China), Irmingham (Iran) and Nemazee (North Korea).

In last year’s briefing documents of the Vigilant Shield 07 war games, the following scenario was contemplated by participants:

“•Nemazee continues to develop nuclear and missile capabilities

• Southwest Asian country of Irmingham intent on uranium enrichment program

• Western countries and United States seeking U.N. assistance to halt Irmingham’s enrichment program

• Eurasian country of Ruebek attempts to mediate Irmingham crisis by offering nuclear oversight while secretly supporting enrichment program

• Asian country of Churya will become concerned at increasing level of Ruebek-U.S. hostility”

(quoted by William Arkin, Washington Post, October 2006)

The outcome of VS-07 was a limited attack by Ruebek and Nemazee on the United States.

“Minus 1 Day:
• Ruebek Expels US Mission

• Phase 2 / Execution: 10 – 14 Dec 06

– Pre-Attack I & W
– Imminent Terrorist Attack on Pentagon Suggests Pentagon COOP [continuity of operations plan]
– Nemazee Conducts 2 x ICBM Combat Launches Against United States
– Ruebek Conducts Limited Strategic Attack on United States”

quoted by William Arkin, Washington Post, October 2006)

TOPOFF 4: Selective Propaganda directed at “Top Officials”

This year’s VS-08 exercise combines the VS-08 hypothetical war scenario over the North American shelf with the conduct of major domestic anti-terrorist drills under TOPOFF 4.

The latter is a large scale anti-terror exercise for “top officials”. It includes the participation of senior decision makers from federal, State and municipal governments, law enforcement, nongovernmental bodies as well as representatives from the business community.

According to Denis Shrader, Deputy DHS Administrator in testimony to the US Congress (October 3):

“The exercise will be executed with the participation of all appropriate Cabinet-level secretaries or their deputies, and will include the activation of all necessary operations centers to accurately simulate a truly national response to these major terrorist incidents. This will include the utilization of all five elements of the National Operations Center and the FEMA Region IX and X Regional Response Coordination Centers. In addition, the FEMA Emergency Response Teams and Federal Incident Response Support Teams as well as DHS Situational Awareness Teams will activate in each of the venues and will simulate the establishment of a Joint Field Office in accordance with the latest National Response Framework guidance.”

This year’s TOPOFF 4 exercises involves setting off fake radiological dispersal devices (RDD) or “dirty bombs” in Oregon, Arizona and the US Pacific island territory of Guam. According to Northern Command:

“The T4 FSE, based on National Planning Scenario – 11 (NPS-11), begins as terrorists, who have been planning attacks in Oregon, Arizona, and the U.S. Territory of Guam successfully bring radioactive material into the United States. The first of three coordinated attacks occurs in Guam, with the simulated detonation of a Radiological Dispersal Device (RDD), or “dirty bomb,” causing casualties and widespread contamination in a populous area. Similar attacks occur in the hours that follow in Portland and Phoenix. A RDD is not the same as a nuclear attack. It is a conventional explosive that, upon detonation, releases radioactive material into the surrounding area. Although it does not cause the type of catastrophic damage associated with a nuclear detonation, there are severe rescue, health, and long-term decontamination concerns associated with a RDD.”

TOPOFF 4 will involve the participation of some 15,000 federal, state, territorial and local officials in what is described as “a full-scale response to a multi-faceted terrorist threat”. Canada, Australia and the UK will participate in TOPOFF. Observers from some 30 countries have also been invited.

“It will ‘accurately simulate a truly national response to these major terrorist incidents’ by emergency response teams, medical units, police forces and top government officials who will have to make difficult decisions to save lives.” (quoted by AFP, 4 October 2007)

TOPOFF is a propaganda operation intended for at top decision makers. The objective is to build a consensus among key decision makers that America is threatened by Islamic terrorists, using an improvised nuclear device.

These terrorists are, according to recent statements, supported by Tehran. The presumption is that the Islamic terrorists, rather than the US, UK or Israel, have the required military capabilities and constitute a real nuclear threat.

These various anti-terrorist scenarios are intended to build a consensus among key top officials in the US and its coalition partners that the terrorist threat is not only real but the terrorists would be attacking America in a “Second 911″ as part of a broader process of military confrontation, in which a number of enemy countries including Ruebek, Churya and Irmingham would be involved.

We are not, however, dealing with a classical media disinformation campaign. While the TOPOFF exercise has been casually mentioned in press reports, it is not the object of extensive media coverage. In fact very few people are aware of these exercises.

With regard to TOPOFF, the consensus building process is “internal”, it does not pertain to the public at large. The disinformation campaing is intended for key decision-makers within these various governmental and nongovernmental bodies. It includes more than 10,000 participants in important decision-making positions (federal and State officials, law enforcement, fire departments, hospitals, etc), who may be called to act in the case of an emergency situation. These individuals in turn have a mandate to impose the “Global War on Terrorism” consensus within their respective organizations, –i.e. with their co-workers and colleagues, as well as with the people working under their direct supervision.

In other words, this consensus building process reaches out to tens of thousands of people in positions of authority. The antiterrorist agenda and exercises thus become a “talking point” within numerous governmental and nongovernmental organizations.

In turn, the holding of these antiterrorist exercises supports the National Security doctrine of “preemptive war”, –i.e. that America has to legitimate right to self defense by intervening in foreign lands including Iran and that America must defend itself against terrorists.

It also sustains the myth of WMD in the hands of terrorists, being used against America, when in fact the US is the largest producer of WMD, with a defense budget of more than 450 billion dollars a year.

The objective is to sustain the war and national security agenda –and of course the possibility of martial law– within the governmental, nongovernmental and corporate business sectors. Ultimately, the objective is develop across the land, an unequivocal acceptance by key officials (and of their coworkers and subordinates), from the federal to the local level, for an emergency situation, where civil liberties and the rights of citizens would be suspended.

Will the Portland 9/11 truth groups please grow up!!

I have been made aware of an extreme degree of personal assaults generating from within certain factions of the Portland 9/11 truth community, directed toward other members.

No wonder the local media doesn’t take us seriously as we work to raise consciousness about these war games, when certain members accuse others of being “secret agents” and engage in really unethical and abusive behavior.  This latest round is really uncalled for.  What I have just seen borders on criminal, if not outright criminal.  I find it hard to imagine the kind of person who would spend a lot of time making a website that has the sole purpose of hurting other people.  Words cannot describe the lowness of such an endevour.

Although—this time—the accusations are not directed against me, I am in a position to empethise and say: Grow up.  If there are any adults circulating within these various local groups, they need to put their foot down and try to put a stop to this slander.  This stuff can flourish only because the adults in the group are maybe too cowed to act like adults and stay: Stop it. 

I am saddened by all this.   I would like to see a Portland 9/11 truth community where everyone works together despite political differences and where these differences are used as strengths, not as fuel to attack other people. 

As the week of war games approach, this is all the more necessary if we are to seem credible to the local media.  As long as personal, abusive, groundless attacks our made on other people, the Portland 9/11 truth community will seem t0o much like a soap opera to have any clout. 

This is serious!

The mastermind of 9/11, Dick Cheney, is arriving in Portland with up to 15,000 soldiers for more war games, some of which even includes “live explosions”.  It may be hard for outsiders to realize while this has the truth movement in such a panic.  It would be as if, according to the official conspiracy theory, Bin Laden suddenly arrived in Portland with 15,000 Al-Queda members and then published their intentions to play around with dirty bombs.  But that is exactly the case.  On 9/11, they were playing war games which mimicked the real attacks.  Not only 9/11, but 7/7 in London.   This is coming a month after six loose nukes were discovered missing from Cheney’s arsanle—an unprecedented security breach—and now he arrives in our city with 15,000 soldiers talking about faking “dirty-bombs” going off.   This is serious and the local media is not doing its job.  There is a silence on the part of the Oregoninan which makes Carl Bernstein’s words about Operatives placed in all local media ring true.  People have gone and sat down with the editors and explained how similar war games were played before and during 9/11, but just a total blackout.  

missing nukes! Cheney in Portland! War Games happening NOW!!

Dick Cheney & Vigilant Shield: Will a Missing Nuke from the B-52 Incident be used in a Simulated Terrorist Attack? 

By Michael Salla 

From October 15 to 19, 2007, a set of military and civil exercises will be held in Oregon, Arizona and Guam. The exercises, TOPOFF 4 and Vigilant Shield 08, are designed to test official responses to the detonation of radiological dispersal devices on U.S. territory. The exercises will be overseen by Vice President Dick Cheney who will travel specifically to Portland to coordinate all Federal departments and agencies responses to the simulated attacks. This has led to a number of civilian groups expressing alarm that TOPOFF and Vigilant Shield might be used as a cover for False Flag operations that replicate what occurred during the 911 attacks . On September 11, 2001, Dick Cheney was overseeing a series of simulated terrorist attacks involving hijacked airplanes hitting buildings that was called “Vigilant Guardian”. Vigilant Guardian was run simultaneously with NORAD training exercises called Vigilant Warrior and Northern Vigilance that altogether involved as many as eleven hijacked airplanes. This created much confusion and led to stand down orders for the US Air Force that was unsure if the 911 attacks were part of the simulated exercises or real attacks. This confusion accounted for the long delays between initial reports of hijacked planes being used in ‘terrorist’ attacks, and Air Force intercept missions being launched using the few planes not involved in the Northern Vigilance exercise. 

What makes TOPOFF 4 and Vigilant Shield especially concerning is that they follow upon an incident involving five (later revised up to six) nuclear cruise missiles found on a B-52 sitting on a tarmac at Barksdale Air Force Base on August 30. The Air Force has launched an official inquiry and so far has announced to the public that the B-52 incident was nothing more than an unusually high number of errors. A Washington Post article on September 23 summarized the main arguments for this explanation which has effectively put to an end any further investigations by mainstream media sources. In contrast, a number of researchers have argued that the B-52 incident could not have occurred without very senior officials giving orders, and others refusing to comply with such orders. According to Wayne Madsen a number of Air Force personnel refused to allow the nuclear armed B-52 to fly in a covert mission to Iran outside the normal chain of military command. Madsen describes the nature of the internal conflict over the B-52 incident: “Command and control breakdowns involving U.S. nuclear weapons are unprecedented, except for that fact that the U.S. military is now waging an internal war against neo-cons who are embedded in the U.S. government and military chain of command who are intent on using nuclear weapons in a pre-emptive war with Iran.” 

Madsen is alluding here to the most plausible explanation for the source of orders leading to the B-52 incident. The orders emanated from the office of the Vice President, and in particular Dick Cheney himself. Cheney’s orders were opposed all the way up the Department of Defense hierarchy including Admiral William Fallon, Commander of Central Command, and Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates. This is supported by a recent report in the Telegraph newspaper that Gates has become the chief opponent to Dick Cheney’s plans to commit the U.S. to another war against Iran and is encouraging military officers to be more candid in their assessments of a new conflict. 

What makes the B-52 incident even more disturbing is that six nuclear cruise missiles left Minot Air Force Base, and the initial Military Times report on September 5 reported that five nuclear warheads were discovered at Barksdale Air Force Base. This was subsequently revised by the Military Times to six in an updated story five days later on September 10. How could the Air Force mix up how many nuclear weapons were initially involved in the incident? The most plausible explanation is that there had been a discrepancy in the number of nuclear weapons that had left Minot and what had been later discovered at Barksdale? The nuclear armed B-52 had been sitting on the tarmac in an unsecured military environment for up to 10 hours before its nuclear payload was discovered. This offered plenty of time for the removal of one of the nuclear weapons. Such an event had to be covered up for national security purposes which is why the Military Times revised its initial report. The possibility of a missing nuclear weapon is augmented by an unprecedented official standown by the Air Force on September 14 where all planes were grounded allegedly to review Standard Operating Procedures. Was the Air Force really conducting an emergency inventory to locate any missing nuclear weapons? 

This raises the disturbing possibility that not only was the B-52 ordered to participate in a covert mission to attack Iran outside the regular chain of military command, but that one of its nuclear weapons was secretly siphoned off for another covert mission. If Dick Cheney did give the order for the nuclear weapons to be loaded on to the B-52, it is highly likely that he is aware of the location and potential use of the missing nuclear missile. A number of serious questions therefore need to be asked about the appropriateness of Cheney being in charge of TOPOFF 4 and Vigilant Shield. This is even more urgent if there is a missing nuclear warhead that was taken from the B-52 for a yet undisclosed mission. Could this mission be related to the TOPOFF and Vigilant Shield exercises?

Portland In Peril – TOPOFF 4/OPERATION VIGILANT SHIELD To Set The Stage For Bush’s Complete Takeover

Hey Gang,

I have suspended tonight’s Illuminati article to speak about something that was brought to my attention just yesterday by a blogger friend of mine.

Starting tomorrow all eyes of North America, indeed the world, will be on Portland, Oregon as TOPOFF 4 and Operation Vigilant Shield begin. From October 15th-25th the U.S. Government and military will be holding the largest ‘exercise’ in the nations history. It is designed to simulate a series of nuclear or ‘dirty bomb’ detonations in the area and will involve more than 15,000 people taking part in the response teams.

It is absolutely imperative that we all pay attention to this because this could be the next ‘false-flag’ operation the Bush Administration and the Powers That Be are waiting for. With President Bush’s recent Presidential Directive NSPD 51, the stage is set for him to declare total martial law and even suspend the 2008 Presidential Elections if he so chooses. Bush and Cheney could be just one ‘false-flag’ away from seizing complete power over the people if things in Portland this week turn real.

Of course we are all aware of similar ‘false-flag’ events that have occurred in the past to bring about the Administrations plans, including 9/11 and 7/7 in London, which is why, with this being the largest ‘exercise’ in history, it is important to keep an eye on it because there is a very real chance that this could turn ugly in a hurry.

The OTA (Oregon Truth Alliance) have been staging a major media awareness campaign to try and stop the exercise from happening but of course it has been to no avail. The government is going to go through with this thing whether the people like it or not and that, perhaps, is the most scary thing of all. No longer is this a government that listens to the people, it hasn’t been for a long time actually, but rather a government that just wants to seize control of the people by any means necessary. If it means destroying parts of its own country than so be it.

North American Union alert!

Mexico’s former president, Vicente Fox, made an astounding admission last night on CNN’s Larry King Live when he acknowledged the plan for a NAFTA single currency, a “euro-dollar” as King labeled it.

 This was reported by www.Prisonplanet.com today.  Also reported by prisonplanet was the intention of our nation’s leaders to purposely drive down the dollar.  Capitalism pretends that inflation and trade are just a matter of market forces that come and go.   

 We are seeing just as much of a command economy being played out before our eyes as any communist nation.  The inflation that Helicopter “drop money from the sky” Ben Bernanke is inflicting is a good example of a command economy.  Most of our corporations would not exist for one moment if it wasn’t for government bailouts and subsidies.  It is done under the guise of the free market while all the time conforming that Capital Rules.  This is capitalism in the real world; free market fantasies with a welfare state for the rich.  Under the current model there is no more respect for private property than under a classic communism, as corporations are now free to exercise eminent domain to build superhighways that will carry Mexican trucks, driving for below minmum wage and not conforming to Federal safety standards, and undercutting American jobs and taking American land in the process.   On the other hand, giving everyone free health care, child care and education would not be that difficult and would not mean more taxes.  All these things could be done quite easily for a fraction of the cost we spend every year for defense and black budgets so we can stip property rights of people in other countries, weather in Colombia, Haiti, Panama or Iraq, and subvert their substistive and sustainable economies with agrobusiness.  Very often American food companies will take losses just to be able to floodthird world countries with cheep subsidies, forcing them in turn to buy our GM seeds and plant only certain crops (like soya) allocated for them by executive board members.  This is not the free-market although the trade deals like NAFTA and CAFTA and GATT use capitalist rhetoric.  It is a command economy that is willing to send men and women to war in order to maintain its hegemony.  The drive to make a single North American currency is just another step in this direction.  Notice, however, that all this must evolve by stealth because the leaders in Canada, The United States and Mexico know that the majority of their people would be overwhelmingly opposed to such agendas.   Right now there is a lot of foorah over illegal immigration.  It may be good to reflect that the illegal immigration has been a response to NAFTA.  The Mexican people are overwhelmingly opposed to these trade deals, as are the rest of the people in the third world.   That is why the United States had to wage war with central America for fifteen years, in some places like Guatamala even longer, before those countries had leaders in place which would even be willing to look at treaties like CAFTA.  It’s not nationalism to say we don’t want Mexican trucks on our highways, Mexicans don’t want it either.  They are forced to adopt the neo-liberal model.

 Thank you Alex Jones at www.prisonplanet.com for keeping us all up to date on this.  Also thank you Jerome Corsi at www.worldnetdaily.com for being one of the only journalists to consistently cover the plans for a North American Union.

comments from a local activist

A local activist has posted some comments to an earlier post.  I think his observations are important and wanted to highlight them.  Just as a word of clarification though, about the post Our Deepest Fear.   The words are not mine.  They have been attributed to Nelson Mandela because he used them in a speech.  But they are from another activist in South Africa, a woman—whom he heard them from.  thanks Petros.

Thank you Patrick.

It takes a lot of courage to do what you did:

- you opted for transparency, bringing out into the open the efforts you witnessed to smear and attack the reputations of community activists who work on antiwar and 9/11 Truth movement projects. Witnessing this -I use the word with the meaning it has some religious communities, that is to articulate in public – this stuff helps all of us medicinally as an antidote to the poison;

- you opted to expose those who sought to weave you into a web of lies and manipulations. It’s hard – and admirable ! – to risk the wrath of liars and sycophants, but as you said in another entry “As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
http://patricio2ahora.wordpress.com/2007/10/09/our-deepest-fear-2/

- you did “the worst thing possible”, according to some of the forces that dominate the 9/11 Truth movement: you expressed an appreciation of Fidel’s stance on the September 11 events and his entry into the Truth movement. Socialism is *anathema* for many of the right-wing populist and white-supremacy sympathizers who roam the Truth movement using it as a recruiting ground – so they oppose anything good coming from Fidel.

But you’re right. The declarations by Fidel (and those by the Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez) on the complicity of those in power within the US regarding the crimes of 9/11 are very valuable for the progressive and radical community.

Some of the “Left Gatekeepers” who keep the Left in denial about the issue might be softened, perhaps even change their minds about this section of the liberation movement, if they could see or hear Fidel’s concerns.

Thank you, both for your courage and for your insight.

clarification about Islam

300 Islamic scholars from every sect of Islam recently wrote a paper which was submitted to Christian scholars and the Vatican.  They said, “We are not against Christianity,” and highlighted passages in the Bible and the Koran which were similar.  They pleaded with these Christian leaders and scholars to tell their people not to invade Muslim land and drive Muslim’s off their home.  They said, “We are not against you.”  They said that Christianity was a good religion.

 If real Islamic terrorism exists, it was a creation of the CIA and only a fringe part of Islamic history.  Many people, however, feel comfort in a Manichean worldview which pits us against themin a class of civilizations that has only good guys and bad guys with nothing inbetween.  This statement by the 300 Muslim scholars, though, should be seen as the authentic voice of Islam, or the real Islam, on the subject.  Similarly,  the voices of the Late Pope John Paul and Pope Benedict against the Iraq war and imperialism, along with the official statements of all the mainline Christian denominations, which uniformly condemned the war in Iraq, should be seen as the real voice of Christianity on the subject. 

bogus cell phone calls on 9/11

by David Ray Griffin
Debunking 9/11 Debunking

Early in 2007, Interlink Books published my Debunking 9/11 Debunking: An Answer to Popular Mechanics and Other Defenders of the Official Conspiracy Theory. The stimulus for my writing this book was the appearance in August 2006—just before the fifth anniversary of 9/11—of four publications intended to bolster the official account by debunking the alternative view, according to which 9/11 was an inside job. The most explicit and well-known of these publications was a book by Popular Mechanics entitled Debunking 9/11 Myths.My book’s introduction and conclusion dealt with the irresponsible way the press, including the left-leaning press, has dealt with this issue. One of their failings, I showed, was simply to accept the official reports — especially The 9/11 Commission Report and the report on the World Trade Center put out by the National Institute for Science and Technology (NIST) — as neutral, scientific reports. They thereby ignored the fact that the 9/11 Commission was run by Philip Zelikow, who was virtually a member of the US. Bush administration, and that NIST is an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce and hence of the Bush administration (which has distorted science for political purposes to an unprecedented extent).

The book’s four chapters then demonstrated that none of the documents of August 2006 actually served to debunk the claims of the 9/11 truth movement. The first two chapters dealt with two documents—including a new book by Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, the co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission — that tried, by creating a completely new story, to debunk the claim that the U.S. military’s failure to intercept four hijacked airliners could have occurred only if there had been a stand-down order. I argued that this new story was too inherently implausible, as well as too contradictory of previous statements by the military, to be worthy of belief.

The third chapter dealt with NIST’s reports on the Twin Towers, showing that they are political, not scientific, documents, because they ignore all evidence not consistent with NIST’s theory, such as testimony showing that massive explosions had occurred and that steel had melted—even though the fires could not have gotten even close to the temperature needed to melt steel (which means that there had to have been another source of energy).

The fourth and longest chapter dealt with the Popular Mechanics book, which discusses all the issues (the failures to intercept, the WTC, the Pentagon, and United 93). My critique showed this book to be filled with distortions and outright lies. Although the Popular Mechanics book has been used as the basis for two TV specials intended to bolster the official story—one on the BBC and one on the History Channel in the USA (which is partially owned by the Hearst Corporation, which puts out Popular Mechanics) — the fact that the public is increasingly seeing through this book’s deceptions is shown by recent reviews on Amazon.com.

My book, although it has yet to be reviewed by a single mainstream publication in the United States, has been supported by well-respected political commentators from the left and the right. Howard Zinn wrote: “Considering how the 9-ll tragedy has been used by the Bush administration to propel us into immoral wars again and again, I believe that David Ray Griffin’s provocative questions about 9-ll deserve to be investigated and addressed.” Paul Craig Roberts, who was the assistant secretary of the US Treasury during the Reagan administration, wrote: “Professor Griffin is the nemesis of the 9/11 cover-up. This new book destroys the credibility of the NIST and Popular Mechanics reports and annihilates his critics.”

My book was even endorsed by a former senior official of the CIA, Bill Christison, who had for the first five years after 9/11, he admitted, studiously avoided looking at the evidence that it might have been an inside job. He called my book “a superb compendium of the strong body of evidence showing the official US government story of what happened on September 11, 2001 to be almost certainly a monstrous series of lies.”

Book reviewers in mainstream publications were evidently not moved even by Publishers Weekly. Although it had dismissed my first two books about 9/11 as “ridiculous” and “pure speculation,” it said of Debunking 9/11 Debunking: “All but the most dogmatic readers will find Griffin’s evidence — from the inconsistencies between NORAD tapes and the 9/11 Commission Report to rigorous exploration into the physics of the collapse–detailed and deeply unnerving.”

Another source widely used to determine whether a book is worthy of review is Choice, put out by the American Library Association. It has recently spoken, saying: “Griffin exhibits exceptional skill in detailed scholarly analysis. He concludes with a call to the reader, and all of us, to bring these issues into full public discussion and to expose the truth about 9/11, whatever it may be. Indeed, such ‘truth’ has certainly not yet been revealed due to extensive gaps and contradictions in official theories that he documents in detail.” Whether this endorsement will lead to any reviews remains to be seen.

In any case, I was motivated to put out the Revised and Updated Edition primarily because of new information about the alleged phone calls from passengers on the flights to relatives, through which reports of hijackers on the airplanes reached the public.

In the first edition, I presented extensive evidence that reported cell phone calls from the airliners, including the approximately 10 reported cell phone calls from United 93 (which crashed in Pennsylvania), could not have occurred, because the cell phone technology at the time did not allow calls to be made from airliners flying at a high altitude (Flight 93 was at 34,300 to 40,700 feet when the calls were reportedly made). I argued not that the relatives of the passengers had lied about receiving the calls but that they had been duped—by means of voice morphing, which is now perfected to the point that, advertisers brag, you can fool your spouse.

Even after my book appeared, Popular Mechanics continued to claim, on the basis of very weak evidence, that high-altitude cell phone calls were indeed possible (see the History Channel special, “9/11 Conspiracies: Fact or Fiction”). However, as I reported in the Revised and Updated Edition of my book, the FBI had in 2006 presented, as evidence in the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui (sometimes called “the 20th hijacker”), a report on phone calls from the four airliners. According to this report, there were only two cell phone calls from United 93, and they were made at 9:58, shortly before the plane crashed, when it was down to 5,000 feet. When the FBI had to present evidence in a court of law, therefore, it would not claim that any high-altitude cell phone calls had occurred. (These two low-altitude calls from Flight 93 were, according to the FBI report, the only two cell phone calls made from all four flights).

The most well known of the reported cell phone calls from Flight 93 were four calls that Deena Burnett reported receiving from her husband, Tom Burnett. She knew that he had used his cell phone, she reported on several TV shows and later in her book, because she saw his Caller ID number. However, as I reported, there are now devices, such as “FoneFaker,” that will produce the person’s Caller ID as well as his or her voice. Deena Burnett and the others, I believe, were not lying; they were duped.

The most famous of the reported calls from the flights supposedly came from Barbara Olson, the well-known commentator on CNN who was married to Ted Olson, who was then the US solicitor general. Olson reported that his wife had called him twice from American Airlines Flight 77, stating that hijackers with knives and boxcutters had taken over the plane. Besides providing evidence of hijackers, this call also provided the only evidence that Flight 77 was still aloft (it had disappeared from radar and there had been reports of an airliner crash nearby). Although Olson went back and forth on the question of whether his wife had used a cell phone or an onboard phone, he finally settled on the latter.

In the first edition, I challenged this claim on the basis of evidence from American Airlines that their Boeing 757 (which is what Flight 77 was) had no onboard phones. After publishing the book, however, I became worried, because of some new evidence, that that statement from American Airlines, made in 2004, had referred only to their 757s at that time — that their 757s in 2001 may well have had onboard phones. So I published a retraction, saying that the claim was uncertain.

That retraction, however, evoked new evidence, including a statement made by American Airlines in 2006 that their 757s in 2001 had had no onboard phones, so that anyone calling out from Flight 77 had needed to use a cell phone. Barbara Olson, therefore, could not have used a passenger-seat phone. That left open, of course, the possibility that Ted Olson was correct when he said that his wife had used her cell phone.

However, the evidence from the Moussaoui trial ruled out this possibility. In its report on AA 77, it listed one attempted call from Barbara Olson, which was “unconnected” and hence lasted “0 seconds.”

This was an astounding discovery. The FBI is part of the Department of Justice. And yet it had undercut the testimony of the DOJ’s former solicitor general, saying in effect that the two calls that he reported had never happened. The implication is that unless Ted Olson had, like Deena Burnett, been duped, he had lied. Although this should have produced front-page headlines, it has thus far not been reported by any mainstream publication.

The Revised and Updated Edition of “Debunking 9/11 Debunking” provides the documentation for these reports from American Airlines and the FBI, which pretty thoroughly undermine the idea that any of the reported calls were genuine: If the cell phone calls were faked, why should we believe that the reported calls from onboard phones were genuine?

This new edition also contains more quotations from former military officers calling the official conspiracy theory impossible.

It also contains a report on Rudy Giuliani’s problematic response to a group of activists who asked him, with camera running, how he knew that the Twin Towers were going to collapse. (He had told Peter Jennings on ABC News on 9/11 itself that he had been warned.) Given the fact that he Giuliani is currently the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, evidence that he had inside information on the collapse of the towers—an event for which there was no historical precedent—should certainly be investigated.

This new edition has garnered some further endorsements. I was especially pleased to get one from former CIA case officer Robert Baer (the author of See No Evil, which inspired the movie Syriana), because he had written a critical review of my first book, The New Pearl Harbor. Having more recently, like Bill Christison, become convinced that 9/11 was an inside job, he wrote: “Until we get a complete, honest, transparent investigation–not one based on ‘confession’ extracted by torture — we will never know what happened on 9/11. David Griffin will never let this go until we get the truth.”

Also, hoping that my new book would be found even more convincing than my earlier ones, I was very pleased to see that John Whitbeck, an international law specialist, had written: “After reading David Ray Griffin’s previous books on the subject, I was over 90% convinced that 9/11 was an inside job. Now, after reading Debunking 9/11 Debunking, I am, I regret to say, 100% convinced.”

The implications of this conclusion are, of course, enormous. But will you see the evidence for this conclusion discussed in the mainstream press? Don’t hold your breath.

War Games in Portland next week

Given the propensity, in the past, for things like this to run amuck and turn deadly, it would be remiss of me not to post about this.  This is the second batch of war games to hit our friendly city this year.  My biggest problem is that it is being kept under wraps and the people of Portland are not being told.   The people that did try to alert the local media were then ridiculed after the fact when nothing sinister occured.  But it is like playing terror drill roulette.  Covert forces, not loyal to the constitution, use war games and terror drills as a cover when they plan to carry out a real terrorist attack.  Does that mean that there is necessarily always something sinister afoot when war games are conducted?  Absolutely not.  Plenty of war games are “benign”.  But it behooves citizens to be watchful and, as Thomas Jefferson wrote, I don’t remember the quote exactly, to be the “consience of government”—or words to that effect.

The TOPOFF 4 Exercise “Top Officials 4” is the nation’s fourth major exercise in emergency preparedness. Using resources that Congress made available to prepare for acts of terrorism, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security sponsors the TOPOFF exercises as part of a thorough assessment of America’s ability to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from an attack that involves aweapon of mass destruction. Each TOPOFF exercise involves a two-year cycle of seminars,planning events, and exercises. The exercises enable federal, state and local agencies to identifyways to improve their ability to save lives and protect property when any major public emergencyoccurs, regardless of whether that emergency is natural or manmade. TOPOFF 4 will involve more than 15,000 participants from federal, state, territorial, and localgovernments, as well as private-sector organizations and non-governmental organizations. Inaddition to Oregon, the state of Arizona and the U.S. Territory of Guam will participate. This isthe first time a U.S. territory will take part in a TOPOFF exercise. Guam’s involvement will enable all participants to practice coordinated activities in prevention and response among the continental U.S. and a U.S. territory. Three international partners–Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom–will also conduct related exercises. 

From October 15-19, Oregon will test the ability of state and local governments to prevent,respond to and recover from an attack that uses a radiological dispersal device (RDD), commonlycalled a “dirty bomb.” Portland will host the exercise, which is one of the largest civilian exercises ever conducted. Three local governments will take part directly in the exercise, including the city of Portland, Multnomah County, and Columbia County, while at least threeother county governments will be indirectly involved, including Washington County and Clackamas County in Oregon, and Clark County in Washington State. This full-scale exercise will give state and local emergency management and response agenciesthe opportunity to test plans, procedures and equipment, while focusing on the followingcapabilities: evacuation/shelter-in-place, mass care, mass prophylaxis and communications. State and local participants will also benefit from close interaction with the federal government,voluntary organizations, international partners and the private sector. The exercise will address issues in public policy and strategy, including mobilization of systemsthat prevent disasters, as well as those that respond to disasters when they occur. The exercise will require participants to make difficult decisions and carry out essential functions. It will challenge their ability to maintain a common, coordinated response to an incident of nationalsignificance. Agencies and organizations will deploy staff into the field, just as they would in a real-worldsituation. They will face realistic challenges that relate specifically to the incident at hand,including allocation of limited resources and effective management in changing conditions. Planning and preparation for the exercise will help strengthen working relationships among departments and agencies at every level of government toward preventing such emergencies and responding to them effectively if they should ever occur.

 I’d like to introduce you to the butcher of 9/11: Rudolph Guiliani, who is now running for President.  Rudolph Hess was a nice guy compared with this thug; so nice the Truman administration brought him over here to “help out” after the war.  Some people ask how 9/11 truth matters.  Well, here you go.  The butcher is running for President and yet 9/11 truth could really damage his campain and help Ron Paul (who I am now officially supporting).  The former mayor of New York really slipped up when he told Peter Jennings, on national telivision, that he got out of the buildings in a hurry when he got the word they were going to go.  What about the three hundred firefighters who remained in the buildings?  They didn’t think there was any danger because they knew that fires don’t make buildings collapse.  But those three hundred firefighters could have benifted from the butcher’s prescience.

Alex Jones is going to have a new film out very soon called End Game about eugenics.  I have a link to Alex’s site on my blogroll.  Alex Jones is amazing.  By supporting Alex Jones, and telling others about him, we undermine everything the globalists are trying to do by hyperinflation, war and world government. 

This is the reply to my suggestion, posted yesterday, that the opportunity be seized upon the integrate Fidel Castro into the 9/11 movement.  The answer is from the international coordinator at www.9/11truth.org 

Thanks, Patrick – have passed your thoughtful suggestion to the
steering committee and we will discuss it next week. Given the high
levels of intuitive support the movement is receiving from the
Hispanic community, it’s just a damn shame we don’t have Griffin’s
work or other resources translated into Spanish yet. Any suggestions
on that front would be helpful, too.

gratzi,

More about 9/11 (and Oklahoma City)

An acquiantance of mine recently returned from a 9/11 truth conference in Canada.  It was there that he met an American physician.  This is what the physician told him.  “A patient came to me with rashes on his arm.  He asked me to treat him but wouldn’t tell me where he got the rashes from.  I said, ‘I’m not going to treat you unless you tell me how you got these rashes.’  The man replied, “I was part of the team that laid the mini-nukes in the Federal Murah building in Oklahoma city.’

I was skeptical when I first head Alex Jones talking about how this too was a controlled demolition.  Then I learned some facts.  Timothy Macveigh did indeed plant a fertilizer bomb.  Terry Nichols, in prison, has signed an affidavit saying that FBI agents had infiltrated their extreme right-wing group.  Moreover, a fertilizer bomb doesn’t create the crater that was left after the entire skyscraper disintegrated into dust.  There is no video footage of the collapse of the building.  And all the remains of the building are locked up and guarded, all the time, by armed guards.  Macveigh knew what he was doing, but he was a patsy and somebody piggybacked a much larger plot onto his.

I dearly hope Hillary Clinton gets elected.  Anyone would be better than the Republic Front Runner Rudi Guiliani, who is known as the butcher of 9/11.  He has made statements pretty much confessing to foreknowledge that he knew when the towers were going to collapse so he has the blood of 300 fire-fighters on his hands.

 If you are a newcomer to 9/11.  Here is a list of some facts.  I’ve taken it from www.911proof.com

WAR GAMES ON SEPTEMBER 11TH

On the very morning of 9/11/01, five war games and terror drills were being conducted by several U.S. defense agencies, including one “live fly” exercise using REAL planes. Then-Acting Head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force General Richard B. Myers, admitted to 4 of the war games in congressional testimony — see transcript here or video here (6 minutes and 12 seconds into the video).

Norad had run drills for several years of planes being used as weapons against the World Trade Center and other U.S. high-profile buildings, and “numerous types of civilian and military aircraft were used as mock hijacked aircraft”. In other words, drills using REAL AIRCRAFT simulating terrorist attacks crashing jets into buildings, including the twin towers, were run. See also official military website showing 2000 military drill, using miniatures, involving a plane crashing into the Pentagon.

Indeed, a former Los Angeles police department investigator, whose newsletter is read by 45 members of congress, both the house and senate intelligence committees, and professors at more than 40 universities around the world, claims that he obtained an on-the-record confirmation from NORAD that ON 9/11, NORAD and the Joint Chiefs of Staff were conducting a joint, live-fly, hijack exercise which involved government-operated aircraft POSING AS HIJACKED AIRLINERS.

On September 11th, the government also happened to be running a simulation of a plane crashing into a building.

In addition, a December 9, 2001 Toronto Star article (pay-per-view; reprinted here), stated that “Operation Northern Vigilance is called off. Any simulated information, what’s known as an ‘inject,’ is purged from the screens”. This indicates that there were false radar blips inserted onto air traffic controllers’ screens as part of the war game exercises.

Moreover, there are indications that some of the major war games previously scheduled for October 2001 were MOVED UP to September 11th by persons unknown.

Interestingly, Vice President Cheney was apparently in charge of ALL of the war games and coordinated the government’s “response” to the attacks. See this Department of State announcement; this CNN article; and this previously-cited essay.

And while the government has consistently stated that it did not know where the aircraft were before they struck, this short video clip of the Secretary of Transportation’s testimony before the 9/11 Commission shows that Cheney monitored flight 77 for many miles as it approached the Pentagon. How could one of the most heavily-defended buildings in the world have been successfully attacked, when the Vice President of the United States, in charge of counter-terrorism on 9/11, watched it approach from many miles away?

Moreover, a former air traffic controller, who knows the flight corridor which the two planes which hit the Twin Towers flew “like the back of my hand” and who handled two actual hijackings says that that planes can be tracked on radar even when their transponders are turned off, and that Donald Rumsfeld and the Pentagon tracked three of the four flights from the point of their hijacking to hitting their targets (also, listen to this interview).

Additionally, this diagram shows that the hijacked planes flew over numerous military bases on 9/11 before crashing. See also this essay regarding the stand down of the military; and see this war game proposal created before 9/11 revolving around Bin Laden and including “live-fly exercises” involving real planes, later confirmed by this official Department of Defense website.

Which scenario is more likely from a strictly logistical perspective:

(1) An outsider sitting in a cave defeating the air defense system of the sole military superpower; or

(2) Someone like Cheney — who on 9/11 apparently had full control over all defense, war game and counter-terrorism powers — rigging and gaming the system?

Remember that for the attacks to have succeeded, it was necessary that actions be taken in the middle of the war games and the actual attacks which would thwart the normal military response. For example, Cheney watched flight 77 approach the Pentagon from many miles out, but instructed the military to do nothing (as shown in the testimony of the Secretary of Transportation, linked above). Could Bin Laden have done that?

Fighter jets were also sent far off-course over the Atlantic Ocean in the middle of the attacks (testimony of Senator Mark Dayton), so as to neutralize their ability to intercept the hijacked airliners. Could Osama Bin Laden and his sent-from-the-cave band of followers have exercised this degree of control over the military? Obviously not.

And air traffic controllers claim they were still tracking what they thought were hijacked planes long after all 4 of the real planes had crashed. This implies that false radar blips remained on their screens after all 4 planes went down, long after the military claims they purged the phantom war-game-related radar signals. Could Bin Laden have interfered with the full purging of false radar blips inserted as part of the war games? In other words, could Bin Laden have overridden the purging process so that some false blips remained and confused air traffic controllers? The answer is clear.

Therefore, it is statistically much more likely that Cheney and/or other high-level U.S. government and military officials pulled the 9/11 trigger than that Bin Laden did it. At the very least, they took affirmative steps to guarantee that the hijackers’ attacks succeeded.

As discussed previously, a former air force colonel and director of the Star Wars program stated “If our government had merely done nothing, and allowed normal procedures to happen on that morning of 9/11, the twin towers would still be standing, and thousands of dead Americans would still be alive.  [T]hat is treason” 

EXPERTS TALK ABOUT CONTROLLED DEMOLITION

Numerous experts have stated that three World Trade Center buildings were brought down on 9/11 by controlled demolition:  

A prominent physicist with 33 years of service for the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC, said that the official theory for why the Twin Towers and world trade center building 7 collapsed “does not match the available facts” and supports the theory that the buildings were brought down by controlled demolition

A prominent physicist, former U.S. professor of physics from a top university, and a former principal investigator for the U.S. Department of Energy, Division of Advanced Energy Projects, stated that the world trade centers were brought down by controlled demolition

A U.S. physics professor who teaches at several universities believes that the World Trade Centers were brought down by controlled demolition

A professor emeritus of physics and former division chairman from a small community college said “My wife and I, transfixed in front of a TV as the horror of 9/11 unfolded, watched as the topmost, undamaged floors of the WTC South Tower started to gradually lean (rotate) in the direction of the damage due to impact. In an instant, the rotation stopped, and that which was rotating began to fall, as if only under the influence of gravity! The fulcrum was no longer there! I blurted out, “My god, they wired the building.”

An expert on demolition said that the trade centers were brought down with explosives (and see TV interview here; both in Danish)

An architect, member of the American Institute of Architects, who has been a practicing architect for 20 years and has been responsible for the production of construction documents for numerous steel-framed and fire-protected buildings for uses in many different areas, including education, civic, rapid transit and industrial use, has disputed the claim that fire and airplane damage brought down the World Trade Centers and believes there is strong evidence of controlled demolition (see also this video, part 2 here, and part 3 here (other architects who question 9/11 are listed here )

A former guidance systems engineer for Polaris and Trident missiles and professor emeritus, mathematics and computer science at a university concluded that the Twin Towers “were brought down by planted explosives.”

A 13-year professor of metallurgical engineering at a U.S. university, with a PhD in materials engineering, a former Congressional Office of Technology Assessment Senior Staff Member, is calling for a new investigation of 9/11

A professor of mathematics said “The official explanation that I’ve heard doesn’t make sense because it doesn’t explain why I heard and felt an explosion before the South Tower fell and why the concrete was pulverized”

A number of structural engineers have questioned the government’s explanation for the collapse of the Twin Towers .  As just two of many examples, two structural engineers at a prestigious Swiss university said that, on 9/11, World Trade Center 7 was brought down by controlled demolition (translation here )

A Dutch demolition expert stated “I looked at the drawings, the construction and it couldn’t be done by fire. So, no, absolutely not. Building 7 was brought down by controlled demolition. Absolutely.”

A safety engineer and accident analyst for the Finnish National Safety Technology Authority stated regarding WTC 7 that “The great speed of the collapse and the low value of the resistance factor strongly suggest controlled demolition.”

A Danish professor of chemistry said, in a mainstream Danish newspaper, “WTC7 collapsed exactly like a house of cards. If the fires or damage in one corner had played a decisive role, the building would have fallen in that direction. You don’t have to be a woodcutter to grasp this” (translated)

A world-renowned scientist, recipient of the National Medal of Science, America’s highest honor for scientific achievement, said “I suggest that those of us aware and concerned demand that the glaringly erroneous official account of 9/11 be dismissed as a fraud and a new, thorough, and impartial investigation be undertaken.”

A terrorism security expert used by many news organizations asked, after commenting on the “secondary explosions”, “whether in fact there wasn’t something else at the base of the towers that in fact were the coup de grace to bring them to the ground” (keep in mind that a controlled demolition involves the use of explosives both at the base of the building and in higher sections of the building)

Are there too many Alpha wolves to get Fidel Castro to join?

The man who runs the MUJCA orginization is named Kevin Barret.  MUJCA stands for Muslims, Jewish, Christian alliance.  A group of religious people organized to help expose the truth behind 9/11.  Kevin Barret wrote that there are too many Alpha Wolves in the 9/11 truth movement and not enough people to follow orders and carry out work.  I agree.  When I attended the local 9/11 group, before being asked to leave by two of its leaders (they didn’t like who I was involved with politically on the side), I saw the group spend its meeting time bickering and competing for who’s ideas got carried out.  It was a joke.  Members started accusing other members of being secret agents.  Any attempt at real orginization was futile.  On a couple occasions, I was asked to moderate the meetings.  One of the reasons I was asked to leave, aside from working with people they considered “enemy agents”, was that they didn’t like how I moderated one the meeting.   They also started forwarding to my email box gossip that members had written about me and false accusations that they wouldn’t let me refute. But I have seen among the 9/11 truth people, too many Alpha Wolves and this makes for many lost opportunities. There are many people with good ideas, but not many people willing to carry them out and work under an organizer.  Let’s hope the Fidel Castro opportunity is not lost.  Here is a copy of an email I sent to a well respected organizer in the movement.

“Now that Fidel Castro has come out strongly in support of 9/11 truth, further than any
world leader has yet gone, in his 4,500 word op-ed, would it not behoove
people within the 9/11 movement to try to contact him and get him integrated into what we
are doing.  For example, just having a world leader endorse a Griffin book would be a
victory.  Has anyone thought of having Fidel Castro endorse a piece of 9/11 media?

It seems that every effort should be made to get Fidel Castro integrated into the 9/11
truth movement because he offers VISIBILITY, VISIBILITY, VISIBILITY!!  I have a friend
from Cuba.  He is an educated man.  He knows people who would know how to contact the
Cuban leadership.  So this is not impossible.  But it should be coordinated by serious
people within the truth movement who already have some idea about what role Castro could
potentially play.  Time is short.”

 I have seen victories, however. 

About a month ago I emailed a well-respected radio talk show host about John Perkins.  I told him that he really should consider having this man on his program.  I said that his books Confessions of an Economic Hit Man and The Secret History of the American Empire were really first-rate.  There is a link to John Perkins on my blogroll.  The talk-show host promptly emailed me back and said he was going to look into those titles.  About a month later John Perkins is on the show for three hours and the talk show host praised him, saying he had been reading The Secret History and enjoying it.  Unfortunately I missed the first two hours of the interview, but had the surprise of my life when I turned the radio on in the middle of the night and heard John Perkins’ familiar voice.  (John Perkins had his life threatened before writing the books, as well as bribes given, which made him lay-low for a while before publishing them.  In his case about fifteen years.)  The point is that opportunities exist.  But it takes people willing to work with others and an understanding of integration and what is appropriate for the moment.  It is something that the Portland 9/11 Truth Group (whatever they are calling themselves now) has yet to learn.  I consider this one act, of emailing the talk-show host, a small thing.  Anyone could have done it.  But it had huge repercussions.  The show to which I allude is heard every night by anywhere between 8 million and 13 million people.  Lord Limbaugh is the only radio show with higher ratings.  But the radio show which John Perkins was on is heard all over the world.

soy causes homosexuality

This article on the dangers of soy is in five parts.  Even if men do not develop effeminate tendencies as a result of eating soy, as this article suggests, I would like to suggest that it can make them develop right-wing tendencies and, because they are taking in feminine energy—in the form of estrogen, cause these men to have an over-reactive aversion to anything, often wrongly, perceived as feminine and/or feminist.  In such cases, the dislike of women these men have as a result of eating soy, causes them to label normal things as feminist.  This is known as projection.  Because these troubled men are eating food which simulates and stimulates estrogen, they go overboard trying to strip away from around themselves anything external that they think, again often mistakenly, is feminist.  In them causes them to vote against their better interest.  They think they are voting for “the Daddy party” when they support republican candidates when, in fact, this party has been responsible for destroying the middle-class for the last twenty-seven years by shipping manufactoring jobs overseas .  Therefore, right-wing tendencies, should be viewed as a result of pathology, as well as lack of education, rather than a difference in ideology.  No doubt the writer of this article would disagree with me.  But that’s maybe just because it’s a right-wing website that publishes his material.  On the other hand, true conservatives like Ron Paul, Alex Jones, Jim Marrs and Jerome Corsi are really doing a great thing to expose how the television pundits and radio talk-show hosts are, in reality, very far from a philosophical position that remotely resembles traditional American conservatism.  These men are also more vigilent than the left on such issues as The North American Union, Illuminism and the proposed NAFTA superhighway.  These men show how the naratives put forth on television, which average people are slaves to, do not allow any debate outside a very narrow and rigid ideological framework, all the time giving the appearance of debate and the appearance of dissent.  When Bill O’Reily takes to task The New York Times for media bias, for example.  Well who cares.  In European media, there is something that is considered far worse than media bias: not telling the truth and not reporting the important stories.  In our narrow political framework, the disagreements between politicians are more like battles between rival mofia dons.  They may kill each other, but the underlying assumptions remain the same.

The trouble with soy – part 5

reading Augustine in a hall of mirrors

     Modern applications of just-war theory generally fail to recognize the “hidden” cultural forces which, because they are amplified by mass media, easily distort public perception of political reality.  Applying ‘Augustinian’ (or other) just-war criteria to any modern political situation without taking such distortion into account amounts to reading Augustine in a hall of mirrors, where much of the symmetry between pirates and super-powers is skewed beyond recognition.  Failure to apply a hermeneutic of this order to just-war theory risks allowing it to be subverted by right-wing apologists in order to justify what are essentially crusades.

The quotation is from Robert Dodero’s “Pirates or Superpowers: Reading Augustine in a Hall or Mirrors”

Fidel Castro joines 9/11 truth movement!

Fidel Castro has joined the 9/11 truth movement. In a 4,000 word editorial, published in the Havana newspapers last month and then read on Cuban telivision, the elderly Cuban leader accused the Bush administration of orchestrating the attacks of 9/11. He said that a rocket entered the Pentagon and that the twin towers had been bombed. He said that the whole world, including Cuba, had been deceived into thinking that the attacks were from external terrorists. He said that the truth about the attacks will probably never be known. Liberal magazines in the United States, like The Nation, and liberal newspapers in England, like the Guardian, were quick to redicule the remarks. Both these publications accused the Cuban leader of being unstable and believing conspiracy theories. Because of this I have only a cursury understanding of what Fidel wrote. I have tried to find an English version of the piece. I consider this major news and would love to read it, but so far no luck.

The American media has for fifty years constantly accused Cuba of not having a free-press. And yet this should be major news and yet in these screeds written against Fidel Castro in the liberal media, establishment papers like the New York Times and Time Magazine didn’t even touch the story, probably because of all the CIA agents that are working for those orginizations as part of the Operation Mockingbird. While totally ignoring Castro’s arguments, the editors of The Guardian and The Nation resorted instead to ad-hominem attacks. There are not even any quotations from his oped. How is that good journalism? To not even include quotations from his article, they insure that the American and British public do not know the truth. In fact, Americans, with their “free-press”, are hard put to find anything about Cuba. If Americans knew more about Cuba, they would probably all want to move there and think Fidel Castro was a great leader and so the truth about Cuba has to be repressed. For example, how many Americans know that Cuba/Americans can go to jail just for sending money to their family on the island? Or what about the fact that the United States cut all the phone lines to the Island and have maintained a blockade for 50 years. The Cuban Missle Crisis has entered the realm of legend for most Americans where the real event of history are not even known except among readers of dissedent literature. (As a side not: it’s interesting, the amount of people who read dissedent literature here is incomparably small compared to other countries, even other dictatorships). How many people know that five cubans government officials are now serving solitary confinement for life and never had a trial. Their crime: flying to Miami to inform the US government about Cuban-exile terrorist groups living in the United States. They had lists and names. People like Jose Posada who bombed the airplane of the Cuban Olypmic Team in 1973 and has been living comfortably in an American apartment after the CIA helped him escape from jail in Venezuala. The five officials serving life prison terms cannot even receive visits from their wife. They are called “The Cuban five” and everyone south of the border knows who they are, virtually no one here does. It’s easy to go on. God bless Fidel Castro for coming out about 9/11. Fidel Casto isn’t perfect, but his mistakes (like, in the past, becoming to Cosy with the Soniet Union) have in a large part been a reacton against American policy. Thankfully Cuba has a press that will cover 9/11. Unlike ours, where journalists like Rosi O’Donell are censored and told to shut-up about 9/11 or lose their jobs.

Now that Fidel Castro has joined the 9/11 truth movement, he is among world leaders, like Chavez and like Ahmidinijad, have questioned the official account.  But Castro has gone much further than Chavez or Ahmidinijad, much much further.  World leaders endorsing our cause gives the movement visibility in a way that nobody else can.  The movement should leap on this opportunity before Castro passes and try to get him more integrated into everything we are doing, maybe by endorsing a work.  It is a great opportunity, but one that may go unnoticed. 

linguistics post #4: propoganda

Although some of linguistics is very old, such as the international phonetic alphabet, and dating back hundreds of years (for a long time it was called philology but it means the same thing), some subfields of linguistics are relatively young.  An example of one of these subfields would be cognative linguistics, also sometimes called neural linguistics.  One of the pioneers of the field is a man from California named George Lekoff.  He has turned his attention to debunking propoganda and understanding how political parties use metaphors to cause people, particularly men, to vote against there better interests.  Republicans have convinced ordinary Americans that if they elect them then these ordinary people will get to keep more of there money and not paying taxes.  Twenty-seven years after Reagon we should look around and see that the middle class is being destroyed for precisely this reason and it was all a lie.  Since Nixon, Republan strategists, who thought in long term’s—30 years ahead, according to some horiffic memo’s that have been leaked; they have been very successful at convincing men that the government is the bad guy.  But to quote Chomsky, another great linguists, ”The government is a buffer between the public and private power (corporations).  But it has one defect: it is potentially democratic and therefore it has to be squashed.”  That’s why we have people in government who don’t believe in government, some, like Grover Norquist, who even say there desire is to “drown government in the bathtup.”  These same elites have also convinced Americans that labor unions are bad, with propoganda films like Marlon Brando On The Water Front and huge anti-union advertizing offennsives.   Lekoff’s work on propoganda, like Chomsky’s on the same subject,  is simply breathtaking.  I have had a chance to hear him speak on the radio as well as perusing his books.  Much of his time is spent debunking the ideology of James Dobson.  He has team of linguists who are committed to this enterprise.  What?  It sounds far fetched, right?  Lekoff could be called Dobson’s nemesis.  It makes sense, though.  In books like Moral Politics, Lekoff is working on the basis of conceptual metaphors.  Political strategists use patriarchal concepts to snare innocent voters who then feel strong psychological pulls to vote against there better interests in favor of these authoritatian paradimes.  It is called Framing The Debate.  This was a title of one of his talks which can be ordered for 15 dollars by going to www.alternativeradio.org  I think it should be said, though, that although I find his research fascinating and compelling and think everyone should be aware of this luminary, I do not agree with all his assesments.  The Cosby family is his ideal family and his views on abortion, I feel, should be changed.  I don’t think there is anything wrong with tradtional gender roles.  A strict father, intrinsically, could also be a nurtuting one, as we see in many Jane Austen novels.  George Lakoff uses “the strict father metaphor” to explain pretty much everything from taxes to invading other countries.  Even he admits that there are many variations and overlaps.  So having a traditional gender mindset is natural.   I might have less of a problem with it than him.  What is wrong,  however, is when these classes are used cunningly to do evil.  And as in the case of the Iraq war, inflation and destroying the middle class by shipping jobs overseas, these are indeed evils and the language that is used to make these evil enterprises successful needs to be unpacked and exposed.  I think his anaylsis is basically correct. 

Because of my busy schedule, I am not able to re-read much of what I post.  I realize that it is haphazard.  These should really be considered just notes.  Someday I hope to write more in depth on these subjects.

bridge collapse conspiracy

I took this off the news site www.whatdoesitmean.com. I don’t necessarily prescribe to the view that the bridge was brought down in a controlled way because I haven’t researched it enough, but this evidence needs to be known. We are entering a very dangerous period of American history where anything is possible and our silence and lack of questions is actually very dangerous. I’m toying with the idea of posting some of Admiral Bird’s journals. He led an official exploration of the North Pole and flew inside a hollow earth and found an advanced, and temperate, civilization after which was formed the National Security Agency. This is not science fiction or somebody’s opinion. This is the journals of an American Military Officer telling what he saw. There are other first-hand accounts as well. As global warming melts the ice in the arctic and makes sailing more accessable, it is very possible we will be hearing more about this sort of thing.

Massive ULF ‘Blast’ Detected In US Bridge Collapse Catastrophe

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

Reports from Russia’s Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics located in Irkutsk are reporting today that their Siberian Solar Radio Telescope (SSRT) detected a ‘massive’ ultra low frequency (ULF) ‘blast’ emanating from Latitude: 45° 00′ North Longitude: 93° 15′ West at the ‘exact’ moment, and location, of a catastrophic collapse of a nearly 2,000 foot long bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

To the horrific destruction of the Interstate 35W Bridge which spanned the Mississippi River we can read as reported by the Star Tribune News Service:

“The 1,907-foot bridge fell into the Mississippi River and onto roadways below. The span was packed with rush hour traffic, and dozens of vehicles fell with the bridge leaving scores of dazed commuters scrambling for their lives.

Nine people were confirmed dead as of 4 a.m. today. Sixty were taken to hospitals and 20 people were still missing this morning. Authorities said they expected the death toll to rise.”

Russian Military reports state that the total collapse of such a massive bridge, and in the absence of evidence linking its destruction to terrorist activity, could only have been accomplished by an acoustic weapon, of which the United States Military is known to possess.

These reports further state that one of the United States primary research organizations into acoustic weapons research is Augsburg College, and which is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and most importantly less than 1 mile from the Interstate 35W Bridge collapse.

To the exact reason of why, and what exactly happened in this catastrophe we can only speculate, but, with what is known about the United States past history of using sophisticated weapons on their own citizens for ‘research’ purposes it certainly lies in the realm of possibility that this horrific tragedy is rooted in the use of ULF weapons.

To the past usage of these new types of weapons we can read even back into the 1980’s of the United States research into their use as reported by the CNN News Service:

“Imagine the implications of a weapon with no visible trace — a weapon that could knock out tanks, ships, and planes as fast as the speed of light. The same technology, with modifications, could disorient and even tranquilize military personnel, rendering them virtually helpless in the battle zone. These are the new weapons of war we will examine in this series.

For the past 40 years, the world has been riveted by the threat of nuclear war, and more recently by the prospect of space defenses using lasers and other modern technologies.

Lightning is the most dramatic form of energy to be found in nature. Scientists have succeeded in creating limited types of artificial lightning. And some think that these could be the forerunners of a new type of directed-energy weapon, part of a family of weapons that operate within the radio frequency segment of the electromagnetic spectrum, and are thus referred to as radio frequency weapons.”

To the dangers of ULF weapons being used against civilians we can read the warnings of Dr. Rauni Leena Kilde, MD, the former Chief Medical Officer for Lapland (northern Finland), who warned in 1999:

“When the use of electromagnetic fields, extra-low (ELF) and ultra-low (ULF) frequencies and microwaves aimed deliberately at certain individuals, groups, and even the general population to cause diseases, disorientation, chaos and physical and emotional pain breaks into the awareness of the general population, a public outcry is inevitable.”

To the exact reason of why the United States would be targeting Minneapolis with such a massive ULF ‘blast’ we can find in the exact neighborhoods that surround the Interstate 35W Bridge, and which are home to one of the largest Muslim populations in the United States, including over 30,000 Somalis who are outraged by the US sponsored invasion of their home Nation by Ethiopian forces.

For the American people as a whole, this catastrophe provides yet another example of the consequences of their allowing their Military Forces to gain total control over their economy and lives, and which history has long shown leads always towards total destruction.

9/11: moral imperative (spread the word)

 

the following list is from Jim Marrs book Inside Job.

• A wide variety of standard defense mechanisms designed to prevent such an attack systematically failed on 9/11. Especially notable are the atypical failures which occurred simultaneously within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the National Military Command Center (NMCC), and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), all charged with protecting US airspace.

• Interceptor jets were not scrambled for more than thirty minutes after it was obvious that four airliners had gone off course and were presumably hijacked. In the case of Flight 77, which reportedly slammed into the Pentagon, an hour and forty-five minutes elapsed with no interception.

• Missile batteries designed to protect Washington, DC, failed to stop the strike on the Pentagon, one of the world’s most protected structures, and fighter jets on constant alert at Andrews Air Force Base just twelve miles away were never scrambled.

• By a “bizarre coincidence,” two government homeland defense agencies (NORAD and the NRO) were practicing war games on the morning of 9/11. The games simulated responses to a scenario in which hijacked planes were crashed into buildings. This fact could explain the government’s lack of rapid response to the real hijackings, yet this plausible alibi has never been brought to public attention. One also wonders: How did the hijackers know the time and date of these war games in order to time their attacks to coincide with them?

• President Bush proceeded with a photo op at a Florida elementary school even after he and his aides knew that three planes had been hijacked. He lingered in the classroom for nearly twenty minutes after being informed that a second plane had struck the World Trade Center (WTC).

• Not one steel-framed high-rise building in history has collapsed solely due to fire. The free-fall speed collapse of the Trade Center towers, with attendant melted steel and powdery dust, exhibited all the characteristics of a controlled demolition.

• Just such a controlled demolition apparently occurred about 5 p.m. that same day when, according to the leaseholder of the WTC complex, the 47-story Building 7 was “pulled,” i.e., intentionally demolished.

• Vital evidence, including the buildings’ structural steel, was destroyed through rapid removal and destruction by US government officials with no investigation. This is only one of the many reasons why Fire Engineering magazine called the official investigation “a half-baked farce.”

• An eight-mile-long debris trail indicated that Flight 93 was destroyed in the air rather than in the Pennsylvania crash reportedly caused by an onboard struggle between the hijackers and passengers.

• More than a dozen countries firmly warned US authorities that an attack on American soil was imminent, some only days before the events.

• Strong evidence points to complicity in the attacks by senior intelligence operatives from Israel and Pakistan who are closely aligned with American intelligence agencies.

• A classified Congressional report incriminates senior officials in the Saudi Arabian government, showing that they had close ties to the hijackers. The Saudis enjoy long-term business and social ties to the Bush family and close political ties to the US government.

• The US government expedited the swift departure of over 100 Saudis from the country, even as the American public had been denied the right to fly. Two dozen members of bin Laden’s own family, presumably potential witnesses, were allowed to leave the country without interrogation.

• Insiders with foreknowledge of the events to come engaged in massive and highly profitable short-selling of shares in American Airlines and United Airlines, as well as other stocks readily affected by the disaster. The public has still not been presented with the final results of official investigations into these transactions-if there are any.

• A growing number of whistleblowers from within the federal government have pointed to evidence that various agencies were well aware of the possibility of attack, and were prevented by seniors officials from mounting full investigations.

• Far from being a mere reaction to 9/11, evidence now proves that the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq were the culmination of long-standing plans which only awaited a provocation such as 9/11.

• The official explanations for the invasion of Iraq, such as the need to capture weapons of mass destruction, and to “bring democracy” to the country, have proven false.

• Within a few hours, the FBI released names and photos of the suspected hijackers although later many of those named turned up alive in the Middle East.

• Also within hours of the attacks, FBI agents were scouring the houses, restaurants, and flight schools they frequented. If no one had foreknowledge of the hijackers or their activities, how did they know where to look?

• Far from ordering a full and objective investigation to determine who was responsible for the 9/11 tragedies, the Bush administration dragged its feet and actually took actions to impede a swift and truthful probe into the events of that day. It was nearly two years after the events that mounting pressure from the public, led by families of 9/11 victims, finally forced the creation of an “independent” investigatory commission.

• No one in government has been reprimanded or even scolded for what we are told was the greatest intelligence and homeland-defense failure in US history. In fact, the very agencies which failed the nation watched their budgets increase dramatically, and some of the officials ostensibly at fault were actually promoted.

• No person in government, other than former National Security Council counterterrorism chief Richard A. Clarke, has felt the need to apologize to the American people for the 9/11 security failure.

• President Bush himself declined to apologize for the 9/11 tragedy to either the American public or to victims’ families during an April 2004 press conference, despite being presented with the opportunity to do so at least three times.

WAR GAMES ON SEPTEMBER 11TH On the very morning of 9/11/01, five war games and terror drills were being conducted by several U.S. defense agencies, including one “live fly” exercise using REAL planes. Then-Acting Head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force General Richard B. Myers, admitted to 4 of the war games in congressional testimony — see transcript here or video here (6 minutes and 12 seconds into the video). Norad had run drills for several years of planes being used as weapons against the World Trade Center and other U.S. high-profile buildings, and “numerous types of civilian and military aircraft were used as mock hijacked aircraft”. In other words, drills using REAL AIRCRAFT simulating terrorist attacks crashing jets into buildings, including the twin towers, were run. See also official military website showing 2000 military drill, using miniatures, involving a plane crashing into the Pentagon. Indeed, a former Los Angeles police department investigator, whose newsletter is read by 45 members of congress, both the house and senate intelligence committees, and professors at more than 40 universities around the world, claims that he obtained an on-the-record confirmation from NORAD that ON 9/11, NORAD and the Joint Chiefs of Staff were conducting a joint, live-fly, hijack exercise which involved government-operated aircraft POSING AS HIJACKED AIRLINERS. On September 11th, the government also happened to be running a simulation of a plane crashing into a building. In addition, a December 9, 2001 Toronto Star article (pay-per-view; reprinted here), stated that “Operation Northern Vigilance is called off. Any simulated information, what’s known as an ‘inject,’ is purged from the screens”. This indicates that there were false radar blips inserted onto air traffic controllers’ screens as part of the war game exercises. Moreover, there are indications that some of the major war games previously scheduled for October 2001 were MOVED UP to September 11th by persons unknown. Interestingly, Vice President Cheney was apparently in charge of ALL of the war games and coordinated the government’s “response” to the attacks. See this Department of State announcement; this CNN article; and this previously-cited essay. And while the government has consistently stated that it did not know where the aircraft were before they struck, this short video clip of the Secretary of Transportation’s testimony before the 9/11 Commission shows that Cheney monitored flight 77 for many miles as it approached the Pentagon. How could one of the most heavily-defended buildings in the world have been successfully attacked, when the Vice President of the United States, in charge of counter-terrorism on 9/11, watched it approach from many miles away? Moreover, a former air traffic controller, who knows the flight corridor which the two planes which hit the Twin Towers flew “like the back of my hand” and who handled two actual hijackings says that that planes can be tracked on radar even when their transponders are turned off, and that Donald Rumsfeld and the Pentagon tracked three of the four flights from the point of their hijacking to hitting their targets (also, listen to this interview). Additionally, this diagram shows that the hijacked planes flew over numerous military bases on 9/11 before crashing. See also this essay regarding the stand down of the military; and see this war game proposal created before 9/11 revolving around Bin Laden and including “live-fly exercises” involving real planes, later confirmed by this official Department of Defense website. Which scenario is more likely from a strictly logistical perspective: (1) An outsider sitting in a cave defeating the air defense system of the sole military superpower; or (2) Someone like Cheney — who on 9/11 apparently had full control over all defense, war game and counter-terrorism powers — rigging and gaming the system? Remember that for the attacks to have succeeded, it was necessary that actions be taken in the middle of the war games and the actual attacks which would thwart the normal military response. For example, Cheney watched flight 77 approach the Pentagon from many miles out, but instructed the military to do nothing (as shown in the testimony of the Secretary of Transportation, linked above). Could Bin Laden have done that? Fighter jets were also sent far off-course over the Atlantic Ocean in the middle of the attacks (testimony of Senator Mark Dayton), so as to neutralize their ability to intercept the hijacked airliners. Could Osama Bin Laden and his sent-from-the-cave band of followers have exercised this degree of control over the military? Obviously not. And air traffic controllers claim they were still tracking what they thought were hijacked planes long after all 4 of the real planes had crashed. This implies that false radar blips remained on their screens after all 4 planes went down, long after the military claims they purged the phantom war-game-related radar signals. Could Bin Laden have interfered with the full purging of false radar blips inserted as part of the war games? In other words, could Bin Laden have overridden the purging process so that some false blips remained and confused air traffic controllers? The answer is clear. Therefore, it is statistically much more likely that Cheney and/or other high-level U.S. government and military officials pulled the 9/11 trigger than that Bin Laden did it. At the very least, they took affirmative steps to guarantee that the hijackers’ attacks succeeded. As discussed previously, a former air force colonel and director of the Star Wars program stated “If our government had merely done nothing, and allowed normal procedures to happen on that morning of 9/11, the twin towers would still be standing, and thousands of dead Americans would still be alive.  [T]hat is treason”

PRIOR WARNINGS OF PLANES CRASHING INTO BUILDINGS

The administration’s claim that terrorists crashing planes into buildings was not foreseeable is contradicted by numerous sources:

Initially, the CIA Director had warned congress shortly before 9/11 “that there could be an attack, an imminent attack, on the United States of this nature. So this is not entirely unexpected” according to a broadcast on National Public Radio

And the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee was “not surprised there was an attack (but) was surprised at the specificity . . . . (he was only) shocked at what actually happened — the extent of it”

But let’s go back and look at the facts chronologically:

Initially, the CIA Director had warned congress shortly before 9/11 “that there could be an attack, an imminent attack, on the United States of this nature. So this is not entirely unexpected” according to a broadcast on National Public Radio

And the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee was “not surprised there was an attack . . . .”

But let’s go back and look at the facts chronologically:

According to MSNBC, “There have been a slew of reports over the past decade of plots to use planes to strike American targets”.

In 1994, the government received information that international terrorists “had seriously considered the use of airplanes as a means of carrying out terrorist attacks” (see also this article).

In 1998, U.S. officials received reports concerning a “Bin Laden plot involving aircraft in the New York and Washington, areas.” Officials received reports that al Qaeda was trying to establish an operative cell in the United States and that bin Laden was attempting to recruit a group of five to seven young men from the United States to travel to the Middle East for training in conjunction with his plans to strike U.S. domestic targets. Indeed, the report concluded that “a group of unidentified Arabs planned to fly an explosive-laden plane . . . into the World Trade Center”.

A 1999 report for the National Intelligence Council warned that fanatics loyal to bin Laden might try to hijack a jetliner and fly it into the Pentagon..

Investigators for the Congressional Joint Inquiry discovered that an FBI informant had hosted and even rented a room to two hijackers in 2000 and that, when the Inquiry sought to interview the informant, the FBI refused outright, and then hid him in an unknown location, and that a high-level FBI official stated these blocking maneuvers were undertaken under orders from the White House.

The Pentagon tracked the hijackers before 9/11.

And the U.S. received warnings from numerous foreign intelligence services about planned attacks, many of them quite detailed. Indeed, America’s closest ally apparently tracked the hijackers’ every movement prior to the attacks, and may have sent agents to film the attack on the World Trade Centers.

According to the New York Times, “Foreign [intelligence service] agents had infiltrated
Osama bin Laden’s network and were carefully tracking its moves”, and — in January 2001 — the French intelligence services gave a report to the CIA entitled “Plan to hijack an aircraft by Islamic radicals”.

There were extraordinarily high terrorist attack threat levels in the summer of 2001, involving threats of attack within the U.S., and the U.S. government knew there were Al-Qaeda cells within the U.S. (or watch the video here).

In July 2001, a briefing prepared for senior government officials warned of “a significant terrorist attack against U.S. and/or Israeli interests in the coming weeks. The attack will be spectacular and designed to inflict mass casualties … (it) will occur with little or no warning.”.

FBI agents recommended to FBI headquarters, in July 2001, an urgent nationwide review of flight schools regarding terrorism, and mentioned Bin Laden by name.

A pre-9/11 National Intelligence Estimate was entitled “Islamic Extremists Learn to Fly”, and was apparently about Islamic people taking classes at U.S. flight schools.

President Bush was told in August 2001 that supporters of Bin Laden planned an attack within the U.S. with explosives and that they wanted to hijack airplanes.

A month before 9/11, the CIA sent a message to the Federal Aviation Administration warning of a possible hijacking “or an act of sabotage against a commercial airliner”.

The August 6, 2001 Presidential Daily Brief was entitled “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US”.

U.S. intelligence officials informed President Bush weeks before the Sept. 11 attacks that Bin Laden’s terrorist network might try to hijack American planes, and that information prompted administration officials to issue a private warning to transportation officials and national security agencies.

It was widely known within the FBI shortly before 9/11 that an imminent attack was planned on lower Manhattan.

An employee who worked in the Twin Towers stated “How could they let this happen? They knew this building was a target. Over the past few weeks we’d been evacuated a number of times, which is unusual. I think they had an inkling something was going on”

And a guard who worked in the world trade center stated that “officials had recently taken steps to secure the towers against aerial attacks”

On September 6, 2001, Condoleezza Rice was warned that a terrorist attack inside the United States was imminent

Also on September 6th, author Salman Rushdie is banned by US authorities from taking internal US flights; the FAA told his publisher the reason was that it had “intelligence of something about to happen”

The former FBI translator who the Department of Justice’s Inspector General, several senators (free subscription required), and a coalition of prominent conservative and liberal groups have claimed is credible says that the government was provided with information about the planned attacks, including the fact that the attacks would be carried out using airplanes, and some information about date ranges and targets. She says that – after 9/11 – the FBI translators were ordered to “keep quiet” regarding this information.

The National Security Agency and the FBI were both independently listening in on the phone calls between the supposed mastermind of the attacks and the lead hijacker. Indeed, the FBI built its own antenna in Madagascar specifically to listen in on the mastermind’s phone calls. The day before 9/11, the mastermind told the lead hijacker “tomorrow is zero hour” and gave final approval for the attacks. The NSA intercepted the message that day and the FBI was likely also monitoring the mastermind’s phone calls. (The NSA claims that it did not translate the intercept until September 12th; however, the above-mentioned FBI translator said that she was frequently ordered to falsify dates of translations regarding 9/11)

Shortly before 9/11, the NSA also intercepted multiple phone calls from Bin Laden’s chief of operations to the United States.

The CIA and the NSA had been intercepting phone calls by the hijackers for years.

Indeed, two days before 9/11, Osama Bin Laden called his stepmother and told her “In two days, you’re going to hear big news and you’re not going to hear from me for a while.” US officials later told CNN that “in recent years they’ve been able to monitor some of bin Laden’s telephone communications with his [step]mother. Bin Laden at the time was using a satellite telephone, and the signals were intercepted and sometimes recorded.” Indeed, before 9/11, to impress important visitors, NSA analysts would occasionally play audio tapes of bin Laden talking to his stepmother.

Newsweek stated “On Sept. 10, NEWSWEEK has learned, a group of top Pentagon officials suddenly canceled travel plans for the next morning, apparently because of security concerns” (pay-per-view; cached version of article here)

Indeed, the military had actually drilled for aerial attacks with planes:

The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), the military air defense agency responsible for protecting the U.S. mainland, had run drills for several years of planes being used as weapons against the World Trade Center and other U.S. high-profile buildings, and “numerous types of civilian and military aircraft were used as mock hijacked aircraft”. In other words, drills using REAL AIRCRAFT simulating terrorist attacks crashing jets into buildings, including the twin towers, were run.

And the military had conducted numerous drills of planes crashing into the Pentagon. For example, see this official military website showing a military drill conducted in 2000 using miniatures; this article concerning a May 2001 exercise of a plane crashing into the Pentagon (see also this article and this one); and this article about yet another drill of a plane hitting the Pentagon from August 2001.

(Indeed, many of the drills appear to have included warning alarms and evacuation of the building.)

The military had also run war games involving multiple, simultaneous hijackings (first paragraph), so this aspect of 9/11 was not as overwhelming as we have been led to believe.

There are literally hundreds of other lines of evidence that prove that the government had substantial foreknowledge concerning the attacks (see this website). A former Lieutenant Colonel for the Air Force and former Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs at the Defense Language Institute summarized the feeling of many when he stated “Of course Bush knew about the impending attacks on America. He did nothing to warn the American people because he needed this war on terrorism.”

Overview of New 9/11 Research (from scholarsfor911truth.org)

1. The impact of the planes cannot have caused enough damage to bring the buildings down, since the buildings were designed to withstand them (as Frank DeMartini, the project manager, has observed), the planes that hit were very similar to those they were designed to withstand, and they continued to stand after those impacts with negligible effects.
2. The melting point of steel at 2,800*F is about 1,000*F higher than the maximum burning temperature of jet-fuel-based fires, which do not exceed 1,800*F under optimal conditions, so the fires cannot have caused the steel to melt, which means that melting steel did not bring the buildings down.
3. UL certified the steel in the buildings up to 2,000*F for three or four hours before it would even significantly weaken, where these fires burned too low and too briefly at an average temperature of around 500*F–about one hour in the South Tower and one and a half in the North–to have even caused the steel to weaken, much less melt.
4. If the steel had melted or weakened, the affected floors would have displayed completely different behavior, with some asymmetrical sagging and tilting, which would have been gradual and slow, not the complete, abrupt, and total demolition that was observed.
5. William Rodriguez, the senior custodian in the North Tower and the last man to leave the building, has reported massive explosions in the subbasements that effected extensive destruction, including the demolition of a 50-ton hydraulic press and ripping the skin off a fellow worker, a report corroborated by the testimony of around three dozen other custodians.
6. Willie reported that the explosion occurred prior to the airplane’s impact, a claim that has now been substantiated in a new study by Craig Furlong and Gordon Ross, “Seismic Proof: 9/11 was an Inside Job”, which demonstrates that these explosions actually took place as much as 14 and 17 seconds prior to the airplanes impacts.
7. Heavy steel construction buildings like the Twin Towers, built with more than 100,000 tons of steel, are not even capable of “pancake collapse”, which normally only occurs with concrete structures of “lift slab” construction and could not occur in “redundant” welded-steel buildings, such as the towers, unless every supporting column were removed at the same time, as Charles Pegelow has pointed out to me.
8. The destruction of the Twin Towers in approximately 10 seconds apiece is even faster than free fall with only air resistance, which would have taken at least 12 seconds, which, as Judy Wood has emphasized, is an astounding result that would have been impossible without extremely powerful explosives.
9. The towers are exploding from the top, not collapsing to the ground, where the floors do not move, a phenomenon that Judy Wood has likened to two gigantic trees turning to sawdust from the top down, which, like the pulverization of the concrete, the official account cannot possibly explain.
10. WTC-7 came down in a classic controlled demolition at 5:20 PM/ET after Larry Silverstein suggested the best thing to do might be to “pull it”, displaying all the characteristics of classic controlled demolitions, including a complete, abrupt, and total collapse into its own footprint, where the floors are all falling at the same time, and so forth, an event so embarrassing to the official account that it is not even mentioned in THE 9/11 COMMISSION REPORT.
11. The hit point at the Pentagon was too small to accommodate a 100-ton airliner with a 125-foot wingspan and a tail that stands 44 feet above the ground; the kind and quantity of debris was wrong for a Boeing 757: no wings, no fuselage, no seats, no bodies, no luggage, no tail! Which means that the building was not hit by a Boeing 757!
12. The Pentagon’s own videotape does not show a Boeing 757 hitting the building, as even Bill O’Reilly admitted when it was shown on “The Factor”; but at 155 feet, the plane was more than twice as long as the 71-foot Pentagon is high and should have been present and visible; it was not, which means that the building was not hit by a Boeing 757!
13. Pilots for 9/11 Truth have analyzed black box data allegedly from the Pentagon plane and discovered that it contradicts the official account in direction, approach, and altitude: it was 300 feet too high to have taken out the lampposts and 100 feet too high to have hit the building itself.
14. The aerodynamics of flight would have made the official trajectory–flying at high speed barely above ground level–physically impossible; and if it had come it at an angle instead, it would have created a massive crater; but there is no crater and the government has no way out, which means that the building was not hit by a Boeing 757!
15. If Flight 93 had come down as advertised, then there would have been a debris field of about a city block in size, but in fact the debris is distributed over an area of about eight square miles, which would be explainable if the plane had been shot down in the air but not if it had crashed as required by the government’s official scenario.There are more, especially about the alleged hijackers, including that they were not competent to fly the planes; their names were not on any passenger manifest; they were not subject to any autopsy; several have turned up alive and well; the cell phone calls appear to have been impossible; on and on. The evidence may be found at 911Scholars.org.
