American Faust: From Condi to Neo-Condi is a documentary about Condoleezza Rice, an extraordinary but little-understood woman who rose from segregated Alabama to become the most powerful woman in the world. Incisive and shocking, this is the first retrospective film on the Bush Administration. It overturns the popular misconception of Rice as a yes-woman to President Bush to reveal her as his most enduring confidante - and thus responsible for much of the Bush legacy. This political, biographical documentary tells a Faustian story of a woman whose hubris tempted her into a pursuit of power that destroyed her core values, and hurtled America into a perilous new direction. Dr Rice leads her own defense, through a series of candid interviews. Directed by Sebastian Doggart.

After a hiatus of a couple of weeks, dozens of new entries have been published in the 9/11 Timeline over the last few days. The largest chunk of them covers events at the DC Air National Guard, based at Andrews Air Force Base, on the day of the attacks. Initially, officers assumed that the first crash into the WTC was an accident. However, after the second crash, Andrews learned the Secret Service wanted fighters launched. Although the Secret Service then said it didn't on the phone, pilots started overwriting recent exercise data on their flight disks.

The base's intelligence officer was unable to get any information on the crisis, but fighters on a training mission learned of the attacks during refuelling around 9:30 a.m., when the Secret Service called and said that it would like some fighters after all. Missiles at the base began to be unpacked, but the commanding officer, Brigadier General David Wherley, wanted orders from a senior official before he would launch and called the Secret Service again.

The first of the fighters returning from training landed at 10:14 a.m., but did not take off again. Wherley discussed the rules of engagement and apparently then wanted to launch planes in response to an aircraft supposedly approaching Washington. One of the returning fighters was dispatched to look for the plane, but, finding nothing, landed again ten minutes later.

Other entries about the day of 9/11 take in an offline radar, the arrival of the air force's liaison at FAA headquarters before 9:00 a.m., and the arrival of fighters from Richmond and Atlantic City over Washington after 11:00 a.m.

There are also several new entries about Osama bin Laden, for whom al-Qaeda offered to arrange a TV interview in October 2001. After the interview had been done, western intelligence naturally managed to come into possession of it before it was broadcast by Al Jazeera. We also have some more about bin Laden's health. He died of lung problems in December 2001, was buried in an earthquake in 2005, and expired in Iran in 2006, all of which makes his near-death condition in 2007 remarkable.

Despite his repeated deaths and the near certainty that, if he has survived them, he is in Pakistan, late last year Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani claimed that bin Laden was not in that country at all, at which point the ISI helpfully unrolled a psyop with the BBC's kind assistance to back him up.

There are also two more entries about al-Qaeda media releases, of which there were over 90 in 2007 and which included a second English language video from al-Qaeda second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahiri last July.

Returning to the topic of psyops, there are three new entries about CIA disinfo peddler John Kiriakou, who went dangerously off-message when he implicated the White House and Justice Department in waterboarding, leading to a referral of his leaking to be Justice Department for a coat of whitewash. When it came to light Abu Zubaida had been waterboarded 82 more times than Kiriakou claimed, at least a couple of journalists proved they had good memories.

Finally, there are also new entries about Sibel Edmonds' offer to break her gag order and the positive DNA identification of one 9/11 hijacker.

NORTH APPROACH IMPACT ANALYSIS

01/02/2010

By: Rob Balsamo

Peer Review by: Captain Jeff Latas, Commander Ralph Kolstad

 

Introduction - Citizen Investigation Team (CitizenInvestigationTeam.com) has conducted, recorded, and published interviews with dozens of eyewitnesses to the Pentagon attack on 9/11.  Of these witnesses, over a dozen were in excellent locations to be able to judge where the plane flew in relation to the former Citgo gas station, which was the last major landmark along on the plane's flight path in the final seconds before it reached the building.  All of these witnesses unanimously state that they witnessed the plane flying on, or headed towards, the north side of the Citgo gas station.  This includes all known eyewitnesses on the property of the station itself, who had the absolute best possible vantage point to judge which side of the station the plane flew on with zero room for perspective error.

It is physically impossible for a plane approaching the Pentagon on a flight path consistent with eyewitnesses statements to have caused the physical damage to the light poles, generator trailer, and Pentagon as photographically documented and reported.  The following technical analysis will present the calculations that demonstrate this simple scientific fact.

Objective: To determine if an aircraft is able to pass to the north side of the Citgo gas station as reported by eyewitnesses and still cause the physical damage to the light poles, generator trailer, and Pentagon.

Important Note: The simple fact is that most if not all of the eyewitnesses did not stop watching the plane the instant it came even with the north side of the gas station.  In order to assert that the plane may have transitioned from the north side of the station to a trajectory that would allow it to cause the observed physical damage -- beginning with the first down light pole -- one would have to ignore everything drawn and reported beyond that point by the eyewitnesses. Ignoring witness statements is intellectually dishonest and not an objective approach to such an analysis.  This specifically includes, but is not limited to, their placement of the plane over or very near the parking lot outside of the Arlington National Cemetery maintenance buildings, of which a number of witnesses are explicit.  If the hypothetical maneuver in question were possible -- which as this paper shows, it is not -- it would still be a moot point as physical damage analysis and a North Approach Impact hypothesis is not consistent with witness statements, reports or drawings.

Calculations and Analysis

As seen in the video National Security Alert, many of the eyewitnesses who were in the best possible locations to judge where the plane flew in relation to the Navy Annex and former Cigo gas station personally illustrated the flight path on overhead images during their on-location, on-camera interviews with Citizen Investigation Team.  The following is a composite of their drawings.

Based on a hypothetical average of the trajectory as illustrated in these witness drawings, we analyzed the radius required for a transition to the South path, in order to cause the physical damage through the downed light poles, the generator trailer and the "impact" spot on the Pentagon.

Radius drawn with Topography visible

Radius with topography removed
(Scale: 1cm box = 100 feet)

West Turn Radius = 273 feet
East Turn Radius = 264 feet

For simplicity, we will use one calculation for both turns at an average of 270 feet and the formula used to determine acceleration in circular motion.

Calculations are based on speeds of both 400 Knots and 200 Knots.

 

To determine G Forces experienced by an object in circular motion along a curve/radius, the formula G = (v^2/r)/32 is utilized.

Speed = 400 knots
(675 f/sec)

G = (675^2/270)/32

G = 52.2

Speed = 200 knots
(338 f/sec)

G = (338^2/270)/32

G = 13.2

G Forces required are impossible for a transition from the north path to the south path for a Transport Category fixed-wing aircraft of any type.

 

Hypothetical Least Challenging Scenario
(Contradicts witness testimony even more blatantly than prior scenario)

A hypothetical approach path was offered that was falsely implied to have been reconcilable with the witnesses' description of a north side approach as well as the physical damage to the light poles, generator trailer, and Pentagon.

This path completely ignores and contradicts the majority of the key details about the flight path expressed by all of the witnesses seen in National Security Alert, and others who were not even featured in that video due to time constraints (George Aman, for example).

Another major problem with this path is that its width -- which its illustrator claimed is equal to the wingspan of a 757 (124 feet 10 inches) -- fails to take into consideration the fact that bank angle required to make such turns will reduce the effective wingspan significantly, as we will demonstrate below. In order to turn an aircraft, horizontal component of lift is required. In other words, an aircraft cannot just "yaw" it's way around the path illustrated below and must roll into a bank angle.

Radius was measured for each turn and bank angles are calculated based on speed. Speeds analyzed will once again be 400 and 200 knots. Witness Point Of View images are provided to compare with witness statements.

The following flight path is claimed to be the "First Ever Path Possible" from a north of the gas station approach. This is the path we will analyze closely, and since it is the least challenging hypothetical scenario, any other path will have greater results for bank angle required and therefore G Loading as demonstrated above.

(Click on images to enlarge, click backspace to return to this page)

 

Radius for the west approach is 2,834 feet. Scale: 1cm box = 100 feet
(Scale Aircraft inserted to demonstrate level flight is needed for physical damage)

 

Radius for east approach turn is 1,692 feet.
(Scale Aircraft inserted to demonstrate level flight is needed for physical damage)

 

Topography removed for clarity

 

The above path does not take into consideration roll rate. Therefore the change in direction from the west turn to the east turn must be performed instantaneously which is impossible for any fixed-wing aircraft.

To calculate bank angle required based on radius, we use:

Bank Angle = arctan(v^2/11.26r)

G Force can then be calculated from Bank angle using:

G = 1/Cos(Bank Angle)

Speed = 200 knots:

West Turn Radius = 2834

Bank Angle = arctan(200^2/2834*11.26)

Bank Angle = 51 Degrees*

G Force = 1.6 G

East Turn Radius = 1639

Bank Angle = arctan(200^2/1639*11.26)

Bank Angle = 65 Degrees*

G Force = 2.3 G

 

*The bank angles required for both above speeds conflict with witness statements and exceed bank angles required to cause the physical damage (See demonstrations below). Roll rate required for transition from the west to east turn is not possible for either speed or path.

**G Forces required for a speed of 400 Knots is not possible for any fixed wing transport category aircraft.

The following are the bank angles and roll rate that would be observed at the various witness locations starting with the most western witness, Edward Paik, and ending at gas station employee Robert Turcios. Keep in mind any speed greater than 200 knots will require a greater bank angle and therefore G Force.

Speed = 400 knots:

West Turn Radius = 2834

Bank Angle = arctan(400^2/2834*11.26)

Bank Angle = 79 Degrees*

G Force = 5.2 G**

East Turn Radius = 1639

Bank Angle = arctan(400^2/1639*11.26)

Bank Angle = 83 Degrees*

G Force = 8.7 G**

Conclusion - It is impossible for any fixed-wing aircraft to cause the directional physical damage to the light poles, generator trailer, and the Pentagon leading to the C-ring hole approaching from directly over the Navy Annex and north of the former Citgo gas station. The flight paths illustrated by the witnesses would require G forces beyond the physical limitations of any aircraft for it to transition to an approach that lines up with the physical damage. Additionally, a hypothetical least challenging scenario at low speed would require bank angles that are irreconcilable with the physical damage, as well as the witness statements, and require an instantaneously performed roll that is impossible for any fixed-wing aircraft.

Wall Street Journal: The Anthrax Attacks Remain Unsolved The FBI disproved its main theory about how the spores were weaponized.

|

From the Wall Street Journal, no less, comes the following article:

The Anthrax Attacks Remain Unsolved

The article makes the case that the scapegoat Ivins could not have made the anthrax used in the attacks since it had relatively high concentrations of silicon, which he could not have created.

I still believe that the anthrax case is one of the best opportunities for the 9/11 truth movement. The facts are relatively straightforward compared to 9/11. If it could be shown that the anthrax attacks originated from the US government or agents thereof, it would produce a massive shift in the public's thinking. People would then be forced to accept the fact that they have been lied to and the country was attacked through an inside job. That would open up, in my opinion, a huge opportunity to expose the truth about 9/11.

The FBI disproved its main theory about how the spores were weaponized.

January 24, 2010
By EDWARD JAY EPSTEIN
Wall Street Journal Opinion

The investigation of the 2001 anthrax attacks ended as far as the public knew on July 29, 2008, with the death of Bruce Ivins, a senior biodefense researcher at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) in Fort Detrick, Md. The cause of death was an overdose of the painkiller Tylenol. No autopsy was performed, and there was no suicide note.

Less than a week after his apparent suicide, the FBI declared Ivins to have been the sole perpetrator of the 2001 Anthrax attacks, and the person who mailed deadly anthrax spores to NBC, the New York Post, and Sens. Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy. These attacks killed five people, closed down a Senate office building, caused a national panic, and nearly paralyzed the postal system.

The FBI's six-year investigation was the largest inquest in its history, involving 9,000 interviews, 6,000 subpoenas, and the examination of tens of thousands of photocopiers, typewriters, computers and mailboxes. Yet it failed to find a shred of evidence that identified the anthrax killer---or even a witness to the mailings. With the help of a task force of scientists, it found a flask of anthrax that closely matched---through its genetic markers---the anthrax used in the attack.

Thursday, January 21, 2010

By Greg Palast | Updated from the original report for AlterNet

Thursday, January 21, 2010

In today's Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Court ruled that corporations should be treated the same as "natural persons", i.e. humans. Well, in that case, expect the Supreme Court to next rule that Wal-Mart can run for President.

The ruling, which junks federal laws that now bar corporations from stuffing campaign coffers, will not, as progressives fear, cause an avalanche of corporate cash into politics. Sadly, that's already happened: we have been snowed under by tens of millions of dollars given through corporate PACs and "bundling" of individual contributions from corporate pay-rollers.

The Court's decision is far, far more dangerous to U.S. democracy. Think: Manchurian candidates.

I'm losing sleep over the millions --- or billions --- of dollars that could flood into our elections from ARAMCO, the Saudi Oil corporation's U.S. unit; or from the maker of "New Order" fashions, the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Or from Bin Laden Construction corporation. Or Bin Laden Destruction Corporation.

Right now, corporations can give loads of loot through PACs. While this money stinks (Barack Obama took none of it), anyone can go through a PAC's federal disclosure filing and see the name of every individual who put money into it. And every contributor must be a citizen of the USA.

But under  today's Supreme Court ruling that corporations can support candidates without limit, there is nothing that stops, say, a Delaware-incorporated handmaiden of the Burmese junta from picking a Congressman or two with a cache of loot masked by a corporate alias.

Candidate Barack Obama was one sharp speaker, but he would not have been heard, and certainly would not have won, without the astonishing outpouring of donations from two million Americans. It was an unprecedented uprising-by-PayPal, overwhelming the old fat-cat sources of funding.

Well, kiss that small-donor revolution goodbye. Under the Court's new rules, progressive list serves won't stand a chance against the resources of new "citizens" such as CNOOC, the China National Offshore Oil Corporation. Maybe UBS (United Bank of Switzerland), which faces U.S. criminal prosecution and a billion-dollar fine for fraud, might be tempted to invest in a few Senate seats. As would XYZ Corporation, whose owners remain hidden by "street names."

George Bush's former Solicitor General Ted Olson argued the case to the court on behalf of Citizens United, a corporate front that funded an attack on Hillary Clinton during the 2008 primary. Olson's wife died on September 11, 2001 on the hijacked airliner that hit the Pentagon. Maybe it was a bit crude of me, but I contacted Olson's office to ask how much "Al Qaeda, Inc." should be allowed to donate to support the election of his local congressman.

Olson has not responded.

The danger of foreign loot loading into U.S. campaigns, not much noted in the media chat about the Citizens case, was the first concern raised by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who asked about opening the door to "mega-corporations" owned by foreign governments. Olson offered Ginsburg a fudge, that Congress might be able to prohibit foreign corporations from making donations, though Olson made clear he thought any such restriction a bad idea.

Tara Malloy, attorney with the Campaign Legal Center of Washington D.C. says corporations will now have more rights than people. Only United States citizens may donate or influence campaigns, but a foreign government can, veiled behind a corporate treasury, dump money into ballot battles.

Malloy also noted that under the law today, human-people, as opposed to corporate-people, may only give $2,300 to a presidential campaign. But hedge fund billionaires, for example, who typically operate through dozens of corporate vessels, may now give unlimited sums through each of these "unnatural" creatures.

And once the Taliban incorporates in Delaware, they could ante up for the best democracy money can buy.

In July, the Chinese government, in preparation for President Obama's visit, held diplomatic discussions in which they skirted issues of human rights and Tibet. Notably, the Chinese, who hold a $2 trillion mortgage on our Treasury, raised concerns about the cost of Obama's health care reform bill. Would our nervous Chinese landlords have an interest in buying the White House for an opponent of government spending such as Gov. Palin? Ya betcha!

The potential for foreign infiltration of what remains of our democracy is an adjunct of the fact that the source and control money from corporate treasuries (unlike registered PACs), is necessarily hidden. Who the heck are the real stockholders? Or as Butch asked Sundance, "Who are these guys?"
We'll never know.

Hidden money funding, whether foreign or domestic, is the new venom that the Court has injected into the system by its expansive decision in Citizens United.

We've been there. The 1994 election brought Newt Gingrich to power in a GOP takeover of the Congress funded by a very strange source.

Congressional investigators found that in crucial swing races, Democrats had fallen victim to a flood of last-minute attack ads funded by a group called, "Coalition for Our Children's Future." The $25 million that paid for those ads came, not from concerned parents, but from a corporation called "Triad Inc."

Evidence suggests Triad Inc. was the front for the ultra-right-wing billionaire Koch Brothers and their private petroleum company, Koch Industries. Had the corporate connection been proven, the Kochs and their corporation could have faced indictment under federal election law. As of today, such money-poisoned politicking has become legit.

So it's not just un-Americans we need to fear but the Polluter-Americans, Pharma-mericans, Bank-Americans and Hedge-Americans that could manipulate campaigns while hidden behind corporate veils. And if so, our future elections, while nominally a contest between Republicans and Democrats, may in fact come down to a three-way battle between China, Saudi Arabia and Goldman Sachs.

Hi there,

I'm a student filmmaker living in Richmond. I want to make a short documentary
on someone from the 911 truth community focusing on how people first started to
believe in an alternative 911 account.
I'm a believer myself, but I want to explore what drove other people to believe
this.

Please get in touch with me if you live in Richmond VA and are interested in
making a short film.

Thanks,

Jonee.

Freedom of speech has been destroyed video

envision a future United States in which today's Supreme Court ruling permitting unbridled corporate campaign spending purchase all the power greed can afford.
 
 
 
Alliance for Justice, with New View Films and Parrhesia Pictures, Inc., has produced a provocative short documentary entitled Quiet Revolution. Hosted by Emmy award-winning actor Bradley Whitford, the film features U.S. Senator Barack Obama and describes how an increasingly influential movement on the far right has waged a sustained war on the Constitution as we know it. Ultra-conservative politicians, judges, professors and activists would overturn decades of precedent to shred the fabric of popular laws protecting workers, consumers and public health, expand executive power at the expense of basic civil liberties, and impose a narrow social agenda on the rest of the body politic.
 
 
 
scotussupremecourt112007 Critics: Destructive Supreme Court decision empowers corruptionRepublicans say 'freedom won,' liberal jokes real winner is Satan
Update: Obama vows 'forceful response'
The US Supreme Court on Thursday lifted a 20-year ruling which had set limits on campaign financing by US businesses, and critics, including nonpartisan watchdogs and Congressional Democrats, are up in arms about the decision, which most had feared for a long time. Meanwhile, aside from Senator John McCain (R-AZ), Republicans appear to be gleeful about their second apparent victory of the week.
The nine justices ruled that American corporations could dip freely into their general funds to finance campaign ads either in support or against a particular political candidate.
The move overturns a ruling made two decades ago which had forced companies to only use specially earmarked funds from a political action committee.
The Supreme Court also ruled that any campaign ads not financed by the candidate or their party must be clearly marked with the name of the sponsor.
Vowing "a forceful response" to a ruling which will help "drown out the voices of everyday Americans," President Barack Obama released the following statement:
With its ruling today, the Supreme Court has given a green light to a new stampede of special interest money in our politics. It is a major victory for big oil, Wall Street banks, health insurance companies and the other powerful interests that marshal their power every day in Washington to drown out the voices of everyday Americans.
This ruling gives the special interests and their lobbyists even more power in Washington -- while undermining the influence of average Americans who make small contributions to support their preferred candidates.
That's why I am instructing my Administration to get to work immediately with Congress on this issue. We are going to talk with bipartisan Congressional leaders to develop a forceful response to this decision. The public interest requires nothing less.
In a decision widely anticipated for its effect on campaign finance laws -- if not the First Amendment itself -- the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled, 5-4, that corporations and independent groups may spend unlimited funds for or against candidates for president and Congress. The ruling, in the case of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, takes effect immediately, and could play a huge role in the 2010 midterm elections.
Both sides in the bigger debate over money and politics agree that today's decision is significant. The winning side says it's a victory for free speech and the First Amendment. The losing side said that the reforms placed on campaigns in the aftermath of Watergate and other scandals are in serious jeopardy.
Today's decision overturns a 20-year ruling -- Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce -- that prohibited corporations or labor unions from paying for campaign ads. The decision removes spending limits for independent expenditure groups. It threatens to remove spending limits already established in 24 states. And it struck down part of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law that bars issue ads paid for by corporations or unions in the closing days of a campaign.
Democracy 21 President Fred Wertheimer declared in a scathing press release, "Today's Supreme Court decision in the Citizens United case is a disaster for the American people and a dark day for the Supreme Court."
The decision will unleash unprecedented amounts of corporate "influence-seeking" money on our elections and create unprecedented opportunities for corporate "influence-buying" corruption.
Today's decision is the most radical and destructive campaign finance decision in Supreme Court history. In order to reach the decision, five justices abandoned longstanding judicial principles, judicial precedents and judicial restraint.
With the Citizens United opinion, Chief Justice Roberts has abandoned the illusory public commitments he made to "judicial modesty" and "respect for precedent" to cast the deciding vote for a radical decision that profoundly undermines our democracy.
In a stark choice between the right of American citizens to a government free from "influence-buying" corruption and the economic and political interests of American corporations, five Supreme Court Justices today came down in favor of American corporations.
With a stroke of the pen, five Justices wiped out a century of American history devoted to preventing corporate corruption of our democracy.
....
Today, five Justices issued a decision that will empower "influence-buying" corruption.
Senator Russ Feingold (D-WIS), who with McCain has led the charge against "soft money" contributions, released the following statement:
It is important to note that the decision does not affect McCain-Feingold’s soft money ban, which will continue to prevent corporate contributions to the political parties from corrupting the political process. But this decision was a terrible mistake. Presented with a relatively narrow legal issue, the Supreme Court chose to roll back laws that have limited the role of corporate money in federal elections since Teddy Roosevelt was president. Ignoring important principles of judicial restraint and respect for precedent, the Court has given corporate money a breathtaking new role in federal campaigns. Just six years ago, the Court said that the prohibition on corporations and unions dipping into their treasuries to influence campaigns was ‘firmly embedded in our law.’ Yet this Court has just upended that prohibition, and a century's worth of campaign finance law designed to stem corruption in government. The American people will pay dearly for this decision when, more than ever, their voices are drowned out by corporate spending in our federal elections. In the coming weeks, I will work with my colleagues to pass legislation restoring as many of the critical restraints on corporate control of our elections as possible.
Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) called it the "worst Supreme Court decision since the Dred Scott case."
The Hill quotes New York Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer's dissatisfaction, as well.
"The bottom line is this: The Supreme Court has just pre-determined the winners of next November's elections," Schumer said. "It won't be Republicans, it won't be Democrats, it will be corporate America."
"But this opinion, if gone unchallenged, will permanently taint future elections," he added. "Allowing corporations to spend at will on elections could have undue influence on elected officials..."
Another article in The Hill notes that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) cheered the decision.
McConnell, a longtime foe of federal law establishing rules on campaign spending, welcomed the court's decision this morning allowing corporations and organized labor to more freely make independent expenditures in elections.
“For too long, some in this country have been deprived of full participation in the political process. With today’s monumental decision, the Supreme Court took an important step in the direction of restoring the First Amendment rights of these groups by ruling that the Constitution protects their right to express themselves about political candidates and issues up until Election Day," McConnell said in a statement.
In a press release, U.S. Congressman Mike Pence, Chairman of the House Republican Conference, hailed the decision as a victory for "freedom."
Freedom won today in the Supreme Court. Today's ruling in the Citizens United case takes us one step closer to the Founding Fathers' vision of free speech, a vision that is cherished by all Americans and one Congress has a responsibility to protect. If the freedom of speech means anything, it means protecting the right of private citizens to voice opposition or support for their elected representatives. The fact that the Court overturned a 20-year precedent speaks volumes about the importance of this issue.
In 2003, the Supreme Court unwisely supported the oppressive restrictions on free speech that were part of the 2002 campaign finance law. At the time, I was honored to stand with Senator Mitch McConnell and various state and national organizations in challenging this historic error in court. Since that time, the Court has taken important steps toward restoring to the American people their First Amendment rights. This decision is a victory on behalf of those who cherish the fundamental freedoms protected by the First Amendment.
According to a Tweet by The Hill's Mike O'Brien, McCain issued a "terse" statement expressing disappointment with the court's decision. However, another O'Brien Tweet adds, "McCain also expresses relief (as did Feingold) that soft money limits were left in place by SCOTUS ruling."
Film critic Roger Ebert, a staunch liberal Democrat, issued an irreverent Tweet: "Supreme Court relaxes limits on Satan's campaign donations."

Criminal State

By Jeff Gates

January 18, 2010  -- Response of former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when asked on September 11, 2001 what the attacks meant for U.S.-Israeli relations

Game theory war-planners rely on mathematical models to anticipate and shape outcomes with staged provocations. For the agent provocateur, the reactions to a provocation---as well as the reactions to those reactions---thereby become predictable within an acceptable range of probabilities.

With ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan poised to expand to Iran and Pakistan, it is time to take a closer look at how conflicts are catalyzed---by way of deception.

YouTube - Criminal State - Part 3 of 3: A Closer Look at Israel's Role in Terrorism  

Note - The video is based on an article by Jeff Gates, who is a widely acclaimed author, attorney, merchant banker, educator and consultant to governments worldwide, who served for seven years as counsel to the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance. He is the author of Guilt by Association, Democracy At Risk and The Ownership Solution. See his website http://criminalstate.com/

When Israeli game theorist Robert J. Aumann received the 2005 Nobel Prize in economic science, he conceded from Jerusalem, "the entire school of thought that we have developed here in Israel" has turned "Israel into the leading authority in this field." A professor at the Center for the Study of Rationality at Hebrew University, Aumann's Nobel lecture, titled "War and Peace," expounded on the rationality of war.

With a well-modeled provocation, a target's anticipated reaction can even become a weapon in the aggressor's arsenal. In response to the provocation of 9-11, how difficult was it to foresee that the U.S. would deploy its military to avenge that attack? With U.S. intelligence "fixed" by well-placed insiders around a predetermined goal, how difficult was it to anticipate that the reaction to 9-11 could be redirected to wage war in Iraq?

The emotional component of a provocation plays a key role in game theory warfare. With the nationally televised mass murder of 3,000 people, a state of shock, grief and outrage made it easier for Americans to believe that a known Evil Doer in Iraq was responsible---regardless of the facts.

For false beliefs to displace real facts requires mental preconditioning so that a targeted population can be persuaded to put their faith in fictions. That conditioning enhances the probability of a successful deception. Those who deceived the U.S. to invade Iraq in March 2003 began a decade beforehand to lay the "mental threads" and make the requisite mental associations to advance that agenda.

Notable among those threads was the 1993 publication in Foreign Affairs of a theme-setting article by Harvard University professor Samuel Huntington. By the time his analysis appeared in book-length form in 1996 as The Clash of Civilizations, more than 100 think tanks were prepared to promote it. The result created a widely touted narrative---a thematic storyline---supporting a "clash consensus" five years before 9-11 provided a plausible rationale for war.

Also published in 1996 under the guidance of Richard Perle was A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm (i.e., Israel). A member since 1987 of the U.S. Defense Policy Board, this self-professed Zionist became its chairman in 2001.

As an adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Perle's Pentagon advisory post provided a powerful insider position to shape the national security mindset around the removal of Saddam Hussein, a key theme of A Clean Break---released five years before 9-11. That same year Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress at the invitation of Newt Gingrich, the Christian Zionist Speaker of the House.

Murders, books, articles, think tanks and well-placed insiders are common components in a "probabilistic" model deployed by war-planning game theorists. Lawmakers are also a customary ingredient. They provide credibility and a facade of legitimacy---a critical element when inducing a nation to war with phony intelligence fixed around a preset agenda.

That role was eagerly filled by Senators John McCain, Joe Lieberman, a Jewish Zionist from Connecticut, and Jon Kyl, a Christian Zionist from Arizona, when they co-sponsored the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998. By promoting Israel’s 1996 agenda for Securing the Realm, their legislation laid yet another mental thread in the public mindset by calling for the ouster of Saddam Hussein---three years before 9-11.

The legislation also appropriated $97 million to promote their agenda. Distracted by mid-term Congressional elections and impeachment proceedings catalyzed by a well-timed presidential affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, Bill Clinton signed that Zionist agenda into law in October 1998---4-1/2 years before a U.S.-led invasion removed the Iraqi leader.

After 9-11, McCain and Lieberman became inseparable travel companions and irrepressible advocates for the invasion of Iraq. Striking a presidential pose aboard the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt in January 2002, McCain---a son and grandson of admirals---laid another mental thread when he waved an admiral's cap and proclaimed, alongside Lieberman, "On to Baghdad."

By Way of Deception

The confidence with which this game theory strategy progressed in plain sight could be seen in the behavior of Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, another Zionist insider. Four days after 9-11 while in a principals' meeting at Camp David, he proposed that the U.S. invade Iraq. At that time, the intelligence did not point to Iraqi involvement and Osama bin Laden was thought to be hiding in a remote region of Afghanistan.

On that same day, San Diego FBI Special Agent Stephen Butler interrogated Iraqi Munther Ghazal at his home near San Diego to determine if he was funding Mel Rockefeller, an American with whom Ghazal traveled to Baghdad in early 1997. After meeting for several days with a top nuclear physicist with oversight of Iraq's mothballed nuclear weapons program, Rockefeller returned to the U.S. with a practical proposal for removing Saddam Hussein without this war and without triggering an insurgency.

When regional specialists at the U.S. Department of State would not meet with him, he traveled to Ottawa in April 1997 where he met with Middle East specialists in the Canadian government to ensure a written record was made to confirm there was an alternative to war in Iraq---six years before the invasion. Instead of debriefing him, FBI agents sought to discredit him. Though FBI agents interviewed Ghazal many times, they have yet to meet with Mel Rockefeller.

Agent Butler cashed checks and paid rent for the two San Diego-based hijackers who piloted planes into the World Trade Center towers. The same Iman counseling Major Nidal Hasan (with FBI knowledge) before he was transferred to Fort Hood also counseled the San Diego-based hijackers---with FBI knowledge. As of December 1, 2009, no one from the FBI or national security had debriefed Mel Rockefeller---eight years after 9-11.

See: Ft. Hood: "Death By Political Correctness"?

and Ft. Hood Tragedy: The Real Story of the Terrorist "Mad Doctor Hasan"

When President George H.W. Bush declined to invade Baghdad and remove Saddam Hussein during the 1991 Gulf War, Pentagon Under Secretary for Policy Paul Wolfowitz imposed a No-Fly Zone in northern Iraq. By the invasion of March 2003, the Israeli Mossad had agents deployed for a decade in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.

Intelligence reports of Iraqi ties to Al Qaeda were also traced to Mosul---reports that proved false. Mosul again emerged in November 2004 as a center of the insurgency that destabilized Iraq. That reaction precluded the speedy exit of coalition forces promised in Congressional testimony by senior war-planner Wolfowitz in the lead-up to the invasion.

An Inside Job?

The common pro-Israeli source of the phony intelligence that induced war in Iraq has yet to be acknowledged even though intelligence experts agree that deception on such a scale required a decade to plan, staff, pre-stage, orchestrate and---until now—cover up. The leaders of the 9-11 Commission conceded they were thwarted by Commission members adamantly opposed to hearing testimony on the hijackers' motivation for 9-11: the U.S.-Israeli relationship.

The fictions reported as facts by mainstream media included Iraqi WMD, Iraqi ties to Al Qaeda, Iraqi meetings with Al Qaeda in Prague, Iraqi mobile biological weapons laboratories and Iraqi purchases of "yellowcake" uranium from Niger. Only the last claim was conceded as bogus prior to the invasion.

Only after the war began were the balance of the claims disclosed as false, flawed or outright fabricated. An attempt to punish former U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Joe Wilson for his exposure of the phony yellowcake account led to a federal conviction of vice-presidential chief of staff Lewis Libby, another well-placed Zionist insider.

The multi-decade consistency of agent-provocateur fact patterns suggests that this game theory-modeled warfare includes the Israeli provocation that catalyzed the Second Intifada. An intifada is an uprising or, literally, a "shaking off" of an oppressor. The Second Intifada dates from September 2000 when Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon led an armed march to Jerusalem's Temple Mount---one year before 9-11.

After a year of calm during which Palestinians believed that Israel was sincere about peace, suicide bombings recommenced. As Sharon conceded, his march was meant to demonstrate Israeli control over a site considered holy by Muslims worldwide. In response to this second failed attempt at "shaking off" Israeli domination, Sharon and Netanyahu observed that only when Americans "feel our pain" would they understand the plight of the victimized Israelis.

These Likud Party leaders commented that the requisite empathy ("feel our pain") would require a weighted body count of 4,500 to 5,000 Americans lost to terrorism---the initial estimate of those who died in the twin towers of the World Trade Center---one year later.

In other words, only with pain could we identify with the Israelis. Does that mean that only with a mass murder could we be induced to respond with our military to advance their agenda? Was the U.S. response mathematically modeled at the Center for the Study of Rationality? Seven months after 9-11, Benjamin Netanyahu gave a speech in a U.S. Senate office building where he was introduced by Senators Jon Kyl and Joe Liebermn

American Valkyrie?

When successful, game theory warfare strengthens the agent provocateur while leaving the target discredited and depleted by the anticipated reaction. By game theory standards, 9-11 was a strategic success because the U.S.---by its response---was widely criticized for waging war on false pretenses. Only in hindsight did a deceived public realize that Iraq had nothing to do with that mass murder. However, that invasion had everything to do with "securing the realm."

Our response (predictably) triggered a deadly insurgency with devastating consequences for Iraqis, the U.S. and a "coalition of the willing" led to war by a successfully duped U.S. From a game theory perspective, that insurgency was a predictable reaction in a nation populated by three long-feuding sects: Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds. A violent invasion led by a nation closely allied with Jewish nationalists only further fueled the flames of violence and extremism---another foreseeable outcome.

Until the U.S.-led invasion, peace was maintained by an unsavory dictator and former U.S. ally who was rebranded an Evil Doer in the lead-up to war. As the cost in blood and treasure from our "liberation" of Iraq expanded, the U.S. became overextended militarily, financially and diplomatically.

The sectarian violence unleashed in Iraq is precisely what Messrs. Rockefeller and Ghazal were cautioned against in early 1997 should Saddam Hussein be removed suddenly and violently. The 1.3 million Iraqi deaths from war-related causes exceeds the worst of Saddam Hussein's atrocities. As any competent game theory war-planner knew, the strategic winner in this war was certain to be Iran as the U.S. neutralized its key foe---and is now urged by Israel to wage war on Iran.

As the U.S.---the primary target of this deception---emerged in the foreground, the agent provocateur faded into the background. But only after catalyzing dynamics that steadily drained the U.S. of credibility, resources and resolve. This "probabilistic" Israeli victory also ensured widespread cynicism, insecurity, distrust and disillusionment along with a steadily declining capacity to defend our real interests.

Meanwhile the American public came under a system of oversight and surveillance packaged and sold as “homeland security.” This ominously titled operation includes rhetorical echoes of a WWII-era "fatherland" featuring a domestic security force completely alien to U.S. traditions. It is not yet clear whether this new agency was established to protect Americans. Or whether it is meant to shield from Americans those responsible for deceiving us to wage their wars.

In January 2003, Secret Service Agent Richard Sierze interrogated Mel Rockefeller at his home in Fresno, California after he sent an email to Florida Governor Jeb Bush. The email said, in effect, that if the governor's brother (President George Bush) did not interview him on a public record prior to invading Iraq, he would do his best to ensure that lawful means were deployed to see the president executed for treason by a firing squad.

When questioned by Sierze, Rockefeller offered to have the agent speak with Dr. Glenn Olds, an adviser to four presidents, his senior adviser since 1994 and a former U.N. Ambassador who assisted him in entering Iraq through Jordon at a time when Americans were prohibited from traveling there. Sierze declined.

He also repeated his intent to see the president executed for treason and insisted that he be charged and taken before a federal magistrate to present evidence that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction and that an alternative to war had been available since early 1997. Agent Sierze declined his demand to be arraigned in a U.S. Federal District Court---seven weeks before the invasion.

Agent Sierze should be interviewed to see if, in retrospect, he agrees that---had this advice been followed---the war in Iraq may well have been prevented. To date, no one with line responsibility has interviewed Mel Rockefeller on a public record. Why? The answer to that question would reveal those responsible for this ongoing deception.

The victims of these serial deceptions, including the families of those murdered in November at Fort Hood, may have a wrongful death cause of action against those with line responsibility who aided these operations by failing to engage the Rockefeller record in a timely fashion.

Foreseeable Futures

By manipulating the shared mindset, skilled game theory war-planners can wage wars on multiple fronts with minimal resources. One proven strategy: Pose as an ally of a well-armed nation predisposed to deploy its military in response to a mass murder.

In this case, the result destabilized Iraq while creating (predictable) crises that could be exploited to greater strategic advantage by expanding the conflict to Iran, another Israeli goal announced in A Clean Break---seven years before the invasion of Iraq.

Today's mathematically model-able outcomes undermined U.S. national security by discrediting our leadership, degrading our financial condition and disabling our political will. In game theory terms, this devastation was perfectly predictable---within an acceptable range of probabilities.

Pakistan is primed to emerge as the next battleground for game theory war-planners. When India, an ally of Israel, became the nation honored by the Obama administration's first state dinner, that occasion gave reason for concern due to the dynamics already at work in the background.

See "What Is Israel's Role in the Destabilization of Pakistan?"

In the asymmetry that typifies modern warfare, those who are few in number have no alternative when pursuing an expansionist agenda but to wage their wars by way of deception. To maintain its perceived status as a perennial victim, Israeli aggression must proceed non-transparently. Its only option is to operate with duplicitous means, including leveraging the power of its insider influence to advance an agenda from the shadows.

Thus the strategic necessity that this extremist enclave befriend the U.S.---with the intent to betray that friendship to advance its geopolitical goals. Thus the strategic need to create a relationship of trust with a post-WWII super power---in order to defraud us. How else could Colonial Zionists wage their wars except with our military? How else could Jewish nationalists induce our aggression absent the widely shared belief that Israel is not an aggressor but a victim?

Winning Wars from the Inside Out

Game theory war-planners manipulate the shared mental environment by shaping the perceptions and impressions that become consensus opinions. With a combination of well-timed crises, fixed intelligence and a complicit media, policy-makers can be induced to support a predetermined agenda---not because lawmakers are Evil Doers but because the public mindset has been pre-conditioned to respond to manipulated thoughts, emotions and beliefs.

Without the mass murder of 9-11, would America's credibility be in tatters and its creditworthiness in jeopardy? By steadily displacing facts with false beliefs, those duplicitous few-within-the-few amplify the impact of their deceit. By their steady focus on the mental environment, game theory war-planners can defeat an opponent with vastly superior resources.

Today's intelligence wars are waged in plain sight and under the cover of shared beliefs. By manipulating consensus opinion, psy-ops wars can be won from the inside out by inducing a targeted populace to freely choose the very forces that imperil their freedom.

Thus in the Information Age the disproportionate power wielded by those with outsized influence in media, popular culture, think tanks, academia and politics---domains where Zionist influence is pervasive not only in the U.S. but also in other nations induced to war on false pretenses.

Germany offers a case study in manipulation of the public mindset in plain sight and under the banner of a free press. In 2003, Zionist media mogul Haim Saban acquired the second largest media conglomerate in Germany. Why? As Saban investment banker Steve Rattner explained his client's motivation: "Because Germany is important to Israel." Or, as Saban concedes: "I have only one issue and that issue is Israel."

By 2005, Saban had succeeded in electing Angela Merkel as German Chancellor. She quickly became the European Union's most reliable and forceful advocate for Israel. By November 2009, she was prepared to sponsor in Berlin an unprecedented joint session of the German and Israeli governments. Following his political success in Germany, Saban acquired in 2007 a controlling interest in Univision, a Latino-focused network serving the fastest-growing voting bloc in the U.S.

Media manipulation serves as an essential force-multiplier to wage intelligence wars from the periphery or, as with Haim Saban, in plain sight. At the operational core of such psy-ops are game theory war-planners skilled at personality profiling and masterful at anticipating responses to staged provocations and then incorporating those responses into their arsenal.

In the case of Iraq, our (mathematically) foreseeable response to 9-11 led, in practical effect, to Israel's deployment of our military to invade Iraq. For aggressors adept at psy-ops warfare, facts are only an inconvenience to be overcome when waging war by way of deception. Thus the key role played by consensus-shapers featured in mainstream media outlets who focus not on informing the public but on mental conditioning.

For targeted populations dependent on facts and informed consent to protect their freedom and preserve the rule of law, such treachery poses the greatest possible threat. Yet even now many Americans believe that Israel is not an aggressor but a victim and even an ally despite facts confirming a multi-decade pattern of expansionist nationalism and geopolitical deception.

Adhering to an Enemy

The U.S. is far less secure than before 9-11. Tel Aviv clearly intends to continue its serial provocations as evidenced by its ongoing expansion of settlements and its continuing blockade of Gaza. Israel has shown no willingness to negotiate in good faith. With few exceptions, Barack Obama has named as senior advisers either Zionists are those known to be strongly pro-Israeli.

The greatest threat to world peace is not Islam. The most fundamental threat that underlies all others is our "special relationship" with a skilled agent provocateur. Without U.S. support for an enclave of nuclear-armed religious extremists, the common source of this threat could long ago have been identified and steps taken to ensure its containment.

In the same way that lengthy pre-staging was required to induce the U.S. to invade Iraq, a similar strategy is now underway to persuade the U.S. to invade Iran or support an attack by Israel. Pakistan is also now on the agenda of those marketing The Clash narrative with its vision of a perpetual war against "militant Islam." Similar mental conditioning is again at work, including the high profile branding of the requisite Evil Doer: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinajad.

From its outset, the Zionist enterprise sought supremacy in the Middle East. To date, its alliance with the U.S. has enabled the deployment of American military might in pursuit of goals set by Jewish nationalists more than a half-century before a Christian Zionist U.S. president was induced to extend nation-state recognition. Harry Truman made that fateful decision despite his fears that Israel would become what Zionist lobbyists assured him it would not become---and what it immediately became: a racist and theocratic state.

Only one nation had the means, motive, opportunity and stable nation state intelligence required to take the U.S. to war in the Middle East while making it appear that Islam---not Israel---is the problem. When a long-deceived American public---especially the U.S. military---grasps the common source of this devastating duplicity, the response will shift the geopolitical landscape. The facts suggest that "sympathy for Israel" is not among the probable reactions.

If Barack Obama continues to cater to these extremists, this Nobel peace laureate can rightly be blamed when the next attack features the usual orgy of evidence pointing to a pre-staged Evil Doer. Should another mass murder occur, that incident may well be traceable to the U.S.-Israeli relationship and to the failure of our policy-makers to protect America---and world peace---from this enemy within.

I'm really excited. There is a strong possibility of another terrorist attack against America, and this time around I'll be in a position to profit from it. I'll be able to buy puts in airline stocks before the next attack, and pocket a nice chunk of change at the expense of innocent American lives. What a beautiful thing!

"Death to America, Allah is great!" That will be the chant of those who actually execute the attack, while "Fuck Obama" will be the murmored cheers of those in America's intellegence agencies, those who go out of their way to facillitate the next terrorist attack.

My own cheer will simply be; "Ka-ching!"

Journalist and author Naomi Klein spoke in New York last night and addressed the crisis in Haiti: "We have to be absolutely clear that this tragedy---which is part natural, part unnatural---must, under no circumstances, be used to, one, further indebt Haiti and, two, to push through unpopular corporatist policies in the interest of our corporations. This is not conspiracy theory. They have done it again and again."

casssunstein Obama staffer wants cognitive infiltration of 9/11 conspiracy groupsIn a 2008 academic paper, President Barack Obama's appointee to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs advocated "cognitive infiltration" of groups that advocate "conspiracy theories" like the ones surrounding 9/11.

Cass Sunstein, a Harvard law professor, co-wrote an academic article entitled "Conspiracy Theories: Causes and Cures," in which he argued that the government should stealthily infiltrate groups that pose alternative theories on historical events via "chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups and attempt to undermine" those groups.

As head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Sunstein is in charge of "overseeing policies relating to privacy, information quality, and statistical programs," according to the White House Web site.

Sunstein's article, published in the Journal of Political Philosphy in 2008 and recently uncovered by blogger Marc Estrin, states that "our primary claim is that conspiracy theories typically stem not from irrationality or mental illness of any kind but from a 'crippled epistemology,' in the form of a sharply limited number of (relevant) informational sources."

By "crippled epistemology" Sunstein means that people who believe in conspiracy theories have a limited number of sources of information that they trust. Therefore, Sunstein argued in the article, it would not work to simply refute the conspiracy theories in public -- the very sources that conspiracy theorists believe would have to be infiltrated.

Sunstein, whose article focuses largely on the 9/11 conspiracy theories, suggests that the government "enlist nongovernmental officials in the effort to rebut the theories. It might ensure that credible independent experts offer the rebuttal, rather than government officials themselves. There is a tradeoff between credibility and control, however. The price of credibility is that government cannot be seen to control the independent experts."

Download a PDF of the article here.

Sunstein argued that "government might undertake (legal) tactics for breaking up the tight cognitive clusters of extremist theories." He suggested that "government agents (and their allies) might enter chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups and attempt to undermine percolating conspiracy theories by raising doubts about their factual premises, causal logic or implications for political action."

"We expect such tactics from undercover cops, or FBI," Estrin writes at the Rag Blog, expressing surprise that "a high-level presidential advisor" would support such a strategy.

Estrin notes that Sunstein advocates in his article for the infiltration of "extremist" groups so that it undermines the groups' confidence to the extent that "new recruits will be suspect and participants in the group’s virtual networks will doubt each other’s bona fides."

Sunstein has been the target of numerous "conspiracy theories" himself, mostly from the right wing political echo chamber, with conservative talking heads claiming he favors enacting "a second Bill of Rights" that would do away with the Second Amendment. Sunstein's recent book, On Rumors: How Falsehoods Spread, Why We Believe Them, What Can Be Done, was criticized by some on the right as "a blueprint for online censorship."

Sunstein "wants to hold blogs and web hosting services accountable for the remarks of commenters on websites while altering libel laws to make it easier to sue for spreading 'rumors,'" wrote Ed Lasky at American Thinker.

DALLAS (AP) -- AT&T Inc. is making it easy to donate $10 via text message to assist earthquake victims in Haiti.

The telephone company said Wednesday that its wireless customers can donate the money to the Red Cross International Relief fund by sending a text message with the word "HAITI" to 90999.

After a confirmation message arrives, the customer must reply "yes" to finalize the donation, which is added to their bill or deducted from the prepaid account.

AT&T said 100 percent of the money will be passed onto the Red Cross although standard text messaging rates apply. Earlier this year, AT&T gave $200,000 to the Red Cross as part of a five-year, $1 million commitment.

The company is also donating $50,000 to Telecoms Sans Frontieres, a humanitarian organization that has sent an emergency team with satellite mobile and fixed communications equipment to Haiti.

 

Wyclef Jean Haiti Earthquake: Text Yele to... | Gather

Wyclef Jean is appealing to the public for everyone to donate what they can to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund.  The website yele.org is finally coming up on my screen after several minutes of failing to load (probably flooded with traffic).  You can also make and automatic $5 donation by texting the word "yele" to the number 501501.

Wyclef Jean takes this disaster especially seriously because his family is Haitian and he lived there until he was 13.  He started the Yele Haiti Foundation in 2005 to provide scholarships to disadvantaged youth in Haiti.

You can also make and automatic $10 donation to the Red Cross by texting "HAITI" to 90999.

Oh yeah, and Twitter broke the news, and yadda yadda yadda.

(Jan. 12) -- It has been described as one of the more bitter legal disputes to emerge from the rubble of Sept. 11: The nearly seven-year-long battle between the parents of a fallen New York firefighter and his former fiance. Both parties claimed rights to his pension.

The
conflict ended Monday with a Brooklyn, N.Y., judge upholding the decision of the New York Fire Department pension board, which awarded Doreen Noone half of the pension that belonged to her one-time husband-to-be, firefighter Kevin Prior, who died on 9/11. Prior's parents, Marian and Gerard Prior, sued Noone for the $35,000-per-year pay-out, saying they are entitled to the money because Noone was not their son's legal domestic partner.

 
Doreen Noone
Jesse Ward, NY Daily News
"It deeply saddens me that this case ever had to go to court," said Doreen Noone, seen above.

The case isn't just about money -- but perhaps also bad blood. The Priors first began legal action against Noone in June 2004, days before she married New York Police Sgt. Edward Wheeler, who also happened to be Kevin Prior's childhood best friend. During the trial that ensued, Noone testified that her marriage upset Prior's parents and spurred them to action.

"It deeply saddens me that this case ever had to go to court," Noone said in a statement issued by her lawyer Monday. "I continue to mourn the loss of Kevin and hope this decision brings closure to his family and loved ones."

Norman Siegel, attorney for Marian and Gerard Prior, told the New York Daily News his clients are "extremely disappointed" by the Brooklyn Supreme Court's ruling. The Priors argued that Noone caused them "unnecessary anguish" by claiming she lived with their son, who resided in the basement apartment of his parents' Long Island, N.Y., home before his death. Noone testified that she spent most nights with Prior, who she said routinely helped pay her bills.

Closure may be temporary for Noone and her husband, Sgt. Wheeler. According to their lawyer, the Priors are considering an appeal.

6:30 PM (Langston Room) - Naomi Klein, author of Shock Doctrine and No Logo. Revisiting No Logo, Ten Years Later Ten years ago, on November 30, 1999, tens of thousands of protestors shut down a meeting of the World Trade Organization in Seattle. The activists were not against trade or globalization, despite the many misleading claims in the mainstream media. They were against a system of deregulated capitalism that was spreading around the world. At the time of the Seattle protests, Klein's first book, No Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies, was at the printer. The book looked at the war being waged on public space by a new breed of corporate "superbrands," as well as the first signs of a fight back against corporate power. On the ten-year anniversary of the Seattle protests, with anger mounting at the open collusion between corporations and governments, No Logo is being re-released with an extended new introduction. Among other developments, the new essay looks at the unprecedented bailout of Wall Street, as well as the rise of the Obama Brand (the most powerful brand in the world) and examines the troubling gaps between its marketing and reality.

An AVATAR Awakening
By David Swanson
http://afterdowningstreet.org/node/48770
 


Let's face it, if James Cameron had made a movie with the Iraqi resistance as the heroes and the U.S. military as the enemies, and had set it in Iraq or anywhere else on planet earth, the packed theaters viewing "Avatar" would have been replaced by a screening in a living room for eight people and a dog. 

Nineteen years ago, Americans packed theaters for "Dances with Wolves" in which Native Americans became the heroes, but the story was set in a previous century and the message understated.

The Na'vi people of "Avatar" are very explicitly Iraqis facing "shock and awe," as well as Native Americans with bows and arrows on horseback.  The "bad guys" in the battle scenes are U.S. mercenaries, essentially the U.S. military, and the movie allows us to see them, very much as they are right now in 177 real nations around the world, through the eyes of their victims. 

People know this going into the movie, and do not care.  For better, and certainly for worse, they do not care.  Millions of people stand in lines, shell out big bucks, wear stupid-looking 3-D glasses, sit in the dark for three hours, identify with twelve-foot-high pointy-eared blue people, cheer as the credits roll, and simply do not care that actual human beings suffer the same fate as the computer-generated creations, albeit without miraculous happy endings. 

Imagine if a tenth of the people who now sympathize with these bony blue beings were to take three hours to read a book or watch a movie about the people of Iraq or Afghanistan or Pakistan or Yemen or Iran.  Our real planet would then be a different world.

When I saw "Avatar" in a packed 3-D theater in Virginia, and the crowd cheered the closing shot, I shouted: "And get out of Iraq too!"  No one cheered for that.  But no one called me a traitor either. 

But will anyone in that crowd lift a finger to pressure their representatives in Congress to stop funding the evil they'd just seen sanitized, animated, relocated, and ever so slightly disguised?

Rob Kall at OpEd News suggested that we make flyers to hand out at theaters following screenings of "Avatar." Having now seen the film, I think he's right. Here's
a flyer (PDF). Here's the text:

AVATAR

Did you know that the Na'vi people are real, their troubles are real, and you can be a hero who saves them?  It's true!

The story of "Avatar" is the story of Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and other countries attacked and occupied by U.S. mercenaries and U.S. troops.

It's harder to think about that, than it is to sympathize with giant blue computer-animated creatures.  But it's extremely important that you take the step to explicitly admit to yourself what you've just watched in this movie, and that you take the additional step of doing something about it.

You don't have to ride a dragon or shoot an arrow, but you do have to call this number 202-224-3121 and ask to speak with your representative in the U.S. House of Representatives and tell them that their career will be over if they vote another dime to pay for the evil depicted in "Avatar."

Tell them that investing your money in education, transportation, energy, or infrastructure produces many more jobs than investing it in killing.  Tell them that diplomacy and aid work better than bombs, and that we do not need unobtainium, which is called that for a reason, although we know it as "oil".

"It's easy to imagine an infinite number of situations where the government might legitimately give out false information,"
"It's an unfortunate reality that the issuance of incomplete information and even misinformation by government may sometimes be perceived as necessary to protect vital interests."...
~Bush/Cheney Administration's Solicitor-General, Theodore Olson
 
There seems to be a bit of controversy in the so called "9/11 Truth Movement" on whether the phone calls from the planes were fake or not. The most well known proponent of this theory is David Ray Griffin and his take on the Barbara Olson phone calls to her husband Ted Olson. Let's examine this closely and see if there is any merit to this "fake Phone calls" theory. I would hope that the 9/11 truth crowd is serious on promoting the truth, and solid evidence, being responsible and promoting well researched factual "evidence".

The "Fake" Phone calls According to David Ray Griffin (DRG)...

"Olson’s Story Contradicted by the FBI"

"The most serious official contradiction of Ted Olson's story came in 2006 at the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, the so-called 20th hijacker. The evidence presented to this trial by the FBI included a report on phone calls from all four 9/11 flights."

"In its report on American Flight 77, the FBI report attributed only one call to Barbara Olson and it was an "unconnected call," which (of course) lasted "0 seconds."

"According to the FBI, therefore, Ted Olson did not receive a single call from his wife using either a cell phone or an onboard phone."

"Back on 9/11, the FBI itself had interviewed Olson. A report of that interview indicates that Olson told the FBI agents that his wife had called him twice from Flight 77."

"And yet the FBI's report on calls from Flight 77, presented in 2006, indicated that no such calls occurred."

"This was an amazing development: The FBI is part of the Department of Justice, and yet its report undermined the well-publicized claim of the DOJ's former solicitor general that he had received two calls from his wife on 9/11."
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=8514

He is referring to this .....
http://911research.wtc7.net/planes/evidence/docs/calls/Flight77/BarbaraO...

But doesn't mention that there were 5 other calls from the flight, presented at the same trial. How come?

5 other calls...made by someone on the plane....who? Who made these calls?
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rLV-ZuNPwJ4/Rwz-Ib8-fCI/AAAAAAAAAr8/n-30ErtLxA...

DRG says..."According to the FBI, therefore, Ted Olson did not receive a single call from his wife using either a cell phone or an onboard phone."
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=8514

However, according to the FBI, Ted Olson is being truthful.

The trial was in 2006. Ted Olson wasn't on trial so there was no need to prove anything in regards to him or his phone calls. The entire FBI isn't "in on it". They contacted the next of kin of all the passengers of the flights, and all those receiving calls....the documents are here.....
http://www.scribd.com/doc/13499802/T7-B13-Flight-Call-Notes-and-302s-Fol...

Right from the start the FBI stated that Ted Olson didn't know if the calls were cell phone calls or Airfone calls. His secretary Lori Keyton is the one that took these calls at first, not Ted Olson, and she states that they were collect calls, that means they were probably not from her cell phone and there should be operators that would confirm this. The FBI documents concerning this can be seen here....
http://www.scribd.com/doc/15072623/T1A-B33-Four-Flights-Phone-Calls-and-...

The FBI interviewed Olson's secretary Lori Keyton.....
From FBI Document:

"Keyton provided the following information:

"Keyton was working in Ted Olson's Office this morning. She is regularly called there to cover the telephones. At approximately 9:00am, she received a series of approximately six to eight collect telephone calls. Each of the calls was an automated collect call. There was a recording advising of the collect call and requesting she hold for an operator. A short time later another recording stated that all operators were busy, please hang up and try your call later."

"Keyton then received a collect call from a live operator. The operator advised that there was an emergency collect call from Barbara Olson for Ted Olson. Keyton advised that she would accept the call. Barbara Olson was put through and sounded hysterical. Barbara Olson said, "Can you tell Ted .. " Keyton cut her off and said, "I'll put him on the line."

"Keyton advised that there is no caller identification feature on the phone she was using. Keyton didn't know if Barbara Olson was calling from the phone on the plane or from her cell phone."
http://intelfiles.egoplex.com/2001-09-14-FBI-FD302-lori-lynn-keyton.pdf

So as you can see, Ted Olson has several witnesses backing up his story, one is his secretary, and others are the operators who put some of these calls through.

"Teresa Gonzalez, operator for AT&T Services AT&T, telephonically contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation FBI to report an emergency phone call received by AT&T. After being advised of the identity of the interviewing agent and the nature of the interview, she provided the following information:

"Mercy Lorenzo, also an operator with AT&T, received a call from a female passenger on flight 77 requesting to be transferred to telephone number 202-514-2201. The female passenger advised the plane was being hi-jacked. Hi-jackers were ordering passengers to move to the back of the plane and were armed with guns and knives. Lorenzo indicated the pilot might not yet be aware of the take over of the plane."

"Additionally, the number provided was the number of the passenger's husband. He is a Sergeant and resides in Washington, D.C."
911myths.com/images/9/95/265A-NY-280350-302-22170-Unredacted.pdf

Yes, that phone number is to the United States Solicitor General...just type in into google...
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=+202-514-2201&btnG=Search&...

Ted Olson was not a "Sergeant" he was United States Solicitor General. And notice that link is to a debunkers site. Evidence shows the calls happened as Olson said, and there’s no evidence they didn't, so why wouldn't debunkers point that out? This nonsense of no planes, flyovers, missiles, and fake calls, and victims being "in on it" helps debunkers, Government apologists, and the very people/entities that so called "truthers" are claiming to expose. Those that promote this nonsense are assisting the very people they claim they are opposing.

So Ted Olson's story is confirmed over and over again by people who don't even know him.

DRG also says this.....

"And yet the FBI's report on calls from Flight 77, presented in 2006, indicated that no such calls occurred."

"This was an amazing development: The FBI is part of the Department of Justice, and yet its report undermined the well-publicized claim of the DOJ’s former solicitor general that he had received two calls from his wife on 9/11."
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=8514

Yes, the FBI is part of the Department of Justice, and 2 years before the Moussaoui trial all this info was known to them, and the Department of Justice confirmed Olson’s story. DRG claims the FBI’s report ''undermined" Olson's claim to have received two calls from his wife. However this document seems to prove otherwise.....

"Event: Department of Justice briefing on cell and phone calls from AA Flight 77"

"Date: May 20, 2004"

"This work was conducted in support of the U.S. Justice Department's criminal case against Zacarias Moussaoui."

"While there was no direct evidence with respect to the "unknown calls," interviews with recipients (especially Lori Keyton who was answering the phone in Ted Olson's office on 9/11), plus interviews of family members of other Flight 77 passengers, has lead to the conclusion that all of these unknown calls were from Barbara Olson to her husband Ted's office."

"unknown" calls from Flight 77:

Who made these calls? According to DRG the Justice department admitted Barbara didn't call Ted Olson....This is NOT TRUE!:

According to the Justice Department:

"all of these unknown calls were from Barbara Olson to her husband Ted's office."
http://www.scribd.com/doc/18886083/T7-B12-Flight-93-Calls-General-Fdr-52...

So one might wonder....why didn't they explain all this at the trial? My guess is....I think to use an airphone you either use a credit card and pay for it yourself, or you call an operator and have the other person pay as a collect call. Which seems to be what Beamer did, according to the operator that answered the call.....

"He told me that he had dialed zero to report his plane was being hijacked..."
http://archive.southcoasttoday.com/daily/09-02/09-10-02/a02wn022.htm

If you use a credit card and pay yourself you dial the number yourself and a record from the airphone is then made. She did that once and it didn't go through...you have the one recorded call, and the number dialed from the airphone. The others were made collect and therefor the operator dialed the number not the person using the airphone therefor the number called is unknown(not dialed on the airphone) but the time the airphone was used is known and recorded. By talking to the operators, Keyton, and the other family members it aint hard to figure out where these calls went.........

"Mercy Lorenzo, also an operator with AT&T, received a call from a female passenger on flight 77 requesting to be transferred to telephone number 202-514-2201.
911myths.com/images/9/95/265A-NY-280350-302-22170-Unredacted.pdf

she received a series of approximately six to eight collect telephone calls.

http://intelfiles.egoplex.com/2001-09-14-FBI-FD302-lori-lynn-keyton.pdf

The trial was in 2006, and the evidence presented was simply the calls. The airphone calls were classified as "unknown" because they were collect calls and no record from the airphone recorded the number dialed as the operator, ....not the person using the airphone, dialed the number. They could have gone ahead and presented the evidence to show who made these "unknown" number calls, as they already found out in 2004 as the documents show, but there was no reason to do that because Ted Olson wasn't on trial, and it would be irrelevant to the case and a waste of the courts time. Anyway, that's my guess.

DRG also says there weren't any Airfones on American Airlines. Yea, that's because they were being taken out of the aircrafts. In 2002. In order to take the Airfones out in 2002, they have to be in first,.. 9/11 happened in 2001.

American Airlines had AirFones in 2001:

"February 6, 2002 4:20 PM PST":

"American Airlines will discontinue its AT&T in-flight phone service by March 31, a spokesman for the airline said Wednesday."

"American will stop the service by March 31 and then take steps to remove the phones from its airplanes."
http://news.cnet.com/2100-1033-831093.html

DRG knows this, and has for years, as debunkers enjoy pointing out....
screwloosechange.blogspot.com/2007/05/debunking-david-ray-griffin.html

P4T, DRG himself, and debunkers all know this is false info.....

I have seen no evidence that supports the notion of "fake phone calls". Only evidence that they are indeed real. If there is no evidence of fake phone calls it is irresponsible and rather outrageous to accuse people who lost loved ones on that tragic day of lying or being "in on it", simply to keep a faulty theory alive.

For years I've seen over and over the "Ted Olson is a liar" mantra put forth by the "truth" movement, led by DRG, when the evidence actually supports Mr Olson. A real big clue of someone not being "in on it" is when they, or a person close to them are dead. Like John O'Neill. Because of 9/11 he is dead. That is a pretty good clue he isn't "in on it". Ted Olson had a wife that is dead due to 9/11. DRG has no evidence he lied or is "in on it", and he has no evidence that phone calls were faked. One may not like Olson or his politics, but to accuse him of "being in on it", or to claim phone calls were faked, when there's no evidence to support these claims, is extremely counter productive and IMO offensive.The evidence shows me she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I prefer the "truth" movement focus on truth, and have it's "facts" in order. Accusing victims of the attack as being "in on it" liars, when the evidence isn't there doesn't help a "truth" movement. It destroys it.

 
 
Did you hear about what the federal government's top lawyer told the Supreme Court a week ago? Solicitor General Theodore Olson testified that U.S. officials have the right to lie to American citizens.

Why? Because, he said, misleading statements sometimes are needed to protect foreign policy interests. "It's easy to imagine an infinite number of situations where the government might legitimately give out false information," Olson said.

Even if you're a bible-believing fundamentalist who thinks Robert Bork and William Bennett are the true guardians of Western morality, you don't necessarily have to get your prayer beads in a knot over this one.

According to the first chapter of Exodus, the Egyptian midwives, Shiph'rah and Pu'ah, were blessed by the Lord (the same God who decreed "thou shalt not bear false witness") despite their lying. In their case, they didn't lie to the people, but to Pharaoh, who had instituted a policy of male infanticide. Bottom line: the midwives misinformation move was an act of moral courage that saved Moses' life so he could lead the Israelites out of bondage.

But unless, or until, Bush can spontaneously combust and burn without being consumed, I, for one, am not too comfortable swallowing whole Olson's notion of Uncle Sam having the right to lie.

If he had said: "Government officials have a tendency to lie, if they think telling the truth will unnecessarily harm foreign policy interests," the wire story about his testimony probably wouldn't have caused me to give it a second thought.

After all, even the most cursory review of Cold War history will reveal that the feds lying to cover their foreign policy tracks is nothing new. But a right to lie?

If our government has a right to lie, then we citizens have a duty to be skeptical about official statements.

Just don't tell Attorney General John Ashcroft I said that. I don't want to end up a "detainee" in this war on terrorism for suggesting that American citizens actually question policy pronouncements because, after all, our government has the right to lie, especially when it comes to war.

Consider the recent release of more Nixon Oval Office tapes. Most commentators have focused on what the former president had to say about the Vietnam War. But the researchers at Common Sense for Drug Policy unearthed a major root of another war - the war on drugs (see www.csdp.org).

In 1971, Nixon appointed a National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse, a.k.a. the Shafer Commission, whose charge it was to do extensive weed research and then make some policy recommendations.

"You know, it's a funny thing, every one of the bastards that are out for legalizing marijuana is Jewish. What the Christ is the matter with the Jews, Bob?...I suppose it is because most of them are psychiatrists," Nixon said in a May 1971 meeting. He went on to explain that people drink alcohol "to have fun" but weed-smokers light up just "to get high."

Little wonder Washington Post staff writer Gene Weingarten wrote a piece recently, asking: "Just what was he smoking?"

In another meeting, Nixon met with then-Pennsylvania governor Raymond P. Shafer about the commission's work. "You're enough of a pro to know that for you to come out with something that would run counter to what the Congress feels...and what we're planning to do, would make your commission just look bad as hell," Nixon told Shafer, when he learned that the commission was about to recommend marijuana be legalized.

Kevin Zeese, president of Common Sense for Drug Policy, reports that since the commission issued its recommendation that marijuana offenses not be a crime, 15 million people have been arrested on marijuana charges.

"Dope? Do you think the Russians allow dope? Hell no. Not if they catch it, they send them up. You see, homosexuality, dope, uh, immorality in general: these are the enemies of strong societies. That's why the Communists and the left-wingers are pushing it. They're trying to destroy us," Nixon said, explaining his justification for the "all-out war" on marijuana use.

Of course, as Weingarten observes, the "Jew-homo-doper-Commie-shrink-lefty cabal has not, to date, destroyed us." What Weingarten didn't say was: The war on drugs is shrouded in misinformation, covering up the destruction it has wrought in both foreign and domestic places.

In a 1999 campaign speech, President Bush noted that "America has tripled its prison population in the last 15 years," which has resulted in "a problem - an estimated 1.3 million children who have one or both parents in prison."

Time for another commission to review our national drug laws. But this time we ought to demand a truth and reconciliation commission to counter the right to lie and affirm our right to truth and justice.

img_hwbush_cia_lg 
Newly released internal CIA documents assert that former president George Herbert Walker Bush's oil company emerged from a 1950's collaboration with a covert CIA officer.
 
Bush has long denied allegations that he had connections to the intelligence community prior to 1976, when he became Central Intelligence Agency director under President Gerald Ford. At the time, he described his appointment as a 'real shocker.'

But the freshly uncovered memos contend that Bush maintained a close personal and business relationship for decades with a CIA staff employee who, according to those CIA documents, was instrumental in the establishment of Bush's oil venture, Zapata, in the early 1950s, and who would later accompany Bush to Vietnam as a "cleared and witting commercial asset" of the agency.

According to a CIA internal memo dated November 29, 1975, Bush's original oil company, Zapata Petroleum, began in 1953 through joint efforts with Thomas J. Devine, a CIA staffer who had resigned his agency position that same year to go into private business. The '75 memo describes Devine as an "oil wild-catting associate of Mr. Bush." The memo is attached to an earlier memo written in 1968, which lays out how Devine resumed work for the secret agency under commercial cover beginning in 1963.

''Their joint activities culminated in the establishment of Zapata Oil,'' the memo reads. In fact, early Zapata corporate filings do not seem to reflect Devine's role in the company, suggesting that it may have been covert. Yet other documents do show Thomas Devine on the board of an affiliated Bush company, Zapata Offshore, in January, 1965, more than a year after he had resumed work for the spy agency.

It was while Devine was in his new CIA capacity as a commercial cover officer that he accompanied Bush to Vietnam the day after Christmas in 1967, remaining in the country with the newly elected congressman from Texas until January 11, 1968. Whatever information the duo was seeking, they left just in the nick of time. Only three weeks after the two men departed Saigon, the North Vietnamese and their Communist allies launched the Tet offensive with seventy thousand troops pre-positioned in more than 100 cities and towns.

While the elder Bush was in Vietnam with Devine, George W. Bush was making contact with representatives of the Texas Air National Guard, using his father’s connections to join up with an elite, Houston-based Guard unit - thus avoiding overseas combat service in a war that the Bushes strongly supported.

The new revelation about George H.W. Bush's CIA friend and fellow Zapata Offshore board member will surely fuel further speculation that Bush himself had his own associations with the agency.

Indeed, Zapata's annual reports portray a bewildering range of global activities, in the Mideast, Asia and the Caribbean (including off Cuba) that seem outsized for the company's modest bottom line. In his autobiography, Bush declares that ''I'd come to the CIA with some general knowledge of how it operated' and that his 'overseas contacts as a businessman' justified President Nixon's appointing him as UN ambassador, a decision that at the time was highly controversial.

Previously disclosed FBI files include a memo from bureau director J. Edgar Hoover, noting that his organization had given a briefing to two men in the intelligence community on November 23, 1963, the day after the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The memo refers to one as "Mr. George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency" and the other as "Captain William Edwards of the Defense Intelligence Agency."

When Nation magazine contributor Joseph McBride first uncovered this document in 1988, George Herbert Walker Bush, then vice president and seeking the presidency, insisted through a spokesman that he was not the man mentioned in the memo: "I was in Houston, Texas, at the time and involved in the independent oil drilling business. And I was running for the Senate in late '63. I don't have any idea of what he’s talking about." The spokesman added, "Must be another George Bush."

When McBride approached the CIA at that time, it initially invoked a policy of neither ing nor denying anyone's involvement with the agency. But it soon took the unusual step of asserting that the correct individual was a George William Bush, a one-time Virginia staffer whom the agency claimed it could no longer locate. But that George Bush, discovered in his office in the Social Security Administration by McBride, noted that he was a low-ranked coast and landing-beach analyst and that he most certainly never received such an FBI briefing.

It was perhaps to help lay to rest the larger matter of the elder Bush's past associations that the former president went out of his way during his recent eulogy for President Ford to sing the praises of the Warren Commission Report as the final authority on those days.

After a deluded gunman assassinated President Kennedy, our nation turned to Gerald Ford and a select handful of others to make sense of that madness. And a conspiracy theorist can say what they will, but the Warren Commission report will always have the final definitive say on this tragic matter. Why? Because Gerry Ford put his name on it and Gerry Ford's word was always good.

In fact, Ford's role on the Warren Commission is seen by many experts as a decisive factor in his rise to the top. As a Commission member, Ford altered its report in a significant way. As the Associated Press reported in 1997, "Thirty-three years ago, Gerald R. Ford took pen in hand and changed - ever so slightly - the Warren Commission's key sentence on the place where a bullet entered John F. Kennedy’s body when he was killed in Dallas. The effect of Ford's change was to strengthen the commission's conclusion that a single bullet passed through Kennedy and severely wounded Texas Gov. John Connally - a crucial element in its finding that Lee Harvey Oswald was the sole gunman."

This modification played a seminal role in ending talk of a larger conspiracy to kill the president. Knowledge of Ford's alteration has encouraged theorists to scrutinize the constellation of other figures who might have had a motivation to cover up the affair.

Meanwhile, there is much more to learn about George H. W. Bush's friend, Thomas Devine. The newly surfaced memos explain that Devine, from 1963 on, had authority from the agency to operate under commercial cover as part of an agency project code-named WUBRINY.

Devine at that time was employed with the Wall Street boutique Train, Cabot and Associates, described in the memos as an "investment banking firm which houses and manages the [CIA] proprietary corporation WUSALINE." These nautical names - 'Saline' and 'Briny' - or, for the Bay of Pigs invasion 'Wave' - are CIA cryptonyms for the programs and companies involved.

George H.W. Bush's own ties are amplified in the 1975 CIA memo, dated November 29, which makes it clear that he had knowledge of CIA operations prior to being named the new director of the CIA in the fall of that year.

The 1975 memo notes that, through his relationship with Devine, "Mr George Bush [the CIA director-designate] has prior knowledge of the now terminated project WUBRINY/LPDICTUM which was involved in proprietary commercial operations in Europe."

The Bush documents, part of a batch of 300,000 records the CIA provided to the House Select Committee on Assassinations, were publicly released in 1998 as the result of a lawsuit, donated to a foundation, scanned into a database - and only just noticed by an independent researcher.

Subject: 53% Say 9/11 'Most Important Event of the Decade'

By a wide margin, the 9/11 terrorist attacks are seen as the most important event of the decade, with Barack Obama’s election as president a distant second – even among his political supporters. And the sour view of the decade is broad-based, with few in any political or demographic group offering positive evaluations.

------

9/11 the Crystallizing Event

When offered a list of six major events of the decade, just over half (53%) say that the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks were the single most important event of the decade. Trailing far behind, 16% cite Obama’s election as president, 12% the 2008 financial crisis, 6% George W. Bush’s election as president, 5% the war in Iraq, and 3% cite Hurricane Katrina.

More than a quarter (28%) of Democrats say Obama’s election was the single most important event of the decade, far more than among independents (12%) or Republicans (8%). Because of this focus on Obama’s election, fewer Democrats (43%) cite the Sept. 11 attacks as the biggest event of the decade than Republicans (60%) or independents (56%).

And while 9/11 is seen as the most important event across all age groups, opinions about the importance of other events differ in significant ways. People under age 30 are more likely than their elders to name the war in Iraq as the most important event of the decade (11% vs. 3% of those ages 30 and over). And, along with the oldest cohort, younger Americans are less likely to name 9/11 as the most important event.

ABOUT VIDEO:

Council on Foreign Relations President Richard N. Haass gave a talk "on his book- "Wars of necessity, Wars of choice" at the Rand Corporation in Santa Monica, California to expound upon the 'big ideas' of foreign policy. Although Haass insists, wherever he goes, that US foreign policy is driven by "big ideas" and not by the small-minded, destructive agendas of conspiratorial cartels and international crime syndicates posing as think tanks, intelligence agencies and transnational corporations, it remains difficult to actually find any ideas among the mountains of Haass a historical, incoherent and amoral pablum.

WeAreChangeLA showed up to clarify matters with Haass. Stewart Howe broke down Haass Grandest Concept, that there are very crucial differences between the mass murder known as "War of Choice" and the mass murder known as "War of Necessity," by pointing out that the term "Wars of Agenda" cleared this deceptive dichotomy up once and for all.

Hass' rhetoric flies in the face of the admitted facts and evidence which support that New World Order ("Global Order") and CFR agenda effectively, along with AIPAC and AEI, controls US foreign policy, despite his lies to the contrary. While he at the same time he ADMITS ON FILM that this mass murder (1.5 MILLION Middle East citizens dead) is carried out in service to the "agenda" and "set of objectives" of "...a group of individuals"! Certainly NOT on behalf of We The People.

Bob Sherman asked Haass how he could praise the 9/11 Commission Report when it failed to deal with World Trade Center Building 7. Haass claimed to not know about WTC 7 and said he would research it.

Other folks got involved with very precise questions that touched on the War, Bush and the Military Industrial Complex. Haass decided to answer by avoiding altogether or answer a historically and deceptively.

The question and answer segment which followed, along with a less formal chat in Rands (Dark) courtyard afterward, allowed for several chances to press Mr. Haass about his pursuit of "Wars of PNAC (now AEI) Agenda", The 9/11 Commission Reports excluding mention of Building Seven, SPP Globalist agenda pursued at the expense of our Constitution, The actual purpose of the CFR being the disarmament of U.S. sovereignty, and the New World Order.

Stewart Howe continued the questioning till Haass had to scurry away. To think that the current occupant 'running' the White House uses this man's language to describe matters of war and peace is quite disturbing. And when this thought is combined with the President's recently-aired rejection of history, morality and the laws of the physical universe under the guise of the 'facts' that 'Al-Qaeda claimed to do 9/11,' the intellectual honesty and/or moral fortitude of the current front running out of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. appears to be almost on par with the previous sock puppet crew. Luckily, the questioners showed that the American peoples' intelligence and moral acuity is not well represented by one Richard Haas, his 'boss' and their 'big ideas.'
