Questioning 9/11 ... With CautionPosted on Aug 30, 2007
By Robert Fisk Originally posted in The Independent. Each time I lecture abroad on the Middle East, there is always someone in the audience – just one – whom I call the “raver”. Apologies here to all the men and women who come to my talks with bright and pertinent questions – often quite humbling ones for me as a journalist – and which show that they understand the Middle East tragedy a lot better than the journalists who report it. But the “raver” is real. He has turned up in corporeal form in Stockholm and in Oxford, in Sao Paulo and in Yerevan, in Cairo, in Los Angeles and, in female form, in Barcelona. No matter the country, there will always be a “raver”. His – or her – question goes like this. Why, if you believe you’re a free journalist, don’t you report what you really know about 9/11? Why don’t you tell the truth – that the Bush administration (or the CIA or Mossad, you name it) blew up the twin towers? Why don’t you reveal the secrets behind 9/11? The assumption in each case is that Fisk knows – that Fisk has an absolute concrete, copper-bottomed fact-filled desk containing final proof of what “all the world knows” (that usually is the phrase) – who destroyed the twin towers. Sometimes the “raver” is clearly distressed. One man in Cork screamed his question at me, and then – the moment I suggested that his version of the plot was a bit odd – left the hall, shouting abuse and kicking over chairs. Usually, I have tried to tell the “truth”; that while there are unanswered questions about 9/11, I am the Middle East correspondent of The Independent, not the conspiracy correspondent; that I have quite enough real plots on my hands in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Iran, the Gulf, etc, to worry about imaginary ones in Manhattan. My final argument – a clincher, in my view – is that the Bush administration has screwed up everything – militarily, politically diplomatically – it has tried to do in the Middle East; so how on earth could it successfully bring off the international crimes against humanity in the United States on 11 September 2001? Well, I still hold to that view. Any military which can claim – as the Americans did two days ago – that al-Qaida is on the run is not capable of carrying out anything on the scale of 9/11. “We disrupted al-Qaida, causing them to run,” Colonel David Sutherland said of the preposterously code-named “Operation Lightning Hammer” in Iraq’s Diyala province. “Their fear of facing our forces proves the terrorists know there is no safe haven for them.” And more of the same, all of it untrue. Advertisement But – here we go. I am increasingly troubled at the inconsistencies in the official narrative of 9/11. It’s not just the obvious non sequiturs: where are the aircraft parts (engines, etc) from the attack on the Pentagon? Why have the officials involved in the United 93 flight (which crashed in Pennsylvania) been muzzled? Why did flight 93’s debris spread over miles when it was supposed to have crashed in one piece in a field? Again, I’m not talking about the crazed “research” of David Icke’s Alice in Wonderland and the World Trade Center Disaster – which should send any sane man back to reading the telephone directory. I am talking about scientific issues. If it is true, for example, that kerosene burns at 820C under optimum conditions, how come the steel beams of the twin towers – whose melting point is supposed to be about 1,480C – would snap through at the same time? (They collapsed in 8.1 and 10 seconds.) What about the third tower – the so-called World Trade Centre Building 7 (or the Salmon Brothers Building) – which collapsed in 6.6 seconds in its own footprint at 5.20pm on 11 September? Why did it so neatly fall to the ground when no aircraft had hit it? The American National Institute of Standards and Technology was instructed to analyse the cause of the destruction of all three buildings. They have not yet reported on WTC 7. Two prominent American professors of mechanical engineering – very definitely not in the “raver” bracket – are now legally challenging the terms of reference of this final report on the grounds that it could be “fraudulent or deceptive”. Journalistically, there were many odd things about 9/11. Initial reports of reporters that they heard “explosions” in the towers – which could well have been the beams cracking – are easy to dismiss. Less so the report that the body of a female air crew member was found in a Manhattan street with her hands bound. OK, so let’s claim that was just hearsay reporting at the time, just as the CIA’s list of Arab suicide-hijackers, which included three men who were – and still are – very much alive and living in the Middle East, was an initial intelligence error. But what about the weird letter allegedly written by Mohamed Atta, the Egyptian hijacker-murderer with the spooky face, whose “Islamic” advice to his gruesome comrades – released by the CIA – mystified every Muslim friend I know in the Middle East? Atta mentioned his family – which no Muslim, however ill-taught, would be likely to include in such a prayer. He reminds his comrades-in-murder to say the first Muslim prayer of the day and then goes on to quote from it. But no Muslim would need such a reminder – let alone expect the text of the “Fajr” prayer to be included in Atta’s letter. Let me repeat. I am not a conspiracy theorist. Spare me the ravers. Spare me the plots. But like everyone else, I would like to know the full story of 9/11, not least because it was the trigger for the whole lunatic, meretricious “war on terror” which has led us to disaster in Iraq and Afghanistan and in much of the Middle East. Bush’s happily departed adviser Karl Rove once said that “we’re an empire now – we create our own reality”. True? At least tell us. It would stop people kicking over chairs.

AZ, I dont support, nor participate in the current political system in this country or any that are currently in the world, especially heavily centralized ones. Having learned and realized that politics is what is wrong in the world, I turned my back on all political systems a long time ago.
The Ideacracy I mentioned several posts back has been asserting itself since about the 60s. It has been pushing the dinosaurs (such as what has passed for democracy heretofore, but which was actually far from it) over the cliff the whole time, and I estimate it will be full blown in a few more years, like from about 2012-13 on. It is the very thing that has been putting all the worlds systems to the ultimate test recently. The Ideacracy is the ultimate system and man has evolved into it. I expect that it will displace all the worlds governments. I say good riddance. They are little but cesspools of corruption, anyway.

The Corporate Media is keeping the American people ignorant of the underlying realities and immediate threat of war.
Missiles deployed next to Russia’s boarders and aimed at the Russian people is an offensive move. This amounts to barefaced aggression, that combined, as it is, with the Bush Gangs thrust into central Asia—when taking together as a single political phenomena in time and space— is a policy of encirclement, the sum of which can only be understood objectively as the positioning of missiles in Eastern Europe for a first strike offense against Russia .
Todays headlines indicates that the Bush administration has succeeded in their aggressive effort to initiate a new round of wasteful cold-war type arms spending on top of the existing expense of the Iraq war and new levels of waste created by the corporate-military-debt complex for the purpose of Empire Expansion in Eurasia.* INSANITY! The Bush gang and the Neonazicons must be placed in the docket and charged with war crimes and extraordinary crimes against humanity. US citizens must order the arrest of the Corrupt Elite and brake the back of the Fascistic Corporate State (control of political representation and elections by corporate lobbyist with a neo-fascistic ideology, for examples—Bushism and AIPAC; Bushism and the oil, pharmaceutical, the banking, and finance lobbies with Congress and the Bush gang; Bushism and the Corporate-Military-Debt-Complex and the Federal and State governments; Bushism and the Neonazicon’ political organizations along with their think tanks: Bushism and the the corporate media: the Bush administration and religious fanatics).

· The Cost of Bush’s War against the People of Iraq at $ 477,819,697,187. Also, According to Nobel economist Joseph Stiglitz, the Social Cost of this War for replacement of equipment, medical care, family crisis, job loses, etc now approaches Two Trillion Dollars.

10-4, AZ. For other “readers” I don’t speak, but for me, I await the right moment as all the forces are aligned in just the right way. At this juncture one has to be moved by perfect timing or one is lost in the stampede at the starting gun. I will know when it is time, as I’ve been here before and I knew the time then. One’s attitude is all-important. Keep yours and don’t waver. And await the time.
The Internet came into being to this very purpose, a species neural system evolution not only to defeat (by operating as a beefed up immune system) what turns out to be an invasion quite like a deadly virus invading a single human organism, but to “metastasize” ideas throughout all necessary components of humanity as though human thought were a kind of bloodstream. To this end, the Internet must come of age, that is, mature to perfection, before it may be employed as an integral part of the organism (humankind) for which it evolved. And so, while your plea does not fall on “deaf ears,” so to speak, it still falls outside the scope of the right moment. But don’t let that stop you from keeping on keeping on, as the right attitude is the most vital component man has at his disposal at this time.
Greater forces than man are at work here and the Bush/Cheney/Neocon/Israeli gang is “under the gun” at least as much as said criminal cartel has the gun in its hand.

Bush and Cheney are nor enemy combatants as a friends suggested today, but War Criminals and Murders.
The phrase enemy combatant has no standing in International Courts. It is a fiction created by the Bush gang and is currently used by Neonazicon ideologues because it allows these rightist (via the Bush administration and the U.S. Courts) to undermine the Geneva Convention and because it validates their lies and is used as cover in the treatment of prisoners of war. The Geneva Convention has stipulations about the treatment of the interned as well as covering treatment of captured soldiers in battle, and the Convention establishes Articles and these apply to the treatment of civilians in war time via established protocols, understandings, conventions, agreements, and stipulations, also recognized in formal treaties that cover military prisoners and conditions of civilian status along with other related obligations during wartime, armistice, and in peacetime.
The United States is a signatory to the Geneva Convention.
The Neonazicon and the Bush gang, along with corporate and financial gangsters for which they speak are co-conspirators in the current War, soon to be many wars or a World War, growing out of their desperate War for Conquest: they are co-conspirators in war profiteering and in mass murder on behalf of privatized investment and extension of the Capitalist Empire that benefits leading corporate contractors, military producers, war profiteers, plunderers, power brokers, and a handful of trillionaires that aim to impose their will on the world. So, these thugs are not combatants as such, although they are definitely WAR CRIMINALS.
The Bush Gang war-mongers (supported by most of Congress, the Justice Department, the State Department and the Federal Courts) have violated the Geneva Convention and have ignored the Nuremberg protocols: in the past they have, and are presently implicated in the events of 9/11 and this has been shown by 9/11 Truth and others: the Bush Gang has launched their illegal War of Aggression Against the People of Iraq in violation of several international treaties of agreement that make their wars of Aggression illegal: the Bush Gang has moved against the will of the American people: they have subjected the Iraqi people to Shock and Awe and to an ongoing military OCCUPATION: and, as we now know, they have lied to American people over and over about WMD and the necessity for a Crusade: meanwhile, the Bush Gang has covered their crimes with government and corporate secrecy based on a phony excuse about national security while working against real security of this nation and against it’ people: Bush & Company (the gang) have distorted the national interests of the United States as though these were somehow identical with their self-and-class-interest alone, as if the nation of the United States is something separate from an informed and knowledgeable American people or with an empowered democratic public rather than the dictates and criminal activities of the Criminal Cabal: the Bushites and their League of the Unjustice have willfully sought to destroy the future of human community and have moved to endanger, and, ultimately to wipe-out all species life on planet Earth.

(A) establish a World Empire through Conquest (as outlined by PNAC along with direction from the sympathetic Cheney/Rumsfeld doctrine and organizations),
(B) have sought to advance tyranny and a docile, chipped, and controlled population within an Orwellian fascistic type society,

Ray McGovern provides a summary of the Empire thrust when he refers to the War Against the People of Iraq as,
1. for Oil,
2. for Israel,
3. for Logistics
The work of Ray McGovern and his former CIA associates (much the same as the extensive analysis of Chalmers Johnson, Mike Whitney, and warnings by Gore Vidal) are pedagogical rather than propagandistic, they hope to provide the American people with a workable summary and clear general outline coming from a deeper understanding—of the inner workings of the American Empire by exposing some of its’ dominant features, maneuvers and connections. They avoid gross oversimplifications about this war such as the claim that its cause, as such, is all about oil or about George Bush’s relation to his father or speculation about the US military testing new weapons systems or about Cheney’s business connection with Halliburton because, while these symptoms are typical in most Empires and thus re-appear along the time-line of Empire, these analyst see beyond these momentary phenomena, and look instead, to the inner structure, dynamics, and operational principles of Empire Gangsterism and to its planned thematic: they watch the American Empire expand along with its growing internal contradictions: the three writers mentioned avoid the pitfalls of political and/or economic determinism, by a sensitivity to context and audience, by a use of history and sociology they investigate reality as a critique of policy (they look at intention and motive) and often base their criticism largely on an unstated methodology that draws on a multi-variable analysis and multi-leveled assessments of the aggregates and crimes of Empire in terms of its’ inner and outer dynamic, its’ structure, and they do this as public watchdogs that aim to expose the asserted principles of power, and policies of Empire from the perspective of critics, as opponents, skeptics and scientist, and as artist.
Rather than isolating a single cause with everything else explained as an effect, these opponents and critics of Empire investigate the range of organized, unorganized, and adjacent conditions of real phenomena in a field of empirical events and facts and thus use this knowledge to expose the interrelated complexity of these causes that lead to these Wars of Aggression and Empire and manifest its’ attendant gangster-ism and its’ acts of aggression, murder, occupation, its political slime, by intensely watching persons, organizations, institutions, and by analyzing real forces and policies; they watch its’ flow of money, tends, culture, and ideas and they taking into account both material and contextual conditions as well as human needs that shape-up in contradistinction to the inhuman principles used as excuse and untruth by our enemy to advance, as well as justify, the Empire of Capitalist Inequality-Domination-Privatization and Exploitation—the American Empire that now launches wars for fun, profit and conquest. These opponents do this as critics of this dominant American Empire and its institutions and values. And these critics are positive because they also defend the United States Constitution and The Bill of Rights. And when and if the Tyranny is allowed to become full-blown it could be curtains for the critics. But these critics are also politically organizers and they are artist of differing talents and skill.

My point is, rather than using enemy combatants let’s name the Bush gang, and the Neonazicons, what they really are - WAR CRIMINALS. They stand historically in the long line that marched behind the Pharaoh’s and historys tyrants, and now they defend the madhouse of nuclear chicken, the line of Neo-Fascist Tyrants and pin-headed degenerates that are Suppressors of Humanity.
Speaking of opposition, I read somewhere that there is at least one indictment for war crimes that has been placed into the German Courts. So there exits one example of formal charge . . . thus, for American, one political task of the people is to support this indictment while working on other multiple fronts in order to help bring these War Criminals to trial, and, ultimately, to justice: the chorus line of Neonazicons that dance beside the Bush Gang, their tap dancing profiteers, plunderers and cheering pirates, the lobbyist that support the Corporate Domination Show (with 24 hours of uninterrupted commercials) gyrate together for a corrupt government and private interest and concentrated monopoly that they call freedom. Their freedom is our cage. Our aim must be to place them all together all for one, as they say, in the docket within the International Courts of Justice that are established to try War Criminals -to try the Criminal Cabal essentially for War Crimes against Iraqis and Americans, and for 9/11, and on behalf of the tortured.
People around the world must see that we Americans judge these crooks and warmongers as harshly as they do, because we must realize that the U. S. government and its’ corporate masters are subjectively unable to self-investigate, objectively unable to self-regulate or to stop their War Crime behavior and conduct. They should be made convicts. These culprits have gleefully initiated their War of Aggression Against Iraq and have purposefully carried out the murder of more than a million Iraqis and a reported four thousand or more American citizens: the American people must call this Government of this Bush era to JUSTICE.

We must either take them to The Hague or initiate a Revolution that throws the bums and murders out. That choice must be placed before the American people. It is up to the American people to end the Neonazicon’ warmongering tyranny, to close this era, and to bring their fascist design, their asses and its Empire aggression to an end.
Listen-up! George Bush and fellow gang members YOU ARE ARRESTED. These are the only words that carry the weight and resolution necessary to solve the threat from the Neonazicon fascist and the Bush gangster’s administration. Dear reader, I ask, do you have the teeth or the badge to make this arrest?
The current system cannot be reformed. The corporate parasites who control it will not voluntarily give up their power or the loot they have stolen. Look how the financial cost of running for office has become more expensive and largely prohibitive with each new election cycle. The Establishment and the Piratical Elite have, an emergency back-up plan; they have the means to fix the outcome of elections and to rig the vote count. Being elected to national and state office is now reduced to airing commercials. The fix is in, the vote count cant count when it need not count for the capitalist thieves; and it is, has been, and can be hacked or pre-programmed to the advantage of the establishment (capitalist) selection of candidates for office. Elected representatives are bribed by hordes of corporate and finance lobbyist that do the biding of the Plunder Elite, who via surrogates and lawyers write the laws and regulations, including the election laws state by state, and these flunkies insure domination of the Party Duo-opoly the structure is fixed to insure that the dominant parties cannot be voted out of power.
So, I ask the reader: You’ve seen what needs to be done, so you can tell the rest of us how to do it.
We need practical, perhaps revolutionary, solutions.
You have an opportunity to tell the rest of us exactly what needs to be done when and how. Further, you have the responsibility to tell us exactly how it can be done. We all have some idea of the problem, we need solutions, so what is next?
I am optimist.

He said that you folks take yourselves way to seriously, and that we Real Chosen were in the shoes that that you wannabe’s, the Jews, only pretend to be wearing.
Sorry, hoss, but it’s what God told. And you know, God’s Word is final. How may I alter it? I couldn’t have argued your case for you even if I had wanted (which I didn’t want, of course,) because I would have been arguing with God after He came all the way from On High just to converse with me, His Numero Uno. Why do you suppose I have this surplus of intellect? It’s because God gave it to me, right? Why did He give it to me? To be Hisw Numero Uno, of course. Ha, ha, ha.
Now be a good dog and go sit in the corner and lick yourself, ITZP.

I normally do not make movie recommendations. Today I make and exception.
I watched it last night.
A friend sent me a DVD with the title ZEITGEIST ( I roughly translate this from Deutsch as spirit of ‘these’ times.). It is a stunning documentary and in one portion it provides personal testimony by firemen that survived the collapse of the Twin Towers on 9/11. These NYC firemen were located, for the most part, in the sub-basement floors or in the streets nearby and they witnessed, as they tell us, what happened -that they felt and heard and experienced demolition explosions (or cutter charges) going off and a few of these fire fighter were injured by these multiple instrumental explosions. Those who share their experience speak for others who can not, because unlike many of their coworkers they survived and managed to escape before the Towers collapsed. Many accounts of witness were annihilated by death but their truth and their stories are not lost. All in all, the presentation by the surviving firefighters about these demotions along with other witnesses and researchers are so numerous as to be conclusive. And, this is but one portion of this video.
The major themes in ZEITGEIST cover:
(A) the cosmological origin of monotheistic religion, the symbolic (and polytheistic) meaning of the Yeshu Messianic folktale, and the physical phenomena that form the ground of religious mythology that have become the basis of the Jesus movie. ZEITGEIST outlines the methodology used by organized religion in its’ fundamental effort to dominate government and culture and to peddle their uncritical Sky-God system of belief that requires human submission and financial donations.
(B) many aspects of 9/11, including expert testimony by a retired FBI Director who points to the horrid events of 9/11, the downing the Towers, the demolition of Building 7, the blasting by a missile of a large hole in the Pentagon, the crashed a passenger Plane in Pennsylvania, with the expertise of an Agent-Director as he compares these events with other false flag operations, and with other political plots aimed at creating alarm —- 9/11 as a quote planned, organized, initiated operation one of many that are launched periodically by a Criminal Cabal for the purpose of social control. [Fear + Hate = Power] These False Flags are the work of Inside Enemies, 9/11 is an inside job and the political motives of this Criminal Cabal are now exposed for all to see.
And, ( C ) the men behind the curtain (a who done it, how, and why?).
The movie is visually, artistically and intellectually spectacular if such adjectives are appropriate in this tragic and outrageous circumstance. So, listen with one’s full being rather than with one sense alone: if you do, you will hear Paul Revere shouting his warning anew, a call that travels from house to house, and from village to village, while rousing American citizen’s to revolutionary action. The murderers that did this must be taken down.
Make the effort and find the time to view this movie in full.
And, if you should rent, barrow, or if you should purchase ZEITGEIST be aware that during the first several minutes of opening commentary the screen is black - -it is that way intentionally, a technique, that I suspect, the producer used to challenge the viewer to become present with one’s own mind, to apply your analytic power, to give your attention to facts, and to unleash your imagination from distractions while being singularly focused on the immediacy of the now.
And, a last suggestion, brace yourself emotionally. For as I saw,once again, Americans jumping to their death it emotionally re-generated my rage at the Neonazicon bastards, it inflamed my determination and my drive to see the Criminal Cabal placed in the docket and charged with murder and treason.
9/11! Just so,

Hi Peter and thanks for the message. You actually beat me too it, since I was (at some point) going to attempt to say at least some of the things that youve pointed out, to make my position a bit clearer, as far as the whole Ron Paul thing has exploded. In all honesty, I think many posters who are normally clear headed about most issues, have become inflamed by ideologues who have put a nasty sort of a flavor out there in our cyberspace arena, turning it into a competition of sorts, (at least in their own minds) instead of a discussion on the issues and the pros and cons of all of them. (including those things that dont seem to be of any major concern to most us, in comparison with what you have so correctly noted as the extreme danger that were in, in rapidly becoming a police state).
And believe me, I AM aware, (I suspect more than you know) of how disastrous and critical those issues are. But bear with me here. Ive known it for YEARS, and have experienced the PANIC of it long before the rest of the population even knew what hit us. (and many still dont). So, by NO MEANS am I disregarding that. Please understand that.
I should ALSO say that I HAVE listened to more recent speeches from Ron Paul, (remember, I was a Texas resident for nearly two decades, so Im aware of Paul from way back when, because of course hes been a representative of that state for many years). So, I had an opportunity to form an opinion on his basic positions, (the bigger picture) long ago. And, I can tell you that this Libertarian stuff is NEW. Its a political tactic that sort of re-makes him in the eyes of the populace, to offer a better choice (at least perceived as such) for a public that is FINALLY catching on to the fact that their formerly beloved repugs are a bunch of low-down dirty bastards. So, the whole Libertarian thing is a new look to try and separate himself from the standard group/ideology that he represents, which is the standard REPUBLICAN conservative concepts. In other words, Ron Paul could have, at any time in the past 20 plus years, actually RUN on an Independent or Libertarian ticket, if in fact thats what his beliefs and ideals truly are. But, he has NOT. And, if you look at his record, youll see that he always (98% of the time) votes in line with the most conservative of repugs. The war issue was indeed a departure from that, and we could, if we wanted to, question HIS own reasons, for standing away from his party on that issue, since I dont believe them to be the SAME reasons for many of the others who argued against the war action from the very start. And yes, while so many people here seem to forget that, there WERE MANY who opposed this illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq from the beginning. Congress people just like Ron Paul. Cynthia McKinney, Barbara Lee, and Barack Obama, (though Obama was in the Illinois Senate at the time) along with Senators like Bernie Sanders. So, Ron Paul was NOT the only one, though he was the only Republican now running for President. Im not dismissing that, but I would like to find out what his objections were, because it is actually very different from his previous congressional behavior.
That said, I DO understand this maneuvering, and Im NOT disrespecting genuine patriots who have their priorities that are equally important to all of us. Im not dismissing any of that, nor am I dismissing typical republican voters who want to remain true to the basic ideology of that party. (for many voters, depending on state, it would require actually re-registering for a different party) I ALSO acknowledge that at least SOME of what Ron Paul says, DOES sound attractive. So, if Ive failed to say that before, then I should acknowledge that now.

Part 2
However, there are TWO main concerns that I have with that, and the first one is probably the lesser in the big picture. First, I dont believe that Ron Paul can accomplish the bigger concerns of you (and nearly all other voters) such as the
Police State and the trouble with the economy, which actually probably stands as the absolute biggest concern to anyone even partially aware. And, in part, (as for the whole police state issue) its because he cant, nor does he want to. (IMO Ill have to check to see what he has to say about Blackwater, and all of the other private armies that operate both domestically and abroad). On the economy, I also know that he cant help, at least not the way hes proposed to do it. Now, maybe he honestly does believe his own rhetoric, and may be sincere. Ive indicated that before. And, that has in fact been his focus for at least a decade, (Ive recently checked his list of publications and thats what most of them are about money, gold, god, the economy, the IRS). Ive not yet read any of them completely through, but Ill plan to.
STILL, what hes saying all sounds wonderful. Who among us wouldnt be delighted to be free from the burden of paying income taxes? Well, MOST of us, because in the past many years, its MOST of us that are carrying that load. I should remind you however, that Ron Paul is not among them. So, while it appeals to the majority of us, how realistic is it, to simply do without the system entirely? Because THAT is what he is advocating. Hes advocating a way to eliminate income taxes entirely, and in his state, 1 of only 3 in the nation, theyve LONG since done away with state income tax. (Actually, Im not sure TX ever had it, it was admitted as a slave state, when the economy was based on cotton, so they may never have had such an income tax) This seemed of course, to be an advantage for me, when I lived there myself. But in reality, it didnt save me a whole lot of money, because I didnt EARN those big bucks. (salaries for most blue collar workers in that particular state, as well as Florida, are much lower than they are on the west coast) Still, it was a minor advantage for me, but guess what? It was a HUGE advantage for Halliburton, Chevron-Exxon, etc, etc. IE, Tx is a corporate HAVEN. It is corporate haven for the military industrial complexas well as parts of the Insurance industry.
So, back to the tax thing. While most of us would love to be released from such burdens, stop for a moment, and think about what taxes actually pay for, (or are supposed to pay for) and ask yourself how those funds will be alternatively provided, if we DONT collect them via an income tax. In some cases, property taxes, sales taxes and things like tolls for parts of the infrastructure can help. But even in states that DONT collect a state income tax, they are either shortchanged on the things that most other state residents take for granted, and..they STILL require the bulk of what the federal government DOES provide to states. (i.e, Texas and Florida receive more Federal aid than California for basic stuff like education, or other social services) even though California has a much larger population. BUT, California collects a State income tax. (only TX,NV and FL dont) NV can supplement easy enough, since they DO collect taxes on some of their industry that is otherwise illegal in most other states. But TX is left pretty much in a poor state, for the majority of the state, because unless one is in a high rent district that benefits from the property taxes, basic services are very limited. (transportation, education, social service programs, public services, etc)
So, a good portion of what these states miss from not having their own tax collection system, ends up coming from the feds. How fair is that? And, what will we do if we have NO tax system at all? (which is what he advocates). How will these basic services be funded?

Part 3
Im not suggesting that there shouldnt be a major OVERHAUL of the income tax system, because there should be. When middle class and poor workers are paying more into the system than the wealthiest of the wealthy, something is obviously going to be out of whack, and thats exactly what has occurred over the past 7 years, as the repugs have drained the national treasury, while continue to provide tax CUTS to the most wealthy, as well as the corporations. BUT, THAT is not the agenda that concerns Ron Paul. Hes not talking about getting the wealthy to pay their fair share, because he is, and always is, a capitalist and a rethug at heart. So, his agenda requires basically ABANDONING the system as it exists, and replacing it with we know not what. Or, at least we know that what hes suggesting as an alternative would never work. So, as scary as all the rest of it is, SO IS THIS!
His is NOT a new approach on this, because in his state, they tried to kick this off over 10 years ago, at least with the SS thing. They were encouraging folks even back that far, to switch to privatized accounts, instead of paying into the SS system. More recently of course, this was also a major part of the Bush agenda, they came to office, (remember, these are all the same group that moved from Tx to DC) and they had every intention of pushing the same onto the rest of the country. BUT, outside of TX, folks werent going for it. So, it became one of the few planned disasters that DIDNT take place. And yes, I do reasonable fear that it is part of Ron Pauls agenda, to pick that up again, even if its packaged differently, and claims to be part of his now Libertarian plan. As an old friend from TX would say, same shit, different smell. These are NOT minor concerns. Im not saying I HATE the man, but these ARE legitimate concerns for the long term well being of the populace. ALL of us.
These are just a couple of the long term effects of a Ron Paul agenda, and Im not saying that on the surface, it doesnt sound great. I AM however, considering the longer term dangers that he doesnt address. Im not kidding when I say that he will dismantle ALL social service programs, because hes said as much himself, and his voting record indicates his position on these things. He may claim otherwise, but the bottom line is that he doesnt believe ANY of these things, (education, medical attention of ANY kind, housing, child care for working parents I could go on) should be paid with ANY federal or state income tax monies) Now, we take these services for granted, because for the most part, depending on where we live, theyve always been available. But, when theres no way to pay for them, how do we suppose its going to happen? And, do you trust your STATE to provide for all of that? What if you dont LIVE in a wealthy state? What if you live in a poor state, where most of the population is now either without jobs, or very underpaid? (RP was AGAINST raising the minimum wage). What if your state cant collect all that it needs from sales and property taxes?
As for the war thing, I couldnt be more pleased at his promises to get ALL of our military out of countries where we simply have no business. And, Ive ALWAYS felt that way. I also know that this particular issue, IS actually do-able. It would NOT be a difficult thing, to bring them all home, and theres no reason for them to be all over the world. So, he need only say the word. But, WILL HE REALLY? That remains to be seen. (then again, I hope not). Now I cant say if any other candidate will COMMIT to that, but I do believe that its doable if they wanted to. Ill also say that several other candidates HAVE committed to bringing our troops out of the Middle East, including Richards, Edwards, Kucinich, Obama, and Gravel. So I reject the notion that only Kucinich and Paul have offered this, because its simply not true.

Yes, I DO understand the fix that so many people feel themselves to be in, because our own party/electoral system for selecting our leaders is HIGHLY flawed, leaving MOST of us in a position where we feel we are forced to selected from the least of the evils, based on who we believe has the best chance, instead of the person whom we would really like to see. This is a major travesty for all of us, and its largely why were in the position that were in now. I dont have any solutions. I wish I did. All I can say is, vote your conscience, even if it doesnt seem like that person has a chance, based on what the major media, (and even most other posters here) have to say about it. And, there is still time. I wont pretend that it isnt a daunting task, because were not going to find one or more candidates that satisfy the needs or even the perceived wishes of the entire population. But, if the last 7 years havent proven to you what a dangerous bunch the repugs are, (at least with these neoconners) than I simply dont know what else would.
Now in a later post, Ill get into the Constitutional thing, because thats where I find the Ron Paul message/promises to be MOST dangerous. I dont think folks understand just HOW dangerous it would be to basically dissemble the Constitution as we know it today. And, while I understand that to be the biggest attraction for supporters of Ron Paul, I also realize that most people dont really have a full grasp of what that involves. And, I think he knows that as well. Hes nothing if not a very slick politician. And, Im not saying that because I harbor some extreme HATRED for the man, which is the way so many on this board have tried to make it appear. I say it because in reality, MOST politicians are that way, to a greater or lesser degree. Its just the way it is. Its the same reason that so many people have such unfavorable opinions of lawyers. And, I understand that as well, even though it is my own field now that Ive returned to academia. (Law & Society). Fortunately, my own field offers a more pluralistic way to utilize a legal system that benefits more of the population, and not just the rich or the powerful. But yes, it DOES require returning to the basic concepts and accomplishments of the Constitution.
This is NOT the first time in our history that a president has violated portions of the Constitution. It IS the first time in history that they have been violated to the extent that they have been with this gang. So, its perfectly understandable for all of us to jump at any sign from anyone who claims to be willing to return to the rule of law, as guided by the Constitution. HOWEVER, just as the tax system needs to be REPAIRED, (not demolished) so it is with the Constitution. That is NOT, and I have to repeat this that is NOT what Ron Paul plans to do. Rather, he plans to cherry pick what he wants, from the eras and portions that he wants, and reinterpret that Constitution in his own conception and/or understanding of it. This would be a VERY DANGEROUS AGENDA; REGARDLESS of WHO was promising it. If Dennis Kucinich was mouthing this same rhetoric, Id have to cut him loose, and even go so far as to warn against it. If Barack Obama was suggesting it, it would be the same. Now, I might be slightly more trusting of a candidate making such suggestions, if in fact they had ANY legal background. Ron Paul doesnt. And, thats not a smear, but its not his thing. OK? Hes a physician, (though I doubt hes done a whole lot in that arena in the past 20 or so years, if only because of his job in congress kind of hard to be both a practicing doc and a congressman), and yes, he IS a politician, so he would, (or should) be at least familiar with the Constitution, and the rules of parliamentary procedure.

Still, there are many politicians who are not. Thats why we have an entirely different branch of government: THE COURTS to decide Constitutional issues. HE is NOT a professional of that branch. He is a member of the legislative branch, and that simply does not qualify him, (any more than you or I) to make decisions about that other branch of our government, which is exactly why the founders set it up that way to begin with. It is supposed to act as a Separation of Powers, between these branches. The fact that we have lost that, is very much the reason that were in this horrible mess.
Ron Paul is NOT going to fix it, even though it may certainly sound that way, based on his rhetoric. Ron Paul has already stated that he would just as soon do away with that branch entirely, and hes CERTAINLY made many legislative moves that would diminish the power of the courts. That is dangerous, and we see that as it has transpired. (Gonzo, Ashcroft, Clarence Thomas, and many, many others that have been placed in these positions by this administration, or similar ones before it). But here again, just like the tax system, we dont need to DESTROY it, we need to REPAIR it.
So again, this is NOT about me hating Ron Paul. It IS about me seeing him in the same light that I saw in the disaster that I knew (well in advance) would come from Dick Bush. I didnt believe then, nor do I believe now, that George Bush, -ALONE- could create this disaster, though I knew he would be bad. His Governorship was a preview. But with Cheney in the picture, and all of the neocons that have consistently worked behind the scenes to destroy the system, (and it is THEY who put him in the position to begin with, to do exactly what has been allowed to happen) and an equally corrupt Congress, we have what we have now.
Now, back then, I was accused of these very same things. Oh, you just hate George Bush. That was NOT the case, though I would admit that I wasnt fond of him for all of the reasons that have since become known to the rest of the world. No, it was the COMBNATION that I was concerned about, because I do know what and how these people think. (meaning this branch of the conservative party). And, let me warn you that even those words have taken on new meaning, in a new era. Let me also remind you that Ron Paul, for all he may say, is STILL not that far off, ideologically, from the rest of that bunch. Theres a REASON why he is in the repuglican party, and hes always supported his cohorts in the past, INCLUDING Tom Delay, who served the adjoining district.
Language is OVERWHELMINGLY important. Dont let ANY spin doctor fool you. Look at ALL of the issues, including the long term issues. ANY of these candidates, can if they choose to, end that interference in the middle east. They can also bring our troops back from Korea, Japan, Germany, etc, etc. IF THEY WANT TO. And while none of them has made a direct commitment to do it, (knowing that its more than a notion to dig out of whatever agreements have made, that we may not even be aware of) not all of them have expressed a desire for endless war. In that respect, there are several to choose from, including Richardson, Obama, Kucinich, and Gravel. Kucinich is better on health care, than ALL of them. (I know that Ron Paul is NOT gonna budge on that he WILL continue to support the Insurance Industry as the middle man, in what drives the costs up, for those who can in fact afford it. But, he will make ALL medical care even less available, for those who cannot.) That isnt a good thing for our collective survival. Just dragging down more and more of the population to levels of poverty is NOT gonna help, even if YOU personally, can manage to be one of the few who can remain afloat. In the end, it still doesnt help you, if nobody else around you has anything. Even your guns will not save you from blackwater, if in fact you really are concerned about what has already become an Authoritarian State

Now, Ive not yet read your link, but I WILL. I have a feeling, (as I mentioned earlier) that I already know what has you so alarmed. Ive been that way since December, 2000. Actually, before that, because of living in Tx, where this was already the environment once GW became the Gov there. Now Ive already checked pretty thoroughly, on Ron Pauls congressional record, to know for myself, how he interprets the Constitution. BUT, admittedly, Ive only listened to or read a few of his RECENT speeches/statements, and none of what Ive heard or read so far, has given me any real information on exactly HOW he plans to return to the Constitution. So, Ill make it a point to read more of those as well. Because at the end of the day, that is my own biggest concern. Im very, very, worried about the long term damage that could come from such a radical reorganization of our entire system, because I believe the Constitution to be a fundamentally solid blue print to work with. I believe it to be so well done, and mostly so well managed over the Centuries, to be perfectly easy enough to repair. I dont think we have to throw the baby out with the bath water though.
Oh, on the special interests thing, including the Lobbies, and the one that most folks here are particularly concerned with. I DO believe that Ron Paul is sincere on his troubles with the Israel lobby. I dont doubt that at all. I DO have some troubles with what I believe his reasons are though, which are not necessarily the same as ours, on a more human rights or universal concern. I also dont believe that he is antagonistic to ALL special interests. Not at all. I believe hes JUST FINE with BIG OIL, and I believe hes basically just fine with health care for profit, (including the middle man) as well. At least thats what his congressional record leads me to believe. And, while he may not APPEAR to be supported by the loudly boisterous corporate America that we all see as the evil that it is, there is a much quieter, but still equally dangerous number of ideologues that both fund and support him, in the most silent of ways. Here again, Im only talking fact, that cant necessarily be known to all, if weve only just begun to pay attention to him. History matters.
Or, you may not care, and I respect that. I just believe that all people need to know the real deal, so that they can then allow their own reason and conscience to properly direct them. While he may not have one big Oprah behind him, hes got lots and lots of other almost as big organizations, or at least ones with plenty of money, who just arent as loud about it as Oprah, or as transparent as the others like Hillary and Guiliani. Dont be fooled. Orange County, Ca is indeed HIS, from the looks of things, and they DO have some major bucks. And, its all private. They only share with those who will maintain their interests in KEEPING it private, and in their hands. Other such enclaves are dotted throughout the country, and especially in all white areas that are determined to stay that way. That too, is not new. Awful as it may sound, the truth is that this nation was established that very way. The results of this ongoing gentrification/privatization may not have reached you yet. Still, it is not something that Ron Paul is going to stop. Rather, it would become far worse.

Of course, Robert, all the highest placed in the 911 conspiracy have been promoted and will be taken care of as long as the criminals most highly placed are in charge. The lesser criminals that actually set the charges, flew the planes and did all the grunt work, have no doubt been murdered by now by the special hit squads operating within the black intel network. And all the other folks around the periphery of it that can kiss and tell will continue to be murdered until everything is clean and shiny for the biggies. Its just the way of the beast.

FtF, Peter…Just think about how much Paul Wolfowitz and the rest of the zionist neo-cons know. Most, if not all the “classified information” and other specific details regarding 9/11.
Just think about the threat of leaks and blackmail these zionist neocons have for arsenal on GW & Cheney! Paul Wolfowitz and his zionist buddies could ask for just about anything from this current administration which is almost totally controlled by AIPAC and infiltrated by so many zionists.
There are NO surprises here in regards to Wolfowitz new job title in this corrupt administration. Its either comply or the leaks/blackmail will surely start to surface from various locations.

And yes, it IS AMAZING!!! Its more and more amazing every single time, and yet we continue to see this, over and over and over again. Its become an historical hallmark of this administration. Because I can honestly say that while there have been many screw-ups by those in the higher places of the government over history, and some have indeed escaped relatively unscathed, (with zero accountability) there has NEVER been a time when theyve gone on to continually screw up (and SO drastically) and continue to maintain that same level/placement of power and control.
So, keep in mind that Wolfie was one of the signatories to the PNAC. Ive always believed that Condi the Rice has far less real control or influence than it might appear. Believe me, if she wasnt doing their bidding, she surely wouldnt be sitting in that chair. Still, if and when the fall ever comes, Im thinking Condi is NOT going to have the same protection that all of the rest of them provide for each other.
In a backstabbing crowd like this one, (and as things eventually fall apart) shes gonna be one of the first eliminated. For now though, shes highly placed to carry out her orders, like putting Wolfie in yet another job, that allows for such dangerous influence and consequences.
Heres another line that for the past 7 plus years, has become a staple (or like a journalistic template) for nearly ANY news reported on the thugs
.according to two department sources who declined to be identified discussing personnel matters ..
They are ALWAYS anonymous sources. Seriously EVERYTHING they do with the business of we the people, is ALWAYS secret!!! Its like people have become adjusted to it now, and THAT is really sickening. How did we somehow begin to accept this so widely?
Anyway, thanks for this. It was posted on the democrats unity site, and on a few other sites as well, so Ive already had my moment of utter disgust. On the dems activist site, it was listed among a dozen or so other things that the congress has remained UTTERLY SILENT about.
Meantime, just saw a pop-up on the news reader, that Israel is STILL accusing Iran of trying to build a bomb, even though its finally been proven, (even by our own people to be a lie which Ive always known myself). How they continue to get away with it is beyond me, and always has been. BUT, at least the rest of the world is now onto them, and that should hopefully count for something.

Of course, Robert, all the highest placed in the 911 conspiracy have been promoted and will be taken care of as long as the criminals most highly placed are in charge. The lesser criminals that actually set the charges, flew the planes and did all the grunt work, have no doubt been murdered by now by the special hit squads operating within the black intel network. And all the other folks around the periphery of it that can “kiss and tell” will continue to be murdered until everything is “clean and shiny” for the biggies. It’s just the way of the beast.

An Old Face Resurfaces
The Bush administration has offered the former World Bank president a new public service position.
By Michael Isikoff | NEWSWEEK
Dec 10, 2007 Issue
Don’t ever say the Bush administration doesn’t take care of its own. Nearly three years after Paul Wolfowitz resigned as deputy Defense secretary and six months after his stormy departure as president of the World Bankamid allegations that he improperly awarded a raise to his girlfriendhe’s in line to return to public service. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has offered Wolfowitz, a prime architect of the Iraq War, a position as chairman of the International Security Advisory Board, a prestigious State Department panel, according to two department sources who declined to be identified discussing personnel matters. The 18-member panel, which has access to highly classified intelligence, advises Rice on disarmament, nuclear proliferation, WMD issues and other matters. “We think he is well suited and will do an excellent job,” said one senior official.
Wolfowitz, now a visiting scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, will replace former senator Fred Thompson, who quit over the summer to run for president. Although officials declined to say how Rice came to choose him, Wolfowitz began his government career in the 1970s in the State Department as an arms-control expert; he forged a relationship with Rice during the 2000 presidential campaign, when they both served as top foreign-policy advisers to the then candidate Bush. But his selection has raised more than a few eyebrows within State because he’ll be providing advice on some of the same issues that critics say the administration got spectacularly wrong when Wolfowitz was pushing the case for the Iraq War at the Pentagon. (One of the department sources called the appointment “amazing.”) At least Wolfowitz, who did not return calls seeking comment, will have like-minded company: other panel members include Robert Joseph, the former National Security Council official in charge of Iraq WMD intelligence, and ex-CIA director James Woolsey, both strong allies during the Iraq debate.
The sources said Wolfowitz has already accepted Rice’s offer to fill the part-time position, though it won’t be announced until the completion of a standard check for conflicts of interest. But he won’t have to worry about any complaints from pesky Democrats. The position doesn’t require Senate confirmation.

About Ron Paul.
Report thisYou made your distaste for the man persistently and perfectly clear which has forced me to crystalize my own opinion about him. Do I trust him? Could I vote for him?
The answer is an unambiguous-yes. But this calls for some clarifications.
I trust Ron Paul would stop immediately our insane agressive wars which have morally degraded this Country to a level of Nazism. (Of course, it goes without saying this would mean the end of our War-Lobby influence).
I trust Ron Paul when he says he will re-establish the respect to the Constitution (at least to the pre-911 level)and abolish the Police State we are beginning to slip into.
As for the rest of his program ,I don’t give a damn ,and I frankly think is- nonsense.I have some knowledge of Libertarian ‘philosophy’ having followed Ayn Rand’s writings (‘The Virtue of Selfishness’, ‘Atlas Shrugged’ etc) and can affirm it is as idiotically utopian as Marxism, with a difference that former can never organize masses.
Having said this, I have to add that Ron Paul is not my favourite man. Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich are my ‘ex-equo’ favourites, which just shows to what extent issues ,other than War and Civil Liberties, are of negligible values to me- in this election.
Presidents have power to stop the wars and lift the practical state of emergency in which we live in, and -that is all we can expect from them. Anyone of these three above can (and would!) undo the damage Bush and his AIPAC masters have done to this Country.
I think the situation is much more catastrophic than you imagine. Here is a link to make you think about it.

I am not a political animal and I support no candidate(s), nor have I ever done so, much for the same reasons I don’t watch TV or involve myself in other forms of mass hysteria. For the most part, I exist well outside the mainstream. I do mention an individual from time to time, in passing, that may be a politician, but I don’t believe in, nor am I a supporter of, any political system on earth except to the extent that I exist and my presence is capable of being co-opted in some way, such as taxes. I have always existed alone and am alone even in a crowd. I have never felt part of any crowd, although I have certainly been in the midst of some crowds.
As I have mentioned several times, I have never met or heard of another like unto myself. And I like myself so much and feel so good with myself that I am pretty much satisfied with being alone. There have been a lot of pretenders to the throne of unique individuality upon which I sit, as so many have attacked my citidels in a never-ending “King of the Mountain” game (or “fastest gun”) in which, for me, there are only losers, as I can’t be “de-throned.” It’s because I am what I am, not a pretender. I don’t even know what it is to pretend to be what or who I am not, as there is nothing or nobody else I have ever heard of or imagined that I would rather be than myself. But then, this is only one of my many “differences” that alienates me from humanity, right?
I said all that mainly to make the case for saying, thus, how could I be a political animal and believe in any politician irrespective how sterling he/she may appear?

When there is an attack against Jews anywhere in the world, the Israeli government is incensed, so why when our religion and pride are hurt, dont they take harsher measures? he asks.
Peter, this may very well have something to do with 9/11. One thing we know for sure, is that this part of the statement has been true for as long as the Zionists have been working on putting together a totally Jewish state and had decided that it would be Israel. (They actually started working on it back as early as 1917).
And, this gangs mentality is that they are (as the piece says) INCENSED when anything happens to Jews anywhere in the world, (doesnt even have to be an attack as we think of what an attack would be) and yet theyve always felt perfectly free to do whatever they want, to anybody else, wherever they want, and whenever they want. Its just the Zionist way.
Now of course I always have to caution that not ALL Jews are Zionists, and I only throw that in as a matter of course, because I know so many Jews who are as critical of Israel AND its policies as we are. Now of course those are American Jews, and thats the difference.
On the other hand, I PRESUME that there are Israeli Jews who feel the same way. Im never gonna find out, at least not from visiting there. since I dont plan to ever do that. Then again, I admit its kind of difficult to avoid the area for anyone who wants to help out in the Palestinian Territories since the Israeli military runs everything there as well, including the court system, which is a grotesque farce.
Meantime, Im with PeterRV, spit on ME, and Im gonna do my best to kick ass, even if I go down in the process. That brings to mind one of many stories from my former career. A former co-worker had a passenger spit on her, because she was in the process of preparing the cabin for landing, (which meant among other things- collecting all service items) and he was DEMANDING that she bring him another drink. He called her several nasty names, (she was African American) and eventually spat on her. Her knee jerk reaction was to haul off and whack him so hard, that he flipped up out of the back of his seat. I was pretty amazed, since she was such a little woman, and very mild mannered. Still, what does any reasonable person expect to happen, when they spit on somebody?
Anyway, just to show how justice worked then, (and now) SHE was fired, and the belligerent spitter was provided with a free ticket for his next trip. And so it is, in corporate America, and especially if youre a Zionist Jew.
(little did she know at the time, that the ‘firing’ was probably the best thing that could have happened to her).

Cyrena, I must correct only one tiny spot for you. I didnt intend to write that my IQ was the highest ever measured, but I wrote in the highest ever measured.
Well Franker, I do appreciate the correction, because these details, (even when seemingly very minor) are in fact very important. Kind of like the translation of the Iranian Presidents take on the Jewish holocaust in Europe. People love to claim that he has DENIED that the holocaust ever occurred, when it fact that is not what hes ever, ever claimed. Rather, hes said that particular holocaust was USED to CREATE a MYTH, that the Jews somehow became eligible (my word) to create their own against everybody else. (specifically the Palestinians).
Now, in the case of your IQ measurement, this tiny detail may not be all that important, and besides I kind of liked thinking of you as having the highest ever measured. But still, if we want to remain consistent, we have to keep the details straight.
Matter of fact, I was just discussing that in a class earlier today, in reference to The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. It required all citizens to return run-away slaves. Needless to say, that meant that all of those involved in the underground railroad of helping slaves escape, were in violation of the law. And, since there were massive violations of that law, (because it was an immoral law) it threatened to undermine the entire legal system. Quite a paradox, eh? Studying the legal structure during that time in history can actually be quite depressing. But then, watching it fall apart during THIS time in history is pretty depressing too. Still, it forces us to wonder when it becomes necessary to revamp or otherwise abolish laws that are not effective. And, if a law is immoral, its not likely to be effective.
But, I stray. I wanted to add a serious warning on Ron Paul. And, because of the fact that Ive already written myself crazy on this topic, (and probably will continue to do so) Ill keep it mostly short for the moment.
Ron Paul is NOT, (and I repeat NOT) what he is presenting himself to be at the moment. In short, Ron Paul is a racist, and hes probably a misogynist as well. So, if hes not of the Zionist mentality, its ONLY because hes a racist, and has no use for Jews, just like hed just as soon dump the entire population of blacks and any other people of color at the bottom of the closest Ocean. So, this is fair warning on Ron Paul and his disciples. Im already fed up to my eyeballs with them, and his campaign is inflicting upon me a most horrible sense of déjà vu, from the time of the Dick Bush campaign, when the groupies were jumping on that bandwagon, and claiming what a good and sincere guy he was. My ASS!!
So, while Ron Paul claims to be a strict constitutionalist, and an advocate for privacy rights, hes a rabid anti-abortionist, and would overturn Roe v. Wade in a heartbeat, if he got the chance. Now of course we know that the question of abortion was decided long, long ago, by Roe v. Wade, and that decision was based, (at least in part) on privacy. Yet, Dr. Paul has no qualms at all, about deciding what control women should have over their own bodies, and hed probably be just as happy for us to go back to the days when women couldnt vote either. So, just beware of nutcases in Congress. Check his voting record before deciding how sincere he is, and about what. I for one, am not ready to return to the days of covered wagons, slavery, or little house on the prairie and home schooling.
Consequently, these tinfoil hat Paulies that are running around here waving flags and banners and proclaiming that freedom is the message, are getting on my very last nerves. Theyre as bad as the Jehova Witnessers that bang on my door on Saturday mornings, trying to get me to re-live the Old Testament.
And, that is one VIOLENT piece of literature.

Well, Peter, when one reflects how “holocaust shy” (as in “gun shy”) Jews proclaim themselves to be, it is odd that the Zionist persuasion of Jews promote and even commit with their own hands the genocide of peoples all over the globe and in their own back yard, the Palestinians. The only people Zionist Jews don’t like to be holocausted are themselves. But isn’t this the old story: don’t do as I do, do as I say do.

Cyrena, I must correct only one tiny spot for you. I didn’t intend to write that my IQ was “the” highest ever measured, but I wrote “in” the highest ever measured. I might have mislead you here. I should have written “among” the highest. My mechanical aptitude has scored in the top three percent of all those measured. ITZW would say I surely must have accidentally scored that high just by getting 97% of the questions correct, which would mean I am the luckiest man alive. (Of course, I feel this way, anyway, just because I am that I am.)
I have theorized that there must have been a hole in the ozone layer over the spot I was conceived, sort of constituting a “ray gun” effect that shot a load of mutagenic elements on my parents at just the right moment, which evidently mutated my genes, as, for intelligence, I am as unlike the family into which I was born as a giraffe would be to a herd of zebras, or a mouse to elephants. Imagine if you paired two mice and conceived a rhinocerous. This is what happened to me. The only way it could be accounted for, short of divine intervention, is a very rare massive gene mutation. In my earliest years I quit identifying with humanity, as I was unable to reconcile the differences I was finding. As the differences continued to toll, I just decided to quit considering myself human at all.
I still don’t identify. When I make a mistake, for instance, I don’t say, “After all, I’m only human!” I don’t genuinely feel that that option is open to me, so I just take my licks for being wrong when it happens, learn from it, and go on. This certainly spells that I am not a Zionist Jew human being, right?
You told it right when you wrote that all Zionists are not Jews and all Jews are not Zionists. Rudy Jewly-Annie is an example. To be sure, all the current presidential candidates except for what appears to be Ron Paul fit in here. Indeed, just about the entire U.S. government is Zionist, but all of these certainly are not Jews. Where Zionist Jews seem to cluster and exist in a clear majority is around catastrophic criminal enterprises such as 911, bankster frauds, massive imbezzlements of moneys (in the $trillion$), genocides around the world, and the general ruination of the U.S. establishment. Although Jews constitute only several percent of America, Zionist Jews cluster in the range of clear majorities (80%-98%) in the said enterprises related to perdition.

Christians in Jerusalem want Jews to stop spitting on them
By Amiram Barkat
A few weeks ago, a senior Greek Orthodox clergyman in Israel attended a meeting at a government office in Jerusalems Givat Shaul quarter. When he returned to his car, an elderly man wearing a skullcap came and knocked on the window. When the clergyman let the window down, the passerby spat in his face. Advertisement
The clergyman prefered not to lodge a complaint with the police and told an acquaintance that he was used to being spat at by Jews. Many Jerusalem clergy have been subjected to abuse of this kind. For the most part, they ignore it but sometimes they cannot.
On Sunday, a fracas developed when a yeshiva student spat at the cross being carried by the Armenian Archbishop during a procession near the Holy Sepulchre in the Old City. The archbishops 17th-century cross was broken during the brawl and he slapped the yeshiva student.
Both were questioned by police and the yeshiva student will be brought to trial. The Jerusalem District Court has meanwhile banned the student from approaching the Old City for 75 days.
But the Armenians are far from satisfied by the police action and say this sort of thing has been going on for years. Archbishop Nourhan Manougian says he expects the education minister to say something.
When there is an attack against Jews anywhere in the world, the Israeli government is incensed, so why when our religion and pride are hurt, dont they take harsher measures? he asks.
According to Daniel Rossing, former adviser to the Religious Affairs Ministry on Christian affairs and director of a Jerusalem center for Christian-Jewish dialogue, there has been an increase in the number of such incidents recently, as part of a general atmosphere of lack of tolerance in the country.
Rossing says there are certain common characeristics from the point of view of time and location to the incidents. He points to the fact that there are more incidents in areas where Jews and Christians mingle, such as the Jewish and Armenian quarters of the Old City and the Jaffa Gate.
There are an increased number at certain times of year, such as during the Purim holiday.“I know Christians who lock themselves indoors during the entire Purim holiday, he says.
Former adviser to the mayor on Christian affairs, Shmuel Evyatar, describes the situation as a huge disgrace. He says most of the instigators are yeshiva students studying in the Old City who view the Christian religion with disdain.
Im sure the phenomenon would end as soon as rabbis and well-known educators denounce it. In practice, rabbis of yeshivas ignore or even encourage it, he says.
Evyatar says he himself was spat at while walking with a Serbian bishop in the Jewish quarter, near his home. A group of yeshiva students spat at us and their teacher just stood by and watched.
Jerusalem municipal officials said they are aware of the problem but it has to be dealt with by the police. Shmuel Ben-Ruby, the police spokesman, said they had only two complaints from Christians in the past two years. He said that, in both cases, the culprits were caught and punished.
He said the police deploy an inordinately high number of patrols and special technology in the Old City and its surroundings in an attempt to keep order.

These are both such delightful (and informative posts). Now you realize of course, thats gonna get me back into the deepest of shit with Inherit, who actually does post some worthwhile things sometimes, that I can in fact appreciate. But, hes stuck in that dreaded all or none, either/or mindset, that doesnt allow me to agree with him on occasion, and also appreciate those he has determined are bitter enemies.
That said, your post on the characteristics of the Zionest Jew is excellent. Because, theres just no getting around the truth, even when its ugly. And, realistically speaking, I dont know why anyone would want to. Denial may be acceptable for emergency moments, (must like the body or mind goes into shock) but hey to practice this for life is a dangerous thing.
Still, I wanted to add just one thing to your exposé on the Zionists, and others on these threads will certainly remember that Ive said this before, and on many occasions. Not ALL Zionists are Jews, and not ALL Jews are Zionists.
My favorite part of the other post, (which just always delights me) is when you allowed us to know that your IQ is the highest ever measured. Hot damn!! I love it!! Seriously. I dont think anyone else can appreciate this stuff quite as much as I do. So, Ill just call it a private joke.
I was equally impressed with the fact that you could lift that pickup truck. (though admittedly, they arent my favorite vehicles but I think thats just an emotional sort of a thing if somebody GAVE me one, Id certainly make use of it).
Meantime, Ive lost my phone. (again). So if your I.Q has anyway of directing me to it, or it to me, that would be outstanding. If not, I understand.

In responding to Zionist 911 lies, I have modestly revealed a little bit about myself.
Now, for the benefit of ITZW and ilk, I will reveal the basic character of the Zionist Jew, which boils down to four (4) perennially recurrent characteristics, in the following order. He is: 1) treacherous; 2) an ass kisser; 3) a whiner; 4) a murderer.
If the ZJ cannot get his way (which always seems to be control, control, and control, all for nefarious purposes such as plundering the wealth of those who have rightfully earned it by the sweat of actual work), through treacherous activity like lying, cheating, conniving, stealing, he drops automatically into an ass-kissing role. If ass kissing doesnt work, he shifts gears and begins whining about how sorry his lot was in the past, but never in the present, as his lot has never been at all bad in the present. Thus, he has to manufacture tales of the past, amply embellished for effect, and cries out, Oh, woe. Woe were poor us. Oh, woe were we. Never woe is us, however. As the present Zionist Jewish predicament is never bad enough to complain about, right?
When all of the above three inbred character traits fail to serve, then the Zionist Jew resorts to his most basic Self, which I purposely left for last, the murderer. He simply ratchets up the fever pitch of his first characteristic trait: treachery, and employs it to the design of murdering anything and anybody that may be standing in his way. For Exhibit A, I give you September 11, 2001, the WTC Towers, and Washington D.C., at the Pentagon. I give you the senseless, mindless murders and destruction that took place on that infamous day, and the rash of promotions and monetary enrichment of all the Jews most highly placed in the affair, including the mayor of New York City, just to name one.
The Zionist Jew had simply been kissing ass and whining too long to no avail. Now it was time to get down to the business he knows best: treachery and murder. Thus, the historic, infamous 911 episode for America.
The enthralling thing about it is that I am glad it happened, as it finally exposed this slinking, stinking Zionist Jewish rat that has been gnawing at the vitals of America for too damned long, for what it is, as stated hereinbefore.
Take heart, America, your enemy has not won yet, but only fired a few salvoes of treachery into your innards. I learned long ago the truth of two clichés, The darkest moments sometime come before the dawn, and, There is a silver lining in every cloud, even the darkest.
Thus, let us look a little closer at those dark clouds boiling above, and also wait the dawn, which just may see rats annihilated in gigantic and irresistible mousetraps.

Hey ITZW, I AM greater than Leonardo DaVinci, depending upon what one is measuring against. For example, I’ll bet Leonardo couldn’t have lifted a P/U truck off the ground at age 68 (assuming he could have had one during Renaissance times.) I’ll bet my IQ is higher than his was. I won’t tell you what it is, but it’s WELL above that of most Jews (a group whose average IQ exceeds the average of all other groups measured.) Mine is in the highest ever measured.
Leonardo did not know the secrets of the atomic nucleus. But I do. He didn’t know anything about unifying the scientifically recognized forces of nature, but I do. He was not conversant in the science of relativity, general and special (and how it communicates with quantum theory,) but I am.
Leonardo and I would have been good friends, as the case has been with all the highly intelligent that I have ever come across in my life, though no doubt he and I would have been good natured rivals over which one could do the most diverse things. It would take a Leonardo to compete with me, as I have not met another like unto me in my whole life of 68 years, in which I have enjoyed zero competition, a life in which the likes of an ITZW couldn’t begin to constitute a pimple of serious rivalry (in anything, especially in the intellectual realm) on my butt.

Cyrena,
I appreciate your kind words—You had said I was shitting on you (rather crude) and I took that to mean you took my posts personally. Im glad you dont.
Re-read what Non-credo said:
I have explained that a similar mechanism is involved in the cooptation of the Democratic party, especially members of Congress, into the war agenda, accomplished by leveraging the political and propaganda clout of the pro-Israel lobby. This is EXACTLY the kind of thing that Krugman is talking about with respect to racism and its uses.
Lets all try to wonder for about one second why he doesnt dare make this connection himself.
NC talks about the Israel lobby, then says Krugman doesnt dare make this connection and Lets all try to wonder why.
If you cant infer that NC means because Krugman is a Jew, then I just dont get your thinking. You understand racism and bigotry—dont you get the code words here?
You also mistake disagreeing with me to being incompatible forms of thinking. Tony Wicher disagrees with me vehemently. But dialog is possible.
People who argue that the Jews are the cause of all the trouble in the world are those in which its either me or them. I dont consider the right of existence and even safety of myself and my family to be a debatable point. (Ayn Rand was the first to make that point totally clearly in Atlas Shrugged)
Your pal Less Frank Than Frank feels just the opposite—of course, he claims expert status at 500+ professions so hes either even a greater genius than Leonardo da Vinci or hes just lying and plain nuts. I vote for the latter. (that means hes changed professions every month for 40 years—and became expert at each in a month—sometimes the math show just what a liar someone is).
Robert consistently gets all his quotes from highly biased and suspect web sites. His favorite is Michael Rivero who has be TOTALLY discredited—The National Enquirer is more reliable. Robert also responds to criticism with a whirl-wind of invective, insults, unsupported accusations, but never any facts—hes incapable of formulating an original idea.
Aryan-tologist is a racist, pure and simple. He has 5 or 6 posts proving how the Jews secretly and demonically dominate America that he recycles over and over.
The one who calls himself PatrickHenry{ thinks its a fine insult to call me a woman. Im not insulted, but its not correct (Id make a damned ugly woman—my beloved wife thinks Im handsome, in a rugged-sort of way—but shes totally biased, of course). Considering what so many women are capable of (starting with my beloved who used to solve matrices in her head for fun) I actually think its a high complement—and a fine goal. But PH thinks its an insult…what do YOU take from that?
Thats my point.

Franker Than,
Of COURSE I had to set the priorities straight regarding your dog. It was cruel. I still terribly miss my own Sweetpea, since she died nearly 2 years ago. At some point, I may get another. But for now, there can be no excuse for causing you to scowl in front of her, though Im sure shes recovered by now. Dogs are like that.
As for this on nilnuts..
Any intelligent entity would be compelled to feel a modicum of compassion, even if he had to use bug spray.
Not me. Nope, no compassion here, not even for a stupid gubby like nilnuts. IF I thought he was indeed a true believer then maybe, possibly, Id feel a little bad about using the bug spray on him. But, I think hes an arrogant cocky intern, who thinks hes playing others for fools, and at some point, the shit is gonna backfire on him, and he will have done it to himself, just because hes stupid on top of being arrogant and cocky. Hes about as much of a true believer as george bush and his karl rove sidekick. And, hes only a hairs width smarter than the asshole Lee that keeps attacking me on the other threads, since Lee probably IS a true believer, and a hate-filled moron to boot.
http://www.truthdig.com/avbooth/item/20071111_oil_is_king/
And, theyre ALL dangerous but generally only to others, since they’re already so messed up themselves, that theres little more damage that could come to them. (which is why Id have no qualms about the bug spray).
I remember you telling us about the TV thing. It resonated with me like a soul connection, because Ive always been very ambivalent about the TV myself, and have lived without it off and on since I was very young. I remember during one of my long periods of not owning one, that my sister said the same thing that your own friends did. She simply could not fathom my not having one. So, one turned up at Christmas time, a joint gift from the entire family. When it crapped out, (or maybe I gave it to somebody, who knows) I never replaced it. Like you, it just never much interested me. Id honestly prefer to read a book then and now.
But, now I do have one, although its rarely on. Occasionally, Ill watch a lecture or debate aired on the Univ. Campus channel, if its something/someone that I want to hear, and dont feel like getting out to attend in person. And, there are even a couple of series dramas that I enjoy. Criminal Minds is a favorite, but half the time, I get involved in something on-line, and forget to turn it on. Im pretty much a news junkie, but no real news is ever on TV, so if I didnt have one, I wouldnt miss it anymore than I ever did before, when I didnt have one. I can get what I need to know from on-line sources. That hasnt always been the case, because the alternative media that I rely on has only come about as a result of the internet, and the need to produce something more than the BS that passes for information via the MSM.
OK, now I have to go read up on the New Capitalists: Law, Politics, and Identity Surrounding Casino Gaming on Native American Land.. Ive never been much of a casino gaming person myself, just because I dont like losing my money, and thats what Casinos are for . Theyve gotta take SOMEBODYS money.
This however, is quite interesting, because of the attitudes and resentments that white Americans have about Indians making money. They obviously dont have a problem with the Vegas or Atlantic City types changing them for such entertainment, but when the Indians do it, it drives them nuts. Makes them less authentic since Indians are just posed to be poor and confined to the Rez, minus any political identity of their own, or any independent means to economic viability.
It continues to amaze me to witness the overwhelming hypocrisy between what people say, and what they actually think. (if thinking is what they wanna call it).

Cyrena, your concern for my innocent dog is priceless. The poor thing doesn’t see me scowl much, as I am so constantly happy. The sun might not shine tomorrow, as the sun is not so constant, but I will be happy tomorrow, and the day after that and the day after that and the day after that… Thus, it was a cruel act on the part of nilnuts even to pretend that he believes in the truth and make me scowl in front of my dear dog. It reveals the animal lover in you, which is something that could instruct any human being that is trying to rise above his/her own inborn, inbred animalistic human tendencies (such as those possessed by the ilk of nilnuts and the gubby black ops dept), right?
Speaking of nilnuts, I almost have some compassion for him/it, thus revealing what a splendid being I am that I can condescend to such a level even to feel sorry for his/its sorry lot. As nilnuts is what you could call a “true believer.” Most (all?) gubs are. If I awoke to discover myself a true believer I would consider it a sore infection, a hostile invasion of not-me’s, a gross failure of my immune system that protects my cerebrail processes.
A true believer is the adult non-innocent mental version of the innocent child that believes the tooth fairy exists because every time one’s deciduous tooth is pulled and placed under the pillow and the child sleeps, “bingo,” some money appears in place of the tooth in the A.M. It could only be the tooth fairy because mummy said it was and mummy always tells the truth, right?
Some folks, especially true believers (in the tooth fairy), such as nilnuts, gravitate toward gubby positions in life while simply trading one mummy for another, never weaning themselves from the apron strings.
This insane asylum out here is a big, scary world, right? Thus, “HANG ON TO THOSE APRON STRINGS FOR DEAR LIFE, GUBS (BUGS?)!”
If mummy, Big Gub (Bug?) says black is white, or down is up, then black is white and down is up. Mummy must have a good reason for telling it or “she” wouldn’t tell it, right?
Then, with such gubby claptrap in hand, nilnuts and ilk go forth in the world proclaiming, “The tooth fairy is real! The tooth fairy is real!”
Any intelligent entity would be compelled to feel a modicum of compassion, even if he had to use “bug spray.”
The strange, surreal, almost Twilight Zonesque aspect to it is that they actually garner adherents among the teeming masses. I have always marveled at this, but there are people that will suck up anything (as vaccuum cleaners) that gets in front of them.
The pity is that nilnuts and ilk will never know the splendor of standing on the strength of their own
convictions, even if it means severing that apron string. Again, it’s like the TV set I turned loose longer ago than I can recall, when horrified folks told me, “How will you live? How will you know anything? How will you stay current?” I must reveal it was not hard to do without, as TV never dazzled me much. I was simply too intelligent, even in my youth, to ogle at it very much. I preferred living my own life over watching others live their’s.
Thus, nilnuts and ilk are horrified that I say, “Stand on your own convictions and let the gubs suck eggs.”
“How will we live, how will we breathe, how will we prosper? How will we not all die and go to hell?”
Ha, ha, ha. My answer to nilnuts and ilk: “The same way I do it all without the TV set.”

Nilirot, ha, ha, ha. In yo’ face, suckuh!
Yes, we mental patients pay taxes.
You know those “little green men from Mars” that created all the bizarre “new sciences” in the official 911 conspiracy theory, in which such absolute laws as the conservation of energy were magically neutralized just for that one occasion in history?
Well, these same little green men of yours are in here (in the insane asylum) with me and they are extracting taxes from me. Yes, little green men from Mars are actually taking my money and calling it taxes.
When was the last time you were inside an insane asylum, anyway? Evidently it has been a while, because these little green men of yours come in here every so often and take taxes from me. They even told me they are using those taxes to plot another 911. Since you know them better than I do, how about asking them how much more money they will need before they can pull off another 911? Also ask them if Zionist Jews will run the show again. Also ask them if the prez will be reading another goat story to school children and if he will behave as bizarrely as Bush did. Also ask them if the Secret Service will behave this time as if they are charged with protecting the life of the prez instead of just standing around gawking while America is ostensibly under attack by a foreign government.
Also, ask them to make up a better story line for the next 911. I mean, who the hell could believe a bunch of Muslims on a religious jihad would spend their last night on earth (before committing suicide by ramming a building) buying whores, getting drunk and gambling in Vegas? This is something Westerners (such as yourself) would do, but not Muslim jihadists. And don’t “float” any more Muslim jihadist ID cards out of the midst of the cataclysm. It looks so unseemly.
What I’m telling you is to advise those “little green men” to get smart. Don’t project onto Muslim jihadists what you would do if you were a jihadist, then make that part of the component of the tale. Actually interview some Muslim jihadists and ask them what they would do leading up to such a fray, then tell the tale accordingly. I mean, you can’t use your own shortcomings to describe the shortcomings of a Muslim jihadist, unless you are a Muslim jihadist. Because you will get it all wrong. It would be like a man that has never seen a banana trying to explain what another man might think while he is eating a banana. See what I mean?
Naaaaaaah. You can’t see what I mean, as you are nilirot, a grubby gubby Zionist toadie, right?

Also, assuming that the neocon cabal (which includes a lot of Zionist Jews) that is astride America right now doesn’t pull off another 911, like nuking several U.S. cities or whatever as a pretext for declaring martial law and installing Bush/Cheney forever (or until they can be deposed by force), let’s hypothesize that there will be another election for prez in 2008 (rigged, of course, as they always are, but then, this is just America where anybody that wears a suit and tie and can rig an election can win, right?) And let’s say that you have a new master in 2008, say, a Demoncrap. Will you just roll over to the Dems as though they are Repugs? In other words, does it matter which master you spam for?
Speaking of which, has any master ever patted you on the head and said, “Good doggie!” And if so, did you look up at him/her lovingly, with fierce loyalty, like a good dog?
Even though you are an Internet liar spamming for gubby, I could look down on you with a modicum of compassion (as I do bugs sometime) if I could be convinced that you have some of the traits of a good dog, as I like dogs.

Nilirot, I came here tonight just to laugh at your antics again, in which you don’t only “skirt” the truth, but are entirely inimical to it (which makes me guffaw at you like I do when I watch a Keystone Kopps episode) but I was floored when I read that you allowed “a slight ring of truth” to Robert’s posting of the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth in relation to Israel of all things.
You actually wrote that there is a “ring of truth in it.” The cabal won’t like it one bit. You could lose your Internet spamming job that we taxpayers are paying you for (in a roundabout way, of course, but everything is roundabout with Zionist Jews, right?)
Speaking of which, are you an Israeli national that works for an Israeli spamming op—such as ADL—in which you are paid by we U.S. taxpayers via aid doles to Israel for its many nefarious pursuits (which includes perping 911, bombing the U.S.S. Liberty, etc.,) or do you spam directly for the cabal that is astride America at this moment? Not that it matters, as we taxpayers are footing the bill in either event, right? I just like to know what the thieves look like that are plundering my tax monies.

“truth,” because it just ruined my guffaw. I was about to laugh when I came to the part about your allowing for a modicum of truth in your post. Not only did it ruin my belly laugh, but it tampered with my considered (and considerable) judgment that you are incapable of uttering a truthful statement.

High-Fivers and Art Student Spies
What Did Israel Know in Advance of the 9/11 Attacks?
By CHRISTOPHER KETCHAM
03/07/07 “Counterpunch”
Choking off the press coverage
“There was similar pressure brought against the media venues that ventured to report out the allegations of 9/11- related Israeli espionage. A former ABC News employee high up in the network newsroom told me that when ABC News ran its June 2002 exposé on the celebratory New Jersey Israelis, “Enormous pressure was brought to bear by pro-Israeli organizations”—and this pressure began months before the piece was even close to airing. The source said that ABC News colleagues wondered, “how they [the pro-Israel organizations] found out we were doing the story. Pro- Israeli people were calling the president of ABC News. Barbara Walters was getting bombarded by calls. The story was a hard sell but ABC News came through the management insulated [reporters] from the pressure”.
The experience of Carl Cameron, chief Washington correspondent at Fox News Channel and the first mainstream U.S. reporter to present the allegations of Israeli surveillance of the 9/11 hijackers, was perhaps more typical, both in its particulars and aftermath. The attack against Cameron and Fox News was spearheaded by a pro-Israel lobby group called the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA), which operated in tandem with the two most highly visible powerhouse Israel lobbyists, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (itself currently embroiled in a spy scandal connected to the Defense Department and Israeli Embassy). “CAMERA pep- pered the shit out of us”, Carl Cameron told me in 2002, referring to an e-mail bombardment that eventually crashed the Fox News.com servers. Cameron himself received 700 pages of almost identical e-mail messages from hundreds of citizens (though he suspected these were spam identities). CAMERA spokesman Alex Safian later told me that Cameron’s upbringing in Iran, where his father traveled as an archeologist, had rendered the reporter “very sympathetic to the Arab side”. Safian added, “I think Cameron, personally, has a thing about Israel”—coded language implying that Cameron was an anti-Semite. Cameron was outraged at the accusation.
According to a source at Fox News Channel, the president of the ADL, Abraham Foxman, telephoned executives at Fox News’ parent, News Corp., to demand a sit-down in the wake of the Cameron reportage. The source said that Foxman told the News Corp. executives, “Look, you guys have generally been pretty fair to Israel. What are you doing putting this stuff out there? You’re killing us”. The Fox News source continued, “As good old boys will do over coffee in Manhattan, it was like, well, what can we do about this? Finally, Fox News said, ‘Stop the e-mailing. Stop slamming us. Stop being in our face, and we’ll stop being in your face—by way of taking our story down off the web. We will not retract it; we will not disavow it; we stand by it. But we will at least take it off the web.’” Following this meeting, within four days of the posting of Cameron’s series on Fox News.com, the transcripts disappeared, replaced by the message, “This story no longer exists”.”

Peter,
I believe you. I really do. And, I say that because my own knowledge about this is very limited. Or, at best to say shallow. I wasnt following the details very closely at the time. (specifically the Camp David stuff). I mean I was aware of it, and read whatever the local media had to offer on it, but that wasnt much. (or, it would have been very slanted). It was before I had access to the internet, so I honestly didnt follow it much at the time.
And since, Ive learned a bit more, but here again, its been compact. I only knew that it was NOT successful, those I do have colleagues who seem to think that something was accomplished. For THEM, maybe so. They are not Palestinians however. Theyre Egyptians.
Of course its completely obvious that NOTHING has improved for the Palestinians and that things are only worse. (if they could have gotten worse). I never knew before though, that Hillary was that much on that side of the whole thing. I wasnt planning to vote for her anyway, but this actually WAS news to me.
Now, there WAS a time, when Barack Obama was interested in taking up the cause of the Palestinians, and actually doing something. It would appear that hes become diverted with his campaign. I dont know if he takes any money from AIPAC, but like I said, there was a time .in the past, where he at least appeared to be involved with doing something.
Meantime, cruise over to the thread on Oil is King. And then the one on Kucinich and losing our democracy. Youll see that even though Im semi ignorant to ALL of Israels crimes, (Or, let me put it this way .Im very much aware of Israels crimes against the Palestinians, as well as their 60 year old history of violating every intl law, contract, treaty, agreement, etc, etc) BUT, I had been relatively ignorant, (until maybe a few years ago) of just how much our own politics are governed by Israel. Like, I didnt learn until recently that Sharon had claimed to own us.
So, I just said that to say that I have been relatively naïve, until a few years ago, of just how much Israel was running ALL of our affairs here at home. I honestly didnt know that Hillary or Bill were slaves to them. So, it was a shocker for me. But, Ive trusted you guys to educate me, and youve done well. I trust your judgment on this.
Still, look at that thread. If you read some of the stuff directed at me, youd think I was queen of the Israel bashers. Go figure.
PS, They’re mostly whining about Iran. Now on IRAN, I AM well informed, and so I know better. And, in that case, Israel is making all of it’s own problems, and it’s been just fine with Cheney and his cabal. So, they don’t get any sympathy at all from me on Iran. Iran hasn’t done anything to Israel, though I would agree that the catastrophe of Iraq has increased their influence in the area. But hey…they LIVE there. They’ve been living there a real long time.
So, check out some of my hate threats on the Oil is King.

Report thisHow can you possibly say that Bill Clinton made an attempt to resolve the Palestinian conflict. He did make an “attempt” but that was to give Sharon what he wanted- a final subjugation of Palestinian people.
What he offered Arafat at Camp David was so shamefull that the text was destroyed as soon as Arafat refused to sign it. It was to be the ‘Final Solution’ for the Palestinians.
They do act as a team, Cyrena, only their bond is not their love for each other but lust for power they count to obtain through their devotion to Israel.
Under the guidance of the Jews, Clinton did enormous ravages through the Balkans and Iraq. He is not an unknown quantity.

A.Z. Im dumbstruck. Seriously, I had no idea.
4) Because she took personal initiate (when other member Congress did not choose to supplicate themselves in this manner) to stand vigil at the Israeli Apartheid Wall in Palestine while she denounced the Palestinian people as terrorist.
The rest of the stuff, I knew, which is why Ive never considered voting for her myself. I had NO IDEA that shed made this appearance at that horrific wall, or made these statements.
Now, in THIS vein, (even if in nothing else) I dont believe shes acting or thinking in a team manner with her husband, since he actually DID make an attempt to resolve this age old atrocity, albeit unsuccessfully. Im also doubtful if her husband would have so readily agreed to the destruction of Iraq, since he had steadfastly refused to do it 10 years ago, when the same PNAC team of thugs were trying desperately to take Saddam out back then. Bill wasnt going for it then, but I guess anything can change. Still, I think he was simply more pragmatic and logical in that respect.
So, I dont know what the hell Hillary was thinking when she cast her vote to give the psychopath authority to use force against Iraq. She later claimed of course, that she didnt know. That she thought she was approving the continuation of inspections by the UN, and as well as the sanctions that were already brutal. (and for that, he husband does get to share the blame.) But, even if she didnt know as she claims, it still looks just as bad, because SHE SHOULD HAVE!!!It was her JOB to know. Shes an attorney, she was SUPPOSED to know. If the everyday citizen had at least a general idea, then we should have been able to expect ALL of Congress to know better.
Instead, youve revealed her presence and her remarks at this wall, which simply adds insult to injury. No, Its more than that. Its unconscionable. Its the epitome of what Franker Than Frank said in his post about politicians in general. How DARE she!!
Anyway, thanks again for the info. I really was unaware, in part because Ive paid little attention to her since she did in fact vote to authorize the use of force against Iraq, and has continued to talk about American interests in the Middle East. Its the same arrogant hubris as the current bunch. The imperial Americans.

Good list of standards, A.Z. As for myself, I abandoned all hope in politicians so long ago that I wouldn’t vote for one irrespective what he/she does or says. I have never known a politician that was not a liar. In fact, it’s what the word actually means. To be “political” about something means to be disengenuous, evasive, non-commital, Janus-faced. The one thing it does not mean is “be entirely truthful.”
Some folks say, “But it’s all we have. What else can we do?”
What else we can do is reject the entire thing and ostracize it. It wouldn’t mean the end of the world.
One day I decided that television is just about nothing but mental swill. I packed up my brand new 25” set (that was a big thing at the time) and stored it in a spare room, figuring to use it from time to time for music instruction videos.
In time I told a few friends I had stopped watching TV. They were aghast. “How will you know anything about world event’s, current events? How will you know anything about anything? God, I would die without my TV set!”
This was fifteen or twenty years ago. People that know me don’t turn their set on when I am present—because they feel guilty, I suppose.
However, when 911 came down I was one of, if not “the” first, individual in the nation to know what really happened. I write “the first” meaning that not even one second intervened in which I believed the fairy tale about it. Surely there must have been at least a few other non perps that knew.
Most of the people I know still don’t know.
And so, how has throwing out my TV hurt my knowledge? To the contrary, I have gained.
I said the above about the TV set episode to illustrate that politics and politicians are like the TV set. They can be thrown out. They can be ignored. They can be despised for what they are.
If everybody turned their backs on politicians as I have turned mine (against them and the TV set), the world would not end (except maybe for the politicians.) Indeed, the very opposite could occur, the world could be delivered from evil.
The only alternative to throwing them out lock, stock and barrel is just to watch the wheels fall off, as I am doing now.

I will not vote for Hillary Clinton should she be the Democrats’ choice because
1)unlike Cynthia McKinney, Robert Bird, and Ted Kennedy she voted to give Bush emergency powers to go to war against Iraq.
2) Because of Bill Clinton and his sleazy weather-vane politics (and his policies when he was President) that hurt our nation and the American people, and because the Clinton’s say they are a team.
3) Because Hillary beats the drum for war against Iran.
4) Because she took personal initiate (when other member Congress did not choose to supplicate themselves in this manner) to stand vigil at the Israeli Apartheid Wall in Palestine while she denounced the Palestinian people as terrorist. (And you can note that I will not vote for anyone that receives campaign donations from APIC or from prominent members of the Israeli government with possible exceptions made on my part for Israelis that work with B’Tselem or donations mad by other prominent Israeli human rights organizations or for those Israelis who openly seek full and equal rights as well as independence and I don’t mean autonomy- for the nation of Palestine. These concerns extend to lobbies.) And I can tell you, from the moment I spotted the photos of Hillary Clinton standing vigil in front of the Concentration Camp Wall erected in Palestine by Sharon and the Lukudites, and then read her remarks, I said never.
5) Because she has failed to use her office and public prominence to call for a new and independent investigation into 9/11.
6) And I will not vote for her because of her failure to provide a detailed program for America.
As to the Republican candidates: I will not vote for a candidate that does not openly proclaim opposition to Bush War of Aggression Against the People of Iraq, nor will I vote for a candidate that threatens war against Iran, I will not vote for a candidate that does not call for a reduction in military spending (the major cause of the deficit), for a candidate that does not support the American people, for candidates that avoid the issue of national debt. Nor will I vote for a candidate that will not speak to the historic oppression of the Palestinian people by Israel, or for a candidate that does not call for a new and independent investigation into the events of 9/11.
I apply the same standard to all candidates.

We all know the Republican Party to be a cesspit of characters and ideas, but to defend Clintons who have paved the way ( and still are doing it)for these wars and destructions, is clearly inadmissible.
Isn’t it the time we should put ourselves above this Game of Parties, the warmongers are imposing on us, and get behind somebody who is going to end this dirty business of imperialism which is eating the soul of our Nation?

I have a suspicion that each of us could make up a similar list for the spineless democrats. Anyway, I received this from a friend and would like to share it.
I promise to get back to 9/11 in my next posting. ~Arrow (an independent)
Subject: To be a republican you need to believe:
1. Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton
2. Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush’s Daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him, and a bad guy when Bush needed a “we can’t find Bin Laden” diversion.
3. Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is Communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.
4. The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.
5. A woman can’t be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multinational drug corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.
6. The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches, while slashing veterans’ benefits and combat pay.
7. If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won’t have sex.
8. A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our longtime allies, then demand their cooperation and money.
9. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy, but providing health care to all Americans is socialism. HMO’s and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart.
10. Global warming and tobacco’s link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.
11. A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense, but a president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.
12. Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.
13. The public has a right to know about Hillary’s cattle trades, but George Bush’s driving record is none of our business.
14. Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you’re a conservative radio host. Then it’s an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.
15. Supporting “Executive Privilege” for every Republican ever born, who will be born or who might be born (in perpetuity.)
16. What Bill Clinton did in the 1960’s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the ‘80’s is irrelevant.
17. Support for hunters who shoot their friends and blame them for wearing orange vests similar to those worn by the quail.

Part 1 of 2#112448, and #112464 by Franker than Frank
Franker,
Your posts simply delight me!! Especially the one about the voices. When you relay your experiences in coming to recognize them, I can immediately connect. Its like youre articulating the exact same path that Ive experienced myself; and yes beginning as a much younger and dare I say, dumber person. Dumber may not be a good word, because obviously, if we were in fact dumb, we wouldnt have eventually figured it out. So, maybe just young and inexperienced. And, as you have so well articulated, over time, we begin to recognize it all on the spot.
I think my own largest fault in this process, (creating set-backs that eventually provided their own continued learning experiences) was just in not following through with, or heeding my own intuitive knowledge of those voices. In other words, how many times should one need to be burned or stabbed, or whatever else, to know that they should pay attention to their own common sense? So, Ive definitely been guilty of that on more than a few occasions. And, that has in part to do with a certain degree of immaturity, and maybe even young arrogance. (kids always think they know everything, and can do anything.) And, since I generally didnt take anybodys word for anything, I had to learn all of that stuff through trial and error.
Still, what youve explained about being under constant surveillance is probably the most annoying for me, and it seems to go in stages, (at least in my own experience). And, its back. These voices are coming from multiple locations now, (besides this board) and its annoying as hell, if only because Ive got other stuff to do these days. I agree that its sort of fun, (Im even enjoying it myself now on occasion) but it was far more fun when I actually had time. Here of late, (and specifically in my own much smaller environment, as opposed to just this board of the occasional trolls) its taken on the form of outright harassment, so Im getting pissed off. On the other hand, it serves the purpose of knocking me out of my more laid back approach to things in general. Im definitely of the live and let live mentality. So, as long as nobodys messin with me, I have no need or reason to bother anybody else. (I COULD, -if I had the PM, but I just dont care to). But, start harassing me with bullshit, and at some point, Im gonna be annoyed enough to put it right back, and thats when they get all frantic, because they were too stupid to know what they were dealing with to begin with.
So, the gubbys are after me in full force now, even though the efforts are clearly of the Keystone Kopps variety, and they just keep stepping further and further into it. But, I guess its good practice, (for me) especially after several months of me mostly goofing off. Still, how long can one be bothered with swatting at flies until we just call the exterminator? Its like, Im trying to send diplomatic warnings, that they really might not want to open that box, not knowing whats inside. But, they just keep poking and prodding at it anyway. Then, when the whole thing backfires on em, they wanna look around and wonder what happened. (it happens every time) And of course, it can never be their own fault, just for being stupid in the first place.
Anyway, youre so right about the a/c technology. It has indeed been around for decades, though my only direct experience was several years ago, when a captain did actually suffer a fatal heart attack during a routine flight. I dont remember the airline involved, but the aircraft was a DC-10. And, while the co-pilot was perfectly capable of landing the thing, (since they alternate on the take-off/landing responsibilities anyhow) they did kick in the automatic system on that occasion. And, as the years have passed, the technology is even more advanced, just like everything else.
To be contd.

Part 2 of 2 thanks to Franker
So, while the operation on 9/11 certainly COULD have been orchestrated from Tower 7, (and it makes sense that it may have been, since there was no other reason to destroy that building as well) the scary part is that it could have been orchestrated from ANYWHERE in the entire system, and could have been pre-programmed accordingly. Its not something that I originally gave much thought to myself, since I think most of us are inclined to see what at least appears to be the obvious. Its only later, when the obvious (created) is actually IMPOSSIBLE, that were guided to look beyond it. At THAT point, its real easy to become annoyed, if only because most of us dont accept being lied to at least not about things that so thoroughly affect our lives, individually or collectively. And, we certainly are ALL living with the effects of 9/11 even those who have yet to make the connections, and likely never will. It kicked off this total destruction of our collective existence, at least as a democracy, and were now the same failed state that so many others have suffered, at least as far back as the collapse of the Roman Empire.
And, those who HAVE made the connections, as more and more of the stuff comes to light, are clearly targets. Thing is, how can they keep that many people quiet on this? I mean, how many people can be silenced by rendition, torture, lynching, (social, economic and otherwise) or just outright murder? At some point, some folks are gonna start to notice. And, while MOST may be contained by fear, there will always be the brave few who will come forward, just like the kid who finally said it out loud The Emperor Has No Clothes.
The irony here, (at least from my view) is that its another backfire type operation. By disabling so many, via banishment from the mainstream, be it an economic or socio-political banishment, they really set up an alternate psychological environment that counteracts the very fear that theyve used to maintain the silence and the oppression. In other words, when theres nothing left to lose, the fear becomes impotent. The motivations for staying in place or maintaining the status quo evaporate, because the status quo is no longer applicable to those who have been pushed to the fringes. Its like, people (at least many) begin to articulate the basic question Whats the worst that could happen, that hasnt already? And, its a reasonable question, just as it is reasonable for those who have nothing, to have nothing to lose.
Tao Walker re-emphasized this basic theory in response to an article by Chris Hedges not long ago. (and I like Chris Hedges, because I believe him to be a good thinker, and he has some experience to go with it). But, Tao made that point that - in that piece, (as with many others) Chris was writing from a viewpoint of one who still felt that there was something to lose. In reality, I think that as a collection of citizens of the State, were probably beyond that. BUT, we can at least attempt to stop the destruction. Now of course I dont know if thats likely to happen, because we could have done that ages ago, with the structure/system that was already in place, imperfect though it may have always been. Still, this decline hasnt happened overnight, and there is far too much that simply cannot be repaired. But, we can at least stop the on-going destruction.
Okee Doke, Now I have to prepare a potion for my tormentors, just to keep them at bay long enough for me to get some stuff done. Thanks again for the delightful posts. Very inspiring. I always like it when things click.

Cyrena, one other thing about “voice.”
In my early days when undercover police were dispatched to get close to me and “befriend” me so that I could be “guided” with the design of making a patsy of some kind out of me, I could not discern them from Adam. I only knew that there was a sameness about them somehow, even though they looked like everybody else that was close to me.
Many years went by before I began to realize how I was being used (and misused, even abused, and eaten.) And I began to recognize what was preying on me. There was a big fight at one point: me, versus them or “it.” After the smoke cleared and I saw that I was still standing, I flatly turned them/it off, as I control the spigot.
Well, we both began to wax sophisticated at that point. At first they’d been like bumbling Keystone Kopps, but I didnt know it, as I was young and bumbling, too. I had thought they were ordinary folks like everybody else. When I realized they were far from ordinary, but indeed were eating me for food, I waxed sophisticated mostly to stay alive. As I waxed, they were forced to wax. Whereas they were quite rudimentary in the early stages when I was young and rudimentary, I mean like a Neolithic variety of each of us, as I began to wax mentally sophisticated, they began to dispatch undercover PhDs and Masters of this and that, with the very least of those making undercover contact with me possessing a minimum of a graduate degree of some kind, even if only a Bachelors.
Then I ran into the pro’s: psychiatrists and such. These were the easiest for me to overcome. I owned them even before any of them realized it.
I love psychiatrists and psychologists. They taste sooooo gooooood, and they are sooo helpless. Ha, ha, ha. (A private joke of mine.)
Anyway, when the folks (things?) that were feeding on me realized that I was able to ID them by their mannerisms (body languageanother form of voice), they began to dispatch agents that were less trained in the arts of PM (police mentality.) As I continued to ID them and effectively resist the hungry (ravenous) feeding tubes they were trying to stick in me (like mosquitoes sucking blood), it/they continued to train undercover agents less and less, hoping that I would be unable to ID them by virtue of their training mannerisms. It made no sense to send somebody at me that I could ID while they were still on the horizon, right? It went this way until the principle of diminishing returns kicked in. Now the most they could do was instruct somebody that was virtually a neophyte PM, and say, Go undercover and get the goods on FTF.
What goods? Well, nobody could know, as, if they were told what the goods are, it would be passed on to me (by that stink I mentioned earlier) and then I would know they were gubby agents, which I would resist by turning off the spigot. And so, now the only gubby agents that can get close to me without my knowing are basically non-agents with very little instructions on how to handle me to serve me up as food for whatever it is that is eating humanity. Which suits me just fine. Now we are back at square one, before it began feeding on me to begin with, and I am much wiser for the whole episode in between, but the eater is still not so smart. Behold its bumblings today.
Since I know who, what, where why and how I am these days (sophistication, you see), a grim life and death struggle that was all about eat FTF has become a game for me and it is great fun today. Now Im just a boy and his dog again, and maybe impervious to gubby eaters (may I even use a Hitlerian coin here: useless eaters?)

Re: #112255 by cyrena
Thanks for mentioning that “flight plan uploading” thing again, Cyrena. You’ve mentioned it several times before but it didn’t mean much to me until this last time. As I was reading this referenced post I remembered seeing many years ago a newsreel blurb about airplanes that can now land themselves and passengers don’t need to worry about trying to land the thing themselves in the event the pilots somehow go crazy or are otherwise immobilized. And so this has been the thing for a long time. And of course, if the a/c needed to be landed remotely, this would require, mandate in fact, that the remote “stick” on the ground (or wherever, even in the air somewhere) render the controls aboard the a/c inoperable, making the pilot a passenger, right?
And so I think you’re entirely correct. Instead of “landing” the a/c on a typical landing field, a rogue remote controller would be able to “land” the a/c into the side of any building of choice, in this case, the WTC, and there’s nothing the pilots could do about it because servo mechanisms would have disabled the a/c’s control mechanisms. Considering how bldg 7 was filled with electronic stuff that is still top secret, it could easily have “summoned” the a/c to that very spot. This technology has been out for a very long time, as I recall seeing it maybe in the lat 60’s or 70’s, but it didn’t mean much to me at the time. It means everything now. Thanks for that, and a tip of my hat. I’m sure I now have that together.
One thing about Nillie I would like to point out. I am 100% sure he is a cop of some kind. The way I know is almost like clairvoyance, except not nearly as romantic and esoteric.
In fact, it is quite drearily down to earth. As many know, everybody has a voice, and not only the one with which they speak. We all have writing voices as well. I have taken it much farther than this, however, and recognized that we all have thinking voices and mannerism voices. All of these voices (of which I name only a few here) are as unique to the individual as fingerprints and DNA.
I told you that one of my main specialties has always been criminology, even non- professionally, a hobby. Its just an interest of mine that fascinates me. Well, in all those years (as many as 50+) I learned the voices of policemen and criminals (the same quite often.) No matter how undercover, a cop cant talk to me without my knowing, as I know the voice. (I called it smell earlier.) Do you know your sweet mothers voice? Well, I know generic voices as well as you know your mothers unique one.
It is said of some that they never forget a face. I may forget faces, but I never forget a voice. Once I know ones voice, I can ID it any time I see it, in any of its myriad forms, in writings, mannerisms or vocalizations. The vocal sound of the voice is probably the very least enduring aspect of voice. For me, one can have a vocal chord operation that changes the sound entirely, but I still recognize the voice that the organism projects thru it. And unless he/she has had some extremely intensive training, voice cant be masked. Even with training it is probably ultimately impossible for anybody to mask his/her voice from me once I recognize it. Im just that good.
I said all that to say that this is how I recognize niliroth. This dude is a cop born and bred. Theres no way he can conceal it. He is so afflicted that if I saw him in a crowd on the street I would no doubt ID his voice in the way he carries himself, as said carriage profile is another kind of voice I recognize.
If I were Nillie right now I would say to me, Touché, Master, you got me. But Nillie is a professional cop, and no cop would ever bow to me, because he fears I would take over his world and dispossess him. (Hey Nillie, Ive already done it. Look around yourself and see. Ha, ha, ha.)

Frank the psychiatrists claim that, because he has a small craft pilots license, he is aware that anybody that has a valid pilots license could easily take the wheel of a 757 and fly it like a seasoned F-16 fighter pilot, I must point out that several people have told me this same thing so Frank is not alone here. It means here are other misinformed people just like him with the same fantasy.
if piloting 757s were ..easy, why do airlines pay pilots so much? Why dont they just advertise for anybody with a pilots license? It would be so easy: just take the small craft pilot on a couple of flights to make sure he has the manual dexterity to do the job, then turn him loose on his own.
Not just the PILOTS’ manual dexterity. Can you do the same thing with a VW that you can with an 18-wheeler? Of course not, not even if you had a license for the big guy. Sounds like Franks fantasy. Maybe he needs a psych.
Franker, this questions requires some elaboration, because there is this sort of paradox to this question, maybe a dialectical sort of relationship to the whole thing. Of course we know that airlines do pay their pilots quite well, (or they used to; there are some very serious pay disparities now, between the tiers, and its enough to scare you, but Ill save that for later). More importantly is that airlines have and do pay their pilots quite well, but they ALSO invest a considerable amount of money in training them to SPECIFIC aircraft. Anytime they upgrade, (say from F/O to Capt) they go through training. Anytime they change from say a McDonald Douglas, or Lockheed, or Boeing, or Airbus, to any one of the same, its more training. Anytime they move from a narrow-bodied aircraft to a wide-bodied aircraft, its more training. Anytime they go from straight domestic flights to overwater flights (that operate beyond a radar environment), its more training. And, they have to stay current on all of that stuff. So, even if they dont change aircraft types, they still have to do recurrent training, because the FAA requires it, even if the airline itself doesnt.
And, Im not talking about a week or so hanging around in a simulator, (though that too, is a requirement for any pilot that doesnt do a minimum of 3 take-offs and landings within any 30 day period) but rather some serious training like anywhere from 8-12 weeks, depending on the circumstances. They must also undergo physical exams, by an FAA doctor, and well as the airlines docs. (I cant remember the time frame on that, but like every 12 months, with maybe a 30 day grace period). So, if anybody tells you that if you can fly one airplane, you can fly them all, you should stay the hell away from them. Frank the psych apparently doesnt even know the difference between IFR and VFR, (instrument v visual flight rules). Single engine v twin or more engine, etc. Hes the type that gives controllers nightmares. They get lost and have to be vectored in, a pain in the ass.
BUT, heres the paradox on that. The 757/767 series can in fact be programmed to follow just about any route, and basically fly itself, once its in the air. It cant take off by itself, (though it could land by itself if need be) and it cant do what they claim the airplane did at the Pentagon, just because its physically impossible for that aircraft type, no matter WHO the pilot is. But for sure, the flight plans are in fact uploaded into the flight deck computers on these a/c, and can be, (though they dont necessarily have to be) remotely controlled via that system, leaving the pilots basically powerless.
In my opinion, thats the only way that the a/c at the WTC could have done what we think we saw them do. I dont know of ANY pilot, (and were talking about EIGHT of them on 9/11) who could be so easily taken out by anyone, or who would give up his/her aircraft so easily, without any sort of a fight.
Boxcutters? I think not.

OK Nimrod, lets get this straight. Exactly which choices are you giving me? I either get to be a liar, gullible, or have memory issues? Which oh which should I pick? Tell ya what, YOU can decide for me.
Meantime, just so you understand, I made it very clear that I was indeed familiar with the statement by Rumsfeld, (and others) that We needed a new Pearl Harbor. I didnt remember confirming that on this particular thread, and I was thinking in terms of this particular thread. Still, if you say that I wrote it, (too bad you didnt add a date and time) then it would be because Im very familiar with the statement, and even if I havent repeated it HERE, I certainly have repeated it in other postings, and in my other work as well. So, without a doubt, Im familiar with the statement, and Im now familiar with his more recent slip of the tongue that suggested what many of us have believed all along that a missile hit the Pentagon. (757 passenger jets dont carry missiles)
Now Im sure that I wasnt the first one to restate Rumsfelds suggestion that we needed a New Pearl Harbor, (to advance the agenda of the Thugs, determined long before they orchestrated The Coup of December 2000) And yes, I was even aware of the statement before Dr. Griffith wrote his book. So, Im sorry it troubles you, but maybe you should take that up with Rummy, since hes the one that it was first attributed to.
Im sorry I havent shown the proper appreciation for your adoration, obsession, and longstanding flattery. I mean, for you to go to all the trouble to look through all of my posts, and memorize every word of them, is just more than I can begin to appreciate, so Ill try harder. Do you dream about me as well? Lord knows I should be grateful for all of the free advertisement you bring to my thoughts and opinions. Im starting to feel like Ive finally joined the crowd of the Favorite Professors. Ya know how that goes, all campuses have some professors that are just really popular, because they know so much, and they present the material so well. Thanks for making me feel like such a celeb, even though Ive never really thought of myself as such. Not long ago, Douglas Chalmers even recommended me for Attorney General, but I modestly declined, since there are so many others far more qualified than I am for that position. But, youve certainly managed to assist in building up my reputation as a candidate to conduct a new investigation into the events of 9/11, and Im very qualified for that job, and Id be more than happy to do it.
Still, youre beginning to bore me, so while Ill continue to appreciate your fan mail, and all of the attention, I probably wont have time to respond. Youve pretty much run though your intellectually inferior repertoire, and so theres no intrigue or mystery there to keep me interested. In short, you just dont know anything, and Im the type whos always captivated by people who actually DO know stuff.
But, just so you dont have to quit playing entirely, maybe you could just switch to another idol. I mean, if its just my exposing the lies of the official 9/11 story that has you so captivated, there are millions of others like me out there, who know as much as I do, and probably a lot more. Matter of fact, FTF has already offered to be your special tutor, and hes really good. Ive learned a bunch of stuff from him myself, and a recommendation from ME, is like really the top of the heap. The crème de la crème if ya know what I mean.
So, hell be happy to entertain you and provide some guidance for your employers as well. AND, if you really ARE interested in finding out the truth of 9/11, there are several other ace researchers on this thread as well. Robert, Peter RV, PatrickHenry, 911truthdot.org, just to name a few. Theyve all been extremely helpful to me, and continue to be so.
Toodles nimrod.

Doggone, Cyrena, how come the Jewish lobby, the MS trolls, the ITZW trolls, the niliroth trolls, and others of the ilk are only interested in romancing you, but none of them seem interested in “romancin’ the stone?” You detest it but I love to be romanced by moronic trolls. I’ll bet that’s why they go after you, that you detest it. Also, it must be because you are black and a woman. They feel soooo superior to you. They think they can mentally “rape” you.
However, I am a pretty good judge and I think they are inferior to you. That’s how you knocked me sideways initially by recognizing pearls of wisdom I offered about the 911 fiasco that escaped the others and you actually put it back to me in a way that told me you comprehended it quite well.
And so, demonstratively, you are heads above superior to the gubby trolls that go after you with mental rape on their minds. Hell, I’m superior, too, but they won’t go after me. Upon the shortest few exchanges with me on 911 and related matters, they run away and lick wounds, then flee altogether, flailing their little arms and legs. Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong?
Should I behave more “coquettishly,” naive, even innocent and shy until they are firmly in my spider web, then pounce light lightning and “eat” them before they can get away? In short, how may I entice them to attack me in the manner they attack you? I think it would be great fun if all the trolls tried to mentally gang rape me at once, even if they had me in a strait jacket in the rubber room. But that’s why they won’t do it, right? They know I would love it.\
But then, isn’t that what gubs are all about? If they think you like it, they will pass laws against it and forbid it. If you hate it, then they want you to have it, even be surrounded by it.
It’s like dope. The real reason lawmakers and cops don’t like anybody but themselves having free access to the best dope is because they know it makes people high, and they want people to be low, right? If dope makes people feel good, then gub thinks it’s baaaad. Right, Nillie-poo?

You speak of truth, but you lied about making that statement about “we need another pearl harbor”. That or you have some memory issues. Which is it?
And as far as the quote goes, no one ever said that. It is the name of a book. (fairy tale really) but not a quote. The PNAC document does make reference to
“Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing eventlike a new Pearl Harbor”
However, that is light years away from “we need a new pearl harbor.” anyone with a basic grasp of reading comprehension can tell that. So either you are lying when you use that quote, or you blindly accept what the scam artists in the truth movement tell you. Which is it in that case?
Are you a liar, or gullible?

Re: #112051 by cyrena
Cyrena, I am acquainted with Ray McGovern. He’s one of the famous “CIA 7,” which are pros that have joined together to deny the reality of the official conspiracy theory the govt concocted for rubes (and patsies and Internet trolls.)
For a long time I ran into folks like niliroth, et al., that said, “Show me some pros inside the govt that deny the official story and I’ll be impressed. All I have heard from are kooks.” (As though all non-rubes, i.e., smart people, are kooks.)
When I am able to give them several hundred of the kind of “pros” they requested, all of them screaming bloody murder, the “niliroths” remain eerily silent. Does this mean they are “impressed?”
Also, on the subject of Frank the psychiatrist’s claim that, because he has a small craft pilot’s license, he is aware that “anybody that has a valid pilot’s license could easily take the wheel of a 757 and fly it like a seasoned F-16 fighter pilot,” in all fairness (if it matters) I must point out that several people have told me this same thing. And so Frank is not alone here. It means here are other misinformed people just like him with the same fantasy.
Being a pro himself, and in the psych field at that, I am surprised that Frank lacks the capacity to follow that thought to its most rational conclusion: among others
being that, if piloting 757’s were all that easy, then why do airlines pay their pilots so much? Why don’t they just advertise for anybody with a pilot’s license? It would be so easy: just take the small craft pilot on a couple of flights to make sure he has the manual dexterity to do the job, then turn him loose on his own.
What these dunces do by making the claim that even a very bad (non)pilot such as Hani Hanjour could fly the 757 like a seasoned fighter pilot, is that they put the professional level of large, highly complex passenger craft piloting in the same category as hod carriers (laborers that carry concrete to brick layers.) Or lawn mowing. If you can mow your own lawn, then why couldn’t you mow any other?
Thus, if you can fly any airplane at all, then why couldn’t you fly, say, the Space Shuttle, a rocket ship bound for the moon, or the largest jumbo passenger craft? I mean, what could be so complicated about any of it, right?
I wonder what Frank. or any of the others that possess this delusion, would do if any of them were a passenger on a jumbo jet in which the pilots came to his seat and said, “Since you have a license to fly a Piper Cub, we wonder if you would mind flying this thing to Los Angeles and landing it for us, as we are planning on parachuting out the door in a few minutes?”
Do you suppose you would smell that characteristic odor of somebody dribbling down his leg at that moment? Do you suppose Frank would be pleading for his life, or that he would just reply, “Sure, it’s piece of cake,” and jump behind the wheel like a pro?
And more than that, if Frank were FORCED to get behind the wheel because both pilots DID jump out, do you suppose he could find the precise airport he was looking for in LA? Ha, ha, ha, do you think he could even find LA? Forget LA, do you think he could find California?
Ha, ha, ha, forget it all, Frank would be a dead man in just a few minutes.
So much for Hani Hanjour piloting a 757 with military Top Gun fighter pilot precision.

Franker,
Thanks for the link to Robert Baer. I wish I had time to read some of his books, and maybe Ill just have to make time. (or assign them as reading for a class, which would then allow me to read them myself).
And, I appreciated the video as well. Matter of fact, I appreciate it maybe more than the average truther who has been keeping up with these links and the Alex Jones collection for so long. BECAUSE, I never have had time to search or look much at the collections of these truthers. Not because I didnt believe that they were worthy of investigation, but only because theyve mostly come about in the past say 3 or so years, and Ive been busy with other stuff. So, wasnt I just delighted to discover that all of these people had the SAME questions and noticed the SAME inconsistencies that I had formulated myself, since day one, only to have them confirmed by the Official Conspiracy once it was published in early 2004.
In short, that means that my own opinions have basically been formed without this input. And yet, they are consistent with what these others have noted. And since then, Ive even developed some further ideas as to how it was all accomplished. (thanks to additional information that has come about in the past 3 years, and continues to come about .even stuff that the average person may not connect)
And of course this brings me back to something that Robert said some months ago information comes from the least likely of sources. One just needs to have enough other knowledge to make the connections to it.
So, thanks again. Another of these former CIA professionals is Ray McGovern. Hes part of an organization named Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity. (VIPS) for short. Hes worth a look up if you have time. And, hes written quite a bit. Most of his things have been published at Truthout.org and you can go to their website, and then search their archives for his name. I think he was in the business for like 27 years. Very informative, and definitely not a crazy or a conspiracy theorist in the terms that the deniers like to define as conspiracy theorists.

Speaking of “truthing,” below is another long term CIA official in a long line of such folks (and this one highly respected in more than just the CIA), that says 911 was probably an inside job. How do the niloroth trolls deal with this kind of thing? Does niliroth suppose that somebody would take his opinion over that of the veteran CIA official on this matter?
It’s like the earlier Frank (from which I spun my FTF name) who told us that, as a licensed private small craft pilot, he can expertly aver that any licensed pilot (even a bad one) could easily fly a 757 and maneuver it as they claim Hani Hanjour did at the Pentagon. It would be a piece of cake. He just plucked that one out of the air evidently. Then I showed him a former Navy Top Gun pilot that flew fighter planes for twenty years, that had flown 757’s for twenty years and other such craft for a total of forty plus years, who said that even he could not have negotiated the maneuvers claimed for the 757 in Hanjour’s hands.
I asked Frank whether I should take his “expert” opinion on the matter or that of the Top Gun’s. Then I said, “I think I’ll settle for the Top Gun’s expert opinion about the limitations of a 757 instead of your own extrapolations from kindergarten musings and all of your thirty hours of flying a Piper Cub.”
And so, who’s expert opinion are we to take on whether 911 was inside job, that of a highly decorated 20 yr CIA veteran, or an anonymous troll named niloroth? Read below about the CIA veteran and decide for yourself. I think I’ll take the CIA man on this one. Sorry, Willie Nillie, but you’ve been aced.

Franker,
Ive taken just the following 2 passages from your post, if only to save space in my reply, because they go to the heart of the matter.
I was only kidding in one of my previous posts about not knowing why I have been watched/followed all my life by gubby agents. The above is why, of course.
Its one of my purposes for being here: to tell the truth and to speak it to whatever power is in my face, be it the devil or only his minions afflicted with the police mentality (I call it PM.)
Now, there are cops and there are cops. Not all are created equal, as youve noted. Not all are even recognized as cops. I know many types of cops. The kind that allow themselves to be identified as such, and the kind that dont. I have uncles who were in fact real cops. They worked for a real police department that actually did believe that it was their jobs to protect and to serve (the public). I have cousins who were cops, one actually still is. Same thing. They believe their jobs to be to enforce the law, and to catch the bad guys/girls and to utilize good judgment and fairness in the process. That said, I will acknowledge that they have ALWAYS been in the minority, and are probably even MORE in the minority now. (your 5% is probably very accurate)
Meantime, there are the types that have been following/watching you. And yes ME too!! SOME of these types might actually be on a government payroll, and others are more privately or corporately appointed. Increasingly, they are also self appointed like bounty hunters and private watchdogs. (rendition teams and blackwater guards come to mind). Some of these may have various contracts with government or other corporate entities, and some are just appointing themselves. Whatever the case, they are equally dangerous in my opinion, which is the same reason that I too, must get in their faces if only to make it clear that I know what they are about, (and probably who sent them as well).
Nimrod is certainly not the first of these, nor do I expect him to be the last. And the ultimate reason for all of this? Well, you said that as well. Its about this pesky habit that we both seem to have, of addressing and uncovering TRUTH. So, if we had to put it in a nutshell, that is the reason why Ive been a target, and it didnt just start. Its been the case for at least a decade with me, maybe longer.
And, the paradox of it all, is that their fear of what I know, (and might tell) is what actually alerted me to most of these truths to begin with. To quote a much younger colleague, (and in far more simplistic language) They tell- on themselves. So it is.
Now in my case, I believe most of this harassment to be from my former employers, (and theres tons of it that comes from far more than these public forums) Having failed to effectively lynch me via their earlier methods, (economically and otherwise) theyve not yet given up. Nor do I expect them to. STILL, this public forum is a good way to make it clear, that I know whats up. Yep, theyre watching me, and I want THEM to know that I know, theyre watching/following me. And, while I take this as harassment, (and wasted effort as well, since I dont know nearly as much as they think I do) its not going to stop me from speaking those truths of which I AM aware, and that would include the fact that they are indeed watching and following me.
Im not sure to which specific sub-group Nimrod reports, or if hes just sort of self-appointed. Consequently, he simply has to be exposed like all the rest of them. He may in fact disappear, only to be replaced by others. (along with the ones who do the same work via other methods). Just so that THEY know, that I know Thats all this is about.
And now, we can get back to the truthing that so scares the shit out of them.

Cyrena, I dont think you have much to be concerned about, as niloroth is obviously a cop. While its true that, of all the criminals on this planet, cops are the most dangerous of the lot, and murderers to boot (visit some of the many graveyards of their victims and see, including those of 911), he is just having fun with you to pass away some of the boredom of his job.
Granted, when ANY cop focuses on you for ANY reason, you have cause for alarm, as you could be murdered at any moment (after all, murder and mayhem is what cops are all about, well, that and taking bribesand some even direct traffic sometime and make themselves useful), but in a situation like the present, I think he will go away as he came, just a minor interruption, like a barking dog. Dont get the simile wrong here, I am not comparing cops to the noble dog, for I have reason to love and respect dogs, but I refer only to the bark of the dog, which is quite like cops doing the same thing.
If you think the infamous Aryan Brotherhood is dangerous (a bloody group of barbarians founded inside the bowels of your own San Quentin State Prison in California over twenty years ago and so dangerous that they are kept in deep confinement), you can learn who is really dangerous if you get behind the scenes where cops do their dirtiest work. Indeed, I am a past expert on the topic, and I can say that cops are able to eclipse the terror of any Aryan Brother just in the routine function of their jobs sometime. Your real terror is the policeman, not the Aryan Brotherhood, not the Muslim hordes. Does this fact seem frightening? It should.
Obviously, not each and every cop is an over-the-edge maniac. Only about 95% or so would fit in this category. And so, if any of you know any exceptions, they would fall in the 5% category.
I was only kidding in one of my previous posts about not knowing why I have been watched/followed all my life by gubby agents. The above is why, of course. And when the venue is present, I tell those that are afflicted with the criminal/police mentality about it as quickly as I tell anybody that gets in my face. However, I am always nice about it and use educated language to convey the pictures. Sometime its hard to tell a cop what a scum bucket he is, but there are ways and I know them all. Eventually I get it told so that he knows hes been told.
Its one of my purposes for being here: to tell the truth and to speak it to whatever power is in my face, be it the devil or only his minions afflicted with the police mentality (I call it PM.)
Who or what am I (other than FTF), anyway? Well, Ive always considered myself the spirit of America, and the very reason for the existence of the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution. Is my job cut out for me, or what? Ill have to live at least a thousand years.

that was never said. I am really thinking you have serious memory issues.
Nimrod, youre giving me the creeps. You addressed this to me, and you included a post number where I did in fact relay the statement that Rumsfeld made, about needing another Pearl Harbor. This means that YOU do in fact pay very close attention, -AT LEAST TO ME- and what I post. This is a concern. Because it would lead me, (and anyone else) to a conclusion that you must somehow be obsessed in some way, with what I personally have to say, (or think) if not to the exclusion of all other posters, than at least for sure, Im like at the top of your list. I dont like it, and that now means that Im gonna have everybody ELSE, paying this very same close attention to YOU.
Now, why didnt you address THIS part of your BS to the individual who caught you on it. That was AZ Arrow, since he apparently didnt like you twisting his stuff around either. The same goes for the rest of this stuff about the Israeli connection to 9/11, which Ive already EXPLAINED to you, was all new information for me, since it was NOT a connection that I had previously made on my own. Ive had to rely on other posters to make this information available.
Consequently, I NEVER said that the Israelis themselves had advance notice. But SOMEBODY obviously did, because SOMEBODY had to place all of the demolition equipment into the towers. Its the same with the link that was originally posted by I believe Patrick Henry, (I dont have time to look up the number) about the woman who had files locked up, that only came to light when she fell ill with cancer.
Again, i ask you, and i will point out that i provided the quote that you reference, explain how you justify the fact that the Israelis had advanced notice.
Heres another example: You provided the reference for my quote on the New Pearl Harbor. Do you think I just made that up? No. I read David Griffins book a couple or so years ago, of the very same title. If memory serves me, (because Im not gonna go look that up either) he doesnt reference the Israeli thing either.
As for the Ketchum article, I didnt post that either, though the information is RIGHT HERE, on this same thread, right above one of your own. #111814 by A. Z. Arrow
And, it has been posted on this thread before, (as well as others) which means that you dont have to purchase it. So, this is just more distraction from you, and another unjustified attack on me. Who has memory issues?
I will post this again, for your reading pleasure, since it would appear that unless this stuff comes directly from ME, you dont notice it.
http://www.counterpunch.org/ketcham03072007.html
The above link is posted by AZ Arrow, and he does include a portion of the Ketchum article right here in the post.
Robert has also posted various links to the same Israeli issues, which is the only information that I personally ever reviewed. Ill repost that as well, for your reference. #111846 by Robert
Just follow the numbers Nimrod. Can you do that? And dont limit yourself to only what I write, because I tend to focus only on what Ive personally researched. And, while I may in fact make frequent references to what others have posted, (if only because they are things which add to the larger picture, and our collective effort at sharing this info) you should learn to always attribute the proper source.
Report thisMost importantly, you need to check your obsession with ME. Im NOT flattered. Not even a little bit. So, Im putting you on notice here, and Im bringing this to the attention of all others who participate in this forum. That means Ive just issued an official internet BOLO for your creepy ass.

I don’t deny that the israeli’s were acting like a$$holes, or that the witnesses were shocked by their actions, but that does not prove that they were involved, or had advanced info of the attacks.

Report thisCyrena, your understanding of trolls like Niloroth is perfect.
You all remember how he irrupted on the scene trying to intimidate us with their usual dosis of anti-Semitisms, Nazism and Swasticas. Well, it didn’t work because he found us quite immune from that favourite discussion of theirs.
Then he started reading our links, only to declare them fascist, nazi and liars.( His links, incidentally, turn out blank when you pursue them to the end- a typical operation to disrupt or slow down
the discussion).
Finally, apparently losing his nerves, he deliberately misquotes his opponent, counting on his ‘chutspah’ to produce ‘shock and awe’.
The last stage of their performance are plain insults. Then follows the exit.
We all remember characters like MS ( who ended up calling Cyrena stupid, being rendered impotent to argue with her -any source that didn’t fit his fantasy were -nazi), or ITW , who tried to sell us his theory of unique and eternal jewish sufferings, as a substitute for looking for the Truth about 911.(from pure rabbinical stock, he threw anathema on all of us before disappearing), then there was Lefty( the most brainless of them all, trying to heckle us through his capitalized slogans- he used to send us up to twenty of these identical messages of his -at the same time).
Now we have Niloroth.

I told you nice folks about the whores for gubby. They wear you down by attrition. They just keep running sets on you. And when that bunch retires, another one is up and running. For example, I have retired several generations of agents that have been watching me just about my whole life.
Why have they been watching me? Well, why not? They might as well be doing something, right? If they were not watching me it would be somebody down the street. Indeed, they are watching somebody down the street, too. They are watching everybody. Their job is “watching.” There are two kinds of people in the U.S.: those that watch and those that are watched. I just happen to be one of the watched.
The attrition part is, there is only one of me (or one of each of you, and you/I are unique.) But these people are all exactly alike and they extend well into the future. When they retire of old age (usually at twenty years) and get their lucrative retirement package (at taxpayers’ eternal expense, of course), somebody exactly like them replaces them. They are like prison guards that sit around on their asses and watch people all day every day of their lives. Can you imagine such a job? I can’t. I have to know I am serving a valuable function, even if it is only for myself. By valuable I don’t mean money necessarily, but just to know that my life is worthwhile.
Can you imagine spending your twenty years of vocational achievement watching the likes of me? Yet, they do it. And the next generation that takes over does it, and the next after that until I expire, I suppose. Can you imagine telling, “Yes, I watched FTF for twenty years, then my son watched him for the next twenty, then his son for the next.”
But what else did you do with your life?
“Well, I twiddled my thumbs (or stuck them up my ass.)”
Attrition will kill you as the nameless, faceless, beingless niliroths wear themselves down to a nub “watching” their “targets,” then when each is worn out, he hands the “baton” to the next in an endless parody of existence, in which none of them are really alive. What they think of as “being alive” is sitting on their asses watching others. In reality, they are alien spores blowing in the wind, alien to humanity, that is.
It doesn’t surprise me that niliroth is trying to throw shit in the game here. Hell, his job is the most boring thing in the world. He is just seeking a little excitement. When I want excitement I don my SCUBA gear and head to the ocean. Or I snorkel out into the ocean for about three or four miles and let the surf bring me in. Or I do any number of a thousand other great things that are open to me and at my fingertips, and I learn endlessly from it all.
But poor niliroth is only a drone that does what he is ordered and nothing else. He is not his own man. How can you blame him for wanting to tweak a little life into his otherwise non-existence?

In your reply # 111803 you CHANGED THE SUBJECT as I made no reference to footnote 25.
A.Z. Arrrow,
This is a standard tactic for all trolls. I know how annoying it can be, but just so you know, were all paying attention, so we know what you said and what you didnt, and we know what Nimrod is up to as well.
Heres another example of the same from him:
Re: #111770 by niloroth Oh yeah, and no one ever said we need a new pearl harbor. although that is one of Cyrenas favorites as well. Find me that quote and i will admit i am wrong. Bet you cant.
Now, he claims this quote about a New Pearl Harbor to be a favorite of mine. But HE HAS NO REFERENCE FOR THAT, since Ive not mentioned anything of the sort, at least not in any recent posts. No doubt I AM familiar with this quote, (From Rumsfeld, and just days before the events of 9/11) however, Ive made NO reference to it on this particular board, just like you made no reference to footnote 25.
So actually, its more than just changing the subject, (though types like Nimrod use that tactic as well.)
No, this is actually far more annoying, because in effect, hes LYING on individual persons, because he uses the names and makes connections that dont exist, or attributes things to people that havent said them, or makes shit up and claims that somebody else said or did it. When you read enough of these types, it becomes more and more recognizable, and you can spot them immediately.
So Nimrod, did you get the reply from FTF? (#111827 by Franker than Frank). Hes helping me out here, since Ive had my hands full lately, and havent had as much time to entertain you, or do your research for you. Actually, I think its really generous of him, since its obvious that nobody is buying whatever it is that youre trying to peddle.
Thats the way it is Nimrod. Not only are you a whore, but youre a dishonest one, trying to peddle some really damaged goods. Shame on you.

Hey numb nuts, it’s me again, FTF, on earth (not where you are presently.) All you have to do is put “new pearl harbor” into your search engine to bring up about ten million references to the PNAC manifesto that uses those very words to describe what is needed to operate as a catalyzing event to speed up PNAC’s agenda for world domination. I think they actually use the words, “New Pearl Harbor,” but it’s been a long time since I read it.
I am certain that a govt troll like you would be amply apprised of the PNAC statement, and so your Mad Magazine “Who me?” statement above obviously translates that you are not smart enough to associate the PNAC statement with 911, or not allowed to. Neither do you associate any of the actual guilty parties with 911 causes (maybe yourself included, certainly you are an accomplice after the fact for trying to cover up a major crime) except for “little green men from Mars” that caused hundreds of miracles to occur in order to set aside all the major known laws of physics so that 757’s could evaporate into thin air for being sloshed with burning kerosine for a few minutes (while preserving intact the DNA of the passengers), and so that mighty skyscrapers could fall down into their own footprints, “boom-boom-boom,” three in a row, just like a professional demolition job would do it, after being hit by what amounts, comparatively, to speeding balls of aluminum foil, with the greatest miracle being that even speeding foil didn’t hit one of them, which just fell down out of sheer sympathy for the other two.
But hey, one of my favorite miracles are the cell phone conversations between the wife on flt 77 and her hubby (DOJ Solicitor General.) It was a genuine miracle that these two talked so long on two separate occasions, but GTE only recorded one connection taking place for “0” seconds.
(I know, I know, you will come back with, “The FBI lied, under oath in a court of law, about that ‘0’ seconds.” Well, Nillie, if the FBI lied about that, what else have they lied about?)
Sort of makes one wonder whether the former DOJ official was lying about the conversations, or if he received fake calls. But one of these is the case, as there is no third possibility. Both of these raise their own questions, of course. Like, if the calls were faked, then who did it and why? Surely not the 19 Arabs with box cutters. And if the DOJ official lied, what part was he playing in 911?
If the calls were faked, it couldn’t have been the CIA, because the DOJ guy would have known immediately the call was fake, as the CIA has already faked numerous “bin Laden” photo ops and they are not good enough over at CIA even to hire professional movie producers (such as a Star Wars bunch) to do the job. CIA agents must do it at home in their spare time, using their families for stand-ins. Have you seen some of their “bin Laden’s?” Ha, ha, ha, some of them look like Boris Karloff on a bad day. Bin Laden should sue for defamation (or deformation.)
You are a shameless whore, niloroth the troll. In fact, streetwalkers have more shame than you govt trollops beating around the Internet trying to peddle your shameful wares. Yes, you’re a whore.

What Did Israel Know in Advance of the 9/11 Attacks?
By CHRISTOPHER KETCHAM
On the afternoon of September 11, 2001, an FBI bulletin known as a BOLO - “be on lookout”—was issued with regard to three suspicious men who that morning were seen leaving the New Jersey waterfront minutes after the first plane hit World Trade Center 1. Law enforcement officers across the New York-New Jersey area were warned in the radio dispatch to watch for a “vehicle possibly related to New York terrorist attack”:White, 2000 Chevrolet van with ‘Urban Moving Systems’ sign on back seen at Liberty State Park, Jersey City, NJ, at the time of first impact of jetliner into World Trade Center Three individuals with van were seen celebrating after initial impact and subsequent explosion. FBI Newark Field Office requests that, if the van is located, hold for prints and detain individuals.
At 3:56 p.m., twenty-five minutes after the issuance of the FBI BOLO, officers with the East Rutherford Police Department stopped the commercial moving van through a trace on the plates. According to the police report, Officer Scott DeCarlo and Sgt. Dennis Rivelli approached the stopped van, demanding that the driver exit the vehicle. The driver, 23-year-old Sivan Kurzberg, refused and “was asked several more times [but] appeared to be fumbling with a black leather fanny pouch type of bag”. With guns drawn, the police then “physically removed” Kurzberg, while four other men - two more men had apparently joined the group since the morning - were also removed from the van, handcuffed, placed on the grass median and read their Miranda rights.”

That site is trash, even that page you sent me to (which i have read before) is poorly researched and it’s footnotes are poor. (just follow link 25, which goes to a story that in no way supports the quote it is trying to prove.) Like most truther sites, they are wonders of lies and misdirection.
The quote “We are Israelis. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are your problem.” Is then followed by the comment “Why did he feel that Palestinians were a problem for the NYPD?”
Anyone with a brain could tell that the Israeli is not talking about the NYPD. Well, maybe not you or the sites author.
resource 25, as mentioned, fails to support the quote, which is the one that ties the white house into the plot. So it fails big time on that.
The quote “The fact of the matter is we are coming from a country that experiences terror daily. Our purpose was to document the event.” Gives no reference to what time frame he was talking about as far as documenting the event. Many people documented the events of 9/11, are you saying that everyone who videoed or photographed the events had advanced knowledge as well?
Once again, you have nothing.
Please show that they had advanced warning, or they were involved. And do it in a more recent thread, i am tired of proving you folks wrong here in a 3 month old thread no one but you headcases read.

You have not told me what you know about the dancing Israelis instead you ask questions.
I first read that the dancing Israelis (months after their arrest) bragged they were assigned to video the events in NYC on 9/11 at the web page of Ha’aretz. But I now see they have disappeared that report from their archives. I assume under pressure from someone of influence over Israeli editors. But perhaps you will have better luck than me and find it.
You can, in addition, find a partial video clip from Israeli TV about the assignment of two members of these dancing agents by clicking on the photo next to the following quotation:
Several of the detainees discussed their experience in America on an Israeli talk show after their return home. Said one of the men, denying that they were laughing or happy on the morning of Sept. 11, “The fact of the matter is we are coming from a country that experiences terror daily. Our purpose was to document the event.” (26) How did they know there would be an event to document on 9/11?

And in case you think you can weasel around this, be informed that I trust the Americans that spotted them dancing and giving each other high-fives more than I trust these treacherous and joyful enemies. I trust Americans more than I trust apologist for Zionism or oppressors of the Palestinian people (categories into which I DO NOT place all Jewish people or all Israelis —certainly not Jewish members of my family— who are not fanatic nationalist or land grabbing monsters).
Later today, when I get time for some research on the source of the other quotation you asked about I will post it pronto.

A.Z.:
The dancing Israeli’s are interesting, but i have 2 questions for you.
1) Can you find any evidence that they had any idea that the attack was going to happen before it did? All the eyewitnesses claim that the attack happened, and then the Israeli’s were spotted on the top of their van. Seems they were watching the events just like eveyone else, but not BEFORE the event.
2) is there any evidence that they were involved in the attacks?
I don’t know why they would have been smiling, or dancing in the pictures they had taken, and we will probebly never know, since as far as i know the pictures were never released. Maybe they didn’t like us, maybe they thought the US would get fully into the war against islamic terror, who knows. But there is no reason, other than your burning antisemitism, to think they were in any way aware of the events beforehand, or involved in any way.
The rest of your post is BS as well, there was no stand down, a plane hit the pentagon, and there were no demolitions. Oh yeah, and no one ever said “we need a new pearl harbor.” although that is one of Cyrena’s favorites as well. Find me that quote and i will admit i am wrong. Bet you can’t.
More lies.
