More
than 14 million devices have downloaded Microsoft’s Windows 10 since it
was released July 29, 2015. The technology has received glowing reviews
by customers; nevertheless, many have called out Microsoft 10 for what
it really is – an unprecedented spy system promulgated by Big Brother. Approximately 12,000 words are embedded in the company’s Private
Policy and Service Agreement. Many consumers did not read this magnum
opus prior to downloading the upgrade. The privacy settings in the
operating system are intrusive by default.(1) Had consumers
perused the service agreement beforehand, many would be stunned to read
that Windows reserves the right to “access, disclose and preserve
personal data, including your content (such as the content of your
emails, other private communications or files in private folders).”(2)
Windows 10 starts tracking everything you do the second you starting
using the system. Microsoft saves customer information, such as names,
credit card information and private passwords. The tech giant claims to
collect the data in order to improve its services.(2) Just the tip of the iceberg That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Microsoft also saves Bing search
queries and conversations with Cortana, the voice-based virtual
assistant. Other information collected and stored by Microsoft include
email content, websites and apps visited, and private folder content.
Windows 10 even collects your typed and handwritten words. The company adds that they will disseminate customer information if
they need to comply with law enforcement on a legal matter, protect
customers, thwart computer attacks and protect the property rights of
Microsoft. If a customer steals intellectual or physical property of
Microsoft, the company will refer to law enforcement.(3) Microsoft and law enforcement agencies aren’t the only one’s who
could have access to your private information. The company also reserves
the right to share your information with unidentified third-party
services, mostly likely for advertising purposes. Microsoft is allowed
to keep track of your internet activities to target adverts to you.
Furthermore, some people are worried that hackers could use private
information gathered by Microsoft.(5) How to opt out of privacy intrusions Fortunately, you can opt-out of these privacy intrusions. Go to the
settings on your computer, then click privacy, and turn off anything
that looks intrusive. There should be approximately 13 screens that
cover different aspects of your computer, including apps and messaging
details. One way to further preserve your privacy is to turn off Cortana. This
will prevent the virtual assistant from recording your conversations.
Another way to prevent Microsoft from bombarding you with adverts is to
turn off personalized ads. This can be achieved by going to an external
website, and turning the personalized ads off. The last tip is to remove
your Microsoft account from Windows 10 and substitute it with a local
account. This will prevent Microsoft from taking your data and syncing
it across machines. Deactivating certain features may cause Windows to
not run as efficiently. Consumers ought to decide whether they want a
certain feature by determining how much privacy they are willing to
compromise.(3) Microsoft’s Windows 10 is an unprecedented piece of spyware
technology. The intrusiveness of the system is unjustifiable. If you do
use the operating system, make sure to protect yourself by opting out of
the privacy policies. http://www.glitch.news/2015-09-10-microsoft-windows-10-the-worlds-first-spyware-os-it-tracks-and-logs-everything-you-do-on-your-own-computer.html Sources include:

Academic GMO shills
exposed: Once-secret emails reveal gross collusion with Monsanto,
academic fraud at the highest levels inside U.S. universities
by Julie Wilson staff writer
(NaturalNews) U.S. Right to Know (USRTK), a non-profit organization
dedicated to exposing the fraud and corruption surrounding the food
industry, launched an investigation into the intimate and unethical
relationship between the biotech industry and university faculty
and staff, which is used to manipulate public opinion about GMOs and to
coerce the government into passing legislation supportive of Big Ag's
patented seeds and pesticides. The investigation, which is still
ongoing, reveals how biotech industry giants Monsanto, DuPont, Syngenta,
Dow AgroSciences and others, buy academics employed by taxpayer-funded
universities to push GMOs and lobby Congress to pass legislation
favorable of their products, with one of the most high-profile examples
including attempts to derail states' rights to enact GMO-labeling laws. The collusion between Big Food, its front groups and university staff has been exposed through thousands of emails and documents obtained through a USRTK Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, which was meticulously filed over a six-month period.
USRTK: Public deserves to know about flow of money and level of coordination between Big Ag and public university scientists
The
FOIA request sought to obtain emails and documents from 43 public
university faculty and staff to learn more about the biotech industry's
public relations strategies. Records were requested from scientists,
economists, law professors, extension specialists and communicators, all
of whom are employed by taxpayer-funded public institutions and
steadily promote GMO agriculture under the "independent" research. Currently,
USRTK has received thousands of documents in nine of their requests;
however, much more information is expected to be released as FOIA
requests continue to be answered. The documents received thus far
expose how the biotech industry funds expenses for university faculty
to travel the globe promoting and defending GMOs and their associated
pesticides, highlighting the shift that scientists have made from being
researchers to being actors in Big Ag PR campaigns. Named the
"Biofortified boys" by Alicia Maluafiti, executive director of Hawaii
Crop Improvement Association (HCIA), a biotech front group, the
academics were awarded thousands, and in some cases, hundreds of
thousands of dollars in unrestricted grant money. Dr. Kevin
Folta, professor and chairman of the Horticultural Sciences Department
at the University of Florida, Gainesville, is one of the biotech
industry's most cooperative "Biofortified boys." Emails show that Folta
was enlisted to travel to Hawaii and later to Pennsylvania to "testify
to government bodies to oppose proposed mandatory genetically modified
labeling measures." Folta has repeatedly denied ties to Monsanto
or having accepted funds from them; however, newly released documents
prove otherwise, exposing him as a bald-faced liar and attack dog for
the biotech industry. Sponsored and organized by the HCIA, which
includes Monsanto, DuPont, Dow AgroSciences, Syngenta and BASF, Folta
and others were recruited to meet with local business execs to lobby
against Hawaii's proposed GMO-labeling law. HCIA's Maluafiti writes: So
please know that you are part of our overall public education strategy
and specifically – how do we use your valuable time wisely while you are
here in Hawaii (besides hitting the beaches!) I'd love to hear your
thoughts. Aloha! A second email authored by Renee Kester,
wife of Dow AgroSciences R&D Leader Kirby Kester, who is also
president of the HCIA, thanks them for their support: First
off I would like to thank you for all of the support you have given us
over here in Hawaii with regards to our recent legislative battles, it
means a lot to all of us over here.
Monsanto asks academics to author articles promoting GMOs
In
an effort to influence "thought leaders and influencers," Monsanto
reached out to Dr. Folta and other academics, asking them to author a
series of pro-GMO policy briefs to be used for "outreach and engagement
with policy makers and consumers." The briefs were to be promoted as
being authored by "independent scientists." Eric Sachs, the chief of Monsanto's global scientific affairs group wrote: The
key to success is participation by all of you – recognized experts and
leaders with the knowledge, reputation and communication experience
needed to communicate authoritatively to the target groups. You
represent an elite group whose credibility will be strengthened by
working together. Recognizing participants' careers are at
stake, Sachs offers the academics assurance by promising that he will
protect their "independence," as well as their reputations. Some of the topics the academics were asked to write on include:
Meeting World Challenges
(discuss how GMOs will save the world by addressing shrinking
agricultural resources, food security, food affordability and
environmental sustainability).
Stifling Innovation (discuss how GM crop regulations stifle technological advancements and prevent GMOs from improving overall quality of life).
Holding Activists Accountable
– assigned to Kevin Folta (discuss how anti-GMO activist campaigns
spread false information and if left unchallenged will limit consumer
choice, increase food prices, decrease farmer viability and undermine
global food security).
GM Crop Safety (address consumer
and policy maker concerns that GM crops aren't tested for safety,
convince public that they are proven safe).
Consequences of Rejecting GM Crops
(address public health fears and political resistance and concerns
about biodiversity and biological safety and intellectual property
rights that create barriers to GM acceptance).
Sustainable Crop Systems (discuss how GM crop technology provides environmental benefits, increases yields and improves productivity).
Responsible Choice
(highlight the role GM crop technology plays in ensuring increase
production and how it balances our needs for food, feed, fiber and
fuel).
Academics were asked to include a "call to action,"
which would be used in the briefs to influence the public on a variety
of platforms including social media, blogs, websites and allied
organizations.
Montano enlists university scientists to pressure EPA to abandon proposed pesticide regulations
Documents
reveal that Monsanto also used academics to put pressure on regulatory
agencies like the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) – in one
instance pressuring the EPA to abandon its proposal to tighten
regulations regarding pesticide use on insect-resistant crops. "Is
there a coordinated plan to maintain pressure and emphasis on EPA's
evolving regulations?" asked Sachs in an email to Dr. Bruce Chassy, a
professor emeritus at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. Sachs
continued, "Have you considered having a small group of scientists
request a meeting with Lisa Jackson [referring to the EPA's
administrator at the time]?" With the help of an industry
lobbyist, Chassy was eventually able to set up a meeting with Jackson,
after which the agency's proposal was ultimately dropped. Stay tuned for more as Natural News continues to dissect documents exposing the incestuous relationship between the biotech industry and university scientists.
Stabbing of Dr. Mary Rene Bovier in her home marks TENTH alternative doctor murdered in past few months
by Jonathan Benson, staff writer
(NaturalNews) A mysterious string of alternative health practitioner
deaths has culminated with the tragic murder of a Pennsylvania osteopath
by the name of Dr. Mary Rene Bovier, D.O., the tenth such
suspicious death to occur since late spring. On August 12, Dr. Bovier,
65, was reportedly found stabbed to death in her home in Sharon,
Pennsylvania, in a scene that authorities say is indicative of homicide. Local
police say they've already identified a "person of interest" who they
suspect might be responsible for Dr. Bovier's murder. This person, who
apparently lives right across the street from Dr. Bovier's now-empty
residence, appears to have been acquainted with the osteopathic
physician and her integrative practice. With a license to
practice medicine that was valid through July 2017, Dr. Bovier had been
running a successful integrative health practice at PsyCare, an
Ohio-based outpatient network that specializes in behavioral and
healthcare counseling. Dr. Bovier reportedly offered both traditional
and alternative treatments at this clinic. Dr. Bovier's name has since been removed from the PsyCare staff directory, but a page archived in the WayBack Machine on July 31, 2014, lists her as a practicing physician. Dr.
Bovier's body was reportedly discovered in her home in the early
morning hours of August 12, shortly after a neighbor (the person of
interest) called the police at around 7:00 a.m. to provide notice of a
deceased person. Upon arrival, police noticed that Dr. Bovier had not
simply died but was targeted, prompting an autopsy and corresponding
investigation. "On arrival, officers felt that something didn't
look right," Sharon Police Chief Gerald Smith told WFMJ. "She appeared
to be stabbed, detectives were called out immediately and at this point
in time we're treating this as a homicide. I can tell you that the
person we're talking to is a close friend of hers." Police
officers reportedly interviewed the man who made the call and even
obtained a search warrant to comb his house for evidence that might link
him to the crime. This man, who is not being identified publicly, was
later released from interrogation after officers came up with nothing
pinning him to the murder.
Doctors investigating GcMAF treatment targeted: was Dr. Bovier one of them?
Many of the sources covering Dr. Bovier's untimely murder have been
publishing conflicting information about her age, her relationship to
the person of interest -- some are saying he was just a friend, while
others have identified him as Dr. Bovier's former boyfriend -- and even
whether or not the person of interest was ever arrested or was merely
questioned by police in his home. Even
Dr. Bovier's relationship with PsyCare's Tiffany Clinic in Boardman,
where she had reportedly worked prior to her death, remains somewhat
unclear. WFMJ reports that Dr. Bovier's name still appears "at her
former office," even though she supposedly hadn't worked there for the
past two years. Her name has also since been removed from PsyCare's
website. According to HealthGrades, a service that allows
patients to rate their physicians, Dr. Bovier was a specialist in
osteopathic manipulative therapy, something that most D.O.s no longer
do, according to Health Nut News's Erin Elizabeth. HealthGrades
also lists Dr. Bovier's practice as being part of Calcutta Family Care
in East Liverpool, Ohio, rather than the Tiffany Clinic in Boardman. Why are these details important? Because Dr. Bovier is the tenth
integrative physician (that we know of) to suffer a mysterious death so
far this summer for reasons that remain elusive. Like all the others
who died before her, Dr. Bovier appears to have embraced a healing
approach other than pharmaceutical drugs and surgery, and she might have
been involved in research that would have struck at the heart of these
powerful industries. Dr. Jeff Bradstreet, the first doctor to turn up dead, was found floating in the Broad River near Chimney Rock, North Carolina, on June 19. The Washington Post
reported that he had a gunshot wound to his chest, and a gun was found
in the water nearby. Law enforcement immediately tagged Dr. Bradstreet's
death as a suicide, but who shoots himself in the chest? Dr.
Bradstreet's family has since hired a private investigative team to dig
into the case further. Just a few days later on June 21, Father's
Day, two other doctors were found dead. Dr. Baron Holt, D.C., 33, and
Dr. Bruce Hedendal, D.C., Ph.D., were both from Florida; Dr. Bradstreet
was also practicing in Florida. Both men were chiropractors, both were
fathers, and both were found mysteriously dead on the East Coast of
Florida. In the following days, Dr. Teresa Sievers, osteopath Dr.
Lisa Riley, Dr. Ron Schwartz, M.D., Dr. Jeffrey Whiteside, M.D., and
Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez also went missing or were found dead. Each of
their stories suggests foul play, especially after it was revealed that
many of them had been involved in investigating the use of the GcMAF
molecule in treating autism, cancer, and other diseases. Was Dr.
Bovier involved in this important research, which appears to offer a
real solution to many of our nation's most prominent chronic diseases?
Was she targeted like the others were for deviating from the status quo
and trying to help people rather than just profit from treating their
symptoms?
VOICE 2 SKULL: THE TRUTH ABOUT ARTIFICIAL TELEPATHY
VOICE 2 SKULL
THE TRUTH ABOUT ARTIFICAL TELEPATHY
I was having a conversation with my new producer, Alex. He was
telling me that he recently realized he had some credit left over from
an Amazon account and was so excited about having enough credit to get a
new “Smart Watch” for virtually no money. The latest “Smart Watches” are very powerful and are catching on
because, the watch itself talks to your Android mobile device so it can
display your texts, emails, Facebook and Twitter posts, and more,
without your having to take the phone out of your pocket. It is something more advanced than the two-way wrist radio that Dick Tracy wore in the old comic strip. Now, I can just imagine how excited he was because he is into all
kinds of electronic gadgets, including an Oculus Rift where rudimentary
virtual reality can be achieved if you just wear a special apparatus
over your eyes. He also has an unrivaled collection of old video game
consoles from the Atari 2600 to the older version of the X-Box. However, sometimes its gadgets like these that make me feel old and
irrelevant. The reason I say this is because, is it really that much of a
hassle to pull the damn cell phone or Smart phone out of your pocket to
check messages and e-mail? A listener once brought up in an e-mail the idea that these new
Smart phones are part of a conspiracy. Now, there was no explanation as
to why it was a conspiracy so I had to write back and ask why it was
such a big deal. The reply was something I did not expect. The person that wrote back
told me that she was a victim of electronic harassment. She believed
that someone was targeting her and using microwave technology to beam
voices into her head. She expressed to me the idea that Smart Watches are a gateway device
to creating artificial telepathy. I had never heard of the term before
and she explained that the watch is used to be an electronic assistant
to the phone. It becomes a convenience to use a watch instead of looking
at the phone. The exercise acclimates the consumer into the habit of “think, tap,
and receive” – an exercise that eventually will become a mental
imperative similar to brushing one’s teeth or automatically using a car
signal to make a turn. No longer will you have to physically answer your
phone or your watch. You will think, tap a part of your skull and then
hear a voice through technology which has already been developed by the
military. Mind-reading as a model for mobile phone communication is an old
story. In the 1967 science-fiction political-satire movie, The
President’s Analyst, starring James Coburn, one of the subplots involved
a plan by the company TPC to develop “the Cerebrum Communicator,” a
microelectronic device that can communicate wirelessly with any other
Cerebrum Communicator in the world. Once implanted in the brain, the user needs to just think of the
number of the person they wish to reach, and are instantly connected,
thus eliminating the need for the phone company’s massive and
expensive-to-maintain wired infrastructure. This type of technology could also be used to send telepathic
commercials or thoughts where brands or brand names would flash into
your head and by the power of suggestion, McDonalds could send you a
message about a value deal on Big Macs and Lund time, or Starbucks can
send you a mental “treat receipt” reminding you that after Two PM you
can have a delicious latte for a pick me up. This technology already exists in the form of Voice-to-skull
technology, Neurophone technology – and microwave tech that can generate
artificial telepathy. Some call it artificial schizophrenia or political control technology, Neurophones are not really phones but are known as a bio-hacker for
the brain. It is a handheld device that emits a subtle ultrasonic
frequency to create left/right brain synchronization through two
transducers that are applied to the user’s forehead. It is literally a mind control device that was inspired by an old science fiction novel. In 1911, Hugo Gernsback, often referred to as “The Father of Science
Fiction”, wrote a book entitled Ralph 124C 4+ in which he depicted a
sleep learning device called the Hypnobioscope. A young inventor Patrick
Flanagan ran with the idea, creating the Neuro-phone, Gernsback later
thanked him and gave him his blessing for inventing it. The Neurophone
can be worn while sleeping and includes an audio jack in which you may
connect sound, theoretically enabling auditory learning while you are
unconscious. Literally, reprogramming the brain in dream time. While Neurophones are available commercially, the idea of answering a
cell phone in your head is not commercially available yet, but it is
coming very soon. The use of voice-to-skull technology, LRAD tech and other forms of
artificial telepathy is being used as a tool for the military. While most people think private enterprise is responsible for
innovation, a great deal of the technology Americans rely on comes the
U.S. military. Over the years, the military, and the private enterprises developing
products for the military, have created some of the most important
products we use today. Some of the inventions have been less
groundbreaking than others, such as Silly Putty and Aviator sunglasses.
But some military research also directly led to significant innovations
such as the microwave oven and the GPS. The military has now developed Long Range Acoustics or LRAD systems
that they can use to emit sound that completely misses the ears and goes
directly into your head. The LRAD beam was originally used to emit a
loud sound to apprehend disable someone. Now it is being used to send
spoken messages up to 300 meters. Oddly enough, the LRAD system has been nicknamed the ‘Voice of God’. Concerns about microwaves, V2K (Voice to Skull technology) and how it
creates, artificial telepathy and mind control date to the 1960s, when
the U.S. government discovered that its embassy in Moscow was being
bombarded by low-level electromagnetic radiation. In 1965, according to
declassified Defense Department documents, the Pentagon, at the behest
of the White House, launched Project Pandora, top-secret research to
explore the behavioral and biological effects of low-level microwaves. For approximately four years, the Pentagon conducted secret research:
zapping monkeys, exposing unwitting sailors to microwave radiation and
conducting a host of other unusual experiments. They were sub-projects of Project Pandora and were titled Project
Bizarre. The results were mixed, and the program was plagued by
disagreements and scientific squabbles. The “Moscow signal,” as it was
called, was eventually attributed to eavesdropping, not mind control,
and Pandora ended in 1970. And with it, the military’s research into
so-called non-thermal microwave effects seemed to die out, at least in
the unclassified realm. However after Project Pandora there are many citizens who were
reporting that they were hearing voices and thought they were losing
their minds. The word had gone out that this voice-to-skull technology
or the Voice of God technology was being used as a form of gang
stalking. The victims were known as T.I. or targeted individuals. Tactics of predatory gang stalking include highly-coordinated
surveillance , hidden cameras, conversation bugging in private as well
as public, harassment, and psychological, psychosocial, financial, and
sometimes physical assaults on an individual by a large group of people
who are often strangers to the targeted individual. A massive expansion of an online community battling “gang stalking”
has occurred in recent years, with the spread of thousands of websites,
videos and organized events for followers of the movement. Those who
believe “gang stalkers” exist publicly and brazenly express their
concerns that there is a systematic form of electronic and physical
pursuit of “targeted individuals” being conducted by government and
corporate entities. The National Security Agency leaks from Edward Snowden sparked
hundreds of gang stalking bloggers and websites, touting their accuracy
and knowledge of the pervasive government spying and in some cases
electronic harassment. This harassment includes electronic mind/body attacks, using
technology to beam voices into the head, street harassment skits,
destruction of family and other relationships and destruction of
careers. Most targeted individuals of gang-stalking claim that people are not
only physically following them, but also that there are
“psycho-electronic” mind control tactics being used. A KMIR News report found a group of men in Palm Springs, California
who all believed that “corrupt business officials” and “rogue government
officials” were sponsoring “synthetic telepathy” and other forms of
“electronic harassment” that allowed them voice-to-skull manipulation of
the men’s minds. The ongoing NSA revelations about surveillance and harassment have
given nuggets of truth for wide-ranging theories across the online
gang-stalking community. There are also patents that are found that also
indicate that this technology is already in use by the military,
various alphabet agencies and businesses in the private sector. Organized Stalking is a form of terrorism used against an individual
in a malicious attempt to reduce the quality of a person’s life so they
will: have a nervous break-down, become incarcerated, institutionalized,
experience constant mental, emotional, or physical pain, become
homeless, and in some cases commit suicide. It is quite literally a form of “electronic gaslighting.” The CIA’s MK ULTRA hearings, which were held in the 70’s, revealed
the existence of secret mind control experimentation programs being
conducted by the government. After the hearings, the CIA officially
abandoned these programs. However, many people are now reporting a
variety of effects and abuses consistent with multiple reports of
unwarranted surveillance and privacy abuses conducted by the CIA, FBI
and the NSA. Because of the secrecy, new telephone wire tapping, surveillance laws
and lack of congressional oversight during the intervening decades, the
research and development of mind control and surveillance technology
have advanced far beyond what most Americans would imagine. Until recently, people who believe the government is beaming voices
into their heads have been isolated cases. But now, many have discovered
hundreds, possibly thousands, of others just like them all over the
world. Meanwhile military applications are proving to be successful. In military strategies the process is called “Synthetic Telepathy.”
It is a term that is specified in studies on how to conduct futuristic
warfare that include microwave attacks on human targets and computers
that respond to fighter pilots sight and brain functions where synthetic
or artificial telepathy can be used to fire weapons at a target. The pilot simply taps, thinks and reacts. These methods are listed in
the National Defense Industrial Associations paper about “Future
Strategic Issues.” What was once science fiction is now science fact. Extremely low frequencies and microwaves can cause agitation in
humans and frequencies have been known to cause sickness and eventual
deaths are a matter of record. Mind control through sounds wave technology would be the ultimate non-lethal weapon. We have seen the reaction in people when a microphone or guitar has
feedback. Imagine a sustained feedback wine that pulsates for nearly an
hour in your skull. Imagine the idea of a cell phone that rings in your head and it
answers itself. Imagine the voices that are coming from it, asking you
to perform certain tasks, or threatens you with death or some other
terrible coercion. There are many times where we hear things that keep us awake at night
– a loud cricket chirping or a barking dog. Those are little annoyances
that often plague us. However, can you imagine an intentional
bombardment of microwaves pulsing and being aimed directly at you? There are now many people who have at one time experienced this phenomenon and have asked themselves if they are crazy. In the end, it all seems to point to the idea that in order to
prevent the silent voices in the head there needs to be a louder voice
from the people —the acceptance of such claims may only happen when the
technology is no longer a secret.
The Truth behind 9/11: Who Is Osama Bin Laden?
At 11am, on the morning of 9/11, the Bush administration had announced that Osama was behind the attacks.
The article below entitled Who is Osama bin Laden?
was drafted on September 11, 2001. It was first published on the
Global Research website on the evening of September 12, 2001. Since 2001, it has appeared on numerous websites. The original
September 11, 2001 posting became one of the most widely read articles
on the internet, pertaining to Al Qaeda. From the outset, the objective was to use 9/11 as a pretext
for launching the first phase of the Middle East War, which consisted in
the bombing and occupation of Afghanistan. Within hours of the attacks, Osama bin Laden was identified as the
architect of 9/11. On the following day, the “war on terrorism” had
been launched. The media disinformation campaign went into full gear. Also on September 12, less than 24 hours after the attacks, NATO
invoked for the first time in its history “Article 5 of the Washington
Treaty – its collective defence clause” declaring the 9/11 attacks on
the World Trade Center (WTC) and the Pentagon “to be an attack against
all NATO members.” What happened subsequently, with the invasions of Afghanistan and
Iraq is already part of history. Iran and Syria constitute the next
phase of the US adminstration’s military roadmap. 9/11 remains the pretext and justification for waging a war without borders. Michel Chossudovsky, September 11, 2015
September 11, 2001. Timeline
At eleven o’clock, on the morning of September 11,
the Bush administration had already announced that Al Qaeda was
responsible for the attacks on the World Trade Center (WTC) and the
Pentagon. This assertion was made prior to the conduct of an indepth
police investigation. That same evening at 9.30 pm, a “War Cabinet” was formed
integrated by a select number of top intelligence and military
advisors. And at 11.00 pm, at the end of that historic meeting at the
White House, the “War on Terrorism” was officially launched. The decision was announced to wage war against the Taliban and Al Qaeda in retribution for the 9/11 attacks. The
following morning on September 12th, the news headlines indelibly
pointed to “state sponsorship” of the 9/11 attacks by Afghanistan In chorus, the US media was calling for a military intervention against Afghanistan. Barely four weeks later, on the 7th of October,
Afghanistan was bombed and invaded by US troops. Americans were led to
believe that the decison to go to war had been taken on the spur of the
moment, on the evening of September 11, in response to the 9/11 attacks
and their tragic consequences. Little did the public realize that a
large scale theater war is never planned and executed in a matter of
weeks. The decision to launch a war and send troops to Afghanistan had
been taken well in advance of 9/11. The “terrorist, massive,
casualty-producing event” as it was later described by CentCom Commander
General Tommy Franks, served to galvanize public opinion in support of a
war agenda which was already in its final planning stage. The tragic events of 9/11 provided the required justification to
wage a war on “humanitarian grounds”, with the full support of World
public opinion and the endorsement of the “international community”. Several prominent “progressive” intellectuals made a case for
“retaliation against terrorism”, on moral and ethical grounds. The “just
cause” military doctrine (jus ad bellum) was accepted and upheld at
face value as a legitimate response to 9/11, without examining the fact
that Washington had not only supported the “Islamic terror network”, it
was also instrumental in the installation of the Taliban government in
1996. In the wake of 9/11, the antiwar movement was completely
isolated. The trade unions and civil society organizations had swallowed
the media lies and government propaganda. They had accepted a war of
retribution against Afghanistan, an impoverished country of 30 million
people. I started writing on the evening of September 11, late into the
night, going through piles of research notes, which I had previously
collected on the history of Al Qaeda. My first text entitled “Who is
Osama bin Laden?” was completed and first published on September the
12th. (See full text of the 9/12/2001 article below). From the very outset, I questioned the official story, which
described nineteen Al Qaeda sponsored hijackers involved in a highly
sophisticated and organized operation. My first objective was to reveal
the true nature of this illusive “enemy of America”, who was
“threatening the Homeland”. The myth of the “outside enemy” and the threat of
“Islamic terrorists” was the cornerstone of the Bush adminstration’s
military doctrine, used as a pretext to invade Afghanistan and
Iraq, not to mention the repeal of civil liberties and constitutional
government in America. Without an “outside enemy”, there could be no “war on terrorism”.
The entire national security agenda would collapse “like a deck of
cards”. The war criminals in high office would have no leg to stand on. Al Qaeda was a creation of the CIA going back to the
Soviet-Afghan war. This was a known fact, corroborated by numerous
sources including official documents of the US Congress. The
intelligence community had time and again acknowledged that they had
indeed supported Osama bin Laden, but that in the wake of the Cold War:
“he turned against us”. After 9/11, the campaign of media disinformation served not only to
drown the truth but also to kill much of the historical evidence on how
this illusive “outside enemy” had been fabricated and transformed into
“Enemy Number One”. (Michel Chossudovsky, Excerpts from the Preface of America’s “War on Terrorism”, Second edition, Global Research, 2005.)
Who Is Osama Bin Laden?
by Michel Chossudovsky
www.globalresearch.ca
September 12, 2001 A
few hours after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre and the
Pentagon, the Bush administration concluded without supporting
evidence, that “Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda organisation were prime
suspects”. CIA Director George Tenet stated that bin Laden has the capacity to plan “multiple attacks with little or no warning.” Secretary of State Colin Powell called the
attacks “an act of war” and President Bush confirmed in an evening
televised address to the Nation that he would “make no distinction
between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor
them”. Former CIA Director James Woolsey pointed his finger at “state
sponsorship,” implying the complicity of one or more foreign
governments. In the words of former National Security Adviser, Lawrence
Eagleburger,
“I think we will show when we get attacked like this, we are terrible in our strength and in our retribution.”
Meanwhile, parroting official statements, the Western media mantra
has approved the launching of “punitive actions” directed against
civilian targets in the Middle East. In the words of William Saffire
writing in the New York Times: “When we reasonably determine our
attackers’ bases and camps, we must pulverize them — minimizing but
accepting the risk of collateral damage” — and act overtly or covertly
to destabilize terror’s national hosts”. The
following text outlines the history of Osama Bin Laden and the links of
the Islamic “Jihad” to the formulation of US foreign policy during the
Cold War and its aftermath. Prime suspect in the New York and Washington terrorists attacks,
branded by the FBI as an “international terrorist” for his role in the
African US embassy bombings, Saudi born Osama bin Laden was recruited
during the Soviet-Afghan war “ironically under the auspices of the CIA,
to fight Soviet invaders”. 1 In 1979 “the largest covert operation in the history of the CIA” was
launched in response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in support of
the pro-Communist government of Babrak Kamal.2:
With the active encouragement of the CIA and Pakistan’s
ISI [Inter Services Intelligence], who wanted to turn the Afghan jihad
into a global war waged by all Muslim states against the Soviet Union,
some 35,000 Muslim radicals from 40 Islamic countries joined
Afghanistan’s fight between 1982 and 1992. Tens of thousands more came
to study in Pakistani madrasahs. Eventually more than 100,000 foreign
Muslim radicals were directly influenced by the Afghan jihad.3
The Islamic “jihad” was supported by the United States and Saudi
Arabia with a significant part of the funding generated from the Golden
Crescent drug trade:
In March 1985, President Reagan signed
National Security Decision Directive 166,…[which] authorize[d]
stepped-up covert military aid to the mujahideen, and it made clear that
the secret Afghan war had a new goal: to defeat Soviet troops in
Afghanistan through covert action and encourage a Soviet withdrawal. The
new covert U.S. assistance began with a dramatic increase in arms
supplies — a steady rise to 65,000 tons annually by 1987, … as well as a
“ceaseless stream” of CIA and Pentagon specialists who traveled to the
secret headquarters of Pakistan’s ISI on the main road near Rawalpindi,
Pakistan. There the CIA specialists met with Pakistani intelligence
officers to help plan operations for the Afghan rebels.4
President Reagan and Mujahideen leaders from Afghanistan
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) using Pakistan’s military
Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) played a key role in training the
Mujahideen. In turn, the CIA sponsored guerrilla training was integrated
with the teachings of Islam:
“Predominant themes were that Islam was a complete
socio-political ideology, that holy Islam was being violated by the
atheistic Soviet troops, and that the Islamic people of Afghanistan
should reassert their independence by overthrowing the leftist Afghan
regime propped up by Moscow.”5
Pakistan’s Intelligence Apparatus
Pakistan’s ISI was used as a “go-between”. The CIA covert support to
the “jihad” operated indirectly through the Pakistani ISI, –i.e. the CIA
did not channel its support directly to the Mujahideen. In other words,
for these covert operations to be “successful”, Washington was careful
not to reveal the ultimate objective of the “jihad”, which consisted in
destroying the Soviet Union. In the words of CIA’s Milton Beardman “We didn’t train Arabs”. Yet
according to Abdel Monam Saidali, of the Al-aram Center for Strategic
Studies in Cairo, bin Laden and the “Afghan Arabs” had been imparted
“with very sophisticated types of training that was allowed to them by
the CIA” 6 CIA’s Beardman confirmed, in this regard, that Osama bin Laden was
not aware of the role he was playing on behalf of Washington. In the
words of bin Laden (quoted by Beardman): “neither I, nor my brothers saw
evidence of American help”. 7 Motivated by nationalism and religious fervor, the Islamic warriors
were unaware that they were fighting the Soviet Army on behalf of Uncle
Sam. While there were contacts at the upper levels of the intelligence
hierarchy, Islamic rebel leaders in theatre had no contacts with
Washington or the CIA. With CIA backing and the funneling of massive amounts of US military
aid, the Pakistani ISI had developed into a “parallel structure wielding
enormous power over all aspects of government”. 8 The ISI had a staff
composed of military and intelligence officers, bureaucrats, undercover
agents and informers, estimated at 150,000. 9 Meanwhile, CIA operations had also reinforced the Pakistani military regime led by General Zia Ul Haq:
‘Relations between the CIA and the ISI
[Pakistan's military intelligence] had grown increasingly warm following
[General] Zia’s ouster of Bhutto and the advent of the military
regime,’… During most of the Afghan war, Pakistan was more aggressively
anti-Soviet than even the United States. Soon after the Soviet military
invaded Afghanistan in 1980, Zia [ul Haq] sent his ISI chief to
destabilize the Soviet Central Asian states. The CIA only agreed to this
plan in October 1984…. `the CIA was more cautious than the Pakistanis.’
Both Pakistan and the United States took the line of deception on
Afghanistan with a public posture of negotiating a settlement while
privately agreeing that military escalation was the best course.”10
The Golden Crescent Drug Triangle
The history of the drug trade in Central Asia is intimately related
to the CIA’s covert operations. Prior to the Soviet-Afghan war, opium
production in Afghanistan and Pakistan was directed to small regional
markets. There was no local production of heroin. 11 In this regard,
Alfred McCoy’s study confirms that within two years of the onslaught of
the CIA operation in Afghanistan, “the Pakistan-Afghanistan borderlands
became the world’s top heroin producer, supplying 60 percent of U.S.
demand. In Pakistan, the heroin-addict population went from near zero in
1979… to 1.2 million by 1985 — a much steeper rise than in any other
nation”:12
CIA assets again controlled this heroin trade. As the
Mujahideen guerrillas seized territory inside Afghanistan, they ordered
peasants to plant opium as a revolutionary tax. Across the border in
Pakistan, Afghan leaders and local syndicates under the protection of
Pakistan Intelligence operated hundreds of heroin laboratories. During
this decade of wide-open drug-dealing, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency
in Islamabad failed to instigate major seizures or arrests … U.S.
officials had refused to investigate charges of heroin dealing by its
Afghan allies `because U.S. narcotics policy in Afghanistan has been
subordinated to the war against Soviet influence there.’ In 1995, the
former CIA director of the Afghan operation, Charles Cogan, admitted the
CIA had indeed sacrificed the drug war to fight the Cold War. `Our main
mission was to do as much damage as possible to the Soviets. We didn’t
really have the resources or the time to devote to an investigation of
the drug trade,’… `I don’t think that we need to apologize for this.
Every situation has its fallout…. There was fallout in terms of drugs,
yes. But the main objective was accomplished. The Soviets left
Afghanistan.’13
In the Wake of the Cold War
In the wake of the Cold War, the Central Asian region is not only
strategic for its extensive oil reserves, it also produces three
quarters of the World’s opium representing multibillion dollar revenues
to business syndicates, financial institutions, intelligence agencies
and organized crime. The annual proceeds of the Golden Crescent drug
trade (between 100 and 200 billion dollars) represents approximately one
third of the Worldwide annual turnover of narcotics, estimated by the
United Nations to be of the order of $500 billion.14 With
the disintegration of the Soviet Union, a new surge in opium production
has unfolded. (According to UN estimates, the production of opium in
Afghanistan in 1998-99 — coinciding with the build up of armed
insurgencies in the former Soviet republics– reached a record high of
4600 metric tons.15 Powerful business syndicates in the former Soviet
Union allied with organized crime are competing for the strategic
control over the heroin routes. The ISI’s extensive intelligence military-network was not dismantled
in the wake of the Cold War. The CIA continued to support the Islamic
“jihad” out of Pakistan. New undercover initiatives were set in motion
in Central Asia, the Caucasus and the Balkans. Pakistan’s military and
intelligence apparatus essentially “served as a catalyst for the
disintegration of the Soviet Union and the emergence of six new Muslim
republics in Central Asia.” 16. Meanwhile, Islamic missionaries of the Wahhabi sect from Saudi Arabia
had established themselves in the Muslim republics as well as within
the Russian federation encroaching upon the institutions of the secular
State. Despite its anti-American ideology, Islamic fundamentalism was
largely serving Washington’s strategic interests in the former Soviet
Union. Following the withdrawal of Soviet troops in 1989, the civil war in
Afghanistan continued unabated. The Taliban were being supported by the
Pakistani Deobandis and their political party the
Jamiat-ul-Ulema-e-Islam (JUI). In 1993, JUI entered the government
coalition of Prime Minister Benazzir Bhutto. Ties between JUI, the Army
and ISI were established. In 1995, with the downfall of the
Hezb-I-Islami Hektmatyar government in Kabul, the Taliban not only
instated a hardline Islamic government, they also “handed control of
training camps in Afghanistan over to JUI factions…” 17 And the JUI with the support of the Saudi Wahhabi movements played a
key role in recruiting volunteers to fight in the Balkans and the former
Soviet Union. Jane Defense Weekly confirms in this regard that “half of Taliban
manpower and equipment originate[d] in Pakistan under the ISI” 18 In fact, it would appear that following the Soviet withdrawal both
sides in the Afghan civil war continued to receive covert support
through Pakistan’s ISI. 19 In other words, backed by Pakistan’s military intelligence (ISI)
which in turn was controlled by the CIA, the Taliban Islamic State was
largely serving American geopolitical interests. The Golden Crescent
drug trade was also being used to finance and equip the Bosnian Muslim
Army (starting in the early 1990s) and the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA).
In last few months there is evidence that Mujahideen mercenaries are
fighting in the ranks of KLA-NLA terrorists in their assaults into
Macedonia. No doubt, this explains why Washington has closed its eyes on the
reign of terror imposed by the Taliban including the blatant derogation
of women’s rights, the closing down of schools for girls, the dismissal
of women employees from government offices and the enforcement of “the
Sharia laws of punishment”.20
The War in Chechnya
With regard to Chechnya, the main rebel leaders Shamil Basayev and Al
Khattab were trained and indoctrinated in CIA sponsored camps in
Afghanistan and Pakistan. According to Yossef Bodansky, director of the
U.S. Congress’s Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, the
war in Chechnya had been planned during a secret summit of HizbAllah
International held in 1996 in Mogadishu, Somalia. 21 The summit, was
attended by Osama bin Laden and high-ranking Iranian and Pakistani
intelligence officers. In this regard, the involvement of Pakistan’s ISI
in Chechnya “goes far beyond supplying the Chechens with weapons and
expertise: the ISI and its radical Islamic proxies are actually calling
the shots in this war”. 22 Russia’s main pipeline route transits through Chechnya and Dagestan.
Despite Washington’s perfunctory condemnation of Islamic terrorism, the
indirect beneficiaries of the Chechen war are the Anglo-American oil
conglomerates which are vying for control over oil resources and
pipeline corridors out of the Caspian Sea basin. The two main Chechen rebel armies (respectively led by Commander
Shamil Basayev and Emir Khattab) estimated at 35,000 strong were
supported by Pakistan’s ISI, which also played a key role in organizing
and training the Chechen rebel army:
“[In 1994] the Pakistani Inter Services Intelligence
arranged for Basayev and his trusted lieutenants to undergo intensive
Islamic indoctrination and training in guerrilla warfare in the Khost
province of Afghanistan at Amir Muawia camp, set up in the early 1980s
by the CIA and ISI and run by famous Afghani warlord Gulbuddin
Hekmatyar. In July 1994, upon graduating from Amir Muawia, Basayev was
transferred to Markaz-i-Dawar camp in Pakistan to undergo training in
advanced guerrilla tactics. In Pakistan, Basayev met the highest ranking
Pakistani military and intelligence officers: Minister of Defense
General Aftab Shahban Mirani, Minister of Interior General Naserullah
Babar, and the head of the ISI branch in charge of supporting Islamic
causes, General Javed Ashraf, (all now retired). High-level connections
soon proved very useful to Basayev.”23
Chechen leader Basayev
Following his training and indoctrination stint, Basayev was assigned
to lead the assault against Russian federal troops in the first Chechen
war in 1995. His organization had also developed extensive links to
criminal syndicates in Moscow as well as ties to Albanian organized
crime and the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). In 1997-98, according to
Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) “Chechen warlords started buying
up real estate in Kosovo… through several real estate firms registered
as a cover in Yugoslavia” 24 Basayev’s organisation has also been involved in a number of rackets
including narcotics, illegal tapping and sabotage of Russia’s oil
pipelines, kidnapping, prostitution, trade in counterfeit dollars and
the smuggling of nuclear materials (See Mafia linked to Albania’s
collapsed pyramids, 25 Alongside the extensive laundering of drug money,
the proceeds of various illicit activities have been funneled towards
the recruitment of mercenaries and the purchase of weapons. During his training in Afghanistan, Shamil Basayev linked up with
Saudi born veteran Mujahideen Commander “Al Khattab” who had fought as a
volunteer in Afghanistan. Barely a few months after Basayev’s return to
Grozny, Khattab was invited (early 1995) to set up an army base in
Chechnya for the training of Mujahideen fighters. According to the BBC,
Khattab’s posting to Chechnya had been “arranged through the
Saudi-Arabian based [International] Islamic Relief Organisation, a
militant religious organisation, funded by mosques and rich individuals
which channeled funds into Chechnya”.26
Concluding Remarks
Since the Cold War era, Washington has consciously supported Osama
bin Laden, while at same time placing him on the FBI’s “most wanted
list” as the World’s foremost terrorist. While the Mujahideen are busy fighting America’s war in the Balkans
and the former Soviet Union, the FBI –operating as a US based Police
Force- is waging a domestic war against terrorism, operating in some
respects independently of the CIA which has –since the Soviet-Afghan
war– supported international terrorism through its covert operations. In a cruel irony, while the Islamic jihad –featured by the Bush
Adminstration as “a threat to America”– is blamed for the terrorist
assaults on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, these same Islamic
organisations constitute a key instrument of US military-intelligence
operations in the Balkans and the former Soviet Union. In the wake of the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, the
truth must prevail to prevent the Bush Adminstration together with its
NATO partners from embarking upon a military adventure which threatens
the future of humanity. Michel Chossudovsky is the author of the international best America’s “War on Terrorism”

You unpatriotic ‘9/11 Truthers’ can
have annual conspiracy conventions on 9/11, with a host of speakers. To
use a Russian expression, the dogs may bark as the train roars along.
You are the dogs, and we are the train. Keep whining. We will keep on
declaring ourselves unconvinced. We still own the TV, we still own the
military, and you can chatter on the internet all you want as you fade
into ineffectual obscurity. (Tongue-in-cheek satire from fellow9/11 Truth-seekerGreg Ziegler PhD, a former US Military Intel officer and retired professor, whose commentary inspired this column)
This week will mark the 14th
anniversary of 9/11/01 and the beginning of America’s bankrupting
endless war against any and all so-called foreign enemies that, in the
opinion of the ruling elites, need to have their sovereign nations
destabilized so that various economic and corporate predators can gain
access to the resources of the region.
Thousands of ethical,
intelligent, scholarly, science-based, peace-loving, truth-seeking and
once patriotic researchers (seeing through the absurd conclusions widely
promulgated starting on 9/11/01) have endured far too many years of
black-listings by those who really know better – namely our willfully
ignorant (or frankly deceptive) ruling elites (of both political
parties) and their co-opted co-conspirators in the mass media who have
obediently enforced the black-listings.
Galileo was a Fellow Truth–teller
Those of us who consider
ourselves honorable 9/11 Truth-seekers understand how Galileo Galilei
felt when his scientifically provable truth (that the earth revolved
around the sun) was brutally suppressed by the ruling clerical elites of
the 16th century.
Of course his run-in with
church authorities was partly incited because he couldn’t refrain from
pointing out that, because of his astronomical findings, he had proof
that certain passages in the Bible couldn’t be true, thus claiming that
the Bible was not inerrant. Cognitive dissonance erupted in the Vatican,
and Galileo was declared a heretic and an enemy of the church. His
books were banned, he was forbidden by the Inquisition to teach his
“heresy” and he was placed under house arrest for the rest of his life.
It took 4 centuries for the church to admit its error, thus
inadvertently admitting that the Bible was not inerrant.
The enforced silence by the
mass media concerning the Crime and Cover-up of the Century (the events
of 9/11/01) should have been over long ago, that is, if there was any
justice in this nation.
Is Courageous Investigative Journalism Dead?
If real investigative
journalism was still alive and kicking in our corporatized, for profit
media environment, and if exposing Big Lies was still regarded as
important in our dying democracy, the black-listing of 9/11
truth-seekers and the court of law-worthy evidence that they have
collected would have been celebrated and not denigrated.
But the absurd official,
media-blessed version of what happened on 9/11/01 has been proven to be
totally false and the consequences of the failure of our (mis) leaders
to admit that they have been bamboozled by the Big Lie have been
devastating to the world. The consequences of the illegal and fraudulent
invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, orchestrated under the guise of
several Big Lies by the Cheney/Bush administration are still being
played out in the millions of war refugees in the region that are
desperately trying to leave the war-torn nations that the Pentagon
helped to destabilize.
The endless wars that began
in earnest after 9/11, and the constitution-shredding Patriot Acts and
Homeland Security Act, had all been planned long before the three towers
came down, and the recurring wars of retaliation (“Saddam tried to kill
my daddy” – G. W. Bush) and resource theft (OIL = Operation Iraq
Liberation) had likewise been planned ahead of time. Critics of American
imperialism totally understand that “Great Satans” make good use of
“Big Lies”.
The millions of
whistle-blowers among us who have done the deep thinking, the heavy work
and the research into what REALLY happened on 9/11 (and why) have
become disillusioned with many previously respected politicians (of both
political parties) who have run away from the unwelcome truths about
the Crime and Cover-u of the Century. I have long wondered what could be
wrong with those that accuse me and my 9/11 Truth-seeking colleagues of
being lunatic, low-life “conspiracy theorists”.
The PNAC, the Real Conspiratorial Group that Needs to be Subpoenaed
So, partly to understand
things from the standpoint of those false accusers, I have devised the
monologue further below. It is my representation of what is the real
attitude of the guilty parties (starting with the Project for the New
American Century [PNAC], an outgrowth of the NeoConservative think tank,
the American Enterprise Institute, whose purpose, among other things,
was to increase military spending, subvert the United Nations and spread
democracy/capitalism around the world through the barrel of a gun, and
thus enrich PNAC’s already wealthy corporate interests, that included
millionaire politicians, billionaire corporate war-profiteers, Wall
Street financiers, oath-taking militarists and the corporate-controlled
media.
Here is a brief summary of
PNAC’s goals. The original members admitted that the goals would be
difficult to implement without a catastrophic catalyzing event such as a
“new Pearl Harbor” Enter 9/11/01.
Following is a scary list
of some of the nefarious, hard right-wing ruling class elites who signed
on to the PNAC’s statement of principles, which can be found at
This partial list of PNAC
members (which makes my skin crawl) includes William Kristol (founder
and chairman), Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Jeb Bush,
John Bolton, Richard Perle, James Wolsey, Elliot Abrams, Eliot Cohen,
Dan Quayle, Gary Bauer, Donald Kagan, William J. Bennett, Scooter Libby,
Vin Weber, Norman Podhoretz, Steve Forbes and others, many of whom
officially and/or unofficially joined the Cheney/Bush administration
after the election was infamously stolen.
Despite their roles in
leading America into the illegal and unconstitutional wars for oil that
has resulted in millions of innocent men, women and children dead,
wounded and homeless, none but Scooter Libby has spent any time in jail.
Go figure.
The politicians,
billionaire war-profiteers, Wall Street financiers, oath-taking
militarists and the corporate-controlled media are groups that comprise
the infamous chronically conspiratorial
military/industrial/congressional/media complex, subgroups of which were
certainly among the planners or orchestrators of the controlled
demolitions of the three World Trade Center buildings or were part of
the massive cover-up of various criminal conspiracies. Many of these
groups have helped to suppress the independent investigations that would
have brought the provable truth to the light of day if they had not
been co-opted by political or economic imperatives.
All the existing evidence
that has been accrued over the past 14 years proves that there are many
guilty people and groups – hiding in plain sight – that conspired to
plan, execute or cover-up the dirty deeds surrounding 9/11. Below is
what I imagine a leader of such a group of conspirators would say. (To
really get into the exercise, imagine that some punitive, inquisitorial
humanoid that has the visage of a Dick Cheney, for example, is uttering
the words.)
The 9/11 Perp Speaks
You 9/11 conspiracy nuts
have no power, so suck it. You are in a minority, even though you have
found out the truth about what we did. Granted, you have a lot of
intelligent folks, scientists, architects, engineers, pilots, retired
CIA types, physicists, mathematicians, theologians, etc who are involved
in the movement, but my Republican Party, with a lot of Democratic
Party member help, has gone to great lengths to publicly demean
scientists and intellectuals of all stripes. We have wildly succeeded in
this effort to demonize your 9/11 Truth movement; witness the fact that
the majority of lower class conservatives and those with double digit
IQs are no longer interested in the truth. My Republican friends are
totally on board as well and it is the rare progressive Democrat or
Libertarian that has had the guts to speak out about it. Look at what
happened to Paul Wellstone when he kept putting his nose into areas that
we warned him to stay away from.
Of course, you liberal
low-lifes don’t have the mass media behind you, especially the innately
conservative publishers and editors. We have relied on them to toe the
line on the 9/11 Big Lie. And they totally complied. Our admittedly
absurd White House conspiracy theory has been re-told by our compliant
media so many times and for so many years that it is now accepted as
truth, thanks to the White House-generated media blitz that began on Day
One. I can’t tell you how we did it, but the press got on board with
the false flag operation by Day Two. No reporter questioned the official
trumped up story after 9/12/01. The power of the mass media can’t be
easily overcome and you don’t own it. My advice to you creeps is to give
it up.
Joseph Goebbels and the Big Lie
If you jerks haven’t yet
understood how Big Lie propaganda agendas work, just recall what one of
our spiritual predecessors – Joseph Goebbels (Hitler’s Minister of
Propaganda and Public Enlightenment) – managed to do in Germany. By
constantly re-telling the Fascist Big Lie on the radio 24/7, by banning
independent, alternative radio broadcasts, by smashing every liberal
printing press in Germany and by silencing the truth-tellers, Goebbels
got Good Germans to believe that anti-fascists, leftists, democrats,
liberal editors, investigative journalists, trade unionists, antiwar
activists, socialists, communists and Jews deserved to be threatened,
black-listed, banned, fired from their jobs, imprisoned and even
executed. The infamous Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy learned a lot
about the Big Lie from the Nazis.
You leftist creeps are just
do-gooder, tree-huggers who aspire to real democracy, where truth and
the common good is more important than national security, corporate
profits and empire-building. Don’t you realize that compassion,
fairness, forgiveness, negotiation and consideration for the little guy
are for political losers? In real politics, no good deeds go
un-punished.
Our NeoConservative
movement has experienced a number of setbacks, including the failure of
the attempted fascist coup against FDR back in 1934, thanks to Major
General Smedley Butler’s high ethical standards that inspired him to rat
on us. One of therecent setbacks came about during the Nixon era, when
his careless attempts at achieving totalitarianism failed. Be warned
that we are more careful now. We learned some valuable lessons.
You puny whistle-blowers
learned how powerless you are when we cunningly created “free-speech
zones” where antifascist protesters like you will be herded whenever any
of our politicians comes to campaign in your districts. We admit that
the First Amendment is being abused, but it worked out well for our
secret agendas that we don’t want exposed. We can’t have any public
expressions of dissent that might make it into the press, you know. We
have heard the maxim of how truth will eventually come out, but, in the
case of 9/11, we are going to delay its emergence as long as possible,
preferably until after we perps are dead.
And as long as we are
talking about the First Amendment that guarantees free speech, we freely
admit that we have co-opted the major political debate organizers to
forbid questions about 1) the anomalies of 9/11, 2) the affordability
(or wisdom) of America’s out-of-control global militarization, 3)
America’s economic colonization (quasi-enslavement), 4) the corporate
control of the media or 5) the ruthless corporate exploitation of the
developing world’s natural resources. That list of taboos questions is,
of course, incomplete.
Those of us in positions of
political or economic power in the 400 or so American right-wing think
tanks want you mis-guided anti-fascists to understand that the
blindered, uber-patriotic types so common in our society are easily
mobilized to our causes by just waving the flag, especially when claims
of national security are brought up. So you may as well give up your
opposition; those folks don’t want to know any more about 9/11 than what
the elites want them to know.
You lowly leftists can’t
possibly win on this one, especially when majority of America’s voters
are kept totally unaware of unpleasant truths (like what really happened
on 9/11). Most of them would rather be left unchallenged by ANY new
realities that would make them feel uncomfortable. Talk about your
cognitive dissonance.
Even you creeps understand
what a powerful motivator is the reality of cognitive dissonance. We
rely on that a lot. Folks that don’t have very good critical thinking
skills feel anxious when they are confronted with a new truth that
contradicts their deeply held beliefs. And so they deny obvious truths
or plug their ears or close their eyes to avoid the emotional distress
that comes from admitting that they might have been wrong.
At this point, because we
have already won in the court of public opinion, I am willing to admit
that the 9/11 Truth-seeker’s findings are true and that you have
disproved the Big Lies about 9/11. But it won’t do you any good; we will
continue to deny that I said any such thing.
Keeping in mind my intent
to deny what is obvious to even the casual observer, let me go through
the impossible-to-substantiate, indeed absurd, White House Conspiracy
Theory (a provably false Big Lie). That conspiracy theory says that 19
young Saudi Arabian terrorists who had never learned how to fly a
commercial jet plane (impossibly) hi-jacked (with box-cutters, no less!)
and then (impossibly) crashed two such planes at (impossibly) high
speeds into two massively steel-reinforced 110 floor New York City
skyscrapers (that were designed to withstand more than one such crash).
The crash was said to have caused (very brief) jet fuel fires that
(impossibly) caused both towers to self- pulverize into fine dust
(except for paper and neatly-sectioned 30 foot long girders). Three
skyscrapers that day (impossibly) collapsed into their own footprints
within 15 seconds each. All of that happened because of brief jet fuel
fires that burned out within minutes.
The White House Conspiracy
Theory also claimed that one of the four allegedly hi-jacked planes
crashed into the Pentagon and a second one (impossibly) disappeared into
a small smoking slit in a field in Pennsylvania, neither one leaving
even small traces of the 100,000 pounds of aluminum (impossible). Making
the story even more unbelievably impossible was the fact that no
airplane wings, no tail section, no massive titanium engines, no black
box, no bodies, no luggage were recovered at either so-called crash
site! And there was no attempt to search the slit and try to rescue
survivors – because the “rescuers” knew that no plane had crashed there.
Here are a couple more
reasons why you idealists should just give up trying to convince the
public about the truth of 9/11, even though we both agree that the
official conspiracy theory is a fraud and your conspiracy fact is indeed
fact.
For one thing, there are
36,000,000 American football fans who spend huge amounts of time and
energy (and money) playing Fantasy Football. Many spend much of their
non-working hours thinking about, planning for, betting on and then
watching more than one Sunday NFL game. Then there is all the time spent
watching Monday Night Football, Thursday Night Football, Friday’s high
school games and more than one college football game on Saturday. Some
of these fans waste entire week-ends as couch potatoes. And that is just
the energy exerted during football season. Multiply football addiction
by the other spectator sports (not mentioning the sports many
participate in) such as major league, collegiate and high school
basketball, hockey, baseball and soccer and you can see your problem. Do
you think that you are going to interest many from that group to
educate themselves or contact their congresspersons or go to the streets
demanding truth and justice, even with the importance surrounding this
particular issue that has so seriously impacted the lives and futures of
their children and the planet? Don’t delude yourself.
I repeat, you liberal
loonies may as well give up your efforts at truth-telling and
truth-seeking. Trust me; it won’t work out for you. Far too many
short-attention spanned Americans are addicted to trivial pursuits like
video gaming, gambling, pornography, entertainment, the acquisition,
ingestion or selling of legal and illegal brain-altering drugs to pay
any attention to your lost cause. Too many voters (and their children)
are watching our neatly co-opted mass media 8 hours EVERY day and/or are
struggling to survive on less than living wages. Trying to organize a
grass roots effort concerning 9/11 Truth with that reality in mind seems
foolish to me. Give it up. Even with the overwhelming evidence of our
guilt that you have proven to me, you are still going to lose.
More Profoundly Truthful Quotes from Some Historical Masters of the Big Lie
In conclusion, let me quote
for you some true statements from two of our other spiritual forbears,
Hermann Goering, Hitler’s # 2, a member of the Nazi equivalent of
America’s Joint Chiefs of Staff and a colleague of the liberal-hating
Goebbels.
During the Nuremberg Trials Goering honestly expressed what every politician and war-mongering militarist knows to be true.
‘Why of course the
people don’t want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk
his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to
his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don’t want war;
neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That
is understood.
But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along,
whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament,
or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice the people can always be
brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do
is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for
lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same
in any country.’
You tree-huggers can’t beat that strategy. Another one
of our inspirations was Adolf Hitler. He knew what he was talking about
when he said:
‘What good fortune for those in power that the people do not think…It
gives us a very special, secret pleasure to see how unaware the people
around us are of what is really happening to them…Through clever and
constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise
as hell, and also the other way around, to consider the most wretched
sort of life as paradise.’
Der Fuhrer also said:
‘The fascist state must not forget that all means must serve the ends; it must not let itself be confused by the drivel about so-called freedom of the press…it must make sure that (the media) is placed in the service of the state.’
It is suggested that everybody watch one
or more of the fine documentaries on YouTube, perhaps starting with
“9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out.”
Dr. Kohls is a retired
physician who practiced holistic mental health care for the last decade
of his career. He has been involved in peace and justice issues for
decades and continues to speak out against totalitarianism, fascism,
corporatism, militarism, racism and other anti-democratic movements. He
is a member of Medical Professionals for 9/11Truth. A number of his
columns that have dealt with 9/11 Truth-seeking can be found at http://duluthreader.com/articles/categories/200_Duty_to_Warn,
where can be found references to numerous websites that overwhelmingly
disprove the Cheney/Bush White House Conspiracy Theories about 9/11.
