Morons, Magic and Monbiot

In “Bayoneting a Scarecrow The 9/11 conspiracy theories are a coward’s cult”” (Guardian, February 20), George Monbiot accuses members of the 9/11 truth movement of being “morons” and “idiots” who believe in “magic.”





In his Reply to Monbiot, David Ray Griffin writes:

One of the reasons these people reject the government’s conspiracy theory is that, if they were to accept the official account of the destruction of the World Trade Centre, they would need to affirm magical beliefs.

A few examples:

The Twin Towers came straight down, which means that each building’s 287 steel columns all had to fail simultaneously; to believe this could happen without explosives is to believe in magic.

At the onset of each tower’s collapse, steel beams were ejected out as far as 600 feet; to believe that these horizontal ejections could be explained by gravitational energy, which is vertical, is to believe in magic.

Virtually all of the concrete in the towers was pulverized into extremely fine dust particles; to believe that fire plus gravity could have done this is to believe in magic.

WTC 7 and the towers came down at virtually free-fall speed, meaning that the lower floors, with all their steel and concrete, provided no resistance to the upper floors; to believe this could happen without explosives is to believe in magic.

Pools of molten metal were found under each building. Because steel does not begin to melt until it reaches about 1,540°C and yet the fires could not have gotten over 1000°C, to accept the fire theory is to believe in magic.

Monbiot, regarding the 9/11 truth movement’s conspiracy theory as a wrong-headed distraction, fails to see that the obviously false and truly distracting conspiracy theory is the official 9/11 myth, which has been used to justify imperial wars and increased militarism, thereby distracting attention from global apartheid and the ecological crisis. We focus on the 9/11 myth because, until it is exposed, getting our governments to focus wholeheartedly on the truly urgent issues of our time will be impossible.

'Scooter' Libby going after a new trial

By MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN
Wed Mar 7, 10:16 PM ET

WASHINGTON - Attorneys for I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby began crafting a request for a new trial Wednesday as the Bush White House tried to knock down speculation about a pardon for the convicted former aide.

Anonymous Comment on PJF's Blogsite

I like it on lamb chops.

Scooter Libby looking forlorn and nervous Monday night at what proved to be a last supper of sorts at Chef Geoff's downtown. The former Cheney aide sat with a large group, including attorney Ted Wells, but while the others dug into dinner entrees and cocktails, Libby just picked at a small endive salad. He did have his share of the table's three bottles of red, though.

Some last notes:

Now our very Special Prosecutor has left all his ducks in a row. Gerbil has only 4 options for pardoning Scooter.

1) If he pardons Libby now it will look awfully bad for himself & Cheney.

2) If he waits until the appeal process is over, he will put the '08 election in jeopardy for his party.

3) If he waits until Jan '09, when he leaves office, Scooter may have to serve a short sentance.

4) Or he could not pardon Libby at all, and let him rot in jail.

If he does one of the first 2, he will be driving himself & Cheney (most likely with the help of the Republican party) towards the impeachment scenario.

If he does either of the latter two, he risks Libby squealing to get a reduced sentence, thereby implicating the Prez & Veep.

Fitzgerald has closed Gerbil in at all sides. How sweet it is. In the meantime, Ms Plame & Mr Wilson will have their day in court, and Oh, what a fun time that will be!

Vermont towns seek to impeach Bush, pull U.S. troops

By Jason Szep

March 6

More than 30 Vermont towns passed resolutions on Tuesday seeking to impeach President Bush, while at least 16 towns in the tiny New England state called on Washington to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq.

Will Bush pardon Scooter Libby?

Article 2 of the Constitution says the president "shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment."

Let’s see who the lucky recipients of this award have been in recent years:

President George H.W. Bush pardoned former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger for his role in the Iran-contra, arms-for-hostages scandal and Elliott Abrams, currently the Middle East expert on the White House National Security Council.

President Bill Clinton granted Marc Rich immunity from prosecution on tax evasion charges.

President George W. Bush has granted 113 pardons so far in his two terms, mostly involving minor lawbreakers, including a convicted moonshiner.

White House spokeswoman Dana Perino is being somewhat coy upon the prospect.

Blair in a boater, a crude hand gesture, and the Class of '75

In his youth, Tony Blair's rebellious streak often landed him in trouble. He was almost expelled from school for persistent rule-breaking and was once arrested as he tried to climb into his dormitory through a window.

The future Prime Minister remained equally impish when at Oxford - as this extraordinary picture of him making a lewd hand gesture demonstrates.

One of his contemporaries revealed that the young Blair was lucky to escape a second brush with the law after "flashing" from a college window as a student prank.

Peregrine Sharrock gave a vivid account of how, in his final year reading law at St John's, Blair dropped his tennis shorts in the hope of attracting the attention of female staff at a solicitor's office across the road.

Fortunately for him, the women either failed to notice his full-frontal display or turned a blind eye to it, as no complaint was made to the college and the incident was forgotten - until now.

Show evidence that Diana was murdered, Fayed told

Robert Verkaik

Diana inquest delayed for six months

MICHAEL SEAMARK
UK Daily Mail
Tuesday, March 6, 2007

The inquests into the deaths of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed will be delayed by six months.

Lawyers representing Mohamed al Fayed applied for the case to be put back to that date yesterday because of the "massive amount of work" still to be done on preparing for the hearing.

In a quick response, Lady Butler-Sloss, the coroner conducting the inquests, issued a direction today setting out a fresh timetable, saying that she was adjourning the main hearing "to on or about October 1".

ROOSEVELT KNEW ABOUT PEARL HARBOR BEFORE IT HAPPENED!

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese navy and air force attacked the United States army, navy and air force units at PEARL HARBOR, HAWAII in what was called "A SURPRISE ATTACK."

The next day, President Franklin Roosevelt called the attack "A DAY OF INFAMY," and asked Congress for a Declaration of War.

It was granted, and America was in WORLD WAR TWO.

Many at the time questioned how "A SURPRISE ATTACK" could happen, and whether President Roosevelt should have known about it in advance and warned our forces in Hawaii.

NINE CONGRESSIONAL investigations were conducted, during and after the war, and each examined the question: DID PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT KNOW ABOUT THE ATTACK BEFORE IT HAPPENED, AND IF SO, WHY DID HE DO NOTHING TO PREPARE OUR FORCES.

And NINE CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATIONS all concluded that ROOSEVELT DID NOT KNOW IN ADVANCE!

A few years ago, I saw a photo copy of the HILO, HAWAII TRIBUNE HERALD newspaper of November 30, 1941, the Sunday before the attack. I called the HILO, HAWAII library and they photocopied the top half of their front page and sent it to me.

The HEADLINE of this newspaper reads:

JAPAN MAY STRIKE OVER WEEKEND

meaning the following weekend, Saturday, December 6th and Sunday, December 7th, 1941.

ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION:

How could this NEWSPAPER KNOW IN ADVANCE, but PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT DID NOT KNOW?

One could reasonably conclude that PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S INTELLIGENCE SOURCES were better than the NEWSPAPERS!

In other words, NINE CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATIONS WERE WRONG: President ROOSEVELT had to have known ......... even a Hawaii newspaper knew!!!

(If you want documented evidence that Roosevelt DID KNOW ABOUT THE ATTACK BEFORE IT HAPPENED, please read the pertinent chapter in the book I wrote entitled THE UNSEEN HAND, AN INTRODUCTION TO THE CONSPIRATORIAL VIEW OF HISTORY.

It is discussed in the catalog that follows this report.

Thank you for your interest.

Mineta's Testimony

Damning testimony by Norman Mineta that unequivocally implicates Dick Cheney in the plane crash into the Pentagon and possibly connects him to the downing of flight 93 in Pennsylvania.

The thing that stands out for me, besides what MR highlighted at WRH and the questions derdy raised at youtube, is that orders were given to take down commercial airlines, to the effect that Mineta was concerned that flight 93 was in fact shot down by our fighters, enough so that he actually consulted with the Pentagon to confirm whether or not that happened.

But, CLEARLY, orders were given NOT TO SHOOT down the flight that crashed into the Pentagon.

The question is WHY WOULD FIGHTERS TARGET 93 and NOT TARGET the flight that crashed into the Pentagon?

The only possible conclusion is that the Pentagon flight was headed for its designated target, whereas flight 93 WAS NOT.

Another thing that's odd is why don't they refer to the flight that hit the Pentagon by its flight number?

Don't they know which plane hit the Pentagon?

This is mind boggling - how did all this crucial information and its implications escape us for so long?

New WTC 7 Blockbuster One Of The Biggest Stories Of All Time

Chris|Information Liberation

The new WTC 7 revelations, in which BBC and CNN reporters tell of WTC 7's collapse as the building still stands, has sent shock waves throughout the internet and has become one of the biggest stories of all time. In just 2 days the footage has been seen by an absolute minimum of 270,000 people. The version on YouTube has over 140,000 views, and the version on Live Leak has over 130,000. The amount of other versions, as well as the original version which was deleted, are innumerable. All the videos are still growing at tremendous rates and will no doubt continue to spread like wildfire over the coming weeks.

The BBC, instead of attempting to explain how it could have reported this, has attempted to both evade and cloud the issue. The truth is that no one could have possibly predicted the building would collapse and here's why.

"The team also points to a 'disintegrating' international coalition, low troop morale, and potential increased Southern violence in the wake of the British pullout as obstacles to US success in Iraq."

"If independent reporters ever want to gain evidence that proves that elements within the U.S. government had prior knowledge of the 9/11 attacks but failed to defend against them, or even anticipated and then enhanced the impact of the events for future effect, then transcripts of bin Laden’s U.S. intercepted communications between January – September 2001 would most likely make the case."

How Blair plans to resurrect the EU constitution

Tony Blair was yesterday accused of preparing to usher in a European Constitution by the back door.

He is expected to sign a declaration of intent next month which will pave the way for elements of the constitution, rejected by voters in France and the Netherlands, to be reintroduced.

Senior Cabinet sources last night warned that the Prime Minister is pushing hard for Brussels to be given a full-time unelected president,who would serve a fiveyear term and speak as the voice of Europe on the world stage.
This would end the current arrangement where each country holds the title on a revolving basis for six months at a time.

Kelly death not suicide, says MP

An MP investigating the death of Dr David Kelly says he is convinced the weapons scientist did not kill himself.

Norman Baker tells BBC Two's The Conspiracy Files he has reached the conclusion Dr Kelly's life was "deliberately taken by others".

Hutton reached a verdict of suicide but a public inquest was never completed.

Dr Kelly, whose body was found in July 2003, had been under intense pressure after being named as the suspected source of a BBC report claiming the government "sexed up" a dossier on the threat posed by Iraq.

Hijack Suspects Still Alive & Well in 2007

Nineeleven.co.uk

Thursday, February 22, 2007

Last Sunday the BBC aired a documentary specifically designed to debunk 9/11 conspiracy theories. However, it contained many distortions, lies, and ommissions. In September 2001, the BBC’s web site ran a number of stories alerting us to the fact that many of the alleged hijackers were turning up alive and well. Here is one of them.

Hijack Suspects Alive and Well

The BBC documentary failed to mention it’s own stories debunking the official 9/11 “narrative.“ These three articles below explain the documentary's flaws in much more detail:

BBC Hit Piece a Tissue of Lies, Bias and Emotional Manipulation

Outraged truth community demands answers from Guy Smith, immediate retractions and apologies urged, savage agenda driven yellow journalism an insult to the truth

Producer Struggles to Defend Flaws & Bias of BBC Hit Piece

Guy Smith says 'we can debate these issues all day' without being able to debate any of them

BBC's 9/11 Conspiracy Files: Points Which Were Ignored

In the run up to the programme, the BBC web site also ran many hit pieces, alerting us to the fact that in no way would the documentary be honest or balanced. I happened to find this piece, which mentioned the original BBC web articles which alerted us to the fact that many alleged hijackers turned up alive and well:

An extract from the article explains more:

“The confusion over names and identities we reported back in 2001 may have arisen because these were common Arabic and Islamic names.”

“We recently asked the FBI for a statement, and this is, as things stand, the closest thing we have to a definitive view:

The FBI is confident that it has positively identified the nineteen hijackers responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Also, the 9/11 investigation was thoroughly reviewed by the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States and the House and Senate Joint Inquiry. Neither of these reviews ever raised the issue of doubt about the identity of the nineteen hijackers.”

This article was of interest to me, since I have used the original BBC articles in my attempts to lobby MPs about the fact that 9/11 was an Inside Job, a false flag terror operation. I have been doing so since October 2001, when I first visited my MP in Twickenham, London.

In the summer of 2002 I telephoned the FBI, and asked them why were they still listing people who were still alive on their lists of suspect hijackers. You can still look at these FBI lists here:

American Airlines #11

American Airlines #77

United Airlines #175

United Airlines #93

When I spoke to the FBI, they told me that the reason for the confusion was that the names were like John Smith in the West, i.e. very common names. I have never been able to back up this claim until this year, since I did not have equipment to record the phone call. But the BBC article now confirms exactly what I have been telling MPs since 2002.

However, here is the crunch. I then asked, well that’s fine. The names were the same. But then I asked, well why are you still showing their photos? Check yourself. The FBI to this very day is showing photographs of people who are very much alive and well.

When I asked this question to the FBI press officer, he became extremely angry and slammed the phone down on me.

And if you go back to the BBC’s 2007 article, they make no mention of the fact that the FBI have not removed the original photos.

I could go on to talk about the hijackers and their passports in much more detail. But I think this says it all, don’t you?

9/11: The Conspiracy Files: The BBC Joins The Ranks of the Untrustworthy United States Media

by Debbie Lewis

Global Research, February 24, 2007

More than five years after the disaster of September 11, 2001, England’s BBC stepped into the ring of media outlets airing programs about the tragedy that is now referred to as “9/11” on February 18, 2007. The program, entitled “9/11: The Conspiracy Files,” took the time to interview some well-known Americans on both sides of the 9/11 argument. The hour-long program looked as if it might reveal something worthwhile, for about nine minutes. Guests like the outspoken Alex Jones, 911 Scholars for Truth Co-Founder Dr. Jim Fetzer, and Loose Change producer Dylan Avery actually got to make several excellent points before the real conspiracy was revealed.

A little Town Called Oswiecim

BTW, has anybody heard of a little Polish town called Oswiecim? It’s situated about an hour’s bus ride to the west of the beautiful southern Polish city of Krakow. Situated outside the town stands a Konzentrazionslager dating from World War II. I visited it fifteen years ago to pay my respects to the many slave laborers who died there, making a nice little profit for somebody.

When we arrived in Oswiecim, I attempted to ask some school students on their way home in my limited Polish the way there. They didn’t seem to want to know.

As we stood on the bus (we eventually worked out how to get there), I was initially startled by the way that life just seems to go on there as if nothing had happened.

We eventually arrived at the gate which has the words, “Arbeit Macht Frei” above it (Yes, I am talking about Auschwitz, or Auschwitz 1, as it is more correctly called, to distinguish it from the much larger Auschwitz 2 or Auschwitz-Birkenau further down the road. It is Auschwitz 2 that features in the film, Schindler's List, although the film crew were not in fact allowed to film inside the former KL.

We paid for a ticket to the camp and the cinema and watched the Soviet-made film of the liberation of the KL in 1944. Faces of the inmates grateful to have been liberated by Glorious Red Army. Twins who’d been experimented on. No mention of the word Jew, although the overwelmingly vast majority of people who died there were Jewish.

We walked past the gallows on which Hans Frank, the Commandant of Auschwitz, had been hanged after the war (I found it impossible to suppress a feeling of satisfaction at this), the gas chamber, a crematorium, and past brick barracks dedicated to each of the nationalities who'd perished there, one dedicated to the 20,000 Soviet citizens who'd perished in the Great Patriotic War, though few had in fact died in Auschwitz.

By chance, we came across the Museum of Martyrology, walked in by the exit and saw the exhibition dediated to the Holocaust in reverse order, beginning with the culmination of the holocaust and going on to its beginnings in pre-war Germany.

I went there expecting to emote. Instead, I was overcome with a feeling of anger. Anger at the

Snow: Americans ‘Out of Touch With Reality’ In Iraq

Just weeks ago, President Bush insisted that the United States was “absolutely” winning in Iraq. Recently, as the casulties have mounted, he’s toned back his sunny rhetoric slightly, saying the United States was not “winning or losing.” Yet media reports indicate Bush believes the United States can win by sending 20,000 more troops to Iraq, a gambit that has been tried before and failed.

This prompted a reporter to ask White House Press Secretary Tony Snow if Bush was “fundamentally out of touch with what the reality is on the ground in Iraq?” Snow responded that “we may be out of touch with reality because we sit around and we look at fractional pictures on the screen.” Bush, on the other hand, “knows more than anybody in this room about what’s going on there.”

An entire army of lawyers and Grand juries couldn’t investigate all the crimes committed by this and previous administrations!

Waxman and Fitz have their work cut out for them just prioritizing the most important ones, and I’m not even sure they get that right!

Here’s some that have apparently been missed, or are still at the bottom of their in-tray, and I’m sure there’s enough evidence in all these cases to justify the convening of a grand jury.

• Death of JFK Sr
• Death of MLK
• Death of RFK
• Death of John Arthur Paisley
• Jonestown
• Death of John Lennon
• WACO
• Death of JFK Jr and his companions
• 9/11 (indeed Paul Mitchell has asked to present evidence on this one before g. jury)
• The Iraq War

By the way, a man called Michael L. Kathrein lost a case against a firm of lawyers whom he said were fleecing him, appealed and lost again.

He presented “evidence” of wrongdoing to PJF who, presumably, on the basis that the case had already been tried before a p. jury, and again on appeal, saw no further point in bringing it before a g. jury, and suggested Mitchell take his case to the FBI.

Kathrein then petitioned the SCOTUS for writ of Certiorari to be issued to the US Court of Appeals for the 7th circuit, arguing that

1. An American Citizen has a Constitutional right to petition the federal grand jury to investigate crimes committed against them.
2. An American Citizen has a statutory right to petition the federal grand jury to investigate crimes committed against them.
3. Members of the executive or judicial branches of government do not have the authority to block access to the grand jury.

Indeed, Paul Andrew Mitchell, private attorney general, believes that he has found a legally binding precedent throughout the judicial district of New York, and therefore in lower Manhattan, for “a private litigant” to “obtain a writ of mandamus to compel U.S. attorney to present facts concerning alleged criminal wrongdoing to grand jury.

Scarlett, author of the Iraq war dossier, is knighted

Nigel Morris and Kim Sengupta
London Independent
Saturday, December 30, 2006

John Scarlett, who took responsibility for the error-ridden dossier that justified the war in Iraq, is knighted in today's New Year's Honours list. The award will enrage peace campaigners, who have accused the veteran spymaster of saving Tony Blair's skin over the flawed case for the invasion.

The news came as a British soldier was killed by a roadside bomb in Basra yesterday, the 127th to die since the invasion in 2003.

Sir John, the head of MI6, played a key role in the Hutton Inquiry hearings into the death of the weapons expert David Kelly, three years ago. He steadfastly defended the dossier, which contained the notorious claim that Iraq could launch weapons of mass destruction in 45 minutes. And he dismissed accusations he had bowed to pressure to "sex up" the document's conclusions.

Anthony's Comment:

This is truly sickening!

They illegally invade a foreign country on the basis of a lie concocted under pressure by politicians, concoted by John Scarlett, head of MI6, that Saddam could launch WMDs against British territory (Cyprus?) in 45 mins, which constitutes a war crime.

Then they capture its leader, put him on trial and hang him for, wait for it, yes, war crimes!!!

Then they knight the man who took the rap for the sexed-up dossier.

All I can say is:

"Arise Sir John!"

The First casualty of War

History gets revised as history is being made, especially in time of war, let alone after the war is over and the victors can write what they like. As Churchill said, "The first casualty of war is truth".

You can bet your bottom dollar that if truth is indeed the first casualty of war, then by the time that war nears it's end, truth is in a pretty bad way!

A classical example of how history is revised is the way we were told, then and now, that we had to drop the bomb on Japan because they refused to surrender.

As Gore Vidal argues, on the basis of several published books with citations, the Japanese had been willing to surrender on the condition that they retained their emperor, and had been contacting the US admin through the embassies of neutral countries.

The US insisted on unconditional surrender and dropped the bomb, as Vidal says, to frighten the Russians.

And as it happened, McArthur decided to retain the emperor anyway.

As Voltaire said, "History is a lie that is generally agreed upon!" Wise words indeed!

Churchill also said that truth was so precious it had to be rationed which, frankly, I find deeply sinister.

A Tale of three exiles (4 actually): Kundera, Singer and Allende (and me!)

I've been slowly reading (for the 3rd time), Isabel Allende's House of the Spirits, and I've been reading the fictionalised, but true to history account of the coup and imposition of martial law in Chile.

Page after page of unrelenting horror.

What sticks out is that people thought that a coup couldn't happen here, could it.

And, then when it happened, they were in denail.

The right which had sanctioned it, expected the generals to hand power back to Parliament once they had sorted out the mess Allende was supposed to have got the country into, a mess orchestrated by the CIA and ITT.

Funny that three of my favourite books, all of which fall into the category of one or other kinds of magic realism, are written against the background of a coup or foreign invasion.

Milan Kundera's the unbearable Lightness of Being.

I read two essays by Milan Kundera on the Jewish contribution of the culture of Mitteleuropa (Mahler, Kafka), and how, after the annihilation of the Jews partitioning of Europe at Yalta, Central Europe ceased to exist and pan-slavism was imposed, and an extract from this book in the literary magazine, granta, in a hotel room in Arrezzo, one weekend back in 1985.

Because there was a long queue for the only copy of the English translation of this book when it came out later that year, I decided to buy it in Spanish and read it on the long trainride through the ever-changing landscape (greenery, desert, mountains) between the Basque country where I was living at the time and Madrid.

I had already begun to speak falteringly, and read, Spanish, but found the thick accent of Las Arenas very difficult to understand.

When I got to Madrid, I found I could speak Spanish better, either that, or the Madrilenos speak Spanish much more clearly.

I managed to book a hotel room without trouble at the station, and awoke the following morning feeling that I could speak a whole new language!

The second book is Isaac Bashevis Singer’s The Slave, about a Jew living in Poland in the aftermath of Bogdan Chmielnizki’s Cossack incursions into Poland in the seventeenth century.

And the third Isabel Allende’s The House of the Spirits.

Which brings me to the main point of this comment.

If the Chilean middle-classes thought that a coup could not possibly happen in Chile, are we any wiser?

Of, course it couldn’t happen here, could it?

Could it?

A happy new year everybody!

So, it’s official. Saddam executed.

Whatever his crimes, it makes me sick that Bush and Blair are going to get away scot free.

Bush and Blair invaded Iraq because, they would have us believe, Saddam posed a threat to the rest of the world. WMDs can be fired at British territory (Cyprus?) in 45 mins, were the news headlines back in ‘03.

So, they went in there knowing this to be untrue.

In my books that counts as a war crime, the moral equivalent of Hitler’s invasion of Poland, which took place after some German soldiers dressed as Poles fired on some German soldiers.

Saddam is captured, and, after a show-trial executed, as, wait for it, a war criminal.

Am I missing something?

I’m as mad as hell about all this.

I’ll give you my ha’penny worth about Ford and what the New Year has in store in a mo’.

BTW, GNMNUK, Bush doesn’t give a monkey’s about the rights of unborn babies, or for any one else for that matter.

It’s just about getting the votes of the idiot Christian right.

And I’m speaking as a Christian.

If Bush is a genuine Christian, then I’m Monica Lewinski.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’ve just read the news on the CBS website.

By all accounts he died bravely. A darn sight more bravely than those evil creeps Blair and Bush will die when, or if, justice ever catches up with them. They’ll die soiling themselves.

It completely escaped comment in my parents' household this morning, and my father's someone who follows the news on CEEFAX religiously.

I had to choke back a tear when I read it. Not because I liked Saddam. He was a nasty piece of work. But it’s so grotesquely unfair that he pays for his crimes and others can just rewrite history.

Bush's Great Leap Forward

Chris Floyd
Thursday, December 27, 2006

The outlines of Bush's "New Way Forward" or "Great Leap Forward" or "Long Walk Off a Short Pier" in Iraq is now fairly clear. It has three general thrusts: a large increase in troop numbers; a direct assault on the forces of Motqada al-Sadr; and, if possible, an expansion of the war beyond Iraq's borders through a military strike on Iran.

That article was based on reports from angry sailors based on the Eisenhower who had leaked word of their mission.

Anthony's Christmas Message

This year, as last year, we sang this carol at the carol service I attended in my church last Sunday.

And this year, the words, "The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight" hit me once again, between the eyes, just as they had done the last time I had sung it a year before.

"hopes and fears"!

What are my hopes and fears for the forthcoming year?

What are yours!

It's half past twelve here in the UK, I've prepared the carrots and sprouts, yet to wrap the prezzies, then I'll be ready to go!

A happy Christams everybody!

O Little Town of Bethlehem !

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And Peace to men on earth

How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may his His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him still,
The dear Christ enters in.

O holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born to us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel

Rector Phillips Brooks (1835-1903) of Philadelphia, wrote the words to the carol O Little Town of Bethlehem in 1868, following a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. He is said to have been inspired by the view of Bethlehem from the hills of Palestine especially at night time hence the lyrics of O Little Town of Bethlehem. His church organist Lewis Redner (1831-1908) wrote the melody to O Little Town of Bethlehem for their Sunday school children's choir.

Redner was Brooks’ organist at Holy Trinity Church in Boston, Massachusetts. The tune came to him on Christmas Eve, and was first sung the next day.

60 Minutes: CIA Official Reveals Bush, Cheney, Rice Were Personally Told Iraq Had No WMD in Fall 2002

Tonight on 60 Minutes, Tyler Drumheller, the former chief of the CIA’s Europe division, revealed that in the fall of 2002, President Bush, Vice President Cheney, then-National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and others were told by CIA Director George Tenet that Iraq’s foreign minister — who agreed to act as a spy for the United States — had reported that Iraq had no active weapons of mass destruction program.

Watch it:

BRADLEY: According to Drumheller, CIA Director George Tenet delivered the news about the Iraqi foreign minister at a high level meeting at the White House.

DRUMHELLER: The President, the Vice President, Dr. Rice…

BRADLEY: And at that meeting…?

DRUMHELLER: They were enthusiastic because they said they were excited that we had a high-level penetration of Iraqis.

BRADLEY: And what did this high level source tell you?

DRUMHELLER: He told us that they had no active weapons of mass destruction program.
BRADLEY: So, in the fall of 2002, before going to war, we had it on good authority from a source within Saddam’s inner circle that he didn’t have an active program for weapons of mass destruction?

DRUMHELLER: Yes.

BRADLEY: There’s no doubt in your mind about that?

DRUMHELLER: No doubt in my mind at all.

BRADLEY: It directly contradicts, though, what the President and his staff were telling us.

DRUMHELLER: The policy was set. The war in Iraq was coming, and they were looking for intelligence to fit into the policy, to justify the policy.

Only paranoia can justify the world's second biggest military budget

Britain's level of defence spending isn't related to real threats we face, but the needs of our military-industrial complex

George Monbiot
Tuesday November 28, 2006
The Guardian

No one noticed. Or if they did, no one complained. The government didn't even bother to issue a press release. Last week the Ministry of Defence quietly secured a £1.7bn increase in its budget. The spending for 2006-7 was allocated months ago, which means that another fund must have been raided to find the extra money. It's the equivalent of half the annual budget for the Department for International Development. But another billion or two doesn't make much difference when we are already sloshing out £32bn a year on a programme whose purpose is a mystery.

Routine and systematic torture is at the heart of America's war on terror

In the fight against cruelty, barbarism and extremism, America has embraced the very evils it claims to confront

George Monbiot
Tuesday December 12, 2006
The Guardian

After thousands of years of practice, you might have imagined that every possible means of inflicting pain had already been devised. But you should never underestimate the human capacity for invention. United States interrogators, we now discover, have found a new way of destroying a human being.

Last week, defence lawyers acting for José Padilla, a US citizen detained as an "enemy combatant", released a video showing a mission fraught with deadly risk - taking him to the prison dentist. A group of masked guards in riot gear shackled his legs and hands, blindfolded him with black-out goggles and shut off his hearing with headphones, then marched him down the prison corridor.

Is Padilla really that dangerous? Far from it: his warders describe him as so docile and inactive that he could be mistaken for "a piece of furniture". The purpose of these measures appeared to be to sustain the regime under which he had lived for more than three years: total sensory deprivation. He had been kept in a blacked-out cell, unable to see or hear anything beyond it. Most importantly, he had had no human contact, except for being bounced off the walls from time to time by his interrogators. As a result, he appears to have lost his mind. I don't mean this metaphorically. I mean that his mind is no longer there.

Diplomat's suppressed document lays bare the lies behind Iraq war


By Colin Brown and Andy McSmith
The Independent
Published: 15 December 2006

The Government's case for going to war in Iraq has been torn apart by the publication of previously suppressed evidence that Tony Blair lied over Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction.

A devastating attack on Mr Blair's justification for military action by Carne Ross, Britain's key negotiator at the UN, has been kept under wraps until now because he was threatened with being charged with breaching the Official Secrets Act.

In the testimony revealed today Mr Ross, 40, who helped negotiate several UN security resolutions on Iraq, makes it clear that Mr Blair must have known Saddam Hussein possessed no weapons of mass destruction. He said that during his posting to the UN, "at no time did HMG [Her Majesty's Government] assess that Iraq's WMD (or any other capability) posed a threat to the UK or its interests."

Mr Ross revealed it was a commonly held view among British officials dealing with Iraq that any threat by Saddam Hussein had been "effectively contained".

He also reveals that British officials warned US diplomats that bringing down the Iraqi dictator would lead to the chaos the world has since witnessed. "I remember on several occasions the UK team stating this view in terms during our discussions with the US (who agreed)," he said.

"At the same time, we would frequently argue when the US raised the subject, that 'regime change' was inadvisable, primarily on the grounds that Iraq would collapse into chaos."

What really happened in New Orleans

If you ask most people what caused the catastrophic flooding of New Orleans and vicinity, they'll tell you "Hurricane Katrina." Others who think they are better informed will say it was the post-storm surge that breeched the top of the levees.
Both these explanations for the disaster that killed thousands and made hundreds of thousands homeless are factually incorrect.
Hurricane Katrina did not damage New Orleans in any significant way. The storm surge did not come over the top of the levees. The levees - designed, built and maintained by the federal government - collapsed. The catastrophe in New Orleans was not a natural catastrophe. It was a government-made one.
A group of New Orleans firemen stationed in a hurricane-proof office building while the storm raged documented what happened as it happened and were then ordered not to make the video they shot available to the public or talk about what they saw.
Now, long after the fact, we're finally learning the truth.

My Observation of LAX Security Events on 9/11 By an Upper Management LAX Official

Source:

Exhibit “C”:“Memorandum:
Summary of Prima Facie Evidence of Treason,”
by Alfred L. Webre, J.D., M.Ed.

I was employed in upper management at LAX involved with security in the APO (Air Port Operations -- where the planes are, not the passengers). I will not otherwise identify myself in this statement, since I, for both personal and professional reasons, need to remain anonymous. But I will give as much detail as possible about security-related events in the APO that I overheard on September 11, 2001, and will also suggest ways in which my account could be corroborated.

“Security” in the APO involves the CHP, LAWA PD, LAPD, and the FBI, herein referred to as “Security” (but the CHP was not in proximity to me during the period my account covers).

My Account

As on other days, there was “chatter” on LAX Security walkie-talkies, so what Security was saying could easily be heard. On some of the walkie-talkies I could overhear both sides of the conversations, on others only one. I do not know who was at the other end of the walkie-talkies, but I can only assume that it was LAX dispatch or command.

While there, I observed and heard the following:

At first, LAX Security was very upset because at that time it seemed to Security that none of the Air Traffic Controllers (ATCs) tracking the hijacked airliners had notified NORAD as required. Security was well aware that LAX was a target and Emergency SOP were already in progress in that there was discussion of evacuating the airport.

More chatter revealed that the ATCs had notified NORAD, but that NORAD had not responded because it had been “ordered to stand down.” This report made Security even more upset, so they tried to find out who had issued that order. A short time later the word came down that the order had come “from the highest level of the White House.” This seemed inappropriate, so Security made attempts for more details and clarification, which was not resolved in my presence.

3 planes were grounded and swapped out in Atlanta, Georgia, simply because they did not pass the routine pre-flight inspection checklist. Those planes were found to be fully loaded with automatic weapons. LAX Security surmised that could only have been accomplished by Maintenance, the Caterers, but, in their view, most likely by “House Keeping.”

LAX Security believed that the terrorists did not board the planes through the passenger terminals, but rather by similar means, i.e. via House Keeping. Other airports were mentioned, but I was unable to get it all down. Therefore, I don’t have an accurate accounting for the status and location of the other planes.

Another piece of information that I overheard was that the Pentagon had been hit by a rocket.

There was also a radio station identifying itself as LAX Radio, from which the following was heard:

There were 11 planes and 11 targets. But at the time only 10 of the targets were mentioned: the WTC; the Pentagon; the White House; the Capitol; Camp David; the Sears Tower; the Space Needle; the Trans America Bldg.; LAX; and Air Force One--“if it could be found.”

Two fighter jets had been scrambled and had successfully shot down a hijacked airliner over Pennsylvania. The point of deployment of the fighter jets was also mentioned, but I can’t remember the name of the military base.

Points of origin mentioned included Newark, Atlanta, and other locations, but it was confusing to me in that I couldn’t determine if they were with respect to hijacked planes or fighter jets being scrambled. Unfortunately the names of these airports were not all familiar to me or it would have been easier for me to account for them.

As I was leaving there was an order to evacuate the airport.

In 2001 and 2002 I tried to notify the media of the events at LAX, but they made it clear they were not interested.

Possible Corroboration

I can think of four ways in which my account of what I heard could be corroborated:

1st LAWA PD, LAPD, and FBI records will reveal the names of the security officers on duty in the APO during the time of the attacks.

2nd I believe the head of LAX Security in the APO at that time was Captain Gray. He should be able to confirm the fact that my account reflects what happened that morning.

3rd The audio recordings of radio transmissions at LAX would reveal the comments of all the Security officers and LAX dispatch/command.

4th The audio recording of the LAX Radio broadcast would reveal what was broadcast on 911.
Note: Items 3 and 4 would reveal if I have inadvertently confused information attained from LAX Security with information received from LAX Radio. (For example, I believe I heard the comment about a rocket hitting the Pentagon during the walkie-talkie conversations, but it is possible that I heard it later on the radio."This is the story of 9-11 and cancer.”

WTC cancer cluster 'like Hiroshima'

Plaintiffs suing New York City for cancer spawned by destruction of the World Trade Center towers are subscribing to an "interacting toxins" theory of their illness. This is because NYC is liable for approving the building materials of the towers, but would not be liable if mercenary teams placed advanced micronukes in the towers.

Nevertheless, the report excerpted below does compare the cancer rate in post-9/11 Southern Manhattan to that of Hiroshima following the nuclear device detonated there.

More on Flight 93

Quite simple to pull off really, all they had to do was have explosives planted in the base of the towers, and on 9/11 they pretended like 4 planes were being hijacked when really they just rerouted them to Pennsylvania, then flew two military jets into the World Trade Center filled with more explosives and shot down all the witnesses on Flight 93 with an F-15 after blowing up the Pentagon with a cruise missile. It was only the world's most intricate and flawlessly executed plan ever, ever.
