BEHIND THE "WAR ON TERROR"
with Cynthia McKinney, Dr Nafeez Ahmed and Ian Henshall
Meeting organised by Reinvestigate 911
SOAS Vernon Square Campus (School of African & Oriental Studies, University of London) Vernon Square Campus, Lecture room V211
7.00 for 7.30 Monday March 8
Entrance free, donations welcome.
Directions: King's Cross Tube, East on Pentonville Road, right onto King's Cross Road Large old building, corner of King's Cross Road, Penton Rise and Vernon Rise. WC1X 9EW Cynthia McKinney
Member of the US House of Representatives for 12 years and now a global campaigner for many human rights causes, including Palestine. Cynthia was targeted for removal from the US Congress after asking what the White House knew about 9/11 and when they knew it. Last year she was snatched by Israel from a ship trying to lift the blockade of Gaza and held illegally for a week.
Good news for UK Human Rights, Peace Movement, Greens and 9/11 Activists. Cynthia McKinney, for many years a Congressional Representative from Atlanta Georgia, and most recently US Green Party candidate for President, will be addressing a Parliamentary meeting (TELL YOUR MP) and later a public meeting on March 8 (International women's day) in a Central London venue to be announced.
The meetings have been organised by Reinvestigate 911 but Cynthia will be heard by people active in many campaigns. For many years Cynthia used her seat in Congress to give a platform to many disadvantaged groups, but in the end the Washington oligarchy was able to remove her. A vicious media campaign, lack of support from the Democratic leadership, massive funding of her local opponents and a well organised Republican crossover vote saw her removed in a primary in her Georgia constituency.
As well as supporting the rights of women, native Americans and others at home, Cynthia is a supporter of the Palestinian cause and risked her life on a boat that tried to lift the blockade of Gaza last year. She was arrested and held incommunicado in Israel for nearly a week.
Like the US Green Party, the UK Green Party, Reinvestigate 911 and most sensible 9/11 sceptics, Cynthia does not claim to know exactly how the 9/11 attacks really happened or who was behind them - just that the event has gravely suspicious features, fitted in perfectly with the pre-existing neocon plans to seize Iraq, and a real investigation has never been mounted. Cynthia was the only Congress person to ask public questions about the Pentagon's "anti-hijack exercise" that was running at the time the 9/11 attacks took place.
Other speakers include Nafeez Ahmed a terrorism expert who has investigated the links between the CIA and "Al Qaeda". The eminent Italian journalist Giulietto Chiesa who with Diario Fo made the film Zero is also hoping to be present. Zero highlights the failure of US authorities to present the evidence needed to support the official 9/11 theory.
In addition organisers are planning to offer live music and there will be videos including leading French humorist Jean-Marie Bigard making fun of the official 9/11 story. There will also be a surprise speech by The Queen. (It's on a rather fuzzy video but it's authenticated by the CIA and their friends over at the BBC Conspiracy Files) .
For details of venue, line-up etc please check www.reinvestigate911.org.
These witnesses to the "Detroit aircraft terror attack" Christmas present from the false flag brigade told their fascinating stories to the press there immediately afterwards, yet it is all ignored and swept under the carpet. This is now being used as an excuse to remove further freedom and increase the glare of the spotlight of suspicion upon every one of us.

If you want to take part, if you feel like answering too, as the thoughts rise up in your mind so and you let them out. If you allow them to go for a spin in the wide blue yonder amongst all the people there, in guelphs and guises, glyphs and obtruse things, so very clever some of them, so clever you wonder how can they make such a mess of it, how can they be so blind?
I just listened to this interesting discussion between Richard Curtis, explaining the Strategy of Tension, and Kevin Barrett of Truth Jihad Radio on American Freedom Radio. Worth putting your feet up for and wandering around in the breaks. It's about an hour long I think. Very thought provoking.
This stuff about the corporate military-industrial nightmare is so horrifying that I would rather go out and meander, not post this and pass it on. But here it is, we really ought to face up to this kind of thing.
Blackwater Gate: Military Privatization Threatens Democracy By Mitch Cumstein, August 7, 2009.
It's not just about money though. Think about how powerful it would be to have a well-trained fighting force that can gather intelligence and perform combat missions around the globe. To get the US military to wage war requires too much diplomacy and too many members of Congress for Cheney, but a private company like Blackwater, that's almost too easy.
What's also cool about hiring mercenaries is that the law governing them is sketchy at best. In Iraq, according to Prince's motion to dismiss the case against him in the US District Court in Virginia, private contractors have "total immunity." So it looks like mercenaries don't have to worry about that annoying Uniform Code of Military Justice, the Geneva Convention or any of those stupid international laws prohibiting torture and violating human rights. Just outsource it.
Well that's Cheney's excuse - what's Obama's? Why does Obama continue to support the privatization of the military? Why does his administration continue to award Blackwater contracts in Iraq?
Maybe Obama agrees with Cheney, that it's better to have wars sponsored by corporations that profit from perpetual fighting. These corporations are not held accountable to the people, politicians or anyone. What they chose to do in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the globe is done in our name and at our expense. But to what end?
Several of the CNP's highest-ranking members also belong to the Masonic Knights of Malta and are associated with Fabian socialism and the eugenics movement. Oil baron and CNP member Nelson Bunker Hunt was a former member of the racist pro-eugenics group called the International Association for the Advancement of Ethology and Eugenics. The group was heavily involved in the promotion of eugenics and segregation.
I'm reading "Terror on the Tube" these last few weeks. Dipping in and coming up to the surface, gasping for air. It's a frightening book and I think every adult in the country should read it.
And here's The Ripple Effect for good measure, a film whose maker is currently awaiting extradition from Ireland to England, because he tried to do his duty and make the truth known, that our policies are being manipulated by deceit and treachery.
Oh dear, is criticising Israel to be made illegal? Will commentators and humanitarians find themselves criminalised? How terribly fascist. Not at all conducive to freedom of thought and freedom of expression. Oh dear. But this is Britain, and I've been British all my life, and I do not consent to the extinction of my freedom to blurt out the truth that begs to be blurted, whenever it does. As well as Irish blood I have some Yorkshire, like Richard III, who was innocent, framed by his assassins, and possibly the best king we barely had. Then there's Arthur of course, that Celt, that typically magical Celt. And there are people who insist that Celts are a myth.
The London based European Institute for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism:
wants the UK to adopt the EUMC (now the European Agency for Fundamental Rights, FRA) definition of "anti-Semitism" so as to outlaw the use of the word "Nazi" when referring to Israel, its government, and Zionists. But that is NOT all they are after, there are many more "demands" which are quite shocking indeed, such as any conspiracy theories about Israel and 9-11, Zionism, or the Israeli Lobby in American Politics control in Washington. Additionally they want your Children to be "re-educated" when they attend University (Sounds like Nazi's to me!) They are also calling for media controls as well. Almost all criticism of Israel AND/OR Zionism will be "branded" as Anti-Semitism and illegal, so keep reading. This definition will target all aspects of discussion on the Israel/Palestine conflict, including media, universities, demonstrations, freedom of speech and much more.

If we demonstrate or protest, we can be seized and relocated to another EU Region. The EU Arrest Warrant and the various legislation introduced across the EU since 9/11 will give the Authorities absolute power over us. The shootings of innocents `Philip Prout` and `Jean de Menezes` were entirely legal under EU Law. The intimidation and growing `Anti Muslim` vitriol across the EU is becoming reminiscent of the treatment of Jews in pre war Germany.

Empire of Illusion
The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle
Chris Hedges"A culture that cannot distinguish between reality and illusion dies. And we are dying now. We will either wake from our state of induced childishness, one where trivia and gossip pass for news and information, one where our goal is not justice but an elusive and unattainable happiness, to confront the stark limitations before us, or we will continue our headlong retreat into fantasy."
Heard about it on NPR.Thank you Waldo.

Who is doing your research about reality. If you aren't doing your own, and thoroughly, you are colluding with your deceivers, who are leading us by the nose to perdition. Alas. I do so wish people would wake up and take some responsibility for the part they are playing in the demise of the civilisation we inherited. Our sovereignty and freedom are being lifted out of our sleeping hands. How much kicking does it take to wake up this sleeping power of perfectly good and decent people just wanting to be left alone to get on with their lives, they've got enough to worry about for goodness sake while the land they lie upon is sold to another lord, and the feudal yoke settles more deeply upon our shoulders. It is nothing. The self deceit is pale and yet mellow out here amongst the daisies.
I have encountered some worrying moments while trying to inform my fellow coutrymen and women of the scale of the holocaust that is taking place now against the Moslem populations of areas along pipelines, oil fields and gas fields, including the Gaza offshore gas field. I believe that our government is deeply complicit in this, as are our allies.

"The Trap - What Happened to Our Dream of Freedom". the Alan Curtis films that show where we have gone wrong.
Professor Quigley, who was Bill Clinton's mentor at Georgetown University, claimed to be an insider and evidently knew his subject. He wrote in Tragedy and Hope (1966): "The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations."

Thought we might stop the slaughter being done on the back of this atrocity, but now the US President himself has told us that we are not to debate this matter any more. Oh dear. That really makes me feel uncomfortable, knowing the same man is asking us to join him in obliterating the indigenous health of the Hindu Kush, my dead brother's stamping ground (mountain goat).
At any rate, as you see, it is a murderous confusion of monumental proportions, guarded by deceit and bullying, and I for one still see the need for accurate maps and charts to help us to understand what the hell is going on here.
Apart, that is, from a generous distribution of depleted uranium in the ground of the mountains, and the air above them; in the lungs of the soldiers on all sides, and in their precious genes and the precious genes of their descendents that depleted uranium signature will glint its grimy glimmer for evermore, owning the tears of the parents, the tears of generations to come

The remains of the avenue in St Andrew's Churchyard. How it hurts to look at it, the place itself, that was dappled and soft to be in, a lovely place. Gone for a long while. I do hope the trees recover from this abuse, and that the perpetrator (the person responsible, churchman, bureaucrat, whoever) is sent to remedial school and educated in common sense and the common good, including extensive classes on beauty, truth and the full appreciation of being.
For the people of Farnham, another lovely place has become a source of pain. Though there are those who think it was done well. There are. And too bitter to vote, saying "What does it matter who governs us, it is all the same. They are so removed and rich they give not a damn for the people."
This is what the avenue was like last summer.

I am very proud of these people. I would not dare go to such a thing these days, being an abject coward. It shouldn't be that way. None of us should be afraid to demonstrate. The very thought of detention of our countrymen and women by our very own police force, just for going on a demonstration in these British Isles today is just not on. This is England for goodness sake. I grew up in the Royal Air Force, absorbed through my skin the certainty that to be British is to be free, and that free speech is a fundamental part of that freedom.

"If you are willing to play a part in reclaiming our national sovereignty then you will need to grasp the truth of the situation, which is that the three main political parties are controlled by a global elite - whose agenda will not be disrupted one iota by elections, no matter who wins. The Brown, Cameron, Clegg show is just that - a play in which the actors create an illusion that they are in charge, but in reality it is the directors behind the scenes, hidden from our view, who are firmly in control and who will not be revealed to us until the final curtain falls - by which time it will be too late."

From The Open Chemical Physics Journal today:
The paper ends with this sentence: "Based on these observations, we conclude that the red layer of the red/gray chips we have discovered in the WTC dust is active, unreacted thermitic material, incorporating nanotechnology, and is a highly energetic pyrotechnic or explosive material."
In short, the paper explodes the official story that "no evidence" exists for explosive/pyrotechnic materials in the WTC buildings.
What is high-tech explosive/pyrotechnic material in large quantities doing in the WTC dust? Who made tons of this stuff and why? Why have government investigators refused to look for explosive residues in the WTC aftermath?
These are central questions raised by this scientific study. The peer-review on this paper was gruelling, with pages of comments by referees. The tough questions the reviewers raised led to months of further experiments. These studies added much to the paper, including observation and photographs of iron-aluminum rich spheres produced as the material is ignited in a Differential Scanning Calorimeter (see Figures 20, 25 and 26).
The nine authors undertook an in-depth study of unusual red-gray chips found in the dust generated during the destruction of the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001. The article states: "The iron oxide and aluminum are intimately mixed in the red material. When ignited in a DSC device the chips exhibit large but narrow exotherms occurring at approximately 430 degrees C, far below the normal ignition temperature for conventional thermite. Numerous iron-rich spheres are clearly observed in the residue following the ignition of these peculiar red/gray chips. The red portion of these chips is found to be an unreacted thermitic material and highly energetic." The images and data plots deserve careful attention.

Directly related to the issue of curbing social unrest, cohesive system of detention camps is also envisaged, under the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon.
A bill entitled the National Emergency Centers Establishment Act (HR 645) was introduced in the US Congress in January. It calls for the establishment of six national emergency centers in major regions in the US to be located on existing military installations. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-645
The stated purpose of the "national emergency centers" is to provide "temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster." In actuality, what we are dealing with are FEMA internment camps. HR 645 states that the camps can be used to "meet other appropriate needs, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security."
There has been virtually no press coverage of HR 645.
These "civilian facilities" on US military bases are to be established in cooperation with the US Military. Modeled on Guantanamo, what we are dealing with is the militarization of FEMA internment facilities.
Once a person is arrested and interned in a FEMA camp located on a military base, that person would in all likelihood, under a national emergency, fall under the de facto jurisdiction of the Military: civilian justice and law enforcement including habeas corpus would no longer apply.
HR 645 bears a direct relationship to the economic crisis and the likelihood of mass protests across America. It constitutes a further move to militarize civilian law enforcement, repealing the Posse Comitatus Act.
In the words of Rep. Ron Paul:
"...the fusion centers, militarized police, surveillance cameras and a domestic military command is not enough... Even though we know that detention facilities are already in place, they now want to legalize the construction of FEMA camps on military installations using the ever popular excuse that the facilities are for the purposes of a national emergency. With the phony debt-based economy getting worse and worse by the day, the possibility of civil unrest is becoming a greater threat to the establishment. One need only look at Iceland, Greece and other nations for what might happen in the United States next." (Daily Paul, September 2008, emphasis added by Michael Chossudovsky) The proposed internment camps should be seen in relation to the broader process of militarization of civilian institutions. The construction of internment camps predates the introduction of HR 645 (Establishment of Emergency Centers) in January 2009. There are, according to various (unconfirmed) reports, some 800 FEMA prison camps in different regions of the U.S. Moreover, since the 1980s, the US military has developed "tactics, techniques and procedures" to suppress civilian dissent, to be used in the eventuality of mass protests (United States Army Field Manual 19-15 under Operation Garden Plot, entitled "Civil Disturbances" was issued in 1985).

Last Thursday, I went to the Richard Gage lecture at the Engineering Department of University College, London, a rare excursion. After I arrived by train I walked beside the river and crossed a bridge into the city, where I got lost for a while. It was the wrong bridge.
The images below are of forensic evidence of the role of thermite, the explosive, in the disintegration of the Twin Towers and Building Seven.
The dust contained molten iron microspheres, less than a hair's width in size, a byproduct of the explosive thermite. The thermite evidence was found by many United States agencies, including environmental companies and independent physicists. There are also many witnesses to explosions before the planes hit and as the buildings were falling.
Above part of the explanation of the impossibility of the top section of a high rise being able to collapse with free-fall acceleration through the path of greatest resistance, the steel and concrete building beneath it. The speed of the fall could only have happened if the supporting columns were removed ahead of the fall with explosives.
These pictures above relate to the graceful sinking to the ground of the 3rd high rise building that day, which was Building 7 of the World Trade Centre, housing the CIA, the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service and all the records of the investigations into massive Wall Street scandals including Enron and the Federal Reserve Bank's sale of the US gold reserves (fancy, Gordon Brown sold off the British gold reserves too, what a coincidence) This latter matter was not discussed at the lecture, it's just something that makes me think. I've heard that gold is difficult to buy now, although the price has fallen a little. People are asking where it's all gone, as though it might have been taken by dragons to hide in their hoards beneath the mountains.
But I have missed the point as I often do. Building 7 was twice reported to have fallen while it was still standing, and the fall accurately described in advance by CNN at 10.45 in the morning, and by the BBC about 20 minutes before it descended neatly into its own footprint around teatime.
I went to the William Cobbett Memorial Lecture at Farnham Castle and I'm writing something because of it now with black ink and mapping pen.
"...the J.P. Morgan [banking] interests.... and their subsidiary organizations got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press of the US.... They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers. ...an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information...."
Congressman Oscar Callaway
statement included in the Congressional Record (vol. 54, February 9, 1917, p. 2947)
Alexis de Tocqueville writing in 1835, thepeoplesvoice.org"Chains and executioners: such were the crude instruments on which tyranny once relied. But civilization has today brought improvement to everything, even to despotism, which seemed to have nothing left to learn."
"Princes made violence a physical thing, but today's democratic republics have made it as intellectual as the human will it seeks to coerce. Under the absolute government of one man, despotism tried to reach the soul by striking crudely at the body; and the soul, eluding such blows, rose gloriously above it. Tyranny in democratic republics does not proceed in the same way, however. It ignores the body and goes straight for the soul. The master no longer says: You will think as I do or die. He says: You are free not to think as I do. You may keep your life, your property, and everything else. But from this day forth you shall be as a stranger among us. You will retain your civic privileges, but they will be of no use to you... You will remain among men, but you will forfeit your rights to humanity. When you approach your fellow creatures, they will shun you as one who is impure. And even those who believe in your innocence will abandon you, lest they, too, be shunned in turn. Go in peace, I will not take your life, but the life I leave you with is worse than death."
18th August, 2008. Just wanted to mention that last Monday was one of those days that went screwy just before lunch, broke up into a thousand tiny pieces accelerating away from me in every direction like bright diamonds raining outwards. Leaving me in the dark. And I felt so alone that it seemed impossible to be doing what I was doing, it seemed impossible to ever speak, ever speak, ever say.. and the floor began to fall away.
I didn't want to be on the edge, hadn't expected or planned to be standing there, not this week, not this sunless summer. Don't remember. Do that again. Fight the fog of dissuasion, find spirit support, soul support.
Get Mika out from under Sibelius's 5th, Vaughan Williams's Sea Symphony, Yo-Yo Ma playing Ennio Morricone, Nina Simone playing You'll Never Walk Alone on the piano so forcefully. Drop Mika on the spindle, choose track 5 - Relax - and it gets me just below the rib cage, the wave; the spine instantly loosens rhythm from exactly where you're starting from, hurtling towards the edge, alone; except dear Mika has been there too, and evidently spent much time exploring the outer fringes of accepted things..
Discovering the nature of truth,
playing with fire indeed, real knowledge is often very frightening, relaxation so much helps the process of understanding which takes time, and Any Other World opens me up to another set of resolutions, almost unconscious, blest by a contrary nature I never could say goodbye to the world I love, and yes
in any other world
you could tell the difference.
