"So-Called Alternative Media Are a Bunch of Wannabe MSM Cowards

September 11th is indisputably the greatest crime in modern history. Everyone agrees that it has been the catalyst to excuse everything that has taken place in America since: wars, illegal surveillance, and torture, most notably.
It is the story of the century and it is still not to be questioned by the leading so-called alternative news websites that have reached mainstream levels of viewership. 9/11 is the stinky fart in the newsroom, where everyone with half-a-brain knows who cut the cheese, but because the boss is the culprit they’re afraid to be ridiculed or fired for speaking out. It’s authentic cowardice in the first degree.
A recent article on Disquiet Reservations called out specific “alternative” news sites for their cowardly unwillingness to mention 9/11 at all costs. The story they refused to cover happened last week in Australia, where the country’s top Union official, Kevin Bracken, caused international uproar when he was attacked for claiming on a national radio show that “the official story of 9/11 does not stand up to scientific scrutiny.” Of course, on the surface this doesn’t seem like a big story, but what is a huge story is that when the Herald Sun posted an online poll about it, an astounding majority (76.79%) agreed with Bracken, as reported by Excavator:
But this is bit of news not considered important if you’re an editor or journalist working for one of the many alternative media organizations that are listed above. Apparently, one of the biggest stories to emerge in the global anti-war movement does not deserve any attention from the progressive left, or anti-war sites. Are they afraid of the truth, or ashamed that they’ve censored it for this long?
These alternative media sites, by their silence, are still defending the obvious sham official story of 9/11. The good news is that their tacit denial is really starting to affect their credibility with a growing majority of the public. Time and time again online polls show a healthy majority of the public are now questioning the establishment version of events. It’s clear to all reasoned people that the official story simply “does not hold up to scientific scrutiny.” That much is becoming common sense to everyone but the willfully ignorant.
The mainstream media, who lost their credibility long ago, use a very deliberate playbook to challenge 9/11 questions. The Australian Broadcasting Channel radio interview with Bracken is a textbook display of the mainstream media’s methods. First, they attack the guest as making “nutter” conspiracy claims to immediately discredit them. Specifically, Bracken’s views were attacked as “ridiculous, extreme, and unacceptable” and he was told that they reflect poorly on his organization. Next, they try to cast the guest as “lunatic fringe,” seemingly as an attempt to prevent listeners from joining the growing ranks. Finally, they invoke the number of people killed that dreadful day as if to say, “How dare you disrespect the victims with your questions?”

A Perestroika For the AmeriKan People
"Amerikan Perestroika
by Peter Chamberlin
It would be nice if the world of man was a simple creation, where honest effort was its own reward. In such a world, mistakes would be understood as signals of corrections which needed to be made. It is not our good fortunes to live in such a world, at least not as far as all the governments of the world are concerned.
Human governments are in the business of capitalizing upon mistakes, especially turning the mistakes of the opposing party to political advantage. When the stumbling political party happens to be an adversarial government that is the process of self-destruction, then the political urge is to let them suffer. Such was the situation when the Soviet Union fell apart. But that was no excuse for this mistaken American policy or for the train of mistakes which was to follow.
Nothing demonstrates the complexity of the ultimate design which confronts us, or the character flaws of the designers, better than the current state of American/Russian relations. We were led to believe that we had witnessed the implosion of the Soviet state in 1991, but that earth-shaking event was not what it appeared on the surface to be. The event, which was supposed to have meant the end of the modern Russian empire, as well as the end of Soviet Communism, ended nothing, except for the entangling alliances which had been arranged by the demented mind of Josef Stalin.
What really transpired was the “restructuring” (perestroika) of the Russian government, the cutting of economic and social liabilities under the liberal leadership of Mikhail Gorbachev, to give the Kremlin leadership breathing space, in order survive the transition from a model communist system to capitalist model. The “capitalism” that Gorbachev had in mind was not the “democratic-capitalist” of the United States, but the Chinese model of state-dominated capitalism. Gorby had in mind the same Eastern version of “democracy,” as well. The fact that George Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton turned their backs on the people of Russia and the former satellite states and allowed Russian leader Putin time to reestablish a “moderate police state” in the former Soviet space, stands-out as one of the greatest mistakes that any American president has ever made. Had we followed a different path in 1991, one based on cooperation and human compassion, instead of abandoning the people of the former totalitarian Communist dictatorship to suffer the tragic consequences of the failed Soviet system, then there is no doubt in my mind that we would now be living in that new world order of total peace and not living in a bankrupt world preparing for perpetual war and the strong likelihood of total economic collapse. We should lay the blame for the failure of the world order at the feet of George H.W. Bush and William Jefferson Clinton, the “godfathers” of revolutionary interventionist democracy (Reagan is its father.).
Perestroika should be considered to be a “reconstruction” process, since it began with a process of demolition/deconstruction. “Soviet” space had to be cleared in order to raise the new Russian edifice. In reality, this meant the selling-off of large portions of the state industries to foreign investors, in order to acquire reliable capital. There was no shortage of potential buyers, but the Kremlin leadership intended that the end product would remain under their control. This was done by empowering the most successful black marketeers in the old Soviet system, by essentially buying them off. The majority of the “oligarchs” who ended-up owning much of the old Soviet industrial assets had risen to the top through dealings with the Russian mafia, most of whom are Russian Jews, with ties to Israel and international American-Jewish (Zionist) interests.
The opening of the Soviet empire (glasnost) enlivened the Soviet idea of “democracy” sufficiently to convince the world that Russia’s version of “sovereign democracy” was genuine. This made possible the shedding of excess political baggage, which included allowing many more émigrés to Israel. This apparent loosening of state repression brought about a readjustment of Western perceptions of the Kremlin, opening the doors for foreign investments in the decrepit Soviet infrastructure and for the harvesting of abundant post-Soviet natural resources. Many of the new Russian-Israelis organized partnerships with legitimate Western investors and Russian-mafia crime bosses. The end result was that Israeli interests obtained a working relationship with the Putin government, through the oligarchs.
The Russian oligarchs gobbled-up state assets in the former Soviet satellite states, gaining advantages over competitors from their inside connections to those governments and their access to powerful Jewish investors. The oligarchs give the Kremlin direct control over the mining and steel-producing industries in Ukraine, as well as the aluminum mining and smelting facilities in Tajikistan, allowing the Russian government to profit immensely from profits made from refitted modernized industries.
The insiders control over strategic European and Asian industries, coupled with Gazprom’s dominance over energy production in all of Eurasia, have been played by Vladimir Putin like a “royal straight flush” on the international geopolitical scene, allowing him to undercut American interests which had formerly been perceived as unfair to the Russian leadership. Putin’s apparent winning hand in the pipeline wars has given him an inflated sense of power, encouraging him to quietly accept minor irritants like small-scale militant attacks in the Caucasus backed by the CIA and Pentagon, without going to the source of the attacks and exposing the American “Islamists” for which the world now blames only Pakistan.
Although the separate states which had comprised the USSR were set free, enabling them to chart their own courses, links were maintained between governments of the former empire, most notably between militaries and state intelligence agencies. As the ultimate manifestation of the Soviet state and the Communist ideal, the KGB (now known as FSB) maintained dominance over the entire “restructuring” operation, as well as over the separate spy agencies. It is the KGB hand, in the shape of the former KGB General, Vladimir Putin, which has overseen the privatization of the empire and the empowering of the “oligarchs.”
On the other side of the equation and the other side of the Atlantic Ocean we see the record of the American privatization (deconstruction) process, also started by Ronald Reagan. As the economy grinds to a halt, it allows the elite American “oligarchs” to also gobble-up the social service sector of our government, as well as the assets and life savings of the majority of Americans.
The world operates on the power principle—that power must always prevail. This means that advantage over others must be maintained by keeping the other side at a disadvantage, “back on the other foot,” as some folks say. For the United States, in the political arena, this meant using every available means to keep our adversaries off balance, as well as our allies. Such a principle precludes the possibility of ever fully ending hostilities against any adversary, helping to explain the blindness of successive American administrations in their dealings with Russia and other opponents. The American/Russian relationship is a strange blend of success and failure. Each success was as much failure as it was victory, for both sides.
The American/Russian relationship is once again the key to unraveling the mysteries about our current fate, the shape of the future will be determined by the interactions of the leaders of these two great powers. The ongoing terror war is but a reflection of our past collisions, given new forms, using new actors to fight-out the same unanswered contradictions that have kept us at each others’ throats for decades. Which side will prevail, the side that offers the most secure-seeming scenario of a future of perpetual resource wars fought for unexpressed reasons, or will some kind of peaceful coexistence finally take root, offering new hope for the planet itself and for all of humankind?
Obama and Putin are equally determined national leaders, both pulling every available string to achieve the goals of their personal agendas. At times, their separate agendas clearly converge, other times their wheels seem to spin in opposite directions.
During those intervals when both Obama and Putin seem to be spinning their wheels in tandem towards a common goal, it seems that both leaders tend to answer to a third overriding agenda, an unknown source of authority. Some unseen, subversive force seems to always intervene on the world stage, to prevent any conflict from ending decisively (except perhaps for the Sri Lankan/Tamil conflict). Whether that unknown overriding authority is the work of the most powerful oligarchs themselves, or merely the result of forces at work which are beyond our current levels of understanding, will remain for future historians to decide. Historically, the United States and Russia have interfered in all great power struggles in order to preserve a “balance of forces,” but neither the US nor Russia can be blamed for actions taken against themselves, unless both countries are run by leaders who have been compromised by another power.
Then there is the fourth spinning wheel, the eternal power source of the forces of democracy. Among the spinning wheels which are competing for the world’s energy basket, the eternally spinning wheel of human motivation is the only wheel which really matters, for it is the only wheel which powers all the others.
The power of the “common will” is a force which every government must master. Before any leader can harness the common will he must first bend his own will in the people’s direction. He who seeks to override the common will first have to obtain the consent of the people, unless he possesses sufficient force to bend the people’s will to his own and is willing to accept the consequences if such an anti-democratic use of force. Neither Putin nor Obama (not even the unseen powers behind all other powers) has so far been willing to risk the fallout from the use of overtly violent police state policies to crush the democratic forces, but both leaders are willing to allow their underlings to violently redraw the lines of acceptable dissent. The process of narrowing the space of “acceptable” dissent has progressed further under Putin, than it has in the US.
Putin is trying to stabilize Russia and reclaim the best parts of the former Soviet Union, while working within the democratic model. His idea is to redesign the democratic model to make acceptable the tight control of basic First Amendment Rights, such as free speech and the right to assemble.
Vladimir Putin has called the collapse of the Soviet empire “the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century.” In many ways, he was right; since millions of people were suddenly cast adrift, without a working government, or apparently, a friend in the world. It was not only the Russian government and the fledgling governments of all Eastern Europe, as well as all of the “Stans,” who were cut adrift, because the American government itself, was also without direction or purpose with the sudden, unanticipated collapse of the Soviet system.
The tragedy of the sudden collapse of the slowly deteriorating Soviet government can best be described by comparing it to the situation in the post-war South, after our “last Civil War” (I fully expect a 2nd civil war, as part of the American collapse). The collapse of currency, local supply lines and the descent of “carpet-baggers” upon the hungry war-weary Southerners was much like today’s invasion of carpet-bagger corporations who gave the hungry masses false hope, as they plundered the unsuspecting populations who were recently freed from their own corrupt government. On the heels of the rapacious corporations came the proxy forces of the US government in the form of NGOs (non-governmental organizations). Along with the NGOs, come the third-party foreign proxies of the US Government (Saudis, Turks, Israelis, etc.).
The invasion of former Soviet space has, so far, proceeded unopposed by Moscow for the most part, but all of that began to change with the revival of the neo-Soviet enterprises, in particular, Gazprom, the state oil and gas giant. With the rise of Gazprom came the return of Russian political and economic leverage, especially over Europe. Putin’s power plays in Chechnya and Georgia were made politically acceptable after Gazprom’s victory over Ukrainian gas company Naftogaz gave Moscow full control of most of the gas going to northern Europe.
The certain defeat of the Nabucco pipeline has probably breathed new life into Russia’s South Stream, which will further entrench Moscow as mediator of many European issues that should not be considered a legitimate Russian concern. As insurance in case the reset goes bad, CIA-da is apparently revving-up operations with the Turkish “Deep State” and the PKK terrorist organization, as a presumed prelude to future attacks upon Russia’s South Stream pipeline as it traverses Turkey. Depending upon the outcome of the joint effort in the terror war and how well the United States weathers the total collapse of its economy, Russian leaders believe that they will come out on top, or at least in a position to profit greatly off any American successes.
The simultaneous rising of Dmitry Medvedev with Barack Obama, and their US/Russian “reset” in relations, which the two lawyers have together engineered, has made possible an American/Russian mission in Afghanistan, but it has not led to cooperation on energy production or delivery plans. Both sides are still married to their own profit potentials. This reset in relations has also made possible a new united front against Chinese expansionism and resource monopolization. Whether this anti-Chinese offensive is real or just more stage management is also a question that will have to be answered in the history books, because the future is not yet set (Where is Sarah Connor when you need her?).
This seems to be what the hidden overriding authority (the “third wheel”) wants from us. The ceaseless succession of potential catastrophes which confront us are meant to convince us that survival in this age demands that we allow the European alliance to do whatever the leaders plan for us, as the price for achieving total dominance over all of the world, in particular, the world’s “energy basket.” This is the given justification for the building confrontation with China and for perpetual war for as far as the eye can see. If “We the People” allow these plans to go forward on their current track, then we will witness a further “Sovietization” of our own democracy, as well, and we will have deserved it. It is time for that fourth wheel, the wheel of democratic action, to get spinning, before powers which are hostile to our best interests take the wheel of our power from us.

Fraud For the Ages
And Washington not only let it happen, they were in on it.
"This is the biggest scandal in human history. Indeed, all previous scandals from around the globe combined cannot even touch this one in terms of scale and scope and stench.
by L. Randall Wray, Benzinga
We have long known that lender fraud was rampant during the real estate boom. The FBI began warning of an “epidemic” of mortgage fraud as early as 2004. We know that mortgage originators invented “low doc” and “no doc” loans, encouraged borrowers to take out “liar loans”, and promoted “NINJA loans” (no income, no job, no assets, no problem!). All of these schemes were fraudulent from the get-go. Property appraisers were involved, paid to overvalue real estate. That is fraud. The securitizers packaged trash into bundles that ratings agencies blessed with the triple A seal of approval. By their own admission, raters worked with securitizers to provide the rating desired, never looking at the loan tapes to see what they were rating. Fraud. Venerable investment banks like Goldman Sachs packaged the trashiest securities into collateralized debt obligations at the behest of hedge fund managers–who were allowed to choose the most toxic of the toxic waste—then sold the CDOs on to their own customers and allowed the hedge funds to bet against them. More fraud.
Indeed, the largest financial institutions were run by their management as what my colleague Bill Black calls “control frauds”. That is, the banks used accounting fraud to manufacture fake profits so that they could pay huge bonuses to top management. The latest data out on Wall Street bonuses show that these institutions are still run as control frauds, with another record year of bonuses paid by cooking the books. The fraud continues unabated.
This is the biggest scandal in human history. Indeed, all previous scandals from around the globe combined cannot even touch this one in terms of scale and scope and stench. This is the mother of all frauds and it will be etched into the history books for all time....

A Very Special Birthday
I didn't see the war-promoting corporate media making a big issue of it:
"Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth. --source--"
How prophetic because it's so true 62 years after his death.
"Let the Jews who claim to be the chosen race prove their title by choosing the way of non-violence for vindicating their position on earth..... What is going on in Palestine today cannot be justified by any moral code of conduct. --source--"
A prophet in his own right.
More:
"On this second day of October, we honor the man with the plan as we celebrate his life and the lessons he shared with the world. In loving memory, here are a few of Gandhi’s most famous quotes:
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated”
“A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.”

America No Longer Exists
"It Is Official: The US Is A Police State
by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
Global Research, September 25, 2010
On September 24, Jason Ditz reported on Antiwar.com that “the FBI is confirming that this morning they began a number of raids against the homes of antiwar activists in Illinois, Minneapolis, Michigan, and North Carolina, claiming that they are ‘seeking evidence relating to activities concerning the material support of terrorism.’”
Now we know what Homeland Security (sic) secretary Janet Napolitano meant when she said on September 10: “The old view that ‘if we fight the terrorists abroad, we won’t have to fight them here’ is just that--the old view.” The new view, Napolitano said, is “to counter violent extremism right here at home.”
“Violent extremism” is one of those undefined police state terms that will mean whatever the government wants it to mean. In this morning’s FBI’s foray into the homes of American citizens of conscience, it means antiwar activists, whose activities are equated with “the material support of terrorism,” just as conservatives equated Vietnam era anti-war protesters with giving material support to communism.
Anti-war activist Mick Kelly whose home was raided, sees the FBI raids as harassment to intimidate those who organize war protests. I wonder if Kelly is under-estimating the threat. The FBI’s own words clearly indicate that the federal police agency and the judges who signed the warrants do not regard antiwar protesters as Americans exercising their Constitutional rights, but as unpatriotic elements offering material support to terrorism.
“Material support” is another of those undefined police state terms. In this context the term means that Americans who fail to believe their government’s lies and instead protest its policies, are supporting their government’s declared enemies and, thus, are not exercising their civil liberties but committing treason.
As this initial FBI foray is a softening up move to get the public accustomed to the idea that the real terrorists are their fellow citizens here at home, Kelly will get off this time. But next time the FBI will find emails on his computer from a “terrorist group” set up by the CIA that will incriminate him. Under the practices put in place by the Bush and Obama regimes, and approved by corrupt federal judges, protesters who have been compromised by fake terrorist groups can be declared “enemy combatants” and sent off to Egypt, Poland, or some other corrupt American puppet state--Canada perhaps--to be tortured until confession is forthcoming that antiwar protesters and, indeed, every critic of the US government, are on Osama bin Laden’s payroll.
Almost every Republican and conservative and, indeed, the majority of Americans will fall for this, only to find, later, that it is subversive to complain that their Social Security was cut in the interest of the war against Iran or some other demonized entity, or that they couldn’t have a Medicare operation because the wars in Central Asia and South America required the money.
Americans are the most gullible people who ever existed. They tend to support the government instead of the Constitution, and almost every Republican and conservative regards civil liberty as a coddling device that encourages criminals and terrorists.
The US media, highly concentrated in violation of the American principle of a diverse and independent media, will lend its support to the witch hunts that will close down all protests and independent thought in the US over the next few years. As the Nazi leader Joseph Goebbels said, “think of the press as a great keyboard on which the Government can play.”
An American Police State was inevitable once Americans let “their” government get away with 9/11. Americans are too gullible, too uneducated, and too jingoistic to remain a free people. As another Nazi leader Herman Goering said, “ The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. Tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peace-makers for lack of patriotism and for exposing the country to danger.”
This is precisely what the Bush and Obama regimes have done. America, as people of my generation knew it, no longer exists.

What Ahmadinejad Did Not Say
"WHAT AHMADINEJAD ISN’T TELLING US
September 24, 2010
by Gordon Duff
When President Ahmadinejad announced, before the United Nations that most people in the world believe that the U.S. government was involved in the planning and execution of the 9/11 attacks, he told the truth. In America, groups have been popping up for years, not “fringe” types, but military and professional organizations, architects, engineers, pilots, intelligence officers.
There is a vast underground that is never reported, never spoken of in the news and continually threatened. The FBI and Homeland Security have infiltrated these groups, illegal surveillance has been on a massive scale and, as the groups have grown and their reach has touched millions of Americans, the government, in the usual whispers, is talking about mass arrests, “unplugging” the internet, all those things the militia movements of the 90′s said would happen.
Outside the United States, not in the Middle East, but Canada, Europe, Latin America and the Far East, finding people who accept the Bush and Obama administration’s “party line” about “box cutters and hijackers” is difficult. No one wants to risk the public scorn of seeming like an imbecile.
However, back here in the “good ole’ USA,” even comedian Jon Stewart, normally an outspoken critic of government insanity, has agreed to lead a march on Washinton to quell “rumors” about 9/11, rumors of wrongdoing by people he despises.
What is the difference? Why do those outside the United States see things do differently? The answer is freedom of press, the first of the hasty additions to the constitution, a guarantee provided for in the 1st Amendment. There had been assaults on freedom of the press before, particularly during wartime but never anything on the scale seen after 9/11. Across the board, not just the news but even movies and television shows, fiction, censored, propaganda, peddling ignorance, fear and screaming “conspiracy theory” at anyone trying to get word out.
America is a dictatorship.
It isn’t just corporate lobbyists or two broken political parties. Elections are rigged, government agencies meant to provide for national security are now doing little but spying on Americans, our military is spread across the planet, tasked with everything but serving the United States. All the while, the “news” is everything but. Americans, to a one, know something is terribly wrong, totally out of control and, even their attempts to get at some semblance of truth are turned against them. The news is censored. With the country embroiled in two failed wars, obviously illegal, proof of war crimes piling up, financial collapse, citizen’s rights trampled on, nary a word is said about any of it.
“The president is a Muslim.” “Healthcare is socialism.” “The rich need their tax breaks, the same ones that pushed the country into 13.5 trillion in debt.”
The real message is always the same if you listen carefully, “be afraid, trust in government.” What are they really saying? “Greed is good.” How is that working out for you?
Ahmadinejad, as of the count yesterday, had 950 stories condemning his “outrageous” statements at the United Nations. Please note that a total of 27 nations walked out, not the people of those nations but representatives of the governments.
What we fail to note is that 163 nations stayed.
A few years ago, Ahmadinejad had a conference to discuss the holocaust. Scholars from around the world came, some openly hostile to Israel, some because they were scholars. It was called “outrageous” and Israel threatened to break up the meeting with a nuclear attack. What happened there, what were the findings? We will never know. Censorship in the American press, the same censorship that prevented evidence proving Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction from reaching the public, the same censorship that should have told Americans that Osama bin Laden had nothing to do with 9/11, was imposed.
The truth never benefits from censorship. Censorship is dictatorship. Dictatorship is when those in power no longer trust the people. A government that doesn’t trust its own people can’t serve its people, its people serve it. This is the America of today.
9 years of censorship now clouds 9/11.
When President Bush announced that he saw the first plane crash into the World Trade Center, live TV, it was shown once and hidden away. TV never showed that, not real TV, not the kind the public sees. Bush may have watched it, but if he is telling the truth, it means he knew in advance. Does this explain why he simply sat there? When Larry Silverstein said that he ordered one of the World Trade Center buildings, number 7, “pulled,” meaning “blown up” did it mean that explosives had been planted in all the buildings? It sure looked like it to me.
How about when Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense, said a missile hit the Pentagon? Oh, did he say that? Well, yes he did, live television, you can find the statement on video all over the internet, any normal person can.
The 9/11 Commission couldn’t, however.
Same with Rumsfeld telling us that Flight 93 was shot down. Did he say that? Yes he did, live TV, all over the internet. They couldn’t find that either.
Nobody told the 9/11 Commission anything about Building 7. It is as though it escaped into another dimension.
It isn’t just these statements or Vice President Cheney’s orders to allow the planes to go unhindered, testified to on the video above, that make Ahmadinejad much less than “outrageous.” It is the hard science, the witness testimony and years of intelligence reports that prove conclusively that “no Muslims were involved in the making of this picture.”
What have we proven “conclusively?” One thing for sure, one thing a vast majority of Americans will now consider, that America is a dictatorship.
What they don’t know is how it happened or who is running things. The propaganda machine has 200 million people chasing their own tails, blaming each other.
Maybe Muslims did it.

Alex Jones and Zionist Jews
"Jones - Israel-Bashers Are 'Scum'
Or worse: Is Alex Jones A Zionist Shill?
Is Alex Jones Linked To Zionist-Jew Bronfman?
- By Rev. Ted Pike
- 9-23-10
- In a recent Youtube clip, talk show host Alex Jones describes himself as the most influential leader of the Patriot/Tea Party revolt, next to Rep. Ron Paul. Many would disagree. Yet he inarguably has the power to influence and mislead many.
- A tactic of the intellectually dishonest is to mock or defame their opponent instead of responding to their facts. On Youtube, Jones can be heard repeatedly using this strategy to oppose critics of Israel. "What I want to say is thisI support Israel. It is their landit is the UN that has declared them terrorists. The UN supports groups that want to dissolve Israel" (Youtube: 'Alex Jones - "I Support Israel Its Their Land" Zionism') Jones ignores the 65 years of abuse of Palestinians and violations of international law that cause the UN to criticize Israel. He vilifies other critics of the Jewish state: "I watch these Nazi and anti-Israel groups. They're a bunch of scum."(Youtube: 'Alex Jones on Israel critics: "weak minded idiots"...')
- According to Jones, they are "weak-minded idiots" who find fault with Israel because in 1948 she violently drove 800,000 native Palestinians into concentration camps. They are "Israel-bashers" who refuse to accept Israel's long and growing record of human rights violations, including:
- continuing seizure of Arab lands, largely through illegal settlements;
- denial of basic freedom to Palestinians, particularly Gazans in recent years;
- incarceration of an annual average of 8,000-12,000 Palestinians, most without due process;
- torture of Arab prisoners, including women and children (See, Torture in Israeli Prisons);
- ban on free speech for Christians to witness in Israel under penalty of imprisonment, as well as government-permitted persecution of Messianic Christians by ultra-Orthodox Jews;
- proliferation of hundreds of nuclear bombs which threaten a Mideast Armageddon, while bullying Iran for allegedly planning to build even one such weapon;
- control of Congress and manipulation of the electoral process by pressure and money from the Jewish lobby;
- draining some $5 billion annually in foreign aid to a nation which makes enemies for America in the Mideast and has enticed us into Mideast wars for its own benefit.
- These are just starting concerns for "scummy" people like me and millions of others. Jones says he is "sick of peer pressure to attack Israel" and he wants nothing to do with us.
- And he has one high-sounding reason. Jones says too much truth about Israeli and Jewish misdeeds will "radicalize" the Tea Party movement and destroy its ability to win elections. Jones says he will limit his criticisms of Israel only to those opportunities where he can be "credible."
- After Israel brutally attacked the Gaza flotilla, Jones allowed an apologist for Israel to defend its actions. He did criticize Israel's raid (Youtube: 'Alex Breaks Down Gaza Aid Flotilla Ship Attack by Israel ...' 4 parts), yet he has not emphasized the dangerous agenda inspired by Judaism's sacred Talmud and Kabbalah, with their history of fomenting communism and world revolution.
- He has never exposed the well-documented Jewish dominance of big media-including Hollywood, the big three TV networks and the largest print media in America. (See, Jews Confirm Big Media is Jewish). Instead of speaking the truth, he says, "Hollywood is owned by the Arabs, and the Israelis for some reason. But the actual financing is mainly Saudi and Jordanian and the folks from Dubai and Qatar and a few other places and the British of course." (Youtube: 'Alex Jones Covers Up That Israel Owns Hollywood')
- Clearly, Jones is not about to antagonize the Jewish power structure. He specializes in diverting attention to the lesser conspiracies of Masonry, the Illuminati, Bilderbergers, CFR, Trilateral Commission, even the Bohemian Grove, etc. He says self-righteously that he will not "wear Nazi armbands" by criticizing Zionism or Judaism's racial/religious goals. He will not associate with the "mentally ill" who express such concern.
- Jewish/Zionist supremacism originated 2,000 years ago with the same Pharisees who crucified Christ. It is enshrined in Rabbinic Judaism's most sacred scriptures, the Talmud and Zohar (Kabbalah). This vast and hateful racist literature clearly states that Jews must someday control the world, after destroying the strong opposition that comes from Christian/capitalist civilization.
- But according to Jones, the masses should not know too much of this controversial truth. The Patriot Movement should relate to dumbed-down Americans, who are oblivious to the Zionist danger, by ignoring it themselves. Yet such ignorance will not lead to safety.
- Nor will the whole truth lead to fanaticism and violence. The truth about Jewish control in media, international finance and Congress will make many angry; that's called "righteous indignation." But it does not create violent, bigoted fanatics out of most people, whose moderation and perspective will encourage restraint. Instead, the whole truth will empower us to become discerning citizens who can defend American liberties, culture and foreign policy! Such enlightenment contributes to slowing unconditional support of Israeli injustices that inflame the Arab world; slowing the ability of the Anti-Defamation League to pass freedom-destroying legislation; slowing election and appointment of supremacist Jews to high office; slowing Jewish media's corruption of Christian culture and beliefs; slowing America's debt to Jewish international bankers through the Federal Reserve in short, slowing the advances of Jewish supremacism to destroy Christian civilization!
- Jones: Media Manipulator
- Jones' mentality is that of every dictator and censor, who says half-truths secure the threads of social fabric and the safety of governing elite. History reveals that ending such censorship leads to liberty. When the Bible finally became accessible during the Protestant Reformation, Rome's dominion was shattered. The profusion of Biblical truth resulted in independence of thought and action, vital to the founding of the greatest social experiment in history: the United States of America.
- If the whole truth poured out, the Zionist stranglehold on western nations would be demolished. We could see a new age of enlightenment and renewal. The whole truth does not radicalize society; it stabilizes it.
- Jones vilifies true patriots and attempts to scare us away from facing reality. He says that, when patriots criticize Jews and Israel, they are playing into the globalists' hands, who pit one group against anther, desiring to create world chaos. The truth is, the globalists are Jewish supremacists. Yet Israel, ADL, Rothschilds, Bronfmans, etc. above everything else, fear worldwide exposure and criticism. By cautioning patriots against criticizing (bashing) Jewish supremacists, it is actually Jones who sows mass confusion and inaction, becoming one of the NWO's best protectors. It is hard to defend Jones from the charge that he sows disinformation along with the truth.
- By urging the same ruinous appeasement of the Jewish supremacist agenda as have Christians and conservatives for the past century, Jones, despite his bluster, is an appeaser. His "moderation" on the Jewish issue is really a mask for his enormous fear of Jewish power.
- A year ago, a trusted friend of mine, then a Jones supporter, told me he called Jones' office and, surprisingly, Jones answered. During their conversation, Jones expressed anxiety about criticism of him for not addressing the Jewish issue. But he feared the Zionists more.
- "The Jews," Jones said, "own everything."
- Jones wants us to believe he isn't afraid and will not hesitate to tell the whole truth. Yet his conspicuous silence about the threat of Jewish supremacism speaks powerfully: Alex Jones lives in fear of the Jews.
Or worse: Is Alex Jones A Zionist Shill?
Is Alex Jones Linked To Zionist-Jew Bronfman?

"“By Way of Deception, We Shall do War”
by Deanna Spingola
September 16, 2010
Lenin (Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov) said, “The establishment of a central bank is 90% of communizing a nation.” [1] Worldwide control obviously requires extraordinary organization, superior weaponry and high technology (like HAARP), political power and monopoly control of all the resources. On February 17, 1950, James P. Warburg declared to the U.S. Senate, “We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent.” [2] In Russia and China and other countries, the elite used thugs for their violent conquest of existing leaders.

Lenin (Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov) said, “The establishment of a central bank is 90% of communizing a nation.” [1] Worldwide control obviously requires extraordinary organization, superior weaponry and high technology (like HAARP), political power and monopoly control of all the resources. On February 17, 1950, James P. Warburg declared to the U.S. Senate, “We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent.” [2] In Russia and China and other countries, the elite used thugs for their violent conquest of existing leaders.
Populations wouldn’t knowingly consent to their own demise. But distracted, naïve, ignorant citizens, by their consent, relinquish their liberties by placing their trust in others, (1) two-faced lying politicians who have abandoned the constitution and sold their souls and, (2) the persuasive profit-driven elite media. Smiling talking heads and brilliant, fast-talking female lawyers in low-cut garments legitimize immodesty while peddling infotainment disguised as news. They equivocate among themselves over the Neocon’s next war target which they claim is necessary to keep America safe. While selling their illusions and building our perceptions, what to wear, eat, drink, think and who to fear, they conceal, suppress or gloss over stories that are actually pertinent to our lives.
Jacob H. Schiff, Paul Warburg and other bankers influenced Congress to pass the Federal Reserve Act (December 23, 1913). The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) was created in October 1913 to minimize predictable criticism. The bankers have manufactured panics, withdrawn credit and in the process have confiscated the citizen’s resources and personal property through phony bailouts, sanctioned by compromised politicians. These actions are calculated and designed to ultimately decimate the economy. The same bankers who promoted the Federal Reserve funded Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Zinoviev, Kamenev, Molotov and Kirov (assumed names) in their godless, violent take-over of Russia. The bankers began making major profits when Bernard Baruch, Louis Brandeis and others manipulated their puppet Woodrow Wilson into entering World War I on borrowed money after the provoked attack on the Lusitania.
Winston Churchill, a Rothschild minion, referred to the Americans traveling on the ill-fated Lusitania as “live bait,” a tactic for involving the U.S. in World War I, which started the flow of money from the pockets of U.S. citizens into the vaults of Rothschild and his fellow bankers. The “live bait” tactic had been successfully used with the deaths of American sailors aboard the USS Maine. Banker-backed corporate moguls exploited the situation. Their political puppets then ordered the military to invade the resource-rich Philippines. Meanwhile, the media vilified and dehumanized the innocent Filipinos so that the invaders could rationalize killing them. Mogul minions followed up by gathering cheap labor to extract resources and the government seized land to build military bases to manage the population and protect the resources.
To legitimize propaganda for World War I, Walter Lippmann persuaded President Wilson to create the official Committee on Public Information (CPI) on April 13, 1917. Wilson appointed newspaper publisher, George Creel, as chairman. Creel commissioned the nation’s artists to produce paintings, posters and cartoons to promote the war. With the expert help of Edward Bernays, “the father of public relations” and a nephew of Sigmund Freud, the CPI manufactured the most atrocious hate propaganda against the Germans. Bernays manipulated public opinion through crowd psychology, his uncle Sigmund’s specialty. Creel had a staff of persuasive wordsmiths – journalists, writers, intellectuals and many advertisers – who later admitted they were willing to lie, use emotional appeal and enemy demonization to generate hate and fear to elicit support for the war. [3]
In anticipation of entering another war, on July 11, 1941, President Roosevelt created the Office of Coordinator of Information (COI), and appointed William J. Donovan, a millionaire Wall Street lawyer, as its head. [4] Communist apologist Eleanor Roosevelt, Wendell Willkie, George Field, Dorothy Thompson, Herbert Bayard Swope, and prominent journalists, academics, trade unionists, theologians, and public officials founded Freedom House, a CFR front, in October 1941. FDR encouraged the group’s covert propaganda activities as he hoped it would persuade U.S. citizens to accept entry into World War II. Freedom House was also instrumental in facilitating and supporting post-war policies like the Marshall Plan, NATO, and the UN. [5] The Marshall Plan transferred U.S. tax dollars into the hands of the elite, camouflaged as a humanitarian effort. U.S. taxpayers rebuilt bombed-out foreign countries with the stipulation that the money be spent with banker-backed U.S. companies who raised their prices for those foreign customers.
The U.S. embargoed Japan, which depended on imports, to provoke a military response. Churchill and Roosevelt, whose governments had broken the Japanese communication codes, then monitored the progress of Japan’s military expedition to Pearl Harbor where unwary military personnel, “live bait,” 2,402 people were killed on December 7, 1941. After Japan’s retaliatory attack, the media vilified and dehumanized them. The U.S. government, urged by California farmers, also forcibly relocated and interned 110,000 Japanese Americans, mostly west coast farmers who typically sold their produce more competitively than the Caucasians. The government put the Japanese in detention camps and froze all of their assets. At least 80,000 of those individuals had been born in America.
On June 13, 1942, after the U.S. entered the war, the COI’s propaganda department joined the new Office of War Information (OWI) and was renamed the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) still under Donovan’s direction. [6] The OSS developed worldwide clandestine capability and employed almost 13,000 men and women. [7] It conducted psychological warfare, often used by governments to marshal the troops for warfare. This included constant repetition of fabricated atrocity stories to prove that the enemy was evil and had to be eliminated. [8]
In 1942, the State Department and CFR members collaborated to set up a new “supranational organization” to replace the League of Nations, based on Wilson’s internationalist ideas. [9] Secretary of State Cordell Hull (CFR) asked Communist Alger Hiss to assemble a group of fourteen other CFR members to draft the United Nations Charter (UN). [10] The UN Charter displaced the U.S. Constitution with little response from the voters who were traumatized by Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. U.S. Senators accepted the charter without even viewing a copy. They were not authorized to bind U.S. citizens, without their consent, to the conditions of the U.N. charter. [11] Stalin would join the allies only if the U.S. would accept the UN. On April 12, 1952, Secretary Dulles would claim, “Treaty law can override the Constitution. Treaties can take powers away from Congress and give them to the President.” [12]
Truman suspended OSS operations on October 1, 1945. Its leaders, trained personnel and assets were ultimately transferred into the newly created Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) via the National Security Act, July 26, 1947. Among the transferees to the CIA were four future CIA Directors, Allen Dulles, Richard Helms, William Colby, and William Casey. The CIA, created and staffed by the elite, is a worldwide organization to perpetrate covert terrorist activities. It has links to Britain’s MI6 and to the Israeli Mossad. Truman struggled to regularize the CIA’s psychological warfare, one of the agency’s greatest propaganda triumphs. [13]
The CIA’s activities, per the official government directive, included the following, propaganda; economic warfare; preventive direct action, including industrial sabotage, demolition and evacuation measures; subversion against hostile states, including assistance to underground resistance movements, guerrilla and refugee liberation groups, and support of indigenous anti-Communist or now anti-nationalist elements in countries around the world. Such operations should not include armed conflict by recognized military forces, espionage, counter-espionage, and cover and deception for military operations.” [14]
Presidents Truman and Eisenhower introduced and mobilized propaganda as an official peacetime practice. Gun-toting dictators make demands but democracies use propaganda to persuade citizens to accept ideas, points of view, or policy positions as if the communication were immediately or ultimately their own. [15] Truman established the Psychological Strategy Board, as part of the CIA, on April 4, 1951 with Gordon Gray (CFR) as the first Director. Henry Kissinger, a Harvard professor, was Gray’s consultant. [16] The CIA published and disseminated hundreds of books promoting the official Cold War party line. A CIA-backed, worldwide media network provided cover for their agents and allowed the distribution of misinformation that predictably spread to the U.S. via the wire services, which also employed CIA agents who prevented problematic facts from gaining public exposure. [17]
Frank Wisner, along with Allen Dulles, Richard Helms and Phillip Graham (publisher of The Washington Post and husband of CFR/Trilateralist Katharine Graham) established Operation Mockingbird, the CIA program designed to control the U.S. media. [18] For decades U.S. “news” has been fabricated. In 1981, CIA Director William Casey said, “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.”
In 1948, according to John F. Kennedy, many of Truman’s supporters abandoned him because he supported the Morgenthau Plan and other questionable issues. On his whistle-stop campaign train during the presidential race, an avid U.S. Zionist delivered a suitcase containing $2 million in cash which gave him the financial boost he needed to win in what was considered the greatest election upset in U.S. history. [19] Truman believed, as a result of the Holocaust, that Jews were oppressed and deserved a homeland. The British relinquished the problem of a shared Arab-Jewish state to the UN on April 2, 1947 because of Jewish terrorism in Palestine. President Truman instructed a reluctant State Department to endorse the UN’s partition plan of November 29, 1947. At midnight on May 14, 1948, Israel’s Provisional Government announced the new State of Israel. On that same day, like Roosevelt’s recognition of the Soviet government, Truman officially recognized the Zionist government in Palestine against the advice of many people. Truman didn’t bother to tell leading State Department officials who became angry when they heard about it. On May 15, 1948, the Arab states responded by invading Israel which began the first Arab-Israeli war. [20] Zionists held only 7% of the land when they proclaimed their state. After Truman’s recognition, public relations experts started promoting the phrase “Judeo-Christian” to help establish America’s “special relationship” with Israel.
Dwight D. Eisenhower was president of Columbia University (1948–1953) just before he was installed as U.S. president. Bernard Baruch first met the like-minded Eisenhower in 1928. Rockefeller and Morgan agents and numerous CFR members backed Eisenhower, a womanizing scoundrel, in the presidential election in 1952. After his nomination he told the President of the United Synagogue of America, “The Jewish people could not have a better friend than me …I grew up believing that Jews was the chosen people and that they gave us the high ethical and moral principles of our civilization.” [21] He accommodated the OSS in their covert assassination of General George S. Patton [22] who opposed the Morgenthau Plan and Eisenhower’s death camps and was going to reveal Eisenhower’s close collaboration with the Soviets. Eisenhower halted the U.S. troops in order to allow the Soviets to “liberate” Berlin. Ilya Ehrenburg, the head of Soviet propaganda directed the Soviet troops to ravage and rape the German women. At least 50,000 and perhaps as many as 100,000 females of every age were savagely raped; many of them were tortured and killed. [23]
By 1953, the CIA had 7,200 people working on covert actions, activities that took 74% of the CIA’s yearly budget. [24] The CIA always recruited their leaders from the elite class – businessmen, credible journalists, Ivy League scholars and Wall Street lawyers and bankers. Irving Kristol, Paul Weyrich, William Simon, Richard Mellon Scaife, Frank Shakespeare, and William F. Buckley, Jr. were connected to the CIA.
George Washington, in his farewell address, advised Americans to avoid an “unnatural connection with any foreign power” and “to have with them as little political connection as possible.” [25] Apparently, future leaders ignored that advice. By June 1953, the U.S. government had given Israel $293,000,000 with an additional of $200,000,000 as Export-Import bank loans. The New York Herald-Tribune of March 12, 1953 reported that, in the first five years of Israel’s existence, including gifts, the total amounted to $1,000,000,000. This was in addition to the money they extracted from Germany. [26]
Beginning in 1953, Irving Kristol (CFR), “the godfather of neo-Conservatism,” and a former Trotskyite (opposed Stalin’s focus on Russia in preference of a worldwide system), co-edited the magazine Encounter, published in London and financed by the CIA. It was the voice of the CIA-funded Congress for Cultural Freedom and regularly promoted Fabian Socialism and the Labour Party. Kristol was also the editor of Commentary (1947-1952) and the editor of The Reporter (1959-1960). Kristol moved his family back to the U.S. by 1960. Daniel Bell (CFR) and Kristol founded The Public Interest (1965-2002), a publication of Freedom House, under the direction of George Field, its executive director. Field was also chairman of the RAND School for Social Science which was owned by the American Socialist Society and financed by the Garland Fund. Both Bell and Kristol were subsidized by the CIA, through the Congress for Cultural Freedom, the same organization that funded some of Gloria Steinem’s social engineering activities. Bell worked for Henry Luce (S&B, CFR) and advocated the dissolution of all borders and local governments.
Irving Kristol founded and published The National Interest (1985-2002). He was a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a member of the American Enterprise Institute and a John M. Olin Distinguished Fellow (1988-1999). He contributed a monthly column to the Wall Street Journal (1972-1997). He served on the Council of the National Endowment for the Humanities (1972- 1977). From the 1950s forward, chaos, in various strategic places, has reigned, perpetrated primarily by the CIA in conjunction with foreign intelligence agencies.
In 1954, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles ordered the CIA’s Saigon Military Mission (SMM) to engage in guerrilla warfare operations in Vietnam. Dulles told these “agent provocateurs” to “raise hell.” [27] The turmoil was then blamed on the local citizens, who were now referred to as the insurgency. CIA Director Allen Dulles assigned Edward Lansdale and his CIA cohort Lucien Conein, to engage in unconventional warfare in Vietnam where they created the Vietnam Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG). [28] In June 1954, the SMM established a campaign of undercover military and psychological warfare. They had unlimited U.S. taxpayer dollars and engaged in political, psychological and terrorist activities against the native population in the northern regions, especially in Hanoi and in the surrounding Tonkin area. They polluted petroleum supplies, sabotaged the railroad, tried to destroy the largest printing business in the North, bombed the post offices, and distributed millions of propaganda leaflets to incite fear and vast amounts of counterfeit money which created calculated inflation. [29]
When the Tonkinese villagers, mostly Catholic, were sufficiently frightened and intimidated, the CIA offered to transport them from the north to the south. The CIA manipulated the Catholic hierarchy who then urged thousands of Catholics to evacuate. [30] Those resistant to relocation were told that the U.S. was going to use the atomic bomb on them if a civil war erupted between the north and the south. [31] Weapons and agents were left in the north with an abundance of CIA-supplied counterfeit currency to continue the economic destabilization. [32]
Tens of thousands of the terrorized citizens fled on foot. The CIA transported the remainder via their Civil Air Transport Airlines (CAT) and U.S. Navy ships at a cost of about $100 million. The Catholics were moved into a predominately Buddhist population which intentionally created religious, civil, and economic strife. [33] The CIA and the Mossad are expert in population relocation in order to provoke civil and religious strife. The deliberate decimation of Mexico’s peso in the mid 1990s (and Bush’s de facto North American Union) created an influx of desperate Mexicans into the U.S, in conjunction with the drug cartel’s operations. Zionists expelled 750,000 Palestinians from their homeland in 1948; forced another 350,000 to flee Gaza in 1967 and forced another 147,000 Syrians from the Golan Heights in order to repopulate the areas, without compensation. Of course, the media suppresses these terrorist activities. Also, U.S. warfare in the Middle East caused thousands of dispossessed Muslims to flee elsewhere. This ongoing clash of cultures, the foreign incursion into America’s diminishing economy and deindustrialization (by corporate outsourcing for cheaper labor) creates tension. The media incites religious and economic outrage while concealing the cause and effect activities of the real culprits who prey on all of us.
In 1954, Israeli agents working under cover planted bombs in several Egyptian buildings, including a U.S. facility. The Israelis were trying to flip U.S. support of Egypt to Israel. So they planted evidence implicating the Arabs. However, one of the bombs detonated prematurely. The Egyptians captured one of the culprits who revealed the identities of the other members of the Israeli espionage group, some of whom were from Israel and others were local Jews. Often Israelis move to other countries, hold dual citizenship, and engage in dubious activities while working in government positions and other influential positions, in opposition to the best interests of the host country. The Israeli media immediately denied all culpability and claimed that it was a scam perpetrated by “anti-Semites,” a convenient oft-used ruse to silence justifiable criticism. However, in a subsequent trial, individuals produced clear-cut evidence that proved Israeli involvement in the bombing. Top Israelis blamed Israel’s Defense Minister Pinhas Lavon; he resigned. The operation is known as the Lavon Affair or Operation Susannah. Regarding anti-semitism, Norman G. Finkelstein wrote, “The new anti-Semitism actually incorporates three main components: (1) exaggeration and fabrication, (2) mislabeling legitimate criticism of Israeli policy, and (3) the unjustified yet predictable spillover from criticism of Israel to Jews generally.” [34]
On December 11, 1955, the Syrians captured five Israeli soldiers who were in the process of installing a wiretapping apparatus on the Syrian telephone network. The Israeli’s version of the event was that the five men had been abducted in Israel and taken to Syria and tortured. Public opinion was skewed in Israel and in the West in favor of Israel. By then, Israel had diverted the flow of the Jordan River at the expense of the area’s other inhabitants. On October 1, 1955, the U.S. government, through the CIA, gave Israel the “green light” to attack Egypt. [35]
I was in Israel in 1999 when our group received special permission to visit a specific site on the Jordan River which was little more than a tiny stream of putrid water. It was, at that time, guarded by several gun-totting Israeli soldiers. Our tour group was repeatedly warned not to discuss Christianity with any Israeli citizen as they have disdain for Christians. According to the Talmud (Traditions of the Elders), Jesus led Israel astray; his mother Mary was an adulterer and a whore and Jesus is in hell, in boiling excrement. The Talmud states that Christians will also be in hell for eternity in “boiling excrement” if they oppose “Judaism.” Jewish sages encourage their followers to daily recite the following “Blessed be thou who hast not made me a goy.” [36] Goy is a negative term for gentile; some say it means cattle.
In October 1960, just prior to the presidential election, John F. Kennedy visited with his good friend, Charles Bartlett, a journalist. The previous evening, Kennedy had been the dinner guest of an elite group of wealthy, influential Jews at the New York home of Abraham Feinberg, chairman of the American Bank and Trust Company. Their spokesman told Kennedy that they recognized that his campaign was in financial difficulty. The group then offered significant financial help if Kennedy as president “would allow them to set the course of Middle East policy over the next four years.” [37]
Bartlett recalled, “He said if he ever did get to be president, he would push for a law that would subsidize presidential campaigns out of the U.S. Treasury. He added that whatever the cost of this subsidy, it would insulate future presidential candidates from this kind of pressure and save the country a lot of grief in the long run.” Congressman Paul Findley (1961-1982) inquired further and discovered that Adlai E. Stevenson had a similar experience in 1956. [38]
Findley wrote, “Ethnic group pressure is an ever-present part of U.S. partisan politics, and because the president of the United States is the executor of all foreign policy, and the formulator of most of it, pressures naturally center on the people who hold or seek the presidency. When the pressure is from friends of Israel, presidents—and presidential candidates—often yield.” [39] This has been the case since Truman’s presidency (1945–1953). Condoleezza Rice once said, “We have an Israel-centric foreign policy.” Regarding Iraq, Findley said, “Our forces invaded because Israel wanted us to topple Saddam. Two religious communities – one consisting of a combination of secular and ultra-Orthodox Jews and the other of misguided Christian fundamentalists – control U.S. Middle East policies.” [40]
By 1977, Washington Post journalist Carl Bernstein said that over 400 journalists, distinguished reporters and foreign correspondents were CIA employees. A high-level source told Bernstein, “One journalist is worth twenty agents.” Pulitzer Prize winner Arthur Schlesinger, a former OSS agent transferred to the CIA. [41] The CIA, before 1990, paid college professors to write at least 1,200 propagandistic, anti-Communist books about places like the Soviet Union, Vietnam, China, Cuba and the Congo. [42] Columbia University, along with other schools, is a CIA recruiting ground. The Communists recruited Whittaker Chambers when he was there.
Prior to 1967, Islamic fundamentalism was a relatively small movement. Osama bin Laden, supported by the CIA, headed the al Qaeda network. Al Qaeda, referred to as the database, was part of a CIA operation after the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan on December 24, 1979, part of Columbia professor Zbigniew Brzezinski’s plan to destabilize the Soviet Union. Brzezinski (CFR), the founding Director of the Trilateral Commission and a Rockefeller minion with CIA ties as early as 1959, was President Carter’s National Security Advisor (1977-1981). By 1984, the CIA supplied textbooks for Afghan students through USAID, a CIA front group. The textbooks were written under the direction of Dr. Thomas Gouttierre, head of Afghanistan Studies at the University of Nebraska where the books were published. Dr. Gouttierre is friends with Zalmay Khalilzad (CFR), U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan and Iraq (2003). Khalilzad, an Afghan-born Muslim was a former adviser to Unocal and was an Assistant Political Science Professor at Columbia University (1979-1986) where he worked closely with Brzezinski.
The textbooks were designed to create a militaristic populace in order to provoke resistance to the Soviets and future enemies. The book’s illustrations included tanks, land mines and missiles and promoted hatred. [43] The U.S. supplied these incendiary textbooks (1984-1994) under Presidents Reagan and George H. W. Bush (S&B). Bush was Vice President under Reagan (1981-1989). All CIA records regarding Bush and his company, Zapata covering 1960 to 1966 were destroyed when he became vice president in 1981. Bush was CIA director (1976-1977).
In 1982, President Reagan created the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) in order to acceptably manage CIA activities. Freedom House, the group created in 1941, became a part of this network. NED helped to finance Freedom House. Paul Wolfowitz, in the early 1980s, along with his neoconservative allies, collaborated with numerous Trotskyites. With the hidden funding and under the cover of conservative think tanks, the U.S. government can influence the public and conceal its interventions in foreign politics.
At least six million people had perished by 1987 as a result of the CIA’s covert operations. Not only is the CIA not an intelligence agency, it distorts information and perpetuates misinformation and disinformation to justify its own goals. This wide-range deception has resulted in organized terrorism throughout the world. Using the CIA, our government routinely dismisses or ignores national and international laws under the guise of “national security.” [44]
Interestingly, alarm over Islamic fundamentalism actually occurred at about the same time that Reagan called for the dismantlement of the Berlin Wall, formally concluded on October 3, 1990, followed by the official collapse of the Soviet Union on December 25, 1991. With Soviet Communism gone and the Berlin Wall dismantled, the State Department would either be forced to create another enemy or decrease their defense budget to about half of what it had been which would really cut into the elite’s profits. Shortly thereafter, the first Gulf War was devised to purportedly protect the oil resources of the Middle East against so-called “rogue states and nuclear outlaws.” [45] Islamic fundamentalism, our latest enemy, replaced Communism.
Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf (CFR), the man behind the proposed Muslim community center two blocks from ground zero, came to the U.S. with his family in 1965. In 1997 he founded the American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMS), a tax-exempt foundation. Its mission statement states, “We collaborate with other faith-based organizations to build relationships of trust through dialogue and education, honoring the diversity of faiths, sharing commonalities, and celebrating differences.” [46] Interestingly, ASMS is funded by the Rockefeller Brothers; the Carnegie Corporation of New York; Rockefeller Philanthropy; Rockefeller Brothers Fund; Global Fund for Women; The Russell Family Foundation; Danny Kaye & Sylvia Fine Foundation; Graham Charitable Foundation; Henry Luce Foundation; Hunt Alternatives; The Ms. Foundation and other elite tax-exempt foundations. [47] The people who sign the check determine the policy. Are all of these people on the same team, playing the public and causing controlled conflict?
In 1972, Gloria Steinem (CIA agent extraordinaire), Patricia Carbine, Letty Cottin Pogrebin and Marlo Thomas founded The Ms. Foundation. [48] Steinem’s social engineering activities led to Roe v. Wade. Pogrebin authored In Defense of the Law of Return for The Nation on December 22, 2003, a law passed in Israel on July 5, 1950 which grants any Jew automatic citizenship. [49] Pogrebin, a financial contributor to Obama since 2004, [50] is a member of Americans for Peace Now (APN) the most prominent American Jewish Zionist organization working to achieve a comprehensive political settlement to the Arab-Israeli conflict. [51]
Former Harvard professor, William “Bill” Kristol, the son of Irving Kristol, was Chief of Staff to Vice President Dan Quayle, under the first Bush regime. Bill Kristol founded the Project for a New American Century (PNAC), a tax-exempt foundation, in the spring of 1997, the same year that Rauf founded the ASMS. PNAC, with close ties to the American Enterprise Institute, was funded by the Sarah Scaife Foundation, the John M. Olin Foundation and the Bradley Foundation. Its objectives are U.S. Global supremacy and a “Greater Israel.” Twenty-five people signed their mission statement, seventeen of whom belong to the CFR, whose objective is a one-world government. Founding members include Elliott Abrams (CFR), Gary Bauer, William J. Bennett (Irving Kristol’s protégé), Jeb Bush, Richard B. Cheney (CFR), Eliot A. Cohen (CFR), Midge Decter (CFR), Paula Dobriansky (CFR), Steve Forbes, Aaron Friedberg (CFR), Francis Fukuyama (CFR), Frank Gaffney, Fred C. Ikle (CFR), Donald Kagan (CFR), Zalmay Khalilzad (CFR), I. Lewis Libby (CFR), Norman B. Podhoretz (CFR), Dan Quayle, Peter W. Rodman (CFR), Stephen P. Rosen (CFR), Henry S. Rowen (CFR), Donald Rumsfeld, Vin Weber (CFR), George Weigel (CFR), and Paul Wolfowitz (CFR). In 1992 Libby and Wolfowitz wrote Defense Planning Guidance for Defense Secretary Dick Cheney.
Bill Kristol, advocates neoconservatism, the American version of Trotsky’s Bolshevism. Kristol, a Bilderberger, a Manhattan Institute trustee, is also the editor and co-founder, along with John Podhoretz, of the Weekly Standard Magazine, established September 17, 1995 and funded, at a loss, by Rupert Murdoch (CFR), a Zionist. This so-called conservative magazine, co-edited by Fred Barnes, promotes the warhawk mentality, the same message heard on numerous “conservative” talk shows and on Murdoch’s Fox Network. Weekly Standard contributors include Joseph Epstein, Charles Krauthammer (CFR), Brit Hume, a Fulbright scholar, [52] Tucker Carlson, Robert W. Kagan (CFR) foreign policy analyst and son of Donald Kagan (CFR), Yale Professor John Podhoretz (son of Norman Podhoretz) and others. In 1995 Kristol confessed to the New Yorker: “The liberal media were never that powerful, and the whole thing was often used as an excuse by conservatives for conservative failures.” [53] See a video on PNAC here (warning: language).
Norman B. Podhoretz (CFR), a Trotskyite, in his books has admitted that the reason for the Cold War was to weaponize Israel to fight the Arab nations. He belongs to the influential New York chapter of the American Jewish Committee, one of the leading Zionist organizations operating within the U.S. It publishes the “liberal-turned-conservative” Commentary magazine. [54] Kagan is a columnist for the Washington Post which was associated with the CIA’s Operation Mockingbird. He is a senior associate of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and wrote Of Paradise and Power: America and Europe in the New World Order.
Now, remembering that the CIA probably controls much of what we hear from the elite-owned media, according to Pew, 30% of all Americans obtain their news from talk radio and cable television – many never read a book. A large percentage get their “news” from the Fox Network whose employees receive the morning memo, a directive on how to spin the “news” of the day. Roger Ailes, former Republican campaign wizard, is president of Fox News Channel and chairman of the Fox Television Stations Group which has a throng of “journalists” and guests who push right-wing propaganda disguised as news. [55] According to a decision by the Florida Appeals Court on February 14, 2003 in the Jane Akre whistleblower lawsuit, the court agreed with Fox News that it is not against the law to distort or falsify the news in the U.S. [56]
In 1997, Israël Shahak wrote, “Since the spring of 1992, public opinion in Israel is being prepared for the prospect of a war with Iran, to be fought to bring about Iran’s total military and political defeat. In one version, Israel would attack Iran alone; in another it would ‘persuade’ the West to do the job.” [57] On January 26, 1998, the PNAC warhawks, in a letter to President Clinton, urged him to invade Iraq to depose Saddam Hussein.
In October 1998, the Catastrophic Terrorism Study Group completed a nine-month long study of the “technologies and defenses” against terrorists. The study group was a collaboration of the faculty of Harvard, MIT, Stanford and the University of Virginia. It was funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, and the Herbert S. Winokur Public Policy Fund at Harvard University. The group produced a report entitled: Catastrophic Terrorism: Elements of a National Policy. [58] An article based on the academic Study Group report appeared in the CFR journal Foreign Affairs in the November-December 1998 issue, the same year that PNAC wrote to President Clinton suggesting the removal of Hussein.
The project director was Philip D. Zelikow, later the gatekeeper executive director of the 9/11 Commission. He earlier co-authored a book with Condoleezza Rice (both members of Bush 41’s National Security Council) entitled Germany Unified and Europe Transformed: A Study in Statecraft. Zelikow also authored The National Security Strategy of the United States which became the new preemptive war doctrine of the Bush administration written for then National Security Council Director, Condoleezza Rice who had worked on the Bush transition team. He had a hidden agenda – connect al Qaeda and Iraq. [59]
PNAC’s policy statements were compiled in Rebuilding America’s Defenses, Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century, published in September 2000.
We read, “Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor.” [60] It appears that 9/11 was that new Pearl Harbor. As Shahak indicated, Israel was going to persuade the West to wage war. Just how would Israeli political leaders “persuade” the U.S. to invade their enemy, a country that has not militarily assaulted the U.S.? The elite, for over 100 years, has used false flag assaults and very pervasive media propaganda to win public support for their warfare. The CIA and their foreign intelligence counterpart, the Mossad, have lengthy experience in false flag tactics, the actual reason for their existence. At least two previous incidents, probably more, involved Israel.
On June 8, 1967, there was a failed attempt to use the “live bait” device, with government foreknowledge, with the USS Liberty. The Zionist owned U.S. media kept quiet about the Israeli attack on the ship. Then on October 12, 2000, the “live bait” tactic was used in the USS Cole where seventeen U.S. sailors were killed, and thirty-nine were injured. A small boat moved to the port side of the destroyer when all the sailors were gathering in the galley for lunch. An explosion occurred which created a 40-by-40-foot hole in the ship. Al Qaeda, led by Osama bin Laden, a CIA asset, took credit for the attack. Yet, samples of the explosives retrieved from the ship’s hull showed that materials used were only available in the U.S. and Israel. Then the “live bait” tactic was used on 9/11 to get the U.S. to remove Hussein and bomb Iraq back to the Stone Age.
Within twenty-four hours of 9/11 the media miraculously, as if all the information were prepared beforehand, revealed histories, photos, and details about the Muslim terrorists who allegedly perpetrated the attack. Bin Laden, who died in December 2001, even came back from the dead to claim responsibility. [61] Fox News announced his death on December 26, 2001. [62] Despite the terrorist’s amazing ability to subvert the military response apparatus of the world’s most powerful nation, they failed to cover their trail and left a substantial amount of easy-to-find fireproof evidence. Their unhindered assault on a specific section of the Defense Department halted an audit that would have exposed billions of dollars of stolen money that had been funneled to special friends. The Port Authority, after it lost a 10-year asbestos lawsuit on May 1, 2001, were stuck with a money-losing albatross that they couldn’t get a license to demolish. On July 24, 2001 Eisenberg of the Port Authority leased the towers to his friend Larry Silverstein. Almost prophetically, Silverstein quickly insured the towers against a terrorist attack. [63]
On September 20, 2001, PNAC members sent a letter to President Bush in which they urged him to wage the nation’s “first war of the 21st century” including the capture or killing of Osama bin Laden, and the capture and prosecution of any and all perpetrators of 9/11. They encouraged Bush to go after any other group that means us harm. They advocated the end of Hussein’s government and the financial and military support of any Iraqi opposition. They also encouraged him to go after Hezbollah and the countries that support them, Iran and Syria. If Iran and Syria fail to comply and cooperate then the U.S. should take action against those countries. They further recommended that the U.S. withhold support from the Palestinians in favor of support to Israel. [64]
The letter said, “…But even if evidence does not link Iraq directly to the attack, any strategy aiming at the eradication of terrorism and its sponsors must include a determined effort to remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq.” [65] Richard Perle said, “This is total war. We are fighting a variety of enemies. There are lots of them out there. All this talk about first we are going to do Afghanistan, then we will do Iraq, then we take a look around and see how things stand. This is entirely the wrong way to go about it... If we just let our vision of the world go forth, and we embrace it entirely, and we don’t try to piece together clever diplomacy, but just wage a total war ... our children will sing great songs about us years from now.” [66] Paul Wolfowitz said the anti-terrorism campaign has to be broad and sustained. “It's not going to stop if a few criminals are taken care of.” [67] Iran, another industrial competitor, is the next war target which brings us back to the subject of Feisal Abdul Rauf, the individual behind the Manhattan mosque project.
Rauf is a member of the World Economic Forum’s Council of 100, an organization composed of business, political, religious, media and opinion leaders that advocates openness and understanding between the West and Muslim world. [68] Rauf is also a member of the CFR’s Religious Advisory Committee, along with Jim Wallis, publisher of Sojourners. He has been an imam in New York City for twenty-seven years. The building project, the Cordoba House, a 13-story, $100 million project, is planned as a community center complete with a swimming pool, culinary school, art studios and other features. It is to be built on properly zoned, private property two blocks from ground zero. The city Landmarks Preservation Commission approved of the construction. However, the American Center for Law and Justice, founded by Reverend Pat Robertson, filed a lawsuit in a state court to dispute the commission’s decision. They could have built the facility, like any other private group, on private property, without public scrutiny. The media has driven this issue and incited anger.
Recall that Freedom House was organized in 1941 to promote World War II. They are still propagandizing. William Howard Taft IV (S&B, PNAC[69]) is its current chairman. It is an international non-governmental organization that endorses a one-world government and opposes all nationalist governments. It has offices in offices in Algeria, Hungary, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico, Uzbekistan, Poland, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine. Taft supports the Law of the Sea which places all of the oceans under the jurisdiction of the UN. Since 1941, the group has developed ties to the CIA, the Brookings Institution, the U.S. Institute of Peace and other institutions and government agencies. Freedom House, a propaganda vehicle, is also a front group for the CFR, the British counterpart of the Royal Institute of International Affairs. In 2005 Freedom House was receiving U.S. government funds “for clandestine activities inside Iran.”
The organization receives about 66% of its budget from the U.S. government. [70] See the list of their board members here. Other financing comes from the Scaife Family Foundation which finances many groups and individuals, especially those associated with the CFR, including, Newt Gingrich’s (CFR) GOPAC, the Federalist Society, the Media Research Center and Joseph Farah’s World Net Daily – all of which selectively dispense “conservative views.” The National Endowment for Democracy, a proponent for one world governance also finances Freedom House. [71]
R. James Woolsey (CFR, PNAC) former CIA Director (1993-1995) was a signatory on the 1998 letter to President Clinton calling for Hussein’s removal. On September 11, 2001, Woolsey claimed that Iraq was involved in the attack. A year later, he claimed that Iraq was also involved in the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center and the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. Woolsey, a former Chairman of Freedom House board (2003- 2005) was a Rhodes Scholar and a Booz Allen Vice President (2002-2008). [72] He was part of the secretive North American Forum held in Canada, September 12-14, 2006. [73] In July 2006, Woolsey suggested that the U.S. bomb Syria. His wife, Suzanne H. Woolsey (CFR), has been a Director of the Fluor Corp., an engineering and contracting firm since February 3, 2004. By August 2004, Fluor had a $1.6 billion Iraqi reconstruction contract. Fluor made about $1.3 billion for reconstruction after Hurricane Katrina (August 23-29, 2005), [74] a storm (HAARP?) that displaced 1.5 million people and caused about $81.2 billion in damage. On September 26, 2005, Senator Mel Martinez hosted the Halliburton-sponsored “Katrina Reconstruction Summit” for no-Katrina-victims-need-apply contractors. [75]
Freedom House’s Center for Religious Freedom is now listed on the Hudson Institute web site. On November 15, 2005, Nina Shea (CFR), the Director of the Center for Religious Freedom at Freedom House presented a 19-page report to the Committee on International Relations of the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Africa, Global Human Rights and International Operations. This report describes the followers of Saudi Arabia’s Wahhabi ideology and elaborates on the millions of Muslims who have relocated to the United States. Shea said, “Earlier this year, Freedom House’s Center for Religious Freedom released a report based on a year-long study of the radically intolerant Wahhabi ideology contained in documents spread, published, or otherwise generated by the government of Saudi Arabia and found in the United States. Extremist Wahhabism is Saudi Arabia’s state religion; it is also the Saudi government’s aim to propagate it and have it replace traditional and moderate interpretations of Islam worldwide, including within the United States.” [76]
Another report, Saudi Arabia’s Curriculum of Intolerance, issued on May 23, 2006, by Freedom House’s Center for Religious Freedom analyzed the textbooks used by the Saudi Ministry of Education by their elementary and secondary students. These textbooks, according to Freedom House, advocate hatred of anyone, including Muslims, who reject the Wahhabi dogma. The 2006 report was created by Freedom House’s Center for Religious Freedom which collaborated with the Washington-based Institute for Gulf Affairs. Their study covered the textbooks used in Saudi Arabia and Saudi schools outside that country. The Institute for Gulf Affairs collected the books to be used in the study from families, teachers, and administrators associated with Saudi schools. Freedom House then had them translated. [77] Did USAID have anything to do with these textbooks?
Nina Shea said, “What is being taught today in Saudi public school textbooks about how Muslims should relate to other religious communities will poison the minds of a new generation of Saudis. Whatever changes have been made in the Saudi educational system, clearly more needs to be done.” The Saudi government had revised all of their educational materials to eliminate all intolerant materials. But, according to the Freedom House report, the textbooks “condemn and denigrate the majority of Sunni Muslims” who reject the Wahhabi brand of Islam. The report also claims that the textbooks encourage Muslims to “hate” Christians, Jews and other “unbelievers.” The Saudi public school system has 25,000 schools, with about five million students. They also have academies in nineteen world capitals. One of these is located just outside of Washington in Alexandria, Virginia. They all use the same religious textbooks. Saudi Arabia also distributes its textbooks around the world to many Islamic schools. [78]
Barack Obama, as I have previously written, was a CIA asset and attended Columbia University where Marxist apologist, Zbigniew Brzezinski, taught. Obama was born (1961), named, mentored, media puffed and financed into the White House by Soros, Rockefeller and other bankers. According to Wayne Madsen, Obama’s mother, grandparents and other associates were also CIA.
Former community organizer, Barack Hussein Obama, be he Muslim, Christian or a minion for Israel, is furthering the destruction of the U.S. economy per his agreement with the bankers when they financed his presidency. Citizens will blame the Muslim in the White House and take vengeance on U.S. Muslims as the destabilization continues. Obama, in 2008, committed his efforts to serving AIPAC’s agenda. He has links to Wright’s Christian (liberation theology) church in Chicago and has publicly implied that he is Muslim. Is he just a CIA chameleon who alters his rhetoric for his current audience? Or is this a distracting Psy Ops designed to distract and divide U.S. citizens while the elite privately snicker. He is still a community organizer but on a much larger scale.
Part of the operation has Republican Orly Taitz (b. 1960), the Jewish lawyer, dentist, and perhaps Mossad, along with Philip J. Berg, a Jewish Democrat are publicizing Obama’s Kenyan birth, a detail that was openly announced in 2004 when he was running for an Illinois senate seat. [79] Taitz emigrated from the Soviet Union to Israel in 1981 where she attended Hebrew University. In 1987 she met and quickly married a software engineer visiting from California named Yosef Taitz and soon she was in the U.S. She believes that Israel should “exterminate” the Arabs. She is associated with AIPAC and believes that Obama’s policies are “a clear and present danger to Israel.” [80] Ironically, in regard to the birth issue, Taitz said, “When you allow somebody with allegiance to other nations to become president, that’s extremely dangerous.” [81] Good Heavens, save us from the arrogant, blatant elites and their useful idiots.
That’s true for any political office. Three hundred members (69%) of the House of Representatives signed a letter addressed to Secretary of State Clinton affirming “the unbreakable bond” that exists between the U.S. and the State of Israel. Given that fact, I hardly think that the imposition of Sharia law is a viable threat. [82] As long as the “National Menorah” is prominently displayed at the White House[83] during the holidays instead of a Christian scene, I think U.S. citizens can be assured that Sharia law is not a threat.
Scientists understand that monotonous patterns produce a stupor that renders people vulnerable to hypnosis. Certain low-level frequencies or unperceived waves exist in radio and television, the normal vehicle for mass hypnosis. It is the prime method of controlling huge populations. [84] On 9/11, everything shut down, except our television sets; we were extra attentive and traumatized, the most effective of any indoctrination process. Many still believe that Muslims perpetrated 9/11.
Politicians, journalists, and media personalities are repeatedly expressing outrage over the possible construction of the Muslim community center two blocks from ground zero. This attention serves to ignite the emotions that we all felt that day, conveniently near the anniversary. It serves to re-establish the connection between 9/11 and the Muslims. It is a psychological operation of the most organized kind. The government has had almost a decade to reiterate their deceptive version of the event. Many naïve people, not wanting to complicate their lives with the horrible reality, believe the government/media’s first reports – it is easier than acknowledging that they’ve been so easily deceived.
Former Speaker of the House, internationalist Newt Gingrich (CFR, NAFTA proponent), a recipient of millions from Sheldon Adelson, argues, “One of our biggest mistakes in the aftermath of 9/11 was naming our response to the attacks ‘the war on terror’ instead of accurately identifying radical Islamists (and the underlying ideology of radical Islamism) as the target of our campaign… Radical Islamism is more than simply a religious belief. It is a comprehensive political, economic, and religious movement that seeks to impose Sharia—Islamic law—upon all aspects of global society.” [85]
Madeleine Albright (CFR), while Secretary of State, said, “If we have to use force, it is because we are America. We are the indispensable nation.” [86] Over 170 million people were slaughtered by governments during the 20th century. Ten million died in World War I and fifty million died in World War II. Of those who were killed during World War II, almost 70% were civilians. This so-called collateral damage was a consequence of indiscriminant bombing by Britain and America. [87] Then there was Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, a potential war in Iran and the unpublicized CIA wars. Yet, many citizens, rather than focusing on America’s brutality, claim that Islam is violent.
The Muslims are not the enemy. They don’t extort usury through the Federal Reserve; they aren’t manufacturing population-reducing vaccines and GMO seeds; they didn’t devise our abortion laws (about fifty million dead); they didn’t bail out the banks; they didn’t create the Department of Homeland Security and impose the PATRIOT Act; they aren’t wiretapping our private conversations or scanning us at the airport; they didn’t impose godless Communism on several countries and cause the death of millions of innocent people; they haven’t instituted the draconian healthcare laws; they have not orchestrated the nation’s economic crashes; they have not deindustrialized the nation and outsourced so many jobs; they haven’t wiped out the middle class by passing trade laws like NAFTA; [88] and they haven’t foreclosed on thousands of homes; they are not the reason thousands of people live in tent cities; they haven’t developed depleted uranium weapons. Instead of worrying about a mosque, consider what’s going on behind the closed doors at the Federal Reserve, the Pentagon, the Senate and House chambers, the CFR, the State Department, the UN or dozens of other places. The Muslims didn’t instigate the attacks on the USS Liberty or the USS Cole and they didn’t orchestrate the highly organized attack in Manhattan on 9/11.
People should be burning the 9/11 Commission Report or if they insist on burning a religious book, burn the Bible or the Talmud instead of the Quran. Most of the people who insist that the Quran is full of hate have never even seen the book.
