Day After Corporal Wave said "Educate yourself," Ret. Lieut. Col. Ralph Peters claims “Conspiracy theories are for Arabs"- Pt.

Stealing this from 911B. If conspiracy theories are for Arabs, could it be that it's because Zionists are such avid conspirators? Note also I didn't say "Jews are avid conspirators" because that would be as racist as saying that Arabs "screw things up" or are "prone to terrorism" or irrational jew-hatred...

"Whatever AIPAC Wants, AIPAC Gets"

I wonder if the author's JFK book goes "there"! Somehow I doubt it, but the AIPAC info here is interesting (see, it was on counterpunch--blech!)

"Whatever AIPAC Wants, AIPAC Gets"
Democratic Defectors and the Israel Lobby

By JERRY KROTH

In November, the American electorate repudiated Bush's Iraq debacle and established Democratic majorities in both the House and Senate promising to bring this "flawed policy wrapped in illusion" to a decisive end. Bush vetoed their withdrawal timetable, but voters urged their leaders to hold the line and not be bullied. In the end, though, 37 Democratic senators capitulated and gratuitously gave the President his $100 billion no-strings- attached blank check . . . enough money to pay tuition and fees for 1.3 million college students for four solid years!

Experimenting with rating for blog posts

Trying out this new system... 3 stars now instead of 10 or 5... Generally speaking--

3 stars= positive impression
2 stars= ambivalent
1 star= negative impression

The more people vote the better, and this simple rating system might make it easier to decide what vote to give...

Floor is open for critiques...

Cui Bono Revisited

Gosh, does Alex Jones REALLY think Israel was not behind the 9/11 attacks? Does he not see the parallels between the subject of his fearmongering and what Israel has been doing for years against the Palestinians and on OUR dime?

Israel is reaping economic as well as political rewards from its lock-down apartheid state. In the "gated community" market it has begun to sell systems and techniques that allow the nation to cope with terrorism. Israel, in 2006, exported $3.4 billion in defense products-well over a billion dollars more than it received in American military aid. Israel has grown into the fourth largest arms dealer in the world. Most of this growth has come in the so-called homeland security sector.

Alvin Hellerstein - Zionist Judge Assigned All 9/11 Victims' Court Cases Says: "We have to get past 9/11. Let it go."

Choosing 9/11 victim lawsuits for trial?
By Jerry Mazza
Online Journal Associate Editor

Jun 29, 2007, 01:05

That headline, that question is why we’re here in Judge Hellerstein’s courtroom, this time 14D, half the size of the room for last week’s hearing. Of course, the usual suspects have been rounded up, lawyers for the airlines, the plaintiffs, a US attorney, fewer citizen onlookers, including myself, notebook open. Yet what I will hear will leave me as chagrined as June 14’s double-sized gathering reported in The 9/11 Victim’s Compensation Fund: cui bono?

Adnan Khashoggi, GCN, the Protocols, Alex Jones, and the 9/11 Truth Movement

From "Information Overload" on word press... Read through to the end!

Sunday, July 8th, 2007...11:18 pm

Adnan Khashoggi is the individual who owns Genesis Communications Network, famous for hosting such heavyweight radio personalities as Alex Jones, self proclaimed “Grandfather of the 9/11 Truth Movement,” and Jeff Rense.

According to a 2004 article by Daniel Hopsicker from MadCow Morning News:

“Info on Khashoggi runs the gamut from the ridiculous to the sinister. To get the serious stuff out of the way first:

Khashoggi was among a number of prominent Arab businessmen, like Khalid Mahfouz, who agreed to continue what have been described by US intelligence officials as “protection payments” to bin Laden at a meeting in Paris in 1998, said London’s Sunday Business Post October 7, 2001.

Happy Independence Declaration Day Everyone!

So yeah, shock and awe. OK. Uhhh, yep. Shocked. Awed. Moving on.

No offense to anyone here, but I feel like I've suddenly been put in charge of a refugee camp what with the civil war over at 911B over censorship turning hot all of a sudden.

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger right? There's a touch of grey in every silver lining, and you have to break some eggs to make an omlette. Does anyone else have any banal platitudes to help fortify our spirits at this juncture, or should we just all take advantage of the numerous drunken BBQs taking place across our great troubled nation today, get hammered and come back with a fresh set of beer goggles?

Seriosuly though, let's try to keep things in perspective. For many of us 911bloger was a haven of sanity in a mad world and now change is threatening to undermine our confidence in ourselves and our collective movement. But what have we really lost?

Invitation - Nay, Exhortation to Post Content

Just want to encourage everyone to post away, and also to comment on and suggest changes to this site's format, features, etc. If the interface lets you do it, you should feel free. A new poll, anyone? Go for it!

The beauty of this Drupal platform is that there are a million things you can tinker with--see for example the list of Drupal modules on Drupal's website and if you see something you think might make this site better just say so. Do people want to be able to rate comments like we did on blogger? I haven't found the exact module yet but I'll keep looking...

Gay Bombs

A few days ago, an Orthodox Jewish suicide bomber was apprehended by Israeli officials before he had a chance to set off his bomb at the Jerusalem Gay Pride Parade (Orthodox Jews have a problem with gays). We didn’t hear a lot about this, as Jews are always supposed to be victims, and by definition can’t be terrorists. Had he succeeded, he no doubt would have been described as the victim, and an Arab body would have been chosen to be the terrorist. Then the usual typists would have written their opinion pieces wondering what is it in the ‘Arab mind’ that makes the Palestinians so prone to suicide bombing.

Weekend Truthing Exceeds Expectations

Yesterday, Saturday, I spent 7 hours in Harvard Square manning the billboard station that you all have seen in the video I posted recently. The response on this beautiful day teeming with foot traffic was nothing short of breathtaking.

I had a stack of about a hundred 11 Remarkable Facts flyers that disappeared after a few hours without me actually offering them to anyone other than having a little sign next to the pile saying "please take a flyer!"

I had the audio of the David Ray Griffin talk from Vancouver last May playing on loop with a sign explaining who what where so that in addition to reading the material on the boards people could hear Griffin's reassuring voice of reason.

I had a number of great conversations, including a lady and her husband who appeared to be Pakistani thanking me profusely for doing this, and insisting on taking a picture with me. Responses like that, including their blessings, are one of the best rewards of truthing in public.

Some Recent Comments on Amazon Discussion Board

Cicero says:
"I entered this discussion before having completed Griffin's book; at this point I am convinced beyond a shadow of doubt about 9/11 being a false flag operation."
A. HUSSEIN

Wow! You are convinced 911 was a deliberate plan orchestrated by Bush 43 not just beyond a reasonable doubt, but beyond "a shadow of a doubt." Thankfully, you reside in Vancouver BC and will never be called to serve on an American jury trial. With someone with your infinitesimally low threshold for evidence, facts, and common sense, a prosecutor need only appeal to your warped ideology to get your guilty vote.

Wait... Don't Marijuana Profits Go To Fund Al Qaeda?

In his dissent on a recent free-speech case, Justice John Paul Stevens wades into the war-on-drugs debate, comparing modern-day pot smokers with "otherwise law-abiding patrons of bootleggers and speakeasies," during the prohibition era.

Stevens, who the Washington Post notes turned 87 on April 20, said the current climate surrounding the war on drugs "is reminiscent of the opinion that supported the nationwide ban on alcohol consumption when I was a student."

The Supreme Court this week ruled against an Alaska student who displayed a "BONG HiTS 4 JESUS" sign at an event outside his high school, ..

Real Truther vs. The Larouche Youth - Round 2

See Round 1 here

Every now and then a gaggle of Larouchebags descends on Harvard Square in search of converts to Larouchism. As I wrapped up a three hour session of sign holding/pamphleteering (an occasional after-work pastime) I noticed the Larouche kids setting up shop across the street and decided to check in with them.

For those who don't know, Lyndon Larouche is a self-styled New Deal democrat who has been ostracized from his own party for some time now, and also spent some time in the pokey (jail) for alleged fraud or embezzlement or something. He and his supporters claim he was framed for political reasons and frankly he may well be telling the truth for all I know. In any case suffice it to say that his organization is a little creepy, very international and multicultural, reportedly coercive with its members and well, you know, a bit cultish.

The People's Republic of China Learns About Bohemian Grove!

According to my (American) sources, who thought this was fascinating (they had read about BG in Craig Unger's House of Bush House of Saud) this article has a fairly neutral to positive tone, one of simple curiosity and interest. There is no mention of satanic rituals, just that it is a club that includes many important people who are interested in reviving ancient rituals. The story says that very few people know much about what goes on there but that interest has been growing recently. In other words, nothing weird about it. my source says that it almost sounds like they're saying that this is the kind of stuff that interests the American elites so maybe we should be interested in it too as our country becomes the next superpower. See the original page, which also includes a feature on wtcdemo's own Paris Hilton!

911Blogger Front Pages Video Featuring Mega-Disinfo Shill David Shayler

And Jon Gold posts LIHOP piece (I know, big shock!)

The Shayler video is apparently a slick production and for anyone who fails to read the dissenting comments on 911B will probably seem like a great resource. Problem of course is when they email it to all their friends, someone will discover that David Shayler thinks missiles disguised as planes with holograms hit the towers and that life on earth was brought here by aliens. The poor fool who sends the video then gets mocked by his buddies and never touches anything remotely resembling a 9/11 truth video, site, book, etc.
