"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." George Orwell
America´s leading TV networks and newspapers are called "the elite media." The adjective ¨elite¨ does not indicate distinction. It indicates ownership.
Every day, elite news sources compete to offer the identical version of recent events. It is a mighty thin gruel: reporters masticate for hours on the tiniest morsels provided by their stingy masters.
As with Russians raised on Pravda, we are forced to read between the lines: A convoy of Afghanis is incinerated; 65 are killed. The military says they were Taliban. To its credit, the elite media picks up reports they were Afghani tribal leaders en route to the inauguration in Kabul. Who were they really? Afghanis who were too "independent? The elite media, with all its resources, never says.
People who look for answers must rely on the Internet. There, independent researchers provide a schizophrenia-inducing alternate reality.
For example, we learn that ¨9-11¨ is the oldest deception in the political play book, evoking Hitler´s 1933 Reichstag fire which allowed him to assume dictatorial powers. The war was planned years ago in order to build an oil pipeline from Central Asia to the Indian Ocean. (See Zbigniew Brzezinski, The Grand Chessboard, 1998). The new Afghani leader, Hamid Karzai, was employed as a consultant by the pipeline company, Unocal. Condoleezza Rice was a director of Chevron from 1991-2001, and even has a tanker named for her. Chevron is the principle partner with Kazakhstan in the development of the huge Caspian Sea oil reserves. When the Taliban refused a pipeline right-of-way, the US threatened,"if we can't bury you in gold, we'll bury you in bombs." See this story in South Asian Outlook.
What follows is a sampler from a few more web sites. This is a more nourishing stew but buyer beware!
Peter Goodgame has a fascinating essay,¨America Is Falling into an Illuminati Trap¨ which says Osama Bin Ladin is a pawn of global elites who use Islamic terrorism to undermine nation states (eg. US, Israel, India, Pakistan) and bring about elite-controlled world government. Many Islamic terror groups are still head quartered in London and some are trained there by ¨former British army officers.¨
He cites an interview with Dr. Tatyana Koryagina, a member of Russian President Putin´s brain trust who said the Sept. 11 strike was aimed at "the de stabilization and destruction of America.¨
She said the operation was not the work of 19 terrorists but a larger group seeking to reshape the world. She claimed a group of extremely powerful private persons, with total assets of about $300 trillion, intends to legalize its power and to become the new world government. The Sept. 11 strikes "showed that this group is afraid of nothing: human lives have zero value for them.¨
A story by Carl Cameron, a senior correspondent with Fox News is an illustration of what happens when the elite media stray from the beaten path. This story documents massive Israeli spying in the US including the arrest of 200 Israelis. This spying would have given Israel foreknowledge of Sept. 11. And if Israel knew, others must have known. This story apparently was suppressed from the Fox News Archives. Inquiries are greeted with the notice:¨This story does not exist.¨ It can now be found here.
Another web site,"What Really Happened" contains much provocative information. Here are some examples:
- A growing number of fire protection engineers have theorized that "the structural damage from the planes and the explosive ignition of jet fuel in themselves were not enough to bring down the towers." Fire Engineering Magazine is calling for an inquiry.
- Three articles that appeared in the international press prior to Sept. 11 state that the US had secured Indian and Russian support for a war against the Taliban as early as last March.
- The names of the alleged hijackers released by the FBI do not even appear on the published passenger lists of the four hijacked flights. Indeed the passenger lists are notable for the scarcity of any Arabic sounding names. The web site gives the passenger lists, and says seven of the alleged hijackers were found alive and well in the Middle East:
¨Because the IDs used by the hijackers were phony, we cannot know who they really were or who they really worked for... Not only does the drinking in strip bars not fit the profile of a fanatically religious Muslim willing to die for his cause, but the witness reports of the men in the bars are of men going out of their way to be noticed and remembered, while waving around phony identifications.¨Investigator Michael C. Ruppert´s web site has much important information including a story which traces huge speculation in United Airlines put options, in advance of Sept. 11, to a firm connected to the top echelons of the CIA. A companion piece suggests that under the UN, opium poppy production will soon be up and running again.
Ruppert, a former LAPD investigator, has begun a speaking tour to expose the current war on terror as a hoax. Noam Chomsky has a book entitled 9-11 which is reviewed by a former WTC employee on Barnes and Noble, as follows:¨ You will learn more about the September 11th attacks from this little book than you will from watching Fox News for 100 years.´´
William Thomas also has a important book All Fall Down: The Politics of Terror and Mass Persuasion which describes the events of Sept. 11 as a ¨silent coup in America.¨ There is a another great web site with links to pictures of smoke pouring out of one WTC tower before the plane crash.
Conservatives should consider what these people are saying. If they are correct, the old divisions between Left and Right are obsolete. We may now face a brazen seizure of dictatorial power by the elites. Most patriotic Americans, including some members of the Bush administration, may not realize what is happening.
Furthermore, as the facts of 9-11 emerge, I sense a new anti-war movement will swell the ranks of the anti globalization cause. It will make the Kennedy Assassination and the anti-Vietnam protests look like picnics. Will opponents of the ¨war on terror¨ also be branded terrorists?
Finally, recent events prove that information is power. The elite media has shown itself to be a cringing servant of power, and an effective instrument of propaganda and social control.
The Internet may be our only source of information, and our only hope for the preservation of freedom.
Must be some new bunker on a miniature golf course, just past the windmill but before the clown's mouth.
I am BEGGING for a "yes" here. He cannot possibly be serious about this:
There is a another great web site with links to pictures of smoke pouring out of one WTC tower before the plane crash.
What's great about somebody obviously using an overexposed shot of the two towers and then claiming it's only one? Nobody familiar with the towers would be fooled by it, this is the sort of crap that only plays well, uh, "overseas".
If the Bilderbergers were really behind this, you wouldn't even suspect them. They are far to cunning and clever to let that happen. No, the very fact that you suspect the Bilderbergers is clear evidence that they are not involved. :-)
And the most provocative bit of news is that Mossad agents were celebrating in the streets two hours BEFORE the first plane hit the first tower.
Of course, "WRH" is the creation of erstwhile FReeper Michael Rivero, who posits a conspiracy behind everything. Michael hates Jews, Catholics (well, he hates Christians, period) and Americans. The Kursk was hit by an American torpedo, and JFK Jr.'s plane was brought down by a bomb under the wing.
Rivero does know how to get press, however, and doesn't mind being viewed as a whack-job.
Or, maybe I'll just join the Møøse Lodge. I happen to know for a fact that the Illuminati, the Trilateral Commission, the Knights Templar, the Masons, and the Bilderbergers all report to the head of the Møøse Lodge.
Just speak into the antlers please.
And buy their books and visit their websites.
It couldn't be about money, could it?
Ahhh, but NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!
What you didn't point out, and you should have, is that Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquistion! Be Seeing You,
Chris (...laughing mercilessly as hundreds of Freepers now feel compelled to root out all of their old Python jpegs to post)
If it's listed as a bullet in a diatribe like this, it makes it seem more like a "magic bullet."
NOBODY has claimed that either the impact of the jet -or- the "explosive ignition" brought down the building. Obviously it did not!!! The buildings stood for an hour or so after the initial strike and the initial explosion.
What has been claimed is that the slow-burning kerosene softened the strength treatment in the steel beams, and the potential energy of the upper floors brought the rest of the building down by falling.
Reading this literally, as we must post-Xlintoon, I assume that the entire article is made up of such claptrap.
I happen to know that I am having a post-Christmas pre-tax sale on myself and I AM GOING VERY CHEAP! They can buy me at a discount.
Slightly used, excess mileage ... rebored.
It's not very rewarding.
Your mother was a hamster
And your father smelled of elderberries.
I fart in your general direction.
Now go away or else I shall taunt you a second time!
... and the favorite toy of nuts.
Well, he certainly seems like the kind of fellow I'd get my geopolictical analysis from...
