FAKE TERROR – THE ROAD TO DICTATORSHIP

FAKE TERROR – THE ROAD TO DICTATORSHIP

Marcus Licinius Crassus

This is an older article from 2000, so it’s from before 9/11.

The article gives a good brief of famous fake terror and false flag operations akin to 9/11, such as:

  • Rome 70 BC: Crassus manipulates Spartacus to appear as threat to Rome.
  • Germany 1933: Hitler exploits – and possibly creates Reichtag fire.
  • Havanna 1898: USA blows up their own battleship USS Maine, and attack Spain.
  • Perl Harbor 1941: USA covertly pressures Japan into attacking the US fleet.
  • Gulf of Tonkin 1964: USA falsely claims Vietnam has attacked the USS Maddox.
  • Kuwait 1990: USA lures Saddam Hussein into attacking Kuwait, and subsequently attacks Irak.
  • Bosnia 1992: Faked photo of concentration camp used as pretext for US attack.
  • Sudan 1998: A sexgated Clinton Cruise-missiles a Sudan on false WMD claims.
  • Afghanistan 1998: Sexgate like in Sudan.
  • WTC 1993: FBI plants bomb inside World Trade Center.

Not included in this article:

  • Oklahoma 1995: FBI blows up the Murrah Federal Building.
  • New York and Pentagon 2001:  Bush’s puppetmasters Demolishes WTC, and part of Pentagon.

More pictures of death and destruction in Lebanon

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

When I look at these pictures I think:

Our Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Møller ought to take look at pictures such as these before he parots more of the US propaganda about a cease-fire not being the right thing to do. Then he should think long and hard; how would he react if this was his Friends, family and children, would he really agree that a cease-fire was not called for?

I put these pictures into the Picture Gallery at

Kevin Barrett Appears On ‘For The Record’
By Adam Malecek, Staff Writer
July 22, 2006

This article is quite fine, but watch the absolutely splendid interview video! Barrett’s lengthy, warm and compelling tour de force should be seen and studied by anyone facing civil questioning of their 9/11 beliefs. Like Dr. Stephen Jones, Kevin brings an extremely sympathetic and human voice to what are essentially horrific conversations and gives listeners both courage and hope in the process. The video can be downloaded for podcasting and other forms of sharing, and we urge you to share it widely. – Ed.

MADISON, Wis. — Controversial University of Wisconsin-Madison lecturer Kevin Barrett appeared on WISC-TV’s “For The Record,” discussing his views on the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Islamic studies and the class he is teaching this fall at UW-Madison.

…Mr. Cheney is a vile, indeed evil, influence in American political life. He is a very dangerous person who would if he could destroy American freedom about which he and his mentor prate hypocritically. His long years in Washington have caused him to lose faith in the legislative and judicial processes of the government. The country, he believes, requires a much stronger executive. Such concentrated power would have been necessary even if the Sept. 11 attacks had not occurred. Mr. Cheney uses the fear of terrorists as a pretext to advance his agenda of an all powerful president, a military dictator…

It’s Put up or Shut up Time in Lebanon

Mike Whitney

“Over the past few days, the Israelis did the maximum they can do,
from the air and sea. There is no targetËœold, new, assumed, expected,
based on information and analysis˜they did not hit∑ (But) Hezbollah is
still managing the battle calmly, slowly, quietly , and without any
emotional reaction. You can see this. There are no unnecessary threats
and no random rhetoric∑We are not a classic army extending from the
sea to Mt. Hermon. We are a popular and serious resistance movement
that is present in many areas and axes∑Our equation and principles are
the following: When the Israelis enter, they must pay dearly in terms
of their tanks, officers, and soldiers. This is what we pledge to do
and we will honor our pledge, God willing.” Hasan Nasrallah,
Secretary Hezbollah, Al Jazeera interview;
uruknet.info

The Israeli High-Command loves the air-war phase of the conflict.
After all, no one gets killed at 30,000 ft. The only victims of this
lethal-strategy are the unlucky women and children who are left
scampering for their lives while Israeli bombs flatten their ho mes and
all their worldly possessions. (more…)

The Secret Team

Monday, July 24th, 2006

I haven’t read this rather lengthy paper, but by the description it is some kind of forerunner to PNAC’s “Rebuilding America’s defences”.

Apparently it should bring insight into the Machicavellian machinations of US government, and – I guess – all round Power Elites of the world.

…”I’ve been too busy to fish. I’ve been too busy to do anything,” said Barrett, whose red beard is graying, as he climbed the hill from the lake toward the cabin. On the way up, he passed an old satellite dish and a faded orange Everlast punching bag. “This 9/11 thing is turning into a monster.”…

Conspiracy Theories 101 – New York Times

Monday, July 24th, 2006

New York Times owes up to their reputation as a serious newspaper and puts the Kevin Barrett case in sober academic perspective.

I always find it refreshing to see the ideals of rational thinking presented clearly.

It’s such a nice counterbalance to the often rabid and partisan views presented here in my blog, by others… and myself!  ;-)

I think this article provides not only straight guidelines for teaching in academia, but also more broadly for approaching any study, and in particular the study of 9/11.

Conspiracy Theories 101 – New York Times

…It is perfectly possible to teach a viewpoint without embracing it and urging it. But the moment a professor does embrace and urge it, academic study has ceased and been replaced by partisan advocacy…

Jon Gold Questions Scott Ritter And Ray McGovern

Monday, July 24th, 2006

911podcasts.com presents Jon Gold Questions Scott Ritter And Ray McGovern O

The most interesting aspect of this to me, is to see Scott Ritter’s stance on 9/11.

He is not ready to “Jump the bandwaggon”, but he certainly doesn’t ridicule the idea that 9/11 could be an inside job. He notices that the 9/11 report lacks transparency.

To Scott the most important aspect of 9/11 is that no matter who inflicted the attack, subsequently – the very next day actually – the Government exploited the attack to deceive USA into two wars on false pretenses. And this lying in itself is by Scott’s admission enough to indict the president.

Unfortunately the sound quality of this clip is rather bad.

(How come the audio-quality of 9/11 recordings are often soo bad? What about some professionalism here?  ;-)

U.S. Arming of Israel:

Much has been made of the Syrian and Iranian origin of weaponry used by Hezbollah but there has been little discussion of where Israel’s weapons come from. A new report by the World Policy Institute examines how the United States provides billions of dollars of military aid to Israel each year and how their current arsenal is composed of U.S made equipment.

Approaches to working with 911truth

Sunday, July 23rd, 2006

In the discussion regarding approaches to 911truth work cms@belowgroundsurface.org wrote in a comment to my previous post “Belowgroundsurface.org“:

Actually, after reflecting on it, I didn’t like the accusatory tone of the piece and I actually re-wrote it to be less confrontational. You should check out the new one at http://belowgroundsurface.org/indexes/index2.html and let me know what you think.

So I did and I wrote an answer in the form of an email with interspersed comments:

The Greatest Danger To The 9/11 Truth Movement: Narrowing the Range of Acceptable Discussion

We seem to be in the midst right now of a long-term strategy promoted by Jim Hoffman and his coauthors to narrow the range of acceptable discussion in the 9/11 truth movement down to one issue and one issue only: Controlled Demolition.

I’m not refuting that Hoffman may have expressed the intent to limit the 911truth agenda to only one issue, but I haven’t seen such statements from him myself yet.
It would suit your article to provide some exact links and pointers to Hoffman’s statements regarding this ‘one-issue-issue’.
Also I would personally like some pointers to such statements from Hoffman, because it is difficult for me to provide full feedback on your article when I don’t share this background knowledge with you, and I am simply interested in knowing about this.
So consider this request both actual feedback to your article and an actual wish by me, that you provide me with links to ‘one-issue’ statements by Hoffman.
I could try to find such statements myself, but hoffman’s sites tend to be rather sprawling and the information you refer to may even be located outside of his domains.
So thank you in advance for links to relevant information. (more…)

The real aims of the US-backed Israeli war against Lebanon

It’s interesting to see that SOME pundits without referring to 9/11 are able to reach realistic analyses, as if they did know 911truth.
The real aims of the US-backed Israeli war against Lebanon

Washington’s determined effort to allow Israel to continue the slaughter in Lebanon underscores that the current war is part of US imperialism’s drive, by any and all means, to establish American supremacy throughout the Middle East.

9/11 Blogger – Blogging 9/11 Related Alternative News: Professor Jones: No Nukes at the WTC
Professor Jones: No Nukes at the WTC

I just want to pass on a couple findings from Professor Steve Jones, to clear up confusion.

Professor Jones has tentatively found that:

* The levels of radiation measured at and near the World Trade Centers are far below those which would indicate the use of nuclear weapons or mini-nukes

* The thermite/thermate used at the World Trade Centers likely included nanothermite or nanothermate, and not just conventional thermite/thermate. Dr. Jones tells me “Actually, the evidence suggests both forms were used! The molten metal seen flowing from WTC2 would be from the conventional form, for instance.”

* Real planes crashed into the Twin Towers. Specifically, Professor Jones stresses “This is not just my conclusion –– the Scholars for 9/11 Truth have examined the evidence and debated the issue, and the broad consensus of the Scholars from their internal debates is that real planes crashed into the Twin Towers.”

* The Scholars are split on what hit the Pentagon, and are demanding the release of all video tapes
