Linked to pro-war propaganda/asylum “Mother Jones.” We’ve seen enough unhinged nonsense from MJ to conclude some linkage to covert intelligence, a la “Project Mockingbird.”

In February of last year, Mother Jones senior reporter and pro-war propagandist Shane Bauer publicly demanded for the popular blogging site Medium to ban anti-war journalists from its platform.

“1-They were created for advancing propaganda

2-Their members have been caught assisting in public executions and sympathizing with Islamist terrorists

3-Their leaders have also helped the group collaborate with terrorists

4-They’ve been shown to neglect their “humanitarian” duties so that they can advance propaganda”

Guns Don’t Make Us Safer – Here’s the Proof

Evil-Facebook

 

Facebook now removes all comments with links to SOURCES. They mark any comment with a link (that I’ve posted, anyway) as “SPAM.” It’s not spam. It’s the source that destroys the FAKE NEWS the poster is peddling.

It is now impossible to refute garbage fake news with facts, as you cannot link to good sources. Facebook has become an insular hotbed of stupidity and propaganda.

The right to freedom of speech only protects people against adverse actions by the government:  It does not insulate them from retaliation in the private economic sector.  Therefore, freedom of speech is usually the purview of the rich, whose resources allow them to survive such retaliation.

The right to freedom of the press doesn’t necessarily give writers access to the press, and, even when it does, these writers incessantly have to run through a gauntlet of “editors,” who ultimately decide if certain works are “worthy” of publication, and, if so, in what form.

 

CHOMSKY-1_web.jpg

A reporter asked Noam Chomsky about Vice President Joe Biden’s comments calling out US allies for aiding ISIS:

“Joe Biden… he accused the allies of conniving or helping ISIS; then he apologized.”

24:50

Chomsky immediately, like an obfuscation machine, takes the word “allied” and contorts the question to change the meaning:

Chomsky:

“He didn’t actually say they were allied with ISIS.”

What does this answer mean exactly? Do we need a team of lawyers to parse what the definition of “allied” is?

The question was US allies “conniving or helping ISIS,” which of courrse is what Biden said. Giving them massive amounts of lethal weapons–what Biden actually said:

“The Turks were great friends, and I’ve a great relationship with [Turkish President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan, … the Saudis, the Emiratis, etc. What were they doing? They were so determined to take down [Syrian President Bashar al-]Assad and essentially have a proxy Sunni-Shia war. What did they do?” Biden asked, according to a recording of the speech posted on the White House’s website. They poured hundreds of millions of dollars and tens of thousands of tons of weapons into anyone who would fight against Assad, except that the people who were being supplied were al-Nusra, and al Qaeda, and the extremist elements of jihadis coming from other parts of the world.

Chomsky says next:

“What he said was accurate. They leave the border open. They leave the opportunity for ISIS to strengthen itself.”

How does Noam Chomsky erase tens of thousands of tons of weapons” from reality with a few well-placed turns of phrase?

It’s not just Biden accusing the US allies of supporting ISIS, of course. Chomsky surely knows about other parties, such as the Defense Intelligence Agency and generals like Martin Dempsey.

Noam Chomsky is helping sell a fraud. You don’t gloss over tens of thousands of tons of weapons. He’s not senile. He doesn’t have Alzheimers. He has an agenda.

Why ISIS Exists: The Double Game

The 9/11 Blame Game

Ignorant spinmeisters across the corporate spectrum, and on foundation-funded “left” media, have been carefully choosing their headlines today. As Donald Trump Tweets at Jeb Bush and vice-versa, the topic of the actual September 11th attacks needs to be delicately spun to suit the expected narrowly tailored spectrum of so-called “debate.” This is the antithesis of debate, by the way, an apriori excising of all inconvenient facts from the discussion.

We have been living in a Big Lie for 14 years, and many millions of Americans have railed against it. The facts of the September 11th attack operation are largely sealed and kept classified to protect Saudi financiers and treasonous US officials who gave the green light. Beyond acquiescence, the legitimate investigations of terrorists prior to 9/11/01, such as the case of Zacharias Moussaoui, were deliberately halted and thwarted by superiors in the bowels of the intelligence establishment. We have seen a massive cover-up, on par with the Warren Commission, concerning Saudi sponsorship of the hijackers. This cover-up, by two administrations, is the highest treason (“aid and comfort” to the enemy), and should be cause for impeachment and prosecution immediately. That’s reality, as the facts of the attacks show unequivocally.

Senator Bob Graham has, since December of 2002, told the American public of “foreign governments” providing money and logistical support to the hijackers. To erase these revelations from history the Bush regime censored his 28 pages on foreign support to the 9/11 hijackers, and then they sent in their professor of myth-making, Philip Zelikow, to fabricate a facsimile of an investigation.

Zelikow would fire Commission staffer Dana Leseman for simply getting a copy of the 28 pages, in order to pursue the leads. He also refused to investigate the list of Saudis provided by Commission investigators, claiming that there were simply too many. Zelikow’s response was to cut the list down and hobble the investigation, from behind the scenes.

Even Richard Clarke, the highest counter-terrorism official in the United States on 9/11, has said that “fifty” CIA personnel were aware that the San Diego Al Qaeda cell was in the country, for 16 months prior to the attacks. For over a year the CIA did absolutely nothing, except hide the facts from Clarke and from the FBI. This 16 month window was allegedly a time of “hair on fire” urgency concerning an impending terrorist attack. A May 1, 2001 presidential briefing warned the White House in black and white that “‘a group presently in the United States’ was planning a terrorist operation (NY Times).”

A group presently in the United States: the president was informed. The CIA knew who these guys were. The CIA hid their existence from the FBI. The CIA even hid the information from a National Security Council meeting one week prior to the attacks, as per Richard Clarke, who was present at the meeting.

Senator Graham also talked about the shenanigans in Florida, where the government claimed to have no surveillance on the abandoned mansion in Sarasota, only to have to admit to hiding 80,000 pages. Those are 80k pages that were completely ignored by the so-called 9/11 Commission Investigation. That alleged mistake, taken in context, could also be considered “aid and comfort” to named individuals who were directly connected to the hijackers, including the alleged “lead hijacker” Mohamad Atta. The government’s own story claims that these are the people who committed the 9/11 attacks, and yet hides the evidence of who they consorted with and from whom they received money.

Any “aid and comfort” to terrorists attacking the US should be considered Treason, as per the US Constitution, Article 3. The Constitution is very clear about people engaged in “levying war” on the country. An after the fact cover-up is “adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.”

Enter Jeb Bush, the brother of the man who did absolutely nothing to fulfill his duties as Commander in Chief of the military at 9:05am, when he was informed that “America is under attack.” George W. Bush sat there for twenty minutes. As the Washington Times reported his press secretary, Ari Fleischer (corrected: 10/20), held up a message on a legal pad to signal President Bush: “Don’t say anything yet.”

Later that day Fleischer would lie to the world and claim “No warnings” were received, a demonstrable falsehood so glaring it should have been cause for his arrest at that moment.

But the next day, 9/12 of 2001, when the world was fixated on the rubble in lower Manhattan, Florida Governor Jeb Bush went to work. He ordered all the files stored at the Venice Florida police department that concerned the local flight schools loaded into a Ryder truck. The flight schools were where Mohamad Atta and company allegedly learned how to fly. The truck full of police records drove to the Sarasota Airport, and up onto a C130 transport plane, and flew out with Jeb aboard. The files were never received by the FBI, and are missing to this day.

Jeb Bush should be considered a person of interest in the mass murder of September 11th. Perhaps that’s why he’s come out shrieking hysterically at Trump this past weekend. Enough evidence is already out in public to indict him and his brother for high treason. Only, the majority of Americans are misled about what we know, what it means, and what we can do about it. The mis-leaders are the media and the self-styled pundits who spin the attacks into some vague obfuscation. Trump is one of the spinmeisters, of course. But the US corporate media are also complicit propagandists. US media has erased this history, which I have merely scratched the surface of, and continues to do so daily. It does not investigate the real crime of 9/11 but seeks to provide enough blustering emotionalism to suffice, so that the public doesn’t get suspicious and supplant the propagandists. Media relies on a lazy, apathetic public that isn’t prodded into acting and investigating for itself. It wants couch potatoes who long to be told what to think, and more importantly what not to think.

So we get the silly blame game. Trump’s xenophobic anti-immigrant Jihad would have stopped 9/11! Jeb’s brother was keeping us safe! What irrelevant blather.

Release the 28 censored pages now. Today.

The people who actually know about the 9/11 attacks, people like Senator Graham, Paul Thompson, who created the Complete 9/11 Timeline, and former Underwriters Laboratories engineer Kevin Ryan, are the ones to listen to. Something’s rotten in Washington, so rotten that the media dare not even hint of it. That something is high treason, an ongoing crime with no statute of limitations. US officials need to be prosecuted for their malfeasance. If prosecutions moved forward, the entire plot would unravel like a house of cards tumbling to the table.

If America has any self-respect remaining at all it will demand justice, the immediate release of the 28 pages on Saudi sponsorship of the attacks, and a new government that actually defends the nation instead of using attacks as a deliberate plan to expand the empire and increase profits.

That “new Pearl Harbor,” and associated strategy, from the Project for a New American Century, is quite real and proceeds to this day. It has a bipartisan consensus, and the goal is control of the world’s resources. If that’s not motive enough, then I’m not sure what else I can tell you.

Fourteen Incredible Facts About 9/11

As the 14th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, it’s important to remind people that we still don’t know what happened that day.

What is known about 9/11 is that there are many incredible facts that continue to be ignored by the government and the mainstream media. Here are fourteen.

An outline of what was to become the 9/11 Commission Report was produced before the investigation began. The outline was kept secret from the
Commission’s staff and appears to have determined the outcome of the investigation.

The 9/11 Commission claimed sixty-three (63) times in its Report that itcould find “no evidence” related to important aspects of the crimes.

One person, Shayna Steiger, issued 12 visas to the alleged hijackers in Saudi Arabia. Steiger issued some of the visas without interviewing the applicants and fought with another employee at the embassy who tried to prevent her lax approach.

Before 9/11, the nation’s leading counter-terrorism expert repeatedly notified his friends in the United Arab Emirates of top-secret U.S. plans to capture Osama bin Laden. These treasonous leaks prevented Bin Laden’s capture on at least two separate occasions.

Former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger was caught stealing documents from the National Archives that had been requested by the 9/11 Commission. The Commission had previously been denied access to the documents but the White House reluctantly agreed to turn them over just as Berger was trying to steal them..

The official story of the failed air defenses on 9/11 was changed several times and, in the end, paradoxically exonerated the military by saying that the military had lied many times about its response. The man who was behind several of the changing accounts was a specialist in political warfare (i.e. propaganda).

Military exercises being conducted on the day of 9/11 mimicked the attacks as they were occurring and obstructed the response to the attacks. NORAD commander Ralph Eberhart sponsored those exercises, failed to do his job that day, and later lied to Congress about it (if the 9/11 Commission account is true).

third skyscraper collapsed late in the afternoon on 9/11. This was WTC 7, a 47-story building that the government’s final report says fell into its own footprint due to office fires. The building’s tenants included U.S. intelligence agencies and a company led in part by Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney.Meetings were scheduled there to discuss terrorism and explosives on the morning of 9/11.

News agencies, including BBC and CNN, announced the destruction of WTC 7 long before it happened. One BBC reporter announced the collapse while viewers could see the still-standing building right behind her in the video. Years later, after claiming that it had lost the tapes and then found them again, BBC’s answer to this astonishing report was that everything was just “confusing and chaotic” that day. Of course, one problem with this is that the news agencies predicted the exact building, of the many damaged in the area, that would collapse. Another big problem is that no one could have possibly predicted the collapse of WTC 7 given the unprecedented and unbelievable official account for how that happened.

Construction of the new, 52-story WTC 7 was completed two years before the government knew what happened to the first WTC 7. In fact, when the new building was completed in 2006, the spokesman for the government investigation said, “We’ve had trouble getting a handle on building No. 7.” The construction of the new building, without regard for how the first one was destroyed, indicates that building construction professionals in New York City did not believe it could ever happen again.

Ultimately, building construction codes were not changed as a result of the root causes cited by the National Institute for Standards and Technology for destruction of the World Trade Center (WTC) buildings. This fact shows that the international building construction community does not believe that the WTC buildings were destroyed as stated in the official account.

AMEC, the company that just finished rebuilding the exact spot where Flight 77 was said to hit, was put in charge of cleanup at the WTC and the Pentagon. The man who ran the company, Peter Janson, was a long-time business associate of Donald Rumsfeld.

The response of the U.S. Secret Service to the 9/11 attacks suggests foreknowledge of the events in that the agency failed to protect the presidentfrom the obvious danger posed by terrorists.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission notified the FBI of suspected 9/11 insider trading transactions. That evidence was ignored and the suspects were not even questioned by the FBI or the 9/11 Commission.

There are, of course, many more incredible facts about 9/11 that continue to be ignored by the authorities and much of the media.
