“As we awaken more of the sleeping masses we gain more strength. People who have been living comfortable lives up to this point are getting jolted from their complacency. There will be a major shift. The shift in energy has been happening for some time now and is really kicking into high gear. Release all fear and you are unstoppable.” - Ann Capotosto
March 8, 2010, Greencastle, Ind. — “If the Tea Party movement is the spoiled stepchild of the American news media, then the 9/11 Truth movement is the mad woman in the attic of U.S. journalistic culture,” according to Kevin Howley, associate professor of communication at DePauw University. His Bloomington Alternative column examines a new study out of Canada which suggests that “news reports that bring up troubling questions about the official story surrounding the events of Sept. 11, 2001, are gaining traction in the international press.”
The professor notes, “Significantly, these news narratives no longer frame the 9/11 Truth movement as so much conspiracy theory. Rather, independent, commercial and public service news organizations the world over are giving serious consideration to allegations that challenge the veracity of the official story that emerged in the days and weeks following the 9/11 attacks.”
According to Dr. Howley, “One story in particular seems to have created an opening for subsequent reports that challenge the official story: the April 2009 publication of a peer-reviewed study appearing in Open Chemical Physics Journal. The journal article presents the findings of an examination of dust from the site of the World Trade Center. The dust sample revealed traces of nano-thermite, a highly explosive substance that has been linked to classified military research.” That work led to coverage by several mainstream news organizations, Howley reports.
Citing other examples, the professor writes, “For instance, in a story pegged to the anniversary of the attacks, the Sept. 11, 2009, edition of London’s Daily Mail draws on the work of Dr. David Ray Griffin whose book Osama bin Laden: Dead or Alive? suggests that bin Laden died of kidney failure — in December 2001. Griffin goes on to challenge the (more…)
New picture releases are shedding light on September 11th, some say they prove that the assault on America proves a homegrown attack. The new photos are provided by US national institute of standards and technology. There are over 2,000 new photos that have been made public. Manny Badillo says that you see an explosion from the inside, not what it has seemed to be, he says there has never been a building taken down by a plane.

December 2, 2009- The Morning after President Obama’s Afghanistan Escalation Speech
Tape of Obama’s speech: “This vast and diverse citizenry will not always agree on every issue, nor should we. But I also know that we as a country cannot sustain our leadership, nor navigate the momentous challenges of our time, if we allow ourselves to be split asunder by the same rancor and cynicism, and partisanship that has in recent times poisoned our national discourse.
.
It’s easy to forget that when this war began, we were united, bound together by the fresh memory of a horrific attack, and by the determination to defend our homeland and the values we hold dear. I refuse to accept the notion that we cannot summon that unity again…”
.
CSPAN host Robb Harleston: Some of the split that the President was talking to is referred to in this morning’s Wall Street Journal with this headline: “Critics From Across the Spectrum Rip Plan: Some of Obama’s most loyal backers denounce escalation despite quick draw-down designs, signaling political troubles ahead.” Next up, Columbus Georgia- James, supports the President.
.
James: Yes sir.
.
CSPAN host: Go ahead James.
.
James: Sir, I’m an NCO in the Army right now.
.
CSPAN host: Yes?
.
James: And it bothers me that the American people are not following our President, because we’re trained to follow our leaders, no matter right, wrong or indifferent.
.
CSPAN host: There’s an article, James, in this morning’s New York Times talking about the strain of military service meets the resolve to go on. And in it, they quote a Colonel Viet Luong, who’s the commander of the 3rd Brigade, one of the Army’s most deployed divisions. He says, “It’s tough to go on another deployment, but for us, it’s another mission and we embrace the opportunity to be able to accomplish our mission and do the jobs that we came in the army to do.” Your thoughts.
.
James: Yes sir, I totally agree. And that’s the thing. Being an NCO, I’m a leader myself. And I must, no matter what, I gotta make sure my troops are ready. And it bothers me that the American people don’t follow. And no matter if they dislike or like what he does, because, you know, me, as a leader, I have to take my troops into combat and do what I’m told. And that’s just what I do.
.
CSPAN host: Have you been deployed to either Iraq or Afghanistan, James?
.
James: I’ve been there twice sir.
.
CSPAN host: To Afghanistan?
.
James: To Iraq sir.
.
CSPAN host: Ok. Any- Do you know if there are any plans in the pipeline for you to be part of that 30 thousand’s that’s going to Afghanistan.
.
James: I’m not sure right now sir.
.
CSPAN host: Ok, thanks for your call. Let’s move on to Los Angeles- Jeremy opposes the President’s proposal.
.
Jeremy: I prop— I oppose the President’s proposal because I support and defend the Constitution. And I would remind the previous service member who called that the first duty, oath— that was part of the oath that he took- was to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, and then, secondly, to follow all orders, if they are lawful. And the reason that I think that opposing the President is to defend the Constitution is because I am looking at historical fact and scientific fact very clearly about where terrorism comes from. And it looks clear that Obama is following his predecessor George W. Bush in committing what, under Article III Section 3 of the Constitution, is defined as treason, giving aid and comfort to the enemies who attacked us on 9/11.
.
And I would just point out the clear and convincing proof of multiple evidence strains of these buildings being brought down in controlled demolitions with living human beings in them—from the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, over a thousand of them, multi—numerous civil and structural engineers, and then, finally, this paper, “Active Thermitic Material Discovered in the Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center…” Anyone can go find it. I, personally, have indicated its presence to the Attorney General, to the Vice President, to Senators and Representatives on both Judiciary and Intelligence Committees, and to my own Congressperson. None of them have disputed the science. None of them will actually respond in any coherent manner. So it is time for the American people and the American soldiers to do their duty and to speak the truth.
My name is Saad Ali, I am from We Are Change Chicago. I recently made a trip out to Pakistan, in hopes to answer some questions i had. I wanted to share it with you. Nowadays we hear lots of things about Pakistan in the news. We hear that Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda is in Pakistan and they’re supposedly hiding under some bush plotting to destroy the world. We hear about the drones that Obama ordered, in which hundreds of innocent people died. And lastly, we are hear about the bombings going on everyday in Pakistan, in which hundreds die daily. I wanted to know what is REALLY going on over there, so i thought i should go check it out in person.
I visited D.I khan, a city 3 hours south of Waziristan, Pakistan, which is where the drones were dropped. There was a military operation going on in Waziristan while i was there, complete police state. Police with AK-47’s where stationed on every corner of the entire city. All schools and Universities have been shut down. We were living under curfews. I had to watch my back 24/7 with the worry that a bomb would go off or someone would start shooting innocent people. D.I. Khan is the city that was most effected by the bombings in the entire country. Over 4,000 people have been killed due to suicide bombings and targeted killings in that city alone. The entire country has seen death tolls well beyond 10,000. I was able to speak with mainstream media and other officials about the situation. I wanted to know why all this was going on, who is responsible for this? All fingers point towards a couple agencies: Blackwater, Massad, Ra, and CIA. Media in Pakistan have reported on BlackWater in specific. Blackwater contractors have been given housing and private land, confirmed, in a variety of cities throughout the country. Russia Today and Wayne Madsen reported on BlackWater in Pakistan, and how they have been recruiting in that country for targeted killings. A recent [url=http://www.infowars.com/pakistani-pashtuns-say-blackwater-usa-xe-services-responsible-for-peshawar-bomb/]article[/url] on Infowars.com explains Blackwater ties to the recent bombing in Peshawar, Pakistan. According to the public and some Pakistani media outlets, Blackwater has its hands deep within the bombings that are happening on a daily basis in Pakistan. They are out there buying and recruiting terrorists. Blackwater is recruiting and offering money to people if they enlist, and suicide bomb an area successfully, again this is according to media outlets and the majority of the public. Now you might ask, what’s the point, why are they doing this? Well, we have seen in the past what Blackwater has done in Iraq, what they are doing in Afghanistan, and around the World. They are creating a war between Shia’s and Sunnis kind of like what we saw in Iraq, Blackwater was there as well and we saw a shia/sunni war there too (hmmmmm.. I wonder why.) Shia’s and Sunni’s have lived in peace in Pakistan for decades, why would they, out of nowhere, just start killing each other. Christians, Jews, and Hindus also all live in peace together in Pakistan. Why is it that only the Shia’s and Sunni’s are fighting? These are all questions i had, So i talked to people from the Shia side and Sunni side, and BOTH agreed that there is a third party creating this feud. They are destabilizing Pakistan by creating this civil war. The country has become a Police State like i have never seen before. The country is slowly self destructing.
The talks of Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda in Pakistan was another issue i touched upon. The people i spoke with all denied Bin Ladens and Al Qaeda’s presence in Pakistan. According to the media and public, it is just an excuse, a tool, a scare for a broader agenda. Everyone i spoke with acknowledges that Bin Laden and Al Qaeda are tools of the CIA, and are helping destroy the country.
I spoke with refugees who have fled from Waziristan, Pakistan, the area in which Obama had ordered drones to be dropped, in which hundreds have died from. These people have been displaced from their homes, their children, husbands, wives, parents, brothers, sisters, and friends have been killed. They have nothing left. What happened to the change Obama kept talking about? Obama and his handlers have the blood of hundreds on their hands. What more does the public need to realize that Obama is carrying the same agenda as Bush and he is no different whatsoever. Hillary was just in Pakistan, she says, “I find it hard to believe Pakistan can’t find Al Qaeda.” Al Qaeda was created by the CIA, their whereabouts are well known to Hillary, as if it matters at all. The real threat to the people of this world lies within a small few corrupt bankers, corporate executives, and powerful political figures from all over who are pushing for a New World Order.
The people of Pakistan want to live in peace where they can raise a family happily without having to worry about a bomb going off or being shot at. Pakistan is becoming a product of the New World Order, and it is something that we saw happen in Iraq before and may be something we might see happen right here in America. We need to get out there and expose the New World Order agenda. I will be releasing a video soon, but i hope my report on Pakistan answered questions that you might have had, and gave you a broader scope on what is actually going on in Pakistan. Keep fighting the New World Order, May god be with us all.
Michelle Goldberg was Ian Masters’ first guest on the second hour of Background Briefing today on KPFK (Sunday, Oct 19, 2009: go to: http://www.kpfk.org/index.php , click on “Audio Archives”).
This segment was dedicated to bashing conspiracy theories of nearly every kind, including 9/11 truth, chemtrails, the mandatory flu vaccine operation & martial law readiness, globalism, with the target focus of the guest’s recent piece in The New Republic being Alex Jones, “one of the country’s most significant purveyors of paranoia”.
And it goes on from there with special mention of Jones being executive producer of the most recent version of Loose Change. Unlike Naomi Wolf, who’s essentially disappeared from sight after slam dunking the 9/11 truth movement in her Guatemalan Times editorial, it seems Michelle Goldberg and her intellectually-challenged yellow journalism is the latest “liberated” female (pseudo) deep thinker to be fronted by the state controlled media machine…and of course, the New Pacifica Radio with Ian Masters front and center (soon to be launched to Pacifica national must carry status over its five stations if we don’t prevent it).
There are some in the liberal/”progressive” political communities as well as the 9/11 truth movement and who may be glad to hear Ian and his guest characterize Alex Jones as presented on KPFK today. One may not agree with every issue Jones (and others in the truth movement) expouse on the internet, I am appalled but not surprised to hear the scurilous inuendo being presented as “journalism” by Ian Masters’ and the current brainless (and posibly unwitting?) schill for government disinformation, Michelle Goldberg. This interview MUST be heard by 9/11 truth advocates and those spearheading the reisistance to the US government’s and WHO’s plan to mandatorily vaccinate all persons in the US, Canada, Mexico and other countries.
Following Goldberg, Ian inteviews Les Leopold, “The Looting of America” which is worth hearing especially in that much of the inuendo presented with the previous guest is then contradicted by Ian’s appearing to validate his guest in populist progressive spin regarding the wholesale corruption of the US financial kleptocracy on Wall Street, while the Democrats do virtually nothing. Ian keeps wondering out loud when are the people going to throw out these robbers.

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society.Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country… From our leaders and the media they use to reach the public, we accept the evidence and the demarcation of issues bearing upon public questions; from some ethical teacher, be it a minister, a favorite essayist, or merely prevailing opinion, we accept a standardized code of social conduct to which we conform most of the time.” – from Edward Bernays’ Propaganda (1928). (My emphasis.)
“Oh shame, where is they blush?” – from Shakespeare’s Hamlet
While listening to a recent interview between Alex Jones and Charlie Sheen, I heard Sheen bemoan the surprising lack of support he had received from the entertainment community (specifically from those who are, at least in private, critical of the government’s explanation for 9/11) while taking heavy fire from the media in response to his “20 Minutes With The President” initiative. Well, Charlie, you have a witness. I stand in absolute support and solidarity with your request on behalf of the victim’s family members, and in the names of those we lost on 9/11 and those who have been murdered in its aftermath, for you to be granted 20 minutes to present your 20 questions to President Obama. It thus bears repeating (from my previous essay):
“This above all else is President Obama’s litmus test of integrity and the quintessence of this nation’s hope for change. For if 9/11 was in fact an inside job, then it places all of the evils that flowed from and followed that event into vivid contextual focus. Bogus claims of executive privilege should offer no protection to those towards whom the preponderance of evidence points; chips fall where they may.”
If our President can find the time to comment on Kanye West’s bad behavior at the MTV Video Music Awards, then I think it is reasonable to assume that he should find the time to listen to Charlie Sheen and provide a thoughtful response to his questions. And why not? These questions are shared not only by millions around the world but also by officers from within the military of which he serves as Commander In Chief, as well as by esteemed members of the counter-terror and intelligence community upon whom he presumably depends for “actionable” information. Furthermore, over half of the 911 Commissions’ own members have defected from their endorsement of the “official report,” stating that they were set up to fail in their efforts and that there was agreement not to tell the truth. Charlie voted for President Obama based upon what he promised to be for America. Is he not the candidate of hope and change? Did he not extol the virtues of greater governmental transparency and accountability? Well when it comes to taking an honest look at the questions surrounding 9/11 (and a host of other vital issues), it seems that that is change we can’t believe in. No we can’t. This is made all the more apparent by the corporate media’s preposterous (if predictable) response to the fact-based questions presented in Sheen’s letter. It is not hyperbole to state that their utterly unethical and shamelessly anti-democratic bias in covering 9/11 dissent (or in this case, the mere posing of valid questions) is a case study in moral treason. Charlie Sheen has provided for us a “teachable moment” wherein the boot-licking corporate media have once again shown us by their lock-step subservience to the establishment, that they are far more committed to binding debate and covering up the truth than they are to exposing it. Oh, American “free-press,” where is thy blush indeed?
Between the silence of the White House and the violence of its lap-dog slave-press, the essential response to each of Charlie’s 20 bullet points has been something to the effect of “You must have a trick gene. Popular Mechanics! You are an actor. Popular Mechanics! You have a past that has nothing to do with the facts at hand, so lets talk about that instead. Popular Mechanics! Asking questions about things which we have agreed not to tell the truth about, makes you a holocaust denier and a Nazi propagandist. You are hurting people’s feelings by asking hard questions with the aim of uncovering the truth. Uh…Popular Mechanics!” If you are a person of influence with a platform of public visibility, I urge you to read Charlie Sheen’s letter to President Obama. Fact check the bibliographic references which support the document. If even one of his 20 bullet points leaves you with a sliver of doubt as to whether we have been misled about 9/11, then please stand up and be counted. Force the media’s attention onto the experts whose public statements and research they have refused to acknowledge. As evidenced by New York State’s silencing of 80,000 petitioners calling for a new 9/11 investigation, a tremendous amount of energy is being expended in order to avoid the injection of this topic into the arena of public debate. Without your support, the victim’s family members may never find out why. Don’t let Charlie go it alone. Support his call for answers and accountability. Be on the right side of history.
