Top 5 Lies About Israel’s Assault on Gaza

Jeremy R. Hammond
Foreign Policy Journal
January 3, 2008

Lie #1) Israel is only targeting legitimate military sites and is seeking to protect innocent lives. Israel never targets civilians.

The Gaza Strip is one of the most densely populated pieces of property in the world. The presence of militants within a civilian population does not, under international law, deprive that population of their protected status, and hence any assault upon that population under the guise of targeting militants is, in fact, a war crime.

Moreover, the people Israel claims are legitimate targets are members of Hamas, which Israel says is a terrorist organization. Hamas has been responsible for firing rockets into Israel. These rockets are extremely inaccurate and thus, even if Hamas intended to hit military targets within Israel, are indiscriminate by nature. When rockets from Gaza kill Israeli civilians, it is a war crime.

	Karen Abuzayd of the United Nations Relief & Works Agency admits that it was Israel that violated the truce, not Hamas.

Hamas has a military wing. However, it is not entirely a military organization, but a political one. Members of Hamas are the democratically elected representatives of the Palestinian people. Dozens of these elected leaders have been kidnapped and held in Israeli prisons without charge. Others have been targeted for assassination, such as Nizar Rayan, a top Hamas official. To kill Rayan, Israel targeted a residential apartment building. The strike not only killed Rayan but two of his wives and four of his children, along with six others. There is no justification for such an attack under international law. This was a war crime.

Other of Israel’s bombardment with protected status under international law have included a mosque, a prison, police stations, and a university, in addition to residential buildings.

Moreover, Israel has long held Gaza under siege, allowing only the most minimal amounts of humanitarian supplies to enter. Israel is bombing and killing Palestinian civilians. Countless more have been wounded, and cannot receive medical attention. Hospitals running on generators have little or no fuel. Doctors have no proper equipment or medical supplies to treat the injured. These people, too, are the victims of Israeli policies targeted not at Hamas or legitimate military targets, but directly designed to punish the civilian population.

Lie #2) Hamas violated the cease-fire. The Israeli bombardment is a response to Palestinian rocket fire and is designed to end such rocket attacks.

Israel never observed the cease-fire to begin with. From the beginning, it announced a “special security zone” within the Gaza Strip and announced that Palestinians who enter this zone will be fired upon. In other words, Israel announced its intention that Israeli soldiers would shoot at farmers and other individuals attempting to reach their own land in direct violation of not only the cease-fire but international law.

Despite shooting incidents, including ones resulting in Palestinians getting injured, Hamas still held to the cease-fire from the time it went into effect on June 19 until Israel effectively ended the truce on November 4 by launching an airstrike into Gaza that killed five and injured several others.

Israel’s violation of the cease-fire predictably resulted in retaliation from militants in Gaza who fired rockets into Israel in response. The increased barrage of rocket fire at the end of December is being used as justification for the continued Israeli bombardment, but is a direct response by militants to the Israeli attacks.

Israel’s actions, including its violation of the cease-fire, predictably resulted in an escalation of rocket attacks against its own population.

Lie #3) Hamas is using human shields, a war crime.

There has been no evidence that Hamas has used human shields. The fact is, as previously noted, Gaza is a small piece of property that is densely populated. Israel engages in indiscriminate warfare such as the assassination of Nizar Rayan, in which members of his family were also murdered. It is victims like his dead children that Israel defines as “human shields” in its propaganda. There is no legitimacy for this interpretation under international law. In circumstances such as these, Hamas is not using human shields, Israel is committing war crimes in violation of the Geneva Conventions and other applicable international law.

Lie #4) Arab nations have not condemned Israel’s actions because they understand Israel’s justification for its assault.

The populations of those Arab countries are outraged at Israel’s actions and at their own governments for not condemning Israel’s assault and acting to end the violence. Simply stated, the Arab governments do not represent their respective Arab populations. The populations of the Arab nations have staged mass protests in opposition to not only Israel’s actions but also the inaction of their own governments and what they view as either complacency or complicity in Israel’s crimes.

Moreover, the refusal of Arab nations to take action to come to the aid of the Palestinians is not because they agree with Israel’s actions, but because they are submissive to the will of the US, which fully supports Israel. Egypt, for instance, which refused to open the border to allow Palestinians wounded in the attacks to get medical treatment in Egyptian hospitals, is heavily dependent upon US aid, and is being widely criticized within the population of the Arab countries for what is viewed as an absolute betrayal of the Gaza Palestinians.

Even Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has been regarded as a traitor to his own people for blaming Hamas for the suffering of the people of Gaza. Palestinians are also well aware of Abbas’ past perceived betrayals in conniving with Israel and the US to sideline the democratically elected Hamas government, culminating in a counter-coup by Hamas in which it expelled Fatah (the military wing of Abbas’ Palestine Authority) from the Gaza Strip. While his apparent goal was to weaken Hamas and strengthen his own position, the Palestinians and other Arabs in the Middle East are so outraged at Abbas that it is unlikely he will be able to govern effectively.

Lie #5) Israel is not responsible for civilian deaths because it warned the Palestinians of Gaza to flee areas that might be targeted.

Israel claims it sent radio and telephone text messages to residents of Gaza warning them to flee from the coming bombardment. But the people of Gaza have nowhere to flee to. They are trapped within the Gaza Strip. It is by Israeli design that they cannot escape across the border. It is by Israeli design that they have no food, water, or fuel by which to survive. It is by Israeli design that hospitals in Gaza have no electricity and few medical supplies with which to treat the injured and save lives. And Israel has bombed vast areas of Gaza, targeting civilian infrastructure and other sites with protected status under international law. No place is safe within the Gaza Strip.

Anger, sadness over fabricated Holocaust story

By HILLEL ITALIE, AP National Writer Hillel Italie, Ap National Writer – 2 hrs 58 mins ago

AP – In this Sept. 25, 2008 file photo, Herman and Roma Rosenblat pose for a photo in their North Miami Beach, …

NEW YORK – It’s the latest story that touched, and betrayed, the world.

“Herman Rosenblat and his wife are the most gentle, loving, beautiful people,” literary agent Andrea Hurst said Sunday, anguishing over why she, and so many others, were taken by Rosenblat’s story of love born on opposite sides of a barbed-wire fence at a concentration camp.

“I question why I never questioned it. I believed it; it was an incredible, hope-filled story.”

On Saturday, Berkley Books canceled Rosenblat’s memoir, “Angel at the Fence.” Rosenblat acknowledged that he and his wife did not meet, as they had said for years, at a sub-camp of Buchenwald, where she allegedly sneaked him apples and bread. The book was supposed to come out in February.

Rosenblat, 79, has been married to the former Roma Radzicky for 50 years, since meeting her on a blind date in New York. In a statement issued Saturday through his agent, he described himself as an advocate of love and tolerance who falsified his past to better spread his message.

“I wanted to bring happiness to people,” said Rosenblat, who now lives in the Miami area. “I brought hope to a lot of people. My motivation was to make good in this world.”

Rosenblat’s believers included not only his agent and his publisher, but Oprah Winfrey, film producers, journalists, family members and strangers who ignored, or didn’t know about, the warnings from scholars that his story didn’t make sense.

Other Holocaust memoirists have devised greater fantasies. Misha Defonseca, author of “Misha: A Memoire of the Holocaust Years,” pretended she was a Jewish girl who lived with wolves during the war, when she was actually a non-Jew who lived, without wolves, in Belgium.

Historical records prove Rosenblat was indeed at Buchenwald and other camps.

“How sad that he felt he had to embellish a life of surviving the Holocaust and of being married for half a century,” said Holocaust scholar Michael Berenbaum.

The damage is broad. Publishing, the most trusting of industries, has again been burned by a memoir that fact-checking might have prevented. Berkley is an imprint of Penguin Group (USA), which in March pulled Margaret B. Jones’ “Love and Consequences” after the author acknowledged she had invented her story of gang life in Los Angeles. Winfrey fell, as she did with James Frey, for a narrative of suffering and redemption better suited for television than for history.

The damage is deep. Scholars and other skeptics as well as fellow survivors fear that Rosenblat’s fabrications will only encourage doubts about the Holocaust.

“I am very worried because many of us speak to thousands of student each year,” says Sidney Finkel, a longtime friend of Rosenblat’s and a fellow survivor. “We go before audiences. We tell them a story and now some people will question what I experienced.”

“This was not Holocaust education but miseducation,” Ken Waltzer, director of Jewish Studies at Michigan State University, said in a statement.

“Holocaust experience is not heartwarming, it is heart rending. All this shows something about the broad unwillingness in our culture to confront the difficult knowledge of the Holocaust,” Waltzer said. “All the more important then to have real memoirs that tell of real experience in the camps.”

Among the fooled, at least the partially fooled, was Berenbaum, former director of the United States Holocaust Research Institute at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington. Berenbaum had been asked to read the manuscript by film producer Harris Salomon, who still plans an adaptation of the book.

Berenbaum’s tentative support — “Crazier things have happened,” he told The Associated Press last fall — was cited by the publisher as it initially defended the book. Berenbaum now says he saw factual errors, including Rosenblat’s description of Theresienstadt, the camp from which he was eventually liberated, but didn’t think of challenging the love story.

“There’s a limit to what I can verify, because I was not there,” he says. “I can verify the general historical narrative, but in my research I rely upon the survivors to present the specifics of their existence with integrity. When they don’t, they destroy so much and they ruin so much, and that’s terrible.”

“I was burned,” he added. “And I have to read books more skeptically because I was burned.”

How the CIA and Military Control the Music Industry

by Wes Penre 

When everything else in the world seems to be upside down, at least we can find our comfort in rock music, by listening to our old heroes, who truly know what the world is about and how to rebel against it.

At least this is what we are led to believe.

As I write this, it’s been ten years since I published my first article on the Internet and at the same time established the “Illuminati News Website”. Although it has been a challenge and I have had wonderful, and not so wonderful, responses over the years, there is one subject I have brought up that has caused more upsets and uproar than any other, and that is the exposure of the music industry, to which I havededicated a whole section. It is a holy cow, indeed.

Of course, most people who are blues and rock’n'roll fans have heard about Robert Johnson and how he sold his soul to the Devil at the Crossroads in exchange for brilliant musical skills. Whether this is a myth or if it’s true, I leave for you to decide, but strange things are happening behind the scenes in the Music Industry and unfortunately, the rock stars most of us have worshipped are not always what we thought they were. Although the Robert Johnson story could be a myth, he is not the only one claiming to have sold his soul to the Devil for fame and fortune. There are quite a few admitting to the same thing, where Bob Dylan is one of them as we shall see later in this article.
 

 

The Music Industry as a Propaganda Machine

 First of all, before we start putting the pieces together, we need to dissolve the myth that the Music Industry has our best interests in mind. By now, more and more people become aware of that this world is to a major degree controlled by a secret cabal we call the Illuminati, a Shadow Government if you will, who wants to create a New World Order and a One World Government. They have already taken over a big part of world politics, business, education and religious movements. This fact is accepted by many, because the evidence is overwhelming, so why would this cabal, who wants total control and the ability to take over our minds and thinking processes, leave the film and music industries alone?

 

Put yourself in these people’s shoes and you will understand what I’m talking about. If I were them, the music and film industries would be two of the first things I wanted to control. Why? Because here you have a golden opportunity to influence the masses and lead them in any direction you want. All you need to do is to create super heroes (Gods) that people can look up to and follow. Although Bob Dylan sings in “Subterranean Homesick Blues” in 1965,

 

“Don’t follow leaders
Watch the Parking Meters”

 

he must have known pretty well that although they are true, these are just empty words. By writing those lines, his audience would be even more attached to him and he would really create followers. So it’s a contradiction. 

We see a similar phenomenon when Black Sabbath is singing about how we should fear the Devil and cry to God for help. How come then they are not creating a Christian fellowship, but instead it has the opposite effect? It is because they are actually leading the audience into violence and darkness by tuning down the guitars to lower vibrations, turning up the volume to maximum and repeating hypnotic riffs over and over again. What stays in people’s minds is not that we should turn to God, but that Black Sabbath is singing about the Devil and demon possession and it’s cool. People start getting interested in mysticism and occultism instead. It’s mind control, my friends. But it’s not just the audience that is mind controlled, so are many of the artists as well, which brings me to the real purpose of this article – to expose who is pulling the strings on the artists and ultimately – us!

 

Military and Intelligence Connection

 It’s public knowledge now, due to the “Freedom of Information Act”, that MK ULTRA mind control is the real deal and that psychiatrists working for the CIA used sophisticated mind control techniques on people who had no wish to participate[]. This destroyed the lives of the victims and many of them died as a result of the experiments. The government created Manchurian Candidates to use in the Cold War, but also as political assassins in general. However, we are told that these experiments stopped some time in the 1970s and are now just another dark chapter in American history. Victims and researchers are telling us different, though. These experiments have continued up to this day, but under other code names and are now even more sophisticated. The Illuminati scientists are very knowledgeable about how the human mind works and understand how to manipulate it.

These mind control techniques are what has been used in the music industry and are still used today in Grunge, Gangsta Rap, Hip Hop or any new genre. Same old techniques with new labels…

David McGowan, a brilliant researcher, is in the process of publishing a very detailed and lengthy series of articles called “Inside The LC: The Strange but Mostly True Story of Laurel Canyon and the Birth of the Hippie Generation”, and the first twelve parts are published here on the Illuminati News Website and the rest will be published as soon as David has finished them. It is an amazing body of research, where he effectively is pointing out the fact that more often than not, the top artists within the music and film industries, their managers and producers have military and/or military intelligence connections. Many are also involved in organized crime, drug dealing, murder, prostitution, child pornography, snuff movies and black magic. Here are a few examples of musicians from the hippie era, who have family ties to people within the U.S. Military:

Jim Morrison of “The Doors”: His father was the U.S. Navy Admiral George Stephen Morrison[]. Jim was more or less brought up on military bases and abused by his father.

Frank Zappa: Son of Francis Zappa, a mathematician and a chemist, working for the U.S. defense industry[]. Frank himself, although one of those who was in the frontline of creating the Hippie Movement, never made it a secret that he had nothing but contempt for this culture. He was also a great supporter of the Vietnam War[]. Frank was married to Adelaide Gail Sloatman, who comes from a “long line of career Naval officers, including her father, who spent his life working on classified nuclear weapons research for the U.S. Navy. Gail herself had once worked as a secretary for the Office of Naval Research and Development (she also once told an interviewer that she had “heard voices all [her] life”). Many years before their nearly simultaneous arrival in Laurel Canyon, Gail had attended a Naval kindergarten with “Mr. ‘Mojo Risin’” himself, Jim Morrison (it is claimed that, as children, Gail once hit Jim over the head with a hammer). The very same Jim Morrison had later attended the same Alexandria, Virginia high school as two other future Laurel Canyon luminaries – John Phillips and Cass Elliott.”[].

“Papa” John Phillips of “The Mamas and the Papas”: Son of  a retired Marine Corps officer (Captain Claude Andrew Phillips)[]. “John attended a series of elite military prep schools in the Washington, D.C. area, culminating in an appointment to the prestigious U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis…John married Susie Adams, a direct descendant of ‘Founding Father’ John Adams. Susie’s father, James Adams, Jr., had been involved in what Susie described as “cloak-and-dagger stuff with the Air Force in Vienna,” or what we like to call covert intelligence operations. Susie herself would later find employment at the Pentagon, alongside John Phillip’s older sister, Rosie, who dutifully reported to work at the complex for nearly thirty years. John’s mother, ‘Dene’ Phillips, also worked for most of her life for the federal government in some unspecified capacity.”[]

Stephen Stills of “Buffalo Springfield” and “Crosby, Stills, Nash (and Young): Born to a Military family[]. Stills was educated primarily at schools on military bases and at elite military academies.[]

David Crosby of “The Byrds” and “Crosby, Stills, Nash (and Young)”: “…the son of an Annapolis graduate and WW II military intelligence officer, Major Floyd Delafield Crosby. Like others in this story, Floyd Crosby spent much of his post-service time traveling the world. Those travels landed him in places like Haiti, where he paid a visit in 1927, when the country just happened to be, coincidentally of course, under military occupation by the U.S. Marines. One of the Marines doing that occupying was a guy that we met earlier by the name of Captain Claude Andrew Phillips”[] (father of “Papa” John Phillips. Small world, Wes Penre’s comment).

“Suffice it to say that the Crosby family tree includes a truly dizzying array of US senators and congressmen, state senators and assemblymen, governors, mayors, judges, Supreme Court justices, Revolutionary and Civil War generals, signers of the Declaration of Independence, and members of the Continental Congress. It also includes, I should hasten to add – for those of you with a taste for such things – more than a few high-ranking Masons. Stephen Van Rensselaer III, for example, reportedly served as Grand Master of Masons for New York. And if all that isn’t impressive enough, according to the New England Genealogical Society, David Van Cortlandt Crosby is also a direct descendant of ‘Founding Fathers’ and Federalist Papers’ authors Alexander Hamilton and John Jay.”[]

Jackson Browne: “…the product of a career military family. Browne’s father was assigned to post-war ‘reconstruction’ work in Germany, which very likely means that he was in the employ of the OSS, precursor to the CIA. As readers of my “Understanding the F-Word” may recall, U.S. involvement in post-war reconstruction in Germany largely consisted of maintaining as much of the Nazi infrastructure as possible while shielding war criminals from capture and prosecution. Against that backdrop, Jackson Browne was born in a military hospital in Heidelberg, Germany.”[]

 

Gram Parsons of “The Flying Burrito Brothers”: “…was the son of Major Cecil Ingram “Coon Dog” Connor II, a decorated military officer and bomber pilot who reportedly flew over 50 combat missions.”[]

Jimi Hendrix of “The Jimi Hendrix Experience”: “Hendrix was born on November 27, 1942, in Seattle, Washington, USA, while his father was stationed at an Army base in Oklahoma.”[]

Michael Jeffrey, Jimi Hendrix’ Manager: Michael Jeffrey admitted to being an Intelligence Agent. Information was uncovered by Hendrix’ biographers Harry Shapiro and Caesar Glebeek in their book, “Jimi Hendrix: Electric Gypsy; from rock historian R. Gary Patterson in his book, Hellbounds on Their Trail: Tales from the Rock ‘n’ Roll Graveyard”[]; and from John McDermott and Eddie Kramer in their book, “Hendrix: Setting the Record Straight“[]. The following is a summary of their collective findings:
 
* Jeffrey often boasted of “undercover work against the Russians, or murder, mayhem and torture in foreign countries.” Jeffrey’s father said his son had been stationed in Egypt years earlier and could speak Russian. 

* Friends of Hendrix suspected Jeffrey was crooked and they (the friends) confiscated documents from his office which indicated he was embezzling large amounts of money from Jimi’s concert performances. The friends gave the documents to Hendrix, who reportedly took legal actions to recover the embezzled money. 

* In July 1970, two months before his death, Hendrix broke all communications with Jeffrey. At that time, Hendrix told film director Chuck Wein: “The next time I go to Seattle will be in a pine box.”89
 
* Two days after Hendrix’s death, Michael Jeffrey confessed to recording engineer Alan Douglas that he was involved in the murder. “In my opinion,” Douglas reportedly stated, “Jeffrey hated Hendrix”.

Joni Mitchell: “…her father [Bill Anderson] [was] an officer in the Royal Canadian Air Force. During the war years, she moved with her parents to a number of bases in western Canada.”[]

“Colonel” Tom Parker, Elvis Presley’s Manager: “…at about the age of 20 [he] joined the United States Army, despite the fact he was not a U.S. citizen [he was Dutch and his real name was Andreas Cornelis (Dries) van Kuijk, Wes Penre's comment]. Van Kuijk was stationed in Hawaii, at a base commanded by a Captain Tom Parker. After leaving the service, van Kuijk adopted the name Tom Parker.[]

All these military connections are hardly coincidences. I strongly recommend that you read the whole series of articles by David McGowan. It is stunning to learn that all these people mentioned above (except Col. Tom Parker) moved approximately at the same time to Laurel Canyon in California, without knowing each other beforehand (at least that’s what we are supposed to believe), and there they started the Hippie Movement together. And here is the key: they all had military connections!

For us who used to believe that the Hippie Movement was a grass root movement against the Vietnam War and authority better think again. David shows us without any doubt that the Hippie Culture which started out in Laurel Canyon, California, had shady origins to say the least, and corruption, crime, murder and you name it followed in its trail and was part of the daily life of the so-called “peace movement”.

 

Mind Control, Occultism, and Satanism in Rock Music

 

 

Occultism and science go hand in hand and one wouldn’t do well without the other. There are several excellent books written on the subject of occultism and Satanism, among which Fritz Springmeier’s and Cisco Wheeler’s, “The Illuminati Formula Used to Create an Undetectable Total Mind Controlled Slave”[] is perhaps one of the better in the genre. In this book, among other things, they mention that the music industry (and the Country Music Industry in particular) is loaded with artists who work as mind control programmers, and many of the musicians are mind control slaves with split personalities, themselves victims of MK ULTRA mind control. They mention among others Kris Kristofferson, Jerry Lee Lewis, Glen Campbell, and Willie Nelson as being programmers, working for the Illuminati. The Country Music Industry is nothing but a front for secret Illuminati drug smuggling, according to Fritz Springmeier, Cisco Wheeler, former Illuminati mind controlled slave Cathy O’Brien, and other victims of MK ULTRA.

 

In Monarch Programming [an MK ULTRA offspring] the use of mirrors is a basic, important tool  to make split multiple personalities. This may sound esoteric and unbelievable to those who are not at all familiar with the techniques, but after reading Springmeier’s and Wheeler’s book, the following becomes much clearer:

The “mental mirrors”, which are programmed into the victim, create thousands of alters (artificial personalities), which can then be programmed in whatever way the Illuminati programmer wants. It’s very similar to partitioning a computer hard drive into hundreds, (sometimes even thousands) of partitions and fill each partition with whatever information you want. When opening one of the hard drive partitions, you can access what is in there, but the specific section of the hard drive “doesn’t know” what the other sections contain. When the mind is split, the handler and/or the programmer can then make any partition in the brain the “active” one, which means the personality which is programmed into that partition will be the main personality. By using trigger words or codes embedded into the program, the programmer/handler can then switch between the pre-programmed personalities of the victim and bring forth a totally different character, setting that one as “active”.

This is very useful if you for example want to create a public person who is an excellent entertainer with a gentle personality as a front, someone who appears to be a balanced family person, and then by using trigger words he/she can change into a cold-blooded killer, a drug dealer, a spy or whatever you want to use him for. No one would have suspected this person, because whatever criminal act he/she is programmed to do, it’s literally “out of character”. And just like the example with the hard drive, the victim himself is often not aware of his different personalities and often doesn’t even remember the crime he committed.

 

Here are some more excerpts from Springmeier/Wheeler’s book in regards to mirrors: 

“The child must learn to match identical items very early–even before they can speak. This is so they will be able to build mirror images into their mind. All the senses are trained for building the mirror images; for instance such as silks and cottons can be used for the sense of touch” Chapter 1 page 12. “The elements that make up who a person is–i.e. personality elements such as memories, are fractured. These fragments have in turn often been built up into full-blown personalities with all the elements of full-blown personalities. There is no “real” person, just as if you smash a mirror into a thousand pieces, there is no single piece that is the “real” original mirror but rather simply fragments that can in turn operate as mirrors. 

However, there is still a primal self. Early splits are led to believe they are the core” Chapter 1 page 28. “Children are set in front of circus mirrors that make them taller or smaller for programming. They are set in front of mirrors which duplicate their image.” Chapter 4 page 64. “pg. 90 Book 3 Ozma of Oz, “Princess Langwidere’s sitting-room was paneled with great mirrors, which reached from the ceiling to the floor; also the ceiling was composed of mirrors, and the floor was of polished silver that reflected every object upon it. So when Langwidere sat in her easy chair and played soft melodies upon her mandolin, her form was mirrored hundreds of times, in walls, and ceilings and floor, and whichever way…” This is the mirror programming that has been done to so many victims! Chapter 5 page 112. “Mirrors, and lots of them, are important in occult programming because they make images. They create so many internal images one doesn’t know which way to go “  [Chapter 10]. 

The following format the words in italic are direct quotes from Lena Pepitone’s book which is entitled Marilyn Monroe Confidential An Intimate Personal Account, NY: Simon & Schuster, 1979. · p.16- “Floor-to-ceiling mirrors were everywhere. Even the dining alcove at the rear of the living room had a table with a mirrored top. All these mirrors didn’t cheer things up.” In programming Monarch slaves, mirrors are used a great deal. Within the Monarch slave’s mind, countless mirror images are made. The slave sees thousands of mirrors everywhere in their mind. Because Marilyn was so stripped of any personal identity, she decorated her house as her mind looked on the inside–full of mirrors. Although other Monarchs may have some desires to decorate with mirrors, Marilyn is the most extreme case I know of filling one’s house full of mirrors”  [Chapter 12].

 

 

With this in mind, it’s interesting to read the lyrics from the song called “Room full of mirrors” by Jimi Hendrix. The lyrics go:

 

 

“I USED TO LIVE IN A ROOM FULL OF MIRRORS
ALL I COULD SEE WAS ME 
WELL I TOOK MY SPIRIT AND I CRASHED MY MIRRORS 
NOW THE WHOLE WORLD IS HERE FOR ME TO SEE 
I’VE GOT A WHOLE WORLD THAT’S HERE FOR ME TO SEE 
NOW I’M SEARCHING FOR MY LOVE TO BE 

BROKEN GLASS WAS FALLING IN MY BRAIN 
CUTTIN’ AND SCREAMIN’ AND CRYING IN MY HEAD 
BROKEN GLASS WAS FALLING IN MY BRAIN 
IT USED TO FALL ON MY DREAMS AND CUT ME IN MY BED 
IT USED TO FALL ON MY DREAMS AND CUT ME IN MY BED 
I SAID MAKING LOVE WAS STRANGE IN MY BED”

 

The book (and movie) “The Wizard of Oz” is used in Illuminati mind control on a regular basis; this has been confirmed by many mind control survivors. Therefore it is interesting to note that Pink Floyd’s incredibly successful album, “The Dark Side Of The Moon”[] from 1973 seems to be tightly connected to “The Wizard of Oz” movie from 1939 in an interesting way, possibly to trigger mind control survivors. Here is a quote from Wikipedia:

 

“When the album is played simultaneously with the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, numerous images from the film appear to synchronise with the music and lyrics. Band members firmly state the phenomenon, dubbed “Dark Side of the Rainbow” or “Dark Side of Oz” by fans, is a coincidence.”[]

Jim Morrison, the lead singer in “The Doors”, who died from a heart attack at the age of 27, admitted to being possessed, and his band members, interviewed after his death, acknowledged the fact and that they themselves noticed this, especially when they played on stage. Jim was convinced he was possessed by the spirit of a dead shaman, who also was his musical guide and from whom he got his charisma. Whether this entity was actually what possessed him or not is up for debate, but there is no doubt that Jim was possessed by something. It shows clearly inthis video clip. After Jim left The Doors, he claimed that the shaman had left him and he was “alone with himself”, which made him very lost and confused. He complained that his charisma and musical drive was gone due to that the shaman had left his body.

Bob Dylan, Jewish singer, composer and poet, is perhaps one of our most admired artists now living. Though he supposedly converted to Christianity in the late 70s, he has been dedicated to the Jewish Mystery Religions and the occult most of his career. His “Christian Period” may very well have been sincere, but he is once again back where he started and his logo is that of Jewish Freemasonry and Egyptian Mystery Cults, as we can see here:

 Another thing about Dylan, which I find quite interesting, is from an interview with Ed Bradley on “60 Minutes”, around the time when Dylan released the first volume of his book, the trilogy: “Chronicles”. I happened to watch it on video.google, more or less by accident (the video clip has since then been removed). Here Dylan suggests he made a bargain with the Devil. This is how the story goes:

Ed Bradley, in the beginning of the interview, asks Dylan how he could write such incredible songs in the 60s. Dylan replies that he really doesn’t know; that they were “magically written”, and that he can’t write songs like that anymore. He also tells Bradley that he felt pretty early in his life that he had a certain “destiny” that he had to keep silent about. By the end of the interview, about 14 minutes and 50 seconds into it, Bradley asks:

- Why do you still do it…why are you still out here?

Dylan replies: – Well, it goes back to that destiny thing. I made a bargain with the…(here Dylan catches himself and doesn’t complete the sentence. He continues): You know, a long time ago and…I’m…holding up my end…

Bradley: – What was your bargain?

Dylan: – To get where…ah…I am now.

Bradley (smiling): – Should I ask whom you made the bargain with?

Dylan (nervously smiling and stuttering) – With…with…with…yeah, with the Chief…eh…the Chief Commander…

Bradley: – Of this Earth??? (which is the Devil)

Dylan: – Uhm…of…of this Earth and the world we can’t see (Dylan’s smile and nervous laughter is shifting back to the melancholy sadness that has been his only expression throughout the whole interview up until Bradley asks about the Devil).

 

One important thing to remember, though, is that not all artists and musicians are mind controlled, and some don’t know anything about what is really going on in the business. Besides that some parts of the industry don’t make much sense, they just write it off as oddities. In fact, you don’t need to put everybody under mind control to accomplish your goal. As long as the trend makers are either controlled or “one of them” by free will, the rest will follow. When a new trend is created by one or a few artists, more artists will start creating similar kind of music, and the snowball is rolling. The ones who follow often do so without any knowledge of what’s going on behind the scenes; they are just milk cows to the Industry.

 

The Origins of Rock Music

 Most people think that rock music started in the 1950s and was a new musical invention. In fact, rock music is an ancient music form, originating from the old Mystery Religions:

 

“Since the launching of the Beatles as an international project via TV in 1963, “rock” has been the most influential recruiter to Satanism. Rock was created, and is still coordinated by Crowley’s followers and by the OTO network, in cooperation with WICCA. It is, not so incidentally, also the Satanist’s biggest money-maker, and believed to provide the chief logistical support for deployments and other activities of the OTO-WICCA efforts world-wide. 

There is nothing spontaneous or accidental about “rock.” It is a product of classical studies of the ancient Phrygian terrorist cult of Satan-Dionysos, the model for the Roman Bacchic cults of similar characteristics. Crowley’s control of the “rock industry” has been documented by a team of [private] investigators, who have also noted, that in addition to the Satanist lyrics, Satanist messages embedded sublimely in rock recordings are a key feature of this subversive operation. 

The “rock rhythm” itself is copied from the old Dionysian-Bacchic cults. Even without the drugs and sexual orgies which are characteristic features of hard-core rock affairs, repeated, frequent, hours-long exposure to constant repetition of “rock rhythms” produces lasting, drug-like effects on the mind of the victim. Reducing sexual practices to the level of bestiality, is a crucial feature of Satanism in all historical periods studied, from Phrygian Cybele-Dionysos cult-period onward.”[]

 

 

 

Aleister Crowley (with the same occult symbol in the middle of the pyramid as on Bob Dylan’s logo above)

For those unfamiliar with Aleister Crowley mentioned in the quote above, he was a Freemason, a magician, an occultist and the Grand Master of the OTO (Ordo Templi Orientis), which is an occult order, based on the teaching of the old Egyptian and Eastern Mystery Religions, still alive and practiced in today’s society, often by people in high positions inside business, politics and entertainment. Many rock musicians, such as Jimmy Page and John Bonham (deceased) in former Led Zeppelin, Sting, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Ozzy Osbourne, The Eagles, David Bowie and The Doors, to name a few, see Crowley as their mentor and spiritual guide. Jimmy Page has one of the largest collections of Crowley’s books in the world and even bought his property by Lake Lochness in Scotland. Crowley named himself “The Beast 666″, which is Satan’s number.[]

Gavin Baddeley[], another Crowley student, is the head of Church of Satan in Great Britain, and the author of the book, “Lucifer Rising: Sin, Devil Worship, and Rock’n'Roll”[]. This is actually an excellent resource if you really want to know what the music industry is all about. In the book he is interviewing artists that are overtly and covertly satanic, many of them also admitting to being members of the Church of Satan, which makes shocking reading. The book definitely kills the myth that occultism and Satanism in rock music is just a gimmick; it’s the real thing. The information comes directly from the horse’s mouth.

 

The Destruction of Fine Art

 

Years ago, I believe in the 1990s, there was a documentary on Television about a famous young New York “painter”, who sat in a bar with a reporter, bragging over his art, drinking whisky like water. Then he showed the reporter his art gallery. Well in there, you could see about twenty painters creating paintings like if it was in a factory. Ten, maybe twenty unfinished canvases were lined up against the wall, and the painters walked from painting to paining, back and forth, and added something new to each one. Our famous, bragging “painter phenomenon” with the whisky glass looked at the finished paintings and either accepted or rejected them. Then he put HIS signature on them, although he never even used one brush stroke on any of them. Later he sold a painting for around $800,000.00. The real painters, who had created his work, were nothing more than slave labor and were poorly paid. 

This is the effect of the OTO-connected Andy Warhol, who finally destroyed fine art in the 60’s with his so called pop-art. He said in an interview something to the effect that “fine art is dead – this is the art of the New Era” (referring to his own pop-art). An act of rebellion or an act with a purpose to degrade art like they’ve done with music? Warhol was a big puppet for the Illuminati Elite; by degrading the art we also degrade the human spirit.

Picasso once said that to be able to create a good “alternative” art form and even abstract art, you basically must be an excellent traditional painter first. He was right, and if you look at his early work, you can see that he was mastering traditional painting before he changed styles into what he became famous for. But his wise words now seem to be forgotten.

 

Put in Perspective

 

In the beginning of this article we talked about Hollywood and the Music Industry as propaganda machines, which is exactly what they are. Entertainment – yes, but with a specific message. You may say that of course there are rock groups that are overtly Satanic and destructive, but there are also artists that are gentle, writing beautiful songs about love and harmony. How can they possibly be part of the Agenda? But they are, often without their knowledge. This is how it works, in a nutshell:

The Illuminati works with the principles of Yin and Yang. There has to be a balance; that’s why many of them also are philanthropists to counter the negativity they are involved in. If all music was dark and Satanic in its nature, most people would reject it. There has to be music for everybody, but they also know that where you put your intention and your energy, that’s where you get results. And if you watch Hollywood movies and listen to the lyrics of your music heroes and are knowledgeable about the occult and the Illuminati Agenda, you will soon discover how much occult symbolism and covert promotion for a World Government and a unity of all people and races into one united world there is in the context. There is nothing wrong with being united, and many people embrace it, such as the New Age Movement (another culture created by the Illuminati). However, they don’t know what uniting means in this case and what the end product will be. They only know that their heroes are singing about love and unity and it sounds like a good thing. The Power Elite is not stupid, they know how the human mind works.

This is how art, music and film are intertwined with the New World Order Agenda:

1. Let’s say that the Illuminati is ready to move on to the next level of control over the world and they need to indoctrinate people in a new way to have their support. Much of the planning is political and financial in nature and is happening behind the scenes, but two of their most powerful instruments are Hollywood and the Music Industry, because that is where they can reach the masses. So they are deciding to set a new trend to promote their latest strategy.

2. They use mind controlled people (musicians/actors/producers etc.) and other greedy artists, who have sworn obedience to the cause to set this trend, in exchange for wealth, drugs, groupies and/or whatever they want, in order to be satisfied. Those controlled artists and actors are heavily promoted with techniques learnt from Nazi Germany, which developed the most extraordinary techniques to manipulate the masses that this world has ever seen. L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, confessed to his disciples in writing that he used Goebbels’ Propaganda Machine to get people into the cult (and keep them there). The Illuminati have no problems promoting whatever they want, and have people respond like they want them to.

3. The “trend-makers” set the direction for the new trends, and people will start worshipping those new idols.

4. Other (often more talented) musicians follow up on that trend and create their own version of the new idea. Those musicians also get contracts with the Record Companies, and can be ordinary people like you and I, who have never been tampered with in mind control programs like MK ULTRA and Project Monarch. Those musicians (and actors) don’t have to be severely mind controlled to unwittingly help out with the Agenda of the Elite. They just jump on the same bandwagon as the trend-makers, and the snowball is starting to roll. Thus, the Illuminati, who basically invented the trend, can sit back and watch. We, the citizens, are doing the rest for them. And of course, there is a financial aspect to it as well; whatever it takes to make an extra buck. Thus, they also sign up artists they know will probably only have one hit and then they throw them out.

5. Other gifted musicians and actors, who are creating art that goes outside the Agenda – or against it – have little chance to get their message out broadly, because nobody at the top of the Industry (where the money is) is willing to promote them. It is the same pattern as within politics. Only those who are promoted by the super-wealthy Elite stand a chance. The International Bankers (The Illuminati) are the ones who own the Industry. As soon as someone outside the Agenda is creating something new (may it be a new type of music trend, a new label with contrary or new fresh ideas) which is either against their interests or a threat in the sense of competition, the Illuminati is quick to buy them out. If the Company or the persons refuse to sell, they are threatened. We all have seen Mafia Movies. That is exactly how it works.

 

So are we supposed to stop listening to the music we’ve always liked after have read this article? It’s up to each one of us to make that decision, but for mass mind control like this to work, the receiver has to be ignorant of what is going on or it won’t work. I am torn myself, because I love some of the old music from the 60s-70s and I still listen to it with pleasure, but without being indoctrinated and seeing the musicians as heroes. On the other hand, by buying the music, I support this criminal industry, which I don’t like to do. So that’s where I stand, in all honesty.
 

 

Conclusion

 

From what we have discussed in this article, we can see the pattern. It is no coincidence that so many mega rock stars have military and Intelligence family ties. It’s within the Military complex and the Intelligence Agencies that mind control takes place, and many of those rock stars are either under mind control or just greedy, willing to follow any agenda to get an abundance of money, sex and drugs. We also see that behind it all lurk the secret societies with their occult knowledge. The guru for many rock stars is Aleister Crowley, a magician who spent his life in and out of asylums due to the rituals he practiced and all the drugs he took. Also, people close to him had a strange tendency to die before their time. But he had great occult knowledge and this knowledge is used within the music/film industries as well as high up in the Illuminati.

The reason why we have financial meltdown, why life is so hectic and why all these wars are going on all over the planet is because there is a secret powerful cabal of occult practitioners behind the scenes creating this chaos with a long term goal to accomplish a One World Government where no one is free and nothing but slave labor to those in power. This is a goal they have been working on for centuries and it’s a huge task to accomplish, and they know that they would have little chance to reach there unless they had Hollywood and the Music Industry to use as major propaganda machines.

On the bright side, people are currently waking up to this fact and start getting their voices heard. However, we are racing against time, because the Power Elite is quite close to accomplishing their goals and we need to act now if we will stand a chance. Once they succeed, it will be next to impossible to reverse the effects.

The Truth About Calories And Cholesterol

By Thomas Turk 
12-22-8

 

In this information age, one is bombarded with information and misinformation. Take the all important subject of calories and cholesterol.  When one is confronted with diametrically opposed ideas on food trends,  one tends to  give up, and often chooses the idea that is more heavily promoted, and that is, unfortunately here, the misinformation. Where does it start? The professors of nutrition must teach whats in the `book`, ( so I have been informed, although they admit know better). From then on, doctors, dieticians, sports trainers, food writers and celebrity chefs will repeat, without any further thought, the same dogma.  Obesity is used as the first scare. The non-scientific calorific calculations of all foods removes or reduces valuable nutrient-rich food from the diet, such as eggs, butter and liver. Why don`t  calories count? In human physiology, there are various homeo-stasis mechanisms. These attempt to maintain body fat and protein stores. These mechanisms probably evolved over miillions of years and some of their pathways have now been identiifed. One is thermic (Engl. thermogenic) effect. This is the rise of metabolic rate after a meal, depending partly on both what was eaten, and the bone-structure of the individual. Example. A light bone-structured individual may quaff down half a gallon of ice- cream, yet the  next day they will weigh the same. Their metabolic rate rose about 50% after the meal, and burnt off the excess fuel. The body may have have needed to minimise fat stores for a hot climate. Conversely, a heavy bone structured individual, may eat a few pieces of fruit after dinner, and they gain fat. This is because their metabolic rate may rise only 25%, to allow fat stores to build up or stay high,  for a colder climate. The body also prepares for famine by slowing metabolic rate as calories are reduced by eating less, and by eating less high calorie (but nutritious) foods. To further destroy the calorie myth, we have  continuous vigorous exercise raising metabolic rate fifteen fold! Also, vigorous interval training it will maintain a raised  metabolic rate for many hours.  The oversimplifed formula of calories in equals calories out is both wrong and unhealthy.   The cholesterol scare. This is used for marketing toxic statin drugs, low fat diets and a variety of pharmaceuticals to depress appetite, block fat absorbtion etc.  Stains, a 24 billion dollar fraud, block CQ10 production, (the heart-energy enzyme), cause kidney faulure and weaken muscles.   There is no need to lower blood cholesterol nor to reduce dietary cholesterol, (nor take statin or other drugs),  to prevent heart disease and stroke. This nonsense started with a faulty study in Framingham, Massachusetts, in 1953. The study showed that the population had slightly elevated blood cholesterol, and also slightly elevated heart disease. The study mistakenly concluded that dietary cholesterol had caused the higher blood cholesterol, and that in turn, the raised blood cholesterol caused the higher rate of heart disease. This study is the Holy Grail of the cholesterol scarers and the scams.   What raised the cholesterol levels of the subjects in the study? One or more, or any combination of… insufficient omega 3 fatty acids in the diet, lack of vigorous exercise, overweight, insufficient Viatmin B3, (niacin), post menopausal period in woman, aging in men.    What caused the heart disease to be slightly above average in the study? One or more, or any combination of… high blood triglycerides, (blood fats elevated by sugar, alcohol and carbs); high lipo-protein alpha, (lowered with vitamin C); high homocysteine, (lowered with vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid); and to a lesser extent, smoking, dog heart worm, transfats, inflamation from obesity, (a new idea, but prevented by vitamin D3), nickel. To suplement or not? YES, we do need to supplement for optimum health, even if your doctor/dietician say DONT. (A study a few years ago showed 80% of doctors in USA self-supplementing with Vitamin E) !   Lets examine the benefits of some high calorie and high cholesterol foods. Butter contains the omegas in perfect proportion, arichidonic acid, short and medium chain fatty acids, and conjugated linoleic acids . All good. Also present are selenium, iodine, manganese zinc, chromium, and lecithin. Butter synthesises Vitamin B6 through the friendly intestinal bacteria, thus reducing heart-disease causing homocysteine. This was shown in a  large scale study in Lancet, whereby those on a very high ghee, (clarified butter) diet had one tenth the heart disease of the pure vegetarians. Eggs contain l-cysteine and selenium, powerful heart-protecting anti-oxidants. A study by Drs Cayley and Hammond of the American Cancer Society, showed that those that ate more than 5 eggs a week had less heart disease. Beef fat contains conjugated linoleic acid. Beef and beef liver are a rich souce of protein, minerals and B vitamins. All these nutrients protect.    Several diverse groups of people consume a very high saturated fat diet, but have no heart disease history. These are the Masai and Samburu  in East Africa, the Eskimo, the Benedicitine Monks, the Irish in America, and various Pacific Islanders. The Amish in America is another group, but scientists now claim they have a special gene to combat the high fat diet, but that is just a smokescreen.   The so called Mediterranean diet, reputed to prevent heart disease, as it would be low in saturated fat, in reality does NOT exist. Italians traditionally cook with butter, goose fat and lard, depending on the region. The Greeks eat large amounts of high saturated fat feta goat cheese daily. The Spanish and Portuguese loads of fatty pork, beef  and eggs. The French cook with butter and cream, and consume so much cheese. Less heart disease yes, but not from that mythical fish and olive oil diet.   The good (HDL) and the bad (LDL) cholesterol are risk indicators and not the causes. High fat diets, such as Atkins, showed improvement in these indicators.   The food pyramid. This is also designed to keep you away from nutritious foods. It is NOT science based, with its recommended high carbohydrate intake from fruit, (fructose) and grains (carbs and plant chemicals lectins and leptins),  that cause heart disease, obesity, and  diabetes risk.   If you already have narrowed arteries, EDTA, with its 20 beneficial side effects,  cleans them out, despite desperate denial by the mainstream.   The cancer scare. High saturated fat foods have been implicated as possible cancer causes for the colon etc., this based  on statistical studies. As science has moved ahead and we today have the identified causes and pathways of all cancers, these vague and inaccurate statistics no longer apply. (The Cure and Prevention of All Cancers. 2007. H R Clark PhD ND). You will not hear of the cancer cure from mainstream medicine for a long time,  keeping in mind that it took them four hundred years to accept that Vitamin C cures scurvy.   Why have we been misinformed? Is it because the Universities, being mainly funded by the pharmaceutical industry, need to control information in order to keep the population sickly, so as to drive up profits? I suspect so.   Dont dismiss alternative ideas. Research well. Your health depends on these simple health choices.     Thomas Turk   thomascturk@hotmail.com   45 Years in the Fitness industry and the author of gthairrejuvenation.com.

 

Facts Continue To Mock ‘Global Warming’

Something very odd had happened to the daily updated graph on the official Nansen website last weekend, writes Christopher Booker.

Butterflies and polar ice are enlisted in warmist cause Photo: Getty

Last weekend, that heroically diligent US meteorologist Anthony Watts noticed that something very odd had happened to the daily updated graph on the official Nansen website that shows how much sea-ice there is in the Arctic. Without explanation, as he reported on his Watts Up With That website, half a million square kilometres of ice simply vanished overnight.

This might have brought cheer to all those, such as Al Gore and the BBC, who have been obsessively telling us that the Arctic ice will soon disappear altogether. They were dismayed enough last winter when, after reaching its lowest point in 30 years, the ice bounded back to near “normal”. This winter the freeze has been even faster and greater, making the extent of the ice, according to the other main Arctic website, Crysophere Today, 500,000 sq km greater than this time last year. How better to maintain the chosen narrative than to lose that half-million square kilometres simply by “adjusting” the graph downwards?

The warmists are so locked into their general narrative that the plummeting temperatures and abnormal snowfalls of the past two winters have thrown their army of media groupies into quite a tizzy. The BBC did at least deign last week to notice the worst snowstorm to hit Las Vegas for 30 years, but without mentioning the freak snow and ice storms affecting many other parts of the US, as far south as New Orleans. The BBC was also quick to pick up from Pravda the unusual lack of snow in Moscow, without mentioning Siberia’s record freeze that lowered temperatures to -60C.

Elsewhere in recent days, there have been reports of seven species of penguin being put on the endangered list owing to global warming – although Antarctic sea-ice this year reached easily its highest level since satellite records began in 1979.

Another warmist perennial to get an outing, from Dr Martin Warren of Butterfly Conservation, is the threat to the survival of many of our butterflies. As a longtime student of butterflies, I am keenly aware of various factors leading to the alarming decline in their numbers, but global warming is not one of them. If it were, how did such dwindling species as the Mountain Ringlet and even the Small Tortoiseshell survive the much warmer temperatures 1,000 years ago, before SUVs were invented?

Perhaps the get-out for the beleaguered warmists was provided by Friday’s Today programme, when it reported heavy snowfalls on the Cairngorm ski slopes, only two years after the BBC was excitably reporting fears that ski-ing in Scotland might soon be but a memory. A local spokeswoman helpfully suggested that the thing about “climate change” was that it was always coming up with the unexpected.

So whatever happens, hot or cold, wet or dry, it can all be put down to that pesky old “climate change”. As the rest of us might observe with a wry smile, how very true.

Feds Attempting To Entrap Truthers?

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Friday, December 12, 2008

A bizarre bar room conversation related to us by a reader suggests that ex-military personnel may be being used to provocateur 9/11 truthers and liberty activists into making violent statements as a potential pretext for entrapment.

A reader who wishes to remain anonymous informs us about a strange individual who entered his local bar and suddenly started spouting off in a loud voice about Jews, 9/11 and even allegedly made death threats against Barack Obama.

The full story of the encounter is included below.

Last night at about 6pm, I decided to go have a scotch and pizza at a nearby pub. I’ve been there several times and like most of the times in my life of visiting bars, I have never sat next to someone that wanted to (in this case) encourage open statements against the Jews, against Obama, against the government, but not necessarily at George Bush, Jeb Bush, or even Marvin Bush.

Out-of-the-blue, a fairly educated looking individual sits down next to me and began bashing Jews, faster than I could say “What?”

He ordered a pizza and a coke, and began bashing FoxNews as the “Jew Tube” and kept trying to get my input. My antennas went-up immediately and I made the mistake of engaging in a conversation with him, and mentioned that FoxNews was typical of mainstream media now. He continued to bash Jews at every single level and tells me he knows who exactly was behind 9/11. “I know I sound like a Jew basher, but it’s the truth,” he says…and that “Alex Jones is right and he bashes Jews too!” (He didn’t ask me if I had seen “Loose Change”) but he assumed that I did. I told him that Alex does not bash Jews, and I asked, “What station do you listen to Alex on?” He paused and said, “I only saw Loose Change!” And added…”I don’t listen to him on any station.” He went-on about 9/11 being an inside job, and of course, “the Jews did it,” he said.

I told him several times that I have nothing against the people of Israel, but I am sure that Mossad and the Pakistani ISI were involved, I continued…”That’s a theory and all my expertise is on the act itself, since I am a retired airline captain of large jets, therefore, leave it to a new investigation to determine who actually did it!” He goes-on…”The Jews were behind 9/11, they’re behind everything!” I just shuddered, as most everyone around us could hear him.

He went-on about everyone, including Obama being a Jewish descendent and “somebody should K*** him” etc. He continued to stay on that a few minutes and trying to get me to agree. I didn’t…

I told him that he can’t just walk into a bar, up to someone he doesn’t know, and begin bashing Jews! “That can get you in an immediate bar fight!” He said…”I have a right to express my 1st amendment rights and if nobody likes it…tough!”

I was eating my pizza as fast as I could, because I was beginning to get sick. I felt strongly that he was a federal agent, attempting to (either) initiate me into a supremacist group, or openly state something against Obama (to determine a threat level of me), or use a taped conversation later as evidence to lock me up. BTW…he knew nothing about REX 84

He was in full agreement that 9/11 was an inside job, and told me his name….but if you look at his article on “Defense Link” below, it paints a different picture. He’s retired from the Navy and seems to have become very disgruntled about 9/11, or he’s an agent. Something tripped this guy, and it would be remarkable if “Loose Change” did it, but certain things don’t add up here. I was definitely being prompted to agree and talk on his terms.

The moral of this story is to NOT engage in open conversation about sensitive issues at a bar. Hand them a DVD (outside) and ask them to tell you later as to what they think about it. If you are the initiator of a sensitive conversation, you have a better chance of not encountering a federal agent that wants to drag you into their world. And by all means…don’t open conversations by bashing Jews, Christians, and telling people what you would like see happen to Obama. ONLY federal agents can get away with that dialogue when prompting a subject to fall into their trap. Our new world will get real testy soon and people need to be aware of who they are talking to, because the search for dissidents, patriots, 9/11 truthers, bloggers, and radio/journalists is on the move.

I ate my last piece of pizza and told him I had to go feed my dog. I get-up, didn’t wait for the bartender to take my money…I walked over to the end of the bar and paid her. He gets up and walks over to where I am standing and pays his bill too! He leaves out the front door…I walk into the bathroom, and a guy, that was sitting near us, (now in the bathroom) had been listening to the conversation, asked me “What in the hell was that all about? That guy was F****** strange!”

If that were the entirety of the story then one would be inclined to dismiss the individual as just a disturbed nutcase.

However, despite this individual making vague but hostile statements against Jews, the government, the media and the official 9/11 story, he is prominently featured on the U.S. Department of Defense website as a recently retired Navy officer who expressed vehement support for the war on terror. His real name and photo are carried on the defenselink.mil website, according to the reader who related the story, and were provided to us. The reader knows it is the same guy because he mentioned a very specific thing about himself during the conversation that is also detailed on the Defense Department website page.

The contradiction between this and the individual’s statements and behavior in the bar suggest that he was putting on an act in an attempt to attract anyone of a radical bent that might be a target for an undercover entrapment operation.

His blanket statements yet distinct lack of detailed knowledge about 9/11, along with his claim that “Alex Jones bashes Jews,” and the alleged death threat made against Obama are very suspicious indicators that this individual is on the payroll as a Federal informant involved in some kind of entrapment dragnet.

Far from being a paranoid fantasy, this is a method commonly employed by intelligence agencies to entrap alleged terrorists who are later presented to the media as dangerous Al-Qaeda affiliated operatives, as we saw in the case of the “Chicago Seven,” who were in actual fact a near-retarded street gang who took cash from an FBI provocateur in return for making violent remarks and drawing up crude plans to attack the Sears Tower.

The 9/11 truth movement is completely peaceful and no 9/11 truther has ever been criminally charged from activities relating to a protest or demonstration. Despite this fact, smear attempts to link the truth movement with crude terror attacks, such as the fire-bombing of the US military recruiting center in New York’s Times Square, have repeatedly been attempted.

We advise readers to express extreme caution when approached by strangers who begin talking in this manner and also to report any death threats made against public figures to the relevant authorities.

Words associated with Christianity and British history taken out of children’s dictionary

Words associated with Christianity, the monarchy and British history have been dropped from a leading dictionary for children.

Oxford University Press has removed words like “aisle”, “bishop”, “chapel”, “empire” and “monarch” from its Junior Dictionary and replaced them with words like “blog”, “broadband” and “celebrity”. Dozens of words related to the countryside have also been culled.

The publisher claims the changes have been made to reflect the fact that Britain is a modern, multicultural, multifaith society.

But academics and head teachers said that the changes to the 10,000 word Junior Dictionary could mean that children lose touch with Britain’s heritage.

“We have a certain Christian narrative which has given meaning to us over the last 2,000 years. To say it is all relative and replaceable is questionable,” said Professor Alan Smithers, the director of the centre for education and employment at Buckingham University. “The word selections are a very interesting reflection of the way childhood is going, moving away from our spiritual background and the natural world and towards the world that information technology creates for us.”

An analysis of the word choices made by the dictionary lexicographers has revealed that entries from “abbey” to “willow” have been axed. Instead, words such as “MP3 player”, “voicemail” and “attachment” have taken their place.

Lisa Saunders, a worried mother who has painstakingly compared entries from the junior dictionaries, aimed at children aged seven or over, dating from 1978, 1995, 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007, said she was “horrified” by the vast number of words that have been removed, most since 2003.

“The Christian faith still has a strong following,” she said. “To eradicate so many words associated with the Christianity will have a big effect on the numerous primary schools who use it.”

Ms Saunders realised words were being removed when she was helping her son with his homework and discovered that “moss” and “fern”, which were in editions up until 2003, were no longer listed.

“I decide to take a closer look and compare the new version to the other editions,” said the mother of four from Co Down, Northern Ireland. “I was completely horrified by the vast number of words which have been removed. We know that language moves on and we can’t be fuddy-duddy about it but you don’t cull hundreds of important words in order to get in a different set of ICT words.”

Anthony Seldon, the master of Wellington College, a leading private school in Berkshire, said: “I am stunned that words like “saint”, “buttercup”, “heather” and “sycamore” have all gone and I grieve it.

“I think as well as being descriptive, the Oxford Junior Dictionary, has to be prescriptive too, suggesting not just words that are used but words that should be used. It has a duty to keep these words within usage, not merely pander to an audience. We are looking at the loss of words of great beauty. I would rather have “marzipan” and “mistletoe” then “MP3 player.”

Oxford University Press, which produces the junior edition, selects words with the aid of the Children’s Corpus, a list of about 50 million words made up of general language, words from children’s books and terms related to the school curriculum. Lexicographers consider word frequency when making additions and deletions.

Vineeta Gupta, the head of children’s dictionaries at Oxford University Press, said: “We are limited by how big the dictionary can be – little hands must be able to handle it – but we produce 17 children’s dictionaries with different selections and numbers of words.

“When you look back at older versions of dictionaries, there were lots of examples of flowers for instance. That was because many children lived in semi-rural environments and saw the seasons. Nowadays, the environment has changed. We are also much more multicultural. People don’t go to Church as often as before. Our understanding of religion is within multiculturalism, which is why some words such as “Pentecost” or “Whitsun” would have been in 20 years ago but not now.”

She said children’s dictionaries were trialed in schools and advice taken from teachers. Many words are added to reflect the age-related school curriculum.

World asked to help craft online charter for religious harmony

AFP
November 17, 2008

A website launched Friday with the backing of technology industry and Hollywood elite urges people worldwide to help craft a framework for harmony between all religions.

The Charter for Compassion project on the Internet at www.charterforcompassion.org springs from a “wish” granted this year to religious scholar Karen Armstrong at a premier Technology, Entertainment and Design (TED) conference in California.

“Tedizens” include Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin along with other Internet icons as well as celebrities such as Forest Whittaker and Cameron Diaz.

Wishes granted at TED envision ways to better the world and come with a promise that Tedizens will lend their clout and capabilities to making them come true.

Armstrong’s wish is to combine universal principles of respect and compassion into a charter based on a “golden rule” she believes is at the core of every major religion.

The Golden Rule essentially calls on people to do unto others as they would have done unto them.

Newspapers to Distribute Neocon Propaganda DVD in Swing States

Kurt Nimmo
Infowars
September 14, 2008

David Sweet, writing for Raw Story, characterizes the Clarion Fund as a “shadowy group” distributing a 60-minute DVD, titled “Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West.” The DVD “is being distributed in millions of newspapers across the country this week primarily in swing states,” including Indiana, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, New Mexico, and elsewhere in order to “ensure we can all make an informed vote in November,” that is to say vote for the neocon candidate, John McCain. Distributing 145,000 DVDs is a last ditch attempt to keep the neocons in the driver’s seat and stretch out the “clash of civilizations” into the indeterminable future.

A Google search of the Clarion Fund produces few results of use. “Clarion Fund, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization. We are independent and do not accept funding from the U.S. Government, political institutions, or foreign organizations,” states the Clarion Fund’s website. “Our primary focus is on the most urgent threat of radical Islam.” However, the Popular Progressive blog was able to pull up a modicum of information:

Through some web digging, I was able to identify three players, Raphael Shore who is a Canadian citizen who is the producer/co-writer of the film and founder of the Clarion Fund, Wayne Kopping, a South African national, the director and co-writer and Gregory Ross, who is the communications director of this New York based non-profit group. Ross was “originally from Los Angeles and have lived overseas for many years. I moved back to LA from New York after 9-11, and a stint on Wall Street, and started working in the Hollywood Entertainment community.” Ross does not disclose how the film was produced, but is quoted as saying “The film was financed by a concerned citizen who has a long standing relationship with our organization. The cost was under $500k and it took over a year to complete.” Something about this group doesn’t pass the smell test, particularly when no information is available about its donors and board of directors.

Indeed, although this lack of information, apparently deliberate, does not hide the obvious fact the neocons are behind the Clarion Fund. As the video clip above reveals, the unmistakable neocon imprimatur is all over this propaganda DVD.

As it turns out, Gregory Ross is associated with David Horowitz and the Frontpage website. Horowitz takes money from the Bradley, Olin, Sarah Scaife and Smith Richardson foundation, in particular billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife. Horowitz, a neocon of the most fanatical sort, has taken “more than $1.2 million from Scaife-controlled foundations since 2000 and more than $5.6 million since 1989″ for his Center for the Study of Popular Culture, according to Terry Krepel, citing Media Transparency.

But “Dickie” Scaife is more than your average neocon. He is intimately connected to the Wall Street CIA apparatus and the secret government, according to research conducted by Edward Spannaus. “From 1973 to 1975, Scaife ran Forum World Features, a foreign news service used as a front to disseminate CIA propaganda around the world,” notes Political Friendster. “The CIA has always recruited the nation’s elite: millionaire businessmen, Wall Street brokers, members of the national news media, and Ivy League scholars,” writes Steve Kangas. “Historically, the CIA and society’s elite have been one and the same people. This means that their interests and goals are one and the same as well.”

It should be obvious by now that the elite want perpetual war for perpetual profit — for the death merchants and the banksters — in the Middle East. In order to make their honed murder machine run efficiently and sans resistance they must propagandize the public on the “existential threat” of radical Islam. In fact, no such threat exists because the radical Muslims hyped in “Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West” are infinitesimal in number, factionalized, and pathetically disorganized – that is unless they work for the CIA, MI-6, German intelligence, and the Mossad.

However, this is not the half of it. In the video, we are subjected to the ranting of Abu Hamza al-Masri, who promises to take over the world in the name of Islam. Not only was al-Masri connected to Abdullah Azzam, al-Qaeda, and the CIA-ISI network in Afghanistan, he was first approached by British intelligence in 1997 and was closely associated with Haroon Rashid Aswat, the supposed 7/7 bombing mastermind and MI6 asset, according to former Justice Department prosecutor John Loftus. In fact, al-Masri worked obligingly for years with two branches of the British security services, the police’s Special Branch and MI5 (see The Suicide Factory: Abu Hamza and the Finsbury Park Mosque, Sean O’Neill, Daniel McGrory, pp. 143-5).

But then this should come as no surprise, as even the corporate media has reported on occasion that MI5 has a track record of working with al-Qaeda (see Steve Watson, Terror Expert: 7/7 Mastermind was working for British Intelligence, Group was used by Brits in Kosovo in the late 90s).

Of course, most of the people who will receive the gratis neocon DVD inserted in newspapers will know nothing of this and will likely be spooked by the lurid images of Muslims calling for the murder of infidels and global jihad, a cartoonish prospect at best. Many of them will likely vote for John McCain, the neocon choice over Barack Obama, who is no lightweight when it comes to the manufactured GWOT and its resultant piles of dead bodies (Obama has called for unilateral military strikes inside Pakistan and wants to move troops from Iraq to Afghanistan).

The Clarion Fund may remain “shadowy,” however the DVD it is handing out to potential voters is an obvious product of the neocons, apparently linked back to the former Marxist David Horowitz and his patron, the CIA operative “Dickie” Scaife.

The “Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West” DVD would serve as a nice drink coaster. However, as the neocons understand all too well, an appreciable number of people will be suckered by their fictional scenario — same as they are suckered by likewise daily content on Fox News, CNN, et al — although it remains to be seen if they will turn out for John McCain.

Either way, it hardly matters. Because the perpetual war gang will rule the roost no matter who ends up on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue come January, 2009.

Al-Qaeda Chief Al-Zawahiri Viciously Slams Iran

Neo-Cons to have a harder time pushing terrorist link after harsh rebuke

September 8, 2008

Neo-Cons are going to have a harder time equating the Iranian threat with 9/11 as the anniversary of the attack on America nears if the latest Al-Qaeda propaganda tape is to be believed. In a new broadcast, Al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri viciously attacks Tehran as “collaborators” with the United States in Afghanistan and Iraq.

“The leadership in Tehran is collaborating with the Americans in their occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan,” Zawahiri said in the extract broadcast by Al-Jazeera today, reports AFP.

“It recognises the subservient (to Washington) governments of these two countries, while at the same time pledging death and destruction to any state which dares touch Iranian soil,” added the Egyptian deputy to Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

Zawahiri’s purported rebuke towards the Iranians is not going to sit well with supporters of John McCain, for it was the Republican nominee who attempted to blur the lines between Sunni and Shia back in March when he was corrected by Joe Lieberman after claiming Iran was training Al-Qaeda terrorists.

Speaking to reporters in Amman, the Jordanian capital, McCain said he and two Senate colleagues traveling with him continue to be concerned about Iranian operatives “taking al-Qaeda into Iran, training them and sending them back.”

Pressed to elaborate, McCain said it was “common knowledge and has been reported in the media that al-Qaeda is going back into Iran and receiving training and are coming back into Iraq from Iran, that’s well known. And it’s unfortunate.” A few moments later, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, standing just behind McCain, stepped forward and whispered in the presidential candidate’s ear. McCain then said: “I’m sorry, the Iranians are training extremists, not al-Qaeda.”

In reality, the two are arch enemies, Iran being a Shiite theocracy and Al-Qaeda being a Sunni Muslim organization.

But that has not stopped further claims of a relationship between Tehran and Al-Qaeda, made notably by the 9/11 Commission as well as other Neo-Con talking heads.

The build-up to the invasion of Iraq in March 2003 was similarly preceded by relentless claims on behalf of top Bush administration officials that Saddam Hussein was in league with Al-Qaeda.

In reality, “Saddam Hussein was distrustful of al-Qaeda and viewed Islamic extremists as a threat to his regime, refusing all requests from al-Qaeda to provide material or operational support,” according to a CIA report released in September 2006.

The report concluded that there were no formal links between Saddam Hussein and any Al-Qaeda leaders before the 2003 invasion.

With the anniversary of 9/11 just around the corner, we can expect Neo-Cons and Bush administration officials to continue to invoke the 9/11 victims as a pretext for propagandizing for a war with Iran – despite the fact that Al-Qaeda, the very group the U.S. government claims was responsible for 9/11, has now publicly scorned Tehran.
