NY Times: Loose Nukes Echo Chamber

The tempo of apocalyptic fear-mongering has kicked into overdrive: the MSM is literally awash with portentious articles of new terror attacks involving loose nukes.

Let's be very clear about this: the 9/11 drug is wearing off, the wheels are coming off that lie, and they're hustling "the next big thing" to market as fast as they can. These madmen are doubling down on terror, just as they're about to do the same with Iraq.

I can barely keep up with the sowing-the-ground articles, and I focus almost exclusively on the top tier NYT, WaPo & BBC--and THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING.

The NY Times' second "we're-gonna-get-nuked-soon" article this week, via the Huffington Post, behind the NYT firewall:

"Frank Rich: Experts Warn Al Qaeda "To Detonate Nuclear Device" In US, But Bush Punts on Threat."

In an op-ed in the New York Times, columnist Frank Rich argues that
over five years after the events of September 11, 2001, President George
W. Bush is still ignoring serious terrorist threats to the United
States. Faced with warnings from terrorism experts and a White House
seemingly more focused on Iraq, Rich begs readers to ask, "Haven't we
been here before?"

Yes Frank, on the same pages just this past Sunday in fact. And that's what really scares the Hell out of me.

Owl Gods Redux

In a prior post on 9/11 and secret societies, I mentioned Bohemian Grove and Molloch, the ancient Babylonian owl god worshipped there. Though none of what follows is particularly new information, I wanted to expand on that prior post here.

The question why Presidents, CEOs, media moguls and financiers secretly gather to worship huge stone owl effigies in Redwood forests is obviously an interesting one, and quite revealing.

The owl, of course, can see in the dark, and thus is the perfect symbol for the Illuminati, that most secret of societies, which sees behind and in large part plans the apparently random events that form our "current events": carefully planned accidents, false-flag terrorist attacks, financial and political machinations that pop up in our MSM long after the fact--if at all.

The owl then is a symbol of hubris, of condescension--there is even a tiny one perched on the upper right corner of the front of the one-dollar bill--which of course sports the Illuminati/freemasonry pyramid with its all-seeing eye of Isis/Osiris on the verso, just above its inscription dedicated to a Latinate "new world order." And there's another one drawn in the roads surrounding the Capitol, which sits in its belly--the belly of the beast.

Neat little package, the dollar bill--all the conspiracies in a nutshell--and even better, you carry it in your pocket every day, totally in the dark about all its hidden symbolism. The dollar bill is a talisman, and these secret-society nutjobs think that it generates positive auguries for their plans and projects.

The current half-dozen posts give you some idea of their current projects--provoking war with Iran and dismantling American civil rights being foremost on the agenda--and I think that 2007 will be a critical year in American history. We are heading for a crisis of their making, and they have gambled enormously and dug themselves so deep into their occult-feathered nest of unprecedented lies, crimes and manipulations that it can only lead to horrific confrontation. You know, enough is enough. This sh*t has got to stop.

So fasten your seat-belts and stock up on duct tape, it's going to be one Hell of a bumpy year.

Paging Dr. Freud...

From Dan Froomkin in today's WaPo:

Sometimes it's the softball questions that can get the most telling responses

Here's the transcript of Cheney's interview on Friday with Greg Sheridan of the Australian.

"Q What's the highlight for you personally of being Vice President, your time in office?

"THE VICE PRESIDENT: What's the highlight? I'm going to have to think about that when I get out of office and I have time to do it. Clearly, our administration has been dominated by the events of 9/11 and the aftermath. That has clearly become front and center in terms of our concerns and we spend our time, how we spend our resources. And I think in terms of accomplishments, the fact that we've defeated all attempts to strike the United States again for the last five years doesn't mean we won't be hit tomorrow. They're still out there trying hard, but it has been over five years now."

Ask Cheney for a highlight of his six-plus years as vice president, and the only thing that comes to mind is 9/11.

Well, what a surprise that Cheney finds 9/11 his biggest accomplishment. About as big a surprise as W saying it was that fish he caught on his dude ranch.

For once neither of them lied.

P.S. Froomkin's post is entitled "The Ominous Omnipotent Omnipresent Cheney" and sits below this headline, which made me laugh out loud:

However, I am filled with foreboding at Cheney's sudden, global ubiquity. It is deeply disturbing that, as the administration once again ramps up the war propaganda, he has popped out of his bunker like it's Groundhog Day.

You Have Been Warned: Loose Nukes & Dirty Bombs

From today's NY Times Magazine:

Former Senator Sam Nunn's nightmare scenario for our future. The lede:

By now we can too readily imagine the horror of terrorists exploding a nuclear weapon in a major American city: the gutted skyscrapers, the melted cars, the charred bodies.

Ok, you've got my attention, but I've read this sort of long, sober, but utterly hair-raising Sunday Times Mag "they"-could-nuke-NYC-or-Washington article just once too often. Here comes another, just at the moment we have three full carrier task forces within striking distance of Tehran.

Again, the operative word is terror.

Chilling Prescience: Jim Garrison Speaks, 1967

Here I cede the floor to a remarkable man, whose words should not be lost.

Earling Carothers "Jim" Garrison was District Attorney for New Orleans, and placed local businessman Clay Bertrand on trial for conspiracy in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He is the focus of Oliver Stone's film, JFK. From a Playboy interview in 1967:

PLAYBOY: Many of the professional critics of the Warren Commission appear to be prompted by political motives: Those on the left are anxious to prove Kennedy was murdered by a internal conspiracy within the establishment; and those on the right are eager to prove the assassination was an act of "the international Communist conspiracy." Where would you place yourself on the political spectrum--right, left or center?

JIM GARRISON: That's a question I've asked myself frequently, especially since this investigation started and I found myself in an incongruous and disillusioning battle with agencies of my own Government. I can't just sit down and add up my political beliefs like a mathematical sum, but I think, in balance, I'd turn up somewhere around the middle. Over the years, I guess I've developed a somewhat conservative attitude--in the traditional libertarian sense of conservatism, as opposed to the thumbscrew-and-rack conservatism of the paramilitary right--particularly in regard to the importance of the individual as opposed to the State and the individual's own responsibilities to humanity . . .

I was with the artillery supporting the division that took Dachau; I arrived there the day after it was taken, when bulldozers were making pyramids of human bodies outside the camp. What I saw there has haunted me ever since. Because the law is my profession, I've always wondered about the judges throughout Germany who sentenced men to jail for picking pockets at a time when their own government was jerking gold from the teeth of men murdered in gas chambers. I'm concerned about all of this because it isn't a German phenomenon; it's a human phenomenon. It can happen here, because there has been no change, there has been no progress and there has been no increase of understanding on the part of men for their fellow men.

What worries me deeply, and I have seen it exemplified in this case, is that we in America are in great danger of slowly eroding into a proto-fascist state. It will be a different kind of fascist state from the one the Germans evolved; theirs grew out of depression and promised bread and work, while ours, curiously enough, seems to be emerging from prosperity. But in the final analysis, it's based on power and on the inability to put human goals and human conscience above the dictates of the State. Its origins can be traced in the tremendous war machine we've built since 1945, the "military-industrial complex" that Eisenhower vainly warned us about, which now dominates every aspect of our life. The power of the states and the Congress has gradually been abandoned to the Executive Department, because of war conditions; and we've seen the creation of an arrogant, swollen bureaucratic complex totally unfettered by the checks and balances of the Constitution.

In a very real and terrifying sense, our Government is the CIA and the Pentagon, with Congress reduced to a debating society. Of course, you can't spot this trend to fascism by casually looking around. You can't look for such familiar signs as the swastika, because they won't be there. We won't build Dachaus and Auschwitzes; the clever manipulation of the mass media is creating a concentration camp of the mind that promises to be far more effective in keeping the populace in line. We're not going to wake up one morning and suddenly find ourselves in gray uniforms goose-stepping off to work.

About the photo: Paramilitary police attacking lawful demonstrators protesting against the Free Trade Area of the Americas pact (FTAA) in November of 2003 in Miami.

But this isn't the test. The test is: What happens to the individual who dissents? In Nazi Germany, he was physically destroyed; here the internal process is more subtle, but the end results are the same. I've learned enough about the machinations of the CIA in the past year to know that this is no longer the internal dreamworld America I once believed in. The imperatives of the population explosion, which almost inevitably will lessen our belief in the sanctity of the individual human life, combined with the awesome power of the CIA and the defense establishment, seem destined to seal the fate of the America I knew as a child and bring us into a new Orwellian world where the citizen exists for the State and where raw power justifies any and every immoral act.

I've always had a kind of knee-jerk trust in my Government's basic integrity, whatever political blunders it may make. But I've come to realize that in Washington, deceiving and manipulating the public are viewed by some as the natural prerogatives of office. Huey Long once said, "Fascism will come to America in the name of anti-fascism." I'm afraid, based on my own long experience, that fascism will come to America in the name of national security.

It Could Never Happen Here:Russian Press Derides Concocted Terror Alert

From today's Metro France (yes, even Metro, the International freebie daily):

Yesterday, the majority of Russian newspapers derided the anti-terrorist operations conducted throughout the country a day earlier, questioning whether the alert wasn't in reality a political exercise or maneuver.

It's come to this: the Russians have a freer, more skeptical press than we do.

The Times, they are a changin'.

George W. Bush: Their Pet Goat

"We seem to be moving, drifting, steadily against our will--against the will of every race and every people and every class--towards some hideous catastrophe. Everyone wishes to stop it, but they do not know how."
Winston Churchill, April 13, 1937

Churchill's words, spoken on the eve of World War II, resonate even more profoundly today. They can be applied to any number of gathering storms--to environmental degradation and global warming; to globalization and the impoverishment of the Western middle class; to terrorism and the loss of Constitutional liberties in the United States; to the Bush administration's Strangelovian determination to broaden its Middle East conflagration to Iran and Syria, following the PNAC agenda, and the open talk of using tactical nuclear weapons to achieve these ends; and, finally, I would add to the Bush administration itself.

I believe the root causes of this relentless tow "towards some hideous catastrophe" are not pure happenstance or random drift. There are larger forces in action, determined groups, very real agendas, if only rarely glimpsed, and they find their nexus in the secret government of the United States. They are two overlapping groups: secret societies and the military industrial complex. Their doubled aims and their raison d'etre are the effacement of what they view as the insane experiment of creating a republic of free men, embodied in the US Constitution, and the militarization of American society, the better to control the American (and world) population and confront the alien question.

With the administration of George W. Bush, these players have boldly advanced their agenda, in what for all the world looks like an endgame. Like the relentless march toward World War II, it seems the Bush administration cannot be checked by any counterforce. Bush himself has nothing really to do with this. He is the puppet of and cheerleader for his masters--the most blatantly obvious Presidential marionette of all--and that he attained the office of President, twice, in successive rigged election/putsches, shows the utter disdain the true powers controlling America have for the public and for world opinion. They are literally thumbing their noses at us as they erect their unitary executive and their police state, using this pathetic boy-king as their posterboy.

We see the unease everywhere; it is even starting to appear in the mainstream media, even though 90% of the MSM is under the firm control of but five corporations. Throughout the blogosphere, the claxons have been ringing for years; political commentators--moderate, liberal and libertarian, in short all those not obviously allied with these authoritarian/totalitarian elements--document with growing concern and rage the increasing dangers and the mounting threats. However, they cannot break free of the "established order" of the staged clash of left and right, of liberal and conservative, of Democrat and Republican. They cannot see the forest for the trees. They attribute the administration's motives to hubris, incompetence, and warmongering; but they do not see the bottom of the iceberg, these networks of power and influence and their insidious agenda. Once revealed, the current, seemingly insane moves toward war with Iran become perfectly explicable, the clash inevitable. Likewise, every other move of this administration--from Katrina to the GWOT to the dismantlement of objective science--fall into place as well.

George W. Bush, Bigger Patsy than Oswald

I return to Bush, that pathetic idiot manchild. Several independent reports (see Webster Tarpley & the 911 Timeline below) indicate that Bush had no involvement in plotting 9/11 and that indeed he was a target of the conspirators--if he did not join their cabal and become its cheerleader, then he would be disposed of. There was no downside: assassinating Bush on 9/11 would have completely demoralized America and installed an active conspirator in power. In any event, it was seen to it that Bush was publicly humiliated and made to feel the full extent of his superfluousness and expendability that morning. Shock and Awe indeed.

Look anew at those infamous nine minutes in the Florida classroom. Think about why the President was set amid first-graders, reading The Pet Goat, when he learned of the second jet hitting the second WTC tower. Ponder the importance of stagecraft in the modern Presidency, and consider Bush's 9/11 stage. Think of his immobility, his rising panic, the fear and dumbfoundment on his face. Think about why his handlers, in flagrant contravention of all Secret Service emergency protocols, purposefully left the President of the United States publicly exposed for over 40 minutes after the gravest attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor. Consider why he then pointlessly wandered across the nation in Air Force One for the rest of the day.

All this was no coincidence. Bush was the patsy, the pet goat, and soon enough he would be given his ultimatum--when Air Force One was in the air, denied fighter escort for nearly two hours: Become chief cheerleader for the 9/11 cabal or become another among thousands of victims of that brilliant mastermind in an Afgan cave. Bush was then flown to Offutt AFB in Nebraska, home of the US Strategic Command and operational center for Global Guardian--the most important of the astounding 20-odd "war games" exercises organized by the Pentagon and held on that most coincidence-laden morning (Global Guardian anticipated a Russian nuclear strike and raised US military alert status to DEFCON 3; all strategic nuclear weapons were at hair-trigger readiness).

It is no surprise that the first foreign leader to speak with Bush after the attacks was Russia's President Putin, as Russia was well aware of the sudden and threatening change in US force posture. Apparently Bush informed him that the Strangelovians were now in control and that the PNAC agenda was going to be implemented, and that if Russia didn't accede to America's Middle Eastern agenda, then Global Guardian would no longer be a game.

In yet another set of absurdities and coincidences to add to an already overflowing basket, Warren Buffett, one of the richest men in the world and who is now disconcertingly interested in "loose nukes," was also at Offutt that morning, hosting a "charity benefit" with business leaders, a number of whom otherwise would have been working in the WTC. I can't think of any location more conducive to charity, or a more congenial setting for the Morgan of our day to host a power breakfast, than the US Strategic Command HQ in eastern Nebraska--except perhaps Windows on the World. What on earth did they all talk about when the Pet Goat made his courtesy call?

9/11 Clearinghouse

First, a word on the photo: note the now-infamous demolition squibs shooting out of the WTC, caused by major detonations of the central columns in roughly 20-story increments, as above secondary charges pulverize the tower, bringing it down at free-fall speed.

September 11th was an inside job, the third US coup d'etat after the Kennedy assassination and the first George W. Bush administration, and if possible it was even more destabilizing and insidious than JFK's murder.

Like many, after the initial shock of events, I hadn't given 9/11 much serious thought until I read of the results of a recent Zogby poll showing nearly half of Americans and well over 60% of New Yorkers believe the US government is somehow involved in the conspiracy. Those are shocking numbers.

So I began to Google and indeed the evidence is overwhelming and irrefutable. The government's cover-up relies upon media collusion and mass apathy, but 9/11 must not be allowed to stand, as it is the base of the present regime's "legitimacy," the staggering treason that underpins their fascist agenda.

Fletcher Prouty--CIA liaison and man of conscience--penned words concerning the JFK assassination that find new relevance today: "Almost everyone who has taken the time to do any reading and thinking about that crime knows this is a game for the biggest stake of all--absolute control of the government of the United States of America; and, with control of this government, control of the world. And yet the real crime underlying all of this has not even been identified, stated, and charged. The real criminals still walk the streets, run their corporations, control their banks, and pull strings throughout their political and financial machines."
