9/11 'Conspiracy Nut' - Why I Wear That Badge With Pride

FPF comment:

9/11 TURNCOATS?

Concerning the 'good' writers and researchers about whom Herman writes in the article below, and who from one day to the other change course and start 'selling' the official and very illogical version of 9/11, it came to my mind that Rumsfeld's 'special but armed media branches' may have put a gun to their head.

Because - instead of being 'suicided' like American top journalist Gary Webb with TWO shots to the head - one can see journalist/researchers flee the United States. One of the latest was 'disappeared' American top publicist Michael C. Ruppert, who has fled the US after too many threats, and with some help turned up alive and well in Caracas, Venezuela, where he is in exile. - Url.: http://www.vheadline.com/readnews.asp?id=66275

But I don't exclude the usual threats and armed force being used by the creatures running the war's propaganda machine. They kill people by the millions, so who cares in their crazy circles about some journalists? That's the impression I got when Doug Thompson of Capitol Hill Blue did his shocking turnabout. I'm afraid many of those people in reality need help instead of criticism.

It all looks like a typical case of divide and rule by thw warmongers: take some of the harshest critics and make'm shut up, sing our song, or else... And than they'll have to attack the others, or we do it, and put their name under it. Because I do not believe that someone like Thompson or Cockburn writes critical, eloquent and well researched stories for decades, and than at once starts publishing Pentagon pamphlets in which nobody recognizes them. Let's take care and keep checking. - HR

'CONSPIRACY NUT' - WHY I WEAR THAT BADGE WITH PRIDE

By Douglas Herman

"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth." - Henry David Thoreau

From Rense.com - 09-13-2006 - When I was young, I was a contentious Catholic. Not a Catholic by choice but by parental decree. I was known as Doubting Thomas, by my long-suffering mother, who named me for that skeptical saint. I took nothing on faith. Certainly not Catholic doctrine or liturgy. I took nothing on faith if I couldn't see it with my own eyes or comprehend it with my own innate reasoning.

I'm a stubborn old fart now. I take a lot of pride in being right, of sticking to my beliefs in the face of long odds. I take a lot of pride in looking at facts objectively, logically, honestly. I do not suffer fools gladly, even though they may be, for the moment, in the majority. Indeed, the majority of passengers and crew believed the SS Titanic wouldn't sink - right up to the moment it did.

I'm a 'conspiracy nut' and damned proud of it. I wear that accusation like a badge of honor. In this land of the blind, I'm a one-eyed Cyclops, shaking my head at those with two good eyes, blinded by denial. All the facts, physics and logic, not to mention historical precedent, are in my favor. The majority of eye-witnesses to that enormous crime that happened on our televisions exactly five years ago, prefer media fiction to substantiated fact. Blind to history and human nature, not to mention Newtonian Laws, they prefer to see things the way they want rather than the way they are, disregarding the verifiable facts of 9-11.

Buildings do not just fall down. People do not just slide through airport boarding gates without a paper trail. Put options are not placed without record. Fuel fires do not cause structural steel to melt. Falling skyscrapers do not erupt like Mount St Helens. I could go on and on.

But to those angry, impassioned American patriots on the Left and Right, facts and physical laws must be bent and broken to support the insupportable. Although outraged by their government, a government of lies and liars, they
inexplicably continue to support the government version of events pertaining to 9-11.

As if this government of cowards, none of whom ever tasted battle, this government of criminals, capable of destroying the Bill of Rights, this rogue government, capable of launching a phony war to kill 100,000 innocent Iraqis and 3,000 US servicemen in order to enrich its cronies, could not conspire to kill 3,000 New York civilians. As if they couldn't.

Recently a noted Leftist, Alexander Cockburn of Counterpunch.com, joined noted Washington gadfly, Doug Thompson of Capitol Hill Blue, joining the sizable chorus of Rightwing government apologists, labeling anyone who disbelieves the US government version of the New York Massacre as "conspiracy nuts."

Certainly the US government, together with the state infected mainstream media, must be really desperate if they've convinced the Leftists and bloggers to join the likes of Rightists Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly in the subversion of the truth about 9-11.

Additionally, some law professor on CHB, named Paul Campos, even called 911 skeptics "pathetic lunatics." Sorry, Paul; We in the 911 Truth Movement possess most, if not all, of the physical facts on our side. Indeed, in an unbiased court of law (If one could be found in America), your side would lose. I truly hope you teach law better than your knowledge of the laws of gravity indicates.

Notable Leftist Cockburn wrote: "You trip over one fundamental idiocy of the 9/11 conspiracy nuts in the first paragraph of the book by one of their high priests, David Ray Griffin, The New Pearl Harbor."

Griffin has only written two well-researched books detailing the flaws in the official government story of 911 - which Cockburn presumably defends.

Unfortunately, several of the writers at Counterpunch - more and more everyday - happen to believe 9-11 was a blatant inside job. Former CIA insider Bill Christison recently defended the Truth Movement (Stop Belittling the Theories About September 11), joining former Reaganite Paul Craig Roberts among other outspoken critics.

Really, you could label the die hard believers of the government version of 9-11 events, the Left Behind crew. They disbelieve their government in every other facet - except 9-11.

Sad.

No, the truth is never the sole property of the majority. Not even the property of me. The truth is not owned. No highly-paid government expert, flack, blogger or shill can influence it, no matter how widely reported. No matter how highly lauded.

Falling buildings do not erupt in pyroclastic flows. Beams do not eject like cinders from Mount St. Helen's. And no true patriots embrace falsehood simply because a larger, more cowardly crew serving a band of criminals has forsaken common sense.

These days I'm more inclined to believe in the Holy Trinity, Resurrection and Virgin birth than in the official government version of 9-11. Conspiracy nut?

EXACTLY - I WELCOME THE HONOR.

Syria correctly blames inhuman US policy

Al Jazeera + FPF commenta

Tom Casey, US State Dep't deputy spokesman, in utter state of denial: "I would certainly reject the notion that the United States, the international community or anyone working to help bring prosperity, to help bring peace and to help bring democracy to the Middle East, is the cause of violence. It's clearly the opposite way."

SYRIA CORRECTLY BLAMES INHUMAN US POLICY

by Henk Ruyssenaars - Senior foreign correspondent

FPF - Sept. 13th 2006 - The comment by Tom Casey, the US State Department deputy spokesman, concerning the attack on the US embassy in Syria, sums it all up: the americans and other nitwits who make remarks like this, really are more stupid or lying through their teeth than normal people thought was possible. According to this US spokesman the United States is great and good, bringing us in the rest of the world prosperity, peace, and helps to bring democracy to the Middle East. What a lot of malignant crap!

This creature - and others who think and/or say like Casey - refuse to see the mountains of corpses of their victims, which they call 'collateral damage', in the by them illegally occupied countries, and must be totally dumb and blind. Just look at what the war machine's killers are doing to Afghanistan, Iraq, and Lebanon. I've been seeing worldwide that every bullet and every bomb used against people resisting occupation, breeds more terrorism!

Logical: you violently occupy my country and threaten to kill my family and me too? Well, since it seems to be the only way to stop you and your murdering mercenaries, I'll try to kill you first. It's called - and legally fully correct - self defense and resistance. What the US criminals and their Mammon-Moloch have done and still do is a global war OF terrorism.

STILL WAITING FOR AN ANSWER

I have already before the PNAC's 'inside job' of 9/11 2001 asked a question in many american and global fora on Internet, from Tokyo to Timbuktu and from the North Cape to Cape Town: ''Please name one country in the whole world, where under the influence of the US - their UN, World Bank and/or IMF and it's so called 'aid' - the standard of living for the LOCAL population has become better. Where there's better medicare, health insurance, public transport and works, education, economy etc. for the whole native population? I've put the question internationally many times, but after five years I'm still waiting for an answer.

Personally I've never seen such a country, but for instance saw the war in Vietnam, how their war machine tried to devastate South East Asia and what the US did to Chile and the rest of Latin America. And how they are further raping Africa now, where I've lived for ten years.

BLEEDING THE EUROPEAN UNION

And daily I can see how they and their vile collaborators bleed the 25 countries of the European Union. Everywhere in the world the US policy leads to a deterioration of the quality of life for 99% of the people: only the international bankers and their criminal collaborators enjoy new wealth and an abundance of the material possessions and resources they steal. In my more than four decades working as an independent foreign correspondent, I've a lot of the global death and destruction done by the US and it's economical 'policy': the strangling of - and stealing from - humanity. The group doing this to the world is the worst plague ever to have struck mankind. They are worse than
cancer, tsunamis, aids, earthquakes and other disasters together: what they have done to us in the rest of the world is absolutely inhumane and unbelievable.

THE BIGGEST CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY EVER

Based on experience I must say that their money system, fueled by the privately owned Federal Reserve where they make so called 'fiat money' - dollars of which the 'worth' is make-believe - out of green ink and paper. This Federal Reserve is 'federal' nor' 'reserve': it is one of the biggest crimes against humanity ever by the international bankers who know no decency nor human rights. Url.: http://www.apfn.org/apfn/reserve.htm

Their mainstream media propagandists and brain dead jerks like Tom Casey, the US State Dep't spokesman, try to cover up 24/7 that globally US/UK banking policies were and are to blame for most of the wars and misery in our world. They wreck it and we must pay the price. As slaves or cannon fodder. But the wave of resistance keeps growing, how much ever their global propaganda machine tries to keep it out of the news. Killing journalist too, like Gary Webb who they said 'committed suicide' with TWO shots in the head. The millions of people everywhere who protest and demonstrate are convinced that the US/Israeli war machine must be stopped, and right they are. The war crime tribunals are awaiting those who can survive the rightful anger and revenge by the victims and their
families.*   

The US war machine with it's collaborators in their 'Coalition of the Killing' is rightfully blamed. No wonder 'they' slyly bought and started al Jazeera International to more influence the information. Their influence - contrary to what their propaganda and pimping parrots like Casey say - is malignant and should be stopped s soon as is possible. - Url.

SYRIA BLAMES US POLICIES FOR ATTACK

ELEVEN BYSTANDERS WERE WOUNDED IN THE ATTACK

Al Jazeera - Wednesday 13 September 2006 - Syria has accused the US of fueling extremism and terrorism in the Middle East after four attackers stormed the US embassy in Damascus. The Syrian embassy in Washington said in a statement on Tuesday that US policies in the Middle East have fueled extremism, terrorism and anti-US sentiment. "What has happened recently in Lebanon, the Palestinian territories and Iraq is exacerbating the fight against global terrorism.

"The US should take this opportunity to review its policies in the Middle East and start looking at the root causes of terrorism, and broker a comprehensive peace in the Middle East," the statement said. Tom Casey, the US State Department deputy spokesman, dismissed the suggestion that US policies were to blame.    "I would certainly reject the notion that the United States, the international community or anyone working to help bring prosperity, to help bring peace and to help bring democracy to the Middle East, is the cause of violence. It's clearly the opposite way."

The Bush administration has previously often vilified Syria, which it says supports the Lebanese Shia group Hezbollah, and accuses it of harboring terrorists and fomenting unrest in Iraq. Washington withdrew its ambassador to Damascus
after the assassination of Rafiq al-Hariri, the former Lebanese prime minister, last year. Syria denied findings of a UN probe which implicated its intelligence services in the killing. - [HR: Syria is right - Url.: tinyurl.com/gn43p]

US PRAISE

The Syrian embassy's statement came just hours after Condoleezza Rice, the US secretary of state, and the White House, offered praise for the Syrian security forces for foiling Tuesday's attack. "What has happened recently in Lebanon, the Palestinian territories and Iraq is exacerbating the fight against global terrorism" Rice said during a visit
to Canada that she was grateful for the Syria's actions.

"We appreciate the response of the Syrian security forces to  help secure our territory. I was very grateful that the attack did not succeed, "she said. - [Rice is a danger to humanity - Url.: tinyurl.com/jkplz]

The White House emphasized that the incident highlighted the importance of Damascus' aid in fighting extremism. "We are hoping they will become an ally and make the choice of fighting against terrorists," said Tony Snow, the White House spokesman.

THE ATTACK

Television footage of the scene on Tuesday showed a van packed with gas canisters and detonators taped to them, as well as bloodstains on the pavement and several damaged vehicles, including a white, bullet riddled car. "I would certainly reject the notion that the United States ... is the cause of violence. It's clearly the opposite way" Tom Casey, US State Department deputy spokesman Ayman Abdel-Nour, a Syrian political commentator who was in the area, said: "I saw two men in plain clothes and armed with grenades and automatic weapons. "They ran toward the compound shouting religious slogans while firing their automatic rifles."

The attack, one day after the fifth anniversary of al-Qaeda's attacks on the US, was the first such shooting and bombing assault on an embassy in Damascus. The official Syrian Arab News Agency said that three assailants were killed in Tuesday's attack and a fourth was wounded. Eleven bystanders were wounded, including an Iraqi couple and a senior Chinese diplomat. A member of the Syrian security services was killed.

The Rawda district where the attack occurred is one of the most heavily guarded parts of the Syrian capital. It houses
security installations and the homes of government officials.

AS SAID BEFORE: NEVER BELIEVE WHAT THEY SAY: ALWAYS LOOK AT THEIR DEEDS.

AND NEVER BELIEVE ANYTHING ANY GOVERNMENT SAYS, UNTIL THEY START DENYING IT...

When for centuries it is shown that the group which is in charge of the US and allies like Israel do never respect any kind of conventions, laws nor our human rights anywhere: how can they expect that we will respect any of those rights when it's their turn? It probably will look like this everywhere - Url.: tinyurl.com/95nk2

They should remember what 2005 Nobel Literature Prize winner Harold Pinter stated: "People do not forget. They do not forget the death of their fellows, they do not forget torture and mutilation, they do not forget injustice, they do not forget oppression, they do not forget the terrorism of mighty powers. They not only don't forget: they also strike back." - Url.: tinyurl.com/9cyeq

I've said it earlier: the 'Project for a New American Century' is sinking so fast that only the blood besmirched US/Israeli flag is still visible above the ruins in many countries, the genocides, the immense killing fields and it's cemeteries and the globally growing waves of the intense contempt of billions of human beings who abhor what they see and what has been done to them.

Within six years the US/Israeli 'management' and its war machine have been unveiled: the blood of it's victims has definitely washed away the Potemkin façade of the US/Israeli power and war machine.

SO: HOW THE HELL DO THOSE WAR CRIMINALS THINK THAT THEY CAN EVER SURVIVE THIS?

DON'T THEY KNOW THE TIDE ALWAYS TURNS?

THAT THEIR NUMBER IS COMING UP?
