about Britney Spears? I don't even know anyone who cares about her. Just another dysfunctional pop celebrity, "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing". Other than a dysfunctional mass media, of course.

It says something that the more or less progressive "fake news" shows that discuss real issues probably have far higher ratings than "real news" shows discussing fake issues.

IMO, there's a very nice market niche for 'real news' shows discussing 'real issues' for the first group that can figure out how to tap into it.

it go? huge coverup + wonder how many r implicated + may prevent any investigation of this.

high-ranking government, CIA and FBI officials have serious questions about the official 9/11 story and are calling for a new investigation. These are not CT'ers but former insiders who have a variety of sources and information that lead them to suspect that what Sibel Edmonds and other whistleblowers are pointing at is quite serious, endemic, and goes all the way to the top.

I highly recommend the web site in my sig: Patriots Question 9/11. It presents the kind of responsible questioning and doubts that our democratic process need more of these days.

Thank you for your work on this issue. Investigative journalist and impeachment activist Dave Lindorf also adds some other pieces of the puzzle.

For fuck's sake.  I'd strangle that man for collaborating in the destruction of this country if I could.  It's what a soldier would do in a time of war.  But I just can't.

God this just makes me so ill.

I am speechless...
We are surrounded.
Unbef^ckinglievable...

If what you say is true and they are inside, then what good would it do to bring you in?

If there were so many moles running around, one of them could have gotten hold of the date & details for the joint services anti-terrorism drills that occurred on 9/11/2001.  

And then that information could have made its way back to Bin Laden, who then chose that date for his attack, to take advantage of potential chaos and confusion between the real attack and the drill.  

Note that this is not a conspiracy theory: it's a "crappy security" theory, a "one person leaked to a mole" theory, and that's all.  And it's hardly a stretch of the imagination, since we know the Bushies have a crappy track record protecting national security secrets, and now via Edmonds we know that the Regime was rotten with moles in high places.  

If anything about that drill was leaked to a mole, and if that could be proven, impeachment wouldn't be the only thing "on the table."

Both of the chairmen of the 9-11 Commission just wrote in the NYT that their investigation was "obstructed" by "government officials".

Check out Kean and Hamilton's book, "Without Precedent: The Inside Story of the 9/11 Commission." The first sentence of the first chapter is, "We were set up to fail," and that pretty much sets the tone for the whole book. Stonewalled by the CIA, the White House, the Pentagon, and threatened by the FBI. Hell, one commissioner, Max Cleland, even resigned because of the obstruction. He told salon.com,

"We've had to subpoena the FAA. We've now had to subpoena documents from Norad, which they have not given us. I for one think we ought to subpoena the White House...

...

[W]hy doesn't this White House, which was on the bridge when the ship got attacked, why doesn't this White House want to know everything that happened on their watch so that it can't happen again? Why they want to play games with this commission, to make deals, I don't know. It's information control. It's not transparency.

I don't know if they're hiding something. But the public will never know and the 9/11 commission will never know..."

could be right about others.

I'm really skeptical about insinuations that Bush actually organized or caused 9/11, but I think we could find all sorts of scandalous things that would be shocking without being quite that shocking.

We know that the United States was openly providing financial support for the Taliban a few weeks before 9/11, and maybe there was some funny business involving that.

He created himself a billionaire by developing software in its infancy.  He worked for IBM and he offered it to them and they turned him down!

That's a nice myth, but Perot "made himself" a billionaire by getting the contract for computerizing the brand new Texas Medicare system, which he stole from IBM. He paid people to write new SW, or bought SW from IBM along with their machines to do it. That wouldn't be that interesting, except that it's different from the myth. And that Perot's presidential campaign prioritized eliminating exactly the kind of government healthcare that made him rich enough to threaten it.

Joseph Kennedy was as corrupt as Prescott Bush which just made them enemies on the political spectrum but rats in the same capitalistic disaster sewer.

I don't think that any of what Joe Kennedy did as a gangster, or as a politician, compares to what Prescott Bush did as a banker (including fund Hitler's rise) or, most likely, in secret, as a politician.

Perot nailed some populist truisms, and likely was indeed illegally threatened at least some by Bush. But he was also crazy, if not 100%. And though politics isn't at all the good vs evil partisan story we're told by one or another side, Republican evil typically makes Democratic evil look pretty mediocre.

of many of my positions in recent years - and indeed this is part of why I seem to get into arguments with so many fellow Kossacks as I just see a lot of things differently to what I once did

Peak Oil is a great filter to see things through as a different perspectives...

...being a European I also have a better perspective than most Americans on the multi-generational struggle against fascism that this whole thing is just a small part of.

Peak Oil is here.  It's effects include a near-total breakdown of the institutions of society.  There is a lot of understanding of this at the top.  Those in the know with the means are engaged in a rapid power grab and resource grab ahead of the world that is coming.

it was an excellent book.

How was the movie?

Thanks for the link!  Once again the movies rewrite history and call it art.

Thank you.

yes, its a conservative pub, but it has all the names of those who are involved in the creation of American Imperialism:

The War Whisperers

Change, unity, moving on... all cop-outs (that I expect full-well to hear if JE is not the president).
