Opium

Here is every article I've collected about opium production in Afghanistan following our invasion. Some have speculated that opium production was one of the main reasons we invaded Afghanistan. The idea is, a large percentage of drug money gets laundered through the American Banking System, as well as Wall Street. Sen. Carl Levin once said:

Current estimates are that $500 billion to $1 trillion in illegal funds are laundered through banks worldwide each year, with about half going through U.S. financial institutions.

At the time of our invasion, Afghanistan opium production was at an all time low because the Taliban managed to destroy a large percentage of the opium crops.

However, Mullah Omar said that if the U.S. were to invade, the farmers will be allowed to grow opium.

How lucky for "U.S. financial institutions."

I recommend the writings of Peter Dale Scott with regard to the drug trade.

Time to switch horses?

Well, honestly, how about staying or getting back on the horse that got us this far, the truth.

Its a danger to expend to much energy on any candidate. We understood just a year ago that we were our only hope. Somewhere along the way, somehow many were led to believe that a candidate could save us. What changed that part of the ideology for some of the 9/11 re-investigation community, i don't know. But i think we would be wise to:

a) readdress any significant relocated energies away from any candidate and back to getting truth and justice, helping save and improve the country and helping remove "the post-9/11" from the word world.

b) examine exactly who, if any, is the political horse(or pony?) fitting our support. Consider the following:

Mike Gravels' latest statement on 9/11, following his recent statement that it wouldn't hurt to have a new investigation, to Student Scholars for Truth:

"9/11 Inside Job" Banner Seen Live by Global TV Audience but Removed by YouTube

Good day,

The following video was submitted to YouTube by East Anglia Truth following their removal of the clips of Corinne Bailey Rae performing "I'd Like to" at the recent Live Earth concert in London.

The clips featured a brief, but clear, view of the "9/11 Inside Job" banner that the East Anglia Truthers had taken to the stadium in the hope this would be captured. This indeed was broadcast live across the globe, however, it appears that its presence is no longer welcome on youtube and it is interesting that its removal shortly followed comments that had been posted on the page alerting other viewers to the banner.

Ms. Goodman, Multiudes and Multitudes of People Around the World Get to Hear Your Words, You Deserve to as Well!

From wikipedia:

...Goodman also writes a weekly column called "Breaking the Sound Barrier," for King Features Syndicate. In her first piece, released October 24, 2006, she wrote, "My column will include voices so often excluded, people whose views the media mostly ignore, issues they distort and even ridicule."

P.S. Open letter coming soon

did the BBC have a warning about 911?

On September 11 2001 I was watching BBC breakfast news at about 8am GMT from my hotel room in Manchester UK, I saw the business presenter Declan Curry make reference to someone ringing in to ask about a crash on the stock market - he laughed this off saying there was no chance of this happening.

6 hrs later the attacks started and as the horror unfolded I couldnt but help remember what the BBC presenter had said about the crash on the stockmarket.

Should this be proven true, the BBC in England may have received a cryptic warning about the attack 6 hours before it happened.

the BBC so far has not responded to any emails about this question.

Firefighters' criticism deemed "factually questionable"

7/13/07

When the International Association of Fire Fighters, the nation's largest firefighters union, released a video on July 12 challenging the portrayal of former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani as a hero of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, New York Times reporter Marc Santora rushed to put out the anti-Giuliani fire. His July 12 story's lead cast doubt on the accuracy of the group's claims, calling the video "at times factually questionable."

The New 9/11 Casualties

After the World Trade Center fell, 40,000 rescue and cleanup workers spent months inhaling the toxic dust at ground zero. Many are now falling sick. Were they properly warned about the dangers?
7/13/2007

What was in the air at ground zero?
When the towers came crashing down, the weight of the buildings pulverized everything inside—including thousands of tons of insulation, drywall, concrete, glass, plastics, 50,000 computers and other pieces of office equipment—into a fine powder. The toxic dust was laced with asbestos, mercury, silica, fiberglass, lead, PCBs, chromium, jet fuel, and other potentially hazardous materials, and for weeks, fires smoldered in the tangled wreckage, cooking and dispersing the poisons into the air. Scientists who’ve studied samples of the dust say that some of it was as toxic as drain cleaner. For months, firefighters, cops, construction workers, and volunteers inhaled these toxins while working on “the pile,” looking for survivors and carting away the tons of debris.

Didn’t they wear respirators?

Alex Jones: End Game Sneak Preview at the Alamo Drafthouse

http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-3488134279546734397

In this special video feature we see Alex Jones' presentation of Terror Storm: Final Cut and a sneak peek of his upcoming film End Game to an audience at the Alamo Draft House in Austin, Texas. This footage includes a fantastic live performance from Graham Reynolds & The Golden Arm Trio as well as questions and comments from those in attendance.

Alex explains the vision behind End Game and takes questions on a variety of different topics, including the North American Union and the border, Rick Perry's visit to this year's Bilderberg Group conference, the elite's religion of death and the timetable for war with Iran and why it seems like the build-up has been going on forever. At the end of the talk, Alex meets some of his fans who traveled a long way to see him in person.

Olbermann: Michael Chertoff's Gut

Olbermann basically sees Chertoff as a propaganda minister, throwing up a diversion for Bush.
I hope you're right Olbermann.
