Between this story and the one I saw on MSNBC news this morning tying together N. Korea with an aerial photo of a supposed nuclear facility of some sort in Syria, well . . . seems like something's up to further along the neocons' pre-planned agenda to get into Iran & Syria by way of Iraq . . . and create all-hell in the Middle East. But maybe just another coincidence. Betsy

US Planes and Choppers Cross Pak Border, Violating Air Space Aiding In Battle Against Rebel Forces:

By Muhammad Khurshid

US-led NATO forces, Pakistani troops and militants have started exchanging fire in Bajaur Agency, tribal areas situated on Pak-Afghan border. The clashes, which claimed the live of dozens of people, have created great terror and fear in the areas. This time the coalition against terrorism is in disarray as NATO forces and Pakistani troops also exchanged firing.

William Rivers Pitt may not realize it yet, but he's building quite a case for 9/11 Truth - the motivation behind the crime. Cui bono?

In the Persian Gulf region, the presence of American forces, along with British and French units, has become a semi-permanent fact of life. Though the immediate mission of those forces is to enforce the no-fly zones over northern and southern Iraq, they represent the long-term commitment of the United States and its major allies to a region of vital importance. Indeed, the United States has for decades sought to play a more permanent role in Gulf regional security. While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein.

Japanese Senator for 9/11 Truth Calls for Movement to Step Beyond Internet – Steve Alten Answers the Call

by Bill Douglas Page 1 of 2 page(s)

http://www.opednews.com

Japanese Senator, Yukihisa Fujita, a member of the main opposition party in Japan, gained world renown through non-US media and in the US via youtube, for his assertion on national Japanese television that 9/11 was an inside job. He recently spoke several times about the importance of www.PatriotsQuestion911.org in waking him up to the lies of 9/11. He stated that the architects, engineers and physicists like Professor Jones have made the case of controlled demolition well, and now it is time for politicians to be organized, and connect internationally and make joint petitions to the US Government or Congress, and to request the United Nations have independent investigations of 9/11.

Dick Cheney’s Song of America

The Plan is for the United States to rule the world. The overt theme is unilateralism, but it is ultimately a story of domination. It calls for the United States to maintain its overwhelming military superiority and prevent new rivals from rising up to challenge it on the world stage. It calls for dominion over friends and enemies alike. It says not that the United States must be more powerful, or most powerful, but that it must be absolutely powerful.

http://nuoviso.com/movieDetail_911falseflag.htm

The German documentary, "Unter Falscher Flagge" has now been subtitled in English, and is streaming at the film-maker's website. It's a high-quality stream, but is cumbersome to load. I recommend hitting the pause button, and let the film pre-load to avoid annoying stop and starts. (I've just been advised that it will soon be uploaded to video.google)

Despite the punchy stream, I recommend watching the film. It is filled with new interviews with German 9/11 skeptics Andreas von Bülow, Mathias Bröckers, Manfred Petrisch, Andreas Hauss, and Jochen Scholz. The film also briefly examines London's 7/7 and several possible False Flag incidents in post-9/11 Germany, (look around the 55:00 minute mark), some interesting new information to consider.

Slick, with interesting animated graphics and high production value, this is a good documentary. I noticed two things that weren't 100% accurate, the documentary claims that Stratasec (Securacom) "belonged" to Marvin Bush. Technically, he was only one of the Directors. Also, the film mistakenly attributes ABC to General Electric ownership, but GE+owns+NBC. Disney owns ABC. The point is still valid however, the same people making millions from war profiteering are selling you war propaganda.

The DVD for sale at the NuoViso website has the English subtitles.

The End of Privacy

By Elliot Cohen

25/01/08 "Truthdig" -- -- Amid the controversy brewing in the Senate over Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) reform, the Bush administration appears to have changed its strategy and is devising a bold new plan that would strip away FISA protections in favor of a system of wholesale government monitoring of every American’s Internet activities. Now the national director of intelligence is predicting a disastrous cyber-terrorist attack on the U.S. if this scheme isn’t instituted...[cut]

Not *directly* related to 9/11, but it touches on the PNAC "new Pearl Harbor" memorandum. This is a good viral video to spread to people outside of the awareness of 9/11 truth, to prime them that there are forces in our government that have military expansion on their mind, at any cost....

It strikes me as ironic and disingenious at best that Maher and Klein will discuss how the "Shock" of 911 was used to push a political and corporate agenda and not acknowedge PNAC.

here is the link to the interview
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1211942793628876800&q=bill+maher...

From PNAC:
"the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event -- like a new Pearl Harbor."

Why is it OK with the left to talk about how goverment and corporations collude for finacial gain and/or to consolditate and project political power but never 911??

The policy of preemptive war was hatched by this group and no one in the mainstream left seems willing to admit that a temptation for a false flag event even exists? At a bare minimum LIHOP should be mentioned.

Connecting these dots seems so obvious to me and yet Bill takes a huge crap on 911 truthers then respectfully discusses the Shock Doctrine with Ms Klein!

Andrew Marshall brings a Canadian's perspective to the discussion of the Military-Industrial-Complex, PNAC, and 9/11 in the Journal of 9/11 Studies. Andrew also discusses the North American Union in this context. His paper is based on a talk he gave at the Vancouver, BC, conference in June 2007. (I heard his talk and invited him to present this as a paper to the Journal.) He brings fresh insights as a university student, and he noted to me that he benefited greatly from the peer-review process.

Please note that the editors of the Journal of 9/11 Studies WELCOME articles by university students.
From the paper:

Updated: 9/2/2007

I was taking a look at "Rebuilding America's Defenses" today, and I noticed the phrase, "Process Of Transformation" is mentioned SEVERAL times.

Page 12
In addition, the process of transformation must proceed from an appreciation of American strategy and political goals.

Page 13
Moreover, the process of transformation should proceed in a spirit of competition among the services and between service and joint approaches.

and...

While it is certain that new technologies will allow for the closer combination of traditional service capabilities, it is too early in the process of transformation to choke off what should be the healthy and competitive face of "interservice rivalry."

and...

Finally, it must be remembered that the process of transformation is indeed a process: even the most vivid view of the armed forces of the future must be grounded in an understanding of today's forces.

and...

John Bolton gets questioned on his PNAC affiliations.

Helen Thomas talks about the PNAC with Wolf Blitzer.

Charles Rangel brings up the PNAC on Hannity & Colmes.

Dr. Frank Legge has published an excellent article “Conspiracy Theories, Myths, Skepticism, and 9/11: their Impact on Democracy” in the Journal of 9/11 Studies, today. It passed peer review prior to publication.

It begins thus: “Abstract: A discussion of conspiracy theories, myths and skepticism is presented. The importance of skepticism in a society in which myths may be deliberately created by authorities to manipulate the public is stressed. A range of methods of avoiding acceptance of myths, including application of the scientific method, is demonstrated using the events of 9/11. A clear understanding of events, unclouded by myths, is essential for the proper functioning of a democracy.

Anyone remember this?

"Long before "9/11 changed everything", former Secretary of the Treasury Paul O'Neill reveals that within days of taking office, President Bush was already planning the invasion of Iraq and the overthrow of Saddam."

Polls continue to show many Americans believe Iraq had something to with the attacks and many people see the Iraq war as a response to 9/11. Paul O'Neill was very clear about the Iraq agenda being rolled out 10 days into the first term.

The following CBS clip really needs to be included on any 9/11 DVD material that is being compiled.

"It was all about finding a way to do it. That was the tone of it. The president saying ‘Go find me a way to do this,’" says O’Neill. “For me, the notion of pre-emption, that the U.S. has the unilateral right to do whatever we decide to do, is a really huge leap.”

-------------------------------------------------------------

Also ABC News:

This is a mind-boggling interview with Lewis Paul Bremer III (who ended up as the pro-council of Iraq.)

On 09/11/01 Bremer was the Chairman and CEO of Marsh Political Risk Practice which had offices in the WTC as did its parent company Marsh USA. They had a total of 1,700 employees assigned to the WTC. Bremer, himself, had an office in the South Tower. Nonetheless, this "counter-terrorism expert" makes no mention of any of this only three hours after the first plane flew directly into seven of the eight floors of WTC 1 occupied by Marsh USA. He is here on television prognosticating about who will turn out to be the culprits, with calm detachment. What is wrong with this picture?

Click here to watch 'George-Bush-calls-Bill-Bennett'
In case you hadn't heard, earlier this week, PNAC signatory William Bennett hung up on the 'Decider' as he was reminding the American people of his call not to believe "outrageous conspiracy theories" and coming out as a "Truther" by making clear statements that the Zelikow report fit this description perfectly. I can't believe it wasn't on the front page of the New York Times. One of the POTUS's and GWOT's biggest backers rudely hung up on him and his message. Although I am not holding my breath on the MSM to remedy this situation, I do think the 9-11 Truth and Justice community owes Bennett a barage of utterance (1-866-680-6464, 6-9am weekdays EST). How often is it that you get a chance to talk live with a PNAC member in front of multitudes around the country?

On a more serious tip...
With the threats flying hot and heavy, taking a hold of the people's airwaves and reaching multitudes by calling talk radio shows is a very potent pre-emptive tool. Call up and say that if there is another attack in the U.S., the first suspects we will look to are the members of the Bush administration especially Cheney, all signatories to the PNAC letter and anyone who has given a vague warning or threat of future attacks (Brezinski, Santorum et al.). If you record it, you will have created another type of chain-of-evidence pointing towards motive and intention. Moreover, if we explain that We the People intend to use the full measure of the Law and Justice to rectify this situation, it might possibly give anyone who's thinking of being complicit (commission and ommission both) in murderous and treasonous atrocities a second thought. I haven't been able to lay this out clearly on air yet. Here are a couple examples of somewhat successful 9-11 Truth calls:

Click here to watch 'Medved-show-w--terrorism-expert--Victor-Mordecai-'

Click here to watch 'Bill-Bennett--False-flag-terrorism---this-is-going-nowhere-'

Its crucial to keep opening up the conversation in the public sphere (as Keith Ellison and Paul Craig Roberts are doing very well from both the left and the right). This is really what this movement is about in many ways, the power of Truth and the possibility of transforming the dialogue. It's strength and our strength lies in the power of communication and openness rather than silence and secrecy. The tools of violence are clearly weighted towards the perpetraitors (though millions of American people dedicated to upholding the 2nd ammendment, representing the largest armed civilian force on the planet, have our backs if neccesary). But it is no coincidence that the 1st ammendment is 1st in power and preference. The tools of transformative sound, word and image are deeply weighted in our favor (despite the current corporatist stranglehold on the MSM) as evidenced by the recent powerful Truth fleecings of Congress members Susan Save-it! and John McCan't.

I was listening to this new Ron Paul interview and caught his mention of PNAC's now infamous "Pearl Harbor like event."

He was asked about his stance on the War on Terror. He said that it should be treated as a crime event and that the Neo-Con's were waiting "in the wings" to pounce on Iraq and the middle east. He then goes on to say that a think tank even talked about a "pearl harbor like event." This is positive in that it shows Paul has read all about PNAC and knows what they are up to. On the other hand, he still hasn't put 2 and 2 together about the Neo-Cons and 9/11.

Listen to the whole thing if your interested, but this comment is around 32 minutes in.

(Discussion thread started at the Blogger+Board.)

Eric Alterman has written extensively on the false claims of liberal media bias. He seems to be on the correct side of most issues, but here's a clip from his latest post:

If you wanted to find the root problem of how and why the Bush administration has screwed up the world, the answer I think lies less in the fact of 9-11 than in the opportunity that 9-11 gave the neocons to implement a strategy they that long sought. This is not even remotely to say the same thing as the fact that they planned or allowed 9-11 to happen. (I once had to leave the Air America studio while co-hosting with Janeane G because she was buying into this argument sans, of course, evidence.) It is merely to note that had it not been 9-11, it would likely have been something else. And you can find its most pristine expression here from the man Matt Y called "America's Worst Pundit," Charles Krauthammer, who announced in February 2001: "America is no mere international citizen. It is the dominant power in the world, more dominant than any since Rome. Accordingly, America is in a position to reshape norms, alter expectations and create new realities. How? By unapologetic and implacable demonstrations of will."

Am I the only one who detects more than a whiff of fascism in this naked celebration of the triumph of "will"?

No, not the PNAC (A Project For A New American Citizen), the evil nasty PNAC (Project For The New American Century).

Liberty’s New Husband

At the end of an era there were two beautiful sisters, one named Liberty the other named Conscience. Conscience was not as strikingly beautiful as Liberty, but the little she lacked in beauty she more than made up for with intellect.

Liberty was wealthy, honest, and her incredible beauty radiated from within. She was courted by an urban cowboy who went by the name of Awesome Powers, but no-one knew who he really was. Awesome’s friends called him AP, and once Liberty and Awesome were married, Liberty called him AP too.

AP earned a modest income by clearing brush from the neighbours’ yards. However, AP appeared to have unlimited resources arising from business arrangements with his friends and his father’s connections. Besides AP’s brush clearing business, the group of friends controlled many other businesses and had all kinds of mysterious and complicated financial dealings.

Liberty thought she would live the good life with AP.

I entered a post from the worldreports.org site earlier this year on the very bizarre allegations of mega scale financial corruption in the US. See http://www.911blogger.com/node/5345

The story continues to unfold on that website that is scarely reported on, even in the alternative media on the internet. I have been amazed though at the increasing influence of readers of 911blogger.com and the 9-11 Truth movement in general.

I would like to draw people’s attention again to the latest update on that site entitled:
WANTAGATE: GRANDFATHER OF CORRUPTION SCANDALS
WORST FINANCIAL CORRUPTION CRISIS IN WORLD HISTORY

In particular lower down the page to the section on the THE 'MULTIPLE ENQUIRY' OBFUSCATION TECHNIQUE.

In this the writer Christopher Story describes the technique in the European Parliament of dealing with controversies by creating a “public enquiry” which drags on for months without making conclusions, but forms another related enquiry and then another – all of which remain “under investigation” without ever concluding anything.

A Project for the New American Citizen invites you to Rebuilding America’s Senses, a two-day conference aimed at exposing state- sponsored terrorism and its application in staged false-flag operations. By understanding these two fundamental concepts, one can better comprehend how governments have historically used fear and even terrorism as a means to control their populations. The conference will be organized around the historical and present use of state-sponsored terrorism, as well as its inevitable use in the future. It is our belief that a citizenry who is aware of such tactics will not be so easily coerced into supporting another unjustifiable war and continued degradation of their rights. By attending this free conference you will hear from a number of prestigious speakers, drawn from all over the country, provide irrefutable physical and socio-scientific proof that Western governments have indeed been behind the major terrorist events of our lives, including the attacks of September 11th, the 7/7 bombings in London, the Oklahoma City bombing and many more.

“The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous, he cannot believe it exists”

- J. Edgar Hoover, FBI Director 1923-1972

Working out how to start this post was pretty hard. As I am well aware, having been in the same position myself not too long ago, the idea that 9/11 was an inside job may seem too ludicrous to be countenanced. So let me start by saying 3 things: firstly, it is an idea that is now believed by 50 % of the 9/11 victim’s families http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/july2006/080706governmentcomplicit.htm

I just came across this movie posted on Google. This half hour film is presented part in the spirit of Loose Change and part Oil, Smoke and Mirrors. It is not the best 9/11 film out there, but is a decent introduction to some of the basic issues. The first half covers the PNAC-type background, while the second half concerns the events of the day of 9/11 and its aftermath. John O'Neill gets lots of love in here. There is a bizarre DC sniper segue that I didn't understand. I think I have seen this before, but the explosion at the 21:22 minute mark is AMAZING.

One of the most watched, discussed videos raises questions of activist tactics

Aaron Dykes/ Jones Report | October 6, 2006

A large group of activists confronted PNAC chairman William Kristol during a speaking engagement at the University of Texas held Tuesday. They sought to confront him on the Project for a New American Century's odd statement published in September 2000 that their recommendations for military escalation would be difficult to achieve failing a "catastrophic and catalyzing event" such as a "new Pearl Harbor." (pg. 51, "Rebuilding America's Defenses")

"We know that y'all did it!"

William Kristol, chairman of the Project for a New American Century (founded in 1997) spoke at the University of Texas in Austin about the current political climate and the "new order" or "new world" that emerged after 9/11. He was confronted by a large number of protesters who carry banners and question his role in 9/11. The event was covered by the Daily Texan.

Protests, insults disrupt Kristol 9/11 speech

A speech by William Kristol, former chief of staff for former vice president Dan Quayle and editor of The Weekly Standard magazine, turned hostile Tuesday when students began hurling insults at Kristol, alleging his and the U.S. government's complicity in the Sept. 11 attacks.

"9/11 is your Pearl Harbor," said one student protestor, referring to a pre-Sept. 11 statement released by the Project for a New American Century, a conservative think tank Kristol chairs.

In a Sept. 2000 report titled "Rebuilding America's Defenses, " the group wrote, "Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor."

Some of the student protestors are members of the new UT student organization, Project for the New American Citizen, but the group did not officially organize the protest, said founder Matt Dayton. The nonpartisan, anti-imperialism group encourages people to seek out truthful information regarding the U.S. government's policies and actions, said Dayton, an art studio and radio-television-film junior. The group's name is a counter to Kristol's neoconservative think tank...

Better get used to it, Kristol. Thanks, Steve.

I'm sure most here are familiar with PNAC's "Rebuilding America's Defenses (RAD)" paper, which states "...the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event — like a new Pearl Harbor." However, we never hear much about an Israeli policy paper that preceded PNAC's RAD plan by four years entitled "A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm".

The excerpt from the article below explains how Israel's "Clean Break" policy paper and PNAC's "RAD" plan are intimately related:

ONCE A COMPANY MAN, ALWAYS A COMPANY MAN, September 6, 2006

[SNIP]

The $64,000.00 question of “Who done it?“ is found in the brainchild of Richard Perle and Benjamin Netanyahu…”A Clean Break”, the founding document of PNAC.

A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm

Commonly referred to as the "Clean Break" report, was prepared in 1996 by a study group led by Richard Perle. The other participants were James Colbert, Charles Fairbanks, Jr, Douglas Feith, Robert Loewenberg, Jonathan Torop, David Wurmser and Meyrav Wurmser
