This essay will reveal how the false flag operation of 9/11 will transform our nation and world away from a sick war based poverty imposing global order into an era of truth and hope that will begin a global healing unseen by humanity.
Being from Kansas and having written guest columns for the Kansas City Star, Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz metaphors come naturally for me. Fortunately for my essay, the Land of Oz metaphor is dead on.
About 40 percent of Americans have now woken up to the unfolding reality that facts regarding the 9/11/2001 attacks increasingly point to complicity at the highest levels of this current Bush Administration (Scripps-Howard Poll). For that 40 percent, and growing numbers of Americans, we now find ourselves living in the land of Oz. We have seen that the "great and powerful Oz," which sent us all scurrying for duct tape and stumbling all over ourselves to give up the precious civil liberties our father's fought for . . . is a manufactured illusion run by a few rather pathetic figures in this current administration, and at the top of our media . . . hiding behind an ever thinning curtain of diminishing credibility.
We see on the Sunday morning talk shows, and the "informed" guests they have on, whether Democrat or Republican, a discussion of a "terrorist threat" that we now know has been largely manufactured by the pathetic little men behind the control room curtains. The discord this sets up in our minds and hearts is hard to bear. We feel our minds pulled back into the matrix. Their flashy TV sets and well dressed "experts" try to help us forget what we know, that 9/11 was an inside job. They ask us day in and day out, to join them in the grand illusion that the "great and powerful terrorist threat," is a reality that really does demand endless hundreds of billions of military spending, illegal wars, and the destruction of our constitutional rights and liberties.
However, ultimately it is a good thing that is happening. The good this bizarre scenario is creating, is that for the first time in decades tens of millions of Americans are realizing that the corporate media that controls 99.999999% of the information read, heard or viewed in corporate media outlets (including so called "alternative" media) is part of a grand charade. A charade meant to fool us into sacrificing our children and our neighbor's children for wars of conquest, distorted with beautiful faces, Brooks Brothers Suits, and flashy video graphics, into "wars of democracy and freedom." We are beginning to see that squeezed in that "control booth behind the curtain" of the Great and Powerful Oz, is also this corporate media, which is increasingly looking desperate and pathetic as well.
The corruption of corporate media is a long lived reality. Perhaps it began in earnest with Kennedy's assassination. Why did the media choose not to interview key witnesses who saw shots coming from the grassy knoll, and courageously tried to apprehend those shooters before being stopped by Secret Service agents who gave the shooters time to escape? Why did the corporate media begin using the term "grassy knoll" as a derogatory slap at anyone questioning obvious lies our government has spewed upon us for decades? Even now, corporate media often uses the term "grassy knoll" to attack people demanding answers regarding the events on 9/11. Yes, corporate media has been a co-criminal in attacks on American democracy for decades.
In the 1980's I went to work under the auspices of the United Nations World Health Organization in Salvadoran and Guatemalan refugee camps in Central America. In the Salvadoran camp of Mesa Grande, home to 20,000 Salvadoran refugees, I discovered "not one single" person who'd been attacked by the FMLN rebels. ALL had been attacked by the US backed Salvadoran military which had been condemned by human rights groups worldwide for their brutality.
When I returned to my home in California a writer for the Orange County Register newspaper contacted me for an interview. When she asked if there was anything I wanted to convey to the readers, I replied, "The US media is giving the impression that the refugees in the Central American wars are 'caught in a cross-fire between rebels and govt. forces.' This is NOT true. The people there are being attacked by the US backed govt. forces, and not by the rebels. Americans need to know this before they give hundreds of millions of their hard earned tax dollars to this murderous Salvadoran regime we are supporting, and that couldn't exist without us."
Days later the article came out in a full page front page section, and I was excited to see it, until I read the first line of the first paragraph, "Huntington Beach man returns from Salvadoran refugee camps, where refugees caught in a 'cross-fire between rebel forces and Salvadoran govt. forces live.'"
I called the reporter, and before I could say anything, she blurted, "I'm sorry, that was the only way we could run the story. My editor said the story had to lead with that line, or we couldn't run the story." The US media had somehow been given marching orders that editors understood, that no article could openly challenge the distorted reality the govt. wanted us to believe. As a result millions were displaced, tens of thousands murdered, and Americans picked up the bill for this monstrous policy.
More recently, months after the 9/11/2001 attacks, I became aware of disturbing facts around 9/11, including the "insider stock" trading against United and American airlines the day before 9/11, that led to a CIA connected investment house that had once been headed by the Executive Directory of the CIA, Buzzy Krongard. The current director of this institution quietly resigned the day after 9/11, with no media scrutiny at all. $5 million were made there on insider knowledge of the coming attacks the next day, and even more bizarre is that half of those "winnings" are still uncollected. These and other facts were sent out to media worldwide.
One day I received a massive number of emails from people asking for more information regarding 9/11, and the possibility it was an inside job. Stunned, I contacted one of these people to find out how they'd gotten my email address, and found that my email address had been published in a major North American newspaper. The article had begun as a "grassy knoll" "tin foil hats" hit piece on 9/11 truth seekers, but oddly it listed point by point the disturbing facts around 9/11 I had collected and sent out. Then it said if you want more information on 9/11, contact ... and they gave my email address.
I called the reporter, who immediately apologized for the "hit piece" quality of the article. He said that in order to get the facts out about the disturbing questions around 9/11, he had to write it in the form of a hit piece in order to get it past his editor. He spoke of other reporters at major papers who'd already lost their jobs for critically analyzing the events of 9/11, and this was only a few months after 9/11/2001.
So, we know that media has been manipulating our thinking for decades to justify illegal wars of aggression all over the world causing untold misery and suffering. The latest war showed Bush and the US corporate media touting the testimony of Saddam Hussein's son-in-law, who'd defected from Iraq. They waved his testimony to justify our illegal attack on Iraq and mass murder of Iraqi civilians. The testimony they waved was about the Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Hussein's Iraq had developed. However, in that same document in the same testimony he revealed that ALL of those WMD had been destroyed before the first arms inspections years ago. He said that not only weapons were destroyed by also documents.
This is a huge revelation! Remember that Bush, et al, said that Hussein was hiding WMD because he would not produce the "paperwork." Hussein's son-in-law had testified that documents had been destroyed years before. He also testified, again, that the WMD had been destroyed. This administration, with the cooperation of the US media LIED US INTO AN ILLEGAL WAR. This is a war crime, committed by our media. There is no way they could have collectively gone blind half way down that document, to only see the WMD possession, and be completely blind to testimony in the SAME DOCUMENT that the WMD and documents had been destroyed.
Our corporate media was complicit in a crime of vast proportions. Their cover up of this information has led to the mass murder of tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians, thousands of US and coalition forces, and the loss of arms, legs, faces of young troops.

In the year 1905, Nobel physicist, Albert Einstein, published his E=mc˛ EQUATION, which opened the door to THE WORLD OF THE PROTON GENIE, the door to all of the abundant energy that Earth will ever need. But, nobody looked or listened except the Energy Cartel, which stood to loose its enormous wealth and power if Einstein's EQUATION should ever become implemented.
Many have attempted to implement Einstein's EQUATION, but even the most promising successful efforts are routinely thwarted.
In brief review, "E=mc˛" provides the basis for extracting and fusing PROTONS from ordinary, pure water, which will ultimately make everybody on Earth so idly rich and content from the benefits of this clean, virtually-free, and inexhaustible energy supply that nobody should ever again have to worry about pollution, war or poverty, and Mother Nature will once again regain total control of any Climate Changes.
The Atomic Doomsday Clock reads, "7 minutes until Doomsday, and counting!"
Is it too late? Or, will some ordinary, individual Tinkerer (maybe just an average high school student) rise to the occasion and construct a simple physical demonstration of Einstein's EQUATION so that the entire World Population can become enlightened to the prospect of a new future of peace, contentment, and prosperity? Anything less will fail to uncork the PROTON GENIE for the benefit of mankind because "The Special Energy Interests" have sufficient resources to thwart any individual efforts to provide Cheap Power.

wowie zowie !
thanks, kampers, for the many kind words of
support/solidarity you provided concerning my UNANTICIPATED 'publication' in counterpunch of
a PRIVATE email sent to a third party ! ! ! how ....... rude is that?
(almost as rude as me,
hee hee hee
ho ho ho
ha ha ha
ak ak ak )
if i had known i was destined to play a punching bag in alex's little playpen, i CERTAINLY would have been a little less profane (not that i feel it isn't deserved), and a little more 'fact-based', rather than
just hitting back (um, counterpunching?) the low blows of their dismissive attitudes...
i guess one of the things that makes me the maddest, is that putatively skeptical and suspicious progressives who should analyze/question EVERYTHING, EVERY gummint EVER says/claims, are
laying down like lambs concerning nine one one...
ain't it just weird (they tell themselves?): EVERYTHING king george ii and kourt said about nine one one just *happened* to be the ONLIEST thing they ever told us the twoof about... how odd is that...
goo-goo-gaa-gaa-burble-burble
the dismissive, superior attitude of whats-her-name, cockburn, rothschild, and a couple morons on alternet, is the antithesis of whata 'good' progressive should take: they don't KNOW a god damn thing themselves -except what they've been told by 'authority',
stakeholders, and twue bewievers- but they can say everyone else is
wrong with absolute certainty... sounds like a twue bwue reich-winger to me !
ASSUMING it metaphysically *WAS* an 'inside job', SHOULDN'T EVERY GOOD amerikan who realizes that be absolutely horrified, and to the point of pitchforks and torches in the streets ? ? ?
evidently not, according to the ultra-cynical, the tres-kool, the oh-so-bored-by-it-all mr cockburn, who evidently only gets worked up when someone threatens a remote creek/fishing hole that only he and a handful of fellow-travelers will ever see...
thanks again, kampers; sorry for performing a small -if unwitting - part in portraying nine one one skeptics as unhinged nutjobs; but the fact is i *am* RIGHTEOUSLY unhinged over nine one one, because i *DO*
think it was brought about by these evil, evil men for their greedy, arrogant, horrible purposes, and we are living the nascent nightmare as a result...
later, keep on speaking truth to power; even idjit lefty 'power' brokers... thanks again...
ps sorry for the 'form' reply to everyone, i was surprised by the number of people who bothered to respond; and that the overwhelming majority were in sympathy with the views i expressed, however
profanely... (again, i had NO INTENTION of this being a published email; i would have written differently had i known i would have an audience...)

Ten Questions For 9/11 Coincidence Theorists
Andres Karger
I often visit the CounterPunch.org site because I enjoy reading the many interesting articles I find there. However, on my last visit, I was somewhat surprised to see Alexander Cockburn's article on "The 9/11 Conspiracy Nuts," which is a brutal assault on those who believe in the complicity of the Bush administration in the 9/11 attacks.
50 Senior Military, Intelligence & Govt. Critics of 9/11
Seekers of the truth about 9/11 have been demonized in the mainstream media as crazy conspiracy theorists and therefore easily dismissed.
MSM stories about criticism of the 9/11 Commission Report almost entirely focus on college professors, and virtually never mention any of the many senior military, intelligence, and government officials who have expressed similar views.
A new website launched last week, http://patriotsquestion911.com/ contains statements severely critical of the 9/11 Commission Report made by the 50 senior military, intelligence, and government officials listed below. These are not people inclined to accept unfounded conspiracy theories.
The cumulative impact of all these statements by senior level officials is stunning.
I am hopeful this information, compiled in one place and made easily accessible, will help refute the common claims that people who challenge the 9/11 Commission Report are irresponsible, illogical, disloyal, or crazy. And I hope it will stimulate rational discourse on this tremendously important matter.
the "no Boeing" theories discredit 9/11 skepticism and distract from proven evidence of complicity
the fake debate between no plane and no complicity gets the Bush regime off the hook
there is zero evidence for any of the "no plane" claims - hundreds of people saw Flight 77, none saw a cruise missile, Global Hawk robot plane, smaller plane or flying saucer piloted by giant lizards
the physical evidence shows that a large twin engine jet hit the nearly empty part of the Pentagon, the "Black Boxes" were found, cleanup crews found remains of the passengers, the "hole was too small" claim was a hoax making 9/11 complicity dependent on the no-plane claim was a brilliant tactic to discredit the real evidence for people inside the Beltway, both for the majority who vote against Bush and the political / military elites (especially the military officers who saw the plane crash or the plane debris)
the material on this page and all of the websites that are linked here should finally extinguish the "no plane" hoax -- except for those who have staked their credibility on these claims and cannot admit a mistake, and those who intentionally promote the hoax. Every claim for the "no plane" hoaxes is refuted here or at a page linked from this page....
http://www.oilempire.us/pentagon.html [This site will help clarify the Karl Rovian smoke&mirrors designed to confuse 911 hoax investigators and inquiring citizens, by setting up "straw man," decoy sites and theories, etc. They then "debunk" these, thus casting doubt on the GENUINE parts of the 911 truth investigations.
Check out Alexander Cockburn's most recent use of this nasty little trick in his nasty little "Beat The Devil" column in the September 2006 Nation magazine online, predictably titled "911 Conspiracy Nuts."]
"Lots of military people saw the plane and wreckage, and making the conspiracy dependent on the "no plane hoax" gets Bush and Cheney off the hook. The issue is not what the peons (us) think about these issues -- the real issue is what the military and civilian leadership in DC think about these issues. No plane speculations and hoaxes steer people away from real evidence of complicity such as how the plane was steered into the nearly empty part of the Pentagon and the role of the wargames in paralyzing the defense of Washington. Cui bono - who benefits? How long would Cheney and Bush be in office if the rest of the military thought that the PNAC gang allowed 9/11 to happen -- or deliberately flew Flight 77 into the Pentagon via some form of remote control?
"The fact that "No Plane" is the cudgel being used against the 9/11 truth movement proves it is a counterproductive strategy for exposing real evidence of complicity. Whether these hoaxes are coming from deliberate disinformation agents, the aggressively naive, the gullible or the sloppy is not relevant, since the ONLY evidence for "no plane" is altered and misleading perspective photos. There is NO evidence that even comes close to the standard of proof needed to convince a newspaper editor or a judge.

Please, if you think Air America Radio is here to wake us; you sir, or madam - are as misguided as those who believe that Rush Limpbutt is here to wake us. AAR just recently fired the only radio personality with the balls to speak truth to power. Beyond Mike Malloy, along with his wife/producer/co-host, NO!ONE is talking about 911 truth on AAR; other than to parrot twisted versions of (terror! terror! OMG! terror!) "official" story. SO!PLEASE, who ever you are, give it a rest - as we are no longer buying it. The price we are being ask to pay - is just to - damned - high.....

Not sure why a poster commented on the "no plane" theory
Not sure why a poster commented on the "no plane" theory. This article was not about the "no plane" theory.
The information we know about a military stand down on 9/11 coupled with the physics of the collapse of the 3 steel skyscrapers on 9/11 being a controlled demolition, is proof enough of insider complicity by elements of our govt.

Not sure what comment(s) you're referring to, but:
I think people should take every opportunity to explain that the "no plane" theories in all their permutations have been thoroughly debunked. They still occur in Loose Change and Dr. Griffin's first book, etc. Now that virtually all 911 truth people agree that such no-plane theories were hasty (and/or put forward by disinfomeisters), we must take pains to tell new people not to judge the solid overall theory by it's weakest, outdated, links.

Please pay attention to some important facts before you yell fire in a crowded police state:
Randi Rhodes often talks about 9/11 and has promoted and interviewed solid 911 truth people; Thom Hartmann has done similarly, though not as often. Thom's regular substitute, Peter B. Collins in San Francisco, is very up front about it. "Lionel" in NYC (carried on Seattle's Air America)Is very with it on 9/11. I can't get Sam Seder's show often, so I don't know about him. Yes: Al Franken and "Big Eddy" are disgustingly cowardly on 911 truth. So you want to throw out the rapidly growing Air America baby because Al & Eddy, etc. keep peeing in the bath water?

The above article is a good expose of the sham surrounding the 9-11 and other homegrown scams. What it specifically does not need is the distraction of any psychedelic paean masquerading as a self-obsessed catharsis over the virtues of any radio station. Trail-draggers or red-herringers not required on any trip.
So pipe down, Mirer. It is the author's floor, not yours, and not yours to bemire. O.K?

Great work on your recent article. The only problem is that, as you turned it around in the end towards something positive, you completely ignore that these are patterns that have occurred throughout all human history. You ignore that these problems are based in the wiring systems of the human brain that repeat themselves through governments. The foundation of the human brain rests upon millions of years of evolution from the reptilian brain based in fear. As long as we have a human brain wired as such, these patterns will continue to repeat.
Further, you neglect to note that extinction for humanity is eminent at some time in the future, and is growing closer each day of reports of global warming. All hominid species have gone extinct, some lasting millions of years, others far less.
Lastly, you are once again relying on a belief in God in your article, that is naive at best. As for wanting to know reality, if you research the history of the evolution of Scriptures, you will note it was manipulated througout history by ignorant, illiterate scribes who botched translations, politicians like Constantine who changed passages to influence his people, and those who chose to outright lie and deceive the populace by writing in awesome, impossible magic tricks Jesus Christ performed we know DEFY PHYSICS, as your articlee spoke of about buildings and 9/11.
So face the facts - please. It seems this is all about facing reality as human beings. We know we are a severely flawed species, delusional at best, about our life on this planet. We build ourselves up as being great - when it all comes down to it, we are all part of the animal kingdom with animal instincts of fear we will never be free of as long as we have a human brain.
Your stubborness to face reality at the end of your article was quite cowardly. We all know something is going to happen to humanity that will be horrible. We don't need you to lie to us with any more of that Aquarius Age garbage, that is just another illusion. Extinction - human extinction is growing closer with each day. You are a fraud and a liar if you believe we are all headed for nirvana on earth for uncovering the evil frauds at the top. It's embedded in human nature to be selfish, greedy and all else. Go knock on your neighbor's door and ask him to join your Aquarius Age movement, and he will most likely call his fellow Nazi's on you to throw you in one of Bush's prison camps in the future.
Have fun with your Aquarian Age fantasy man, because you are still in the denial phase of where humanity is headed.

We create our reality every day. If people, whether they be agnostics, atheists, or fundamentalists, constantly "imagine" ("image" "in"), an apocalyptic vision of humanities demise, then it will likely occur.
Jesus warned people not to "dwell on the end times," but rather to do what is good and right, right now.
The Christ's and Buddha's offered humanity practical self help tips that could help us thru our current crisis and challenge . . . if we take their advice to heart. It is simple, and summed up in the following:
"Allah created nations and tribes that we might know one another, not that we might despise one another."
-- The Koran
". . . never to turn aside the stranger, for it is like turning aside the most high God."
-- The Torah
"love thy neighbor as thyself."
-- The Bible
"Full of love for all things in the world; practicing virtue in order to benefit others, this man alone is happy."
-- Buddha
"Seek to be in harmony with all your neighbors; live in amity with your brethren."
-- Confucious
"Let us walk softly on the Earth with all living beings great and small remembering as we go, that one Godkind and wise created all."
-- Native American psalm
"A man obtains a proper rule of action by looking on his neighbor as himself."
-- Hindu psalm
"Regard Heaven as your father, Earth as your mother, And all things as your brothers and sisters."
-- Shintoism; Oracle of the Kami of Atsuta
We as humans have the ability to imagine "image" "in" a new reality. I don't know how to live other than living this way. For me, there is no other way, but to keep imagining the way things "could be" and constantly demanding that of media, government, etc. etc.
Will my vision prevail? I don't know. But, I'd like to go out, knowing I gave it my best.
