The Media Response to the Growing Influence of the 9/11 Truth Movement [Voltaire Network] Richard Gage of AE911Truth: Presentation on the Truth Behind the 9/11 Investigation Wellington, New Zealand; 21 November 2009 Eight countries – Britain, Canada, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway and Russia – have allowed their publicly-owned broadcasting stations to air the full spectrum of evidence challenging the truth of the official account of 9/11. This more open approach taken in the international media – I could also have included the Japanese media – might be a sign that worldwide public and corporate media organizations are positioning themselves, and preparing their audiences, for a possible revelation of the truth of the claim that forces within the US government were complicit in the attacks – a revelation that would call into question the publicly given rationale for the military operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. I. The first paper in my series, "The Media Response to 9/11," dealt with the New Statesman’s grudging recognition of Dr. 1. 2. 3.
Texas Governor Sounds Like A Candidate in Speech to Republican Gathering Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Sept. 15, 2010, in Houston. (AP Photo/David J. Phillip) (CNSNews.com) – A standing ovation and cries of “Run, Rick, Run” greeted Texas Gov. Addressing the Republican Leadership Conference, Perry wasted no time in criticizing the Obama administration for believing that government is the answer to every need and is most qualified to make essential decisions for individual Americans. “That mix of arrogance and audacity that guides the Obama administratino is an affront to every freedom loving American and a threat to every private sector job in this country.” Perry mentioned the nation’s “entitlement culture,” the Founding Fathers, working people, Washington bureaucrats, and America’s energy and character. He described himself as a “disciplined conservative Texan, a committed Republican and a proud American, united with you in the desire to restore our nation and revive the American Dream. Perry said his economic agenda is simple:
Hong Kong: “America is doing exactly what Japan did last time” - In-depth analysis on Credit Writedowns Pro. You are here: Political Economy » Hong Kong: “America is doing exactly what Japan did last time” Hong Kong’s leader Donald Tsang has come out with a scathing criticism of U.S. monetary policy, comparing it to Japan’s which he believes contributed to 1997’s Asian crisis. This is the most direct and strident criticism of the U.S. Federal reserve’s monetary policy from a major international politician yet. Bloomberg reports: The Federal Reserve’s policy of keeping interest rates near zero is fueling a wave of speculative capital that may cause the next global crisis, Hong Kong’s leader said. Tsang’s criticisms are sure to draw attention as it comes during the APEC summit in Singapore, which is a cross-Pacific economic and political group now being used to show Asian-U.S. cooperation and harmony. As for the comparisons of America to Japan, I find them very well placed. This is certainly what the Japanese had done in the 1990s. Source
All Day of 9/11 Events Willie Brown. [Source: San Francisco City Government]Eight hours prior to the terrorist attacks, San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown receives a warning from his “security people at the airport,” advising him to be cautious in traveling. [San Francisco Chronicle, 9/12/2001] Later reports will claim that this is because someone saw the State Department warning of September 7 (see September 7, 2001), which focused on the threat to military personnel in Asia. Brown is scheduled to fly to New York the next morning. [US Department of State, 9/7/2001; San Francisco Chronicle, 9/12/2001; San Francisco Chronicle, 9/14/2001] The source of the warning, and why it is personally issued to Brown, will remain unknown. Chris Lyons, a newspaper delivery driver, sees four or five Middle Eastern men near the entrance of Portland airport, from where alleged hijackers Mohamed Atta and Abdulaziz Alomari will later take a plane to Boston (see (6:00 a.m.) Michael Tuohey.

Pajamas Media » Gunwalker: From Obama’s Inauguration to Issa’s Report Major scandals don’t always have the most dramatic beginnings. Andrew Johnson was impeached for replacing the sitting secretary of war; Richard Nixon’s collapse started with a breaking and entering. Bill Clinton’s infamy was guaranteed for quibbling over the definition of a common verb. It now appears that high-ranking officials in the Obama administration may be writing the end of their careers and risking a life behind bars by arguing about the technical definition of “walking” firearms. “Gunwalker” now involves the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF); its parent agency, the Department of Justice (DOJ); the Department of Homeland Security (DHS); and the White House itself. But to understand the depth of the scandal you must return to its roots at the beginning of the Obama adminstration. How large was the discrepancy between the Obama administration’s lie and reality? Mexico has more than 300,000 confiscated weapons locked in vaults. U.S.
An Unsustainable Path of Debt Expansion - Thorsten Polleit - Mis Debt Growth Exceeds Income Growth In Q2 2009, total debt outstanding in the United States — financial plus nonfinancial debt — amounted to 373.4% of GDP.[1] At the start of 1952, the debt-to-GDP ratio stood at only 130%. In fact, in the last decades the rise in total debt has increasingly outpaced nominal income — a development which gained momentum after the erosion of the last vestiges of the gold standard in the early 1970s. The current upward dynamic of the debt-to-GDP ratio is economically unsustainable. It cannot go on forever. To see this, let us assume that the total debt-to-GDP ratio does continue to grow at the average rate at which it has expanded from Q1 1971 to Q2 2009 (case 1 in the chart above). If one assumes that the total debt-to-GDP ratio will expand at the average growth rate seen from Q1 1995 to Q2 2009 (case 2), a level of 600% would be reached as early as the middle of 2024, and the ratio would go up further towards 1300% by the end of 2050.

The Central Intelligence Agency 9/11 File: Hundreds of Secret Agency Documents on Osama Bin Laden Declassified Washington, D.C., June 19, 2012 – The National Security Archive today is posting over 100 recently released CIA documents relating to September 11, Osama bin Laden, and U.S. counterterrorism operations. The newly-declassified records, which the Archive obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, are referred to in footnotes to the 9/11 Commission Report and present an unprecedented public resource for information about September 11. The collection includes rarely released CIA emails, raw intelligence cables, analytical summaries, high-level briefing materials, and comprehensive counterterrorism reports that are usually withheld from the public because of their sensitivity. Today's posting is the result of a series of FOIA requests by National Security Archive staff based on a painstaking review of references in the 9/11 Commission Report. Reports on early attempts to apprehend bin Laden detail the beginning of the U.S. Highlights of the CIA September 11 Document Collection Include:
Union Targets Target and Misses The United Food & Commercial Workers, following years of failed efforts at unionized mega-retailer Wal-Mart, grocer Whole Foods and seeing some of its unionized employers like A&P file for bankruptcy, had set its sights on a new target: Target. On Friday, the National Labor Relations Board conducted a secret-ballot election in Valley Stream, NY at one of Target’s approximately 1750 U.S. stores. If the union won, it would have been the first-ever unionized Target in the nation. Ultimately, the union failed. After the employees cast their secret ballot and the NLRB counted the ballots, the union lost 137-85. The union, of course, is displeased with the employees choice and is blaming the retailer for its loss. “Target did everything they could to deny these workers a chance at the American Dream,” said Bruce W. Blaming the company is, of course, the easiest thing to do for a union like the UFCW. Of course, there are those (somewhere) who may appreciate UFCW bosses.
Rahm's Resignation Letter Includes Personal Note To Blago USA Today reports that there's "an interesting line in the letter sent Monday by Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., to Illinois Gov.

"As sons of immigrants to this country, you and I have a deep appreciation for the opportunities America provides to those who are willing to work hard and sacrifice for their children," Emanuel wrote. The Chicago Tribune describes the letter as "surprisingly personal," considering Emanuel's boss has called for Blagojevich's resignation. According to President-elect Obama's internal investigation of his staff's ties to Gov.

Talk to someone who has never dealt with the cops about police behaving badly, and he or she will inevitably say, “But they can't do that! Can they?” There are many reasons for this, but three historical developments stand out: the war on drugs provided the template for social control based on race; 9/11 gave federal and local officials the opportunity to ensnare Muslims (and activists) in the ever-increasing surveillance and incarceration state; and a lack of concern from the public at large means these tactics can be applied, often controversy-free, to anyone who resists them. What follows are 10 of the innumerable tactics the police can use against a population often incapable of constraining their behavior. 1. Muslims are not the only group that has been targeted. 2. The Ninth Circuit isn't the only one who thinks warrantless video surveillance is perfectly OK.

Regieren aus der zweiten Reihe "Es ist das bedeutungsloseste Amt, das jemals von Menschen ersonnen wurde", schimpfte der erste Vizepräsident der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika, John Adams, über seinen Posten. Nicht zu Unrecht. Denn ein Vizepräsident hat laut Verfassung nicht viel zu melden. Adams würde die Aufregung um das TV-Duell, das sich Sarah Palin, die Vizepräsidentschaftskandidatin des Republikaners John McCain, und ihr Gegenspieler Joe Biden von den Demokraten auf einem Universitätscampus in St. Denn so bedeutungslos ist der Vize nicht - wenn ihn der Ruf als offizieller Nachfolger des Präsidenten ereilt. Entsprechend sensibel reagiert die amerikanische Öffentlichkeit mittlerweile auf die Frage, wer denn Vizepräsident wird. Der Vize als Pendant Speziell seit den siebziger Jahren wählten Präsidentschaftsanwärter vorzugsweise solche Vize-Kandidaten, die in der Lage waren, ihre eigenen Schwächen ausgleichen.
