9/11; getting the real picture.

Most people around the world already know that 9/11 was not what it seemed.

Two airplanes caused three towers to collapse, then came a call to war....a murderous idiocy... continuing with the laissez-faire acceptance of the attack by the current administration... a sort of "don`t ask-don`t tell".

In Denmark, Germany and other countries, discussions have been aired on the TV and radio.
In the US (and Britain), the official line is to keep chasing the Muslim "terrorists", especially those with large oil and gas reserves., although with trillions of dollars of debt, and a rapidly shrinking GDP, the chances of an imminent meltdown in US social order are increasing.

The Yanks may be fooling some of their own, and no doubt there are many around the world who accept the official line with blithe indifference.
There are other individuals who are taking steps toward exposing the true identities of the perpetrators of the attack.....

even Wikipedia is publishing the allegations...


Right after the attacks, in line with official procedures, the US government dispatched a professional photographer, Kurt Sonnenfeld. Attached to FEMA, he soon realised that what he was seeing pointed to evidence of dirty tricks.

When he voiced suspicions to his superiors, he was sidelined and threatened, and now lives in exile in Argentina.

(Quote)"And then it was very odd to me when I learned that FEMA and several other federal agencies had already moved into position at their command center at Pier 92 on September 10th, one day before the attacks......../the collapse of Building 7 was hardly mentioned by the mainstream media and suspiciously ignored by the 911 Commission...../(unquote)

Read on.....

Meanwhile the oil-thirsty establishment... harps on about the need for "freedom" in Iran, and Iraq,..... and Afghanistan.

Bringing together, under one roof.

There`s a couple of Americans, who linked up, in a combo, with some Africans, a few Europeans, one or two Latin Americans, some white guys, a lady from Israeli, some black people, some Indians, native Americans, and so many more.

It`s Friday, in brief, the video is about using harmony and music to fund projects that provide music to poor folk in Africa, and lets you into a world of global technology and constructive works.

If you feel moved, and it is a truly moving piece of music, then linking to you tube will find several more tracks, and contact information on the whole "craic."

A voice, a lady speaks.

Just a few moments of reading to see another view.. somewhat sardonic, and certainly very moving.

Perhaps those who see militarism as a worthwhile vocation should slowly consider the thoughts of a lady from Iraq... Layla...

Here`s a quote from her blog, and there`s a link at the foot of the page, although the full article turns around the phrase... "As good as it gets"..., and may not be to the taste of serving soldiers...

Please come and see our combat stress.

The paralyzed old man with drill holes in his legs.
The wobbly woman unable to walk after her "visit" to Abu Ghraib.
The kids who stutter at age 14 and still piss in their pants because they saw the unspeakable.
Whole families living in one damp bedroom, with no mattresses and no blankets.
Women prostituting themselves and slashing their thighs with razor blades after their clients have gone.
Children who can't read and write because they can't afford school.
Displaced families still living in tents and rummaging in garbage to find something to eat.


(ClicK)Thousands maimed with bullets, bombs, burns because of you. Hundred of emptied homes in ruins or occupied by militias because of you.
Long queues of lost faces, holding documents, begging for a place because of you. Thousands of children, with no father and mother, living in the streets, sniffing glue, trafficked, sold, bought, beaten up, because of you.
Thousands crammed in jails, tortured, diseased because of you.
Widowed women living on pavements in Amman, Damascus, Cairo, because of you.
Young women gang raped and blinded with acid because of you...God damn it and God damn you, the list is long...

More faces. Same old face.

There`s an old saying, about those who have more faces than the town clock, and that`s got at least three.
Of course, one might say that who the american people choose as president is their own affair.
However, given that Europe is now the destination and home of thousands upon thousands of refugees from Iraq and Afghanistan, fleeing from the US/NATO instigated conflicts and wars, then perhaps we in Europe have a right to speak...



How to end the war?...
Stop shooting, that would be a good start..
Stop the bombing raids...

Too easy, and of course, if the troops stop firing weapons and dropping bombs, then the munition factories would cease production, which would would save the taxpayer money, and stop the flood of refugees.

The only loosers would be the owners of the munitions factories, the workers and the troops.... think about that, eh, unemployed bomb makers, unemployed soldiers and generals... so fucking what. Fuck `em. Get an honest proper job.

Of course, that`s why the war cannot stop, there`s still enough wannabe warriors and bomb makers willing to trade the blood of innocent children for the price of their food, a home and a pick-up truck.



Getting back to the point, the new president has had a remarkable show of faces...in spite of shouting change, change, change..., since flouncing into the White House... Guantanamo is still open, the tribunals continue, as do the wars in Iraq, and Afghanistan... where in just 100 days, over 100 civilians, mostly women and children have been killed by the bombs from Uncle Sam.

The killing of a child is the killing of a child, irrespective of race or nationality... OK..got that Mister bloodsucking president.

I have to wonder about the "folk" working in the bomb factories, do they ever consider what it would be like to awake and find their own families blasted to bits, bones and blood spread around their rooms, faeces and flesh dripping from the walls of their houses.
Would I, or anyone else, feel anger if the Afghans managed to return those attacks, bombing the American or British mainland... collateral damage the apologists call it...or would we feel shame on having brought such things upon ourselves...(quiet pause..?)

Why do the voters fall for these two-faced, twisted, murderous politicians, who smirk behind the appealing shape of their canine servants...








In Iraq, in his first 100 days hundreds of civilians have died, as well as dozens of his troops.... dead and disabled...when will they ever learn.

With a few years to go, Obama might catch up with GW in the killing game, the Iraqui resistance is still in force, and averaging 3/4 kills per week, the Afghan/Taliban resistance is growing stronger, and promise to concentrate on helicopters ... expensive targets.... Never mind, it`s good business for the manufacturers, and that`s what makes America what it is....






From the taxpayer, over a trillion dollars for arms and ammunition, plus an extra 100 billion emergency funds for this years` battles.




Over a million job losses since taking office.



The show goes on, new boss, same as the old boss. Strangely now, no mention of change, and certainly no sight of sanity in the White House .

Some Americans, thankfully have realised that new boss is not so far removed from the old boss...one man in space, one million at war, two million homeless, and three million in jail.

The mantra continues, as it did with the last puppet emperor of the planet earth.
What is it with evil arseholes and posing with puppy dogs...


More troops to the Eastern front.... Print more banknotes...intensify the border patrols...more missiles to the Russian border.....more troops...more `planes... more weapons...more prisons...more, more, more...

Ah yes, Me and you, and a fucking dog named Boo, or was it named Barney, or Blondi...?



All three dogs, as we know, are/were fed by Wall st.

Cereal offenses...

Not one for breakfast cereals, apart from the odd bowl of winter porridge, by and large, the morning munch is usually "continental", i.e., bread/cheese/fish, even eggs and fruit, but no toasted, sugar-soaked shite from cardboard boxes, with "added nutrition and extra taste!"



A tonne of corn at the farm gate fetches roughly $150/£100, good quality wheat is more expensive starting at about £200 per tonne.... which if my maths are true... means that the cost of corn works out to 15c/10p per kilo .

A kilo of "reconstituted" (pre-chewed & sanitised!) corn, sold in shops as breakfast food, fetches anything from a pound, up to three pounds ($5).....

So, between the garden and the table, there surely sits one well-fed and wealthy sector of the food chain.


By the way, the picture comes courtesy of another blog, ....Fengtastic...., worth a visit, images... and subtle ones at that.

The tortured soul.

Just added a new link, right at the top...Blacklisted news....., an american site that seems to fit with the times.

Interesting article (Click)from a guy named Tom Burghardt (February),
which pre-empts the Obama announcement concerning torture.... and also sheds light on the connections between boeing and the CIA...

Boeing... serving the agents of rendition and torture... but Obama had best watch out...putting himself into the frame by ruling out further investigation, or indeed any criminal charges of the participants, sends out a message to the entire world.....that of "my country right or wrong".

Ah well, change was short, but not sweet.

Editing (22nd April)...a few days later, and Obama now says he may indeed, one day, perhaps, consider prosecutions..."Wriggling", is that what our american friends call it.
Of course, there`s also the matter of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan...which if torture is illegal, then war should be a capital crime!

Common thoughts-and common sense.

Censorship is said to be the eradication of any images or thoughts of which the censor disapproves... so conversely...here is one that is "approved".


From James Petras...
Recovery from the deepening depression does not reside in running a multi-trillion dollar printing operation, which only creates conditions for hyperinflation and the debasement of the dollar. The root cause is the over-accumulation of capital resulting from over-exploitation of labor, leading to rising rates of profit and the collapse of demand. The vast disparity between capital expansion and decline of worker consumption set the stage for the financial bubble. Cl--ck for more.

G20, Circus in town.

The circus has arrived in London, a one-off show, that will not be touring the provinces. Sadly, yours truly has not got the inclination nor the time to visit the show.

Then again, with the internet, one can know within moments just what amazing feats and spectacles these gargantuan performers have brought to the big top.

The Russians, who now supply much of the world with gas, oil and inexpensive yet highly efficient armaments, (Kalashnikov is not a town in Texas!),
are calling for and end to the use of the dollar as reserve currency for the world....

The Chinese even suggest that we all use the Yuan.
Obama insists that it won`t be necessary....Well, every circus has it`s clowns...

Barak, let me tell you something, there are over 1 billion chinese, mostly educated and law-abiding, but above all, industrious... contrasted with 300 million americans,,, then there`s the Russians, again well educated, industrious and fiercely nationalistic, then there`s Europe and Latin America...
Need I say more, apart from 6 million Israelis, you have virtually no allies left, so maybe time to get a new act... how about you try farming instead of warmongering, or making nice little cars instead of tanks and jeeps, or how about schools and hospitals instead of prisons and military bases.
You could even take the homeless from your streets, and take the sick into care, dismantle your weapons of mass distruction....., or the people of America will do it for you.
Wake up, and get into step with the world.

The Barak and Brown approach to the global monetary programme, is to print money, borrow it, and charge it to the taxpayer...whilst most of the other nations are electing to undergo a period of economic contraction, and then on to a less indebted future.


The French, (under strong prompts from Berlin!) are threatening to walk away unless the world agrees to tighten the rules on hedge funds and tax havens.



Now, underneath the make-up and the silly costumes lies a cunning mind, but then again, is Barak perhaps fooling himself?

Does he really think that no-one else knows he and his banking elites are out of cash? Or that his armies have little prospect of victory against what is now, an increasingly sophisticated guerilla force.




Surrounded by 300 "secret service agents", and a trillion dollar army, he might feel and look important, but should the Chinese cut off his credit, or should the "terrorists" disrupt the supply of oil, then his overly expensive act may not be required in the not-too-distant future..

Without doubt, the Russians, Chinese, and most of Europe reject the policies, and thus the actions of the US.
Which only leaves England and Gordon Brown, who one suspects has no choice, given the entanglement of US and UK financial conglomerates.

There might be a few blips, but I`d say the US dollar is failing and falling from grace as a medium of exchange, and who knows, maybe next time Obama comes to town he won`t need all those expensive bodyguards, the armoured limousine, the staff, the helicopters, the personal jets, the nuclear football...
Of course, he`ll still need the suit, the make-up, a script.

Hunting buck.

In the news at the moment is AIG, the US insurance "giant". They`ve been busy everywhere, spreading their capital everywhere, including the greasy, sticky hands of Obamsteen. One of their core business involvements is within the Israeli mortgage market, through a subsidary called......





Ezer Mortgage Insurance.





(Thanks to the author at Blogocrity for that one, and reading the comments makes for some interesting moments.)



Of course, in Israel, being a "special nation", of "special people", they have slightly different values.
One being the price of property, which by any measure seems to be highly over-valued, ten times more expensive than Egypt or Palestine, and the other little benefit, as can be seen from the link, is a special clause that allows the Israelis to take periods of "grace" on their repayments.



Imagine that some of those mortgages may be of dubious certification or provenance,....far be it for me to cast aspersions or slurs upon the Jewish people, but lately, the rise of names such as Madoff, Geithner, Bernanke, are not exactly inspiring confidence in the business practices of the chosen race.



Enough, genug jetzt, don`t just take my word, check out a voice of reality and sanity, and let`s not take life too seriously.

"Flabbergasted?" (Alternative, possibly slightly unkosher comedy:)

Th outside of the ink box.

Nothing to say on this one.... butt!
