How the 9/11 myth was sold..

December 21st, 2011
Very good video which looks at the ‘news’ the morning of 9/11 and some of the interviews that ran on some of the major networks. The fact that the majority of the US mainstream media (as some are now rightfully calling the dinosaur media, which I like) had the entire narrative behind the attack within minuets of the second plane hitting the tower, sand even before the towers fell, is fishy at best. It uses some very familiar techniques to inject pseudo-science into the narrative about intense heat from fire as the cause of structural failure, which was the first time in history, fire took down a steal framed high-rise building (of course physics took the day off, because 3 buildings collapsed into their own footprint due to ‘intense fire’ that day). It always seemed strange to me on that day that at the same time I was learning about the attack, they already knew who did it, like they got a letter from Al-Qaeda that morning saying, our bad, sorry about the towers. Of course, the fact that they ‘knew’ it was Bin-Laden before the towers even came down, and that the Bin-Laden family was flown out of the US that morning, when all other flights had been grounded, stinks of an inside job. It tends to look like a bunch of unrelated coincidences, but every year that passes, the event seems to become a bit clearer. I wonder how much longer they will be able to successfully convince people of this official narrative? More and more people are waking up to this atrocity every day.
Keep questioning people, we are closer now than we have ever been.
Now this what it used to mean to be a reporter…

She asks some very tough questions and I give her props for asking them, but you can’t have actually expected someone involved in the bowls of power during the run up to Iraq war to admit we shouldn’t have gone to war with Iraq, knowing what we know now. For most of us it seems obvious, but for American politicians it was still the right decision.

Japanese message intercepted a week before Pearl Harbour…

This video from Mike Rivero looks at the remains of Station H, which intercepted a Japanese message directing its fleet to Hawaii a week before the ‘surprise’ attack on Pearl Harbour. It was sent to the FBI who ignored it, in favour of goading Japan into attacking so that the US could enter the war, against Japan and Germany, although they had funded Hitler’s escapades since the beginning. Take a second to look up Bush’s Great Grand Father, Prescott Bush, who was CIA (Evidence shows both Bush’s later fallowed in his footsteps) and his involvement in funding the Nazis and then operation paperclip. Looks like a trator where I am standing. Just saying.
Halliburton Destroyed Gulf Spill Evidence… interesting…
By: James Burge
December 6th, 2011
Was just reading an article where BP accused Halliburton of intentionally destroying evidence to conceal its role in the 2010 Gulf of Mexico Oil Rig Disaster.
For those of you that don’t know in the days before the well blew up, Halliburton were involved with setting a cement plug which would have temporarily sealed BP’s Moncondo exploration well. According to another article as early as February Halliburton knew there were problems with their recipe for the cement. They then kept this information from BP notifying them by email about only one of the tests, leaving out the tests with “unstable” results.
And get this:
Chevron recently carried out independent lab tests of a cement slurry that Halliburton said was the same as that used in the Macondo well. The commission staff said Chevron reported that “its lab personnel were unable to generate stable foam cement in the laboratory using the materials provided by Halliburton.
Not only that it seems like Halliburton lied about the unstable tests. Apparently to an inquiry on the explosion, Tomas Roth, Halliburton’s Vice President for Cementing said their results showed the cement mixture was stable, which of course seems to question the unstable results but apparently they didn’t make this issue known to BP, although they claim they shared the data in an email to BP, but apparently they never used the words “unstable” in that email.
Now that is has come out that they have destroyed evidence, I would bet money the lost documents also include these unstable test results in the days preceding the explosion. Which would be tough if they gave them to BP through email.
Now Halliburton is blaming BP because they only used 6 of the 21 centralizers, a device that ensures the drill pipe is properly centered.
And then this:
Robert Bea, a professor and oil industry expert at the University of California at Berkeley, said that drillers will often run one test on a cement mixture, then a second test as a backup. He called four tests “unusual.”
“Given that they are running four, that’s telling me they were having trouble getting to a stable design,” Bea said. “And so they continued to work with this witches’ brew until they got on to something they thought was workable.”
But I came across another article where Halliburton admits it never performed a test of the mixture, but that BP ordered them to change the mixture last minute meaning it could not perform the needed tests. Either way, sounds like negligence to me.

An interesting hypothetical to ponder…
By: James Burge
December 1st, 2011
Was just reading an really good article (which I totally recommend reading if you are still a bit fuzzy on the banking crisis) about how the banks got away with the secret bailouts to the tune of about $13 trillion dollars, how those involved told their buddies of the plan to centralize the banks, even before congress, so they could make billions on shorts while keeping the details of these secret bailouts from congress, and the American People, who have now been stuck with the bill.
I mean it really seams like you and a few friends are at a party and the table beside you is really partying it up, hooting, hollering, having quite the time, buying everyone drinks, they seems like okay dudes, and by the end of the night you think they are your new friends. But after they leave the waitress comes around with your bill and it’s about a ten times what you expect your bill to be, the waitress notices your shock and says “those guys you were partying with, before they left they said you were going to take care of the bill.” But just wait, it gets worse, in this scenario you realize that the waitress has to tip out to the guys who left you stuck holding the bill, so any tip you can afford give to the waitress, half or more goes to those guys. Then you find out these guys bet on the fact that you probably wouldn’t be able to pay the bill and they then use either the tip out or the money made on the bet against you, to give themselves and their buddies huge bonuses. Then they are back in the pub trying the same scam the next evening because heaven forbid they use those bonuses to pay for their own drinks.
That story would begin to express what has happened in the states only if you imagine the bill was for $14 Trillion dollars.
Just to get you interested, here are a few items he lists before giving the “6 Shocking revelations about Wall Street’s secret government”.
? The secret Wall Street bailouts totalled $7.77 trillion, 10 times more than the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) passed by Congress in 2008.
? Knowledge of the secret bailout funds was not shared with Congress even while it was drafting and debating legislation to break up the big banks.
? The secret funding, provided at below-market rates, gave Wall Street banks an additional $13 billion in profits. (That’s enough money to hire more than 325,000 entry level teachers.)
? The secret loans financed bank mergers so that the largest banks could grow even larger. The money also allowed banks to step up their lobbying efforts.
? While Henry Paulson (Bush’s Secretary of the Treasury) was informing Congress and the public that only minor reforms were needed to protect Fannie and Freddie from collapse, he met secretly with leading Wall Street hedge fund managers — among them his former colleagues at Goldman Sachs — to alert them that he was about to nationalize the giant mortgage companies – a move that would eradicate nearly all the stock value of the companies. This information was enormously valuable because it allowed these hedge funds to short Fannie and Freddie and thereby make a fortune.
? While Timothy Geithner was head of the NY Federal Reserve, he argued against legislative efforts by Senator Ted Kaufman, D-Delaware, to limit the size of banks because the issue was “too complex for Congress and that people who know the markets should handle these decisions,” Kaufman recalls. Meanwhile, Geithner was fully aware of the enormous secret loans while Senator Kaufman was kept in the dark. Barney Frank, who was authoring key bank reform legislation, was also not informed of the secret loans. No one in Congress was told.
So what does this all mean?
