Homeland Security Director forced to raise terror alert.

Former Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge blows the whistle on former President Bush and the CIA for bullying him into raising the terror alert for political reasons.
A search on GOOGLE brings up a similar story alleging President Obama did the same thing just before the 2008 elections.
A more in depth interview with Ridge yielded more details and specific examples with all sources named chronicling his claims.
So, do we now add former Secretary Ridge to the list of kooky conspiracy theorists or unpatriotic hippies? Or, do we instead stop using that infantile cliche term and start looking at the evidence, and stop believing everything our government tells us. BD

Dr. Steve Piecznik's credentials.

Dr. Steve Pieczenik is a critically acclaimed author of psycho-political thrillers and the co-creator of the New York Times best-selling "Tom Clancy's Op-Center" and "Tom Clancy's Net Force" book series. He is also one of the world's most experienced international crisis managers and hostage negotiators. His novels are based on his twenty years experience in resolving international crises for four U.S. administrations.
Dr. Pieczenik trained in Psychiatry at Harvard and has both an M.D. from Cornell University Medical College and a Ph.D. in International Relations from M.I.T. He was the first psychiatrist ever to receive a PhD. focusing on international relations. He served as a Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and/or Senior Policy Planner under Secretaries Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, George Schultz and James Baker.
During his career as a senior State Department official, Dr. Pieczenik utilized his unique abilities and expertise to develop strategies and tactics that were instrumental in resolving major conflicts in Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, Europe and the United States.
Dr. Pieczenik was the principal International Crisis Manager and Hostage Negotiator under Secretaries Kissinger and Vance. During this time he developed conflict resolution techniques that were instrumental in saving over five hundred hostages in different terrorist episodes, including the Hanafi Moslem Seizure in Washington, DC, the TWA Croatian Hijacking, the Aldo Moro Kidnapping, the JRA Hijacking, the PLO Hijacking, and many other incidents involving terrorists such as Idi Amin, Muammar Quaddafi, Carlos, FARC, Abu Nidal and Saddam Hussein.
Dr. Pieczenik helped develop negotiation strategies for major U.S.- Soviet arms control summits under the Reagan administration. He was also involved in advising senior officials on important psycho-political dynamics and conflict mediation strategies for President Carter's successful Camp David Peace Conference. In 1991, Dr. Pieczenik was a chief architect of the Cambodian Peace Conference in Paris. He is currently an advisor to the Department of Defense.
Dr. Pieczenik has started several successful companies, employing his methodologies in various industries, including investment banking, publishing and television/film.

Dr. Steve Piecznik's claims.

An MSNBC hit piece that attempts to debunk Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik’s assertion that Osama Bin Laden died from Marfan syndrome in 2001 unwittingly provides corroboration from a top Cornell doctor who first made similar statements in an interview with Salon magazine two months after 9/11.
Pieczenik, a State Department official in three different administrations and an award-winning Harvard Medical School luminary, told The Alex Jones Show last week that the alleged raid on Bin Laden’s compound was a fable because Osama had already been dead for the best part of a decade. Pieczenik originally appeared on the show back in April 2002 when he asserted that Bin Laden had been “dead for months,” and that the government was waiting for the most politically expedient time to roll out his corpse.
Pieczenik said that Osama Bin Laden died in 2001, “Not because special forces had killed him, but because as a physician I had known that the CIA physicians had treated him and it was on the intelligence roster that he had marfan syndrome,” adding that the US government knew Bin Laden was dead before they invaded Afghanistan.
According to French intelligence reports, CIA agents visited Bin Laden at the American Hospital in Dubai in July 2001, two months before 9/11.
It was also widely acknowledged at the time that Bin Laden needed a kidney dialysis machine because of renal health problems. Indeed, CBS News reported that Bin Laden was having kidney dialysis treatment the night before 9/11. No dialysis machine was found in the alleged compound in Pakistan, which prompted the corporate media to backtrack and report that that he actually had kidney stones, not kidney disease, despite the fact that the CIA admitted back in 2008 that Bin Laden had suffered from kidney failure.
Other accounts from 2000-2001 claimed that Osama was also suffering from Hepatitis C and had only two more years to live. Despite all these health problems, on Saturday the White House released video footage of Bin Laden which it claimed was filmed in fall 2010, although the clips show a younger and healthier looking Osama compared with video footage from 2001.
Marfan syndrome is a degenerative genetic disease for which there is no permanent cure. The illness severely shortens the life span of the sufferer and can cause instant death from the sudden rupture of the aorta.
“Back then, after the 9/11 terror attacks, medical experts weighed in on bin Laden’s tall, frame, lanky limbs and long face, all classic physical symptoms of Marfan syndrome,” states the MSNBC report.
The article then quotes Dr. Richard Devereux, a clinician who treats patients with the illness at the Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York. In a November 9, 2001 interview with Salon magazine, Devereux said of Bin Laden, “He is Marfanoid. He seems to have long fingers and long arms. His head appears to be elongated and his face narrow … It’s certainly conceivable that he has the Marfan syndrome and could be evaluated for it.”
After MSNBC attempted to speak to the doctor again on the topic in light of Bin Laden’s alleged assassination, they were told by a hospital spokesman that Devereux “doesn’t want to talk about bin Laden now.”

Osama should not have been buried at sea.

According to Muslim burial laws, the ONLY time you bury someone at sea is if you are on an extended voyage with a body and the body has begun to decompose. Otherwise, you are to be buried in the ground with your head facing towards Mecca.

The truth.

Tell the truth and you only tell the story once. Tell a lie and you have to keep changing your story to keep up with the lie.

Torture is good.

And since we now apparently believe that torture is such a good thing and provides such good intelligence, why would we not take Osama alive since he was unarmed and torture him for all of the great intel he would no doubt provide?

The Situation Room. Not.

Director of the Central Intelligence Agency Norman Pineta stated today that the live video and audio feed showing the raid on Osama’s compound went out and did not come back on until after the operation was over. So the pictures you see on TV of the situation room purportedly showing Obama, Biden and Clinton amongst others, watching the very moment when Osama was killed are contrived.

Bin Laden shot while "lunging" for his AK.

I just can’t resist covering this story. It is just too outrageous. The Associated Press is now reporting that since Seal Team 6 or ST6 as they are now called, have all been debriefed, that the new official story can be told. They report that only 1 of the 5 individuals killed in the compound was actually armed; which means that the most elite Navy Seal Team on the planet executed 4 unarmed people. I thought the rule was don’t fire unless fired upon? But moving on from that to the main part of the story, Bin Laden was reportedly shot while (wait for it) “lunging” for his signature AK-47. This despite a 5 year old video of Bin Laden, that was analyzed by Dr. Sanjay Gupta of CNN, where he documents that Bin Laden was partially paralyzed and unable to move the entire left side of his body.

Historic Speech by John F. Kennedy on Secrecy.

“Ladies and gentlemen,
the very word secrecy is repugnant, in a free and open society, and we are as a people, inherently and historically, opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and secret proceedings.
We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweigh the dangers which are cited to justify it.
Even today there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating it’s arbitrary restrictions.
Even today there is little value in ensuring the survival of our nation, if our traditions do not survive with it.
And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious who wish to expand it’s meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment.
That I do not intend to permit, to the extent that it is in my control.
And no official of my administration whether his rank as high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight, as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes, or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know.
For we are opposed, around the world, by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy, that relies primarily on covet means for expanding it’s fear of influence,
on infiltration instead of invasion,
on subversion instead of elections,
on intimidation, instead of free choice,
on guerrillas by night, instead of armies by day,
It is a system which has conscripted, vast material and human resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations.
Its preparations are concealed, not published.
It’s mistakes are buried, not headlined.
Its dissenters silenced, not praised.
No expenditure is questioned. No rumor is printed. No secret is revealed.
No president should fear public scrutiny of his program.
Because from that scrutiny comes understanding. And from that understanding comes support or opposition, and both are necessary.
I am not asking your newspaper to support an administration.. But I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people..
For I have complete confidence in the response and the dedication of our citizens when they are fully informed.
I not only could not stifle controversy from your readers I welcome it. This administration intends to be candid about its errors. For as a wise man once said, “an error doesn’t become a mistake until you refuse to correct it”.
We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors and we expect you to point them out when we miss them. Without debate without criticism, no administration and no country can succeed. And no republic can survive.
That is why the Athenian law decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. And that is why our press was protected by the first amendment, the only business in America specifically protected by the constitution,
not primarily to amuse or entertain,
not to emphasize the trivial and sentimental,
not to simply give the public what it wants,
but to inform, to arouse, and to reflect
to state our dangers and our opportunities,
to indicate our crises and our choices,
to lead, mould, and educate and sometimes even anger public opinion.
This means greater coverage and analysis of international news, for it is no longer far away and foreign, but close at hand and local.. it means greater attention to improved attention to greater understanding of the news, as well as improved transmission, and it means finally, the government at all levels, must meet its obligation, to provide you with it’s possible information, outside the narrowest limits of national security.
And so it is to the printing press, to the recorder of man’s deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the carrier of his news, that we look for strength, and his assistance, confident that with your help, Man will be what he was born to be..
Free and independent.”

On JFK speech.

If you actually read JFK’s speech on Secrecy, you will understand that a government that keeps secrets, is a government that cannot and should not be believed or trusted. When did we as Americans start believing that it is ok for our government to keep secrets from us? Release the pictures Mr. President. Release the video. Release the DNA results. Full disclosure. I don’t believe a word of the Osama tale until I see the evidence. And JFK agrees with me.

Why am I so into this "conspiracy crap?"

In case anyone is wondering why I am spending so much time on all of this “conspiracy stuff,” let me just say that we are entering a time in our nation’s history where for the first time ever, we actually have the very people whom the Constitution warned us about, presently in power and desperately trying to divide and conquer our country. I don’t want to wake up one day and find myself living in a Soviet Russia or Communist China style system and be powerless to do anything about it. History has shown that once you give up your freedoms, it is nearly impossible to get them back. I have been called a “debbie downer” for always dwelling on corruption and lies by the government. I would consider myself to be a “debbie upper” if such a person exists, because the underlying message here, is not that we are doomed, it is the end of the world, or we can’t do anything about it. No. That is not the message I am conveying. We the People have all of the power. The Government can only do what we allow them to do. And so far, we have allowed them to do too much. The more of us who wake up and realize that we need to take our country back from the corrupt individuals that have taken it over, the sooner America can begin it’s road to recovery, and be restored the mighty Republic we once were. You can inform others. You can call your congressman, your senators, you can attend city council meetings and educate them about the take over of your local police departments by federalization. Turning our local police, who used to protect us, running around with all of the high-tech toys provided to them by Homeland Security treating us like we are enemy combatants in Iraq. Every week almost I see another video of someone being beaten by police. Little kids being tazed or pepper sprayed. Senior citizens being tazered to death in their wheechairs. Citizens being shot to death in broad daylight for walking down the street in Seattle wood carving. These are all actual stories you can look up on GOOGLE news. This is all caused by the hysteria created by September 11 and capitalized on by both the Bush and now the Obama administrations. We have the power. We are responsible for what happens to our nation from here on end. Don’t sit back and watch. Get informed and then get involved. I have only scratched the surface here in this short note. If you want to know more, let me know and I can point you in the right direction, so you can make up your own mind once you’ve seen how far the rabbit hole goes.

Am I alone in believing Osama was already dead?

Intelligence & foreign policy expert Robert Baer, Council on Foreign Relations member Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, Head of counterterrorism at the FBI, Dale Watson, Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Senator Harry Reid, Professor Bruce Lawrence of Duke university, Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, Professor of International relations at Boston University Angelo Codevilla, and Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari. What do they all have in common? They all either state emphatically or claim it highly likely that Osama Bin Laden died as far back as 2001.

Well the gun is back. He had it, he didn't, now he has it again.

And today they just announced that they will NOT release the picture of a dead Osama. Why? Obama said “conspiracy theorists will just say it is a fake.” Hahahahahah. How weak of a President do you have to be, to be afraid of what a bunch of in the government’s words, “crazy, weak-minded racist conspiracy theorists” have to say about a “real” photo. Hahahahahah. This says that they are afraid of what people like me have to say about what they do. Does everyone see what I mean about we the people having the power? Since when does the opinion of a conspiracy theorist alter the policies of the Whitehouse and the most powerful man on the planet. So rich. Soooo rich.

The Situation Room.

Quick Question: If the raid on Osama’s compound was being watched in real time on a large screen by the President and his staff, then how did they screw up the facts surrounding his death? Today, the military stated that Bin Laden did not have a weapon and did not shoot at U.S. troops, but yesterday they said he did. What about reporting that initial reports are sketchy but it appeared to those in the room that Osama was firing on the advancing operatives? Instead we got a Marvel comic book account of the team dodging bullets fired by Bin Laden and returning fire.

The Power.

The Government does not loan power to us, we loan power to the Government. We the people are the Government. The 2nd amendment does not give us the right to bear arms, it states that our right to bear arms shall not be infringed. Our rights do not come from the Government, they are granted by God. It is the duty of every American to defend our nation against all enemies foreign and domestic.

The 10 orders we will NOT obey:

1. We will NOT obey orders to disarm the American people.
2. We will NOT obey orders to conduct warrantless searches of the American people.
3. We will NOT obey orders to detain American citizens as “unlawful enemy combatants” or to subject them to military tribunal.
4. We will NOT obey orders to impose martial law or a “state of emergency” on a state.
5. We will NOT obey orders to invade and subjugate any state that asserts its sovereignty.
6. We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps.
7. We will NOT obey any order to force American citizens into any form of detention camps under any pretext.
8. We will NOT obey any order to assist or support the use of any foreign troops on American soil against the American people to “keep the peace” or to “maintain control.”
9. We will NOT obey any orders to confiscate the property of the American people, including food and other essential supplies.
10. We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government for a redress of grievances.

The First Amendment.

The first amendment was created to protect speech that may be considered offensive, divisive or controversial. It protects certain actions as well. That’s the whole point of it. If no one ever said or did anything offensive or controversial, there wouldn’t be a need for a first amendment; because nobody would be offended. Think about it.

Billy Graham's Prayer for our Nation.

‘Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, ‘Woe to those who call evil good,’ but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor’s possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free. Amen!’
With the Lord’s help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called ‘One nation under God!’

Where's the body?

Does anyone remember when we killed Saddam Hussein’s 2 sons? We were treated to pictures of their bloodied and battered bodies on every network news station for weeks. And when we captured Saddam? But now we kill the MOST wanted man on the planet and all we get is a video of a room full of blood but no body? And these 2 claims from the Whitehouse according to the media: “U.S. forces intentionally destroyed the remainder of the wreckage to reduce signs of their presence in the area, according to NBC and other media reports.” Question: Why would you blow something up or destroy it as a way of concealing your presence, but then announce to the world, “yeah we were there?” And this from the Wall Street Journal: “Mr. Bin Laden’s body was buried at sea, in order to be in accordance with Islamic tradition that burial take place within 24 hours, according to a person familiar with the situation.” Hmmmmmm. So we got him, but before any pictures or video could be taken of his body we bury him at sea? Am I the only one who is suspicious of all of this?

Do you hear what I hear?

OK, so continuing on with the Osama Bin Laden comic book fairy tale, let’s examine the following scenario taken from the official account (post debriefing). Ready? Ok, here we go:
You are the world’s most wanted terrorist, responsible for the deaths of literally thousands of men women and children, enjoying some quality shut eye in the land of the living. You are suddenly awakened to the sounds of a helicopter hovering outside your window, and a Seal team ex filtrating into your garden and stomping all over your summer squash. Oh, this doesn’t wake you up you say? Ok, so maybe you are a VERY heavy sleeper. Fine. There were some whispers about the helicopter being some type of a super silent stealth assault chopper, but a helicopter is a helicopter right? But that’s fine, we’ll go with that. So the helicopter and Seal team didn’t wake you up and you’re still fast asleep; what about a helicopter crashing over the wall to your property and an ensuing gunfight started by your neighbor who was trying to recover from a long night of tweeting and watching late night infomercials? - (not in the ofiicial version) - Does that manage to rustle you from your slumber? Yes? I sure hope so. Because if you still think that Bin Laden was still asleep at this point, I would humbly suggest that you immediately go and get a physical, because I think there may be something wrong with you. Alright. Continuing. Now that you have been roused from your sleep do you A. Stand up and hide behind your terrified wife and wait for the Seal team to reach your bedroom to execute you? Or B. Grab your trusty rusty AK and start making for a hasty retreat firing wildly in a desperate attempt to achieve Jihad? or C. Wait for the Seal team to kick in your door before suddenly deciding it might be a good idea to lunge for your AK just as the black op yahoos on a mission from God are ordering you to get down? Well, according to President Obama, the Whitehouse, the Director of Central Intelligence, the Military Commanders and the supposed “video and pictures” (that we will never see), Bin Laden chose option A. Oh, but wait. The story was changed for the 4th time to the current narrative, which is that Bin Laden was not armed when the Seal team entered his room, and took several bullets to the head and torso while “actively resisting.” They also stated that Bin Laden was “lunging” for his AK-47; this despite the fact that years old news footage shows the disheveled leader partially paralyzed, and unable to move the left side of his body. So depending on who you ask in the government, Bin Laden chose either A or C. I have asked this question before, and I will ask it again. How is it that the most elite team of special forces operatives gets the basics of combat all screwed up and executes an unarmed man? Aren’t they supposed to be trained to conduct the mission at hand without the influence of personal feelings or emotions? Especially since taking Bin Laden alive would have no doubt led to another public trial and subsequent hanging as in the case of Saddam Huessein? Or, at absolute least, led to the arrest of every other (CIA trained) Al-Qaeda terrorist on the planet post water-boarding and the various other “enhanced interrogation techniques” being employed by the good guys to fight the bad guys? Please tell me you see where I am going with this. And also please tell me that you realize that there is something seriously wrong with an official story that changes 4 times in 72 hours. Thank you for your time.

All aboard the propaganda train.

 http://www.voanews.com/english/news/usa/Obama-Raid-Was-Longest-40-Minutes-121475554.html

I posted this news story for this one golden nugget of propaganda:
“In that video, his unkempt beard was streaked gray. But in another, he had apparently dyed his beard black and neatly trimmed it for the filming of a propaganda video.”
This quote is taken from the above story, and purports to explain why the videos that have been released, show Bin Laden looking so much younger than his actual age. Notice how they just automatically assume that he has dyed his hair to make himself look younger? Leading you, the ignorant public to believe that he was a megalomaniac? Obsessed with his appearance? This despite the fact that he was usually seen wearing commoners clothes and preaching about religious piety and the need for martyrdom. Since when does a martyr care about his appearance? No, folks. The TRUTH is that the CIA has had these tapes for years. They are being rolled out now, in a desperate attempt to lend credibility to one of the biggest lies ever told to the American public to date. Once one side of the government decided to run with this story, all of the other elements of the government have decided to jump on the band wagon and lie to the American people, rather than restore faith in the government by exposing the lying liars for the liars they are. If they can get you to believe this, they know you will believe (and possibly do) anything. Not this guy.

Dick Cheney finally shows outrage about torture.

http://nation.foxnews.com/dick-cheney/2011/05/09/cheney-justice-probe-cia-interrogators-outrage

Except he’s not shocked or outraged that his government (on his orders nonetheless) engaged in illegal murder, torture and extrajudicial killings, he is outraged that the CIA is being investigated for said actions. “As far as we know” Cheney says, the actions of the CIA were within the scope of the law. Well that did it for me. Case closed. What the hell do we need a court of law or congressional hearings for? Let’s just ask Cheney. Hey Dick, was it wrong for us invade Iraq on false pretenses? No? Ok, thanks for clearing that up.

I will say anything if you stop hurting me.

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/05/09/pakistan-says-it-knew-of-us-raid-after-it-began/

“During interrogation, bin Laden’s youngest wife, Amal Ahmed Abdulfattah, a 29-year-old Yemeni, reportedly told Pakistani investigators that her husband had lived in their Abbottabad house, near Islamabad, for five years.”
Many have pointed to the “testimony” of Osama’s alleged wives as proof that he was indeed present at the raid that supposedly took his life. But as you can glean from the passage taken from the above news story, the information we are getting from these “widows” may be just as reliable as me admitting that I am Santa Claus in a desperate attempt to convince my interrogators to remove the probes delivering massive amounts of painful electricity to my nether-regions.

Torture.

If we endorse torture as good, then we should expect that every country will do it, and that our men and women in uniform will be tortured if they are captured by the enemy. If we condemn torture as wrong, then we should never do it.

Are we safe yet?

Ten years, 3 wars, 3 trillion dollars, 5,885 dead U.S. soldiers, 1,000,000 dead Iraqi men women and children and our government is telling us that another terror attack is more likely than ever before; that they need to take away more of our rights, restrict more of our freedoms and control more of what we do in our daily lives; all in the name of keeping us safe. Liberty for security they say; but they admit we are just as vulnerable as ever before, and that another attack (this one nuclear) is just around the corner. You would think after 10 years of building the world’s most advanced (and oppressive) Police State, we would have something to show for all of the freedoms we have given up in the name of security; only to find that we are not only still vulnerable to attack, but even more so they say. The police have become the military and the military have become the police, yet none of us are safe yet. It kind of makes me wonder, is it really the “terrorists” who hate our freedoms, or is it the government? If our “freedoms” are why the terrorists hate us so much then why is the government taking away the very thing that makes us better than them? And then we find out that we are supporting Al-Qaeda in Libya and fighting them in Afghanistan; and that there are in reality more Hell’s Angels in America then there are Al-Qaeda all over the world. I can only ponder what another ten years and even more of our liberties surrendered will bring us. If we’re still not safe by then, do you think our government will give us back the freedoms they took from to us to “protect” us? Oh wait. That question was already answered; it’s called North Korea, China, the former U.S.S.R. and Cuba.

Look at history.

Has anyone taken just 5 minutes and performed an internet search of some of the more notable lies we have been told by our government over the past 20 to 30 years?
And while you are searching, try and find one occasion where the guilty actually faced justice instead of some low level flunky they used as a patsy.
The sad truth is that the corruption, lies, murder, medical experiments, forced sterilizations, illegal wars, depleting of natural resources, approval of dangerous and deadly vaccines by FDA, intentional infection of 3rd world children with military grade infectious diseases for the purpose of scientific study by the CDC; approval by the USDA of GMO foods proven to cause allergic reactions, the depletion of the honey bee, damage to internal organs  and cancers; approval by the military of highly toxic munitions such as depleted uranium which literally shaves years off of your life for every second spent inhaling it into the lungs; the near complete cover up in the 90’s of gulf war syndrome and demonizing of the brave men and women who suffered from it and were labeled as “kooks” by their government; the introduction and continued defense by the government of dumping multiplied tons of toxic waste into our public water supplies all under the guise of keeping our teeth healthy; the continuing link between the CIA, Mena, Arkansas and the incomprehensible amount of narcotics smuggled into the U.S. with the blessing and protection of the local police departments, DEA and FBI; the cover up of the JFK assassination now uncovered by the Justice Department; the lies told by the Bush Administration to get us into a war with Iraq; the lies told by Obama who promised to end the wars and bring the troops home; the overwhelming evidence of deception by the federal reserve and the international bankers who stand to profit from a collapsed U.S. economy; the deceptions by both the Republican and Democratic parties; all of these and many many many many more that I did not have time to list, all point to a state of affairs in which we the people are lied to over and over and over and over and over and over again. Do you think these problems have magically fixed themselves? Have you noticed that on the rare occasion that the mainstream media actually reports on these events, that they fail to really pass judgement on the events which have transpired? It is more of an almost cheerful, “Well, you are getting raped by your government” and now in other news…. I mean c’mon people. If a boyfriend, girlfriend or spouse lied to you only one third as much as your government, you would never trust another word they said. But we catch the government in one lie after another after another after another after another, and yuppies will run out into the street celebrating the death of Osama Bin Laden without so much as one small shred of verifiable evidence. Based solely on the word of a man who has been caught lying to us repeatedly. And to make matters worse, those of us with just a half of our cerebral cortex still in tact ask for proof and we are demonized and called “theorists” and any other title that prevents them from having to engage their mind and think for themselves. Osama Bin Laden was never even tried for the attacks of September 11th. Has everyone forgotten that? Since when do we believe someone who claims to be responsible for a crime, and then go after them and kill them? Where is that found in the Constitution? The military standard operations procedural? No one from the government has provided one shred of verifiable evidence to me the tax payer proving that Bin Laden had anything to do with the attacks of September 11th. I’m not saying the man was an angel, but doesn’t that bother anyone at all? How insane would our society be if we applied that same technique to solving other crimes besides terrorism? Does anyone remember the Nuremberg trials? We knew the Nazi soldiers and commanders were guilty. We caught them in the act. Yet we still gave them a trial and presented a little something I like to call EVIDENCE that demonstrated their involvement and established their guilt. They were then sentenced to long prison terms or death depending on the severity of their actions or involvement. We did neither with Osama Bin Laden and the government is amazed at how readily we accept their propaganda and theater.
Wake up and smell the Starbucks coffee.

The operation was led by Air Force General Edward Lansdale and came into being after the failed Bay of Pigs invasion.
The goal of The Cuban Project was to “help Cuba overthrow the Communist regime”, overthrow its leader Fidel Castro, and aim “for a revolt which can take place in Cuba by October 1962”.

1975-1999 Indonesian occupation of East Timor
U.S. President Gerald Ford and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger had met President Suharto of Indonesia in Jakarta where Ford made it clear that “we will not press you on the issue” of the invasion and occupation of East Timor. Several U.S. administrations up to and including that of Bill Clinton did not ban arms sales to the Indonesian government, though the latter did eventually end U.S. support of Suharto’s regime. The territory was declared the 27th province of Indonesia in July 1976 as Timor Timur. However, internationally its legal status was that of a “non-self-governing territory under Portuguese administration.” See also Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media: A centerpiece of the film is a long examination into the history of The New York Times’s coverage of Indonesia’s invasion and occupation of East Timor, which Chomsky claims exemplifies the media’s unwillingness to criticize an ally and uses as an example of self-censorship in western media.
1981 to 1986 Iran-Contra
The Iran-Contra Affair (also known as “Irangate”) was a mid-1980s political scandal in the United States. President Ronald Reagan’s administration sold arms to Iran, an avowed enemy. At the time, Americans were being held hostage in Lebanon by Hezbollah, a militant Shi’a organization loyal to Ayatollah Khomeini, and it was hoped that Iran would influence them to release the hostages; at the same time, Iran, which was in the midst of the Iran-Iraq War, could find few nations willing to supply it with weapons. The U.S. diverted proceeds from the sale to the Contras, anti-Communist guerrillas engaged in an insurgency against the left wing Sandinista government of Nicaragua. Both the sale of weapons and the funding of the Contras violated stated administration policy as well as legislation passed by the Democratic-controlled Congress, which had blocked further Contra funding. * Incomplete without mentioning Mena Arkansas as a base of operations and the drugs for arms bartering * with among other connections, to The Bluegrass Conspiracy a book by Sally Denton detailing drugs and corrupton involving the commissioner of Kentucky State Police, (who resigned) officers and other officials as reported in newspapers.

1994 Diamonds are forever?
In 1994 De Beers was charged by the United States Justice Department with Sherman Antitrust Act violations for conspiring to fix prices for industrial diamonds. On 14 July 2004 De Beers pleaded guilty to the charges and paid a $10 million fine. According to PBS: Frontline: The Diamond Empire: “EDWARD EPSTEIN, Author, “The Rise and Fall of Diamonds”: Well, what I learned was that the diamond business wasn’t a business of extracting, as I originally expected, something of enormous value and then simply seeing how much of this object you could get out of the ground and selling it. That was what the business appeared to be when I started my venture. But their real business was restricting what came out of the ground, restricting what was discovered, restricting what got cut, restricting what actually found its way into the retail market and, at the same time, through movies, through advertising, through Hollywood, through the manipulation of perceptions, creating the idea that there was this enormous demand for these shiny little objects that they seemed to have in abundant supply. So I wound up on this voyage of discovery starting off with the idea that there was this object of great value, and it was just a question of how many could you get out, and I wound up discovering it was just the opposite.” See also Crater of Diamonds.
1995 The Bojinka Plot

1995 Oklahoma City bombing
The Oklahoma City bombing was a terrorist attack on April 19, 1995, in which the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, a U.S. government office complex in downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, was destroyed, killing 168 people. The (Oklahoma) McCurtain Daily Gazette has reported that at least one member of the secret services and an informant for the BATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) had prior knowledge that the attack was about to take place, a charge which the FBI deny. The newspaper also alleges that the FBI and the Southern Poverty Law Section, as part of a top-secret undercover operation, may have indeed assisted the bombers in their plans as part of a failed sting operation, citing evidence given in a court case by a BATF informant and data published under the Freedom of Information Act as ‘proof’.
Other reports point variously to the quick response of agents dressed in full ‘mop-gear’ clothing, as if pre-prepared for an explosion; the fact that the BATF offices (in the bombed building) were empty at the time of the explosion; FBI reluctance to release sensitive documentation relating to the case, and rumours of an SMS warning sent out to BATF staff as further ‘evidence’ of a major conspiracy. These reports are largely based on empirical evidence and circumstantial information, and remain unproven.

2002 Las Vegas Venetian Rigged Drawing
The Venetian casino employees conspired to rig drawings. According to the Las Vegas Sun: July 15, 2004 Venetian contest rigger lectured by regulators: “Mok said he rigged the drawing because a high-roller he was hosting lost $5 million gambling and the employee “didn’t want to see him go home empty-handed.”” The Venetian agreed to pay a $1 million fine to settle a 12 count complaint. “Board member Bobby Siller … compared the additional damage inflicted by attempting to cover up the scheme with the trouble former President Richard Nixon brought upon himself during the Watergate burglary investigation.” Four Venetian employees lost their licenses to work in the Nevada gaming industry but were quickly hired by casinos in other states. According to the Las Vegas Sun: “Michael French, the former senior vice president of operations, became the chief operating officer for the Inn of the Mountain Gods casino in Mescalero, N.M. Brian Parrish, formerly the vice president of marketing, became the marketing director for the same New Mexico tribal casino. The Mescalero Apache Tribe said they believed the involvement by French and Parrish in the scheme was more than offset by their wide-ranging experience. Don Richardson, another Venetian executive involved in the incident, surfaced as the director of operations at the Wildfire, a small casino owned by Station Casinos Inc. Station officials said the company’s regulatory compliance department investigated the matter and determined that Richardson was suitable for the position.”
2004 Secret CIA Prisons
A story by reporter Dana Priest published in The Washington Post of November 2, 2005, reported that “The CIA has been hiding and interrogating some of its most important al Qaeda captives at a Soviet-era compound in Eastern Europe, according to U.S. and foreign officials familiar with the arrangement.”[4]
The report contends that the CIA has a worldwide covert prison system with facilities in Asia, Eastern Europe, and in Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. The system is central to the agency’s anti-terror role, and according to the report has been kept secret from government officials (including Congressional committees that oversee the CIA) through the agency’s own efforts as well as cooperation with foreign intelligence services.
This conspiracy was proven in 2006 when President Bush admitted that indeed there are secret CIA prisons in Europe and elsewhere.
