So the Boogeyman is back?

Yeah, sure man. You believe what you want to believe.

But before you swallow the official party line, please check this out, and "re-examine all you have been told":

Osama bin Laden: The Newest Fake

Neo-Cons Enlist Bin Laden's Help To Counter 9/11 Truth

I did some digging for more info on the whole black beard thing mentioned in the first story. I found this and this, so the statement about dying your beard may not be totally accurate. The photographic comparisons are interesting.

Along the lines of what I've stated before, I'm not so sure about the 9/11 Truth angle of the second article, but the rest of it is spot on.

And I will admit that dubya got something right in a statement he made while attending the Austrian OPEC conference:

Osama bin Laden's first video appearance in three years is a reminder of "the dangerous world in which we live."

Yes sir, you are correct, the world is full of danger.

Trouble is, bin Laden's probably not it.

which is more likely?

That this was an accident, some sort of monumental "oops"? That our nation's nuclear arsenal is just lying around without sufficient security, checks and balances. . .

Or is something far more sinister in the works.

holy shit

This guy just died. Apparently he was a Hollywood guy. I never heard of him until I heard this guy eulogizing him on the radio.

I just watched one of his films. Not the one with Dan Akroyd and Eddie Murphy, although I do love that movie ("Beef jerky time. . . ").

I just watched this one:



I crapped my pants three times and pissed 'em twice.

Scary stuff. Really. Truly. Wake up.

thoughtcrime?

I just came across this:

words of acknowledgement

I often wonder whether this recently born effort to awaken and inform has any impact on those who read these humble words. Hell, according to the counter on the bottom few people even see them. That in itself is not particularly disturbing to me, as all the information I post is readily available in a variety of other places. I trust that those who seek it find it elsewhere. I do wish that more people would open their eyes and see the lies right in front of them. If I can help with that, well great.

It is with that in mind that I wish to thank a dear old friend, Bishop Groove, for his words of support and encouragement. We had a wonderful, if brief and slightly drunken, discussion about the events of the day and the state of things past and present.

He had not seen this article, detailing a company with close ties to the Pentagon possible involvement altering and editing alleged Al-Qaeda videos, you know those grainy tapes that go "Boo!" and "coincidentally" appear on the news whenever things get a little tight for the current regime. There is more about it here. What makes the article even more interesting are the updates added less than 24 hours after Wired ran the original story. It only makes me wonder what type of jack-booted thug paid a visit to Mr. Krawetz, and makes me curious about the level of intimidation it takes to get a computer geek to change his story. Not that I have any desire to find out first hand.

All in all, it's just more puzzling evidence.

Additionally, my dear friend Bishop Groove, if you have not already done so, I urge you as well as all others who may stumble upon this page, to view the videos posted on the right side. You need not believe them, merely consider them, and do as Mr. Whitman implored: "re-examine all you have been told at school or church, or in any books, and dismiss whatever insults your soul. . . "

I find my soul gravely insulted by those who seek to manipulate and control us, and can only dream of having the power to dismiss them. I am only one. But together. . .

mother of all red pills

"Mother should I trust the government?" - R. Waters

We are approaching the sixth anniversary of "The Day That Changed America".

Despite all my recent rantings, ramblings, inquisitions, and inquiries, I am not ready to swallow the mother of all red pills: the "9/11 inside job conspiracy theory" thing.

No sensible person doubts that the federal government in general, and more specifically the executive branch, continue to exploit that horrid day for political gain.

Hell, even with the alleged rival party in power, the President need only say "terror! terror!" and the Congress rolls over and pisses on itself like a scolded puppy.

In many ways, the terrorists have already won.

Land of the free? Not so much anymore.

The ongoing expansion of government power, its intrusion into our daily lives and erosion of our liberties continues: Patriot Act I and II, warrantless wiretapping, domestic surveillance, Military Commissions Act, John Warner Defense Authorization Act, Real ID. . . Jesus H Fucking Christ man, the list just goes on and on.

Home of the brave? Nope. We have become are a nation conditioned to live in fear, masking paranoid suspicion with the guise of perpetual vigilance.

But to believe that people in our own government were involved in the execution of such a horrific event as a means of exploiting and controlling the populace. . .

Well, that's a leap into a dark endless nightmare that I'm just not ready to make.

Yet.

"...certain questions get answered. Others spring up! The mind plays tricks on you. You play tricks back! It's like you're unraveling a large cable-knit sweater that someone keeps knitting. . . and knitting. . . and knitting. . . and knitting. . . and knitting. . . and knitting!" - Pee Wee's Big Adventure

Questions indeed.

I'm not alone. The guys that made "Loose Change" may be criticized for their over-zealous approach and over-reaching conclusions, but that does nothing to detract from the validity of the questions they ask. And c'mon, it's a pretty good effort by a few young twentysomethings with a home computer that haven't yet lost their youthful passion and idealism for wanting to make the world a better place.

And this guy poses many questions. I know he generally tends to be dismissed as the primary voice for the angry rantings of the lunatic fringe, but if even a small fraction of his allegations are true then we all should be really pissed. And again, the passionate anger of his approach does not detract from the validity of the questions he raises.

Questions need answers.

It was with eager anticipation that I viewed "The 9/11 Conspiracies: Fact or Fiction" earlier this week on The History Channel. I love The History Channel, I watch it all the time. I was hopeful that I would see a well-made documentary giving an in-depth analysis and explanation of the various alternative theories about what happened on September 11, 2001. I was hopeful I would see a report based on the best historical and scientific evidence that would convince me the alleged kooks were really kooks so I could just throw away the mother of all red pills.

I was sorely disappointed.

If you have not yet seen this special on The History Channel, let me summarize it for you here:

9/11 Consipiracy Theorist: 9/11 was an inside job.

History Channel Expert: You are a stupid head.

9/11 Conspiracay Theorist: But what about. . .

History Channel Expert: Stupid head.

9/11 Conspiracy Theorist: But what about. . .

History Channel Expert: Only a crazy person would think that. So I'm sorry, I am mistaken. You are not a stupid head. You are a crazy stupid head.

And that was pretty much the level of discourse for two freaking hours. It didn't answer any questions. It just made me all the more curious.

It really pissed off these guys.

So now my fellow Americans and my fellow citizens of the world, tell me just what the Hell is going on. Tell me I'm crazy, convince me I'm wrong. I crave, I yearn for information and discussion. Otherwise I'm just going to have to swallow the mother of all red pills.

advance awareness or incredible ineptness?

This is interesting:

The Secret Service at Booker Elementary:
The Dog That Did Not Bark

If nothing else, it is certainly more puzzling evidence in need of further exploration and explanation.

said the kettle to the pot

I realize Bush was talking about Iraq, but this is what he said:

“If the government doesn’t respond to the demands of the people,” he said, “they will replace the government.”

And this man is not at all worried about people wanting to replace the government?

I guess it is a whole lot easier not to respond to the demands of the people if you don't have a fucking clue what those demands are. The sumvabitch intentionally lives in an information vacuum surrounded by lackeys, stooges, and yes-men and his policy is to avoid any who disagree.

this can't be a good sign

Have you seen this:




This is very disturbing, on so many levels. Let's just look at a couple, shall we?

". . . last year's elimination of the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act" ???

Well, that doesn't sound very encouraging. And I love how they just slip it in there, all matter of fact like, like it's no big deal.

I wasn't aware it had been eliminated? However, some would say yes it has been, by this.

And I hope that at the very least that raises a suspicious eyebrow or two. But what I find much more troubling about the piece is this:

". . . the clergy would help the government with potentially their biggest problem, us."

". . . such clergy response teams would walk a tightrope between the needs of the government versus the wishes of the public."

Um, excuse me? Isn't this still a representative democracy? I thought we, as in the public, are the government.

Chilling.

The Bastards are planning on exploiting people's faith so they will quietly and passively surrender to tyranny.

Screw God, let's just render it all to Caesar.
