9/11 Truth Movement Reaches Critical Mass at Santa Cruz “Deep Politics” Conference

AE911Truth Spoken of by Several Presenters – Courted by Alternative Media

The spectacular explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil-drilling platform was a darkly resonant backdrop for the paradigm-challenging “Understanding Deep Politics” conference held in Santa Cruz, CA, May 14-16.

Just as everyone knows that the “real story” isn’t the fireball or even the massive slick on the surface, but the invisible deep source of the catastrophe, a critical mass of world Truth leaders came together to expose the deep and dark forces behind the staged explosions of 9/11, the ongoing geopolitical catastrophe they were used to justify, and the slick of official myths spread by the mainstream media to try to keep the American public from waking up and ending its collective nightmare.

The “Deep Politics” theme of the conference originated with one of the keynote speakers, University of California Berkeley Emeritus Professor Peter Dale Scott. Prof. Scott coined the term “deep politics” to refer to the covert “dark side” goals, means and operations of a hard-right “Western” military, intelligence, corporate and criminal cabal behind the series of engineered crises that have shaken America and the world — the facilitated “Reichstag Fire” attack on U.S. ships at Pearl Harbor that had the desired effect of catapulting America into World War II; the myth of the U.S. ship attack in the Gulf of Tonkin used to escalate the Vietnam War; the assassination of JFK, who refused to attack Cuba, and of RFK and MLK, who wanted to end the Vietnam War; the attack on the USS Cole, which was intended to escalate the U.S. military presence in the Middle East, but didn’t; the 9/11 “Reichstag Fire” self-attack on their own world military headquarters, the Pentagon, and the World Trade Center used to burst the cabal’s geopolitical agenda to the surface; and the WMD Big Lie used to rationalize the attack on Iraq.

Professor Scott’s address was on the use of the 9/11 false flag attacks to trigger initiation of secret emergency Continuity of Government (COG) executive operations and powers which are still in force. He called upon Congress to enforce the existing statute that requires the President’s COG authorities to lapse if not affirmatively renewed.

Speaker Jim Marrs, New York Times best-selling author whose book Crossfire formed a basis for Oliver Stone’s deep politics movie “JFK,” reviewed the infiltration of top Nazis into the Pentagon, U.S. Space Program and other American institutions in the wake of their surface defeat in World War II — the subject of his recent book The Rise of the Fourth Reich.

The world dean of 9/11 Truth research Professor David Ray Griffin gave the one presentation specifically focused on the attacks of Sept. 11, summarizing his recent book The Mysterious Collapse of World Trade Center 7 compellingly proving its collapse due to controlled demolition using pre-placed explosives. In the audience for Prof. Griffin’s talk and throughout the two-and-a-half-day conference was our own AE911Truth founder Richard Gage, AIA, who received a rousing ovation when recognized from the podium for his global work spreading the truth about the evidence for the engineered destruction of the three WTC towers. Several members of the alternative media interviewed Mr. Gage at the AE911Truth information and sales table where an array of books, DVDs, brochures, t-shirts, and cards were nearly sold out to the 9/11 truth-hungry participants.

Renowned Canadian television journalist and 9/11 author Barry Zwicker gave an overview of the repeat use of false flag attacks in modern history, including the attack on the USS Liberty, the Gulf of Tonkin deception, the first WTC bombing, the Oklahoma City bombing, 9/11, the 7/7 London subway bombings and the Madrid bombings, among others. He is currently working on a book on the “routine” use of such false flag self-attacks to achieve ends of state.

The most tangible and encouraging development of the conference was Zwicker’s revelation that Canadian and international legal experts are moving forward with what they call the “11/11 Project” for an international inquest on the mass crimes of September 11. “11/11” refers to November 11, 2011 — one month after the projected date of the announcement of the inquest’s judgment on Sept. 11, 2011 — “when,” Zwicker said with his signature grin and twinkle, “all of our goals will have been achieved.”

Zwicker and some other speakers are also working on a “Santa Cruz Declaration” which they’ll be circulating in draft to Truth Movement leaders for feedback. Be sure to check this site in the near future for the debut of that Declaration.

Former MI-5 intelligence officer and leader of Britain’s 9/11 truth movement Annie Machon gave a fast-moving synopsis of her experiences in the British Security Service and as a whistleblower exposing the involvement of the agency’s sister service MI-6 in the attempted assassination of Libyan leader Col. Gaddafi.

The speaker most familiar with the corporate machinations behind the Gulf oil disaster was former international oil-field executive Ian Crane, who spoke on “Exposing the Agenda of the New World Order.” He detailed the U.S.-led push for hegemony and control of global resources, focusing on the escalating attack on world populations in the name of corporate globalization and “harmonization.”

American Iraq-born physician and activist Dr. Dahlia Wasfi received a standing ovation for her moving and documented presentation exposing the lie of Israeli victimhood and putting individual faces and stories on one of the New World Order’s most devastating attacks on innocent populations who live atop “global” resources — the people of Iraq. Wasfi makes a historically compelling case that the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq is an extension of Israel’s invasion and occupation of Palestine.

Former U.S. Representative, vocal 9/11 Truth advocate and tireless international activist for the Palestinian cause, Cynthia McKinney, was slated to be a keynote speaker, but had to cancel due to a family emergency.

Award-winning author and progressive political analyst Michael Parenti spoke on “Deep Ideology: How Reactionary Agendas Shape Political Awareness” and the importance of language and mental framing for a breakthrough in mass awareness and acceptance of 9/11 and other critical truths.

Sonoma State University Professor of Sociology and founder and president of The Media Freedom Foundation’s “Project Censored” for the past15 years, Peter Phillips, and his successor Professor Mickey Huff spoke on the “core knot” problem of state/corporate control and censorship of the mass media and its recent consolidation into half a dozen media giants.

On the financial side, attorney and author of Web of Debt Ellen Brown summarized the history and inner workings of the Federal Reserve and how the People and the States can circumvent it to take back the power to create money that the establishment “Money Trust” usurped.

Whereas the speakers did an outstanding job of stating the problem — a U.S.-led, right-wing international criminal cabal whose false flag attacks are protected by official secrecy and corporate media collusion, they struggled to come up with broadly viable solutions. The political leanings of participants in the Solutions Panels, in fact, ran the entire gamut from the extreme left to the libertarian right, and some avoided friendly fire by diplomatically agreeing to disagree. For instance, the future envisioned by Professor Griffin and one of the panel facilitators, Byron Belitsos — a world democratic government – was derided by Ian Crane, whose anti-solution was effectively to drop out and “do your own thing” before the inevitable global collapse.

The most far-reaching solution for achieving legal accountability was the above-mentioned Canadian “11/11 Project.” Other specific, though limited, proposals were: a new think tank to fund research and publishing by academic Truth Movement leaders, by Annie Machon; and Professor Scott’s call for Congress to implement the law requiring the emergency executive powers under COG to lapse if not affirmatively renewed.

The Soviet regime suddenly fell in great part due to Glasnost, the opening of its dark and moribund system to the light and freer dissemination of truth. As we look back from November 11, 2011, we may see that the Santa Cruz “Deep Politics” conference was a turning point in our own American “Glasnost” that just as suddenly — and unexpectedly — brought down the Old “New World Order” almost as fast as the World Trade Center Towers fell on 9/11.

Veterans for Peace – Bob Bowman on Left-Right divide

Bob Bowman on how Left-Right divide makes antiwar movement ineffective:

YOUTUBE – Part 4 of 5: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnJUY7ZAKjI&feature=related

Sunday, May 16, 2010

Hello All,

VFP, VVAW, Lt.Col. Bob Bowman of the Central Florida chapter of Veterans For Peace and the National Commander of The Patriots (www.thepatriots.us) did a wonderful interview last month for FlybyNews.com on Greenfield Community Television in Greenfield, Mass. Dr. Bowman is the former Director of the “Star Wars” programs under presidents Ford and Carter before becoming a whistleblower when the Reagan administration was planning on using “Star Wars” as an offensive weapon.

In part 4 of 5 of the interview below he describes quite well how the artificial “Left vs. Right” divide that we Americans so easily and obediently keep ourselves in has, is and will continue to make the antiwar movement ineffective in stopping the wars … which if Americans who give allegiance to being Democrat and thus against Republican, Conservative and thus against Liberal, Left and thus against Right, or whatever camp we put ourselves in thus being against the other camp … if we Americans as a whole put aside all the other issues keeping us divided and came together to look just at the issue of stopping the wars, then we would have enough Americans together on the sole issue of stopping the wars to actually do so.

I say shame on us who should know better, but still stubbornly keep the divide in place.

Please watch part 4 of 5 of the April 13th interview below, and I recommend watching all 5 parts if you have the time as Dr. Bowman covers a heckuva lot of other things about war and peace, the economy, etc. that is worth taking the time to listen to.

Laura Bush recalls 9/11 panic at White House
Former first lady details problems with communication system
TODAY books
updated 9:15 a.m. ET, Wed., May 5, 2010

In her memoir, “Spoken from the Heart,” former first lady Laura Bush shares a detailed account of being in the White House during the terrorist attacks. An excerpt.

Goodness in the land of the living
Tuesday morning, September 11, was sunny and warm, the sky a brilliant cerulean blue. The day before, I had hosted a lunch for Janette Howard, wife of the Australian prime minister, while George met with her husband, John. My friends who had come for the National Book Festival had all flown home, and even George was gone, in Florida for a school visit. George H. W. Bush and Bar had spent the night, but they had already left at 7:00 a.m. to catch an early flight. And I had what I considered a big day planned. I was set to arrive at the Capitol at 9:15 to brief the Senate Education Committee, chaired by Edward M. Kennedy, on the findings of the early childhood development conference that I’d held in July. In the afternoon, we were hosting the entire Congress and their families for the annual Congressional Picnic. The South Lawn of the White House was already covered with picnic tables awaiting their fluttering cloths, and Tom Perini from Buffalo Gap, Texas, was setting up his chuckwagons. Our entertainment would be old-fashioned square dancing and Texas swing music by Ray Benson and his classic band, Asleep at the Wheel.
<!–break–>
I finished dressing in silence, going over my statement again in my mind. I was very nervous about appearing before a Senate committee and having news cameras trained on me. Had the TV been turned on, I might have heard the first fleeting report of a plane hitting the North Tower of the World Trade Center at the tip of Manhattan as I walked out the door to the elevator. Instead, it was the head of my Secret Service detail, Ron Sprinkle, who leaned over and whispered the news in my ear as I entered the car a few minutes after 9:00 a.m. for the ride to the Russell Senate Office Building, adjacent to the Capitol. Andi Ball, now my chief of staff at the White House; Domestic Policy Advisor Margaret Spellings; and I speculated about what could have happened: a small plane, a Cessna perhaps, running into one of those massive towers on this perfect September morning. We wondered too if Hillary Clinton might decide not to attend the committee briefing, since the World Trade Center was in New York. We were driving up Pennsylvania Avenue when word came that the South Tower had been hit. The car fell silent; we sat in mute disbelief. One plane might be a strange accident; two planes were clearly an attack. I thought about George and wondered if the Secret Service had already hustled him to the motorcade and begun the race to Air Force One to return home. Two minutes later, at 9:16 a.m., we pulled up at the entrance to the Russell Building. In the time it had taken to drive the less than two miles between the White House and the Capitol, the world as I knew it had irrevocably changed.

Senator Kennedy was waiting to greet me, according to plan. We both knew when we met that the towers had been hit and, without a word being spoken, knew that there would be no briefing that morning. Together, we walked the short distance to his office. He began by presenting me with a limited-edition print; it was a vase of bright daffodils, a copy of a painting he had created for his wife, Victoria, and given to her on their wedding day. The print was inscribed to me and dated September 11, 2001.

An old television was turned on in a corner of the room, and I glanced over to see the plumes of smoke billowing from the Twin Towers. Senator Kennedy kept his eyes averted from the screen. Instead he led me on a tour of his office, pointing out various pictures, furniture, pieces of memorabilia, even a framed note that his brother Jack had sent to their mother when he was a child, in which he wrote, “Teddy is getting fat.” The senator, who would outlive all his brothers by more than forty years, laughed at the note as he showed it to me, still finding it amusing.

All the while, I kept glancing over at the glowing television screen. My skin was starting to crawl, I wanted to leave, to find out what was going on, to process what I was seeing, but I felt trapped in an endless cycle of pleasantries. It did not occur to me to say, “Senator Kennedy, what about the towers?” I simply followed his lead, and he may have feared that if we actually began to contemplate what had happened in New York, I might dissolve into tears.

Senator Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, the ranking Republican on the committee and one of our very good friends in the Senate—Judd had played Al Gore for George during mock debates at the ranch the previous fall—was also designated to escort me to the committee room, and he arrived just as I was completing the tour. Senator Kennedy invited us to sit on the couches, and he continued chatting about anything other than the horrific images unfolding on the tiny screen across the room. I looked around his shoulder but could see very little, and I was still trying to pay attention to him and the thread of his conversation. It seemed completely unreal, sitting in this elegant, sunlit office as an immense tragedy unfolded. We sat as human beings driven by smoke, flame, and searing heat jumped from the tops of the Twin Towers to end their lives and as firemen in full gear began the climb up the towers’ stairs.

I have often wondered if the small talk that morning was Ted Kennedy’s defense mechanism, if after so much tragedy—the combat death of his oldest brother in World War II, the assassinations of his brothers Jack and Robert, and the deaths of nephews, including John Jr., whose body he identified when it was pulled from the cold, dark waters off Martha’s Vineyard—if after all of those things, he simply could not look upon another grievous tragedy.

At about 9:45, after George had made a brief statement to the nation, which we watched, clustered around a small television that was perched on the receptionist’s desk, Ted Kennedy, Judd Gregg, and I walked out to tell reporters that my briefing had been postponed. I said, “You heard from the president this morning, and Senator Kennedy and Senator Gregg and I both join his statement in saying that our hearts and our prayers go out to the victims of this act of terrorism, and that our support goes to the rescue workers. And all of our prayers are with everyone there right now.” As I turned to exit, Laurence McQuillan of USA Today asked a question. “Mrs. Bush, you know, children are kind of struck by all this. Is there a message you could tell to the nation’s—” I didn’t even wait for him to finish but began, “Well, parents need to reassure their children everywhere in our country that they’re safe.”

As we walked out of the briefing room, the cell phone of my advance man, John Meyers, rang. A friend told him that CNN was reporting that an airplane had crashed into the Pentagon. Within minutes, the order would be given to evacuate the White House and the Capitol.

I walked back to Senator Kennedy’s office and then began moving quickly toward the stairs, to reach my car to return to the White House. Suddenly, the lead Secret Service agent turned to me and my staff and said that we needed to head to the basement immediately. We took off at a run; Judd Gregg suggested his private office, which was in the lower level and was an interior room. The Secret Service then told John that they were waiting for an Emergency Response Team to reach the Capitol. The team would take me, but my staff would be left behind. Overhearing the conversation, I turned back and said, “No, everyone is coming.” We entered Judd’s office, where I tried to call Barbara and Jenna, and Judd tried to call his daughter, who was in New York. Then we sat and talked quietly about our families and our worries for them, and the overwhelming shock we both felt.

Sometime after 10:00 a.m., when the entire Capitol was being emptied, when White House staffers had fled barefoot and sobbing through the heavy iron gates with Secret Service agents shouting at them to “Run, run!” my agents collected me. They now included an additional Secret Service detail and an Emergency Response Team, dressed in black tactical clothing like a SWAT force and moving with guns drawn. As we raced through the dim hallways of the Russell Building, past panicked staffers emptying from their offices, the ERT team shouted “GET BACK” and covered my every move with their guns. We reached the underground entrance; the doors on the motorcade slammed shut, and we sped off. The Secret Service had decided to take me temporarily to their headquarters, located in a nondescript federal office building a few blocks from the White House. Following the Oklahoma City bombing, their offices had been reinforced to survive a large-scale blast. Outside our convoy windows, the city streets were clogged with people evacuating their workplaces and trying to reach their own homes.

By the time I had reached my motorcade, Flight 93 had crashed in a Pennsylvania field and the west side of the Pentagon had begun to collapse. Judd Gregg walked alone to the underground Senate parking garage and retrieved his car, the last one left there. He pulled out of the garage and headed home, across the Fourteenth Street Bridge and past the Pentagon, thick with smoke and flame.

In the intervening years, Judd and I, and many others, were left to contemplate what if Flight 93 had not been forced down by its passengers into an empty field; what if, shortly after 10:00 a.m., it had reached the Capitol Dome?

We arrived at the Secret Service building via an underground entrance and were escorted first to the director’s office and then belowground to a windowless conference room with blank walls and a mustard yellow table. A large display screen with a constant TV feed took up most of one wall. Walking through the hallways, I saw a sign emblazoned with the emergency number 9-1-1. Had the terrorists thought about our iconic number when they picked this date and planned an emergency so overwhelming? For a while, I sat in a small area off the conference room, silently watching the images on television. I watched the replay as the South Tower of the World Trade Center roared with sound and then collapsed into a silent gray plume, offering my personal prayer to God to receive the victims with open arms. The North Tower had given way, live in front of my eyes, sending some 1,500 souls and 110 stories of gypsum and concrete buckling to the ground.

So much happened during those terrible hours at the tip of Manhattan. That morning, as the people who worked in the towers descended, water from the sprinkler system was racing down the darkened stairwells. With their feet soaked, for some the greatest fear was that when they reached the bottom, the rushing water would be too high and they would be drowned. A few walked to safety under a canopy of skylights covered with the bodies of those who had jumped. Over two hundred people jumped to escape the heat, smoke, and flames. I was told that Father Mychal Judge, the chaplain for the New York City Fire Department, who had come to offer aid, comfort, and last rites, was killed that morning by the body of someone who had, in desperation, hurled himself from the upper floors of one of those towers.

Video: Bush memoir to revisit 9/11, 2000 election

The early expectation was for horrific numbers of deaths. Manhattan emergency rooms and hospitals as far away as Dallas were placed on Code Red, expecting to receive airlifted survivors. Some fifty thousand people worked inside the towers; on a beautiful day, as many as eighty thousand tourists would visit an observation deck on the South Tower’s 107th floor, where the vistas stretched for fifty miles. Had those hijacked planes struck the towers thirty or forty or fifty minutes later, the final toll might well have been in the tens of thousands.

Inside Secret Service headquarters, I asked my staff to call their families, and I called the girls, who had been whisked away by Secret Service agents to secure locations. In Austin, Jenna had been awakened by an agent pounding on her dorm door. In her room at Yale, Barbara had heard another student sobbing uncontrollably a few doors down. Then I called my mother, because I wanted her to know that I was safe and I wanted so much to hear the sound of her voice. And I tried to reach George, but my calls could not get through; John Meyers, my advance man, promised to keep trying. I did know from the Secret Service that George had taken off from Florida, safe on board Air Force One. I knew my daughters and my mother were safe. But beyond that, everything was chaos. I was told that Barbara Olson, wife of Solicitor General Ted Olson, had been aboard the plane that hit the Pentagon. At one point, we also received word that Camp David had been attacked and hit. I began thinking of all the people who would have been there, like Bob Williams, the chaplain. Another report had a plane crashing into our ranch in Crawford. It got so that we were living in five-minute increments, wondering if a new plane would emerge from the sky and hit a target. All of us in that basement conference room and many more in the Secret Service building were relying on rumors and on whatever news came from the announcers on television. When there were reports of more errant planes or other targets, it was almost impossible not to believe them.

George had tried to call me from Air Force One. It is stunning now to think that our “state-of-the-art” communications would not allow him to complete a phone call to Secret Service headquarters, or me to reach him on Air Force One. On my second call from the secure line, our third attempt, I was finally able to contact the plane, a little before twelve noon. I was grateful just to hear his voice, to know that he was all right, and to tell him the girls were fine. From the way he spoke, I could hear how starkly his presidency had been transformed.

We remained in that drab conference room for hours, eventually turning off the repetitive horror of the images on the television. Inside, I felt a grief, a loss, a mourning like I had never known.

A few blocks away, in the Chrysler offices near Pennsylvania Avenue, a group of White House senior staff began to gather. After the evacuation, some of those who were new to Washington had been wandering, dazed and shaken, in nearby Lafayette Park. By midafternoon, seventy staff members had congregated inside this office building, attempting to resume work, while Secret Service agents stood in the lobby and forbade anyone without a White House pass from entering. Key presidential and national security staff and Vice President Cheney were still sealed away in the small underground emergency center deep below the White House.

As the skies and streets grew silent, there was a debate over what to do with George and what to do with me. The Secret Service detail told me to be prepared to leave Washington for several days at least. My assistant, Sarah Moss, was sent into the White House to gather some of my clothes. John Meyers accompanied her to retrieve Spot, Barney, and Kitty.

Then we got word that the president was returning to Washington. I would be staying as well. Late in the afternoon, I spoke to George again. At 6:30 we got in a Secret Service caravan to drive to the White House. I gazed out the window; the city had taken on the cast of an abandoned movie set: the sun was shining, but the streets were deserted. We could not see a person on the sidewalk or any vehicles driving on the street. There was no sound at all except for the roll of our wheels over the ground.

We drove at full throttle through the gate, and the agents hopped out. Heavily armed men in black swarmed over the grounds. Before I got out, one of my agents, Dave Saunders, who had been driving, turned around and said, “Mrs. Bush, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry.” He said it with the greatest of concern and a hint of emotion in his voice. He knew what this day meant for us.

I was hustled inside and downstairs through a pair of big steel doors that closed behind me with a loud hiss, forming an airtight seal. I was now in one of the unfinished subterranean hallways underneath the White House, heading for the PEOC, the Presidential Emergency Operations Center, built for President Franklin Roosevelt during World War II. We walked along old tile floors with pipes hanging from the ceiling and all kinds of mechanical equipment. The PEOC is designed to be a command center during emergencies, with televisions, phones, and communications facilities.

I was ushered into the conference room adjacent to the PEOC’s nerve center. It’s a small room with a large table. National Security Advisor Condi Rice, Counselor to the President Karen Hughes, Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Bolten, and Dick and Lynne Cheney were already there, where they had been since the morning. Lynne, whose agents had brought her to the White House just after the first attack, came over and hugged me. Then she said quietly into my ear, “The plane that hit the Pentagon circled the White House first.”

I felt a shiver vibrate down my spine. Unlike the major monuments and even the leading government buildings in Washington, the White House sits low to the ground. It is a three-story building, tucked away in a downward slope toward the Potomac. When the White House was first built, visitors complained about the putrid scent rising from the river and the swampy grounds nearby. From the air, the White House is hard to see and hard to reach. A plane could circle it and find no plausible approach. And that is what Lynne Cheney told me had happened that morning, a little past 9:30, before Flight 77 crossed the river and thundered into the Pentagon.

At 7:10 that night, George strode into the PEOC. Early that afternoon, he had conducted a secure videoconference from Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska with the CIA and FBI directors, as well as the military Joint Chiefs of Staff and the vice president and his national security staff, giving instructions and getting briefings on the latest information. Over the objections of the Secret Service, he had insisted upon returning home. We hugged and talked with the Cheneys a bit. Then the Secret Service detail suggested that we spend the night there, belowground. They showed us the bed, a foldout that looked like it had been installed when FDR was president. George and I stared at it, and we both said no, George adding, “We’re not going to sleep down here. We’re going to go upstairs and you can get us if something happens.” He said, “I’ve got to get sleep, in our own bed.” George was preparing to speak to the nation from the Oval Office, to reassure everyone and to show that the president was safely back in Washington, ready to respond.

By 7:30 we were on our way up to the residence. I have no memory of having eaten dinner—George may have eaten on the plane. He tried to call the girls as soon as we were upstairs but couldn’t reach them. Barbara called back close to 8:00 p.m., and then George left to make remarks to the nation.

We did finally climb into our own bed that night, exhausted and emotionally drained. Outside the doors of the residence, the Secret Service detail stood in their usual posts. I fell asleep, but it was a light, fitful rest, and I could feel George staring into the darkness beside me. Then I heard a man screaming as he ran, “Mr. President, Mr. President, you’ve got to get up. The White House is under attack.”

We jumped up, and I grabbed a robe and stuck my feet into my slippers, but I didn’t stop to put in my contacts. George grabbed Barney; I grabbed Kitty. With Spot trailing behind, we started walking down to the PEOC. George had wanted to take the elevator, but the agents didn’t think it was safe, so we had to descend flight after flight of stairs, to the state floor, then the ground floor, and below, while I held George’s hand because I couldn’t see anything. My heart was pounding, and all I could do was count stairwell landings, trying to count off in my mind how many more floors we had to go. When we reached the PEOC, I saw the outline of a military sergeant unfolding the ancient hideaway bed and putting on some sheets.

At that moment, another agent ran up to us and said, “Mr. President, it’s one of our own.” The plane was ours.

For months afterward at night, in bed, we’d hear the military jets thundering overhead, traveling so fast that the ground below quivered and shook. They would make one pass and then, three or five minutes later, make another low-flying loop. I would fall asleep to the roar of the fighters in the skies, hearing in my mind those words, “one of our own.” There was a quiet security in that, in knowing that we slept beneath the watchful cover of our own.

Waking the next morning, I had the sensation of knowing before my eyes opened that something terrible had happened, something beyond comprehension, and I wondered for a brief instant if it had all been a dream. Then I saw George, and I knew, knew that yesterday would be with us, each day, for all of our days to come.

Tonight I am joined by Josh Jackson and John Bursill to discuss a number of issues of the day, leading with the landmark decision by an Australian Federal Court against the Australian film and television industry which was trying to make ISPs liable for the downloading habits of their customers.

“You can breach copyright in two ways. One is by directly breaching it, which the users did; and secondly you can authorise a breach of copyright, which you can sometimes do by putting people in a position where they can breach copyright,” Mr Lambrick said.

“Now what Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft (AFACT) had argued was that by providing its internet service, iiNet was putting its account holders in a position whereby they could breach copyright directly themselves.

“Justice Cowdroy found it wasn’t the ISP’s system that was responsible for the breach of copyright. It was actually the BitTorrent system which was the means by which copyright was breached.”

Other topics in focus on tonight’s show include the latest develoments in the 9/11 truth movement and the quest to create a broad based anti-war / truth & justice movement to oppose the ongoing military agression and erosion of civil liberties seen across many countries.

A great show and an excellent discussion – not to be missed!

Schapelle CorbySchapelle Corby became a household name in Australia after her arrest in 2004 on charges of importing 4.2 Kg of marijuana into Bali.

Her subsequent trial and guilty verdict were covered extensively in the news, and in 2005 there was a groundswell of support from all over Australia due to the inconsistencies in the evidence against her, the main one being that the street value of marijuana in Bali is roughly one eighth of the Australian value. Why would someone take enormous risks to import a drug into a foreign country for a massive loss?

The weakness of the case against Schapelle was compounded by the fact that the Indonesian prosecutors could not offer a single piece of forensic evidence to support their case, despite repeated requests from Corby’s defense team. The marijuana was not tested for its origin, finger prints were not taken and CCTV footage was mysteriously unavailable.

The case against Schapelle was based exclusively on circumstantial evidence, bolstered by (disputed) claims that her behaviour during the initial search demonstrated guilt.

The final twist was a “trial by media” which occured after Australian television program “Today Tonight”  payed Jodie Power $100,000 cash to air extremely damaging allegations about Schapelle’s sister Mercedes and the Corby family.

In May 2008, a New South Wales Supreme Court jury found that Channel Seven defamed Mercedes Corby, after which Seven Network settled the case for an undisclosed sum.

Schapelle’s mental state is reported to have deteriorated dramatically in the past year. Psychiatrist Jonathan Phillips visited Schapelle in jail earlier this year, and described her condition as follows:

“She is lost in her own bewildering world where fantasy, hallucinations and bizarre ideas dominate her mind… I really fear for her.”

“I know from experience that her illness will not get any better in the current situation, and will probably worsen with the risk of calamity.”

“Whether she’s innocent or guilty, her needs are medical.”

“She is in huge trouble.”

“I’ve never known a similar situation before and the things that might go wrong are beyond reckoning.”

Tonight TNRA welcomes Roy Reeves, a close friend of the Corby family, to discuss these issues and the miscarriage of justice which now threatens Schapelle’s life.

Tonight Ashtweth Palise returns to the show with the latest news from the Open Source Free Energy movement.

Ashtweth runs two websites which we commend to our listeners:

What is “Free Energy”?

This is a highly controversial term, even amongst those who believe it is possible to extract large and useful amounts of energy by unconventional means. The word Free could imply there is no cost and is somehow magical. That is not correct, perhaps cheap is a better term; and the well-documented science behind many of them certainly is not magic. These devices will of course cost money, and there will be significant limitations to their efficiency and effectiveness; especially until they are developed further.

Free also pertains to the fact that they are all pollution free, using no external chemical fuels and often requiring much less electricity to operate than they output (or least being much more efficient than traditional means). But perhaps the most accurate use of the word Free would relate to the change in society that these inventions would bring: Freedom from the electrical grid and filling stations Freedom from an economy built on scarcity. And freedom from the need to pollute our planet to maintain a high level of civilization.

For an introduction to the core ideas behind the various technologies discussed in the show I recommend the documentary It runs on water which was aired on British television in 1995.

In the second half of tonight’s show we examine the explosive  implications of statements made recently by the U.S. Vice President Jo Biden to the effect that  Israel has a  “sovereign right” to attack Iran. These statements were made in an interview with George Stephanopoulos aired on ABC television (U.S) on 5 July.

Review  – “The International”
In the final segment of the show I review the film “The International“, with a short clip and some commentary.

Film trivia: An explosive shootout scene takes place inside New York’s famous Guggenheim Museum, in which the museum appears to take severe damage. To film the scene, the film’s production team used the Guggenheim’s original blueprints to build a full-size replica of its interior in an old abandoned locomotive warehouse. Construction of the replica took 4 months.

Correction: the article “Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe” has not been removed from Steven E. Jones’s wikipedia entry as claimed on the show. The article does appear to have been removed from the  9/11 Truth Movement article as evidenced in the article history, here and here.

This page has interesting information on a wikipedia user who has been blocked for “restoring contentious material about 9/11 to a variety of articles, without getting consensus on any Talk page that the material belongs”.

On tonight’s show I am joined by John Bursill and Josh Jackson.

John gives us a thoughful analysis of a new 9/11 “disinfo” film “Continuos Pieces – 9/11″.

We also take a look at the review by Wired magazine of a film entitled “New World Order”.

In part 2 we examine wikipedia’s attempt to suppress science.

As the breakthrough paper proving the existence of explosive material in the WTC dust goes viral, wikipedia, the “Free Encyclopedia” engages in ruthless censorship, deleting links to the paper within minutes of posting. I discuss the current developments with Josh Jackson.
