On the tenth anniversary of the Attacks of September 11th, 2001, expert witnesses gathered at Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada to provide evidence-based research that called into question the official story of 9/11. This was known as The Toronto Hearings on 9/11.
Over a period of four days, these experts in Structural Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, and History gave researched and professional testimony to an international panel of distinguished judges. The panel of judges, in conjunction with the steering committee would go on to publish their final analysis of the evidence provided, which called for a new investigation into the Attacks of September 11th, 2001.
This film is a summary of the strongest evidence given over the four days of hearings.
As even the most novice student of the 9/11 "conspiracy theory" is aware of, several media hints and warnings preceded the horrific events of that unforgettable history-altering day. But what many aren't aware of is just how many of these in-your-face hints there actually were and, in some case, just how diabolically detailed they were. Most disturbing of all is that the trail of hints stretches back as much as 25 years before the big event!
A man, dressed neatly in a suit and tie, is found splattered with blood from head to toe holding a bloody knife before the body of a stabbing victim. The man calmly explains that he is not the murderer and he only just discovered the body. In a calm voice he says that he's a trusted member of the Government and that terrorists were responsible.
During the investigation it is discovered that the only footprints (bloody ones) were found to be from the man in the suit. His fingerprints were on the knife and no others. Regardless of these facts other men in suits focus the investigation on an elaborate tale that centres on the activities of a group of known terrorists.
14 years later, can you see how incredibly stupid the propaganda was?
snip: We can pretend that the Constitution, which was written to hold the government accountable, is still our governing document. However, the reality we must come to terms with is that in the America we live in today, the government does whatever it wants, freedom be damned, and "we the people" are seen as little more than cattle to be branded and eventually led to the slaughterhouse.
Consider the state of our freedoms, and judge for yourself whether Osama Bin Laden was right when he warned that "freedom and human rights in America are doomed," and that the "U.S. government will lead the American people in — and the West in general — into an unbearable hell and a choking life."
"Since mankind's dawn, a handful of oppressors have accepted the responsibility over our lives that we should have accepted for ourselves. By doing so, they took our power. By doing nothing, we gave it away. We've seen where their way leads, through camps and wars, towards the slaughterhouse."

Fourteen years later and do you even believe it? Did we actually live it? Are we still living it? And how improbable is that?
Odigo, the instant messaging service, says that two of its workers received messages two hours before the Twin Towers attack on September 11 predicting the attack would happen, and the company has been cooperating with Israeli and American law enforcement, including the FBI, in trying to find the original sender of the message predicting the attack.
It should come as no surprise that the FBI, in its total focus on Stephen Hatfill, has totally ignored (or is covering up for) another suspect, one actually caught on the security systems entering the storage area where the anthrax used in the letters was kept, without proper authorization and AFTER being fired from his job at Fort Detrick over a racially motivated attack on an Egyptian co-worker. This suspect's name is Dr. Philip Zack, who has since relocated to Dugway Proving Grounds.
But despite this damning evidence. Zack remained untouched and untouchable, while the FBI, spurred on by Dr. Barbara Rosenberg, continued to focus on Stephen Hatfill, while trying to concoct a way for him to have created the anthrax, even though he did not work with anthrax or have access to that strain.
"I went down to the scene and we set up headquarters at 75 Barkley Street, which was right there with the Police Commissioner, the Fire Commissioner, the Head of Emergency Management, and we were operating out of there when we were told that the World Trade Center was going to collapse. And it did collapse before we could actually get out of the building, so we were trapped in the building for 10, 15 minutes, and finally found an exit and got out, walked north, and took a lot of people with us."
Giuliani has subsequently denied making the above comment proving that he has no qualms about lying about an inconvenient truth.
Kenney: "We're currently one of the first teams that was deployed to support the city of New York for this disaster. We arrived on late Monday night, and went into action on Tuesday morning. And not until today did we get a full opportunity to work the entire site."
Needless to say, this recording caused quite a stir. The official reaction was Kenney was simply confused about the dates. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has said it did not have urban search and rescue teams in place in New York City prior to the Sept. 11 attacks, contrary to an Internet-based rumor alleging otherwise. ... FEMA officials said Kenney, in the heat of the moment, misstated his team's arrival date. [WorldNetDaily 11/15/01]
However, on the recording Kenney is complaining about not getting full access to the site until "today". Kenney talks about a Monday, a Tuesday, and "today". That's three days.
"Just two or three minutes ago, there was yet another collapse or explosion. I'm now out of sight. A good samaritan has taken me in on ___ Street. But at a quarter to 11 there was another collapse or explosion following the 10:30 collapse of the second tower. And a firefighter that rushed by estimated that 50 stories went down. The street filled with smoke. It was like a forest fire roaring down a canyon. Now, as ___ and others have told you, all downtown Manhattan is covered with thick white ash and building material."
This is an odd statement to say the least because a 50 story building did not collapse at 10:45am. Stranger still is the fact that WTC 7 was a 47 story building, so it fits the description given by the firefighter, but it didn't come down until 5:20pm.
"Evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It's classified information." -- US official quoted in Carl Cameron's Fox News report on the Israeli spy ring and its connections to 9-11.
A Mossad surveillance team made quite a public spectacle of themselves on 9-11. The New York Times reported Thursday that a group of five men had set up video cameras aimed at the Twin Towers prior to the attack on Tuesday, and were seen congratulating one another afterwards. (1)
Police received several calls from angry New Jersey residents claiming "middle-eastern" men with a white van were videotaping the disaster with shouts of joy and mockery. (2)
"They were like happy, you know … They didn't look shocked to me" said a witness. (3) [T]hey were seen by New Jersey residents on Sept. 11 making fun of the World Trade Center ruins and going to extreme lengths to photograph themselves in front of the wreckage. (4)
Witnesses saw them jumping for joy in Liberty State Park after the initial impact (5). Later on, other witnesses saw them celebrating on a roof in Weehawken, and still more witnesses later saw them celebrating with high fives in a Jersey City parking lot. (6)
An explosion shook a chemical plant in the Chinese province of Zhejiang, state media said on Monday, though there were no immediate reports of casualties in a country on edge after blasts killed more than 160 people last month.
We find it quite interesting that with everything else going on in September 2015, the 1st video below from Spiro gives us more to think about and question. Beginning on the 10th of September and going on through September 23rd, Linxx Global Solutions, Inc., a government services provider based out of Virginia Beach, Virginia, will be holding 'realistic scenario training' for the Department of Defense and is looking for private contractors....otherwise known as 'role-players'.
I don't know why, but upon reading this, and understanding that this Friday is the 14th anniversary of 9/11, the hairs on the back of my neck are getting very twitchy, and standing at attention.
And, when you ask Stuhl for his theory of what caused the jetliner to crash that morning, he will give you the prevailing theory - that a cockpit battle between the hijackers and burly, heroic passengers somehow caused the Boeing 757 to spiral out of control. "There's no doubt in my mind that they did put it down before it got to Washington and caused more damage," he said.
But press the mayor for details, and he will add something surprising.
"I know of two people - I will not mention names - that heard a missile," Stuhl said. "They both live very close, within a couple of hundred yards. . .This one fellow's served in Vietnam and he says he's heard them, and he heard one that day." The mayor adds that based on what he knows about that morning, military F-16 fighter jets were "very, very close."
Most people would agree that shooting down a plane full of hijackers is a good idea. But what is the flight crew had found a remote control system, disabled it, and regained control of the aircraft? Once it landed, their story and the evidence on board would expose the whole 9-11 story as a fabrication, and there is a great motive to shoot down the plane, then concoct the myth of the heroic crew deliberately crashing the plane into the ground. < Remember that the debris from Flight 93 covered 8 miles of countryside; only possible if the aircraft came apart in midair!
< Remember that the debris from Flight 93 covered 8 miles of countryside; only possible if the aircraft came apart in midair!
An article detailing Flight 93's last minutes was briefly available at dailynews.yahoo.com on 9/11/2001. It not fit the official story of the last moments of Flight 93 and rapidly disappeared from news websites, but it can still be found at the web archive: Minutes before the 10 a.m. crash, an emergency dispatcher in Pennsylvania received a cell phone call from a man who said he was a passenger locked in a bathroom aboard United Flight 93. The man repeatedly said the call was not a hoax, said dispatch supervisor Glenn Cramer in neighboring Westmoreland County. "We are being hijacked, we are being hijacked!" Cramer quoted the man from a transcript of the call. The man told dispatchers the plane "was going down. He heard some sort of explosion and saw white smoke coming from the plane and we lost contact with him," Cramer said. [Yahoo News, Tuesday September 11 11:27 PM EDT]
Thanks to a reader a paper version of the story also emerged:
An Army biological and chemical warfare facility in Utah has been quietly developing a virulent, weapons-grade formulation of anthrax spores since at least 1992, and samples of the bacteria were shipped back and forth between that facility and Fort Detrick, Md. ... The Utah spores, grown and processed at the 800,000-acre Dugway Proving Ground about 80 miles from Salt Lake City, belong to the Ames strain -- the same strain used in the deadly letters sent to media outlets and two senators in September and October. No other nation is known to have made weapons-grade Ames. [Washington Post]
The independent commission probing the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York and Washington decided not to hear from the worker group that lost more lives than anyone else to the terrorists: The Fire Fighters. [Workday Minnesota]
There is a problem with the above statements. There was no live video coverage of the first plane hitting the tower. There couldn't be. Video of the first plane hitting the tower did not surface until AFTER the second plane had hit World Trade Center 2.
At 21:54 GMT on 9/11/2001 the BBC announced that WTC 7 had collapsed. There was just one problem with this news: WTC 7 did not collapse until 22:20 GMT.
Take a close look at the manner in which WTC 7 collapses straight down. For the building to collapse in this fashion, all of the load bearing supports would have had to fail at exactly the same time.
The claim that the collapse was the result of a fire requires the fire be equally distributed throughout the entire floor of the building, providing equal heat for an equal amount of time, so that all the load bearings members would fail at the exact same moment.
Do you find this plausible?
Bush defenders try to explain Bush's inaction as his not wanting to upset the children. Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9-11" suggests Bush's inaction was due to his not being told to leave. But Michael Moore fails to follow that line of reasoning through to its logical conclusion; where were the people whose job it is to get the President to a place of safety in event of attack, the people who would have, SHOULD have, pulled Bush out of there, children and public appearances be damned!
The Secret Service did nothing. The dog did not bark.
If the events of 9-11 were truly a surprise to the United States Government then there is no way the Secret Service could have known there wasn't a hijacked or stolen plane heading towards Booker Elementary School that very second.
As we run up to yet another anniversary of the 9-11 false-flag attacks, the government's controlled assets on the web are once again pushing the "no plane at the Pentagon" hoax as hard as they can, to give the corporate media an easy means to discredit those who question the official story while avoiding the really tough questions like, "Why did the BBC announce the collapse of World Trade Center 7 twenty six minutes before it actually happened?" Or, "How did President Bush's Secret Service know he was not a target sitting in that school on Florida?"
The media cannot ask, let alone answer, those questions, so the propagandists gin up this "No plane" theory and plant it online to give the corporate media an easy handle with which to ridicule and dismiss the whole idea of doubting the official story of 9-11.
And with the anniversary of 9-11 just a week away I am already being flooded with emails insisting I "admit" there was no passenger jet at the Pentagon. But consider... The perpetrators have to get rid of the passenger jet and the passengers anyway. Why NOT crash it into the Pentagon? What is the REASON to substitute something else for the passenger jet at the Pentagon? There is a very real risk of exposure to such a hoax. What is to be gained from taking such a risk? To find if you are being lied to, look for what should be there and is not, and what is missing from the whole "No Plane" story is a reason for something other than the Passenger jet to be crashed into the Pentagon.

9/11 has been one of the biggest events in recent history that sparked a mass awakening across the world. There has been much debate as to how it happened, who is responsible and why. To this day about 1/3 of americans do not believe the official story. In other areas of the world as much as 90% of the country does not believe the official story.
Here is a list of 24 facts that cannot be debunked about 9/11.
This is a good collection of the facts in the 9-11 case (which we will go into in much more detail as we approach the anniversary) but this author has fallen for the propaganda trap of the "no plane at Pentagon" hoax, a "poison the well" piece of nonsense planted into the discussion to give the corporate media an easy handle to ridicule and dismiss the entire question of whether the official story is true or not.

We are at a unique and critical juncture at the 14th year after the events of 9/11. Several developments are providing great potential for spreading wider awareness of the alternative research on 9/11. New opportunities have emerged providing a platform for activists to work to achieve accountability, justice, and comprehensive human progress by taking action to the next level – the political arena.
This year's event will present panels to examine these developments. We will evaluate several events such as the emergence of an FBI whistleblower on the anthrax attacks, legislation in Congress to declassify 28 pages of 9/11 evidence and the political repercussions approaching the next presidential election. We will present concrete and feasible steps of action. We'll also look at broadening our understanding of psychological resistance to 9/11 alternative research, an in-depth analysis of the reality of our legal system and what the ideal model would look like.
Waking Times
The Patriot Act was passed only 45 days after 9/11 in an alleged effort to catch terrorists and protect national security. But statistics prove that instead of catching terrorists, the Patriot Act has made it easier for the US government to spy on ordinary Americans and actually turns regular citizens into suspects for crimes that have nothing to do with national security.
If you can't unite your subjects by serving their common interests, you can do it using a common enemy. And if this common enemy doesn't exist—no problem, you can create one with your own hands. You can give it the opportunity to grow up, give it weapons, grant it immunity and release it into the world.
The most important thing in such a creation is that it must be horrible. It must be self-evidently horrible. So horrible that everyone—even the idiots—could understand that this—this thing covered in blood, holding a torn-off human leg in its hand—is the only alternative to having the United States of America in complete control of everything. That burning people alive, mass executions, beheadings, sanctioned rapes—this is the only alternative to gay marriage, feminism, total surveillance of everyone and extraterritorial American "justice."
The western establishment is nurturing ISIS like an attack dog, feeding it, training it to like human blood, in order to then release it and offer people the freedom of choice: you can die in its teeth, or you can hide behind a gate, the keys to which are in the hands of global capitalism......
The growing anti-Islam rhetoric in the United States underlines the need for further research into the origin of the September 11, 2001 attacks, an American scholar and journalist in Wisconsin says.
My Yahoo email account was hacked last night and a spoof email about my being robbed in London was sent out by the hackers, who are apparently based in Arizona. Hopefully, I have fixed the problem with my email security. (Note: My spidey-senses tell me this was most likely a calculated attack to attempt to discredit Mr. Christopher Bollyn in the run-up to the anniversary of 9-11)
A nuclear strike against Afghanistan was on the table in Washington in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, a senior German diplomat told Spiegel magazine.
Michael Steiner, the current German ambassador to India, served as foreign and security policy aide to then-German Chancellor Gerhard Schroder at the time of the 9/11 attacks.
"The papers were written," he said, confirming that the nuclear option was under consideration. "They had really played through all possibilities."

Book Review of "Islamic Resistance to Imperialism" by Eric Walberg
Eric Walberg has now written three books on the topic of Islamic culture in relation to Western geo-politics and world events. He is a prolific journalist and scholar who has lived in Central Asia and the Middle East.
In Walberg's third book, "Islamic Resistance to Imperialism" (2015, Clarity Press, 304 pages), he presents a view of the world most people in the West, especially those exposed to a diet of mainstream media may not be familiar with or sympathetic to. Issues that deal with religion, culture and geo-politics are inherently complex. Even worse, disinformation is intentionally promulgated by Western governments and their lapdogs in the media to mislead the public into supporting the West's "war on terror."...
District Judge Stephen Nicholls said: 'This is not a public inquiry into 9/11. This is an offence under section 363 of the Communications Act.'
He said he had difficulty sitting in the magistrates' court as he 'did not believe he had the power to rule under the terrorism act'.
'I believe the BBC, who are directly funded by the licence fee, are furthering the purposes of terrorism and I have incontrovertible evidence to this effect. I do not use this word lightly given where I am'
He said: 'Even if I accept the evidence you say, this court has no power to create a defence in the manner which you put forward.'
Sentencing, Judge Nicholls said: 'Mr Rooke puts the basis of his defence under Section 15 of the Terrorism Act, effectively asking the court to find the BBC is a terrorist organisation and that if he continues to pay them he himself is committing a criminal offence.
Read the comments (now closed). NOBODY believes the official story of 9-11! The judges job is to protect the official story, no matter how silly it makes him look!
Scholars working on the contemporary Middle East are living through something of a golden age where evidence is uniquely plentiful for three reasons.
First, the disastrous failures of US policy in Afghanistan and Iraq have led to an unprecedented programme of declassification of documents (some with significant redactions) as part of the cathartic process of trying to understand how so many mistakes were made before and after 9/11.
A $4.2 billion dollar fund set up in 2010 to cover healthcare costs of 9/11 survivors is set to run out next year, leaving approximately 70,000 enrolled patients to their own devices.
Many remember the haunting photograph: A woman wearing business attire and pearls is covered head-to-toe in white dust, her hands held out helplessly before her, as she makes her way out of the World Trade Center's damaged North Tower on September 11, 2001.
A 9/11 survivor whose photograph became one of the enduring images of the terrorist attacks has died aged 42 after suffering from stomach cancer.
Marcy Borders became known as the "dust lady" after a photo showed her covered in dust as she escaped the World Trade Center during the attacks.
Ms Borders, a mother of two, died on Monday, her family said on Facebook.
She blamed her cancer on inhaling dust during the attack and suffered from alcoholism and anxiety in later years.
Governments from around the world admit they carry out false flag terror:
Professor Quassim Cassam has been awarded £250,000 by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) to study what he calls 'intellectual vices'. The title of his project is 'Vice Epistemology'.
He believes his research could help to explain how certain claims – for example that 9/11 was masterminded by the US government – are able to gain so much traction.
His findings may also shed light on why some people are susceptible to becoming radicalised in ways that make them potential recruits for extremist organisations such as Islamic State.

Unraveling the Mysteries of Flight 11
False flags are often planned to coincide with drills. This occurred with the Boston Marathon bombing (which happened during a bomb drill) and the recent Charleston massacre (which coincided with a DHS "active shooter threat" drill). The reason for coordinating false flags with drills is that if anything goes wrong, and the false flag cannot be carried out, the authorities can attribute any strange events the public witnessed to "a drill."
Our thesis will be: Ong and Sweeney (Flt 11 flight attendants) believed they were participating in a hijacking drill. Those familiar with 9/11's backstory know that NORAD and the Air Force were engaged in military exercises that day, including simulated hijackings. Information about this can be found abundantly on the Internet.
The U.S. military has canceled a pretrial hearing for suspects in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, a military spokesman said on Sunday, in another setback for the government in its efforts to try the five men being held at Guantanamo.
A defense department spokesman said the hearing, originally scheduled for Aug. 24 to Sept. 4, was canceled by the military judge.
"The judge cited issues that remain unresolved with regard to a claimed defense counsel conflict of interest," said Commander Gary Ross.
What is likely happening is that the case against these men, framed for the crime Israel and the US did, is falling apart, and stalling their day in court is the only way to keep this from being a total melt-down.
The Israeli Daily got wind of this dramatic political development after Trump's limo driver leaked the information while fooling around with Israeli tourists outside of Trump Tower in Manhattan.
Sources close to the Prime Minister revealed he was given the unexpected nod through third party 'back-channel negotiators'. He remarked to inner, inner-circle staff member, Sarah Netanyahu, "What chutzpah! Choosing a running mate before being nominated. What is he? Israeli?"
Opposition leaders in the Israeli government believe Bibi accepted The Donald's invitation purely as a plan B strategy. Backup insurance in case his hawkish coalition government turns to shit.
Just kidding!
I got to admit, I didn't even know this memorial existed. However, it took me two seconds to realize why – it received zero publicity. Now why do you suppose that? Why hasn't the media expressed their gratitude? Name me another country that's done more? This is a stunning memorial which pales into insignificance whatever the real terrorist gangsters are trying to do at ground zero. The very thought of Larry Silverstein & Frank Lowy having anything to do with the memorial for 9/11 victims is positively gut-wrenching!
On the day of the 9-11 attacks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was asked what the attacks would mean for US-Israeli relations. His quick reply was: "It's very good…….Well, it's not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy (for Israel)"
The Pentagon is blocking the return of UK permanent resident Shaker Aamer and two other longtime Guantánamo Bay detainees for whom the US Department of State has completed diplomatic deals to transfer home, the Guardian has learned.
American and UK diplomats reached an agreement in late 2013 for the return of Aamer, who has spent more than 13 years at the infamous detention facility without charge, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the understanding.
But even as the White House pledged to make his case a priority after a personal plea from David Cameron, Barack Obama's defense secretaries have played what one official called "foot-dragging and process games" to let the deals languish.
The Pentagon is loathe to release some of these prisoners of war because in some cases, water-boarding was not the worst that was done to them. And this is very graphic language, folks, but you need to understand what was done with your money and in your name, outsourced to such "freedom loving" countries as Pakistan and Morocco:
Benyam Mohammed travelled from London to Afghanistan in July 2001, but after September 11 he fled to Pakistan. He was arrested at Karachi airport on April 10 2002, and describes being flown by a US government plane to a prison in Morocco. These are extracts from his diary. They cut off my clothes with some kind of doctor's scalpel. I was naked. I tried to put on a brave face. But maybe I was going to be raped. Maybe they'd electrocute me. Maybe castrate me. They took the scalpel to my right chest. It was only a small cut. Maybe an inch. At first I just screamed ... I was just shocked, I wasn't expecting ... Then they cut my left chest. This time I didn't want to scream because I knew it was coming. One of them took my penis in his hand and began to make cuts. He did it once, and they stood still for maybe a minute, watching my reaction. I was in agony. They must have done this 20 to 30 times, in maybe two hours. There was blood all over. "I told you I was going to teach you who's the man," [one] eventually said. They cut all over my private parts. One of them said it would be better just to cut it off, as I would only breed terrorists. I asked for a doctor.
What the torturers wanted were confessions to make their other big cases stick, and look legitimate as though there was a reasonable justification for what they were doing. And please note: there were, ultimately, no charges filed against this man, and no trial.
That this manner of sadistic behaviour against any prisoner of war was not only tolerated, but ordered by the highest level of the US government, should have been cause for a trial of that most unholy of trinities Bush, Rumsfeld, and Cheney; however, because it appears that they made a deal Candidate Obama who ultimately became President Obama, that will only happen when pigs fly.
Right after the one minute mark!
"All off a sudden I heard a roar and saw one of the towers blow and then collapse ... and I saw from street level as though it exploded up a giant rolling ball of flame, and the firefighter screamed run ... and I think both of us were sure we were dead ... but somehow we escaped the flame which was immediately followed by a storm of debris."
"I was standing at the corner of Barkley Street and Washington Street ... it looked like a bomb went off and a fireball must have shot right up the street because everything on the street was completely devastated. Vehicles were burnt out, windows were blown out..."
"The streets of the financial district covered with debris, in some cases ankle deep. Cars on fire, cars just turned by the force of the explosions."
"This must have been ground zero where this thing blew up. Car after car after car, buses, completely obliterated and burned straight down to the steel. "
The rising toll of Ground Zero responders and others afflicted with 9/11-linked cancers has hit 3,700.
The staggering tally of those suffering cancers certified by the feds as 9/11-related includes FDNY members (1,100), cops and other Ground Zero responders (2,134), and survivors such as downtown workers and residents (467). Many have more than one type of cancer.
The FDNY's chief medical officer, Dr. David Prezant, said over 2,100 firefighters and EMS personnel have retired on disability with World Trade Center-related illnesses, mostly lung disease and cancer, since 9/11.
In a recent letter to US President Barack Obama twelve Nobel Peace laureates declared their support for the long history of US elite violence against Native Americans and enslaved Africans, as well as the US imperial violence around the world that has butchered tens of millions of people over the past 200 years.

As the 14th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, it's important to remind people that we still don't know what happened that day. What is known about 9/11 is that there are many incredible facts that continue to be ignored by the government and the mainstream media.
Stuck in a perpetual post-9/11 milieu of uncontested false flag terror: the never ending war on terror only benefiting Israel; impoverished by an economic collapse engineered by an unprosecuted banking cabal, homeless, penniless, jobless; imprisoned in a high-tech DHS police state, spied upon by space-based and weaponized drones; living in an open air toxic waste pit: vaccinated, chem-trailed, fracked and Fukushima irradiated Americans will receive Bernie Sanders as their savior. But, Sanders, the good Kibbutz'er, Zionist will only take the continuity of government tools already made available; open up the FEMA camps in preparation of the "final solution" for millions of Americans.

Once we defeat the Israeli-directed attempt to derail the Iran deal in Congress we can safely go out into the streets declaiming: Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty, we're free at last!
The Iran deal is a turning point in US foreign policy, and its approval by Congress will represent a sea change in American politics: it will mark nothing less than a day of liberation which future generations might dub "VI Day" – victory over Israel day.
The signing of the Iran deal, and its probable approval by Congress – it doesn't look like the War Party has the votes to overturn it – heralds the victory of the countercoup, i.e. the overthrow of the Lobby's stranglehold and the eventual restoration of a pro-American foreign policy. This was evident in practically every line of President Obama's recent speech at American University, and the text deserves closer examination than it has so far gotten.
As the 14th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, it's important to remind people that we still don't know what happened that day. What is known about 9/11 is that there are many incredible facts that continue to be ignored by the government and the mainstream media. Here are fourteen.
Undermined by the U.S. government's refusal to share everything it knows about the September 11 attacks, the pursuit of justice by 9/11 family members and survivors could be stopped in its tracks within the next 90 days. In a courtroom just minutes from the World Trade Center, lawyers for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia last Thursday asked Judge George Daniels to release the kingdom from a lawsuit seeking to hold it liable for aiding the 9/11 hijackers.
The former US ambassador to Saudi Arabia said in an interview that current Saudi King Salman told him after 9/11 that the Israeli Mossad intelligence agency was responsible.
"One of my first calls was with then-governor of Riyadh, Prince Salman, who is now the king. His response was very emphatic, this could not have been Saudis. We couldn't possibly have done this," the former ambassador Robert Jordan said on CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS.
"This had to have been an Israeli plot. The Mossad must have done this," Salman said at the time.
Current Women's Bantamweight Title Holder Ronda Rousey called the September 11 attacks an "inside job" during a 2011 interview on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast.
After being questioned on conspiracies surrounding 9/11, Rousey asserted that the event undoubtedly had government involvement.
About a month after the September 11th attacks, I read an article in the Tampa Tribune by Kathy Steele entitled "Phantom Flight From Florida." The intriguing report told the tale of a flight out of Florida that allegedly took place on September 13 - a day when ALL civilian air traffic in the United States was grounded. "This was out of a Tom Clancy movie," according to a retired homicide detective who was hired for the flight. Its mission was to spirit the son of a Saudi prince, the son of a Saudi army commander, and another unidentified Saudi from Florida to Kentucky, because "there was a perceived threat, and the family of the person wanted him home right away."
On Reality Asserts Itself, Mr. Drake, a former Senior Executive at the National Security Agency, says he was targeted by the NSA because he exposed that the agency had intel that could have prevented the 9/11 attacks and because he blew the whistle on a massive secret surveillance program aimed at Americans.
The Bob Tuskin Tustle was a segment that said what everyone was absolutely waiting for someone to say. It is a classic. Today, as "social media" is now "the King", it might be hard for some to fathom that this show was revolutionary and remains so to this day.
The rulers of the two most powerful authoritarian regimes in the Middle East are launching major wars to reconfigure the Middle East.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has declared war by proxy on Iran, announcing full-scale military mobilization within Israel (July 27 -29) and organizing the biggest political campaign of ultra Zionist Jews in Washington. The purpose of this two-pronged propaganda blitz is to defeat the recently signed US-Iranian agreement and start another major Middle East war.
At the same time, Turkish Prime Minister Erodogan has launched a major war against the Kurdish people and their aspirations for a Kurdish state. T
The inescapable conclusion drawn from this is that a lot of very odd things had to happen to put Flight 93 on a direct collision course with Building 7 at just the right time after the two towers were cleared out of the way. Odd that is, if one believes they all happened by chance.
But, if you take a look at these events in the context of a deliberate schedule then you see that these "odd occurrences" took place in exactly the right sequence to put that plane in the north face of Building 7 at just the precise moment to not only justify the complete collapse of the building (and destruction of volumes of evidence) but also to serve as the final terrifying act of the "New Pearl Harbor" event the neocon Vulcans sitting in the command bunker had written about just 1 year earlier.
Among those receiving this soon-to-be-released, 50-page guide to the WTC evidence will be every employee, contractor, and contributor who worked on the NIST and FEMA investigations; the national and local leadership of several institutions, including the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE); and thousands of A/E professors and industry leaders. We'll also be mailing it to more than 1,250 supporters who donated so generously to make this campaign possible!
We would like to thank everyone who chipped in to help us reach our goal. Because of your generosity, we will be able to blanket the architecture and engineering community with the evidence of what happened at the World Trade Center on 9/11. We are confident that the dissemination of Beyond Misinformation this fall and in the years to come will land a major blow to the A/E community's acceptance of the official account and will give more and more architects and engineers the courage to speak up.
Jeb Bush's work as an adviser at Lehman Brothers and Barclays puts him squarely in the middle of two of the largest financial crimes in recent history.
In the summer of 2001, while the American media kept the people distracted with "All Condit All The Time", the US Government was informing other governments that we would be at war in Afghanistan no later than October.
Former interior minister and senior leader of Pakistan Peoples' Party (PPP) Senator Rehman Malik has blamed the Indian spy agency Research & Analysis Wing (RAW) for involvement in incidents of terrorism and sabotage in Mumbai blasts as well as in Samjhauta Express
There appears to be a bigger lie than "weapons of mass destruction." It's not simply that the illegal invasion of Iraq was based on lies, but that the entire "war on terrorism" is likely based on lies.
We were told by our government that Afghanistan was invaded for giving shelter to Osama bin Laden, who was responsible for the 9/11 attacks. Mainstream press have pushed this so repeatedly that "9/11? and "Osama bin Laden" have become interchangeable.

I urge anyone who reads this to watch the video above called All Wars Are Bankers Wars that will reinforce my stance and opinion into a more digestible understanding of the how and why and greed and inhumanity, as there is far more going on here than I can put into this already over lengthy op-ed and I will now explain why and how we keep the wars going and in doing so make a small cartel of banksters richer… for here is the crux of it all and HERE is an example of exactly how I understand what happens…
Environmental scientist Paul J. Lioy, whose work focused on the health effects of the dust produced by 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York, died suddenly at the age of 68 at Newark Liberty International Airport.
The cause of Lioy's death has yet to be determined, according to his wife Jean Lioy.
If we are to win we need to understand, deal with and repudiate four basic inter-related problems, broad-based areas, facing the world vis a vis the oligarchy, organizations and people that are threatening our freedoms, our religions, our God, our very lives (depopulation):
1. The Rothschild private banking cartel that controls the money system of the world, and inter-connected multinational corporations that dominate the world's economic matrix.
2. Zionism, the political system fostered by the Rothschilds and the UK elite, and brought about the creation of its nuclear armed nation-state actor Israel; especially understanding the difference between Zionism and Judaism>>>
Germany: many Jews, part Jews (Mischlinge), served in the WWII German NaZis party and army; that the Holocaust was, in part, emblematic of the strife between the Zionist NaZi Jews working on the Israel plan, and those Jews (refuseniks) who reject their nationalist ideology.
Researchers found within the computer informational field what appears to be proof of foreknowledge of 9/11. The huge spike in chatter regarding the events immediately prior to the strikes is completely anomalous. In other words, it goes on to say, for it to be just a coincidence is next to impossible.
The White House's story of how US special forces hunted down and assassinated arch terrorist Osama bin Laden in his secret lair in Pakistan is unraveling.
The official narrative of the bin Laden raid is that for over a decade, US intelligence hunted for the terror chief until a surveillance/torture-enabled breakthrough tracked him to a secret compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. On 1st May 2011, US Navy Seals entered the compound and assassinated him in a furious firefight.
The operation demonstrated how far the US military intelligence community had come since the days of 9/11, proving how its disparate agencies had now developed a tremendous capacity to share and process often obscure intelligence data, to guide precision covert counter-terror missions.
After killing bin Laden, the al-Qaeda leader was buried at sea. When the raid was officially announced, Pakistan, a key US ally in the fight against al-Qaeda, was incensed at the US operation on its own soil.

We need to do a lot more searching, a lot deeper digging, if we're going to root out and destroy the virus that has been killing us for centuries!
For over half a century, I've written articles against racism and war. I was shocked and I grieved to see what happened at the Charleston Emanuel Church. Quickly, the call went out: We need to have a "conversation" about race in America! And, almost as quickly: Take down the Confederate flag! But, let's be very clear: the Confederate flag is NOT a central issue here.
On the 4th of July, when Americans raise their flags as a proud symbol of their "freedom," will anyone dare to lower their flags to half-mast to commemorate the 60,000 Americans who died in a now-acknowledged "unnecessary" war in Vietnam– let alone the millions of Asians?
Would it be disrespectful even to suggest such a gesture?
The prove-a-negative trap is the Big Lie technique of Nazi propagandist Josef Goebbels: there is no substance to the allegations and there is no obligation to present evidence to verify, thanks to the dutiful and unquestioning nature of Western corporate "journalism".
The United States and its Western allies are trying to ensnare Russia in an audacious disinformation trap over the Ukraine conflict. That trap involves imposing an insoluble conundrum on Vladimir Putin's government, which we might call "prove a negative". It is a familiar conceptual device that Washington has used elsewhere, against Iraq and Iran for example, in order to pursue what are otherwise illegitimate geopolitical aims.Russia is being held up as the guilty party that is undermining the shaky Minsk ceasefire; and Western economic sanctions are being extended "until Russia implements the ceasefire".
The West is finished, its culture dead. What is left is unattractive, even horrifying. There is no heart, no compassion, and no creativity.
It was the first time in many years that I had missed my column, my essays, for several weeks.
I was shocked by the state in which I found the United States.
I couldn't breath. I lost the ability to write. I felt anger building inside me. The anger was suffocating, strangling me. It was unhealthy anger, mixed with frustration! It was not that sacred anger one feels when going to a battle against great evil. It was also somehow petty, indescribable, and pathetic. It was breaking me, humiliating me.
I hated the fights I had to fight here.
I tried to see the reality that was surrounding me with different eyes but wherever I looked I saw only a dysfunctional, sad, collapsing country and culture.
This visit broke me. It exhausted me. It thoroughly depressed me.
The BBC is purposely withholding information that is of vital interest to the UK public and ultimately endangering the very public the BBC is contractually obligated "to serve".
According to the UK Terrorism Act of 2000, section 15, part 3, 'A person commits an offense if he—(a) provides money or other property, and (b) knows or has reasonable cause to suspect that it will or may be used for the purposes of terrorism.'
In this edition of INfocus, we shall provide proof that the BBC is using UK public funds to suppress evidence of controlled demolition of World Trade Center 7 (WTC 7) on 9/11.
Specifically the BBC has produced several programmes that attempt to cover up evidence that proves the official version of the collapse of WTC 7 is physically impossible, most notably the evidence that makes clear that WTC 7 collapsed in a symmetrical, free-fall manner largely into its own footprint.
there are still some loose change derp derps out there who need to see this.
WEBMASTER ADDITION: The people screaming "pods", "beams", and "no plane at the Pentagon" are government propagandists trying to "poison the well."
It is good to see the videos from Mr. Christopher Bollyn's "Solving 9-11 Ends The War" 2015 tour continuing to go Truth Viral.
"NEW 2015! Solving 9/11 Christopher Bollyn Live in Dallas TX Feb 12, 2015" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVHstSrC1CQ
Yes, this was a highly successful tour by 9-11 TRUTH Advocate Mr. Christopher Bollyn which I think have scored three great victories for Bollyn and the Truth Movement.
First, there was the concern as to what would happen the second Mr. Bollyn stepped onto Zio-Occupied U.S. Soil as he has been in political exile ever since The Tribe released "Jubala, Jubalo, and Jubalum" with guns and badges on him and his family back in 2006 in an attempt to silence him by beating him up on his own property . . ..
. . .and then, in typical Jewish Modus Operandi, turned around, played the "victim" and claimed Mr. Bollyn "assaulted" the "innocent Police Officers" ("Heroes" since 9-11, of course).

Considerable attention has been devoted to the millions of dollars Bill and Hillary Clinton have received from wealthy individuals and corporations for their foundation and for themselves.
Hillary Clinton's greatest billionaire backer has been Haim Saban, a dual United States-Israel citizen and hardline supporter of Israel, who has openly commented, "I'm a one-issue guy, and my issue is Israel."
It would not be beyond the realm of possibility that those who handed over tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Clinton Foundation (some of which took place while Hillary was Secretary of State) or to the couple themselves for speaker fees expected favors in return.
The CIA has released declassified versions of five internal documents dealing with the 9/11 terror attacks, according to a press release sent to reporters on Friday afternoon. The documents are described as being "related to the Agency's performance in the lead-up to the attacks."
Mostly likely it's getting attention so the 2016 president can start a new war with SA. That's not what we need.
We had Three huge stories and no media. 1 That the government admits state sponsorship of 911 terrorists 2 The government admits supporting the creation and ability of ISIS 3 It was discovered the Federal Reserve spent 16 trillion dollars in secret bailouts There is basically no reporting on these things.

True to form, the CIA waited until 4:16 p.m. EDT this afternoon to release a trove of documents related to the September 11 attacks. Deep within one of those documents is a section on everything the agency learned after 9/11 about "Issues Relating to Saudi Arabia." We can now share it here for the first time.
The Clinton administration had bankrupted the intelligence community and refused to let the CIA prioritize anti-terrorism over other major priorities in the late 1990s, leaving the agency stretched too thin in the days ahead of the 2001 terrorist attacks, former Director George J. Tenet said in a 2005 document declassified Friday.
Oh? What about all that cash the CIA was raking in from the Iran-Contra drug smuggling that was going on in Arkansas just before Clinton became President?

The former NBA superstar's nicknames range from "Superman" to "The Big Aristotle" to "The Diesel." Now his own website says he's a 9/11 "Truther," the New York Post reported.
The term "Truther" refers to the 9/11 Truth movement, which consists of conspiracy theorists disputing the accounts of the terrorist attacks carried out almost 14 years ago.
The website posted an entry on Thursday about the 9/11 terrorist attacks possibly being an "inside job" while at the same time asking "Are we getting the truth?," the report added. The entry also included a slow-motion video of the second jet crashing into the south tower of the World Trade Center.
Let's be honest; at this stage the only people who are not 9-11 truthers are those on government and media paychecks (and probably most of them are closet-truthers who stay silent to keep their jobs).
"I flew the two actual aircraft which were involved in 9/11; the Fight number 175 and Flight 93, the 757 that allegedly went down in Shanksville and Flight 175 is the aircraft that's alleged to have hit the South Tower.
I don't believe it's possible for, like I said, for a terrorist, a so-called terrorist to train on a [Cessna] 172, then jump in a cockpit of a 757-767 class cockpit, and vertical navigate the aircraft, lateral navigate the aircraft, and fly the airplane at speeds exceeding it's design limit speed by well over 100 knots, make high-speed high-banked turns, exceeding — pulling probably 5, 6, 7 G's.
And the aircraft would literally fall out of the sky. I couldn't do it and I'm absolutely positive they couldn't do it."
An older article from Salem News, but a good reminder: "Former Italian President Francesco Cossiga, who died in 2010, the man who revealed the existence of Operation Gladio, told Italy's oldest and most widely read newspaper in 2007 that the 9-11 terrorist attacks were run by the CIA and Mossad, and that this was common knowledge among global intelligence agencies.

Legendary pilot Gen. Chuck Yeager in court Monday in breach-of-contract lawsuit
By PABLO LOPEZ | The Fresno Bee | Published: April 27, 2014
FRESNO, Calif. — On the steps of a Fresno courthouse, legendary Gen. Charles "Chuck" Yeager talked about shooting down Nazi German planes during World War II, breaking the sound barrier in an experimental aircraft in 1947 and parachuting out of a free-falling supersonic jet after his pressurized suit caught fire.
He also talked about his latest enemy – a Fresno law firm that has sued him for breach of contract.
"I would rather be fighting them in the air than stuck in this ... courtroom," Yeager, 91, said last week. "Nothing but a bunch of baloney going on in there."
The American war hero who trained astronauts for NASA and still believes he can fly fighter jets is a defendant in a 5-year-old lawsuit filed by the oldest law firm in Fresno.
Wild, Carter & Tipton, founded in 1893, contends that Yeager and his wife, Victoria Scott Yeager, never paid for its services in a number of civil cases and have an unpaid bill of nearly $270,000.
The Yeagers say the firm was doing the work for free and have countersued Wild, Carter & Tipton for legal malpractice and breach of fiduciary duty.
The civil trial starts Monday in Fresno County Superior Court.
In an interview Thursday, the Yeagers described the case as David vs. Goliath. They are defending themselves, while Wild, Carter & Tipton has hired attorneys Marshall Whitney, Mandy Jeffcoach and Kristi Marshall of the Fresno firm McCormick, Barstow, Sheppard, Wayte & Carruth.
The Yeagers also contend they haven't gotten a fair shake from the Fresno court system.
Before Judge Kristi Kapetan was picked to be the trial judge, the case had been assigned to Judge Jeffrey Hamilton, who worked for McCormick Barstow in the early 1990s.
Victoria Yeager said Hamilton should have declared a conflict because his pretrial rulings have been unfair. Hamilton said Friday that judicial ethics prohibit him from commenting.
In a ruling in March, Hamilton ordered the Yeagers to pay the McCormick Barstow lawyers $7,740 for delaying the trial. The trial was continued six times when the Yeagers needed only one continuance, the judge said.
In addition, Hamilton closed discovery – the time for gathering evidence – which the Yeagers contend will prohibit them from presenting their case.
The Yeagers contend the McCormick Barstow lawyers also aren't playing fair. Thursday, they dismissed the General Chuck Yeager Foundation as a defendant from the suit. That's bad for the Yeagers because the lawyer representing the foundation can't assist them in their arguments.
As the trial nears, the Yeagers said one issue weighs heavily on their minds – their request for a jury trial. Their opponent wants Kapetan to decide the lawsuit after hearing testimony.
"The general wants to tell his side and let the people decide who's right," Victoria Yeager said.
Kapetan is expected to decide Monday on the jury request.
Whitney and Jeffcoach declined to comment Thursday, saying they did not want to disparage Yeager or his reputation. But in court papers, they contend Yeager's wife is taking advantage of him and got him in legal trouble.
Yeager bristled at the allegation, saying his wife takes good care of him.
"Look at her," he said, smiling. "I got a good deal."
Chuck Yeager was just launching his life as an American icon when he married his first wife in 1945. Chuck and Glennis Yeager were married 45 years until her death in 1990.
The Yeagers had retired to the Grass Valley area years earlier, and Yeager stayed in the area after his wife died. He met actress Victoria Scott D'Angelo on a hiking trail there in 2000, and they married in August 2003.
Since then, Yeager has been thrust into nearly two dozen lawsuits involving a variety of opponents, including his own children. He also has gone through more than 20 attorneys in a span of less than seven years, including 10 lawyers to fight Wild, Carter & Tipton.
"Prior to that, General Yeager had no real exposure to litigation," the McCormick Barstow lawyers say in court papers, which note that Victoria Yeager was involved in more than 30 lawsuits before marrying Yeager.
In an interview, the Yeagers said they live on the general's pension in a modest three-bedroom, two-bath home on 30 acres in the Gold Country community of Penn Valley.
They drove to Fresno in a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado pickup. The only tipoff to Yeager's life of excitement is the license plate: BELL X1, the plane that Yeager flew faster than the speed of sound way back in 1947.
Yeager said his advancing age barely limits him. He wears a hearing aid but doesn't need a walker or assistance to get around. He said he still drives and flies private planes. A couple of years ago, he broke the sound barrier again in a military jet above Edwards Air Force Base, and said he could do it again if given the opportunity.
When his wife tries to give details of his exploits, he takes over the conversation.
He recalled being 21 when he shot down his first German plane near Berlin in March 1944. He was flying a P-51 Mustang that he said was the first plane to penetrate Germany and reach Berlin to hunt down the powerful Luftwaffe.
As an Air Force test pilot, he became the first human to travel faster than the speed of sound on Oct. 14, 1947, flying the experimental Bell X-1 plane above the Mojave Desert at a top speed of Mach 1.06 (700 mph).
He broke the world speed record again on Dec. 12, 1953, going Mach 2.44 in an X-1A aircraft. During the flight, he lost control and plummeted nearly 50,000 feet before regaining control.
In 1962, Yeager became the first commandant of the Aerospace Research Pilot School, training astronauts in the early years of NASA.
Despite Yeager's achievements, his life has been complicated by lawsuits – including one brought by a daughter.
Yeager had four children with his first wife. Victoria Yeager said Glennis was a "great wife to the general" because she took care of the finances "and gave him his freedom to do what he wanted to do."
Before she died, Glennis Yeager set up a tax-shelter corporation for their children into which earnings from Yeager's books, commercials and speeches flowed. But after Yeager remarried, he began battling his daughter Susan Yeager in court over control of his private assets, which had been placed in a trust.
Victoria Yeager, who is younger than any of her stepchildren, declined to talk about the family's legal fight. "It costs money to be rich because everyone wants a piece of you," she said.
Wild, Carter & Tipton at one point represented Chuck and Victoria Yeager in the case against Susan Yeager. It was one of seven suits the Fresno law firm took on the Yeagers' behalf before ending their relationship in 2008.
When the Yeagers didn't pay, Wild, Carter & Tipton sued them in January 2009. The Yeagers then countersued, saying the lawyers bungled the cases. The Yeagers also contend that they thought the lawyers were doing the cases pro bono since there was no written contract, court records say.
Wild, Carter & Tipton contends in court papers that, even without a written contract, the firm is entitled to be paid for its services, especially since it provided "the Yeagers with monthly billing statements that evidence their hourly rate, the time expended and a description of their work performed."
One of the cases involved AT&T. In November 2007, Wild, Carter & Tipton filed a complaint against AT&T on behalf of the Yeagers, accusing the corporate giant of violating the general's privacy and by using his name without permission in a news release for its Cingular Wireless product. In June 2012, the Yeagers won $135,000 in damages in the case.
In court papers, the Yeagers contend that Wild, Carter & Tipton did not advise them of a $300,000 offer to settle the case.
But Wild, Carter & Tipton says "there is no such evidence such an offer was ever made by AT&T." The only offer Wild, Carter & Tipton knew about was for $20,000 that the Yeagers declined, court papers say.
The Yeagers also accuse the lawyers of negligence, saying the case was worth much more, but Wild, Carter & Tipton says the Yeagers have no evidence to support their allegations.
In another case, Wild, Carter & Tipton represented the Yeagers against Park River Oak Estates Homeowners Association in Sacramento.
The association accused the Yeagers of failing to pay a monthly assessment fee. Once the Yeagers got rid of Wild, Carter & Tipton, they were represented by at least five other attorneys before losing the suit and owing $43,135 in damages, court records say.
Victoria Yeager said she and her husband don't trust lawyers.
"They're complaining now, but they took the cases because they thought they were going to get rich off the general," she said.
American aviation icon Gen. Chuck Yeager, 89, is photographed at Nevada County Airport in Grass Valley, California, November 6, 2012. Behind him is his plane, an Aviat Huskey.

The Five Faces season wasn't edited into movies, they ran the original episodes, but stripped four days a week. For five weeks on Mondays, we had the first episode of a vintage Doctor Who at 5.40, then The Adventure Game, and then after a half hour gap, a new episode of Blake's 7! The movie compilations were earlier, between about '72 and '77, when there'd be one or two each Christmas (from '78 onwards, the Beeb went over to running two or three complete stories in the summer instead). Oh, and the 1982 vintage repeats season, Doctor Who and the Monsters, was re-edited, into two double length episodes for each story. But of course, to get back to the original point, there weren't any Doctor Who repeats during the 60s, which is the era that's missing, aside from a repeat of the first episode the following week, and of Evil of the Daleks in summer '68.
I know The Five Faces Of Doctor Who weren't exdited into movie format, but repeats from the '70s were. And of course there no or few repeats in the '60s because the wasn't off the air for long til the end of the Troughton era.
The sad thing is if they'd waited just a few more years, the VCR boom would have opened up a huge new demand.
Every episode exists in one form or another, even if it is just audio with pictures. I've been watching fan-made reconstructions. They're not particularly difficult to find. I felt it was worth sticking with because you do get characters referring back to things that happened in these 'missing' stories, and it's nice to get a complete picture of what's been happening (even though generally the stories are not linked to each other).
I've now seen every episode of Jon Pertwee's era, finishing with the unwhelming Planet of the Spiders. Read my summary of the third doctor and my choice of favourite episodes here: http://doctorwhofromthestart.wordpress.com/2013/04/19/the-third-doctor-summary-best-episodes/
I'm not a fan of the Third Doctor at all, but there are quite a lot of fine stories in this era, and I liked Planet of the Spiders. In fact, I thought Pertwee was rather good in it.
I am deep into Baker territory now, and the show has improved immeasurably! Some highlights so far: The Sontaran Experiment Pyramids of Mars The Deadly Assassin The Robots of Death
Glad you like Robots of Death. And on the whole, that season (Masque of Mandragora through to Talons of Weng-Chiang) must be one of the best ever made: when Hand of Fear and Face of Evil are competing for weakest story of the season, it's a pretty good season!
I'm up to Tom Baker's final series now, and the 1980s brings with it a welcome change in tone and style (and a cool new theme tune!). The Leisure Hive
About a year ago, I started from the beginning, but I gave up after the first season. FWIW, here were my thoughts at the time...
^Cool, I think we broadly agree on a lot of those early Hartnell stories. I really disliked the historical ones, though. Some of them were quite hard-going. It's much better now; I hope to keep watching until the very end. I finally finished up Tom Baker's seven seasons, and have written a summary, with my picks of best serials from his run (which were pretty hard to choose). http://doctorwhofromthestart.wordpress.com/2013/08/13/the-fourth-doctor-summary-best-episodes/ A short break now, then I'll move onto the Davison era...
Not a bad summary, but the lack of mention for Talons and Genesis of the Daleks is kinda baffling. I thought those would be default must-see stories.
Yeah, as I mentioned in my GotD review, I found it a bit underwhelming after all the "hype". It basically introduces a face to what should be a faceless enemy, turning them into mindless drones, and retconning an origin story that worked perfectly well just being alluded to in the original Dalek serial, 'The Daleks'. That's why it didn't make my top spot, although I did still enjoy it. Talons was ok but a bit racist.
Racist? I didn't think so at all. Because the villain's a Chinese? That doesn't preclude racism, that simply implies that everyone can be fooled, and the Chinese antagonist is actually played with a sympathetic light. As for Genesis, it provided with the most tangible and important dilemma in the Doctor's life. As far as retcons go, its one of the best ones ones, and thats because it did introduce an iconic new villain, and it present the environment in which the Daleks were given birth into. Its a fascinating social study of the Kelads and the Thals, and a great character study for the Doctor and Davros, and honestly, one of the best serials of Old Who, ever. In sharp contrast, The Leisure Hive is sheer crap. Its an overproduced piece of fluff, with very little story and that barely makes any sense. If it weren't for Tom Baker's charm and wit, it would've been even worse.
Nah, more that he's played by an obviously English man, made up with false eyelids to look "a bit Chinese" and put on a "me so solly" type accent, while characters refer to him as "yellow", etc. I found it mildly uncomfortable in parts. As for Genesis, I beg to differ. The plight of the Thals and the Kaleds was more effective when it was simply alluded to in the original story. Giving the Daleks a "master" was like giving the Borg a "Queen" - an unnecessary complication that essentially "de-fangs" them. The Doctor's dilemma over their fate is a brilliant moment, however; and Davros himself does have an excellent presence. As I say, I liked it a lot, just not as much as others. Leisure Hive got in more on style and tone, I admit.
Yeah, but Leisure Hive is all style and no substance. Genesis's retcon on the Daleks origin presented with a palpable, potent, really powerful moral dilemma that has been, since then, the creative lynchpin for everything Who-related since. And, for good reason.
Possibly, but that's "Destiny of the Daleks"'s fault. In "Genesis", Davros was not the Daleks' master, he was their creator.
Yea, there's been numerous references/instances where he has been abandoned by them or outright rebelled against (IE: Different Factions of Daleks, some not wanting anything to do with him). He was their Creator, and they look to him for "original thought" at times, but, being their "Master" is incredibly rare. More like Chief Strategist. Now, definitely Davros' goal is to be their master, but, things rarely go his way
My first exposure to the Daleks was "Genesis..." when my PBS affiliate started airing the Tom Baker serials in 1982, so you would assume that's how I would want my Daleks, as "created" monsters that rebel against their maker, Davros. But once I finally saw their original 1963 serial, I found I like that version best. Even as early as their second appearance, "The Dalek Invasion of Earth", thematically they had devolved into cliched "robo-nazis from outer space". In their first appearance, they were "tragic" characters, almost to be pitied. Let me explain. With Davros we learn the Daleks were "created", even "programmed"; they had no choice in their fate. But according to "The Dead Planet", it was a gradual descent into "ugliness" of their own choosing. The Daleks were originally a learned people. Ironically, the Thals were the "villains". By their own admission, the Thals attacked the Daleks, waging a war that finally pressured the latter to perform the most desperate of acts, employ nuclear weapons. The bombs nearly destroyed both sides. The few surviving Thals retreated to their side of the planet and the remaining Daleks hunkered within the ruins of their cities. Radiation took its toll and each successive generation suffered ever worsening mutations. The genetic "scarring" got so bad that they engineered machines to aid their crippled bodies, eventually resulting in static powered, mobile "iron lungs", the iconic "travel macines". Perhaps more tragically, The Daleks' collective psyches followed the path of their bodies, each new generation growing ever more fearful, outright paranoid that the dreaded Thals might eventually return to wage war again. When the Thals do return centuries later, they are in no position to fight (not until Ian motivates them). In fact, they are barely "hanging on". But do the Daleks see this? No, they have let fear and suspicion consume their every waking thought that their response to "exterminate" before they themselves can be exterminated. But it didn't have to end like that. No one "programmed" the Daleks. They could have chosen diplomacy, negotiation. They had the technology; the Thals had a potential "cure". (Yeah, the drug had a lethal effect upon the Daleks, that's why I stated "potential".) But their "cold war" paranoia made them lash out, prompting the Thals to retaliate just as the Daleks feared they would. So, from my perspective, those original Daleks were pitiful, "tragic" characters, and thus had more emotional depth than their later depictions. Sincerely, Bill

Really nice head unit with a ton of great features. I like that you can switch the head unit to iPod/iPhone mode, I wish other companies would start doing the same.
Pros: Good sound quality, features and specs for its price range.
Cons: The display is impossible to read during the day in my truck, no matter what color I use. My windows are tinted dark and I've never had this problem with any other head units.

It was a treat to see this film with you, and I love where you've taken the concepts in this post. Candid, refreshing, inspiring. This question that you asked really hit me: "How is our busyness impacting our ability to support the ends we're most compassionate about?" One worth pondering...
Blessings and thanks.
SusanThanks for your comment Renee. The film 58 itself would not be appropriate for children (in my opinion) to watch in its entirety. They feature segments that cover topics like child trafficking in fairly raw form. That said, I certainly think you could view segments that cover other issues within poverty with children that age.
As for A Small Act...while I wasn't watching with this age group in mind I don't recall anything that wouldn't be suitable ... but gosh, I guess I'd say to be safe I'd pre-screen it if I were you. This film is fairly slow moving and has subtitles as point. Again, I found it very compelling...just not sure for that age group.

I'm the author of Prince of Thorns, King of Thorns, Emperor of Thorns, & Prince of Fools - spare ideas land here. ______________ Twitter @mark__lawrence (2 underscores!)
Monday, 24 December 2012
Wanna draw a graphic novel?
Prince of Thorns – Graphic Novel Script
Mark Lawrence
4 stacked panels onto the same scene
Panel 1 – Rooftops, the gables of a church, well-to-do but rustic village, single column of smoke rising. A line of ravens looking down from the church gables. Last of them with torn flesh hanging from beak.
Caption - Ravens! Always the ravens.
Panel 2 – Panning down we now see Jorg's head – young man, sharp features, long black hair. Smear of soot on cheekbone.
Caption - War, my friends, is a thing of beauty. Those as says otherwise are losing.
Panel 3 – Panning lower – see that Jorg is armoured in a battered platemail breastplate, spattered with gore, see some buildings have flames from windows. See other Brothers looting – brutish men in mixed armour, some old, some huge, some skinny – a rag tag bunch. See simple fountain in town square and the first of the corpses. An injured man calling for water.
Injured man: 'Water'
Caption – 'Water! Water!' It's always water with the dying. Strange ‒ it's killing that gives me a thirst.
Panel 4 – Pan to the ground and there's a sea of corpses, blood running everywhere, propped against fountain base Bovid Tor, older, fatter peasant with a woodax close by, belly opened, guts out.
Caption - And that was Mabberton.
Page 2
Rike (out of frame): 'Shit-poor farm maggots!'
Panel 2- Pan out. Jorg and Rike face each other standing to either side of Bovid, fountain behind them, blood and corpses. Where Jorg is relatively clean Rike is filthy with gore. Jorg = mature 14 y-o not far off six foot. Rike = massive man in partial platemail, bald headed, scarred, brutal face, close on seven foot tall, approaching 30. Jorg and Rike eyes locked (Jorg looking up). Severed fingers still dropping from Rike's open hand. Jorg elegant longsword, scabbarded. Rike big axe, in hand. Sub-panel, Jorg's eyes & Rike's, intense stare.
Rike: 'A whole village. One gold ring! Fecking bog-farmers.'
Jorg: 'Settle down, Brother Rike. There's more than one kind of gold in Mabberton.'
Panel 3- chest and head shot – Makin pushing between Jorg and Rike, arm around each one's shoulders. Makin, tall knight, best armoured of the bunch, midway between Rike and Jorg in height. Dark curly hair, sweaty, thick lips, amiable face, often smiling.
Makin: 'Brother Jorg is right, Little Rikey. There's treasure aplenty to be found.'
Panel 4- Close up, Makin's face turned to Rike. Makin eyebrows up, suggestive – Rike surly.
Makin: 'When you get farmers, what else do you always get, Little Rikey?'
Panel 5- Close up, Makin's face turned to Rike. Makin expectant – Rike puzzled.
Rike: Cows?
Panel 6- Close up, Makin's face turned to Rike. Makin grinning – Rike realisation.
Makin: 'Well, you can have the cows, Little Rikey. Me, I'm going to find a farmer's daughter or three.'
Panel 7- Makin and Rike, backs to us walking away toward house with broken door. Makin steering with arm across shoulder.
Rike: 'Hur, hur, hur.'
Page 3
Panel 1- Panorama of Mabberton, several columns of smoke, ravens descending on bodies. Brother Maical leading the grey horse and head cart in stage left, dripping axe, hand on reins also holds severed head by hair. Maical solid, short-cropped hair, torn chainmail shirt, vacant face. Jorg foreground, chest up, staring at the flames starting to take hold. Rike and others disappearing into one of the larger houses.
Bovid Tor (beneath the frame): 'Boy?' (weak voiced)
Caption: A thing of beauty I tell you.
Panel 2 – Jorg crouching by Bovid, Jorg sword out, point on ground, arms up on hilt, resting. Bovid sprawled and pale.
Bovid: 'Boy?'
Jorg: 'Best speak your piece quickly, farmer. Brother Gemt's a-coming with his axe. Chop-chop.'
Panel 3 – Jorg and Bovid. Bovid dying. Jorg angry.
Bovid: 'H-how old are you, boy?'
Jorg: 'Old enough to have slit you open like a fat purse.'
Bovid: 'Fifteen summers, no more. Couldn't be more….'
Panel 4 – Panorama again. More flames now, more smoke. Jorg standing looking down (at Bovid – out of frame). Head cart up close now. (we see heap of heads, tops of the wheels, Maical and Brother Gemt (smaller man, red hair, rat-faced, poc-marked).
Jorg: 'Take his head. Leave his fat belly for the ravens.'
Caption: Fifteen! I'd hardly be fifteen and rousting villages. By the time fifteen came around, I'd be King!

So how exactly do we send it in? Mail? E mail?? I might give it a shot. :P
ReplyDelete How would I be able to send or email it or whatever? I'm thinking of emtering.
I'm sorry but I don't feel that the one you've shown us does the book must justice! and I'm a perfectionist when it comes to this stuff. It'll be interesting to see if I can manage to win against all who enter, I feel like the youngest fan of the trilogy!
Is it alright if I have the drawing done on my computer though?

Who says bipartisanship is dead? From President Bush to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards, to Mitt Romney and John McCain, virtually everyone in Washington agrees: The government must Do Something to stop home foreclosures across the country. These leaders agree on the total presumption of homeowner innocence. The borrower-as-victim and lender-as-predator storylines are etched in stone. Can't let reality get in the way of election-year pander-monium. Every weekday JewishWorldReview.com publishes what many in in the media and Washington consider "must-reading".

Brethalyzer phone keeps watchful eye on Japan's truck drivers
Big tech companies like NTT DoCoMo come up with dozens of unusual applications for their gear every year, but most tend to end up consigned to glossy brochures that describe some anodyne 'perfect' future. One bizzaro contraption that is apparently out in the wild is Big D's FOMA-based Videophone Alcohol Check System - as the above photo shows, it's in use on at least one truck round these parts.

Alaska's true reality show: salmon or gold mine
This is a dedicated thread for discussing article: Alaska's true reality show: salmon or gold mine
Re: Alaska's true reality show: salmon or gold mine
Paul: Great story on the Pebble Mine, I sure hope Alaska puts a stop to this plan!
Larry |
Re: Alaska's true reality show: salmon or gold mine
There was an article in the Anchorage Daily News today written by former Alaska Senate President Rick Halford. A Republican who has otherwise been pro development in Alaska but like another notable Republican the late Senator Ted Stevens have long stood against what might be the worst nightmare to a freshwater fishery proposed in modern times.
Pebble would become long-term liability: Compass | adn.com This is one of those issues that is near and dear to my heart. If anyone wants to discuss the issue further I would be happy to participate. |
Re: Alaska's true reality show: salmon or gold mine
This is a difficult thing for me to even think of let alone get caught up in. I have fought many environment based battles, first as a volunteer in the early 80's and then as a legislative liaison representing some of the best known environmental organizations in America on both the State & Federal level. By 1988 I was finished, exhausted, and ready to return to a quiet life as a traveler and fisherman. I stay apprised of the Pebble proposal and numerous other big ticket threats to our environment at large but I no longer want to fight. I vote, I have my hopes and fears, but I do not allow myself to become obsessed with the thought that I can somehow effect a sea change single handedly.
It's sad, but true, Ard |
Re: Alaska's true reality show: salmon or gold mine
The truth is I've heard of the Pebble Mine project, but today is the first I've read anything about it and just from what I've read so so far I believe to allow this Alaska's and our nations leaders would have to be brain dead. I'm amazed the idea is even being entertained by any of them.
Re: Alaska's true reality show: salmon or gold mine
National Geographic lost ALL credibility with me and most of the residents of Puerto Rico after they ran an article about the island's culture in 2003: PUERTO RICO HERALD: Is the current National Geographic article on Puerto Rico generally accurate and fair? My wife is a native of Puerto Rico, and we visit the island regularly. The NG article might just as well have been based on a trip to Mars, as it had nothing to do with reality. The link above does not begin to express the outrage voiced by the island's residents, but it gives a hint.
I'll go to a more reliable source for info about the Peeble Mine issue. I have read about it in fly fishing magazines, and it's always dis-heartening to see one natural resource abused to exploit another resource. The unfortunate fact is money talks in these cases, and gold is worth way more than fish right now. Warren Buffet recently made a public comment regarding gold investments, saying that gold is worthless as an investment in an economy, society, etc: it just sits there doing nothing. That sums it up for me..... |
Re: Alaska's true reality show: salmon or gold mine
GOD! Can you believe people suck THIS much! It ticks me off that we live in a world where money is everything. I think it's retarded that a multi-billion dollar company would ruin thousands of peoples lives, doing the only thing they know how to and have ever wanted to do, even though the company is doing just fine on their other mines.
I know a lot of people think I'm being idealistic and all, but I just don't think this should happen. Would you throw a dog off a cliff to get the 20 bucks it's blocking? O well, I'm sure there are enough people against it for it not to happen. I would hate to see such a great fishing spot get destroyed. I don't think there's a member of this site who would want that mine to start. |
Re: Alaska's true reality show: salmon or gold mine
The problem is that this is basically the rise in the tundra where one end drains down the Kvichak and the north end drains down the Nushagak rivers respectively. Downstream represents probably the most economically valuable salmon fisheries in the world. This location is the last pristine mega scale salmon and specifically red(sockeye) salmon left in the world. Totally wild, zero hatchery fish, no dams, certified sustainable with a large commercial harvest upwards of 30million caught. Little to no subsistence limitations. It is also a multi-million dollar sport fishery and it still has millions of escapement fish to ensure a healthy resource. In comparison the famous Kenai River will have an end season escapement of 500-750k average. The Kvichak saw that much escapement in a 2-3 day period. ---------- Post added at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 AM ---------- There has been plenty written by a large number of other sources. I would imagine that you could find one of suitable credibility. You can visit the Pebble Partnership page and read what the miners have to say. Quote:

Monkey for this year. I was inspired from recent movie poster look. The main star in his best beauty profile. Eyes in a character look . Got a short holiday during the Chinese New Year. And i got a little time to scratch this bored pencil to the almighty paper. Adding more character was another aim . Not googly eyes but more human , since they have been said close to us. I draw this without any reference photos since I love apes and gorillas ever since.
Here's another older drawing you might like –Link.
Year of the monkey ! Happy Chinese New Year to all !

"Two prostitutes were riding around town with a sign on top of their car which said: "TWO PROSTITUTES -- $50.00."
A policeman, seeing the sign, stopped them and told them they'd either have to remove the sign or go to jail.
Just at that time, another car passed with a sign saying, "LORD SAVES."
One of the girls asked the cop, "How come you don't stop them?!"
"Well, that's a little different," the cop smiled. "Their sign pertains to religion."
So the two ladies of the night frowned as they took their sign down and drove off.
The following day found the same cop in the area when he noticed the two ladies driving around with a large sign on their car again. Figuring he had an easy arrest, he began to catch up with them when he noticed the new sign which now read: "TWO ANGELS SEEKING PETER -- $50.00."

Janson's History of Art | 7th Edition
Western Tradition - Prehistoric Through Fourteenth-Century Italian Art

AUTHOR: Roberts, Ann M. and Davies, Penelope J. E.
PUBLISHER: Prentice Hall PTR
Also available at Amazon.com
Note: Not guaranteed to come with supplemental materials (access codes, CDs, DVDs)
Product Description:
For courses in the History of Art. Completely rewritten and reorganized, this groundbreaking edition weaves together the most recent scholarship, the most current thinking in art history, and the most innovative digital art library. Experience the new Janson and re-experience the history of art. Long established as the classic and seminal introduction to art of the Western world, the Seventh Edition of Janson's History of Art is groundbreaking. When Harry Abrams first published the History of Art in 1962, John F. Kennedy occupied the White House, and Andy Warhol was an emerging artist. Janson offered his readers a strong focus on Western art, an important consideration of technique and style, and a clear point of view. The History of Art, said Janson, was not just a stringing together of historically significant objects, but the writing of a story about their interconnections, a history of styles and of stylistic change. Janson's text focused on the visual and technical characteristics of the objects he discussed, often in extraordinarily eloquent language. Janson's History of Art helped to establish the canon of art history for many generations of scholars. specialists narrating the history of art for today's students. The contribution of multiple authors allows an expert's understanding to permeate each and every part of the text with a currency in art historical thinking and an enhanced discussion of context. The result is a complete rewriting and a weaving together of expert knowledge into a meaningful and powerful presentation of Western art.
