A new book shows how humanity is under constant covert attack from Cabalistic (Masonic) Jewish bankers, using the news media to falsify reality. Thus they contrive wars to degrade, disinherit and ultimately destroy us. If we heed their siren calls, we are complicit in our own destruction.

“We have already contrived to possess the minds of the goy communities…[they are] looking through the spectacles we are setting astride their noses.” – Protocols of Zion, 12

Edward Hendrie is a lawyer. His book,  “9-11 – Enemies Foreign and Domestic” builds a powerful case that 9-11 was an egregious fraud and act of treason perpetrated against the American people. Clearly, a large segment of the US political, military and media class is complicit in the mass murder and/or cover-up, from the President on down.

Hendrie dissects and discredits the official story placing the blame on the Israeli Mossad. He presents the attack in the context of numerous other Zionist false flags against the US (Beirut Marine barracks, USS Liberty) designed to change US policy. Hendrie effectively explains the broad religious context, i.e. the Cabalist and Talmudic Jewish vendetta against mankind. I haven’t read anything for a while that so vividly exposes the control Illuminati bankers have over our lives.

Their ownership of the mass media is a large part of this control. Hendrie shows how the media was an active collaborator in the 9-11 fraud. As I suspected, no planes hit the Twin Towers or the Pentagon. The plane images were computer generated and synchronized with explosions in the buildings.

Hendrie shows that many of the “eye witness” accounts were employees of the TV networks and that many real eye witness reports of explosions but no planes were ignored.

Furthermore, the BBC reported the collapse of WTC-7, a 47-floor building, 20 minutes before it occurred. AP and CNN prepared obituary pictures for the 9-11 passengers three days before the attack occurred.

It makes sense to me that since no plane crashed at Shanksville or at the Pentagon, no planes were involved  at the WTC either. These people have a consistent MO.

SUPPRESSING THE TRUTH

Hendrie shows that the “news” suppresses the truth and literally creates reality according to the Illuminati script.

The truth is that the Twin Towers were designed to withstand hits by large passenger planes and that supposed fires ignited by jet fuels could not reach temperatures necessary to melt steel girders. Hendrie attributes the fact that the two buildings and their contents became dust to a “direct energy weapon” related to HAARP.  This weapon reduced almost everything to their molecular level. Cars and file cabinets melted but trees and paper were unaffected, let alone burned.

Hendrie reveals that Category Three hurricane “Erin”, packing 120 mph winds was about 200 miles from NYC at the time of the attack. He cites physicist Dr. Judy Wood who theorizes that the hurricane “acted as a massive Tesla coil creating field effects used by directed energy weapons on 9-11.”

The purpose of 9-11 was to create a Zionist police state and to justify wars against Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran. Hendrie believes the Iraq war was prompted by Sadaam Hussein’s decision to stop trading oil in dollars. Apparently, the bankers need petrodollars to support the burgeoning US debt and keep the $US from collapsing.

Hendrie speculates that the passengers of UA-93 were unloaded in Cleveland and murdered at a NASA facility at the airport. The damage at the Pentagon, which killed 125 people, was caused by explosions. The attack targeted offices where accountants were investigating the disappearance of $1.2 trillion.

Osama bin Laden died in late 2001 of Marfan syndrome. The recent “assassination” by Navy Seals was designed to rescue Obama, who was embattled by “birther” and other issues.

CONCLUSION

This 300-page book is carefully documented and throws our common dilemma into stark relief. We live in a theater of the absurd where psychopaths and their enablers have taken control.

Hendrie makes clear that Cabalist Jewish bankers are at the heart of the conspiracy and Zionism is its most powerful instrument. He makes a convincing case that Mossad organized and executed the 9-11 attack. Senior members of the Bush administration were active collaborators. He cites admissions from insiders that this was an “inside job.”

Apart from Zionists, the Illuminati bankers depend on the collaboration of millions of Freemasons and other non-Jews willing to sell their soul to the devil, and betray their country for personal gain.

Our situation is analogous the movie “The Invasion of the Body Snatchers” where an alien force has invaded the peoples’ minds and souls. The nations of the world have been profoundly subverted by evil.

The 9-11 official story demonstrates how the Cabalists think they can turn their lies into reality. But the truth remains the truth.

Truthers are making the Illuminati hesitate before pulling off their next false flag. They know they will not be believed. In that sense, people like Edward Hendrie are taking that strategy away and saving us from disaster.

Lawyers representing 9/11 families are asking a federal judge to find Iran culpable in the Sept. 11 terror attacks, saying new evidence shows Iranian officials had advanced word of the attacks and helped train the hijackers.

The lawyers filed papers Thursday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan saying there is “clear and convincing” evidence to conclude default judgment damages should be paid to their plaintiffs — families and personal representatives of some of those killed in the attacks.

Supporting their arguments, the lawyers cited the testimony of three defectors from Iran’s intelligence service, the Ministry of Information and Security, saying they worked in positions that gave them access to sensitive information regarding Iran’s state sponsorship of terrorism. They said the testimony, part of 28 hours of testimony by four witnesses, supports a claim that Iranian officials had advanced word of the attacks and that Iran helped train those who carried it out.

Iran has not responded to the lawsuit, which was first filed in Washington D.C. and later transferred to New York. A message was left Friday with the Iranian mission to the United Nations.

The Shiite regime in Iran and al-Qaida, a Sunni group, are natural enemies, though they have sometimes had a relationship of convenience based on their shared hatred of the U.S.

The lawyers said Iran and “its proxy terrorist organization,” the Lebanese group Hezbollah, entered into a terrorist alliance with al-Qaida in the early 1990s that continued throughout the preparations for the 2001 attacks. They said Iran and Hezbollah gave material support to al-Qaida after the attacks by helping some of the terrorist group’s leaders and their families escape from the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan.

As part of their proof, the lawyers said they were filing videotaped testimony under seal in which three defectors from Iran’s intelligence service “circumstantially and directly” implicate Iran and Hezbollah in the Sept. 11 attacks. Iran and Hezbollah had “foreknowledge of, and complicity in, the overall design of, and preparations for, the 9/11 attacks, involving, but not limited to, facilitation of the hijackers’ international travel, training and through Iran provision of safe haven for al-Qaida after the attacks,” the lawyers wrote.

They said the witnesses, identified in court documents only as “Witnesses X, Y and Z,” also provided testimony revealing that then-senior Hezbollah operative Imad Mughniyah had an integral role in the Iran-Hezbollah-al-Qaida terror alliance. One of the witnesses testified that Iran anticipated a retaliatory strike against Iran if its role in the 9/11 attacks was discovered. Mughniyah died in a car bombing in 2008.

The lawyers said it was necessary to file the testimony under seal because the witnesses have reason to fear for the safety of themselves and their families if the testimony became public.

The lawyers included in their submission portions of the findings reached by the U.S. 9/11 commission, which wrote that there “is strong evidence that Iran facilitated the transit of al-Qaida members into and out of Afghanistan before 9/11, and that some of these were future 9/11 hijackers.” They also cited commission findings that evidence suggests that eight to 10 of the Saudi “muscle” operatives used in the attacks traveled into or out of Iran between October 2000 and February 2001.

The commission said it had found no evidence that Iran or Hezbollah were aware of planning for the attacks but said the topic requires further investigation.

In their papers, the lawyers said they had found exactly the evidence that the 9/11 commission had not: “that Iran and Hezbollah were aware of the planning for the 9/11 attacks, and, further, that Iran and Hezbollah were complicit in that planning.”

In a second sealed memorandum, the lawyers say they detailed evidence that “further shows that Iran originated the general design of the 9/11 attacks and Iran provided material support to al-Qaida in connection with the recruitment and training of the 9/11 hijackers as well.”

They also noted that the FBI had concluded after its criminal investigation of the attacks that the willingness of Iranian border officials to refrain from stamping the passports of al-Qaida members helped explain the absence of a clear document trail showing the travels of those members to and from Afghanistan.

We can look back to ancient Babylon, Egypt, Rome and even to London, which is also known as (Babylondon) and still see the royal families maintaining incestuous relations to keep their bloodline intact passing down instructions through the generations. London is the new Babylon; hence, the name Babylondon.

The DNA has been discovered by scientists as functioning like an internal hard drive for humans, which is capable of storing massive amounts of data and transporting ancestral memories, talents, genetics etc…Psychological researchers have explained that there are keys that unlock our DNA, revealing experiences of generations of our relatives who lived long before our present time.

S. Hammons posted on Earthpages.org, “Studies are showing that our IQ and aptitudes, athletic ability, musical talents and even our psychological and emotional traits might be drastically affected by our DNA within. Let’s say you have always had a significant fear of bears since you were a child.

“Maybe it is possible that deep, deep within your DNA memory banks, your great-great-great-great-grandfather had a very bad experience with a bear two hundred years ago. Maybe they saw someone be killed by a bear. Maybe they had to climb a tree to save themselves from being eaten by a bear.”

The royal families have been transporting DNA code for centuries intermarrying and teaching that they are superior to the rest of mankind. Henceforth, we are dealing with what we can think of as a program or even a virus which infects the royal families every generation as they pass the code along in the DNA to keep the bloodlines of these families consistent with future protocols that must be carried out.

We are dealing with beings functioning on different levels of consciousness, frequencies and alternate realities that we cannot experience or perceive. We cannot define these beings as humans by the logical definition when considering compassion and mercy. They behave more as machines without remorse for their actions.

Investigative author David Icke referred to some of the royal family members. And to paraphrase, “As Mr. Smiley face with cold eyes. If you see the US President or Former Prime Minister Tony Blair give a speech, they will smile and laugh but the eyes are not moving in synchronization with the happiness and laughter they depict themselves as having naturally.”

When we consider the human body as functioning as a computer and the DNA as hard drives with data and our bodies as hardware, the psychological control they manipulate humans with can be thought of as virus software and we of course have the ability to use anti-virus software or turn off the programming.

The CPU is of course the brain and the hard drive would be here with access to DNA data. Simply walking in a sunny park to get some vitamin D to rejuvenate ourselves is a good break from the PC/TV/CELL etc… We are the hosts and must unplug from the grid in order to escape enslavement and complete mind control.

There is a pseudo-reality the elite are creating for us, which we must disassociate with on all levels whether mental, spiritual or physical. We cannot escape technology. Thus we must use it with caution, responsibility and awareness. The elite have the most nefarious and ominous plans for using technology against us. If we do not start becoming more aware of their true intentions, we will be as pawns on the chess board.

Royal families have interbred for centuries creating offspring that is insane, violent, psychotic, brilliant and unpredictable. They are very dangerous and are using your body as a vehicle to manipulate and control you in a manner which will only benefit them through media, institutions, and exotic technologies. Bloodlines mean everything to these people.

For centuries, these beings have been interbreeding and passing down perpetual insanity and cruelty through their DNA that is passing along data and memories like a USB transfer of data to the brain. It is meant to be downloaded to teach their offspring to keep in protocol with the future plans for humanity in following the guidelines for the new world order (NOW).

Many people have trouble actually imagining what the NWO will entail and how it will affect the world. Some aspects of the NWO are universally accepted.

Professional historians, investigators and researchers through the years have defined it as thus: Increased surveillance on all levels of life, a one world military, a one world police, a one world currency and leader. The implanting of chips in people which will track individuals like livestock will be placed by deception or force.

The idea of a total institution will be felt and implemented on all levels of life, erosion of liberties and personal freedoms will be the norm, annihilation of privacy, a one world religion, and the perpetual decreasing of the population through wars, abortions, poisons and other invisible toxins.

One of the most brilliant Nazi scientists who arrived to the States after WWII was Wernher Von Braun. Braun was a German rocket scientist, engineer, and space architect. Braun announced that the elitists had some major future plans in store for us and Braun on his death bed confided in Dr. Carol Rosin his fears about weapons in space.

There were, according to Braun, four cards which would be drawn and laid out in order. The goal is to install fear in people and have them conform to the wishes of the elite. They will impose their own ideologies and realities on the mass populous just as they did with the War on Terror. These cards or covert plans will help establish the NWO.

So, the first card was the Cold War which was known as the Red Scare. NATO was formed out of this to act as a defensive organization with state members which would act on the defensive against any foreign enemy which attacked a NATO member state. NATO has now become a power world military organization that invades countries and conducts mass operations of slaughter as it wishes.

After the Red Scare was exaggerated and innocent Americans were arrested for being accused of communist connections, years later a much more aggressive and fearful card was used. The 2nd card was laid out to increase the level of human fear drastically, and this level transcended anything of its like in all history.

9/11, the London and Madrid bombings were all acts of government-sponsored terrorism after intense investigations were conducted. This type of terrorism is also known as false flag operations as the blame is placed on another by the government through the media sources. After the government commits a terrorist attack and blames it on an individual or group, they are able to pass new laws, invest in security and surveillance stocks, and they know this will do well because inside info on what new legislation will be passed after such incidents.

It was al-Qaeda who they claimed attacked the US on 9/11 though this has never been proven with any rationale or scientific evidence. Now the US and NATO are fighting the war on terror, which appears to be a never ending war.

Just when Westerners and American citizens think the troops are saving us from al-Qaeda and fundamental terrorists, new terrorists pop up and our only confirmation is a picture on Fox news that could have been taken and uploaded from the internet. If you can keep the mass populations in a state of constant fear, you can then pass legislation, steal freedoms and liberties and institute a police state.

According to Braun, the third card laid out would convince us the planet was in danger of being hit by an asteroid from outer space. I don’t know if the TSA will try to molest our children at the US airports because of outer space asteroids potentially hitting us as they are because of terrorists, but hopefully not.

The final card which sounds the most bizarre is that Braun claims the US government is going to convince people we are under threat of an alien invasion.

Whether technologies such as holograms or the like are used to convince people of this, we can see again how this will install a great fear factor and people will be openly willing to crawl into underground concentration camps for protection if the TV says this is best. Fox news will convince them or Sarah Palin.

The first two cards played true. The predictions made about the NWO are manifesting whether you think it’s a conspiracy theory or not. There is truly an awakening going on with the internet; therefore, I don’t want to sound like such a pessimist. But most of the common masses simply do not want to think and research how all this is happening.

We have a lot of darkness before we can even see the light at the end of the tunnel. Their goal is to create more division and apathy amongst the humans on this planet. The elite laugh and collect the benefits that roll in from our voluntary sacrifices. They have taught us to entertain them with self-destruction of ourselves and each other. Furthermore, many of us are obeying and digging our own graves.

According to a survey conducted by TNS Emnid, one of the largest polling institutes in Germany, nearly 90 percent of Germans do not believe the U.S. government explanation of what happened on September 11, 2001.

The poll was conducted for the German magazine World of the Miracles.

In addition to 89.5% not buying the official 9/11 story, the poll found that 73.7% of surveyed Germans believe that the Kennedy assassination was a conspiracy and nearly 80% believe the CIA conducts covert operations on German soil.

In 2003, a poll conducted by Forsa for the German newspaper Die Zeit found that 31% of Germans under 30 years of age believe the attacks were an inside job.

Skepticism about the official account has increased since 2001. In 2006, a New York Times/CBS News poll revealed only 16% of Americans thought the government was telling the truth about 9/11 and the intelligence prior to the attacks.

In 2004 a Zogby Poll showed that just over half of New Yorkers believed there was a cover up.

In May of 2006, another Zogby poll indicated approximately half of all Americans did not believe the official version.

A disturbing article on ConsortiumNews.com, “The 9/11 Truth Parlor Game” (15 January, updated 16 January 2011), by Robert Parry, advances the indefensible theory that the shooting of Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) was affected by the shooters interest in 9/11 truth.  While there are good reasons to suspect that the political climate nurtured by the right wing may have influenced him (by targeting a series of representatives using the cross-hairs of a telescopic site, for example), there is no reason to believe than anyone associated with the 9/11 truth movement has targeted any members of Congress—other than attempting to expose them to the evidence that research has unearthed, which has shown that virtually every claim the government has made about 9/11 is provably false.

As the founder of Scholars for 9/11 Truth, a society of experts and scholars from many different disciplines, including pilots, physicists, structural, mechanical and aeronautical engineers, we have established more than twenty refutations of the government’s official account, including what NIST has had to say about these events, which does not satisfy even minimal standards of scientific acceptability.

In this article, for example, Perry maintains that the collapse of the Twin Towers was assured “effect once the beams were weakened by the impact of the planes and the heat from the fires.”  But NIST studied 236 samples of steel it selected from the debris and discovered that 233 had not been exposed to temperatures above 500*F and the other three not above 1,200*F, temperatures far below what would have been required for the steel to weaken, much less melt.

One of the most remarkable features of the destruction of the Twin Towers is that the top 30 floors of the South Tower began to pivot before the building was blown to pieces, floor by floor.  This refutes the claim that they were “collapsing”, insofar as those top 30 floors were not in the position to exert any downward force that might have brought about a collapse.  The South Tower was hit second but was the first to be demolished after only an hour of exposure to fires at 500*F, which is the temperature of ordinary office fires..  If that were enough to cause steel and concrete buildings to “collapse”, there would be no need for resorting to controlled demolitions.  In fact, no steel structure high-rise ever collapsed due to fire before 9/11 or after 9/11.  And if our research is well-founded, that did not happen on 9/11 either.  It is part of the mythology of 9/11 brought to us by Philip Zelikow, whose area of academic specialization is the creation and maintenance of public myths.

Since Underwriters Laboratory had certified the steel used in the buildings to 2,000*F for three or four hours without incurring any adverse effects by either weakening or melting, the fires could have burned forever and not have caused the towers to collapse.  Jet fuel is made of kerosene, which burns at a lower temperature than propane; yet, as Jesse Ventura has observed, his camping stove, which burns propane, does not melt when he uses it. Since the fires were asymmetrically distributed, moreover, if they had burned hot enough or long enough to have caused the steel to weaken, the result would have been some asymmetrical sagging and tilting, not the complete, abrupt and total demolition that occurred.  Which means that Parry is trading in 9/11 fiction, not 9/11 fact.

He also denies that WTC-7, a 47-story skyscraper that came down at 5:20 PM, seven hours after the Twin Towers were destroyed.  It fell in approximately 6.5 seconds, which is about the speed of free fall, a classic indication of a collapse that was brought about by a controlled demolition. Many experts have found the pattern of collapse supports that conclusion.  A very nice video that demonstrates this to be the case, “This is an Orange”, refutes his allegation that it was because the building had a large atrium that it collapsed as fast as free fall.  That ignores the fact that the entire building was extremely robust in construction, having been erected over two massive electrical generators providing back-up electricity for lower Manhattan.  This building obviously came down as the result of a controlled demolition, which is why so many in the 9/11 truth community emphasize WTC-7.

He also talks about a vast number of witnesses seeing a Boeing 757 hit the Pentagon and talks about phone calls that were made from the planes. David Ray Griffin, however, has discovered that all of the alleged phone calls from all four of the planes were faked. None of them were real. And Pilots for 9/11 Truth had studied the black box data provided to them by the NTSB and discovered that a plane corresponding to the data would have approached on an easterly trajectory, been 300 feet in the air approaching the building (too high to have taken out any lampposts) and was still 100 feet higher than the Pentagon at one second from impact, which suggests that it flew over the building and did not hit it.  Indeed, the absence of massive debris from the plane, including the absence of the wings, the tail, bodies, seats and luggage—not to mention that the massive engines, which are virtually indestructible, were never recovered—indicates that, once again, it is Parry who is propagating myths about 9/11, not 9/11 experts.

While the thrust of Parry’s piece is clearly intended to discredit 9/11 research, he makes at least one important point, which is that we have not yet succeeded in sorting out exactly how all of this was done.  The Twin Towers appear to have been taken out by some novel form of demolition from the top down, where, in contrast to WTC-7, each floor remained stationary waiting its turn to be blown to Kingdom come.  They, too, came down at approximately free fall speed, which is simply astounding since, in the case of the South Tower, everything below the 80^th floor was stone cold steel, as was the case for the North below the 94^th floor.  There was no reason for them to collapse at all, where their destruction involved the astounding conversion of two massive, 500,000-ton buildings into millions of cubic yards of very fine dust. While the use of thermite has been advanced to explain it, Parry appears to be correct that thermite does not have the explosive

properties that would be required to effect this dramatic physical tranformation.

Persons like Parry and others, such as Michael Shermer, would have the public believe that conspiracy theories are almost always false, as though the United States were an exception to the experience of other nations.  What would William Shakespeare have had to write about were it not for plots against the kings and queens of England?  What 9/11 apologists like Shermer and Parry do not point out is that conspiracies only require two or more persons acting together to bring about an illegal end.  If the official account of 19 Islamic fundamentalists seizing control of these four aircraft, outfoxing the most sophisticated air defense system in the world, and perpetrating these atrocities under the control of a guy in a cave in Afghanistan were true, it would be a conspiracy theory, too.  Indeed, it appears to be the one that is the most easily falsified of them all.  So if we are going to discuss “the pivotal event” of the 21^st Century, we are going to have to study conspiracy theories to determine which of them is true and which are false.

Parry claims that the Tucson gunman was affected by 9/11 truth and became enraged at images of Bush and Cheney, who, as we all know, lied to us about the reasons for attacking Iraq and later Afghanistan.  There were no weapons of mass destruction; Saddam was not seeking yellowcake from Niger; and Iraq was not in cahoots with al Qaeda.  Indeed, Bush himself would eventually admit that Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11, just as our own FBI had acknowledged that it has “no hard evidence” connecting Osama to the 9/11 attacks.  For those who want to learn more about the truth of 9/11, I arranged for a symposium in London this past summer, which was held at Friends House on 14 July 2010.  You can view our presentations, including “Are Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan justified by 9/11?”, here.  Everyone who knows the truth should be angry with the Bush and Cheney administration, which has lied to us about it. But there is no reason to think that any of this had had anything to do with the Tucson event, where the difference between someone’s interest in 9/11 and their reasons for acting as they do requires more careful discrimination.

War is a Crime

The endless and infinite “war on terra” is bankrupting the planet. I don’t mean moral bankruptcy; that goes without saying. I mean financial bankruptcy. And don’t take my word for it. This is the argument made in a new book called “Terrorism and the Economy: How the War on Terror Is Bankrupting the World,” by Loretta Napoleoni, a financial reporter for Internazionale, l’Unita, il Caffe, Mondo e Missione, El Pais, Vanity Fair Spain, and Vanity Fair Italy.

Perhaps Napoleoni is insufficiently subservient to Wall Street to write for U.S. newspapers — unlike, say, the United States government: “Washington needs Wall Street’s help to keep international investors funding the U.S. debt,” the author explains, “which in turn provides the $1.6 billion needed each month to keep troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.” Which explains the lack of criminal prosecutions and serious regulation of Wall Street.

Napoleoni traces some surprising changes in the world financial system over the past nine years to the latest U.S. warmaking spree: “Though it may sound implausible, as soon as the West focused its attention on the war on terror, the United Arab Emirates and the rest of the Persian Gulf began experiencing an unprecedented economic boom. Money started to flow toward their economies.” The U.S. government did not investigate the sources of terrorist funding, but did put restrictions in place through the PATRIOT Act that led money launderers to take their business to Europe, which suffered from that transfer as well.

The U.S. claimed it wanted to cut off the terrorists’ lifeline, but Napoleoni finds little evidence of action behind the claim. Instead she sees Bush’s failure to pursue bin Laden’s bankers as in line with his failure to try to prevent 9-11 or to capture or bring bin Laden to trial. The 9-11 attacks were Bush’s excuse for war, and war was what he wanted.

Napoleoni sees the “war on terror” as a response to Islamic jihad and draws a comparison to Saladin’s jihad as a response to the Christian crusades. The Pope’s call to “liberate” the holy land in 1095, Napoleoni writes, was for “the starving masses of Europe . . . a way of feeding themselves and an escape from a life of misery and suffering. For the knights and nobility, it offered an opportunity for economic expansion. . . . Europe was a colony of Islam. Today the Muslim world feels equally subjugated to the West.”

One of the ultimate aims of the Islamic insurgency, Napoleoni writes, is “to bleed the American economy until it is bankrupt.” Bin Laden has “even calculated the amount of profits that Americans have accumulated from the sale of Arab oil. For every barrel sold over the last twenty-five years, he claims they pocketed $135. The total loss of income adds up to a staggering $4.05 billion per day, which he describes as the greatest theft in history.”

U.S. actions these past nine years have tended to self-inflict the economic wounds bin Laden desires, while simultaneously building al Qaeda into a more powerful and efficient enterprise. The United States had tended to tolerate money laundering because it benefitted the economy and the domestic money supply. The PATRIOT Act imposed regulations on money laundering and therefore on international banks, which immediately began advising their clients to avoid and divest from dollars. International crime syndicates took their money laundry to Europe. The war on terra also drove the price of crude oil through the roof. But it was the otherwise unregulated free-for-all on Wall Street that did the most damage to the U.S. and world economies. “The likelihood that bin Laden will destroy us is extremely low,” writes Napoleoni, “the likelihood that finance will do so is, on the other hand, extremely high, a virtual certainty.”

U.S. propaganda “magnified al Qaeda’s power exponentially. . . . On 9/11, few knew that this was nothing more than political theater and that few Muslims had ever heard of al Qaeda. . . . Saddam Hussein’s Iraq had no ties whatsoever to bin Laden. . . . [T]he invasion of Afghanistan decimated al Qaeda. Yet we believed what politicians told us.” Our policies — destabilizing Iraq, Indonesia, Pakistan, and the Horn of Africa — created shell states and easy recruitment for terrorism, which we thereby helped make more affordable. “The 9/11 attacks cost al Qaeda $500,000, while the Madrid massacre cost only $20,000, and the London suicide bombings less than $15,000. Osama bin Laden no longer operates costly training camps but relies upon the proliferation of jihadist websites to indoctrinate and train a new generation of jihadists at rock-bottom prices.” The U.S. has spent trillions on war, while Iraqis have successfully fought back for less than $200 million.

We can’t waste money this way without Wall Street, which is “as free and unregulated as it was before the credit crunch.” We’d transferred “bad risk accumulated by the private sector to the balance sheet of the state,” rather than eliminating it as needed. “In March 2009, the share prices of companies and banks ‘saved’ by governments were all below the levels at which the state had purchased them. . . . The desire to maintain, at any cost, a damaged and anachronistic system will only bring ruination.”

Instead, Napoleoni suggests, we should restructure the financial system, nationalize the banking sector, prune all the deadwood that does not serve the real economy, outlaw damaging products like derivatives, and preserve insurance operations while allowing gambling operations to collapse. We might learn from Islamic economics, which Napoleoni describes as “the opposite of capitalism”:

“In the Eastern world, the selfish behavior of each individual, aimed at maximizing profits and minimizing costs, is not believed to miraculously enrich entire nations. In the short shadow of the minarets, wealth comes from cooperation and joint ventures between banks and clients.” Drawing on this source, we might require that money always be invested in the real economy, thereby banning speculation on securities not tied to the underlying companies.

And instead of paying people to do nothing, through unemployment compensation, Napoleoni argues we should pay people, the unemployed and recent graduates, to convert our industries to clean energy, build infrastructure, and redesign our manufacturing base. Sounds like a plan that would even take care of the much bemoaned enthusiasm gap.

Global Research, September 26, 2010

The Iranian leader did not accuse the U.S. of conspiring to murder thousands of its own people to create a pretext for launching wars as conveyed by the US media.

A large portion of the American people, on  the basis of media reports, probably think that during his UN speech Sept. 23 Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared that the U.S. government secretly arranged for the 9/11 attacks. He did not say that, however.

In its Sept. 24 article about the speech The New York Times headline read: “Iran Leader Says U.S. Planned 9/11 Attacks.” The first paragraph declared: “President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran made a series of incendiary remarks in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, notably the claim that the United States orchestrated the Sept. 11 attacks to rescue its declining economy, to reassert its weakening grip on the Middle East and to save Israel.”

On the basis of his remarks the U.S. led 33 nations in theatrical walk out from the General Assembly while he was talking. And the next day, in an interview with the BBC’s Persian service, President Barack Obama said Ahmadinejad’s 9/11 remarks were “offensive. It was hateful. And particularly for him to make the statement here in Manhattan, just a little north of Ground Zero, where families lost their loved ones, people of all faiths, all ethnicities who see this as the seminal tragedy of this generation, for him to make a statement like that was inexcusable.”

On Sept. 25, the Times published a correction: “A headline on Friday with an article about an incendiary speech in the United Nations General Assembly by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran summarized his remarks about the Sept. 11 terror attacks incorrectly. In his speech, Mr. Ahmadinejad asserted various theories about the origin of the attacks, including the possibility that they had been planned by the United States. He did not say that the United States had planned the attacks.”

The Times was one of many U.S. newspapers, TV and radio news reports that suggested Ahmadinejad accused the U.S. government of secretly instigating the attack — a conspiracy theory believed by some Americans and others. Following are the few paragraphs pertaining to this matter from the Iranian leader’s text:

“It was said that some three thousands people were killed on the 11 September for which we are all very saddened. Yet, up until now, in Afghanistan and Iraq hundreds of thousands of people have been killed, millions wounded and displaced and the conflict is still going on and expanding.

“In identifying those responsible for the attack, there were three viewpoints.

“1- That a very powerful and complex terrorist group, able to successfully cross all layers of the American intelligence and security, carried out the attack. This is the main viewpoint advocated by American statesmen.

“2- That some segments within the U.S. government orchestrated the attack to reverse the declining American economy and its grips on the Middle East in order also to save the Zionist regime. The majority of the American people as well as other nations and politicians agree with this view.

“3- It was carried out by a terrorist group but the American government supported and took advantage of the situation. Apparently, this viewpoint has fewer proponents. The main evidence linking the incident was a few passports found in the huge volume of rubble and a video of an individual whose place of domicile was unknown but it was announced that he had been involved in oil deals with some American officials. It was also covered up and said that due to the explosion and fire no trace of the suicide attackers was found.”

Ahmadinejad did not suggest these were his views. He was incorrect to claim that a majority of Americans subscribe to a well known conspiracy theory that is strongly held by a l minority in the United States.

In a 2009 poll conducted by Public Policy Polling, 14% of the American people believe “President Bush intentionally allowed the 9/11 attacks to take place because he wanted the United States to go to war in the Middle East.” Many of the people who hold this view are war opponents, but it is not the perspective of the large majority of the U.S. peace movement.

In 2006, a Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll reported that “more than a third of the American public suspects that federal officials assisted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks or took no action to stop them so the United States could go to war in the Middle East.”

In a 2008 poll conducted in 17 countries by WorldPublicOpinion.org, majorities in nine countries blamed al-Qaeda. In all countries there were minorities which blamed the U.S. The percentage of many who blamed Washington was in single digits or teens but in Germany, for instance, it was 23%, South Korea 17%, Mexico, 30%, and Turkey 36%. The average of all countries as to the responsible party was al-Qaeda 46%, U.S. 15%, Israel 7%, Other 7% and Don’t Know 25%.

So while not putting forward such arguments himself, Ahmadinejad exaggerated or misspoke regarding the proportion of those who think that the Bush Administration was involved in a 9/11 conspiracy that is evidently being covered up by the Obama Administration. If it was true, how could Obama not know? Many Americans, accustomed to Washington’s long demonization campaign against Ahmadinejad and Iran, now believe the Iranian leader grotesquely accused  the U.S. of conspiring to murder thousands of its own people to create a pretext for launching wars.

We have never believed the conspiracy theory, not least for two reasons:

• Washington hardly needs an excuse of such magnitude to launch a war against small and basically defenseless nations. U.S. governments frequently attack such countries, and the usual excuses of  ”spreading democracy” or “humanitarian intervention” suffice to deceive the majority of Americans time and again.

• If Washington sought to stage a pretext for invading poor, bedraggled Afghanistan it didn’t have to engage in one of the most complex and dangerous conspiracies ever devised in history. It would take thousands of government operatives from many departments to plan and execute the attacks on the Pentagon, World Trade Center and the failed attempt on the White House. And if just one conspirator talked, out of all the people involved, the blowback would have destroyed the Bush Administration, the Republican Party, the cover-up Obama Administration, and completely discombobulate the entire country for decades. It’s simply unnecessary and  illogical.

But there was a “conspiracy,” of course.  It was a state conspiracy to dominate the entire oil-rich Middle East, overthrowing regimes in Iraq, Iran and possibly Syria in the process, and also extend U.S. hegemony into Central Asia to compete geopolitically with China and Russia. This conspiracy is known as U.S. foreign and military policy, and most of the details are available in a great many public government and media reports, assuming one has enough knowledge to read between the lines when necessary.

It is a fact the Bush Administration used 9/11 as an immediate rationale for gaining a foothold in Central Asia, and partially used 9/11 to replace the Ba’athist regime in Iraq with a government responsive to Washington’s diktat in preparation for regime change in Iran. But the U.S. had been active in Afghanistan since 1979, and could have found any number of pretexts to take out the Taliban. And the planning to overthrow the Baghdad government began during the Clinton Administration in the 1990s, and would have taken place with or without 9/11, especially after Iraq was so weakened by U.S./British/UN sanctions that it was a military pushover, until the unexpected guerrilla insurgency forced a stalemate.

From time to time President Ahmadinejad is his own worst enemy because of his incautious remarks. In judging him it’s more important to watch what he does than what he sometimes says. He has taken no aggressive foreign action and there is no proof Iran is building nuclear weapons. His government’s military strategy is entirely defensive.

While the Obama Administration continues to complain about Ahmadinejad’s 9/11 remarks, little is said about his simultaneous call for early negotiations about swapping enriched uranium. And his agreement with Brazil and Turkey earlier this year to achieve the uranium swap Obama was demanding encountered derision from Washington when it was announced, followed by the increased sanctions the U.S. and Israel considered more important than a settlement.

For different reasons, the U.S. even more so must be judged by its performance, not its words. While Washington talks peace, it is fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Yemen, vastly increasing its drone attacks, and is now deploying Special Operations forces in 75 countries, 15 more than last year. And while Obama usually speaks softly. he constantly wields — directly in Ahmadinejad’s face — the big stick of a potential crushing attack by the U.S. and Israel.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says questioning the truth behind the 9/11 attacks does not mean Tehran is apathetic toward the victims of the tragedy.

“The event was very suspicious, but I do not wish to pass judgment. I simply tried to offer a proposal for a humane solution to problems that have risen as a result of 9/11,”Ahmadinejad told a press conference on Friday.

“We are, of course, saddened by the fact that people were killed in 9/11. We have expressed our sympathy and solidarity with their relatives,” the Iranian president added.

“But we would also like to bring to your attention that hundreds of thousands of people in our region, innocent people, were killed as the result of 9/11.”

In his speech at the UN General Assembly in New York on Thursday, President Ahmadinejad criticized the US response to the 9/11 attacks, saying it was just a pretext for invading Iraq and Afghanistan.

One day before the ninth anniversary of the September 11 attacks, the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth said evidence regarding the destruction of the World Trade Center towers has emerged that show planted explosives were used in the demolition of the buildings.

Gregg Roberts, who is a member of the non-profit organization disputing the results of official 9/11 investigations, said the “official story is a lie, it is a fraud.”

Tehran hits out at Washington for its inappropriate reaction to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s proposal to establish a tribunal to investigate the 9/11 incident.

“It has surprised everyone that American authorities have become concerned and shown an offhand reaction to the proposal to establish a tribunal to fairly and precisely look into the exact cause of the 9/11 incident,” Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast was quoted by IRNA as saying on Saturday.

In response to remarks made by US President Barack Obama on Friday, the Iranian spokesman said it is not clear why President Ahmadinejad’s proposal has enraged US officials.

“It has stunned intellectuals, scholars and researchers,” Mehmanparast added.

He said it is natural to conduct enough research into different events, especially those which can have a ‘major influence on international developments.’

“Some researchers and research centers have evidence which trigger serous uncertainty over the 9/11 incident and its perpetrators,” Mehmanparast underlined.

Such an important issue requires more serious research and consideration, he added.

He stressed that Ahmadinejad’s suggestion to set up of a truth-finding committee would help enlighten public opinion about the cause of the 9/11 incident and also set the stage for other ‘fair moves’ in the future.

Iran’s president describes as ‘naive’ the US government’s response to his earlier comments about the 9/11 attacks, calling for a special tribunal to investigate the incident.

“If certain individuals are responsible for the September 11 incident, a fair and independent tribunal must probe the matter,” IRIB News quoted President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as speaking to reporters upon his arrival in Tehran from week-long visit to New York on Saturday.

“Even these people should be allowed to appear in court and employ a lawyer. If they are found guilty, they should be punished. If they are not available for [prosecution], their names must be announced to regional nations,” he added.

He said few people, who deem themselves as the ruler of the world, make remarks on behalf of all nations and interfere in their affairs and added that the era of bullying has passed.

Ahmadinejad said he had sent a letter to the United Nations secretary general, calling for the formation of a truth-finding committee last year and added, “of course I knew if he is not under pressure from world public opinion, he will not have the ability to take action.”

He noted the US government made “one-sided claims” about the 9/11 attacks, saying it assumed the position of plaintiff and judge while demands others to accept whatever it says.

On Friday, US President Barack Obama denounced as hateful and inexcusable remarks by his Iranian counterpart that the US government may have been behind 9/11.

“It was offensive. It was hateful,” Obama said in interview excerpts released by the White House.

“And particularly for him to make the statement here in Manhattan, just a little north of Ground Zero, where families lost their loved ones,” he said. “For him to make a statement like that was inexcusable.”

The Iranian president had questioned the official account of the September 11 attacks on US soil, suggesting that US officials were involved in the matter.

“It is necessary to re-listen to the black box of [the plane used in] September 11 attacks,” Ahmadinejad said.

“If Americans have strong evidence proving the September 11 attacks have been carried out by terrorists, they should present them [to the tribunal],” he said.

“This is our legal right to ask for a truth-finding committee to investigate the incident,” Ahmadinejad said.

“September 11 became a pretext for pressuring Middle Eastern nations and for violating their rights.”

“You (American officials) caused the September 11 event and now you are accusing every nation that stands against you and seeks to maintain its independence of cooperating with terrorism,” he said.

“There is no logic and justification to use the presence of few terrorists as a pretext to send troops to Afghanistan, occupy Iraq and today bombard the Pakistani people,” he explained.

Ahmadinejad said the Iranian nation is a victim of terrorism and added, “Iranians will not permit terrorists to put Muslims and the entire Middle East under pressure through an event with ambiguous facts.”

The Iranian president arrived in New York on September 18 to attend the 65th United Nations General Assembly.
