'Why would all 110 stories drop straight down to the ground in
about 10 seconds, pulverizing the contents into dust and ash - twice.
Why would all 47 stories of WTC 7 fall straight down to the ground
in about seven seconds the same day? It was not struck by any aircraft
or engulfed in any fire. An independent investigation is justified
for all three collapses including the surviving steel samples and
the composition of the dust.' ~Ronald H. Brookman, structural
engineer, with a masters degree in Engineering from UC Davis
'Photos of the steel, evidence about how the buildings collapsed,
the unexplainable collapse of WTC 7, evidence of thermite in the debris
as well as several other red flags, are quite troubling indications
of well planned and controlled demolition.' ~Kamal S.
Obeid, structural engineer, with a masters degree in Engineering from
UC Berkeley
Here we are once again at an
early threshold of another anniversary marking the seventh consecutive
year that the Project for the New American Century boys (the architects),
and the Bush administration (the perpetrators) of September 11, 2001
attacks, are still walking free among us, holding the mighty reigns
of power within the construct of our own mundane borders. And just
like the previous six years, justice seems to be a difficult task
for bringing the guilty ones to trial. But eventually, the cretins
will get what they deserve. As a nation weeping from immeasurable
pain and loss, we deserve nothing less. Our recoil from the many injustices
will only increase our tenacity for redemption and, as we turn the
page to the next chapter, we must ensure it is devoid of this mafia’s
presence.
I now understand how special prosecutor Jim Garrison felt so many
years ago when he tried to expose the guilty culprits who assassinated
John F. Kennedy. Well, I’m here to say that Mr. Garrison is
one-up on us. At least during the Warren commission proceedings (inadequate
hearings he later condemned), he got a little more satisfaction when
he was afforded the right to question his suspects 'under oath.' Even
though justice was never served in any real sense -- Garrison's brother
later got murdered too, along with Martin Luther King and others --
one fact remains. Garrison's ability to get some of evildoers 'on-record'
gave the whole affair a small degree of credibility for historical
purposes, and preserved the fundamental rule of law for interrogation
-- two things the Bush administration arrogantly rejects in this frightful
day of presidential oligarchy.
Yes, our Commander in Chief, the unpopular dullard many in the world
would love to stone, is trying to contain this nation's worst treasonous
crime and cover-up as he illegally claims 'executive privilege,' by
not allowing congressional testimony to be given by those summoned
within his own ranks. A slap in the face to all red-blooded Americans
who watch with amazement as they try to avoid any incriminating missteps
whatsoever. But, let's get real -- even if they did testify, I’m
sure it would only consist of nothing more than a simple mish-mash
of despotic double-speak laced with insulting euphemism pouring out
of both sides of their pathetic faces.
This ugly display of 'damage control' seems to be a haughty life preserver
for them to cling to. And one thing is for sure, they certainly do
have tight lips on a shameful capsized ship. All are fools in shark-infested
waters -- fools who truly believe nothing will ever be realized in
their lifetimes to prove their ineffable ways. And while I’m
on the subject of unspeakable 'lip service with a triangular tongue
twist,' we can never forget how the gauntlet fell awfully hard and
fast when House Republicans went after Bill Clinton for simply getting
a blowjob in the oval orifice. Unlike today’s sorry schism.
All we get today is a different kind of sardonic head job, a 'bittersweet
nothingness.' And we stand here, impatiently holding our hat. At least
for now...
~A sad reminder of what It was like for the victims...
A reality check is sometimes necessary in order to recreate a crime
scene in true human form. In order to fully grasp the severity of
that horrible September day, we must place ourselves in the victims'
shoes. How can we even begin to imagine what it must have been like
for the victims on that horrible day? Thousands of unsuspecting people
innocently showing up for a normal work day only to be relentlessly
pulverized -- floor by floor -- like sacrificial beef shoved into
a descending meat grinder at free-fall speed. Hot steel shards tore
them from limb to limb as the buildings were purposely rigged to demolish
on top of them.
And let us not forget the brave and gallant efforts of exhausted fireman,
police and paramedics, etc...running up seemingly endless stairways
into disaster, armed with fire hoses, medical kits and other rescue
equipment tucked under their tired and aching arms trying to save
innocent lives as the devil's pre-planted cutter charges unsparingly
greeted them with demonic eruption snatching their lives in the blink
of a thermite flash. Then afterwards, the mayor left them entombed
to rot beneath the massive pile of rubble that was soon hauled off
to the landfill as trash.
For those
of you who do not know what thermite is -- according to hundreds of
experts not under the corrupt wing of the White House, it’s
the type of explosive used to demolish the World Trade Center. That’s
right, regardless of how they expeditiously tried to get rid of all
the evidence, dust particles remained preserving crucial evidence
containing trace elements of the stuff to unequivocally prove that
planes did not cause the collapse.
I apologize for continuing this graphic description, but I feel compelled
to extend my comments about those who suffered at the hands of our
deceivers. Picture yourself 10,000 feet in the air strapped in a front
row seat soaring at 300 plus miles per hour in a two-winged coffin
of death. My God, can we even begin to imagine the unnerving confusion
and horror that seared the minds of those who were aboard those hijacked
planes digging their nails into the armrests as they watched their
planes veer off course? It's inconceivable to fathom the extreme terror
they must have felt when they entertained what was happening -- what
would happen next. All trapped in limbo, without hope, paralyzed for
what must of seemed like a hellish eternity as their end drew closer.
Eventually, realizing for sure the executioners' true intent as the
killers heartlessly banked -- then nose-dived -- their planes into
the most horrendous nightmare our nation has ever seen.
Adding insult to injury, all New York residents were put at risk when
they were falsely told by the Environmental protection Agency (EPA)
the air was safe to breath (sic). So many illnesses are encountered
even today as New York City residents suffer progressive health problems
from ingesting the massive amounts of atomized carcinogens floating
in the air on that fateful day, and in the aftermath of what had happened.
Sadly, it’s beyond our ability to track the real numbers accurately.
And for those of us who live far away from this epicenter of misery,
we are affected too...an entire nation forever doomed to suffer post
traumatic stress disorder as we relive this horrific crime, time and
again.
On many
countless nights over the years I am living proof of psychological
effects as I am unable to sleep when I imagine how those poor lost
souls drew their last earthly breath as they vainly begged for mercy
at the hands of those without any remorse. It’s always the same
for me, I usually drift away in the early morning hours with a slight
glimmer of hope that the killers may have pumped some sort of sleeping
gas into the planes rendering them unconscious before they really
knew what hit them. The other scenario is too horrible to imagine
in these turbulent days of restless woe.
~A CIA sponsored boogeyman named 'Osama Bin Laden'
In retrospect, not everyone has been needlessly killing innocent civilians
and crudely sacrificing brave military souls for a bogus invasion
that never should been happened while chasing our tail in Afghan caves
with the so called 'War on Terror' (sic). A useless war of choice
willfully created by a US Supreme Court-appointed madman hunting down
Osama Bin Laden, his new modern day 'Patsy.' Like those before him,
such as Lee Harvey Oswald and others, bin Laden is a 'fall guy' who
takes the heat -- gets the blame. And with the many profitable perks
promised to those doing business with the merchants of death, is it
any wonder this fiasco is still playing out? Nation building, privatized
troop support, poppy fields for the drug trade industry and oil pipelines
for petroleum barons, etc., are but a few of the enterprises that
elevated many simpletons with dollar daisies sprouting in their pocketbooks.
All unremorseful of how we got there or when we will shall leave.
Amongst the madness, many professional scholars for truth http://911scholars.org/
with the best minds assembled have been working overtime to unlock
this 21st Century mystery in real terms. Although, I do love to entertain
one amazing hypothetical point: if US smart bombs could tell tales,
might we learn a thing or two from talking shrapnel? Yeah, I’d
place a heavy handed bet (with favorable odds) that OBL may have a
few ounces of metal-shards rattling around in his decomposing corpse
after we probably blew him up years ago. Oops, bite my tongue, you
don’t suppose we’ve been chasing a 'ghost' all these years?
Have we? Well, you gotta love to hate those sneaky CIA-sponsored hate
objects. Dead or alive, a good believable 'spook' sure gets the ol'
prep-rally factor motivated for moving those daddy war bucks into
the war chest for a profitable conflict.
In romancing the stone further, I wonder how many OBL lookalikes are
really out there reading scripts and doing videos as this live reality
show unfolds? Yeah, and some of the tricky Islamo-terrorist actors
even wear expensive jewelry no less (a taboo for real Muslims). Whew,
now that’s what I call real 'Hollywar' entertainment! And nothing
keeps the machete swinging faster than us getting bamboozled watching
bogus 'Nick Berg' execution video where, if you watch very closely,
his head rolls like a low budget B-flick. Oh, I’m sure he lost
it, God rest his soul, but certainly not by those they tried to portray
in that sick dramatization played time and again on the internet.
I would only add, after considering all the handsomely paid Blackwater
mercenaries running around, and the many CIA-Ops and Mossad agents
dug in and around Iraq with wonderful Arabian suntans (most of whom
are on the payroll) is it really that hard to figure out? Indeed most
have a vested interest in trying to keep the American hate in full
bloom to secure longer contracts for this or that, or for serving
other interior motives. Yes, I'm sure most could easily pass for someone
of Arab descent with a little makeup, the right clothes, and a cool
headdress. Think about it...
~The Anthrax letters
After all that has transpired, we would have to be uniquely inept
to not remotely suspect that the anthrax letters played a vital role
in fanning D.C. unrest. Just at a time when certain select House members
were offering a little resistance to passing the egregious 'Patriot
Act,' these powdered jewels ended up in a few unsuspecting mailboxes.
Even though Democratic Senators Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy did
not get a whiff of the deadly stuff, as intended, the scare alone
sent a powerful message to everybody involved -- they had better fall
in line behind those who willfully stripped us of our Constitutional
Rights. And, did you notice how more letters magically appeared, right
on cue, effectively shutting down the US Supreme Court just before
the Patriot Act may have been scrutinized? Funny how shit like this
happens. And let us not forget that the chemical itself was later
determined to be a traceable strain of weapons-grade material manufactured
in a lab at Fort Detrick, Md., north of Washington.
In addition, just recently (2008), it’s equally amazing how
one guy, Steven J. Hatfill, a former scientist who worked at the lab
and a 'person of interest' to then-Attorney General John D. Ashcroft’s
pithy investigation, who was suing the government for being harassed
for years and was dubiously dubbed by the media to be the lone 'mad
scientist' -- suddenly was let off the hook. Although his job, his
reputation and his life were destroyed, Hatfill walked away with more
than $5 million and a 'sorry 'bout that' wave of the hand.
And, just as suddenly, we were told the real culprit, scientist Bruce
Ivins, also working at Fort Detrick, committed suicide upon learning
the goons were closing in on him. How sweet. Logic snaps to mind --
dead men tell no tales when jackboots are eliminating loose ends just
before this administration folds its tent. Gee, I wonder, if poor
Bruce could drop us a message-in-the-bottle from purgatory, would
he offer us some additional insight on who his next bunk buddies will
be?
~The media’s role in all of this
Is it any wonder we remain pessimistic with everything that has happened?
We distrust our news media for damn good reasons. But in order to
stay focused, we must continue to know their propaganda is an elaborate
con game. In truth, these public liars are business partners with
those who continue to murder with impunity, all heavily invested in
defense corporations on Wall Street. Make no mistake, most talking
heads and silly pundits are mere puppet clowns jumping hoops and climbing
ladders for a paycheck signed in blood as they deliver 'Oscar' performances
for their mind-bending circus acts. Bottom line -- the best thing
to do is bring others into the realm of informative alternative news
sources (on the internet). A sober reality worth inviting, so we can
avoid the pernicious rhetoric that has come to be mainstream news.
It truly is a breath of fresh air to throw away the rumblings of tinsel-town
performers.
And we can do something else too, let’s quickly boycott all
of the culprits' sponsors. It’s the least we can do as wise,
educated consumers who have been severely screwed over. I, for one,
refuse to support those who would readily sell their own mothers on
a street corner for a dime if they thought it would pull them out
of the gutter to ease their shameful existence. I invite you to join
me.. Indeed, we must not pay for their half truths, no truths and
seditious silence for the many unreported smoking guns they have ignored
that makes Nixon’s Watergate pale by comparison. If we remain
resolute, we can defy their behavior-modification tyranny that tries
to keep us docile, stupid and compliant.
I say get rebellious with our middle finger extended high as we pass
along the secrets they try to conceal. To do anything less is mere
cowardice or denial with ramifications that extend far beyond our
own borders leaving our neighbors vulnerable with a massive nuclear
arsenal pointed their way. Having said that, I can not stress enough,
a single day should not go by without all of us doing everything we
can to inform others of what the heck is going on. Get involved, or
get ready to reap a methodical whirlwind that promises to deliver
more progressive death and destruction.
~The real lesson of World War II
You be
the judge. For me, it’s hands down. I now understand how my
parents' generation felt totally betrayed by the anomalies surrounding
the Pearl Harbor massacre. It would seem that history has conveniently
forgotten to mention the insurmountable amount of suspicion many folks
had in how the Japanese magically made it through all of our defenses,
including the watchful eyes of many strategically placed Island-spotters
armed with radio transmitters throughout Midway, our radar technology,
etc. We were told the Japanese slipped through unnoticed and -- voila
-- quickly obliterated our destroyers and submarine fleet at port.
My, my...how history loves to glorify this official fairytale they
quantified for decades. Sound familiar? God forbid, if we should ever
question or tarnish the official explanation of WWII or say, September
11, 2001? Nope, no apologizes are offered in my humble journey into
the abyss for truth. Indeed, everything is subject to public scrutiny
and as true patriotic Americans, it’s our duty to do so in our
daily routine.
My father, Anthony Guarisco, a Navy seaman who served valiantly in
the South Pacific during World War II and Korea, never wavered throughout
his entire life in his belief that Pearl Harbor was purposely allowed
to happen by the power brokers of his day. Just as many others, he
said they did this so the US could squarely plant both feet into that
war and send a harsh nuclear message to its communist enemy in the
Soviet Union. He also told me something else very interesting. He
said he first suspected something was dreadfully wrong when his commanders
suspiciously ordered the 'entire aircraft carrier fleet' to leave
port just before the attack occurred. He said the admirals of his
day knew full well -- as long as they had their precious aircraft
carrier division still intact -- they could win the war they so callously
desired.
For over 50 years, my father’s eyes welled-up every time he
spoke about this. He was truly heart broken and became physically
nauseated each time he was reminded of how the military brass of his
day shrewdly allowed all those brave men and women to die an unsuspecting
death -- like ducks sitting in a carnival shooting gallery.
We can
all agree, as my father did, that WWII needed to be fought in order
to stop Hitler. But he also admitted the only reason the Japanese
attacked us in the first place was because our submarine fleet, as
well as British fleets, were bombing Japan’s oil tankers in
Burma. Remember that Japan depended solely on its imported oil for
virtually all of its energy needs. Also note, our submarine fleet
was the first target to be destroyed during the initial attack. And
for those who may question my father’s credibility, I invite
you to review a tribute I recently published honoring my parent’s
many accomplishments in life. Especially, read their impressive bio:

~Remembering the bombing of Japan
Even as I write this essay way ahead of schedule (in August) to mark
the coming anniversary of September 11, 2001, I want to point out
that August 6 and August 9 are two dreadful days to mark on our calendar
as well. Sixty-three years ago in 1945, Harry S. Truman insanely dropped
two nuclear bombs, named Little Boy and Fat Man, on 'civilian' targets,
destroying Japan and thus ending WWII. A sober irony to reminisce
as my fingers rattle across this keyboard with goose-bumps protruding
across my skin.
For sure, let us never forget what we did. It took less than 2.1 seconds
for our past heartless warmongers to wipe-out more than 140,000 human
beings in the blink of an eye. Truman's gift was one that kept on
giving. Another 80,000 dead by the end of the year and, If you consider
the many illnesses related to radiation exposure over six decades,
the casualties could easily be in the millions. My God, how can we
look into a mirror knowing what we did? How can we gleefully watch
this insane administration attempt to justify more bombing campaigns
in the Middle East? I would add, the nuclear option is not off the
table for Iran, Pakistan, Syria and others. As a final note, I wonder
how many lives would be spared if all those oil wells in distant desert
sands only pumped 'sea water'? Hmmm...
~The Vietnam War
Does the word 'false-flag' operation mean anything to you? I suggest
you quickly do some research on the many suspicious anomalies surrounding
the 'Gulf of Tonkin' incident that gave us the Vietnam War. In 2005,
an official declassified National Security Agency (NSA) report revealed
that the attack on the USS Maddox was not North Vietnamese boats.
But yet, President Lyndon B. Johnson used that incident as the catalyst
to launch the war. Thus, a huge jungle eulogy was given to the American
public producing a Vietnam Memorial Wall containing more than 58,000
names etched on its haunting surface. I ask you this, how many times
-- how many more times -- are we going to be fooled?
~The first Gulf War
Or we could examine how the bullshit artists convinced us how those
poor, defenseless Iraqi incubator babies were heartlessly thrown to
a cold, filthy concrete floor to die. A big damn lie that helped George
senior sell the first Gulf war to the American public. That’s
right, it never happened. It was all a big elaborate hoax. A Kuwaiti
public relations (PR) firm manufactured the whole affair, hiring an
actress who later was determined to be a diplomat’s daughter,
to dramatize the lie as real.
News outlets continuously ran with it on TV to get everyone all hyped-up
for war. And to seal the deal, a clever mon-senior pushed his crown
jewel by covertly tricking CIA-sponsored insurgent forces to invade
Kuwait in what they thought was a green light with the blessings of
the Almighty. Unfortunately, they learned, too late, that they had
been betrayed. They were brutally squashed by our forces who played
the role of heroes coming to the rescue. Indeed, I guess it’s
safe to say, 'Junior' is a chip off the old 'Senior' block. Do we
see a pattern here?
~Will the Cycle of War Ever be Stopped?
This is the multi-zillion dollar question that should be considered
a bargain when compared to the value of life itself. I ask again,
will this madness ever end? Truly, will we ever stop believing pathological
liars who will say anything to germinate a conflict? In the real world,
war has always been a profitable 'spectator sport' for those who embellish
themselves in power and greed. Old crusty men will always send our
young, innocent, and brave men and women off to fight and die in useless
wars that, realistically, do not need to be fought. And by God, I
mean it, this repeated cycle of madness must end once and for all.
Otherwise, we will continue to be placed in harm's way -- mere pawns
scurrying about as feeble toys to be manipulated by old crusty geopolitical
chess masters like Dick Cheney and others who have been destroying
and displacing lives for decades.
I apologize for such a disheartening, lengthy read, but felt it was
critical to point-out the obvious known examples that have catapulted
us into our present day dilemma. Sadly, I have barely scratched the
surface of many infernal obfuscations that have chilled our bones
from the very beginning of our country's birth. From the day that
pilgrims first landed on Plymouth Rock and used smallpox as bio-warfare
to weed-out Redskins, to the Native American death march that is the
'Trail of Tears,' to the slave owners who forced blacks to pick cotton
in plantation fields, our nation’s history is ghastly; it is
replete with terrible memories.
However,
if you want to understand a little more about the horrible attacks
of September 11, 2001, a good place to start is David Ray Griffin’s
'The New Pearl Harbor,' or perhaps his 'Debunking 9/11 Debunking,'
or his latest, '9/11 Contradictions: An Open Letter to Congress and
the Press -- all of which lay out perfectly how our 21st Century wizards
work their magic with cunning ability.
As I once wrote in a past article (worth a second round), isn’t
it funny how life's little ironies always seem to make the full circle?
Truly, what goes around -- comes around...
Freedom is like a hovering analogy-cloud that lingers above the mist
that haunts those who fraudulently repress large populations of people
in the name of national security. At first, the peasants embrace repression
in order to remain safe, then they tolerate it to feel protected and,
eventually they hate it. They become resentful of the protectors who
enslave them and, in due time, will almost always revolt in disobedience.
Freedom is a glorious boomerang -- it's a wondrous hive full of spiritual
honey called 'human nature' that beckons the soul to be free -- a
natural elixir that will forever replenish itself regardless of fake
promises of 'security.' Even more so for those who have experienced
it and then lost it -- it will not be denied!
Well, today’s mendacious tyrants are no exception, they will
meet this fate I speak of eventually...nobody, either good or bad,
is immune from the grand test of time. Each of us will be remembered
in our own proper context with a full measure of reconciliation administered
to appease our collective memoir.
Good luck and God bless.
