Civil Disobedience

Henry David Thoreau — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 21:01:15 +0000

I heartily accept the motto, — “That government is best which governs least”; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe — “That government is best which governs not at all”; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have. Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient. The objections which have been brought against a standing army, and they are many and weighty, and deserve to prevail, may also at last be brought against a standing government. The standing army is only an arm of the standing government. The government itself, which is only the mode which the people have chosen to execute their will, is equally liable to be abused and perverted before the people can act through it. Witness the present Mexican war, the work of comparatively a few individuals using the standing government as their tool; for in the outset, the people would not have consented to this measure.

This American government — what is it but a tradition, though a recent one, endeavoring to transmit itself unimpaired to posterity, but each instant losing some of its integrity? It has not the vitality and force of a single living man; for a single man can bend it to his will. It is a sort of wooden gun to the people themselves. But it is not the less necessary for this; for the people must have some complicated machinery or other, and hear its din, to satisfy that idea of government which they have. Governments show thus how successfully men can be imposed upon, even impose on themselves, for their own advantage. It is excellent, we must all allow. Yet this government never of itself furthered any enterprise, but by the alacrity with which it got out of its way. It does not keep the country free. It does not settle the West. It does not educate. The character inherent in the American people has done all that has been accomplished; and it would have done somewhat more, if the government had not sometimes got in its way. For government is an expedient, by which men would fain succeed in letting one another alone; and, as has been said, when it is most expedient, the governed are most let alone by it. Trade and commerce, if they were not made of india-rubber, would never manage to bounce over obstacles which legislators are continually putting in their way; and if one were to judge these men wholly by the effects of their actions and not partly by their intentions, they would deserve to be classed and punished with those mischievous persons who put obstructions on the railroads.

But, to speak practically and as a citizen, unlike those who call themselves no-government men, I ask for, not at once no government, but at once a better government. Let every man make known what kind of government would command his respect, and that will be one step toward obtaining it.

After all, the practical reason why, when the power is once in the hands of the people, a majority are permitted, and for a long period continue, to rule is not because they are most likely to be in the right, nor because this seems fairest to the minority, but because they are physically the strongest. But government in which the majority rule in all cases can not be based on justice, even as far as men understand it. Can there not be a government in which the majorities do not virtually decide right and wrong, but conscience? — in which majorities decide only those questions to which the rule of expediency is applicable? Must the citizen ever for a moment, or in the least degree, resign his conscience to the legislator? Why has every man a conscience then? I think that we should be men first, and subjects afterward. It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right. The only obligation which I have a right to assume is to do at any time what I think right. It is truly enough said that a corporation has no conscience; but a corporation of conscientious men is a corporation with a conscience. Law never made men a whit more just; and, by means of their respect for it, even the well-disposed are daily made the agents of injustice. A common and natural result of an undue respect for the law is, that you may see a file of soldiers, colonel, captain, corporal, privates, powder-monkeys, and all, marching in admirable order over hill and dale to the wars, against their wills, ay, against their common sense and consciences, which makes it very steep marching indeed, and produces a palpitation of the heart. They have no doubt that it is a damnable business in which they are concerned; they are all peaceably inclined. Now, what are they? Men at all? or small movable forts and magazines, at the service of some unscrupulous man in power? Visit the Navy Yard, and behold a marine, such a man as an American government can make, or such as it can make a man with its black arts — a mere shadow and reminiscence of humanity, a man laid out alive and standing, and already, as one may say, buried under arms with funeral accompaniment, though it may be,

“Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note,
As his corse to the rampart we hurried;
Not a soldier discharged his farewell shot
O’er the grave where our hero was buried.”

The mass of men serve the state thus, not as men mainly, but as machines, with their bodies. They are the standing army, and the militia, jailers, constables, posse comitatus, etc. In most cases there is no free exercise whatever of the judgment or of the moral sense; but they put themselves on a level with wood and earth and stones; and wooden men can perhaps be manufactured that will serve the purpose as well. Such command no more respect than men of straw or a lump of dirt. They have the same sort of worth only as horses and dogs. Yet such as these even are commonly esteemed good citizens. Others — as most legislators, politicians, lawyers, ministers, and office-holders — serve the state chiefly with their heads; and, as they rarely make any moral distinctions, they are as likely to serve the devil, without intending it, as God. A very few — as heroes, patriots, martyrs, reformers in the great sense, and men — serve the state with their consciences also, and so necessarily resist it for the most part; and they are commonly treated as enemies by it. A wise man will only be useful as a man, and will not submit to be “clay,” and “stop a hole to keep the wind away,” but leave that office to his dust at least:

“I am too high-born to be propertied,
To be a second at control,
Or useful serving-man and instrument
To any sovereign state throughout the world.”

He who gives himself entirely to his fellow men appears to them useless and selfish; but he who gives himself partially to them is pronounced a benefactor and philanthropist.

How does it become a man to behave toward the American government today? I answer, that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it. I cannot for an instant recognize that political organization as my government which is the slave’s government also.

All men recognize the right of revolution; that is, the right to refuse allegiance to, and to resist, the government, when its tyranny or its inefficiency are great and unendurable. But almost all say that such is not the case now. But such was the case, they think, in the Revolution of ‘75. If one were to tell me that this was a bad government because it taxed certain foreign commodities brought to its ports, it is most probable that I should not make an ado about it, for I can do without them. All machines have their friction; and possibly this does enough good to counter-balance the evil. At any rate, it is a great evil to make a stir about it. But when the friction comes to have its machine, and oppression and robbery are organized, I say, let us not have such a machine any longer. In other words, when a sixth of the population of a nation which has undertaken to be the refuge of liberty are slaves, and a whole country is unjustly overrun and conquered by a foreign army, and subjected to military law, I think that it is not too soon for honest men to rebel and revolutionize. What makes this duty the more urgent is that fact that the country so overrun is not our own, but ours is the invading army.

Fredericton Feminists Set To Hijack 20th Anniversary of Montreal Massacre

Ed A. Tor — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 01:11:45 +0000

December 3, 2009 is the 20th anniversary of the deaths of 14 women at École Polytechnique in Montreal at the hands of a madman who went on a shooting spree. So with that in mind, a Lunatic Fringe of Feminists from the Public Service Alliance of Canada and the University of New Brunswick intend to hijack the anniversary and use it as a platform to protest the Harper Governments recent Bill C-391 – the abolition of the long gun registry.

First of all, how dare these women compare a crazed madman to us honest, decent, responsible gun owners. I tend to lean towards liberal tendencies but Alan Rock is one SOB that turned me sour against the Liberal Party. The one thing that has pissed me off over the years was all of the BS that I went through because of that government interference in my life.

I am here to tell you that I never complied with the law and never will comply with the law. Simple as that. Now according to the unconstitutional long gun registry I am a criminal. Well no one ever arrested me. I even sent a letter to the government saying I would not comply and continue to possess guns. That is how strongly I feel about this.

I am not a criminal. I am a tax payer. I have never been arrested. I have have given to my community. I am not radical. The registry law may have said that I was a criminal but I was never arrested. Do you want to know why? There are thousands of us in Canada that did the same thing. It is called civil disobedience. We challenged the government to arrest us. They would not. Do you want to know why? They knew that the law would have been struck down on constitutional grounds. The government also knew that we are organized and well funded.

Finally guns…Guns to me are just another household appliance. I know them inside out. Guns are part of my heritage, my culture, my birthright. Register them? Not a chance. I am not going to register my chainsaw, my hunting knives, my hammer, my saws…etc. Guns, like anything that may cause bodily harm, need to be treated with respect.

This law does nothing to protect women from a lunatic hell-bent on killing them. Notta, zilch, zero, zip. These Feminists should be ashamed of themselves. They have hijacked a horrible moment in Canadian history to express their displeasure with Government abolishing an unconstitutional law. I am far from Conservative, but I commend the Harper Government for abolishing it.

All this law did was alienate people. It projected a big city mentality on the rest of Canada. Hunting may not be a way of life in Toronto but it is here. Just look at how big city mentality reacts to a deer running loose in Toronto. S.W.A.T., Fire Department, Animal Resuce, and a whole section of downtown Toronto cordoned off.

So to these women I say, although you have a right to protest, the hijacking of the 20th anniversary to help your cause is sleazy and deplorable.

DOS: This site under attack

Ed A. Tor — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 19:40:15 +0000

I guess I made some enemies somewhere because this afternoon this site is under a Denial of Service Attack. As of right now nothing is showing up in my stats, but having never been through this before, I do not understand how it is being done.

I apologize for the lag on here but it is a bunch of scumbags somewhere who I obviously pissed off.

The host server has been contacted and I am waiting for information from their end. If I can track these bastards down I will press charges.

Is Premier Shawn Graham Selling out New Brunswick? I dunno. I’m Just Asking.

Ed A. Tor — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 19:35:14 +0000

Is Shawn Graham, the Premier of New Brunswick, a liar? I dunno. I’m just asking. I do have this before an after photo. On the left is Shawn before becoming Premier, and on the right we have Premier Shawnocciho. Is that proof that he is a liar? I dunno. I’m just asking.

If a political-wannabe in an election campaign says, oh for example, the New Brunswick Power Commission is NOT for sale, but then gets elected and then negotiates a backroom deal to sell it to Hydro Quebec, what is that called? Is it lying? I dunno. I’m just asking.

I wonder if there a carbon tax on the hot air generated from verbal diarrhea? I dunno. I’m just asking.

What if the Premier of New Brunswick, oh let’ say, decides to skim $420 million dollars of of the profits from NB Power, and then doles out $6 million to everyone’s friend, Irving. I dunno. I’m just asking.

How about chucking $6 million into the politician’s pension fund when everyone was worried about the spring flood and a busted economy? Then spend a paltry amount off $4 million for Shawn’s jet. What would that person be? Hmm, a Mafia Don? I dunno. I’m just asking.

What if these above numbers were researched and fact-checked by a 4th-Year UNB Business Student? What about this student trying to say her piece to Mainstream Media and the Policticos, only to be rebuked? Would you call that trying to evade reality? Would that be dishonest on their part? Hmmm I dunno. I am just asking!

Click here to view the embedded video.

Does this video of this highly intelligent woman speak volumes to how Shawn Graham Government is selling a boat load of promises? I dunno. I’m just asking.

Should she should be Premier? After all is seems rather intelligent, clever, and witty. I dunno. I’m just asking.

Does Shawn have brains or a head full of sailboat fuel? I dunno. I’m Just asking.

Fat People – Stay out of Peru or You may end up in Lipstick

Ed A. Tor — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 14:14:08 +0000

Just when I thought that the world could not be any crazier, comes word out of Peru that a gang of murderous thugs has been stalking, killing, and extracting the fat from pleasantly plump of society. Then they take the fat and sell it on the black market to cosmetic companies.

Just think about that the next time you put on lipstick. You just might be tasting the fat of some poor sap that was killed by these guys.

Look I don’t make this stuff up. The world really is this sick and twisted. But everything is OK

A little sniff for the dog mate? – Everything is OK

Ed A. Tor — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:41:57 +0000

In this installment of the NWO’s abuse of power, the ‘Everything is OK’ guys video record police using a sniffer dog on people as they LEAVE the subway, or as the Brits say ‘The Tube’.

Yes as they leave the subway. If this was being done to protect the safety of those riding the subway, shouldn’t they be sniffing people as they get on the subway?

Click here to view the embedded video.

But we quickly learn that they are not doing this for safety. A person who was searched states that they are looking for drugs. ARRRRRGH Why do people allow this to happen?

It is just plain scary that people are complying with the sniff. Legally they do not have to. This is all part of conditioning people to accept the Police State and allow them control you, while giving up your right to liberty and privacy.

Notice in the video, when the commentator is asked who he is working for, he quickly says to the police “I am not telling you.” The cop knows that he has overstepped his authoirty and quickly turns his back on the commentator.

Unless people are willing to exercise their rights, they will lose them.

WAKE UP PEOPLE!

New Brunswick’s Credit Rating Downgraded – Spin Doctors Called To Action

Ed A. Tor — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 13:12:37 +0000

The Government of New Brunswick has had it’s credit rating downgraded. For all of you that are economically-challenged this DOES hurt you as a citizen of New Brunswick. The lower rating means that the government has to pay a higher interest rate. A higher interest rate means either a cut in services or a tax increase to satisfy the debt.

Moody’s Downgrades New Brunswick’s Debt Rating to Aa2 (Update1)

By Alexandre Deslongchamps

Aug. 24 (Bloomberg) — New Brunswick had its debt rating cut by one level to Aa2 by Moody’s Investors Service Ltd. because the Canadian province will record a “sizable” increase in its borrowing over four years, the rating company said.

The downgrade will affect about C$11.2 billion ($10.4 billion) of the province’s debt, Moody’s said in a statement today. The rating company also said the province’s rating outlook is stable.

The province’s financing requirements will rise to C$1.2 billion in the 2010 fiscal year and C$1.4 billion in 2011, Moody’s said. This will increase its debt-to-revenue ratio to 150 percent after a four-year fiscal plan is implemented, compared with 106 percent in 2009. The province, home to about 747,000 residents, will record deficits equivalent to 10 percent of its revenue over the next four years.

The credit downgrade was the first action by Moody’s since it boosted New Brunswick’s grade to the second-highest rating of Aa1 in November 2006, up two levels from the previous Aa3.

A phone call to the province’s Finance Department requesting comment was not immediately returned.

Of course you know that the government will not stand for this. They will fix this problem…right? Ummm…well…queue the Spin Doctors:

Moody’s Investors Service issues rating for New Brunswick (09/08/28)

NB 1234

Aug. 28, 2009

FREDERICTON (CNB) – New Brunswick maintains its leadership spot in having the highest overall credit rating of any province east of Ontario, despite a Moody’s Investors Service revised credit rating from Aa1 to Aa2 issued on Monday, Aug. 24, acting Finance Minister Jack Keir said today.

The province’s rating has a stable outlook, according to Moody’s. Both Dominion Bond Rating Service and Standard & Poor’s recently maintained the province’s ratings at A (high) and AA-, respectively, with stable outlooks from both.

“We are certainly the first to recognize that there are challenges ahead,” said Keir. “We remain committed to the plan we set out in the budget – a plan that is stimulating the economy today, and stimulating medium- and long-term growth by reducing taxes for New Brunswickers, while realizing efficiencies in service delivery. It is a plan that will bring the books into balance and subsequently reduce net debt.”

The main components of the plan tabled on March 17 are:

* a four-year plan to return to balanced budgets;
* $1.2 billion for infrastructure and support for businesses;
* the Plan for Lower Taxes in New Brunswick;
* investing in priorities, including health care and education; and
* responsible management of government expenditures.

Moody’s also noted that, “New Brunswick’s credit profile remains firmly in the high investment-grade category,” and that it expects the province’s “tax reform will support long-term economic growth.”

Well it seems that this setback is nothing to worry about. It is business as usual, but really what choice do we have?

All levels of Canadian Government borrow money from banks, at interest, to do their business of governing. All told across Canada, this equates to in excess of one hundred and sixty million dollars per day in interest payments. Here is a little factoid for you. All levels of government, if they so desired, could borrow money interest-free from the Bank of Canada. So the question is why don’t they? It is simple…politicians are in the back pocket of big business.

We could, by law, pay off our debts to these banks with money from the BOC and save ourselves a ton of cash. Money that could be used to eliminate income tax, or pay for university education, help the needy. Get the picture? The current system of governance that we have holds us hostage to Banksters that, at the drop of a hat, can milk us.

So why do we accept this?

Charlie Sheen 9/11 Interview With President Obama

Ed A. Tor — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 16:41:21 +0000

Charlie Sheen writing 20 Minutes with the President. Photo by Alex Jones.

The following is a dramatization only. It is an Infowar Campaign to hold Obama accountable for his poor choices and broken promises as President.

Charlie Sheen is a true patriot with balls the size of King Kong. He was able to use his fame to get an interview with the President. There was no sugar coating on the interview but both parties were cordial and professional.

Mr. Sheen has put the ball in Obama’s court and told him to be on the right side of history.

On the eve on the 9/11 anniversary, this truly is a glorious day. Obama has to choose. Is he on the side of truth and good or deceit and evil? Time will tell.

Charlie makes over $20,000,000 per year and is risking his fame and fortune to fight the good fight. You need to follow his lead and get the word out. Send this to your local media, tell your friends, family. Call your local talk show.

It is our actions that will put a halt to the advance of the New World Order. If you do nothing you will be on the wrong side of history.

Transcript as per Infowars.com:

I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with our 44th President of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama, while he was out promoting his health care reform initiative. I requested 30 minutes given the scope and detail of my inquiry; they said I could have 20. Twenty minutes, 1200 seconds, not a lot of time to question the President about one of the most important events in our nation’s history. The following is a transcript of our remarkable discussion.

————————————————————————————————————————

Charlie Sheen – Good afternoon Mr. President, thank you so much for taking time out of your demanding schedule.

President Barack Obama – My pleasure, the content of your request seemed like something I should carve out a few minutes for.

CS – I should point out that I voted for you, as your promises of hope and change, transparency and accountability, as well as putting government back into the hands of the American people, struck an emotional chord in me that I hadn’t felt in quite some time, perhaps ever.

PBO – And I appreciate that Charlie. Big fan of the show, by the way.

CS – Sir, I can’t imagine when you might find the time to actually watch my show given the measure of what you inherited.

PBO – I have it Tivo’d on Air Force One. Nice break from the traveling press corps. (He glances at his watch) not to be abrupt or to rush you, but you have 19 minutes left.

CS – I’ll take that as an invitation to cut to the chase.

PBO – I’m all ears. Or so I’ve been told.

CS – Sir, in the very near future we will be experiencing our first 9/11 anniversary with you as Commander in Chief.

PBO – Yes. A very solemn day for our Nation. A day of reflection and yet a day of historical consciousness as well.

CS – Very much so sir, very much so indeed…. Now; In researching your position regarding the events of 9/11 and the subsequent investigation that followed, am I correct to understand that you fully support and endorse the findings of the commission report otherwise known as the ‘official story’?

PBO – Do I have any reason not to? Given that most of us are presumably in touch with similar evidence.

CS – I really wish that were the case, sir. Are you aware, Mr. President, of the recent stunning revelations that sixty percent of the 9/11 commissioners have publicly stated that the government agreed not to tell the truth about 9/11 and that the Pentagon was engaged in deliberate deception about their response to the attack?

PBO – I am aware of certain “in fighting” during the course of their very thorough and tireless investigative process.

CS – Mr. President, it’s hard to label this type of friction as “in fighting” or make the irresponsible leap to “thorough,” when the evidence I insist you examine regarding 6 of the 10 members are statements of fact.

(At this point one of Obama’s senior aides approaches the President and whispers into his ear. Obama glances quickly at his watch and nods as the aide resumes his post at the doorway, directly behind me.)

PBO – No disrespect Mr. Sheen, but I have to ask; what is it that you seem to be implying with the initial direction of this discussion?

CS – I am not implying anything Mr. President. I am here to present the facts and see what you plan to do with them.

PBO – Let me guess; your ‘facts,’ allegedly supporting these claims are in the folders you brought with you?

CS – Good guess Mr. President.

(I hand the first folder of documents to the President)

CS – Again sir, these are not my opinions or assumptions, this is all a matter of public record, reported through mainstream media, painstakingly fact checked and verified.

(the President glances into the folder I handed him)

CS – You’ll notice sir on page one of the dossier dated August of ‘06 from the Washington Post, the statements of John Farmer, senior council to the 9/11 commission, his quote stating, “I was shocked how different the truth was from the way it was described.”

PBO – (as he glances down at the report, almost inaudible) …. um hmm….

CS – He goes on to further state “The [NORAD Air Defense] tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years….”

(the President continues to view the documents)

CS – On pages two and three, sir, are the statements, as well, from commission co-chairmen Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, commissioners Bob Kerrey, Timothy Roemer and John Lehman, as well as the statements of commissioner Max Cleland, an ex-Senator from Georgia , who resigned, stating:

“It is a national scandal. This investigation is now compromised. One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9/11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up.”

He also described President Bush’s desire to delay the process as not to damage the ‘04 re-election bid. They suspected deception to the point where they considered referring the matter to the Justice Department for criminal investigation. Mr. President, this information alone is unequivocally grounds for a new investigation!

PBO – Mistakes were clearly made but we as a people and as a country need to move forward. It is obviously in our best interest as a democratic society to focus our efforts and our resources on the future of this great nation and our ability to protect the American people and our allies from this type of terrorism in the coming years.

CS – Sir, how can we focus on the future when THE COMMISSION ITSELF is on record stating that they still do not know the truth??

PBO – Even if what you state, might in some capacity, begin to approach an open discussion or balanced debate, I can’t speak for, or about the decisions certain commission members made during an extremely difficult period. Perhaps you should be interviewing them instead of me. Wait, don’t tell me; I was easier to track down than they were?

CS – Not exactly sir, but let’s be honest. You’re the President of the United States, the leader of the free world, the buck stops with you. 9/11 has been the pretext for the systematic dismantling of our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Your administration is reading from the same playbook that the Bush administration foisted on America through documented secrecy and deception.

PBO – Mr. Sheen, I’m having a difficult time sitting here and listening to you draw distorted parallels between the Bush/Cheney regime and mine.

CS – Mr. President the parallels are not distorted just because you say they are. Let’s stick to the facts. You promised to abolish the Patriot Act and then voted to re-authorize it. You pledged to end warrantless wire tapping against the American people and now energetically defend it. You decried the practice of rendition and now continue it. You promised over and over again on the campaign trail, that you would end the practice of indefinite detention and instead, you have expanded it to permanent detention of “detainees” without trial. This far exceeds the outrages of the former administration. Call me crazy Mr. President, but is this not your record?

PBO – Mr. Sheen, my staff and I authorized this interview based on your request to discuss 9/11 and deliver some additional information you’re convinced I’d not previously reviewed. Call me crazy, But it appears as though you’ve blindly wandered off topic.

CS – Sir, the examples I just illustrated are a direct result of 9/11.

PBO – And I’m telling you that we must move forward, we must endure through these dangerous and politically challenging years ahead.

CS – Mr. President, we cannot move forward with a bottomless warren of unanswered questions surrounding that day and its aftermath.

PBO – I read the official report. Every word every page. Perhaps you should do the same.

CS – I have sir, and so have thousands of family members of the victims, and guess what; they have the same questions I do and probably a lot more. I didn’t lose a loved one on that horrific day Mr. President and neither did you. But since then I, along with millions of other Americans lost something we held true and dear for most of our lives in this great country of ours; we lost our hope.

PBO – And I’d like to believe that I am here to restore that hope. To restore confidence in your leaders, in the system that the voting public chose through a peaceful transfer of power.

(An odd moment of silence between us. Precious time ticking away).

CS – Mr. President, are you aware of the number of days it took to begin the investigation into JFK’s assassination?

PBO – If memory serves I believe it was two weeks.

CS – Close. Seventeen days to be exact. Are you aware sir, how long it took to begin the investigation into Pearl Harbor?

PBO – I would say again about….two weeks.

CS – Close again sir, eleven days to be exact. Are you aware Mr. President how long it took to begin the investigation into 9/11?

PBO – I know it must have seemed like a very long time for all the grieving families.

CS – It was a very long time Mr. President – four hundred and forty days. Roughly 14 months. Does it bother you Mr. President that it only took FIVE HOURS for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld after the initial attack to recommend and endorse a full scale offensive against Iraq?

PBO – I am not aware of any such purported claim.

CS – I have the proof Mr. President, along with scores of documents and facts I’d like you to take a look at. Here.

(I hand him another file – much thicker than the first)

PBO – I see you came prepared Charlie.

CS – No other way to show up Mr. President. When in doubt over prepare I always say.

PBO – Now you sound like the First Lady.

CS – That’s quite a compliment sir.

PBO – As you wish. Please continue.

CS – Sir, I’d like to direct your attention to the stack of documents in the folder I just handed you. The first in from the top is entitled “ Operation Northwoods“, a declassified Pentagon plan to stage terror attacks on US soil, to be blamed on Cuba as a pretext for war.

PBO – And I’d like to direct your attention to the fact that the principle draftsman of this improbable blueprint was quickly denied a second term as Joint Chiefs chairman and sent packing to a European NATO garrison. Thank God his otherworldly ambitions never saw the light of day.

CS – I wouldn’t be so certain about that Mr. President.

PBO – I could easily say the same to you Charlie.

(the President checks his watch)

CS – The next document reads “Declassified staged provocations.” Now, Honestly Mr. President I wish I was making this stuff up. I’m certain you are familiar with the USS Maine Incident, the sinking of the Lusitania, which we all now know brought us into WW1, and of course the most famous, the Gulf of Tonkin incident.

PBO – Of course I am familiar with these historical events and I’m aware that there’s a measure of controversy surrounding them. But to be quite frank with you, this is all ancient history.

CS – Mr. President, it has been often said; “Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.” And I concede to you sir, these events are the past.

PBO – A vastly different world young man, shouldering a radically disparate state of universal affairs.

CS – No argument sir, I’m merely inviting you to acknowledge some credibility to the pattern or the theme. Case in point; the next document in your folder. It was published by the think-tank, Project For a New American Century and it’s entitled “ Rebuilding Americas Defenses“, and was written by Dick Cheney and Jeb Bush. To quote from the document sir – (the President interrupts)

PBO – “Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor.”

CS – Touche, sir. Your thoughts on this statement Mr. President?

PBO – I would call this a blatant case of misjudgment fueled by an unfortunate milieu of assumption. For some, the uninformed denial of coincidence.

CS – Interesting angle sir. Nevertheless, Vice President Cheney didn’t stop there. In early 2008, Pulitzer prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh and MSNBC, both reported that Cheney had proposed to the Pentagon an outrageous plan to have the U.S. Navy create fake Iranian patrol boats, to be manned by Navy Seals, who would then stage an attack on US destroyers in the Strait of Hormuz. This event was to be blamed on Iran and used as a pretext for war. Does any of this information worry you Mr. President? Should we just ignore it, until these realities can be dismissed years from now by our children, as ancient history as well?

PBO – Of course this information worries me, yet it’s not nearly as worrisome as you sitting here today suspiciously implying that 9/11 was somehow allowed to happen or even orchestrated from the inside.

CS – Mr. President I am not suspiciously implying anything. I am merely exposing the documents and asking the questions that nobody in power will even look at or acknowledge. And as I stated earlier, I voted for you, I believed in your message of hope and change. Mr. President I have come to you specifically hoping for a change. A change in the perception that our government has not yet made itself open and accountable to the people. These are your words Mr. President not mine. The lives of thousands were brutally cut short and those left behind to suffer their infinite pain are with me today Mr. President. They are with me in spirit and flesh, and the message we carry will not be silenced anymore by media fueled mantras insisting how they are supposed to feel. Deciding for them, for 8 long years, what can be thought, what can be said, what can be asked.

PBO – And I appreciate your passion, I appreciate your conviction. In spite of your concerns, in spite of what your data might or might not reveal, what you and the families must understand and accept is that we are doing everything we can to protect you.

CS – Mr. President , I realize were very short on time, so please allow me to run down a list of bullet points that might illuminate some reasons why we don’t embrace the warm hug of Federal protection.

PBO – We’ve come this far. Fire away.

CS – Please keep in mind Mr. President everything I’m about to say is documented as fact and part of the public record. The information you are holding in your hands chronicles and verifies each and every point.

PBO – You have five minutes left. The floor is yours. Brief me.

CS – Thank you Mr. President. Okay, first; On the FBI’s most wanted list Osama Bin Laden is not charged with the crimes of 911. When I called the FBI to ask them why this was the case, they replied: “There’s not enough evidence to link Bin Laden to the crime scene,” I later discovered he had never even been indicted by the D.O.J.

CS – Number 2; FBI translator Sibel Edmonds, was dismissed and gagged by the D.O.J. after she revealed that the government had foreknowledge of plans to attack American cities using planes as bombs as early as April 2001. In July of ‘09, Mrs. Edmonds broke the Federal gag order and went public to reveal that Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda and the Taliban were all working for and with the C.I.A. up until the day of 9/11.

CS – Number 3; The following is a quote from Mayor Giuliani during an interview on 9/11 with Peter Jennings for ABC News. “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.”

WHO TOLD HIM THIS??? To this day, the answer to this question remains unanswered, completely ignored and emphatically DENIED by Mayor Giuliani on several public occasions.

CS – Number 4; In April 2004, USA Today reported, “In the two years before the Sept. 11 attacks, the North American Aerospace Defense Command conducted exercises simulating what the White House says was unimaginable at the time: hijacked airliners used as weapons to crash into targets and cause mass casualties.” One of the targets was the World Trade Center.

CS – Number 5; On September 12th 2007, CNN’s ‘Anderson Cooper 360′, reported that the mysterious “white plane” spotted and videotaped by multiple media outlets, flying in restricted airspace over the White House shortly before 10am on the morning of 9/11, was in fact the Air Force’s E-4B, a specially modified Boeing 747 with a communications pod behind the cockpit; otherwise known as “The Doomsday Plane”.

Though fully aware of the event, the 9/11 Commission did not deem the appearance of the military plane to be of any interest and did not include it in the final 9/11 Commission report.

CS – Number 6; Three F-16s assigned to Andrews Air Force Base, ten miles from Washington, DC, are conducting training exercises in North Carolina 207 miles away as the first plane crashes into the WTC. Even at significantly less than their top speed of 1500 mph, they could still have defended the skies over Washington well before 9am, more than 37 minutes before Flight 77 crashes into the Pentagon, however, they did not return until after 9:55am.

Andrews AFB had no armed fighters on alert and ready to take off on the morning of 9/11.

CS – Number 7; WTC Building 7. Watch the video of its collapse.

CS – Number 8; Flight 93 is fourth plane to crash on 9/11 at 10:03am. V.P. Cheney only gives shoot down order at 10:10-10:20am and this is not communicated to NORAD until 28 minutes after Flight 93 has crashed.

Fueling further suspicion on this front is the fact that three months before the attacks of 9/11, Dick Cheney usurped control of NORAD, and therefore he, and no one else on planet Earth, had the power to call for military sorties on the hijacked airliners on 9/11. He did not exercise that power. Three months after 9/11, he relinquished command of NORAD and returned it to military operation.

CS – Number 9; Scores of main stream news outlets reported that the F.B.I. conducted an investigation of at least FIVE of the 9/11 hijackers being trained at U.S. military flight schools. Those investigations are now sealed and need to be declassified.

CS – Number 10; In 2004, New York firefighters Mike Bellone and Nicholas DeMasi went public to say they had found the black boxes at the World Trade Center, but were told to keep their mouths shut by FBI agents. Nicholas DeMasi said that he escorted federal agents on an all-terrain vehicle in October 2001 and helped them locate the devices, a story backed up by rescue volunteer Mike Bellone.

As the Philadelphia Daily News reported at the time, “Their story raises the question of whether there was a some type of cover-up at Ground Zero.”

CS – Number 11 – Hundreds of eye witnesses including first responders, fire captains, news reporters, and police, all described multiple explosions in both towers before and during the collapse.

CS – Number 12; An astounding video uncovered from the archives shows BBC News correspondent Jane Standley reporting on the collapse of WTC Building 7 over twenty minutes before it fell at 5:20pm on the afternoon of 9/11. Tapes from earlier BBC broadcasts show news anchors discussing the collapse of WTC 7 a full 26 minutes in advance. The BBC at first claimed that their tapes from 9/11 had been “lost” before admitting that they made the “error” of reporting the collapse of WTC 7 before it happened without adequately explaining how they could have obtained advance knowledge of the event.

In addition, over an hour before the collapse of WTC 7, at 4:10pm, CNN’s Aaron Brown reported that the building “has either collapsed, or is collapsing.”

CS – Number 13; Solicitor General Ted Olson’s claim that his wife Barbara Olsen called him twice from Flight 77, describing hijackers with box cutters, was a central plank of the official 9/11 story.

However, the credibility of the story was completely undermined after Olsen kept changing his story about whether his wife used her cell phone or the airplane phone. The technology to enable cell phone calls from high-altitude airline flights was not created until 2004. American Airlines confirmed that Flight 77 was a Boeing 757 and that this plane did not have airplane phones on board.

According to the FBI, Barbara Olsen attempted to call her husband only once and the call failed to connect, therefore Olsen must have been lying when he claimed he had spoken to his wife from Flight 77.

CS – Number 14; The size of a Boeing 757 is approximately 125ft in width and yet images of the impact zone at the Pentagon supposedly caused by the crash merely show a hole no more than 16ft in diameter. The engines of the 757 would have punctured a hole bigger than this, never mind the whole plane. Images before the partial collapse of the impact zone show little real impact damage and a sparse debris field completely inconsistent with the crash of a large jetliner, especially when contrasted with other images showing airplane crashes into buildings.

CS – Number 15; What is the meaning behind the following quote attributed to Dick Cheney which came to light during the 9/11 Commission hearings? The passage is taken from testimony given by then Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta.

During the time that the airplane was coming in to the Pentagon, there was a young man who would come in and say to the Vice President, “The plane is 50 miles out.” “The plane is 30 miles out.” And when it got down to “the plane is 10 miles out,” the young man also said to the Vice President, “Do the orders still stand?” And the Vice President turned and whipped his neck around and said, “Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?”

As the plane was not shot down, in addition to the fact that armed fighter jets were nowhere near the plane and the Pentagon defensive system was not activated, are we to take it that the orders were to let the plane find its target?

CS – Number 16; In May 2003, the Miami Herald reported how the Bush administration was refusing to release a 900-page congressional report on 9/11 because it wanted to “avoid enshrining embarrassing details in the report,” particularly regarding pre-9/11 warnings as well as the fact that the hijackers were trained at U.S. flight schools.

CS – Number 17; Top Pentagon officials cancelled their scheduled flights for September 11th on September 10th. San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, following a security warning, cancelled a flight into New York that was scheduled for the morning of 9/11.

CS – Number 18; The technology to enable cell phone calls from high-altitude airline flights was not created until 2004, and even by that point it was only in the trial phase. Calls from cell phones which formed an integral part of the official government version of events were technologically impossible at the time.

CS – Number 19: On April 29, 2004, President Bush and V.P. Cheney would only meet with the commission under specific clandestine conditions. They insisted on testifying together and not under oath. They also demanded that their testimony be treated as a matter of “state secret.” To date, nothing they spoke of that day exists in the public domain.

CS – And finally Mr. President – Number 20; A few days after the attack, several newspapers as well as the FBI reported that a paper passport had been found in the ruins of the WTC. In August 2004, CNN reported that 9/11 hijacker Ziad Jarrah’s visa was found in the remains of Flight 93 which went down in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

At least a third of the WTC victim’s bodies were vaporized and many of the victims of the Pentagon incident were burned beyond recognition. And yet visas and paper passports which identify the perpetrators and back up the official version of events miraculously survive explosions and fires that we are told melted steel buildings.

(The Senior aide appears again beside the President whispering in his ear. He then quickly moves off).

PBO – Well Charlie I can’t say this hasn’t been interesting. As I said earlier you’ve showed up today focused and organized. Regardless how I feel about the material you’ve presented, I must commend your dedication and zeal. However, our time here is up.

(the President rises from his chair , I do the same).

CS – Mr. President! One more second!

(The President starts towards the door – I follow him quickly step for step).

CS – Mr. President, I implore you based on the evidence you now possess, to use your Executive Power. Prove to us all Sir, that you do, in fact, care. Create a truly comprehensive and open Congressional investigation of 9/11 and its aftermath. The families deserve the truth, the American people and the rest of the free world deserve the truth. Mr. President -

(He pauses. We shake hands).

CS – Make sure you’re on the right side of history.

(The President breaks the handshake).

PBO – I am on the right side of history. Thank you Charlie, my staff and I will be in touch.

(I watch as he strides gracefully out of the room, the truth I provided him held firmly by his side; in the hand of providence.)

Again, Charlie Sheen and Alex Jones have asked that you spread this far and wide so that pressure is put on mainstream media to cover this historic event. Do your part.

New Brunswick’s ‘Newschaser’ of YouTube Fame

Ed A. Tor — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 22:31:48 +0000

Now here is a guy who is always ‘Johnny-on-the-spot’ when it comes to capturing video of motor vehicle accidents and other newsworthy events. From the videos that I have seen, he does not offer any commentary, so I have to conclude that he does this in hope of making a buck feeding video footage to mainstream media.

His YouTube channel is Newschaser and it is a good description of him. He must be using a scanner to alert to emergency service calls and also monitoring CB radio broadcasts because he beats the cops to the scene.

According to information on his YouTube channel he is in the process of developing a new website: Newschaser.ca. Personally, I can not wait. Good luck.

Finally, there is an alternative to YouTube as I wrote about previously. UDoNews.com is a news sharing site will pay you for your unique news.

On The Edge with Max Keiser: 28-08-09

Ed A. Tor — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 11:57:54 +0000

On this week show Max has a jam-packed show discussing many events that have taken place in the past week that mainstream news refuses to cover.

- He talks about the psychopath financial terrorist, Ben Bernanke, being nominated for another 4-year term as Chairman of the Fed.

- Next he discusses the Joe Lieberman Chicken Dance – where Joe says that he does not care about America’s unemployed.

- Regular contributor Stacy Herbert calls in to offer her views on Bernanke, and informs us that a New York judge has ordered the Fed to disclose to whom two trillion dollars were given to.

- Finally Max interviews special guest Mike “Mish” Shedlock, a Chicago Investment Adviser. Mish, a Blogger, was one of very few who predicted in 2008 that the USA would enter a deflationary phase. This was when all mainstream so-called pundits were predicting rapid inflation. For us Canadians, he talks about a massive housing bubble that is soon to come. You see here in Canada we are suffering from Ostrich Syndrome. While the world economy collapses we, in our smug naivety, think that we are immune from the world financial collapse.

News flash – coming soon to the country you live in – ‘Bubble Burst – The Collapse of the Canadian Economy’.
