United 93 - Movie of the Week

The SMH TV guide rates "United 93" worthy of the honour "Movie of the Week". How about we be a little more discerning about what get's served up to us as recommended viewing.

According to the official story, on 9/11, flight United 93 crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, killing all on board. Unlike the other 3 fateful flights that morning, the account of the United 93 has achieved legend status. As the hijackers guided their missile towards the White House, several passengers teamed together to rush the cockpit, resulting in the plane nose-diving into the ground. The catch cry "Let's roll" are their last recorded words. This was not just a few people taking the initiative, this was America fighting back against terror. It's the stuff of Hollywood.

This is just one of several movies about Flight 93. The story has also spawned several books written about the individual heroes of Flight 93. And like all good myths the stories become more and more embellished over time. "Let's roll" became a propaganda slogan.

But what really happened to United 93? Here are just a few of the anomalies that remain unexplained.

Most of the script is based on mobile phone calls made by the passengers. However, due to the technology at the time and the altitude at which the calls were made, it's a technological impossibility that the calls could have been made. Phones fail after 8oooft. 93 was cruising at 25000ft. No other mobile calls were recorded from any other hijacked flights that day for that very reason. So what are they basing the script on?

The crater into which the plane supposedly crashed was reported by witnesses to contain no recognizable plane debris. No wings, engines, fuselage, bodies or luggage. This crash site looks nothing like a typical plane crash site.

Debris was found, however, over an 8 square mile radius, indicating that a craft of some sort disintegrated at altitude. Witnesses report debris falling from the sky.

What's more, why wasn't United 93 intercepted by the military? It was the last plane to crash, so there was the greatest response time available to get interceptors up. Perhaps they did, but the shootdown scenario creates a problem. What if the passengers had wrestled back control of the plane, only to be blown out of the sky by a missile? That account would be unthinkable. That wouldn't make very useful propaganda. Better revisit the script.

Hollywood has for years been influenced and coerced by the CIA to produce entertainment with the intent to influence general opinion or worldview to serve the government agenda. It's just another arm of the controlled mainline media.

Like the 9/11 official story, much of the United 93 story is anomalous, unscientific, inexplicable or just bald face lies. One things is for sure, many innocent people lost their lives on 9/11 and the incumbent administration has done nothing to pursue the truth, but has instead deliberately obstructed and manipulated any investigation.

10 Steps to Fascism

Naomi Wolf has written a book "The End of America: A letter of Warning to a Young Patriot" which outlines the 10 steps that every fascist dictatorship adopts when closing down a democracy. Hitler, Mussolini, Mao etc all followed the same recipe.

1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy.
   
   
2. Create secret prisons where torture takes place.
   
   
3. Develop a thug caste or paramilitary force not answerable to citizens.
   
   
4. Set up an internal surveillance system.
   
   
5. Harass citizens' groups.
   
   
6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release.
   
   
7. Target key individuals.
   
   
8. Control the press.
   
   
9. Treat all political dissidents as traitors.
   
   
10. Suspend the rule of law.

The Bush administration in the US has ticked all 10 boxes. This leaves us in no doubt where America is headed.

good 5 min summary

What about Australia? I can see we tick off at least 6 boxes. I don't know if we have a secret torture prison, it's a secret! Did Dr Haneef get roughed up? What do you reckon? I can't identify a para-military guns-for-hire company like Blackwater in Australia, doesn't mean that the government hasn't got contracts in place with similar companies. Rule of law is still in tact but no doubt the government has a mechanism for declaring martial law under certain extenuating circumstances. All is needed is the appropriate triggering event.

Over-reacting? Read today's news.

Bali Bombing - Aussie 9/11?

Six years ago, on October 12th 2002, Australia experienced what has been described as Australia's 9/11. A massive bomb ripped through a Balinese nightclub in Kuta and 202 innocent people were murdered, including many Aussies.

The event served to draw the average Australian into the "War on Terrorism" personally and helped galvanize Australian support of the US war on Iraq.

If the official 9/11 story is worthy of critical examination, why would the Bali bombing be any different?

This following movie was made recently by a young Australian film-maker. It makes the case that the nature and intensity of the bomb blast could not have been made from farm shed chemicals alone, but must have included military grade explosives in large quantities. The blast was so powerful, concrete was ripped off steel reinforcement and blew out windows kilometres away. A fertilizer bomb simply is not capable of such destruction. How did the bombers obtain such military technology? What did the CIA have to do with it? How was the event used by the government to usher in a swath of anti-terrorism legislation that expands the definition of a terrorist to such a degree that the general public can easily be ensnared without the regular due process of law. Remember Dr Haneef? He was branded a terror suspect because he gave his nephew a sim card.

Is the Howard government complicit? I personally don't think so, but it's likely a case of "Ask me no questions, I will tell you no lies". You make up your own mind. One thing I know, the CIA is a lawless, unaccountable organisation that is capable of the instigating the most appalling violence anywhere in the world to serve the political interests of the American Empire.

The movie is also a good education in the subject of "false flag" operations and how they are used to sway public opinion by instilling the public with fear. People are easily manipulated when they are scared. However, people are not easily manipulated when they are wary of being manipulated. Hence this blog.

The False Left/Right Paradigm

We think we have a real choice when we cast our vote at election time. We feel like we have a real power to determine our leadership. That's the point of democracy, isn't it? In fact, we believe democracy is so valuable, it's worth the lives of over a million Iraqis. They will have democracy, even if it kills them.

In our Australian experience over the last twenty years, we have voted mostly Labor or Liberal, but we know in reality that whoever we get, the result is not going to be all that different. It's like Holden or Ford at Mt Panorama.

The same goes for McCain and Obama. You might as well be choosing Macdonalds or KFC. That's really relevant to you if you really enjoy tucking into a Big Mac or a Bucket, but for most of us, it's all a fat fest. It's not a real choice at all. If this is really what's going on, it's then optimistic to think that Obama offers any real hope if he becomes the next president.

This following video from Alex Jones really explains how the whole false left/right paradigm works, using the US system as a model. However, the point is very relevant to us in Australia. I believe the elite who influence our major parties probably don't do so to the same degree as they do in America. Our politicians aren't as directly exposed to the huge military and industrial interests like the US politicians are. But we can certainly see the parallels. It's time for us to become a little less naive about the political charades that are presented to us in the guise of democratic choice.

Shock Doctrine

According to the Shock Doctrine proposed by Naomi Klein, the economic crisis the world is experiencing at the moment is designed to bring about structural change. Through deliberate crisis or natural disaster, people are more susceptable to change that, in normal circumstance, they would resist. So the question is, what are world governments trying to achieve through the current crisis? If the shock doctrine is correct, governments will take the opportunity to rush through legislation that will serve the elite and disaffect the people. Is it any wonder the Congress rejected the first bailout bill which said, in effect, "Give us all the money, trust us, we will fix the problem for you and by the way, we want to be unaccountable."

Importantly, Klein points out that the best defense against being shocked, is to be well informed about how this tactic works. If you know about Nigerian money scams you are not likely to fall for them when they arrive in the inbox.

Australian Control Grid Rollout

So you think just because you live in Australia we are immune from what's happening to America? How do you feel about traffic cameras being set up to photograph your family in your car and recording your travel movements and putting all that information into a data base?

http://www.australianit.news.com.au/story/0,24897,24387179-5013044,00.html

Who gave our government permission to do this? What do they intend to do with the information? I guess, what does it matter? Your mobile phone records all your personal movements. Your new GPS unit records your vehicular movements from satellites in space (GPS records in the UK are already being used to convict criminals). Your front yard has been put on Google Maps Street View, your backyard on Google Earth. Is this the Australia you remember from your childhood? It's all happened in the last 20 years.

A control grid of Orwellian proportions is being imposed upon us by stealth. You say "if you're not doing anything wrong, why would you be concerned?" If the apparatus is there to be used against the suspect, it can equally be misused against the innocent, if it suits the agenda of those in control.

So what should we do? I'll leave that for you to ponder. But bear in mind, one day, maybe sooner than you think, you may be forced to carry an implanted RFID chip that will be necessary to buy or sell anything. That sounds alot like the "mark of the beast" from Revelation, doesn't it? Thinking about where this could all be leading may help you know what you should do today whilst there is still an opportunity to do anything.
