Tarpley Resolution

9/11 TRUTH – THE KEY TO STOPPING WORLD WAR III

RESOLUTION SUBMITTED TO THE 911 CHICAGO TRUTH CONFERENCE, JUNE 2-4, 2006
SIX ACTION POINTS PASSED BY ACCLAMATION IN LAST PLENARY SESSION AT CHICAGO, JUNE 4
Under the Cheney doctrine and the Pentagon's Global Strike, US forces are now on the verge of a surprise attack, quite possibly in nuclear form, against Iran. As Philip Giraldi wrote last July, the Cheney doctrine prescribes that this attack will come in the wake of a new 9/11 or new Gulf of Tonkin incident. With the US and UK stalled at the UN by Russian and Chinese rejection of their plans for aggression, all indications are that such a new 9/11 is being actively prepared by rogue networks within the US intelligence community of CIA, NSA, DIA, NSC, Pentagon, and State Department, plus allied and privatized capabilities. The neocons, many of whom face early criminal indictment, are opting for a flight forward into war.

Peter Buknatski, Poetry

(We do the same things to the planet that we do to women, so what's all the fuss about?)

Global Warming

you're in a mood
now and of course
it is something
I've done

can we work this out?
can we just move on?

I will not change
nor make choices
I am only me

you will show
how you give
and I take

you will threaten
that our time
has run out

and hurl accusations

but I can bear that
it's what I do now
what I've learned

your love was safe

I never thought
we could come
to such a state

there was an eternity

but now you make
demands I cannot
comprehend

Talk to a Pilot

Talk to a Pilot.
Could the official 9/11 theory be true?
This new thread is for the purpose of soliciting facts and opinions from commercial pilots re the events of 9/11/01.
I am hoping that they will explain the SOP in the cockpit re hijackings, and how the official story differs from or conforms to reality.
Also, anyone in a position to know the SOP of the passenger ID system in effect on 9/11, and the likelihood of 19 Arabs successfully boarding the planes with fake IDs is welcome to comment. Since the official story is that they used fake IDs, then why is there no record of such people on the planes through the passenger lists or on camera? In other words, why is the number of passengers-accounted-for consistent with the number that boarded the plane? There is no accounting for the supposed terrorists.

Dealing with Peak Oil

Reaching the Peak

There is an emerging consensus now that we are either very close to or
have
passed the peak in world oil production. As someone who has been
involved in
environmental issues for 16 years, and permaculture for 13 years, I
have to
ask myself how I didn't see this one coming. Its implications are
profound.
No longer is it in any way an appropriate response to say ‘we need to

GLOBAL DEPRESSION 2006---?

Assets ain't assets; Taxes ain't taxes; The
speculative
motive; Blowing bubbles; The cause of recessions;
The
remedy; Self-funding infrastructure; The biggest

ASSETS AIN'T ASSETS

One cannot understand economic downturns -- let alone

Parallel: The March to the Gass Chambers

From Bill Brueckner: The rule of law, or else.
Time to get over your "ambivalence" folks. (JH)

These are clear violations of our rights to be secure in "the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity" that is personal authority to act without control by any other authority; "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects.... that shall not be violated" and the destruction of the United States of America. This is an illegal, unconstitutional, unjustified attack on the Amercian people. This is not simply applying the writ of habeas corpus for a limited time period, this is a conspiracy across the entire spectrum of government to implement a form of martial law and control of the American people.

Press Conference - Poem

Press Conference

I think you seem to
misunderstand what I'm
not really saying in
the context of history
rather than what is no
longer relevant or true.

There is more to look
at beyond what is
obviously supposed.
There is air and there
is emptiness. Shadows
move slowly, if at all.

When was the last time
all hope seceded?
I have no reports
contradicting the studies
made of them. Stones
that gave us signs
have been mislaid.

Should we panic those
already terrified? Can
we torture the sacrifice
on the altar of love?
I have no comment.
Light bothers my eyes
whenever I look.

Amerika

Aint it great to have those three patriotic Americans, Leahy, Jeffords and Sanders in our foxhole to fight for us.
If you've had enough, the Second Vermont Republic awaits. On the other hand, if you like this sort of thing "Go home from us in peace, we ask not your counsel nor your arms, crouch down and lick the hands which feed you, may your chains set lightly upon you . . ."

The pretense of politeness

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Be not intimidated... nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberties by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice.

-John Adams
