I suppose it was inevitable that the New World Order would
turn out to actually be the "New War-ld Order". And that George
Bush, Jr. would promote himself to be War-ld Leader. 2) I have read that the plane that struck the Pentagon
first flew toward/near/over the White House, before veering away and over
the Potomac to the Pentagon. The White House has defenses for PRECISELY
this type of event. Why were they not activated? Was the plane expected?
Or did it receive other, um, flight instructions en route? THINK. 3) The White House issued a statement saying that there
was "credible evidence" that the hijackers had access to secret
codes and information concerning the presidential jet, Air Force One, such
that George Bush, Jr. fled first to Louisiana and then to Nebraska, before
returning to Washington, DC at the end of the day. If this statement is
true, then that presupposes that this attack may have roots that extend
into the most secret levels of the Executive branch of the United States
government. Those codes are very closely held. I don't have them and neither
do you. Yet we have been led to believe by the Bush White House that the
hijackers somehow may have had them. How is this possible? Could the conspiracy
extend into the Federal Government itself? (It occurs to me that the White
House's assertion that the hijackers had access to TOP SECRET codes might
also be false, in order to make George Jr.'s day on the run appear less,
shall we say, cowardly, and more, er, presidential. If so that would then
call the truthfulness of other statements and pronouncements made that
same day into question. So -- we are ineluctably faced either with deceit
and lies by the White House, or with a conspiracy that may reach very deep
indeed into the United States government itself-- or maybe both!) THINK. 4) Are we looking at some kind of coup d'etat in progress?
Look at the two major targets that were hit: the nerve center of the American
military (The Pentagon) and the nerve center of the American economy (Lower
Manhattan). You know, in many other countries, if the national military
headquarters and major financial centers were massively bombed at the same
time it would be instantly understood that there was possibly a coup d'etat
underway, with rival factions within the military and the business elite
vying for control. But not in the USA. Nope. This is the land of the "lone-nut-conspiracy".
Where any complex matter, no matter how intricate and sophisticated it
may be gets reduced to "one lone nut". It usually takes only
a matter of hours. And, yep, sure enough: one lone nut. Osama bin Laden.
But not just any lone nut, this bin Laden character. No, he happens to
have had indirect (or were/are they direct?) ties to the CIA. Hmmm. Let's
seeÖ Lee Harvey Oswald also had ties to the CIA. You don't suppose
that could just be a coincidence, now do you? 5) One day when I was doing my graduate studies one of
my professors who worked for the CIA told me, "Earlier in my career,
I used to help overthrow governments." I am sure he told the truth.
This is what the CIA has been doing for decades. In Guatemala, Iran, ChileÖ
the list continues. You know how the old saying goes: "Practice makes
perfect." THINK. 6) Usually when a coup d'etat (or attempted coup d'etat)
occurs you will see certain kinds of actions take place. Daily life will
be disrupted. There will be troops and armored personnel carriers in the
Capital city immediately afterward. This happened in Washington, DC. There
will be a security crack-down with increased police surveillance and arbitrary
arrest and detention. Sure enough, just yesterday, I read that the FBI
has increased its surveillance of the internet, and that the U.S. Senate
has voted to increase federal telephone tapping authority. Also, the news
has been full of stories of people being arrested and detained here and
there around the country-- usually men of Middle Eastern, Muslim or Arab
ancestry or origin. (One is reminded somewhat of the scapegoating of Jews
in the Third Reich.) There will also be restrictions on free movement.
We also have seen this in the present confusion, with restrictions on air
travel and the searches and arrest of passengers on Amtrak. All of this
is done in the name of greater security and safety. But what if the foxes
are within the flock, and not without? What is occurring has a very strange
feel to it. THINK. 7) Everywhere I go I see flags. I read of a crowd of workers
at the World Trade Center spontaneously chanting "USA, USA, USA, USA"
in unison when Bush visited. And I thought: this Bush man will lead these
Unthinking American Sheeple to their uncomprehending deaths. And most astonishingly
of all: in their thousands they will go willingly, never understanding
how they are manipulated and led to the slaughter. 10) I am deeply troubled by the anti-Arab, anti-Muslim
hysteria of recent days. I have read of attacks against mosques and harassment
of Arabs and Muslims in the streets. Remember the NAZIs' Kristallnacht?
Where the German people went on a rampage against Jews and their synagogues
in the run-up to World War II? Must we behave like the NAZIs did? I would
suggest that such behavior is profoundly un-American. Let me say that over
the years I have known several Arabs and Muslims. They were my friends
and associates, and I liked them. I even studied Arabic for one year. I
submit that we need greater understanding of the Arabic and Muslim worlds
-- not less. Perhaps if we understood more, we would hate less. 11) Chickens coming home to roost. See Point 5 above.
The CIA and the Pentagon have violently intervened, directly and indirectly,
all over the world, time and time again. The aggregate civilian casualties
run to the MILLIONS. Here is just a partial list: Guatemala, Panama, Chile,
Colombia, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Haiti, Grenada, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos,
Cambodia, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Angola, Liberia, Serbia,
Kosovo Ö. and the list keeps on going and going. If America thought
it could just send in the Marines, send in the CIA-covert operations guys
and assassination teams and stomp on the peasantry here -- and there --
and everywhere -- and no one would ever strike back-- well, that simple-minded
delusion may have just ended with a very big bang in New York. 12) And would the CIA and others, like the ultra-rich
Bush family and its Big Oil cronies and World Bank friends, who want to
impose a fascist global order, play off violent factions in the Arab and
Muslim world against the civilian population in America in order to annihilate
the first, while further enslaving the second? DUH! -- Do yah think maybe? 13) Enslaving the population of America. In the headlines
recently: A) Increased telephone wire tapping by the FBI. B) Increased
surveillance of the internet and e-mail by the FBI's CARNIVORE program.
C) Prominent arrests and detentions of travelers on trains and planes--
some are released; others are held. Will you be next? Are you sure about
that? D) Politicians talking about giving up some of the freedoms we have
become used to in order to have greater security-- presumably things like
the 4th Amendment-- the right to be secure from police intrusion, harassment,
and surveillance within the sphere of our personal lives and homes? E)
Increased use of biometric identification by banks, airports and government
bureaucracies-- retina scans, palm print scans, digitized photo data banks
used by crowd-scanning cameras. F) Massive surveillance of global electronic
communications by the NSA's ECHELON program.
