Miscellaneous 2 REFLECTIONS ON FREEDOM “No man can put a chain about the ankle of his fellow man without at last finding the other end fastened about his own neck.” Frederick Douglass, speech, Civil Rights Mass Meeting, Washington, D.C., 1883 We the people, of the United States of America, would like to exercise our God given rights ensured and protected by the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and invoke the first amendment at this time. Freedom of speech, press; and the right to petition ensures us, the citizens of this great country, our right to be heard. In these strange times, when our fourth amendment rights are null and void because of something called a “Patriot Act”, President Bush has stated that preemptive war is a “path to peace”. Congress has given the executive branch the power to declare war, and yet our president claims he's not a dictator. In fact, President Bush believes “it would be much easier if (he) was.” It is clear that we have executive branch leadership bent on consolidating power. This has not changed with current president elect Obama, who believes in disarming America's citizens. It is time to start asking questions and demanding answers. You, our elected representatives, as congressmen Ron Paul stated, “have borrowed 10 billion dollars from the communist regime in China, you handed it over to Musharraf, who's a military dictator that overthrew an elected government”, and you expect us to trust you while you call us “kooks” for asking questions? The mainstream media has stated repeatedly that anyone questioning the government should be taken to “camps”, only to turn around and say there are no concentration camps, and anyone who says that there is, is crazy. So I ask, “Who are the crazy ones?” Are we seeing a pattern here? 3 Policing the world has ruined our foreign policy, infringed on our civil liberties, and left a gaping hole in our national security. We have killed over one million Iraqi civilians only to dishonor them by completely blacking out this fact on all the mainstream media outlets. The mainstream news will only report on the number of Iraqis killed once or twice, because they understand that sensational stories are more important “news” and vital to our national sovereignty. We believe that these statistics are unto themselves sensational and deserve media attention. However, media heads that spend billions of dollars to convince you that they are fair and balanced will attack anyone that questions the establishment. We believe in living in a free society. The shackles of oppression were unlocked once before with the Constitution. The keys to freedom were forged by our founding fathers to open the chains of tyranny and ensure future generations the gifts of peace and prosperity. As inforwarriors, we are champions of the Constitution. Protecting the Constitution, as she has protected us, we will rightly defend her against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic. We are not evil conspirators or enemy combatants. We are not domestic terrorists. We are concerned citizens with respect for history and have heeded our founding fathers warnings against tyrannical governments. This revolution, like the first American Revolution, will not be forgotten. We are the humble children of history rocking the cradle of liberty, watching over her, forever vigilant. May god bless us and guide us, giving us the strength and the wisdom to discern friend from foe, freedom from fascism. 4 THE INFOWARRIOR’S PATH TO SELF IMPROVEMENT “Aspire to be like Mt. Fuji, with such a broad and solid foundation that the strongest earthquake cannot move you, and so tall that the greatest enterprises of common men seem insignificant from your lofty perspective. With your mind as high as Mt Fuji you can see all things clearly. And you can see all the forces that shape events; not just the things happening near to you.” -Miyamoto Musashi UNDERSTANDING EMOTION Like any warrior, the infowarrior must train the mind to be able to see clearly the path that must be taken. To take that next step, the warrior must begin by recognizing his or her own weaknesses and strengths, so that those same attributes may be understood in other people. This knowledge of self transcends time, and was understood by ancient warriors and masterminds. Thus, we look into the past to better understand our future. Sun Tzu, one of history’s greatest military minds, lived approximately 2000 years ago and is regarded as one of the greatest strategists of all time. In his treatise on leadership and strategy called, the Ping Fa or the “Art of War“, he teaches us about the five human weaknesses he referred to as “the five fatal flaws.” The five fatal flaws include anger, giving in to fear, arrogance, concern over losing face, and being overly sympathetic. Each are common human emotions and defense mechanisms. Because they are so common, skilled leaders like Sun Tzu, learned to harness the power of these to the benefit of their followers and to the detriment of their enemies. 5 THE FIVE FATAL FLAWS EMOTION EXPLANATION Anger Being quick to anger opens the door to irrational behavior and hasty decisions Sun Tzu stated, “doubt is the beginning of defeat Giving in to Fear Being ego driven and prideful creates an atmosphere of overconfidence leading you to underestimate your enemy. Arrogance will also cause you to overestimate your capabilities. Arrogance Allows honor and reputation to control you. This is the product of fear and arrogance Concern Over Losing Face This will cause you to be indecisive and thus hesitant Being Overly Sympathetic The five fatal flaws are a universal understanding of what is also known as the five feelings or five emotions. You can also think of them as the dominating aspects of the personality. Each emotion is neither positive or negative unto itself. It is an expression of human energy that can be steered in either positive or negative directions. 6 THE FIVE FEELINGS EMOTION POSITIVE ASPECTS NEGATIVE ASPECTS Anger Justice, Righteous Rage Blind or Evil Rage Fear Vigilance Cowardice Sympathy Empathy, Love, Compassion Hesitation Laziness Rest, Recuperation, Patience Inaction, Procrastination (the crossroads between fear and Vanity) Vanity Focus, Confidence, Inner Vision Overconfidence, Lust, Greed Your emotional state can be with you or against you. The easy solution is to NEVER relinquish psychological control to others. If you are worried about what someone else thinks of what you said or how you said it, you doubt yourself. Doubt is the beginning of defeat. 7 When we let people push our emotional buttons we are giving them control over how we feel. The fact is that YOU choose how you think and feel. You decide to be happy, or sad, or angry, or envious, and these choices are always based on our distorted and biased interpretations of what we believe other people are thinking. If we think someone is critical of us we become worried (fear). If we think others are in favor of the ideas we have expressed we are excited and proud (vanity). If we believe someone begrudges us, we become enraged (anger). With the rest of the world determining how you feel, it becomes very difficult to complete the path to self improvement. Daniel Goldman, in Emotional Intelligence (1994) tells a story that encapsulates the way that your emotions dictate your reality. "A belligerent samurai, an old Japanese tale goes, once challenged a Zen master to explain the concept of heaven and hell. But the monk replied with scorn, "You're nothing but a lout-I can't waste my time with the likes of you!" His very honor attacked, the samurai flew into a rage and, pulling his sword from his scabbard, yelled," I could kill you for your impertinence!" "That," the monk calmly replied, "is hell. "Startled at seeing the truth in what the master pointed out about the fury that had him in his grip, the samurai calmed down, sheathed his sword, and bowed, thanking the monk for the insight. "And that," said the monk, "is heaven." The sudden awakening of the samurai to his own agitated state illustrates the crucial difference between being caught up in a feeling and becoming aware that you are being swept away by it. Socrates injunction "Know thyself" speaks to this keystone of emotional intelligence: awareness of one's own feelings as they occur. (pg.46) 8 IN SUMMARY The first step to becoming an effective infowarrior is knowledge of self. Learn to control your feelings and rid yourself of inappropriate emotional responses. So often there exists a substantial difference between what we want to feel and believe and what is real. People make the mistake of getting so caught up in what they want to see, that they blind themselves from what is really there. This reflects the ancient saying from eastern philosophy, “The unenlightened see only what they want to see.” 9 MENTAL FILTERS “If you would perfect your body, guard your mind.” James Allen (1864 - 1912) Here are some of the mental filters that “protect” the observer from what is really there: 1-Your eyes are not cameras that record everything you see. Not even close. Contrary to what you may believe, your eyes do not see at all. Your brain does. Your eyes take an image and "disassemble" that image into manageable data. That information is then passed into the brain in the form of electrical impulses, in an attempt to translate to the brain the images details (size, shape, color, association with "seemingly familiar images” etc.) Once the information gets to your brain, it is reassembled. During this complicated process the untrained "filtered mind" loses and distorts data. The opposite of this could be compared to Neo in the Matrix after he is shot and killed by Agent Smith. He is then "born again" into the true unfiltered reality or the “real world”. The fact of the matter is, your vision is flawed by its very nature. By understanding the information gathering process the eyes undergo, brings about an entirely new perspective consequently giving rise to a conscious awareness of what we see and exactly how we see it. 2- Beyond the information gathering process, consider physical defects in the senses, including imperfect vision, color blindness, impaired hearing etc. 3-Defects in the brain, mental illness, chemical imbalances, natural or self induced, actual brain damage from accident or injury. 10 4-Strong emotions can distort reality worse than physical defects. These are often the result of chemical imbalances and the undisciplined mind. 5-Socially imposed coercive methodologies, peer pressure, group think and religious and social taboos, including but not limited to: • • • • False ideals and trance logic Implanting false memories through suggestion and other means of manipulation Scientific mind control Manipulation and programming of defense mechanisms o Disassociation: “Disconnecting” from the real world and placing oneself in a more palatable version of reality. Your “happy place”. o Avoidance: Trying to change the subject from unpleasant thoughts to more pleasant ones. o False Rationalizations: Changing one’s thoughts and feelings as reality changes by creating false explanations about events. “I just tell myself <insert rationalization here>, and I feel better”. o Projection: placing responsibility for one’s thoughts and/or actions on another person. o Reaction formation: converting extreme positive or negative feelings into their opposite due to the inability to express those feelings as they are. Acting overly happy when you are very mad. o Repression: the blocking of unpleasant feelings or thoughts from a person’s mind. Burying memories. o Displacement: taking feelings or thoughts directed at one thing out on another. Beating your child because you are mad at the boss. o Sublimation: Acting on inappropriate impulses in more appropriate ways. Making light of a bad situation. Exercising in the place of excessive unwanted sexual behavior. o Compensation: Counterbalancing perceived weaknesses with perceived strengths in other areas of life. o Regression: Reverting to an earlier stage of development. Engaging in childlike behavior. o Denial: the refusal to accept reality by pretending that it does not exist. 11 Being overly optimistic by downplaying a problem and “looking at the bright side”, the opposite of this would be extreme pessimism, that is, “focusing on the negative” Keep in mind that defense mechanisms occur naturally in the human mind and are there to protect you. Some are more positive and some are more negative. Also, they can be manipulated by those who have the knowhow. Therefore you must understand yourself better than those who would seek to control you. Racism Religion taken out of context False reality constructs and false rationalizations (basically a fake world view with little basis in reality, “pop-culture bots” or the “Simon Says Crowd”) o • • • • The “single truth mind”: demonstrates the idea that most people focus on a part of the problem, and believe that it "is" the problem (narrow mindedness). They do not see the bigger picture. 6- Belief, essentially a creative mix of all mental filters. Belief is without a doubt the most powerful of all mental filters and mind control methods. Belief is EVERYTHING. The power of belief is precisely what constitutes reality for the individual and group. The sum product of all systems of control and mental filters is the power of belief and the time invested in those beliefs. 12 IN SUMMARY Reality is there for you to perceive it. If you make up your mind that you cannot perceive reality unfiltered, then you have just created your own reality. “Your reality” is a matter of perspective. The true reality is a matter of awareness and perception. There are three ways in which a person is seen, the way they see themselves, the way other people see them, and the way they really are! The same holds true with the world around you. There is the way you see it, others see it, and how it really is! 13 CONCLUSION The path to self improvement is a long hard journey. Like any journey, the hardest part is walking out the front door. Once you commit to the first step, the rest is easy, you're on your way. Now it is just a matter of patience and perseverance. You must discipline your self to monitor your thoughts and feelings ALL THE TIME. Physical training is easy (a couple hours per day), but mental training is tougher still (constant). To truly unlock the potential of that ten percent of your brain that so many of us do not use as effectively as we would like to, requires constant training and introspection. If you master the mind, you will also unlock the potential of the human spirit and receive the gift of teaching others. This is the last step in mastering what you have learned, imparting the knowledge onto another. If you can teach it, that means you know it. Remember, the unclouded mind is powerful. If you rid your mind of psychological hindrances and mental filters, you can do anything you want. Martial artists use the concept of “no mind”. This can be compared to an athlete that is “in the zone”. Time slows down, you get tunnel vision, and often your actions are executed flawlessly while the rest of the world refers to what just happened as a “great play”, “a great knockout” or a “riveting and powerful speech”. Bruce Lee said your training is meant to be forgotten. Do not get caught up thinking and over analyzing to much. Maintain your training and when the time for action arrives, have confidence in what you know, who you are, and meet reality head on! This is the way of the warrior. 14 PLANTING SEEDS AND PERSUASION "The skillful speaker gets at the outset, a number of "yes" responses. This sets the psychological process of the listeners moving in the affirmative direction" -Dale Carnegie, How to win friends and influence people “The key is always to tell the truth, and never promise something we cannot deliver. Once we have credibility, then we have an effective message that will win over propaganda and stories told by other factions.” -310th PSYOP Company, Bamian, Afghanistan. “Psychological Operations soldiers use persuasion to influence perceptions and encourage desired behavior. The cornerstone of PSYOP is truth, credibly presented to convince a given audience to cease resistance or take actions favorable to friendly forces.” -U. S. Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command Missions and Functions. PERSUASION The art of persuasion, like any art, begins with an inner vision, it begins with purpose. Our ultimate goal is to relate our message as effectively and efficiently to as many people as quick as possible. In order to do this, we must understand the art of persuasion and the techniques of the professional salesmen. 15 HOW TO RELATE AND PERSUADE 1-Use talking points (package your ideas) 2-Find common ground and relate to the persons interests (gas prices, taxes, ending the war, etc) 3-Ask the right questions (Use the Socratic Method to teach. Lead with questions. Keep the questions one sentence in length and as short as possible. Questions require answers and answers require people to think!) 4-Listen more to better communicate (skeptics who are misinformed will often talk themselves into circles, when they get “dizzy”, “straighten them out”) 5-Flex your personality muscles a bit! (be confident, be animated, and do not be afraid to crack a joke or two, poke fun of yourself, after all, “ A wise man mixes just a little folly with his wisdom”.) 6-Always, always use empathy 7-Use body language with open gestures. Express yourself. Be confident. Use head nods giving yes confirmations and animated facial expressions when appropriate. Remember that non-verbal communication is at least half of your message. The trick is to be upbeat and enthusiastic. This way, your body language will manifest naturally so it does not appear to be forced and over calculated. If you use it in combination with what you've learned so far, you should be in good shape. 16 WHAT NOT TO DO WHEN PERSUADING 1-Never attack the person. Attack the argument and help the other person to understand how he has been misinformed. Attack his position. (Most people just argue to prove themselves rather than a valid point.) 2-Do not become visibly angry. Concerned and dramatic will grab people’s attention faster than anger. 3-NEVER debate a topic you are not prepared to talk about. It will ruin your credibility and cast doubt on everything you have said. Just be honest and say, “I'll have to look into that”. At this point you should redirect the conversation and seek common ground. Summarize the facts you have already presented and move forward with your message. 17 PERSUASION SUMMARY Who drives the conversation and frames the debate? The person asking the questions! Respondents cannot very well advance their position if they are occupied by the need to address a barrage of oncoming inquiries. It is hard to persuade when you are surrounded by a series of tough questions. This is why I recommend the Socratic method of teaching/persuasion. Remember to package your ideas into talking points, save room for listening and harness the power of empathy. Finding common ground is often the best way to form a good dialog. Do not forget to listen. Use body language with open gestures and wield the power of confidence above all else. 18 SELLING AN IDEA “Everyone who was ever a guest of Theodore Roosevelt was astonished at the range and diversity of his knowledge. Whether his visitor was a cowboy or a Rough Rider, a New York politician or a diplomat, Roosevelt knew what to say. And how was it done? The answer was simple. Whenever Roosevelt expected a visitor, he sat up late the night before, reading up on the subject in which he knew his guest was particularly interested. For Roosevelt knew, as all leaders know, that the royal road to a person’s heart is to talk about the things he or she treasures most."(pg. 94) Dale Carnegie, How to win friends and influence people The techniques of the salesmen vary from person to person. Some use pressure sales tactics and manipulation to get people to impulsively buy something they don't really need. Even though they buy the product they often walk away feeling like they have been bullied into buying something. They feel as if they have been hustled. What we will focus on are the techniques of the “good guy” salesmen. A good salesman knows four things and they go as follows: 1-Product knowledge (Documentation, they are well researched and they are a river of information) 2-How to listen in order to qualify the customer 3-Practices empathy (Empathy is everything. If people feel you understand them and you show sympathy, they will be open to almost anything you say) 4-*Confidence (before, during, and after) 19 The same techniques apply to the infowarrior. Instead of selling a product, you are selling an idea. Product knowledge is the foundation of every good salesperson. Make sure you are well researched and provide documentation to back-up your claims. Letting the customer vent their ideas and frustrations allows them to do 80 percent of the talking. That is exactly what you want. So actively listen in order to further qualify and make sure you lead them with questions like you learned previously. For example, by actively listening you have learned that the person you are talking to is upset about gas prices, and they are against the Iraq war. Now ask them if they have ever heard of Halliburton. Ask them if they have ever heard of Ron Paul and his position regarding the war. Ask them if they have ever compared the voting records of the candidates to what they are telling us. Then tell them to compare Ron Paul's voting record to the other candidates. At this point, smile in silence! Let them respond. Bypassing any defense mechanisms that would otherwise hinder your message is the result of the proper use of empathy. Empathy allows you to gain the persons trust. This is the final step in selling someone an idea. Trust. Confidence is everything. It will not matter how much information you have acquired, how well you listen or how nice and empathetic you are if you lack confidence. Much of your confidence should come from knowing that you are telling the truth and doing the right thing. The rest will come with experience. Learning by doing his the best confidence builder. Take action!! 20 PLANTING SEEDS “On the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that on other days and other fields will bear the fruits of victory.” -General Douglas MacArthur “Every thought-seed sown or allowed to fall into the mind, and to take root there, produces its own, blossoming sooner or later into act, and bearing its own fruitage of opportunity and circumstance. Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thought bad fruit.” -James Allen, in his book As You Think “We are mere journeymen, planting seeds for someone else to harvest.” -Melvin Tolson As you spread the message of the infowarrior, know that not everyone who you speak to will concede your points right away. Remember, people in general have a vast array of defense mechanisms that hinder them from perceiving reality. You must have some varied communication approaches to interact with different kinds of people. 21 COMMUNICATION APPROACHES 1-Subtle approach (incrementally introduce them to the truth, cutting at the edges ploy) *Works well for family, friends and co-workers 2-Straight forward approach (Make sure you come across as genuine, maintain good eye contact, and repeat the phrase, "Don't believe me, look it up for yourself) *Works well for strangers “We are inclined to believe those whom we do not know because they have never deceived us” -Dr. Samuel Johnson 1709-1784 3-Beat them over the head with it! (Shock treatment! Give them all the gory details. They may not believe you now, but they'll never forget it.) *This is kind of a last resort when nothing else works! It also works well with people that are really open minded, eccentric, superstitious, or that have a taste for the drama. 22 CONCLUSION Planting seeds is what the infowar is all about. What we must come to realize is that not everyone is going to wake up right away to our message. Some seeds will grow into mighty oak trees over night. Some people need little convincing, while others need to weather the coming storm on their own before they blossom. Either way, the more seeds you plant, the better the harvest. The enemy’s tactics are to plant seeds of doubt. They sow the seeds of division and disinformation with scientific precision. We sow the seeds of unity and truth with equal precision. We plant the seeds of freedom in the garden of liberty, left unattended thus becoming a wasteland of over grown weeds and suffocating vines with a strangle hold on the remaining vegetation that bares little, if any fruit. A barren landscape of dry dirt and scorched earth is their vision for the future. This is what they would allow to come to fruition. If we want to take this country back, we have to tend to this “garden” of ours in a collaborated effort to plant as many seeds as we possibly can, as fast as we can. Many of these seeds will not grow until the quiet storm's torrential downpour has quenched their parched intellect. As the quiet storm approaches, they will remain blissfully ignorant. Sometimes the hard headed have to feel it, to believe it. Do not waste your time with these people. Plant the seed and move on. They will wake up when they literally have no other choice. Plant your seeds and be prepared to walk away without looking back. Never waste your time with any one seed. 23 INFOWARRIOR SUPPLIES "We don't plan to fail we just fail to plan" -Anonymous 1-DVD's: (End Game, Truth Rising, Terror Storm, Loose Change, bulk order America Freedom to Fascism $1.25 PER COPY!!!!) http://www.freedomtofascism.com/downloads/dvd.php) 2-Multi Stack DVD duplicator.

"Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of the day; but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers (administrators) too plainly proves a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing us to slavery." -Thomas Jefferson 1947 National Security Act Allows for limited congressional oversight regarding the activity's of the U.S Intelligence Agency's. The National Security Act passed in 1947, allows US Intelligence to begin any action, at any time, without asking anybody. In addition, US Intelligence may postpone indefinitely any report of such activity simply by claiming that making the report would harm the "national security" of the United States. This is a recipe for absolute power. It follows that the National Security Act of 1947 gave US Intelligence the power -- if not the explicit authority -- to corrupt the press in secret. This article will argue, and document, that this is precisely what US Intelligence has done. Naturally, this raises the sharpest possible questions about the integrity of US democracy. http://intelligence.house.gov/Media/PDFS/NSA47PUBLIC.pdf 26 US Military Intelligence Report http://www.army.mil/usapa/epubs/pdf/r381_10.pdf Garden Plot http://www.uscg.mil/directives/cim/30003999/CIM_3010_14.pdf Presidential Directive 51 Gives the executive complete control over all branches of government with large sections of the bill so classified not even congress can read it. Presidential Directive 51 (Original Document, gov. website) http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/05/2007050912.html 27 Analysis of Presidential Directive 51 http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/may2007/230507martiall aw.htm Presidential Directive 51 By Jerome R. Corsi © 2008 President Bush, without so much as issuing a press statement, on May 9 signed a directive that granted near dictatorial powers to the office of the president in the event of a national emergency declared by the president. The "National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive," with the dual designation of NSPD-51, as a National Security Presidential Directive, and HSPD-20, as a Homeland Security Presidential Directive, establishes under the office of president a new National Continuity Coordinator. That job, as the document describes, is to make plans for "National Essential Functions" of all federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal governments, as well as private sector organizations to continue functioning under the president's directives in the event of a national emergency. The directive loosely defines "catastrophic emergency" as "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions." When the president determines a catastrophic emergency has occurred, the president can take over all government functions and direct all private sector activities to ensure we will emerge from the emergency with an "enduring constitutional government." 28 Translated into layman's terms, when the president determines a national emergency has occurred, the president can declare to the office of the presidency powers usually assumed by dictators to direct any and all government and business activities until the emergency is declared over. Ironically, the directive sees no contradiction in the assumption of dictatorial powers by the president with the goal of maintaining constitutional continuity through an emergency. The directive specifies that the assistant to the president for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism will be designated as the National Continuity Coordinator. Further established is a Continuity Policy Coordination Committee, chaired by a senior director from the Homeland Security Council staff, designated by the National Continuity Coordinator, to be "the main day-to-day forum for such policy coordination." Currently, the assistant to the president for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism is Frances Fragos Townsend. Townsend spent 13 years at the Justice Department before moving to the U.S. Coast Guard where she served as assistant commandant for intelligence. She is a White House staff member in the executive office of the president who also chairs the Homeland Security Council, which as a counterpart to the National Security Council reports directly to the president. The directive issued May 9 makes no attempt to reconcile the powers created there for the National Continuity Coordinator with the National Emergency Act. As specified by U.S. Code Title 50, Chapter 34, Subchapter II, Section 1621, the National Emergency Act allows that the president may declare a national emergency but requires that such proclamation "shall immediately be transmitted to the Congress and published in the Federal Register." 29 A Congressional Research Service study notes that under the National Emergency Act, the president "may seize property, organize and control the means of production, seize commodities, assign military forces abroad, institute martial law, seize and control all transportation and communication, regulate the operation of private enterprise, restrict travel, and, in a variety of ways, control the lives of United States citizens." The CRS study notes that the National Emergency Act sets up congress as a balance empowered to "modify, rescind, or render dormant such delegated emergency authority," if Congress believes the president has acted inappropriately. NSPD-51/ HSPD-20 appears to supersede the National Emergency Act by creating the new position of National Continuity Coordinator without any specific act of Congress authorizing the position. NSPD-51/ HSPD-20 also makes no reference whatsoever to Congress. The language of the May 9 directive appears to negate any a requirement that the president submit to Congress a determination that a national emergency exists, suggesting instead that the powers of the executive order can be implemented without any congressional approval or oversight. Homeland Security spokesperson Russ Knocke affirmed that the Homeland Security Department will be implementing the requirements of NSPD-51/ HSPD-20 under Townsend's direction. (The White House had no comment.) 30 Operation Northwoods Proof of the United States governments plans for “false flag” terror operations http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20010430/northwoods.pdf ABC Northwoods story http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=92662&page=1 31 War Powers Act On November 19, 1973, the Special Committee on the Termination of the National Emergency presented Senate Report 93-549 at the first session of the 93rd Congress. The Introduction to the report, an examination of existing War and Emergency Powers Acts, states: "Since March 9, 1933, the United States has been in a state of declared national emergency. In fact, there are now in effect four presidentially-proclaimed states of national emergency: In addition to the national emergency declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933, there are also the national emergency proclaimed by President Harry S. Truman on December 16, 1950, during the Korean conflict, and the states of national emergency declared by President Richard M. Nixon on March 23, 1970, and August 15, 1971."[1] "These proclamations give force to 470 provisions of Federal law. These hundreds of statutes delegate to the President extraordinary powers, ordinarily exercised by the Congress, which affect the lives of American citizens in a host of all-encompassing manners. This vast range of powers, taken together, confer enough authority to rule the country without reference to normal Constitutional processes."[2] "Under the powers delegated by these statutes, the President may: seize property; organize and control the means of production; seize commodities; assign military forces abroad; institute martial law; seize and control all transportation and communication; regulate the operation of private enterprise; restrict travel; and, in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all American citizens." http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=War_Powers_Act 32 Army Civilian Labor Program- Forced labor camps designed to detain civilians.

The law also facilitates militarized police round-ups and detention of protesters, so called "illegal aliens," "potential terrorists" and other "undesirables" for detention in facilities currently under construction by Halliburton.” -Lisbeth Cheever-Gessaman, BellaOnline's Human Rights Editor 33 The John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2006. On October 17th, 2006, with one fell swoop of the pen, President Bush quietly signed into law the "John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007" (H.R.5122) (2), effectively positioning the US Government full and complete autonomy at a Federal Level regardless and irrespective of local authority. This act is [b]not[b] the same legislation as the previously featured Military Commissions Act, but was made official that same day. This act officially allows the President to override all state and local authority and station troops anywhere in America as well as relinquishes the National Guard of control without the consent of the Governor or local authorities in order to "suppress public disorder". The law also facilitates militarized police round-ups and detention of protesters, so called "illegal aliens," "potential terrorists" and other "undesirables" for detention in facilities currently under construction by Halliburton. Previously, the Insurrection Act (10 U.S.C.331 -335), designed to protect the citizens of the United States against unfair martial law by enforcing strict prohibitions on military involvement in domestic law enforcement along with the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 were two laws which specifically served to protect the American people against undue diligence or governmental power. The Posse Comitatus Act prohibited Federal military personnel under Federal authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States, except where expressly authorized by the Congress, a right which our ancestors felt was inherently important - important enough to enact an entire act around this. Together, these two acts served to substantially limit the powers of the Federal government's use of military for law enforcement. What allowed this to happen? The Homeland Security Act, Title 6 Chapter 1 Subchapter VIII, Part H, Sec, 466 began to tear away the foundations of this act specifically: 34 1. Section 1385 of title 18 (commonly known as the Posse Comitatus Act) prohibits the use of the Armed Forces as a Posse comitatus to execute the laws except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the constitution or Act of Congress. 2. Enacted in 1878, the Posse Comitatus Act was expressly intended to prevent United States Marshals, on their own initiative, from calling on the Army for assistance in enforcing Federal law. 3. Some believe the Posse Comitatus Act has served the Nation well in limiting the use of the Armed Forces to enforce the law. Whether this is a good thing or not is subject to debate. 4. The Posse Comitatus Act was not intended to be a complete barrier to the use of the Armed Forces for a range of domestic purposes, including law enforcement functions, when the use of the Armed Forces is authorized by Act of Congress or the President determines that the use of the Armed Forces is required to fulfill the President's obligations under the Constitution provide for the common defense or to respond promptly to insurrection, or other serious emergency. 5. Existing laws, including Title 10, Chapter 15 (commonly known as The Insurrection Act, and The Robert T.Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, grant the President broad powers that may be invoked in the event of domestic emergencies, including an attack against the Nation using weapons of mass destruction, and these laws specifically authorize the President to use the Armed Forces to help restore public order. 6. The Posse Comitatus Act could be replaced, nullified or modified by a simple act of Congress. 35 With a key nod to the 6th point, and with no further acts of terrorism which made it a necessity to change it, changed it was. Only one representative, Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont), verbally contested this act, noting that 2007's Defense Authorization Act contained a "widely opposed provision to allow the President more control over the National Guard [adopting] changes to the Insurrection Act, which will make it easier for this or any future President to use the military to restore domestic order without the consent of the nation's governors." Senator Leahy went on record as saying, "We certainly do not need to make it easier for Presidents to declare martial law. Invoking the Insurrection Act and using the military for law enforcement activities goes against some of the central tenets of our democracy. One can easily envision governors and mayors in charge of an emergency having to constantly look over their shoulders while someone who has never visited their communities gives the orders." It's a scary prospect. And while we all like to hope that the Government only has our own best interests at this act effectively sets up shop for the Federal Government to come into any town USA and take over, no questions asked, for whatever reason they see fit.

You cannot build truth in the minds of your compatriots without the proper tools, much like the carpenter cannot build houses without his hammer; a soldier cannot defend his nation without his rifle. This list of tools is meant to outline for the infowarrior effective ways to spread our message. Their purpose is to allow you to organize, network, arm yourself with facts, and communicate them in a clear and concise way. Just like any other tools, they are most effective in the hands of a skilled practitioner. The only way to learn is to make attempts with the expectation of a couple failures. With practice and determination, you will find the method that works best for you. Be creative with your methods and accurate with your facts. Remember, the infowar is as much about expressing your passion and love for your country to others as it is about saving your country. Get informed, get out there, and spread the word! 38 ACCESS TELEVISION INSTRUCTIONS (STEP BY STEP GUIDE FOR GETTING ON PUBLIC ACCESS) “If you came and you found a strange man... teaching your kids to punch each other, or trying to sell them all kinds of products, you'd kick him right out of the house, but here you are; you come in and the TV is on, and you don't think twice about it.” ~Jerome Singer “Television: chewing gum for the eyes.” ~Frank Lloyd Wright 1-Google search; your 'city' 'state' public access television 2-Start contacting the public access television stations in every city/town in your county to develop a rapport. Do not say anything about the documentary (for example: America Freedom to Fascism) the first couple times you talk to them. Your just calling to ask questions about getting on public access TV. 3-Contact the different Ron Paul meet up groups and they will assist you (they can't ignore 50 people). Contact your access provider to set up an interview. The film has to be approved by the production manager. If they turn you down, flood their e-mails, overload the phones, protest if you have to. 4-Now its just a test of stamina. You may hear 100 no's before you get a yes. Wear them out, work them over. That is the key. 39 CONCLUSION DVD's are the most effective way of waking the masses. For every time your public access provider airs End Game or Truth Rising, you will have between 20-30 viewers conservatively in any average size suburb. At least 50 viewers in any average size city. 40 HOW TO INVESTIGATE PUBLIC OFFICIALS AND CONFRONT THEM THROUGH EFFECTIVE ACTIVISM “No army can stop an idea whose time has come” -Victor Hugo Use the following link to obtain information on how to actively confront public officials about the truth. The video is called 911 Chronicles: Truth Rising. http://www.thelasersshadow.com/911%20Chronicles%20FLVideo.h tml 41 9/11 FACTS "All the world 's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts" – Shakespeare, As You Like It, Act II, Scene VII WeAreChange link: http://www.wearechange.org/geteducated/ Architects and Engineers for 911 truth http://www.ae911truth.org/ 911truth.dk http://www.911truth.dk/first/en/kp_towers.htm 42 911 questions and answers 1. FEMA’s executive summary stated that most of the jets’ 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. fuel (jet grade kerosene) was burned up on impact. The question is, how could the remaining jet fuel weaken the structural steel if most of it was burned up on impact? FEMA stated that the towers collapsed due to the weakening of the steel from the isolated pockets of fire and the structural damage from the planes impacting. Yet there was molten metal pouring from the buildings and found days later at ground zero. What caused the molten metal? Firemen admitting to seeing molten metal at ground zero. http://youtube.com/watch?v=D9qEIlNVl5s Jet Fuel is approx. 4/5 Kerosene. Jet fuel is a hydro carbon which burns at a maximum temperature of 1796 °F. This is known as a controlled burn. A controlled burn is a combination of air and fuel, (example: your gas stove, your car engine,) you can use your stove all day long and the steel will not melt or weaken. Neither will your pots and pans. Kerosene heaters- many are run on jet grade kerosenejet grade kerosene is a hydro-carbon slightly heavier than gasoline-the heater is made of steel and can operate all day and night-the heater will never weaken or melt 7. Steel melts at 2750°F. Steel is melted in a controlled environment called a blast furnace. Oxygen is pumped into a closed space creating liquid metal. There is no way jet fuel could have burned hot enough to create molten metal. Kerosene’s maximum temperature is 1796 °F. Nowhere near hot enough to melt steel. 8. Military grade explosives such as thermate can also melt steel for the purpose of cutting the steel columns of a building. Photos from ground zero showed that the main support beams had been cut in precisely this manner. They were cut the same way you would cut the support beams of any structure for the purpose of controlled demolition using this method. 43 9. When a building collapses due to the structural damage from a fire, they topple over at the point of the damage. The entire building does not fall into it's own finger print like a controlled demolition. This is what we saw on 911. Three times. 10. USGS satellite images showing 1300+ degree hot spots at the site six days later are one of the more convincing pieces of evidence in regards to the discussion of molten metal at the site resulting "supposedly" from fires that NIST says got no hotter than 700 degrees or so. 11. The history of Popular Mechanics completely reforming their editorial board and stuffing it with neo-cons just prior to their hit pieces attacking 911 Truth is great for debunking their objectivity and credibility. 12. The contradictions: “I don't think anyone could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the world trade center.” Condoleezza Rice “There were lots of warnings” Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld “No warnings” -Former press secretary Ari Fleischer President Bush made similar contradictory statements. 44 August 1997, On the cover of FEMA's emergency response manual to terrorism depicts the world trade center in cross hairs at almost precisely the same location the planes impacted. 14. 1999, NORAD begins conducting exercises in which hijacked airliners are flown into the World Trade Center and Pentagon. 15. 2000, The department of Justice releases their terrorism manual depicting the Trade Center Towers in cross hairs at approximately the same location as the planes impact. 16. September 2000, The project for a new American Century, members include Dick Cheney, Dan Quayle, Jed Bush, Paul Wolfowitz, and Donald Rumsfeld, released a report entitled, Rebuilding Americas Defenses. Here is a quote of significance from this document, “Further, the process of transformation, even if it means revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event- like a new Pearl Harbor”. 13. http://thelasersshadow.com/RebuildingAmericasDefenses.pdf October 2000, The Pentagon conducts the first of 17. two training exercises simulating a Boeing 757 crashing into the building. The same pilot who's plane allegedly crashed into the Pentagon, was a former F4 Navy pilot who worked in the Pentagon for 17 years, whom had participated in a earlier version of the this exercise in 1989. 2001, Attorney General John Ashcroft begins flying 18. on charter jets for the remainder of his term due to a threat assessment by the FBI. 9/6/01, 3150 put options are placed on United 19. Airlines stock. A 'put option' is a bet that a stock will fall. Put options were more than four times their daily average on 9/6/01. 20. 9/6/01, bomb sniffing dogs were pulled from the World Trade Center. 21. 9/7/01, 27,294 put options were placed on Boeings stock more than five times its daily average. 22. 9/10/01, 4,516 put optiona are placed on American Airlines stock, nearly 11 times its daily average. 45 Newsweek reported that a number of top pentagon officials canceled their flight plans for the next morning. 24. San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown received a phone call warning him not to fly the next morning. 25. A quote from Bush's 911 speech, “Good evening, today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack.” Our very freedom came under attack? I wonder what he meant by that? Is it possible he is referring to the attack on our civil liberties that would take place after 911? Warrantless searches and wire taps. Free speech zones. All in violation of the 1st and 4th amendment. 23. *Information taken from: Loose Change, 911 Mystery's, Rebuilding Americas Defenses PDF, N.I.S.T's official 911 report, FEMA's 911 executive summary, USGA Satellite images, The 911 Commission, Popular Mechanics 46 9/11 FACT SHEET Answers to Frequently Asked Questions 1. Don't all the high-level officials agree on what happened on 9/11? No. Numerous present and former high-level military leaders and politicians have questioned the administration's version of 9/11. 2. Isn't 9/11 a partisan political issue, where extremists in one party are simply trying to smear the other party for political gain? No, credible people from across the political spectrum question 9/11, including prominent conservatives, prominent liberals, and prominent centrists. 3. Isn't it disrespectful to the victims of 9/11 and their families to question the events of that day? No. Many of the families of the victims question the official story and are demanding that the truth be disclosed. The same is true of many dying heroes - the first responders who worked tirelessly to save lives on and after 9/11 - and are soon to become victims of the 9/11 attacks themselves. See this article. 47 4. Isn't it clear that Muslims carried out 9/11, and the war on terror is a clash of civilizations and religions? Therefore, isn't 9/11 skepticism harmful to our faith? And aren't the people questioning 9/11 anti-Semites? Actually, 9/11 truth is a vital issue for all people of faith. That is why prominent Christian theologians state that 9/11 was an inside job. Moreover, many people of Jewish faith question 9/11. Indeed, prominent Jewish scholars and rabbis say that uncovering the truth of 9/11 has the power to bring positive, lasting change to our nation and to our world. 5. Isn't this kind of thinking really a psychological problem? Not at all. Some very prominent psychologists question the government's version of 9/11. 6. Aren't conspiracy theories anti-American, and isn't all the questioning of 9/11 part of what's wrong with America today? Questioning our government is part of what it means to be a patriot and to love your country. People who question 9/11 are patriots who love their country. 7. Doesn't questioning 9/11 distract from much more important issues facing America today? On the contrary, it is one of the very most important issues facing our country, and is closely connected with other problems we face. 48 8. But the government would NEVER hurt its own people. At least not intentionally. Actually, the U.S. government -- and many other Western governments -- have done so before. Initially, the Joint Chiefs of Staff actually approved a plan to carry out terrorist attacks and kill U.S. citizens and blame it on Cuba, as a justification for invading Cuba. And a government informant has stated that he tried to stop the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, but that the FBI intentionally let the bombing happen . There are many other examples of other governments killing their own people for political gain, and the U.S. government killing its own as well. As additional examples of the U.S. government letting U.S. citizens die based upon deceptions, many people breathed in highly toxic dust near ground zero, after the government knowingly misrepresented the risk, going as far as discouraging first responders from wearing masks. The U.S. government also misled the American people into the Iraqi war, causing thousands of American deaths. 9. Terrorists crashing planes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon was wholly unexpected in 2001, wasn't it? No, it was not unexpected. 10. But there is always confusion in any battle situation. Wasn't it the "fog of war" which prevented a successful response to the 9/11 attacks? It was not the fog of war. Instead, it was the multiple war games, including hijack exercises involving real planes, and the injection of fake radar blips onto air traffic controller's screens which prevented the good people in the military from stopping the attacks from succeeding against their targets in New York and at the Pentagon. The dedicated people in the U.S. military were tricked and betrayed, so that they could not do their job. 49 11. Wouldn't a huge conspiracy involving thousands of people have been necessary to carry out 9/11, and wouldn't someone have spilled the beans by now if there really was a conspiracy? Not necessarily. In fact, a small handful of people could have pulled it off. 12. Let's get back to the government's failure to stop or intercept the attacks. If the U.S. government wasn't perfect in stopping the 9/11 attacks, wasn't it due to a series of innocent mistakes or -- at the very worst -incompetence? Initially, the incompetence argument doesn't really pan out, and appearances may be deceiving. And there are many examples of the U.S. faking intelligence in order to promote its political goals. Moreover, the government has not acted like it is trying to close vulnerabilities or fix problems which supposedly were unforeseeable before 9/11. Why wouldn't such vulnerabilities be corrected if they were the real cause of 9/11? And there has been a clear government cover-up of the facts surrounding 9/11. Why would the government work so hard to cover up the true facts of 9/11, going so far as to repeatedly misrepresent the facts and change its story, if incompetence was the only problem with the official story? And, apparently, fake evidence was planted to implicate certain people for 9/11. Why would fake evidence be needed if the official story was true? Do innocent people plant fake evidence? 50 13. Didn't a government agency come clean about its mistaken timeline, solving the whole 9/11 "conspiracy" once and for all? Norad's newest "confession" is just the latest of multiple, completely conflicting versions of what happened on 9/11 (also listen to this interview). Moreover, the latest statements by the military simply attempt to scapegoat one government agency, since the previous attempts to blame other agencies made no sense. 14. Isn't talk about "demolition" of the Twin Towers just a crazy theory by a couple of nutty people? In fact, a lot of credible eyewitness testimony supports this theory, and more and more credible experts are discussing this theory every day. 15. But no one could have planted all of the explosives needed to bring down the Twin Towers without people noticing, right? No, that is not true. 16. If rogue elements within the U.S. government did cause 9/11, why would they have used bombs to bring down the Twin Towers, when crashing planes into the buildings would have been sufficient to act as a "Pearl Harbor" type justification for war? Apparently, for its shock and awe effect, which made for a very overwhelmed, afraid, and thus docile and compliant population. 51 17. If the government's account of 9/11 is not accurate, wouldn't the media have been "all over it"? Isn't the fact that most mainstream media sources don't spend much time covering these questions show there's nothing there? No. Even well-known news anchors and writers say that selfcensorship, censorship by editors and producers, and pressure from the government means that many important stories are not being covered. 9/11 is one of those stories. 18. I've heard claims made by the so-called "9/11 Truth Movement" which have turned out to be false. Doesn't that invalidate the whole 9/11 thing? No, for two reasons. First, there are so many lines of evidence which overwhelmingly prove that 9/11 was an inside job, that even if one or two theories are disproven, the basic thesis still stands. Moreover, there are some people who are simply sloppy in their thinking, and who throw out unfounded theories which do not stand up under scrutiny. In addition, there are, unfortunately, disruptive people who are working hard to make crazy claims to intentionally discredit the movement. This is a traditional tactic for undermining those who question the government. Updated April 4, 2007 • Design by Kurt Nimmo 52 911Truth.org THE TOP 40 REASONS TO DOUBT THE OFFICIAL STORY OF SEPTEMBER 11th, 2001 http://www.911truth.org/ ... An outline in simple talking points ... If you use the search function with title key words, you will discover that 911Truth.org is home to articles backing virtually every point made below. Much of the basic research is available at the Complete 9/11 Timeline (hosted by cooperativeresearch.org), the 9/11 Reading Room (911readingroom.org), and the NY Attorney General Spitzer petition and complaint (Justicefor911.org). For physical evidence discussion, see Point 7. THE DAY ITSELF - EVIDENCE OF COMPLICITY 1) AWOL Chain of Command a. It is well documented that the officials topping the chain of command for response to a domestic attack - George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Myers, Montague Winfield - all found reason to do something else during the actual attacks, other than assuming their duties as decisionmakers. b. Who was actually in charge? Dick Cheney, Richard Clarke, Norman Mineta and the 9/11 Commission directly conflict in their accounts of top-level response to the unfolding events, such that several (or all) of them must be lying. 53 2) Air Defense Failures a. The US air defense system failed to follow standard procedures for responding to diverted passenger flights. b. Timelines: The various responsible agencies - NORAD, FAA, Pentagon, USAF, as well as the 9/11 Commission - gave radically different explanations for the failure (in some cases upheld for years), such that several officials must have lied; but none were held accountable. c. Was there an air defense standdown? 3) Pentagon Strike How was it possible the Pentagon was hit 1 hour and 20 minutes after the attacks began? Why was there no response from Andrews Air Force Base, just 10 miles away and home to Air National Guard units charged with defending the skies above the nation''s capital? How did Hani Hanjour, a man who failed as a Cessna pilot on his first flight in a Boeing, execute a difficult aerobatic maneuver to strike the Pentagon? Why did the attack strike the just-renovated side, which was largely empty and opposite from the high command? 4) Wargames a. US military and other authorities planned or actually rehearsed defensive response to all elements of the 9/11 scenario during the year prior to the attack - including multiple hijackings, suicide crashbombings, and a strike on the Pentagon. b. The multiple military wargames planned long in advance and held on the morning of September 11th included scenarios of a domestic air crisis, a plane crashing into a government building, and a large-scale emergency in New York. If this was only an incredible series of coincidences, why did the official investigations avoid the issue? There is evidence that the wargames created confusion as to whether the unfolding events were "real world or exercise." Did wargames serve as the cover for air defense sabotage, and/or the execution of an "inside job"? 54 5) Flight 93 Did the Shanksville crash occur at 10:06 (according to a seismic report) or 10:03 (according to the 9/11 Commission)? Does the Commission wish to hide what happened in the last three minutes of the flight, and if so, why? Was Flight 93 shot down, as indicated by the scattering of debris over a trail of several miles? THE DAY - POSSIBLE SMOKING GUNS 6)Did cell phones work at 30,000 feet in 2001? How many hijackings were attempted? How many flights were diverted? 7) Demolition Hypothesis What caused the collapse of a third skyscraper, WTC 7, which was not hit by a plane? Were the Twin Towers and WTC 7 brought down by explosives? (See "The Case for Demolitions," the websites wtc7.net and 911research.wtc7.net, and the influential article by physicist Steven Jones. See also items no. 16 and 24, below.) 55 FOREKNOWLEDGE & THE ALLEGED HIJACKERS 8) What did officials know? How did they know it? a. Multiple allied foreign agencies informed the US government of a coming attack in detail, including the manner and likely targets of the attack, the name of the operation (the "Big Wedding"), and the names of certain men later identified as being among the perpetrators. b. Various individuals came into possession of specific advance knowledge, and some of them tried to warn the US prior to September 11th. c. Certain prominent persons received warnings not to fly on the week or on the day of September 11th. 9) Able Danger, Plus - Surveillance of Alleged Hijackers a. The men identified as the 9/11 ringleaders were under surveillance for years beforehand, on the suspicion they were terrorists, by a variety of US and allied authorities - including the CIA, the US military''s "Able Danger" program, the German authorities, Israeli intelligence and others. b. Two of the alleged ringleaders who were known to be under surveillance by the CIA also lived with an FBI asset in San Diego, but this is supposed to be yet another coincidence. 10) Obstruction of FBI Investigations prior to 9/11 A group of FBI officials in New York systematically suppressed field investigations of potential terrorists that might have uncovered the alleged hijackers - as the Moussaoui case once again showed. The stories of Sibel Edmonds, Robert Wright, Coleen Rowley and Harry Samit, the "Phoenix Memo," David Schippers, the 199i orders restricting investigations, the Bush administration''s order to back off the Bin Ladin family, the reaction to the "Bojinka" plot, and John O''Neil do not, when considered in sum, indicate mere incompetence, but high-level corruption and protection of criminal networks, including the network of the alleged 9/11 conspirators. (Nearly all of these examples were omitted from or relegated to fleeting footnotes in The 9/11 Commission Report.) 56 11) Insider Trading a. Unknown speculators allegedly used foreknowledge of the Sept. 11th events to profiteer on many markets internationally - including but not limited to "put options" placed to short-sell the two airlines, WTC tenants, and WTC re-insurance companies in Chicago and London. b. In addition, suspicious monetary transactions worth hundreds of millions were conducted through offices at the Twin Towers during the actual attacks. c. Initial reports on these trades were suppressed and forgotten, and only years later did the 9/11 Commission and SEC provide a partial, but untenable explanation for only a small number of transactions (covering only the airline put options through the Chicago Board of Exchange). 12) Who were the perpetrators? a. Much of the evidence establishing who did the crime is dubious and miraculous: bags full of incriminating material that happened to miss the flight or were left in a van; the "magic passport" of an alleged hijacker, found at Ground Zero; documents found at motels where the alleged perpetrators had stayed days and weeks before 9/11. b. The identities of the alleged hijackers remain unresolved, there are contradictions in official accounts of their actions and travels, and there is evidence several of them had "doubles," all of which is omitted from official investigations. c. What happened to initial claims by the government that 50 people involved in the attacks had been identified, including the 19 alleged hijackers, with 10 still at large (suggesting that 20 had been apprehended)? http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/snsworldtrade-50suspects,0,1825231.story 57 THE 9/11 COVER-UP, 2001-2006 13) Who Is Osama Bin Ladin? a. Who judges which of the many conflicting and dubious statements and videos attributed to Osama Bin Ladin are genuine, and which are fake? The most important Osama Bin Ladin video (Nov. 2001), in which he supposedly confesses to masterminding 9/11, appears to be a fake. In any event, the State Department''s translation of it is fraudulent. b. Did Osama Bin Ladin visit Dubai and meet a CIA agent in July 2001 (Le Figaro)? Was he receiving dialysis in a Pakistani military hospital on the night of September 10, 2001 (CBS)? c. Whether by Bush or Clinton: Why is Osama always allowed to escape? d. The terror network associated with Osama, known as the "data base" (al-Qaeda), originated in the CIA-sponsored 1980s anti-Soviet jihad in Afghanistan. When did this network stop serving as an asset to covert operations by US intelligence and allied agencies? What were its operatives doing in Kosovo, Bosnia and Chechnya in the years prior to 9/11? 14) All the Signs of a Systematic 9/11 Cover-up a. Airplane black boxes were found at Ground Zero, according to two first responders and an unnamed NTSB official, but they were "disappeared" and their existence is denied in The 9/11 Commission Report. b. US officials consistently suppressed and destroyed evidence (like the tapes recorded by air traffic controllers who handled the New York flights). c. Whistleblowers (like Sibel Edmonds and Anthony Shaffer) were intimidated, gagged and sanctioned, sending a clear signal to others who might be thinking about speaking out. d. Officials who "failed" (like Myers and Eberhard, as well as Frasca, Maltbie and Bowman of the FBI) were given promotions. 58 15) Poisoning New York The White House deliberately pressured the EPA into giving false public assurances that the toxic air at Ground Zero was safe to breathe. This knowingly contributed to an asyet unknown number of health cases and fatalities, and demonstrates that the administration does consider the lives of American citizens to be expendable on behalf of certain interests. 16) Disposing of the Crime Scene The rapid and illegal scrapping of the WTC ruins at Ground Zero disposed of almost all of the structural steel indispensable to any investigation of the collapse mechanics. (See also item no. 23, below.) 17) Anthrax Mailings of weapons-grade anthrax - which caused a practical suspension of the 9/11 investigations - were traced back to US military stock. Soon after the attacks began in October 2001, the FBI approved the destruction of the original samples of the Ames strain, disposing of perhaps the most important evidence in identifying the source of the pathogens used in the mailings. Were the anthrax attacks timed to coincide with the Afghanistan invasion? Why were the letters sent only to media figures and to the leaders of the opposition in the Senate (who had just raised objections to the USA PATRIOT Act)? 18) The Stonewall a. Colin Powell promised a "white paper" from the State Department to establish the authorship of the attacks by al-Qaeda. This was never forthcoming, and was instead replaced by a paper from Tony Blair, which presented only circumstantial evidence, with very few points actually relating to September 11th. b. Bush and Cheney pressured the (freshly-anthraxed) leadership of the Congressional opposition into delaying the 9/11 investigation for months. The administration fought against the creation of an independent investigation for more than a year. c. The White House thereupon attempted to appoint Henry Kissinger as the chief investigator, and acted to underfund and obstruct the 9/11 Commission. 59 19) A Record of Official Lies a. "No one could have imagined planes into buildings" - a transparent falsehood upheld repeatedly by Rice, Rumsfeld and Bush. b. "Iraq was connected to 9/11" - The most "outrageous conspiracy theory" of all, with the most disastrous impact. 20) Pakistani Connection - Congressional Connection a. The Pakistani intelligence agency ISI, creator of the Taliban and close ally to both the CIA and "al-Qaeda," allegedly wired $100,000 to Mohamed Atta just prior to September 11th, reportedly through the ISI asset Omar Saeed Sheikh (later arrested for the killing of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, who was investigating ISI connections to "al-Qaeda.") b. This was ignored by the congressional 9/11 investigation, although the senator and congressman who ran the probe (Bob Graham and Porter Goss) were meeting with the ISI chief, Mahmud Ahmed, on Capitol Hill on the morning of September 11th. c. About 25 percent of the report of the Congressional Joint Inquiry was redacted, including long passages regarding how the attack (or the network allegedly behind it) was financed. Graham later said foreign allies were involved in financing the alleged terror network, but that this would only come out in 30 years. 60 21) Unanswered Questions and the "Final Fraud" of the 9/11 Commission: a. The September 11th families who fought for and gained an independent investigation (the 9/11 Commission) posed 400plus questions, which the 9/11 Commission adopted as its roadmap. The vast majority of these questions were completely ignored in the Commission hearings and the final report. b. The membership and staff of the 9/11 Commission displayed awesome conflicts of interest. The families called for the resignation of Executive Director Philip Zelikow, a Bush administration member and close associate of "star witness" Condoleezza Rice, and were snubbed. Commission member Max Cleland resigned, condemning the entire exercise as a "scam" and "whitewash." c.The 9/11 Commission Report is notable mainly for its obvious omissions, distortions and outright falsehoods ignoring anything incompatible with the official story, banishing the issues to footnotes, and even dismissing the still-unresolved question of who financed 9/11 as being "of little practical significance." 22) Crown Witnesses Held at Undisclosed Locations The alleged masterminds of 9/11, Khalid Sheikh Mohamed (KSM) and Ramzi Binalshibh, are reported to have been captured in 2002 and 2003, although one Pakistani newspaper said KSM was killed in an attempted capture. They have been held at undisclosed locations and their supposed testimonies, as provided in transcript form by the government, form much of the basis for The 9/11 Commission Report (although the Commission''s request to see them in person was denied). After holding them for years, why doesn''t the government produce these men and put them to trial? 23) Spitzer Redux a. Eliot Spitzer, attorney general of New York State, snubbed pleas by New York citizens to open 9/11 as a criminal case (Justicefor911.org). b. Spitzer also refused to allow his employee, former 9/11 Commission staff member Dietrich Snell, to testify to the Congress about his (Snell''s) role in keeping "Able Danger" entirely out of The 9/11 Commission Report. 61 24) NIST Omissions After the destruction of the WTC structural steel, the official Twin Towers collapse investigation was left with almost no forensic evidence, and thus could only provide dubious computer models of ultimately unprovable hypotheses. It failed to even test for the possibility of explosives. (Why not clear this up?) 25) Radio Silence The 9/11 Commission and NIST both allowed the continuing cover-up of how Motorola''s faulty radios, purchased by the Giuliani administration, caused firefighter deaths at the WTC - once again showing the expendability, even of the first responders. 26) The Legal Catch-22 a. Hush Money - Accepting victims'' compensation barred September 11th families from pursuing discovery through litigation. b. Judge Hallerstein - Those who refused compensation to pursue litigation and discovery had their cases consolidated under the same judge (and as a rule dismissed). 27) Saudi Connections a. The 9/11 investigations made light of the "Bin Ladin Airlift" during the no-fly period, and ignored the longstanding Bush family business ties to the Bin Ladin family fortune. (A company in which both families held interests, the Carlyle Group, was holding its annual meeting on September 11th, with George Bush Sr., James Baker, and two brothers of Osama Bin Ladin in attendance.) b. The issue of Ptech. 62 28) Media Blackout of Prominent Doubters The official story has been questioned and many of the above points were raised by members of the US Congress, retired high-ranking officers of the US military, the three leading third-party candidates for President in the 2004 election, a member of the 9/11 Commission who resigned in protest, a former high-ranking adviser to the George W. Bush administration, former ministers to the German, British and Canadian governments, the commander-in-chief of the Russian air force, 100 luminaries who signed the "9/11 Truth Statement," and the presidents of Iran and Venezuela. Not all of these people agree fully with each other, but all would normally be considered newsworthy. Why has the corporate-owned US mass media remained silent about these statements, granting due coverage only to the comments of actor Charlie Sheen? GEOPOLITICS, TIMING AND POSSIBLE MOTIVES 29) "The Great Game" The Afghanistan invasion was ready for Bush''s go-ahead on September 9, 2001, with US and UK force deployments to the region already in place or underway. This followed the failure earlier that year of backdoor diplomacy with the Taliban (including payments of $125 million in US government aid to Afghanistan), in an attempt to secure a unity government for that country as a prerequisite to a Central Asian pipeline deal. 30) The Need for a "New Pearl Harbor" Principals in US foreign policy under the current Bush administration (including Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Perle and others) have been instrumental in developing long-running plans for worldwide military hegemony, including an invasion of the Middle East, dating back to the Ford, Reagan and Bush Sr. administrations. They reiterated these plans in the late 1990s as members of the "Project for a New American Century," and stated a clear intent to invade Iraq for the purpose of "regime change." After 9/11, they lost no time in their attempt to tie Iraq to the attacks. 63 31) Perpetual "War on Terror" 9/11 is supposed to provide carte-blanche for an openended, global and perpetual "War on Terror," against any enemy, foreign or domestic, that the executive branch chooses to designate, and regardless of whether evidence exists to actually connect these enemies to 9/11. 32) Attacking the Constitution a. The USA PATRIOT Act was written before 9/11, Homeland Security and the "Shadow Government" were developed long before 9/11, and plans for rounding up dissidents as a means for suppressing civil disturbance have been in the works for decades. b. 9/11 was used as the pretext to create a new, extraconstitutional executive authority to declare anyone an "enemy combatant" (including American citizens), to detain persons indefinitely without habeas corpus, and to "render" such persons to secret prisons where torture is practiced. 33) Legal Trillions 9/11 triggers a predictable shift of public spending to war, and boosts public and private spending in the "new" New Economy of "Homeland Security," biometrics, universal surveillance, prisons, civil defense, secured enclaves, security, etc. 34) Plundered Trillions? On September 10, 2001, Donald Rumsfeld announced a "war on waste" after an internal audit found that the Pentagon was "missing" 2.3 trillion dollars in unaccounted assets. On September 11th, this was as good as forgotten. 35) Did 9/11 prevent a stock market crash? Did anyone benefit from the destruction of the Securities and Exchange Commission offices at WTC 7, and the resultant crippling of hundreds of fraud investigations? 36) Resource Wars a. What was discussed in the Energy Task Force meetings under Dick Cheney in 2001? Why is the documentation of these meetings still being suppressed? b. Is Peak Oil a motive for 9/11 as inside job? 64 37.The "Little Game" Why was the WTC privatized just before its destruction? HISTORY 38) "Al-CIA-da?" The longstanding relationship between US intelligence networks and radical Islamists, including the network surrounding Osama Bin Ladin. (See also point 13d.) 39) Historical Precedents for "Synthetic Terror" a. In the past many states, including the US government, have sponsored attacks on their own people, fabricated the "cause for war," created (and armed) their own enemies of convenience, and sacrificed their own citizens for "reasons of state." b. Was 9/11 an update of the Pentagon-approved "Project Northwoods" plan for conducting self-inflicted, false-flag terror attacks in the United States, and blaming them on a foreign enemy? 40) Secret Government a. The record of criminality and sponsorship of coups around the world by the covert networks based within the US intelligence complex. b.

Dem Bones,written by James Weldon Johnson Six degrees of separation. Could it be the secret to our success? Is Milgram’s “small world experiment” proof; if we all spread the word every day, quite literally, everyone is going to know the truth? Six degrees of separation works like this. Let’s say I wanted to meet Donald Trump to sell him a marketing idea and for obvious networking purposes. Instead of wasting my time trying to follow him around, I could: 1 Attempt to meet someone that works in his building: 2 It just so happens that, that persons best friend, knows his secretaries assistant 3 Over the summer I meet the secretary’s assistant at a pool party 4 From there, we share idea’s and she tells her friend, the secretary, about my insights and gets me a phone conversation with the her 5 The secretary talks it over with her superiors (the marketing manager) and they want to schedule an interview 67 6 It turns out the marketing idea is something they have tried and are not interested. But they are impressed with my presentation none the less, we hit it off, and they invite me to golf with them on the weekends, and, guess what, so does Donald Trump 68 Remember, you are connected to everyone on the planet within six people, sometimes less. Do not, for a second trick yourself into thinking our message is not being heard. We need to create a fun culture of awakening, unified and diverse. Six degrees of separation is really a measure of ones ability to network. Get involved, meet new people, have some fun. Spread the word! Six degrees of separation is one of the globalists, secrets to power. They have used it for centuries to infiltrate everything. Now it’s time WE use it! Burn movies! Pass them out!

Whereas the First Patriot Act only gutted the First, Third, Fourth and Fifth Amendments, and seriously damaged the Seventh and the Tenth, the Second Patriot Act reorganizes the entire Federal government as well as many areas of state government under the dictatorial control of the Justice Department, the Office of Homeland Security and the FEMA NORTHCOM military command. The Domestic Security Enhancement Act 2003, also known as the Second Patriot Act is by its very structure the definition of dictatorship. I challenge all Americans to study the new Patriot Act and to compare it to the Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence. Ninety percent of the act has nothing to do with terrorism and is instead a giant Federal power-grab with tentacles reaching into every facet of our society. It strips American citizens of all of their rights and grants the government and its private agents total immunity. Here is a quick thumbnail sketch of just some of the draconian measures encapsulated within this tyrannical legislation: SECTION 501 (Expatriation of Terrorists) expands the Bush administration’s “enemy combatant” definition to all American citizens who “may” have violated any provision of Section 802 of the first Patriot Act. (Section 802 is the new definition of domestic terrorism, and the definition is “any action that endangers human life that is a violation of any Federal or State law.”) Section 501 of the second Patriot Act directly connects to Section 125 of the same act. The Justice Department boldly claims that the incredibly broad Section 802 of the First USA Patriot Act isn’t broad enough and that a new, unlimited definition of terrorism is needed. 80 Under Section 501 a US citizen engaging in lawful activities can be grabbed off the street and thrown into a van never to be seen again. The Justice Department states that they can do this because the person “had inferred from conduct” that they were not a US citizen. Remember Section 802 of the First USA Patriot Act states that any violation of Federal or State law can result in the “enemy combatant” terrorist designation. SECTION 201 of the second Patriot Act makes it a criminal act for any member of the government or any citizen to release any information concerning the incarceration or whereabouts of detainees. It also states that law enforcement does not even have to tell the press who they have arrested and they never have to release the names. SECTION 301 and 306 (Terrorist Identification Database) set up a national database of “suspected terrorists” and radically expand the database to include anyone associated with suspected terrorist groups and anyone involved in crimes or having supported any group designated as “terrorist.” These sections also set up a national DNA database for anyone on probation or who has been on probation for any crime, and orders State governments to collect the DNA for the Federal government. SECTION 312 gives immunity to law enforcement engaging in spying operations against the American people and would place substantial restrictions on court injunctions against Federal violations of civil rights across the board. SECTION 101 will designate individual terrorists as foreign powers and again strip them of all rights under the “enemy combatant” designation. SECTION 102 states clearly that any information gathering, regardless of whether or not those activities are illegal, can be considered to be clandestine intelligence activities for a foreign power. This makes news gathering illegal. SECTION 103 allows the Federal government to use wartime martial law powers domestically and internationally without Congress declaring that a state of war exists. 81 SECTION 106 is bone-chilling in its straightforwardness. It states that broad general warrants by the secret FSIA court (a panel of secret judges set up in a star chamber system that convenes in an undisclosed location) granted under the first Patriot Act are not good enough. It states that government agents must be given immunity for carrying out searches with no prior court approval. This section throws out the entire Fourth Amendment against unreasonable searches and seizures. SECTION 109 allows secret star chamber courts to issue contemp charges against any individual or corporation who refuses to incriminate themselves or others. This sections annihilate the last vestiges of the Fifth Amendment. SECTION 110 restates that key police state clauses in the first Patriot Act were not sunsetted and removes the five year sunset clause from other subsections of the first Patriot Act. After all, the media has told us: “this is the New America. Get used to it. This is forever.” SECTION 111 expands the definition of the “enemy combatant” designation. SECTION 122 restates the government’s newly announced power of “surveillance without a court order.” SECTION 123 restates that the government no longer needs warrants and that the investigations can be a giant dragnet-style sweep described in press reports about the Total Information Awareness Network. One passage reads, “thus the focus of domestic surveillance may be less precise than that directed against more conventional types of crime.” *Note: Over and over again, in subsection after subsection, the second Patriot Act states that its new Soviet-type powers will be used to fight international terrorism, domestic terrorism and other types of crimes. Of course the government has already announced in Section 802 of the first USA Patriot act that any crime is considered domestic terrorism. 82 SECTION 126 grants the government the right to mine the entire spectrum of public and private sector information from bank records to educational and medical records. This is the enacting law to allow ECHELON and the Total Information Awareness Network to totally break down any and all walls of privacy. The government states that they must look at everything to “determine” if individuals or groups might have a connection to terrorist groups. As you can now see, you are guilty until proven innocent. SECTION 127 allows the government to takeover coroners’ and medical examiners’ operations whenever they see fit. See how this is like Bill Clinton’s special medical examiner he had in Arkansas that ruled that people had committed suicide when their arms and legs had been cut off. SECTION 128 allows the Federal government to place gag orders on Federal and State Grand Juries and to take over the proceedings. It also disallows individuals or organizations to even try to quash a Federal subpoena. So now defending yourself will be a terrorist action. SECTION 129 destroys any remaining whistle blower protection for Federal agents. SECTION 202 allows corporations to keep secret their activities with toxic biological, chemical or radiological materials. SECTION 205 allows top Federal financial dealings secret, and can be considered a terrorist. for Dick Cheney to stop anyone officials to keep all their anyone investigating them This should be very useful investigating Haliburton. SECTION 303 sets up national DNA database of suspected terrorists. The database will also be used to “stop other unlawful activities.” It will share the information with state, local and foreign agencies for the same purposes. 83 SECTION 311 federalizes your local police department in the area of information sharing. SECTION 313 provides liability protection for businesses, especially big businesses that spy on their customers for Homeland Security, violating their privacy agreements. It goes on to say that these are all preventative measures – has anyone seen Minority Report? This is the access hub for the Total Information Awareness Network. SECTION 321 authorizes foreign governments to spy on the American people and to share information with foreign governments. SECTION 322 removes Congress from the extradition process and allows officers of the Homeland Security complex to extradite American citizens anywhere they wish. It also allows Homeland Security to secretly take individuals out of foreign countries. SECTION 402 is titled “Providing Material Support to Terrorism.” The section reads that there is no requirement to show that the individual even had the intent to aid terrorists. SECTION 403 expands the definition of weapons of mass destruction to include any activity that affects interstate or foreign commerce. SECTION 404 makes it a crime for a terrorist or “other criminals” to use encryption in the commission of a crime. SECTION 408 creates “lifetime parole” (basically, slavery) for a whole host of crimes. SECTION 410 creates no statute of limitations for anyone that engages in terrorist actions or supports terrorists. Remember: any crime is now considered terrorism under the first Patriot Act. SECTION 411 expands crimes that are punishable by death. Again, they point to Section 802 of the first Patriot Act and state that any terrorist act or support of terrorist act can result in the death penalty. 84 SECTION 421 increases penalties for terrorist financing. This section states that any type of financial activity connected to terrorism will result to time in prison and $10-50,000 fines per violation. SECTIONS 427 sets up asset forfeiture provisions for anyone engaging in terrorist activities. 85 A CALL TO ACTION VIDEO CONCLUSION You are living in the time of the Second American Revolution!
