Profound Quotes

"Neither is it that US foreign policy is cruel because American leaders are cruel. It's that our leaders are cruel because only those willing to be inordinately cruel and remorseless can hold positions of leadership in the foreign policy establishment; it might as well be written into the job description. People capable of expressing a full human measure of compassion and empathy toward faraway powerless strangers - (let alone American soldiers - do not become president of the United States, or vice president, or secretary of state, or national security adviser or secretary of the treasury. Nor do they want to." From 'Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower' by William Blum

From "9-11, Six Years Later": "If one looks at the credentials of skeptics compared to the credentials of defenders of the official line, it is impossible to dismiss skeptics as kooks. There are many people with strong imaginations on the Internet, but serious skeptics stick to known facts, known violations of standard procedures and the laws of physics. The vast majority of the people who call skeptics "kooks" are themselves ignorant of physics and have little comprehension of the improbability that such an attack could succeed without either the complicity or complete failure of government agencies. " Paul Craig Roberts

"Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular? But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right." Martin Luther King, Jr.

9/11 FOOLS AND LIARS

Craig Murray: Demolition expert

I do not believe that the US government, or any of its agencies, were responsible for 9/11. It would just need too many people to be involved. Someone would have objected. There are some strange and dangerous people in America, but not in sufficient concentration for this one. They couldn’t even keep Watergate quiet …

Craig Murray shows remarkable naivete and ignorance.

And reading the comments following his post, one has to wonder who the apparent simpleton, McDuff, works for.

Amusingly, Angrysoba, who Murray exposed as an agent provocateur in the post immediately preceding this one, thanks Murray profusely for his piece and tackles every critic. Is Angrysoba paid by the word, one wonders.

For a 9/11 inside job, too many people would have been needed, Murray, says. Well, how many people does he think were needed? The official conspiracy theory says 19. The US intelligence agencies have $40 billion a year in overt funding plus whatever they make on drugs and other operations. Does Murray really believe that these folks can bring down foreign governments but they don’t have 19 people or whatever it takes to bring down an office building?

As for “someone would have objected,” that sounds like a good way for someone to get themselves killed. You know, like David Kelly.

Then Murray has the notion that the Twin Towers couldn’t have been bolted together properly. Well, yes children, except they happened to be the tallest buildings in the World when they went up. You think they were put up by a bunch of amateurs without supervision or proper architectural drawings?

Anyhow, it contradicts Newton’s law of the conservation of momentum for the towers to have pancaked at free fall speed. Look around, you’ll find a competent mathematical analysis on the web.

But, heck, let’s just believe it: a bunch of Arabs with no obvious skills or moral conviction, armed only with box cutters, were able to outwit a trillion-dollar defense establishment — and no one in the Department of Defense or the military had to resign.

Oh, and about Watergate. It wasn’t that they couldn’t keep it quiet, the problem was that a security guard apprended the burglars: G Gordon Liddy, and E Howard Hunt. When your guys are in the nick there’s no way of keeping it quiet.

And at that, I think I should leave it.

I created this page in 2003, as a protest at the lies that launched the Iraq war, including the lies about 9/11. The war has now expanded to many countries. No protest will stop it - only American victory or defeat. Obama has decreed that 9/11 be believed, and believed it will be. Some are ignorant, some are foolish and persuaded by nonsense, some find it in their interest to fall in line. I will save my breath.

Wars sending U.S. into ruin | Eric Margolis | Columnists | Comment | Toronto Sun

U.S. President Barack Obama calls the $3.8-trillion US budget he just sent to Congress a major step in restoring America’s economic health.

In fact, it’s another potent fix given to a sick patient deeply addicted to the dangerous drug — debt.

More empires have fallen because of reckless finances than invasion. The latest example was the Soviet Union, which spent itself into ruin by buying tanks.

Washington’s deficit (the difference between spending and income from taxes) will reach a vertiginous $1.6 trillion US this year. The huge sum will be borrowed, mostly from China and Japan, to which the U.S. already owes $1.5 trillion. Debt service will cost $250 billion.

To spend $1 trillion, one would have had to start spending $1 million daily soon after Rome was founded and continue for 2,738 years until today.

Obama’s total military budget is nearly $1 trillion. This includes Pentagon spending of $880 billion. Add secret black programs (about $70 billion); military aid to foreign nations like Egypt, Israel and Pakistan; 225,000 military “contractors” (mercenaries and workers); and veterans’ costs. Add $75 billion (nearly four times Canada’s total defence budget) for 16 intelligence agencies with 200,000 employees.

The Afghanistan and Iraq wars ($1 trillion so far), will cost $200-250 billion more this year, including hidden and indirect expenses. Obama’s Afghan “surge” of 30,000 new troops will cost an additional $33 billion — more than Germany’s total defence budget.

No wonder U.S. defence stocks rose after Peace Laureate Obama’s “austerity” budget. …

YayaCanada: What kind of nutter would you like to be?

What kind of nutter would you like to be?

I re-watched Chariots of the Gods late last night just to get my mind off the mindless crap that constantly flows down the tubes via the media.

Did you know that when the steam engine was first developed there were “scientific” studies that warned people off train travel because the human body could not withstand speeds over 20 miles an hour?

Well, that’s what the documentary said, and there’s no reason not to believe it considering that experts have been proven wrong and/or biased repeatedly down through the ages, and even mainstream media is willing to state that doctors believe medical myths.

Ask an honest doctor (if you can find one who’s willing to open up) why s/he recommended the H1N1 vaccine to patients even though s/he had no idea whether or not it was effective or safe. Because their Medical Association told them to.

Doctors don’t know anything more about the latest drugs and vaccines than you do. They know only what they are told by the Pharmers. They take perks from the Pharmers, and they invest in Pharming companies. They just hope and pray they’re doing the right thing. If a patient doesn’t improve or complains of side effects, they try another drug. And still they pass themselves off as “experts”.

Why do you think they wear those white coats? It’s the only thing they have that separates them from the rest of us with regard to knowledge of drugs and vaccines. If anybody should be up on the carpet for misrepresentation, it’s the whole medical profession.

They admit they don’t know what causes autism, for instance, yet they insist we believe they know what doesn’t cause it. Jenny McCarthy knows as much as a medical professional when it comes to autism, because the medical profession knows little beyond what the symptoms are. In fact, McCarthy knows more having lived intimately with an autistic child.

And she has a right to do what feels right for her and her child, without being guilted by a bunch of panickers.

John (Manitoba) writes: There seems to be more to the story of the Lancet retraction of the article re vaccinations and autism, big Pharma maybe?

The Lancet Slammed by Medical Veritas Editors: Vaccine Science Poisoned by Special Interests in PharmaMedia

Even now, Horton fails to accept responsibility for the human toll he engendered by publishing the Wakefield ’study.’.

On the contrary,” wrote Dr. Leonard Horowitz, Editor-in-Chief of Medical Veritas. “Dr. Horton’s delay is best explained by his aversion to self incrimination and conspiring to cover-up iatrogenocide–the medical mass murder of innocent people for profit.”

Yes, of course there’s more in this story. There’s more even in the story published here on November 5, 2009.

Common sense tells you that if an “expert” supports a controversial thesis and later retracts it without adequately explaining why, then pressure was brought to bear. And yes, it would be Pharmers pulling the strings.

The Lancet is getting it from both ends, naturally. Natural News is condemning them for retracting, and cites a conspiracy by Big Pharm.

Eeeeeewwww, more conspiracy theory! Yet the upholders of the establishment who knee-jerk that pejorative see no lapse in logic when accusing the tobacco industry of fudging its “scientific” studies and deliberately, ultimately, killing our children by addicting them to smokes.

If the accusation is true of a heavily regulated industry like the tobacco industry, then it’s true of Big Pharm which is given carte blanche to peddle poison even though it’s provenly killing people every day.

No one knows anything about vaccines other than what they’ve been told by the so-called “authorities” and that goes for the believers who sneer “conspiracy theory”.

Alway, always, the only way to survive in this world of competing ideas is to listen to both sides and then do what feels right for you - and above all never to adopt a course of action out of fear - and certainly not the fear that the “health experts” peddle every day, 24 hours a day to keep their business going.

Those who abandoned their own survival instincts the moment they became aware of the power of “experts” are indecisive cowards who strive always to be on the side currently perceived to be the most powerful.

When I look at the spokespeople for vaccines I see people who are too young to recall a time when there were no vaccines for measles, mumps and chicken pox, and nobody lived in fear of their children coming down with typical, immunity boosting, childhood diseases. These moderns have succumbed to fear campaigns, and have lost their own powers of reasoning. They are to be pitied, but taken with a strong dose of salt.

The bravest people in the world are the parents who know in their gut what caused their child’s autism, especially the ones who found the courage to chelate their children and proved, when they got back a communicating child, that mercury was indeed a culprit.

Those parents should be left free to care for their children according to their own (GOD-GIVEN, you heathens!) inner guidance, and not be ridiculed or guilted.

If you’ve been so frightened by selective science that you resent people who don’t get vaccinated, thinking their “selfishness” could endanger you or yours, then you’re not thinking clearly at all. Listen to the experts - all you have to do is take every shot handed out and it won’t matter what other people do, you’ll be safe.

You’re not likely to be healthy, though. With all our so-called medical advances, almost everybody you know is suffering some form of “modern” chronic disease. That should tell you something, but it probably won’t.

Base Commander of CFB Trenton charged with murdering two women, raping two others | rabble.ca

Quote:

The commander of CFB Trenton, a career officer with 23 years in the military, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of two women, including a corporal at Trenton and a Belleville woman who vanished 11 days ago.

Col. Russell Williams, 46, was also charged Monday in connection with sexual assault in two home invasions in the Tweed area, Det. Insp. Chris Nicholas said at a news conference today in Belleville.

The charges came “due to a singularity in those incidents,” Nicholas said. “We linked those crimes to a single suspect.”

Jessica Lloyd, 27, vanished Jan. 28 and police said on Monday that her body had been found. A second woman, Cpl. Marie France Comeau of the 435th squadron, Trenton, was found dead in her home in Brighton on Nov. 25, 2009.

It’s not that sudden.

Meir Weinstein played a big part in having George Galloway banned. He gave an interview with ITV in Britain from the CBC studios in Toronto. There is a link to that interview in this blog (about 1/2 way down).

Weinstein makes some outrageous remarks about monitoring people who planned to attend George Galloway’s talks. This guy is a thug and goon. None of these comments made in this interview were reported in the Canadian media.

Also, Jaku, you have to understand that to a group like “Hasbara”(whose name, for those who don’t know, is actually the Hebrew word for “propaganda”) “Free(ing) Palestinians From Hamas” means “Annex The West Bank AND Gaza NOW!”.

I’m kind of astonished that the JDL suddenly have the public profile in Canada that they do. That didn’t use to be true. In congressional testimony in the U.S., the FBI have described JDL actions as “terrorist.” How were they suddenly rehabilitated here?

Jaku, I think it makes sense to reserve judgment on the alleged altercation until actual evidence comes forward. As has been said, since the Hasbara people were videotaping a visual document should exist. Whether the documened evidence accords with Habara/JDL’s claims of an “assualt” let alone “anti-Semitic slurs” is another matter.

Having seen the JDL physically assault people I think their statement on this is quite ironic. If Hasbara is as peace-loving as they claim they will issue a statement distancing themselves from the group.

…and I’m sure they’re not your cup of tea. I’m pretty sure you’ve expressed that you respectfully disagree with the JDL.

If it’s true, there would be some witnesses right? I mean a “mob of 50″ wouldn’t go unnoticed. I agree that if this occurred, the perpetrators ought to be penalized. Unfortunately Hasbara has a reputation of being an extremist group (affiliated with Aish Hatorah. which Israeli-American journalist Jeffrey Goldberg calls the most fundamentalist movement in Judaism today) that has a very distorted view of the world and it would be preferable if a non-interested party was witness to the event.
