Remembering 9/11

Today marks the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

Everyone remembers where they were the day of the attacks, what they were doing, the feelings, emotions and upsets at the tragedy that occured in front of our eyes and television sets.

I remember the shock and aftermath of the attacks. For years I believed the official story of that tragic day, with the planes smashing into the world trade center, the plumes of smoke filling the air, and the collapse of the buildings. It was only recently while researching other topics that I discovered evidence to suggest that the attacks were not as cut and dry as a handful of terrorists hijacking planes.

If you think about it, how could a man in a cave, thousands of miles away, direct a coordinated attack with people who had very little flight training, to ram three planes into three separate buildings?

During the entire cold war, the Russians, with all their technology, could not pull off an attack against us. We have a trillion dollar air defense system, and standard protocol when a plane goes off course, is to dispatch a fighter aircraft to check up on the plane and guide it back on course or shoot it down if it becomes an imminent threat. And yet; on 9/11 the air defense was told to ‘stand down’

The truth is that we are no closer to finding out what really happened on that fateful day, and to add insult to injury, the powers that be have kept a close lid on any kind of investigation into the crimes that occured leading up to and during the brutal murder of some 3000 inocent people.

I have already written two articles on the events of 9/11 and suggest you read them and watch the various videos and documentaries.

The truth about September 11th 2001?

9/11 conspiracy theories

What really happened at the pentagon? Why did the security cameras ‘blip’ before the plane flew into the building? Was it really a plane that flew in? Or was it a bomb or a cruise missile? One of my friends is a pilot and he said even the most experienced pilots would have a hard time putting a Boeing 757 into a building at low altitude and at high speed. He said that it would be impossible for a couple of inexperienced pilots who had only a few hours training to bring a plane down that low at that speed.

Think about how the towers came down. Planes are very fragile by comparison to concrete and steel buildings. Burning jet fuel does not generate enough heat to melt steel, and even with massive structural damage steel buildings do not simply implode into their own footprints.

Windsor Tower in Madrid, Spain burned for 20+ hours and never collapsed.


No steel frame structure has ever collapsed due to fire, before or after 9/11. On 9/11, three collapsed, due to “structural failure from fires”

Here is the burnt out shell of the skyscraper in Madrid after the fire:

Here is another sky scraper fully ablaze in Beijing:

The flames erupting from this building were far worse than the flames from the world trade center on 9/11 and yet the building did not collapse:

Here is an article that shows the difference between the 9/11 buildings and the Beijing skyscraper:

http://www.infowars.com/fire-consumes-wtc-7-size-skyscraper-building-does-not-collapse/

To expand the points even further, here is a video that shows controlled explosions as the tower comes down:

And how did the BBC manage to report that a building had come down while it was still standing? How did they know?

None of this adds up, unless you count it as a false flag attack.

There is a lot of information to suggest that the Mossad was behind 9/11. They have many enemies in the Middle East, but only this country has the resources to attack them. A false flag attack would give them the perfect opportunity to ‘nudge’ us into a conflict with their neighboring enemies.

Remember that the Israelis own or manipulate almost all of our mass media.

The Zionist Illuminati

Here is a huge report that covers in great detail what happened on 9/11 and makes a strong argument that the Zionists were behind it:

http://zioncrimefactory.com/israel-did-911/

When using critical thinking, when looking at all sides of the equation, when having an open mind, you often find out more than your were bargaining for. Being an open minded free thinker, I find myself on like-minded people’s websites, and can’t help but find ‘9/11 truther’ articles among the political and philisophical articles. I don’t expect you to take any of this at face value. Up until only a year or two ago, I never would have believed any of this would be possible, but the research speaks volumes for itself.

I suggest you do your own research, and draw your own conclusions. It makes me feel sick when I find evidence like this. But if we do not find the truth, if we do not hold the true culprits responsible, then they will have gotten away with murder, and they will be able to continue their crimes without hinderance. That is simply not acceptable.

I have been told that by not respecting the official story of 9/11 that I am ‘spitting on the graves’ of those who died. I do not see how my questioning of the events is ‘spitting on the graves’ of those who were murdered. In fact I would say that the quest for justice is more respectful of those who died than those who simply bury their heads in the sand and believe whatever the government tells them. The same government who used the excuse of 9/11 to start multiple wars that have consumed the lives of millions of innocent people since.

For those who I have upset with this post I would say; this post should upset you, because your emotions have been played against you to start a ‘War on Terror’ which should be more aptly named ‘War of Terror’.

Was it Al-Qaeda who flew the planes into the towers? Perhaps, but that is not what brought them down. There is too much evidence to suggest otherwise.

My heart goes out to all the familes and friends who got caught up in the tragedy of 9/11, to those who died during the attacks, and to those who died or got sick from the dust while rescuing others. Please take a moment to remember the firefighters and all the emergency response personnel who were at the scene and who gave their lives to save others.

I will take a moment also to remember all of the service men and woman who have died fighting in foreign wars in the name of 9/11. These wars were meant to protect our freedoms, and yet we have lost almost all of them at home since. I would like to thank all the brave men and women who have come forward with information regarding what really happened on 9/11. I will do all that I can to spread the word of liberty, to honor those who died, so that we can live fuller lives and help prevent further bloodshed, so that we can all return to living in relative peace again.

What Really Happened; and false flags

For a while now I have mentioned the site www.whatreallyhappened.com

I have mentioned the site because Mike Rivero does a great job at displaying hundreds of articles a day from various alternative news sites, that you won’t see on the ‘mainstream media’. Recently, viewings of such channels as CNN have plummeted so far that ‘what really happened’ has over taken over in number of viewers/readers.

Also, you have seen me mention false flags and Zionism.

I now believe that 9/11 was a false flag attack, for many reasons. And that there are, and have been many false flag attacks throughout history.

The Olympics, while being held not too far from where I was born, may well be a major distraction, and become a false flag event. Never in my life have I seen Britain so militarized for any event.

Does it not seem odd that our presidential candidates always go to Israel before becoming president?

All the events that are going on right now, seem to be adding up. I think people such as Glenn Beck, Alex Jones and others all have peices of the puzzle, but that they don’t completely add up. I think Mike Rivero is closer than anyone right now to understanding ‘what really happened’.

I have studied the American Revolution and the declaration of independence, and I have studied the ‘tea party’ groups and ‘occupy wall street’ groups. It seems a little too convienient that one ‘side’ is declared to be ‘conservative’ and the other ‘side’ declared to be ‘liberal’. I agree with the Tea Party groups that we are taxed too much and that government has too much control. But I also agree with the Occupiers that there are criminals in some of the banks and in government. There are members of the 1% who do need to be brought to justice. But I have no problem with capitalism, I do not want some kind of socialist society. Equally, I’m not interested in serving in the military or praising God every sunday, as many of the Tea Party group advocate. I think what both groups are really grasping at; is that they want government off their backs and want to be free to create their dreams again. I believe that sooner (hopefully with the election of Ron Paul) or later, there will be another revolution in this country. Between the individualists and the collectivists.

I would say, check your premise. What are you actually supporting? Are you part of a collective, or a band of individuals, working together for mutual advantage?

And as for the media and current going’s on, I would say, as Sherlock Holmes did; “when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth”

Here are a few articles to keep you busy:

The Jews do control the media

Romney courts donors

70 Million voters ignored

London Olympics – False Flag, Diversion or Prelude?

These are but a blip of information of what is going on right now. Take each with a pinch of salt, and try to keep an open mind. An emotional electorate will elect anyone, and allow anything to happen.

Oh, and remember what I said about WWIII?

Yeah, check these two articles out:

Chinese Destroyer Enters Suez Canal

Iran, Syria, Russia, China plan naval drill in Mediterranean

The world is waking up, and it’s doing so in the form of blogs like these (perhaps that’s why so many members of congress wanted PIPA and SOPA to go through, to silence the masses)

The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion

The picture below is the cover from a Spanish book. It illustrates that Zionists control the Banks, the Christians, the Nazis, the Communists, and the Masons:

1. The Basic Doctrine

  1. Putting aside fine phrases we shall speak of the significance of each thought: by comparisons and deductions we shall throw light upon surrounding facts.
  2. What I am about to set forth, then, is our system from the two points of view, that of ourselves and that of the GOYIM [i.e., non-Jews].
  3. It must be noted that men with bad instincts are more in number than the good, and therefore the best results in governing them are attained by violence and terrorisation, and not by academic discussions. Every man aims at power, everyone would like to become a dictator if only he could, and rare indeed are the men who would not be willing to sacrifice the welfare of all for the sake of securing their own welfare.
  4. What has restrained the beasts of prey who are called men? What has served for their guidance hitherto?
  5. In the beginnings of the structure of society, they were subjected to brutal and blind force; after words – to Law, which is the same force, only disguised. I draw the conclusion that by the law of nature right lies in force.

The protocols of the learned elders of Zion has been used on America, it was even used on Hitler. We are led to believe that we should not question Israelis of the extremism of Zionist Jews because of the atrocities of the holocaust. The sickening fact is that it was simply a front to make us look in the other direction while millions of humans the world over have been massacred in the name of a one world government.

The basic premise of the protocols is that the end justifies the means. Here is a one page summary…

Goyim are mentally inferior to Jews and can’t run their nations properly.  For their sake and ours, we need to abolish their governments and replace them with a single government.  This will take a long time and involve much bloodshed, but it’s for a good cause.  Here’s what we’ll need to do:

Eventually the Goyim will be so angry with their governments (because we’ll blame them for the resulting mess) that they’ll gladly have us take over.  We will then appoint a descendant of David to be King of the World, and the remaining Goyim will bow down and sing his praises.  Everyone will live in peace and obedient order under his glorious rule.

What I’ve been trying to say lately is really defined in this article. All the silly in-fighting between left vs right is a complete misconception sponsored by the media. All the notions that ‘the terrorists’ are out to get us, is bloated also. No one is coming after us except ourselves. We are the ones who are causing our own suffering. The sooner we shrug off the shackles of the elites, the media, and all their silly little games, the sooner we can get back to freedom in our country.

The Zionist Illuminati

This has become one of my most popular articles since writing it almost three years ago. While I am concerned about Zionist influence in our media and culture, I believe there are many factions at play. When I wrote this I had just discovered the ‘Zionist Illuminati’ and since then I have found many other cults that are of concern. Do not get wrapped up around one theory, as there are many. Keep an open mind, and always question with boldness. – Paul Townsend 12/17/14

 

“I want to tell you something very clear, don’t worry about American pressure on Israel, we, the Jewish people control America, and the Americans know it.” – Ariel Sharon to Shimon Peres, October 3rd, 2001, as reported on Kol Yisrael radio.

The Zionist Illuminati with their New World Order objective, have infected both the left and the right side of political America. In fact, they have infected most of the world.

Most Jews are peace loving, just as most Christians, Muslims and other religious followers are. But as with all of them, there is an ‘extreme’ element that is very sinister in its motives.

The Zionist Illuminate believe in a New World Order and One World Government, while also limiting the world’s population.

On the left side of the political spectrum you have the Zionist Progressives, of which many democrats are a part of, and on the right, you have the Zionist Neo-Conservatives of which many republicans are a part of.

The Zionist Agenda: They Totally Control Goliath

 

 By: Ted Lang

 

Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism; the latter term has been corrupted to where today its use is as a powerful word weapon smear tactic to prevent Americans from discussing, realizing, and reacting to the horrific danger that Zionism presents to not only our nation, but also to the peace, safety and freedom of the entire world. And that threat can be summarized as the Zionist’s “global agenda.”

Few Americans are aware that the statist Jews that created Israel were under the direction, funding, support and protection of the Zionist, communist, Rothschild-led international banking cartel. And this group of secret, international bankers, often referred to as the Illuminati, was behind the Balfour Declaration, the Versailles Treaty, and America’s involvement in both World Wars I and II. Millions of people have been murdered, maimed, enslaved and impoverished by this secret, Zionist and communist banking cartel. And the Bush family has been on board with them and has been a key part of their operation, especially as regards their funding and support of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, since the 1920s.

Before a real foe can be attacked, that foe must be seen and recognized as such. And before that foe can be stopped, one must know his immediate intent, his methods, and hopefully, his ultimate objective. The term “anti-Semitic” was created by the very same organizations that worked side by side with Adolf Hitler and his Nazis to exterminate orthodox, Torah-obedient and peace-loving Jews. These very same “anti-defamation league” types are the very same genocidal murderers of Jews during Hitler’s time. Most Americans are clueless about this important fact.

Once again, Dr. Henry Makow has thrown a monumental lead block into the rushing, advancing line of Zionist liars and propagandists. His June 28th column on Ether Zone entitled, “Zionism – A Conspiracy Against Jews,” is yet another trail-blazing exposé that helps to uncover what is rapidly becoming the most dangerous threat to Mankind. Makow offers: “Why retell this story of Zionist-Nazi cooperation now? Because ‘Jewish’ leaders have been exploiting their ‘lesser brethren’ for a long time, and are doing so today. Ordinary Jews pay the price and this price could rise.” This has always been the progressive modus operandi of the Zionists: attack, besmirch, kill and plunder in the name of Jewry, and then scream “anti-Semitism” when anyone complains.

Makow continues: “In my opinion, Zionism is a movement to deceive Jews into advancing the objectives of British imperialism. (See, The Jewish Conspiracy is British Imperialism.) Zionists who have built their lives on a false premise naturally will reject this view. Specifically, Jews helped the British-Jewish elite colonize the oil-rich Middle East under the pretext of Jews needing a national home. Despite the appearance of neutrality, the British (and Americans) financed, trained and equipped the Jews. (John Coleman, Diplomacy by Deception p. 107.) The ‘British’ are really the London-based international banking cartel associated with names like Rothschild and Rockefeller. It doesn’t answer to any government. Its goal is to colonize the world and everyone in it. Jews are a means to this end. As seen in Iraq, Zionists (a.k.a Neocons) play a major role in the colonization of the Middle East. The important thing to remember is that Israelis the creation of this cartel; both Israel and the US are its tools.”

Occasionally, the term “Illuminati” is used instead of the burdensome “Zionist, communist, Rothschild-led secret international banking cartel.” That is a very top-heavy description; but, on the other hand, “Illuminati” is too abbreviated to be enlightening. I prefer the term “Zionist Illuminati.” There is absolutely nothing wrong with this term; it is brief, and much more descriptive of the moneyed, communist secret society that is undermining America in every way imaginable.

The Zionist Illuminati are the driving force behind a one-world government New World Order. Why do the multi zillionaire international bankers, communists, and neo-Nazi Jews or Zionists want a New World Order? Makow explains: “All money is created in the form of debt to the privately owned banking cartel. Imagine if you could create money out of thin air. Imagine you have the credit cards of all the nations in your pocket. Your first impulse is to lend money to your nominees so they can buy most of the world’s real wealth for you. Your second impulse is to establish a totalitarian system (‘world government’ ‘globalization’) to prevent any nation from challenging this system or defaulting on their ‘debt’ to you. To make them accept ‘world government,’ you need to weaken them by having them fight among themselves, run up huge debts for armaments (which you will sell them), kill off the cream of their manhood, and become demoralized and decadent. You accomplish this through your ownership of politicians and the press and your control of MI-6, CIA, [and] Mossad who carry out terror and assassinations for you. This is the real history of the last 300 years.”

Makow elaborates: “‘World government’ is really about using debt to enslave us; it is an international loan collection agency. Naturally you will shroud this with talk about tolerance, human rights and preventing war. A quote from a 1924 edition of the American Banker’s Association Digest sums up what is currently happening. Keep this in mind when you vote. ‘When, through the process of law, the common people lose their homes, they will become more docile and more easily governed through the strong arm of government applied by a central power of wealth under leading financiers. These truths are well known among our principal men who are now engaged in forming imperialism to govern the world. By dividing the voter through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting for questions of no importance.’”

It may seem foolish to repeat verbatim what Makow has already offered, but there is an important lesson here. There exists a driving, powerful international force that plans, engineers, and makes things happen. I reiterate once again FDR’s observation that nothing in politics just happens – everything is planned. And what happens if conspiracy theories like that offered by Makow prove to be wrong – what would be the harm? But what would be the result if Makow is right, and we the people do nothing? Clearly, the better option is to assume that Makow is right and that Rush Limbaugh is a fool, a liar, a Zionist stooge, or all of these.

It is common knowledge that all the Jewish-sounding names in President George W. Bush’s Pentagon and military advisor group are transferees from the pro-Israel, neoconservative, Project for the New American Century group. It was this secretive, Zionist PNAC cabal that turned the Bush administration’s military might and America’s anger away from the al-Qaeda terrorists based in Afghanistan and focused them instead on innocent Iraq. And perhaps Iraq wasn’t 100 percent innocent; perhaps there was some remote flimsy connection. But solid evidence that a 9-11 collaboration transpired such that it justified a unilateral, preemptive and unnecessary attack on Iraq has never been produced. But the Zionist PNACers have an agenda, and one not shared by or with the American people.

The anger turned against Iraq was easily accomplished via the Zionist-controlled, corporate media. Now here’s where the greatest danger to America exists. Again, Jewish-sounding names can be found: Redstone, Sulzberger, Newhouse, Eisner, Bloomberg, etc. Is it “anti-Semitic” to point this out, or is this rock solid reality? Is it “anti-Semitic” to point out all the Jewish-sounding names of the lawyers in the “very rich and powerful” [Bill O’Reilly] American Civil Liberties Union? The ACLU also has documented, irrefutable beginnings as a communist organization, just as is the case with the Trotsky-connected neoconservatives that make up Bush’s PNAC cabal. And again, what greater organization spews more “anti-Semitic” allegations than the Anti Defamation League of B’nai B’rith?

Remember how Tarpley and Chaitkin [George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography] described the way the Zionist B’nai B’rith, the Zionist American-Jewish Committee, and the Zionist Sulzberger – owned New York Times, all cooperated with the Rothschild banking cabal through its agent Max Warburg, whose brother, Paul Warburg, founded the United States Federal Reserve? “This seal of approval for Hitler, coming from a famous Jew, was just what Harriman and Bush required, for they anticipated rather serious ‘alarm’ inside theU.S.A.against their Nazi operations.” And, ” … on March 31, 1933, the American-Jewish Committee, controlled by the Warburgs, and the B’nai B’rith, heavily influenced by the Sulzbergers (New York Times), issued a formal, official joint statement of the two organizations, counseling ‘that no American boycott against Germany be encouraged,’ and advising ‘that no further mass meetings be held or similar forms of agitation be employed.’”

This is the same anti-Defamation League Zionists of B’nai B’rith that screamed “anti-Semitism!” and did everything they could via their Hollywood Zionist connections to block the distribution of Christian Mel Gibson’s film, The Passion of The Christ. And isn’t it the Zionist, communist, and very rich ACLU, that has been roaming America from town to town to ban permanently from our culture Nativity scenes and displays celebrating the highest Christian holy day in America, namely Christmas? Haven’t the clever Zionist lawyers been using our freedoms and our own laws against us? And hasn’t the Zionist ADL joined forces with Sarah Brady to ram gun control down our throats all across America?

Wasn’t it the Zionist family of Samuel Newhouse and its Newark Star-Ledger of New Jersey that launched the initial salvo against the Boy Scouts of America, a campaign that is mercilessly hounding and defunding Scout Troops across the nation hoping to abolish them, and along with them the morality and honor the Scouts try to inculcate in each boy? The Newhouse organization was the lead in replacing sodomy and homosexuality for the Scouts’ “morally straight” oath. In the Mid West, Newhouse News Service has been performing above-average “journalistic” coverage of University of Missouri-Kansas City Professor Harris Mirkin’s writings encouraging pedophilia.

Our nation is under attack by the Zionist Illuminati on all fronts. The Zionist Illuminati, acting through their Zionist corporate media, surreptitiously and remotely control public opinion, encourage and agitate special, superior rights for female communists [feminism] and homosexuals [human rights] in order to destroy the number one building block of our society; namely, the normal, religious family of two legally married heterosexual parents with children.

Under the guise of “tolerance,” Zionists are advocating homosexuality, feminism, and pedophilia and viciously attacking Christianity through their communist ACLU in order to destroy American society and its moral fiber. Under the guise of “separation of church and state,” a term originated by Thomas Jefferson and used completely out of context by former Chief Justice Earl Warren of the so-called Supreme Court, legalistic abolition of moral accountability to God, as well as the celebration of Christmas, Easter, and Christianity itself along with the Ten Commandments, all are now earmarked for extinction to rid America of its national character, identity, resolve and its national sovereignty.

These dangerous Zionist organizations must be identified, examined, challenged, and neutralized, charges of “anti-Semitism” notwithstanding. Zionist control of our news and entertainment media, to include TV network news, TV entertainment programs, Hollywood, newspapers, magazines, radio [even Limbaugh and Hannity “talk” radio], represents the means to justify an end to America.America is only vital to Zionism in terms of the military might that can be commandeered by Israel, and the enormous taxpayer funds that can be funneled to Israel due to its failed socialist economy. The problem for them is an American freedom-oriented and armed populace, which present a major threat and obstacle to the Zionist Illuminati’s agenda for a New World Order directly under their control.

The Zionists Completely Control the media:

“Israel may have the right to put others on trial, but certainly no one has the right to put the Jewish people and the State of Israel on trial.” – Ariel Sharon

We have been told over and over again that we need to fear the Muslim radicals, and yet it is the Zionists who have gained control of almost every aspect of our lives.

Just like the magicians trick of ‘look at my left hand while I do something else with my right hand’, the Zionists have taken over this country. I think it’s time you start doing your own research and start looking at the real problems in this country, instead of listening to everything the ‘mainstream media’ tells you.

America is being used, and there are many wolves in sheep’s clothing. Remember the constitution, and remember the founding principles, stand for liberty and peace, and stop going with the crowd when it comes to electing politicians. Always look for the man behind the curtain, and then look for the man pulling his strings, and then the string maker, because there are lies upon lies upon lies in this world, and you should never be so naive as to believe everything you hear on the television, in fact you should reject the majority of it entirely. The Illuminati have you under their influence, and they’ll use you all against each other.

What’s up with Israel?

US politicians and people like Glenn Beck profess their love for Israel whenever the subject of the Middle East comes up. But they never talk about how Israel came about, or its bloody uprising.

This documentary shows an unbiased view of the birth of Israel:

So what do the Nazis and Israelis have in common?

Both Nazi Germany and Israel have occupied lands that did not belong to them. Both came about by war and bloody struggle, and both massacred innocent civilians. Why is it that because of what happened during the holocaust in Nazi Germany in Europe, that we can somehow justify the expulsion of Palestinians from their native lands in the Middle East?

What happened during the holocaust was terrible and unimaginable. But what many in the world do not realize, or rather ignore; is that many ethnic cleansing and brutal murders on a massive scale, have happened since. Just look at Bosnia, Rwanda, and Somalia. Just in the last couple of decades many hundreds of thousands of people have been murdered. Why do we feel the need to justify Israel’s occupation of Palestine because of what the Nazi’s in Europe did to the Jews during the early 1940’s? Does it not seem ironic to you that we support a regime that now shows similarities to the very evil they themselves fled from?

Why do we support an occupying regime in the Middle East, just because it professes to be a democracy? Why do we denigrate Iran for being ‘extreme’ when we are the ones who overthrew its leader when they attempted to form their own democracy?

Why do individuals allow themselves to get so wrapped up in a one sided view point? Arabs and Muslims are not evil; they do not want to kill us all, just as Christians and Jews are not all evil also. There is a very small percentage of each group that wants holy war, and it has been going on for hundreds of years.

Do not get sucked into such a way of thinking. It is a trap, and you will become a useful idiot.

My articles are highly controversial, and I rock the boat severely when it comes to politics. I don’t really fall into one category. My mode of thinking perplexes both those on the right and those on the left. But if we are to move forward in the world, if we are to restore this country, and become a beacon of hope for the world once more. We need to be able to sit down and intelligently think about how we conduct ourselves in the world. Remember that your comfort zone is your failure zone. Don’t get comfortable being a ‘conservative’ and don’t get comfortable being a ‘liberal’. Both sides will play you off against one another. They are both two faces on the same head. Don’t allow political pundits to manipulate your mind so that you become sedate in your actions.

I believe in liberty for all mankind, or at least an adherence toward it. Developed nations should strive to become an example for the world. Not try to force other nations to ‘comply’ with their demands. That is why I do not agree with the sanctions on Iran, and that is why I do not support Israel. If we truly wanted peace in the Middle East, we would withdraw our troops and go home. But we are not interested in that. We are simply and desperately interested in oil.
