|The United States has sold Israel $319 million worth of air-launched bombs, including 500 'bunker busters' able to penetrate Iran's underground nuclear facilities. The Haaretz newspaper, September 21, 2004, quoted a Pentagon report as saying the planned procurement sought 'to maintain Israel's qualitative advantage and advance U.S. strategic and tactical interests.'
Unusually Large U.S. Weapons Shipment to Israel: Are the US and Israel Planning a Broader Middle East War? A very large delivery of US weaponry to Israel consisting of 3,000 tons of 'ammunition' is scheduled to sail to Israel. The size and nature of the shipments are described as 'unusual.'
by Michel Chossudovsky
Global Research, January 11, 2009 Reuters, January 10, 2009:
Shipping 3,000-odd tons of ammunition in one go is a lot," one broker said, on condition of anonymity. This (kind of request) is pretty rare and we haven't seen much of it quoted in the market over the years," he added. Shipping brokers in London who have specialized in moving arms for the British and U.S. military in the past said such ship charters to Israel were rare.325 standard 20-foot containers The Pentagon has entrusted a Greek merchant shipping company to deliver the weapons to Israel. Reuters, January 10, 2009:
The U.S. is seeking to hire a merchant ship to deliver hundreds of tons of arms to Israel from Greece later this month, tender documents seen by Reuters show. The U.S. Navy's Military Sealift Command (MSC) said the ship was to carry 325 standard 20-foot containers of what is listed as 'ammunition' on two separate journeys from the Greek port of Astakos to the Israeli port of Ashdod in mid-to-late January. A 'hazardous material' designation on the manifest mentions explosive substances and detonators, but no other details were given.It is worth noting that a similar unusually large shipment of US ordinance to Israel was scheduled in early December. Press TV, 10 Jan 2009
Tender documents indicate that the German ship hired by the US in early December also carried a massive cargo of weapons that weighed over 2.6 million kg [2600 tons] and filled up to 989 standard 20-foot containers to Ashdod from North Carolina.
Are These Large Shipments of Ordinance Connected to the Invasion of Gaza? The request by the Pentagon to transport ordinance in a commercial vessel, according to Reuters, was made on December 31, 4 days after the commencement of the aerial bombings of Gaza by F16 Fighter jets. Analysts have hastily concluded, without evidence, that the 2 shipments of "ammunition" were intended to supply Israel's armed forces in support of its military invasion of Gaza.
A senior military analyst in London who declined to be named said that, because of the timing, the shipments could be "irregular" and linked to the Gaza offensive. (Reuters, January 10, 2009)These reports are mistaken. Delivery of ordinance always precedes the onslaught of a military operation. The ordinance required under 'Operation Cast Lead' was decided upon in June 2008. Further to the Tel Aviv's request under the US military aid program to Israel, the U.S. Congress approved in September 2008 the transfer of 1,000 bunker-buster high precision GPS-guided Small Diameter Guided Bomb Units 39 (GBU-39). The GBU 39 smart bombs produced by Boeing were delivered to Israel in November. They were used in the initial air raids on Gaza:
...The Israel Air Force has used the new lightweight GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb acquired from the USA, in the recent attacks in Gaza. The [Jerusalem] Post mentioned the new weapons ordered last September having arrived last month [November], and already put to action with the IAF fighters. These weapons could have been deployed by the Boeing/IAF F-15Is, since sofar SDB is cleared for use only with this type of aircraft.It is highly unlikely that the bulk of the weaponry included in these two large shipments, scheduled to arrive in Israel in late January, is intended to be used in Israel's military operation in Gaza. The GBU-39 is lightweight (130 kg). The entire shipment of GBU 39s (1000 units) would be of the order of a modest 130 tons. In other words, the specifications of the GBU 39 do not match the description of the "unusually large" and "heavy" shipment of ordinance. Escalation Scenario The shipment ordered on December 31 is of the order of 3000 tons, an unusually large and heavy cargo of 'ammunition' pointing to the transfer of heavy weaponry to Israel. According to US military statements, the ordinance is for stockpiling, to be used "at short notice" in the eventuality of a conflict:
This previously scheduled shipment is routine and not in support of the current situation in Gaza. ...The U.S. military pre-positions stockpiles in some countries in case it needs supplies at short notice." (Reuters, 10 Jan 2009, emphasis added)Whatever the nature of these large weapons shipments, they are intended for use in a future military operation in the Middle East.
Since the launching of the Theater Iran Near Term Operation Operation (TIRANNT) in May 2003, an escalation scenario involving military action directed against Iran and Syria has been envisaged. TIRANNT was followed by a series of military plans pertaining to Iran. Numerous official statements and US military documents have pointed to an expanded Middle East war. What these shipments suggest is that the 'escalation scenario' not only prevails, but has reached a more active stage in the process of US-Israeli military planning. Whether these weapons will be used or not is not known. The central question, in this regard, is whether the Gaza invasion is part of a broader military adventure directed against Lebanon, Syria and Iran, in which heavier weaponry including US made bunker buster bombs will be used. History of US Weapons Shipments to Israel The stockpiling of US made bunker buster bombs by Israel has been ongoing since 2005:
The United States will sell Israel nearly 5,000 smart bombs in one of the largest weapons deals between the allies in years. Among the bombs the [Israeli] air force will get are 500 one-ton bunker busters that can penetrate two-meter-thick cement walls; 2,500 regular one-ton bombs; 1,000 half-ton bombs; and 500 quarter-ton bombs. The bombs Israel is acquiring include airborne versions, guidance units, training bombs and detonators. They are guided by an existing Israeli satellite used by the military. The sale will augment existing Israeli supplies of smart bombs. The Pentagon told Congress that the bombs are meant to maintain Israel's qualitative advantage [against Iran], and advance U.S. strategic and tactical interests. (Israel Virtual Library September 21-22, 2004, Haaretz / Jerusalem Post.)The actual shipments of US made bunker buster bombs started in 2005. Uranium coated munitions The US approved in April 2005, the delivery of:
Some 5,000 'smart air launched weapons' including some 500 BLU 109 'bunker-buster bombs. The (uranium coated) munitions are said to be more than 'adequate to address the full range of Iranian targets, with the possible exception of the buried facility at Natanz, which may require the [more powerful] BLU-113 bunker buster [a variant of the GBU 28]' See Michel Chossudovsky, Planned US-Israeli Nuclear Attack on Iran, Global Research, May 1, 2005)
Video of GBU 28 on UTube Move cursor from underneath to avoid popup of image description Used by US and Israel in Lebanon war The BLU-109 is smaller than the GBU 28: "It is a 2,000lbs warhead that can be used in combination with a GPS guidance kit [...], and can penetrate up to 15 feet of fortified concrete." (See F16.net) In 2006 at the height of the Lebanon War in August 2006, a major shipment of the 2.2 ton GBU 28 bombs, according to the New York Times, was dispatched to Israel. The GBU 28 is produced by Raytheon. It was used against Iraq in the 1991 Gulf War, has the the capability of penetrating some 20 feet of reinforced concrete. (Haaretz, 9 Nov 2008) In contrast to the GBU 39 smart bombs (130 kg) used against Gaza, each GBU-28 weighs a hefty 2.2 tons.
The Guided Bomb Unit-28 (GBU-28) is a special weapon developed for penetrating hardened Iraqi command centers located deep underground. The GBU-28 is a 5,000-pound laser-guided conventional munition that uses a 4,400-pound penetrating warhead. (Federation of American Scientists)(For a visual depiction see Bob Sherman, How the GBU-28 works (USA Today on-line.)
Financed by US military aid to Israel The recent unusually large shipments of weaponry to Israel are part of the 2004 agreement between Washington and Tel Aviv, financed by US military aid to Israel. As mentioned above, there is a history of delivery of bunker buster bombs (including the GBU 28), going back to 2005. While the nature and composition of these recent weapons shipments to Israel are not known, one suspects that they include the heavier version of the bunker buster bombs including the GBU-28. In this regard, it is worth noting that last Summer, Israel requested the Pentagon to deliver GBU-28 bunker buster bombs. The stated purpose was to use them in the eventuality of a military operation directed against Iran. In September 2008, according to US and Israeli press reports quoting Pentagon officials, Tel Aviv's request was turned down. According to the reports, Washington categorically refused to deliver the shipment of GBU 28 bunker buster bombs, to be used to attack Iran's nuclear facilities. Provide a powerful 'new weapon' in Gaza 'Instead' Washington accepted to deliver the lightweight GBU-39 for use against Gaza.
The U.S. had "rejected an Israeli request for military equipment and support that would improve Israel's ability to attack Iran's nuclear facilities." The Americans viewed [Israel's] request, which was transmitted (and rejected) at the highest level, as a sign that Israel is in the advanced stages of preparations to attack Iran. They therefore warned Israel against attacking, saying such a strike would undermine American interests. They also demanded that Israel give them prior notice if it nevertheless decided to strike Iran. In early September, Haaretz reported that the request had included GBU-28 "bunker-buster" bombs. In mid-September, the U.S. agreed instead to sell Israel 1000 GBU-39 'bunker buster; bombs which Israeli military experts said "could provide a powerful new weapon" in Gaza, AP reported. So: when Israel requested weapons that the U.S. expected would be used for bombing Iran, the U.S. said no, and added explicitly that it did not want to see an Israeli attack on Iran. And there was no Israeli attack on Iran. ( Defense Update.com, December 2008)
Media Disinformation The official statements and press reports are bogus. Israel and the US have always acted in close coordination. Washington does not "demand that Israel give them prior notice" of a military operation: The report in Haaretz suggests that the Bush Administration was adamant and did not want the Israelis to attack Iran. In fact, the reports suggested that the US would shoot down Israeli planes, if they tried to attack Iran:
Air-space authorization: An attack on Iran would apparently require passage through Iraqi air space. For this to occur, an air corridor would be needed that Israeli fighter jets could cross without being targeted by American planes or anti-aircraft missiles. The Americans also turned down this request. According to one account, to avoid the issue, the Americans told the Israelis to ask Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki for permission, along the lines of "If you want, coordinate with him. (Haaretz Nov 9, 2008)This Israeli report is misleading. Israel is America's ally. Military operations are closely coordinated. Israel does not act without Washington's approval and the US does not shoot down the planes of its closest ally.
The Nature and Composition of the Recent US Weapons Shipments to Israel These unusually large shipments of ordinance would normally require Congressional approval. To our knowledge, there is no public record of approval of the unusually large shipments of heavy "ammunition" to Israel. The nature and composition of the shipments are not known. Was Israel's request for the delivery of the 2.2 ton GBU 28 accepted by Washington, bypassing the US Congress? Are GBU 28 bombs, each of which weighs 2.2 tons part of the 3000 ton shipments to Israel? Are tactical bunker buster mini-nuclear bombs included in Israel's arsenal? These are questions to be raised in the US Congress. The two shipments of "ammunition" are slated to arrive in Israel, respectively no later than the 25th and 31st of January. Secretary Robert Gates who remains at the helm of the Department of Defense ensures continuity in the military agenda. Preparing for a Confrontation with Iran: Beefing Up Israel's Missile Defense System In early January, the Pentagon dispatched some 100 military personnel to Israel from US European Command (EUCOM) to assist Israel in setting up a new sophisticated X-band early warning radar system.
This project is part of the military aid package to Israel approved by the Pentagon in September 2008:
The Israeli government requested the system to help defend against a potential missile attack from Iran. Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates signed off on the deployment order in mid-September. .... Once fully operational, the system will be capable of tracking and identifying small objects at long distance and at very high altitude, including space, according to U.S. Missile Defense Agency officials. It also will integrate Israel's missile defenses with the U.S. global missile detection network. "This will enable the Israelis to track medium- and long-range ballistic missiles multiple times better than their current radar allows them to," Morrell said. "It will … more than double the range of Israel's missile defense radars and increase its available engagement time." This, he said, will greatly enhance Israel's defensive capabilities. "There is a growing ballistic missile threat in the region, particularly from Iran," Morrell said. "And no one in the region should feel more nervous about that threat than the Israelis. "And they clearly do, and they have asked for our assistance." (Defense Talk.com, January 6, 2009 )
The new X-band radar system "permits an intercept soon after launch over enemy instead of friendly territory." (Sen. Joseph Azzolina: Protecting Israel from Iran's missiles Bayshore News, December 26, 2008). The X-band radar would "integrate Israel's missile defenses with the U.S. global missile detection network, which includes satellites, Aegis ships on the Mediterranean, Persian Gulf and Red Sea, and land-based Patriot radars and interceptors." (Ibid) What this means is that Washington calls the shots. The US rather than Israel would control the Air Defense system:
'This is and will remain a U.S. radar system,' Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said. 'So this is not something we are giving or selling to the Israelis and it is something that will likely require U.S. personnel on-site to operate.' (Quoted in Israel National News January 9, 2009).In other words, the US military controls Israel's Air Defense system, which is integrated into the US global missile defense system. Under these circumstances, Israel cannot launch a war against Iran without the consent of the US High Command. The large shipments of US ordinance, slated to arrive in Israel after the inauguration of Barack Obama as President of the United States and Commander in Chief are part of the broader program of US-Israeli military cooperation in relation to Iran. [Perhaps Kewe.info perhaps it is to kill more people in Gaza and the West Bank of Palestine. Perhaps it is to have weapons so Israel and the US can kill and injure more people wherever they are in the world, because that it what the criminal military and governments of Israel and the US do.]
The reinforcement of Israel's missile defenses combined with the large shipments of US weapons are part of an escalation scenario, which could lead the World under an Obama Administration into a broader Middle East war. New Cold War? There has been a military build on both sides. Iran has responded to the Israeli-US initiative, by beefing up it own missile defense system with the support of Russia. According to reports (December 21), Moscow and Tehran have been holding talks on the supply by Russia of "medium-range air defense systems specifically, S-300 surface-to-air missile systems" (Asian Times January 9, 2009) Additional subtitles and images inserted by Kewe.info

This article below from:
The Daily Life of Kawther Salam http://www.kawther.info/ US Officers planned the Beit Hanoun Massacre
If you find the images in this article revolting, like me, think of the following: people everywhere in Palestine see such images on a daily basis not as pictures but live and anywhere they go, and that this genocide is supported equally by ALL western countries, the EU and the UN. If you live in any "western" country, your taxes are very probably financing what you see here. Speak with your politicians if you do not like what you see. When the psychopaths and moral degenerates who commit these acts with the help of your governments stop commiting them, I (and others) will stop publishing these images.
Since the criminal State of Israel denied me the right to work as a journalist in my homeland Palestine and forced me to flee to Europe, I often ask myself why the U.S.A does not stop donating to Israel the bombs which they use against the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. What, ever, have we done to the USA? Why did the U.S.A send military detachments to Israel after the Israeli lost the war in the south of Lebanon? The Israeli military radio, 'Tsahal Radio' announced these news. They said that the American detachment of officers had arrived in Israel to take part in the 'Autumn Clouds' operation in Gaza. That they helped the Israeli military to perform their 'killing duties' without any loss. American officers were involved in the last Beit Hanoun massacre, in which in one incident 20 Palestinians were killed, at least 60 innocent children, old men and women were injured.
The question poses itself, why is the political discourse of the European countries still fixated on the crimes against the Jews over 60 years ago? All the while allowing and even supporting the perpetration of the big disaster which befalls my homeland Palestine? Why do all European politicians keep silence about all the crimes which the Israeli perpetrates in Palestine? Are they scared that the Jews will return to Europe, or are they themselves involved in these crimes? Is it logical that the European countries signed the convention against Genocide, and then they impose a siege against the Palestinian. Create conditions for real starvation for another nation in another land? Why does the international media impose a veil of silence over what is happening in Palestine? The concentration camps which are Gaza and the West Bank? Never anything comes out in the media, the TV, the newspapers. The media only relates minor incidents, or, in a hugely inflated manner, when something small happens against the Israeli occupation terrorists. As far as I am concerned, all the western media is complicit in this genocide.
The Beit Hanoun massacre, a day of bloody clouds.
On November 1, 2006, the number of the Palestinians who were killed in Gaza during the 'Autumn Clouds' Israeli military terror operation reached 86, and at least 265 were injured. This happened before the criminals of the Israeli State perpetrated the now generally known massacre in Beit Hanoun. The morning of November 8, 2006, Israeli tanks shelled Palestinians in their homes in the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanoun. They fired eleven shells into six homes, killing at least 20 Palestinians, wounding some 60 more. The Irony is that this attack comes a day after Israeli troops pulled out of the town after a week-long offensive in which dozens of Palestinian died, and hundreds were injured. A person from Gaza, who also sent me most of the pictures of this article, posted this on that day:
It has been the 7th day of the israeli aggression against citizens in gaza strip town of Bieth Hanoon, till this moment they have killed more than 90 citizen withen those 7 days. What is most important about this, is the kind of strange weapons used in the attack. These bombs explode in a strange way to make fatal damage of human body. Cuts and burns more than any bomb we have ever experienced ... so this is why the number of kills is very high till now. And for the most important even the wonded, thay almost have no hope to cure, as the damage that happens to their bodys .. the Palestinian Health ministray believes that some nuclear radiations might be contented in these weapons, as they can not really understand what is going on till now. As i said more than 90 were killed and more than 500 wonded, tens in danger ... and more than 100 handdicapped as the type of weapons they use .. The israelis destroyed many houses, and they killed many trees in simple words a New Jenin Camp. If you remember what happened in Jenen, they destroyed roads, electricity and water nets.. in simple words what happened was an earth quack. During searching some houses they stole what they found, some cellphones and PCs and gold. What is happpening now that they Israelis partially withdrawn from Beith Hanoon, but not completely as some media say. For that more than 9 were killed yesterday morning by Israeli snipers, or air raids and the army still ocuupying and having terrorist militant activities against civils. Tonight some thing that happened which might be good to consider here, is an Israeli airstrike against the house of Jamila AL-Shanty, the member of the Palestinian Legaslative Council. This caused the death of her sister and her sister's husband and an other passerby. About the school bus that happened the day before, they shot the female teacher inside the bus in front of little kids about 4 and 5 years old. Imagine how would they grow up? Today there has been aggression using arsenal. The Israeli arsenal killed more than 20 civilians as they bombed houses over the heads of the inhabitants. So many kids and women were killed or injured this morning..."
Each time I read about the criminal Israeli operation in Gaza, seeing the increase in the number of the civilian victims, I swallowed my pain and closed the computer. Until that evening, a day after the Beit Hanoun massacre, when I saw a group of Jews lead a demonstration against an Austrian rightist group which has its office near my house. Suddenly the questions started coming: How can it be that such a criminal nation has the gut to complain about the deplorable things which befell them in the past? While they are perpetrating massacres and crimes on a daily basis. Often worse than the most extreme crimes attributed to the Nazis. Against the civilians of another nation. The Palestinian population jailed in Gaza and the West Bank?
The Israeli practices in Gaza and the West Bank is indescribable. The daily crimes of Israel in Palestine are uncountable. Their hateful and shameless incitements against the Arab world increase day after day.... In Beit Hanoun, some of the shells landed on a home, killing 11 members of one family called Al-'Athamneh, including a 9-year-old child and a 73-year-old woman. The other shells landed on other five homes at Hamad Street in Beit Hanoun. Other victims were from the Al-Kafarneh family. Muhammad Athamneh described the massacre to Palestinian newspaper Hayat Al-Jadidah. He said that the killed were children, women, and old men, that they had killed his mother, sister, uncle and his six sons, and four sons of his second uncle.
Athamneh said that it was 5:30 at the morning, everybody were sleeping, when they heared the very strong blast of the first explosion which landed at his cousins house, followed by screaming and crying. He ran out, found his relatives, old and young men running in the streets, escaping from the shelling and looking for protection in other places, but that this did not help them to escape from the Israeli shelling. The "Autumn Clouds" rained missiles on their heads. They all were killed on the roads. The whole place was converted into a collective grave. Athamneh was shocked, he did not know how to save the life of his family and relatives, everybody was bleeding and the floor was covered by a big pool of blood! He saw the horrible death in front of his eyes. His cousin's wife died with her two children while he was screaming and seeking the Ambulance. Nobody was able to come near under the heavy, blind shelling killing everybody moving in the area. The sky rained blood that day.
Today Saturday, the US, who said in advance that Israel has the right to defend itself and gave the Palestinian resistance the responsibility for the massacre, vetoed a draft UN Security Council resolution condemning an Israeli attack in the Gaza Strip that killed 20 Palestinian civilians and injured more 60. The disgusting American Psychopath Bolton described the text as 'unbalanced' and 'biased against Israel and politically motivated'. Does anyone wonder why the Palestinian resistance is shooting missiles toward Israel, which by the way never really reach anything? The reason is simple: the big concentration camp which is Gaza, where a million and a half people are caged, impoverished and hungry, and where almost all civilian infrastructure has been left in ruins caused by Israel. The increased poverty and real hunger which the Palestinians suffer in their reclusion: The shortage of food for the children, The damaged infrastructure which the occupation left behind, The closed entrances of the city, The daily killings and destruction including the bombing of the power station in Gaza, These reasons are enough for anyone to fight against the Genocide and look for a better life to live. Does anyone wonder how much the face of the Israeli occupation is bloody, ugly and inhuman? Does anybody wonder how much the American leaders are criminals in their support to Israel? When will the world give Israel a firm ultimatum to stop the occupation, the genocide which has been going on for about 60 years now?
Seeking International Military Forces in Palestine
Why did the European politicians not adopt the request of the Palestinians, who asked for European military forces to be sent to Palestine to protect them and the infrastructure from the Israeli crimes? We are really seeking International military forces to stop the bloody crimes against Palestine, to make a halfways normal life possible. The Palestinians Authority does not really exist any more. Abbas and the people around him don't have even the power to protect their underpants. The Palestinian civilians lost their trust to the P.A. long time ago, when it became evident that they are a bunch of corrupt, sold-out traitors. The Palestinian civilians are seeking protection against the Israel criminals, and they will be thankful for anybody who will stop the crimes commited against them. Please, send military forces to stop the Israeli rampage in Gaza and the West Bank. Part of the images here come from the Al-Ittihad newspaper, part of them were submitted by somebody from Beit Hanoun who lost seven friends and relatives during this last Israeli rampage. His only comment was "that's life", because he knows, as all those who live in Gaza, that his life is worth nothing.
The United States will stand with Israel
now and forever. Now and forever.
29 July 2007
Israel hails US military aid rise Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has confirmed that the United States is planning a significant increase in military and government aid to Israel.
|An apocalypse of Evil being created
The Day the World Ended 9/11, Three Years On A lot can happen in three years. In the United States since 9/11, about 4,000 children died from child abuse and neglect; in more than 80 percent of cases, parents were the perpetrators. About 36,000 Americans died from unnecessary surgery. Another 21,000 died from medication errors in hospitals, along with another 60,000 from other errors in hospitals. Adverse reactions to prescription drugs killed about 100,000. Roughly 10,000 Americans died from accidental drowning. About 2,100 died from bicycle accidents. Homicidal Americans killing other Americans took another roughly 60,000 lives. Suicide took more than 90,000. Traffic deaths amounted to well over 120,000. Despite all of America's mayhem and death (more than 7,000,000 Americans died in the last three years, including the clearly avoidable ones listed above plus hundreds of thousands not listed that were at least in part avoidable), the subject of 9/11 is never allowed to rest. About 3,000 Americans died on 9/11 in a spectacular act of hatred and vengeance, carried out, so far as we know, by 19 men, all of whom were themselves consumed.
Careless abuse of power Those who attacked America certainly did not do so because they hated democracy or rights, no matter what President Muffinmouth keeps deliriously muttering. Likely, they would not even have understood such concepts, coming as they did from cultures where conditions prevail comparable to those of centuries ago in Europe. But anyone understands abuse and bullying, and it is America's terrible, careless abuse of its wealth and power to which they were violently responding. Abject political cowardice Bought-and-paid-for status In a Congress which consistently fails to remedy America's social ills, its members always disparaging sensible regulation and rules to cover their abject political cowardice and bought-and-paid-for status, it took no time to start a war, even though it was clear that no nation had attacked the United States, and to pass legislation more repressive than any possible regulation. Scene after scene of America's grunting, spewing legislators resembled life imitating art in the form of a movie for teen-agers, The Planet of Apes.
One of the most effective ways I found was to follow the bulldozers and construction machinery.
I was in Iraq to research the so-called reconstruction. And what struck me most was the absence of reconstruction machinery, of cranes and bulldozers, in downtown Baghdad. I expected to see reconstruction all over the place. I saw bulldozers in military bases. I saw bulldozers in the Green Zone, where a huge amount of construction was going on, building up Bechtel's headquarters and getting the new U.S. embassy ready. There was also a ton of construction going on at all of the U.S. military bases. But, on the streets of Baghdad, the former ministry buildings are absolutely untouched. They hadn't even cleared away the rubble, let alone started the reconstruction process. The one crane I saw in the streets of Baghdad was hoisting an advertising billboard. One of the surreal things about Baghdad is that the old city lies in ruins, yet there are these shiny new billboards advertising the glories of the global economy.
Over time I was increasingly shocked by the speed and ease with which many intelligent and seemingly competent members of the CFR [ Council on Foreign Relations ] appeared to eagerly justify policies and actions that supported growing corruption.
The regularity with which many CFR members would protect insiders from accountability regarding another appalling fraud surprised even me. Many of them seemed delighted with the advantages of being an insider while being entirely indifferent to the extraordinary cost to all citizens of having our lives, health and resources drained to increase insider wealth in a manner that violated the most basic principles of fiduciary obligation and respect for the law. In short, the CFR was operating in a win-lose economic paradigm that centralized economic and political power. I was trying to find a way for us to shift to a win-win economic paradigm that was by its nature decentralizing.

The Day the World Ended 9/11, Three Years On
By JOHN CHUCKMAN Whoever was responsible for 9/11 beyond those who killed themselves, the U.S. responded by spending tens of billions of dollars to invade two nations. Billions more were spent stuffing already-bloated intelligence agencies like geese being prepared for pâté de foie gras and cranking up the megawatts snapping and crackling through the wires to the nation's military Frankenstein. Wasted money might have done many fine things for the world The money wasted on killing and maiming in Iraq might have done many fine things for the world. It might have built fine new schools in every wretched ghetto and backwater across the United States. It might have been used to launch an historic alternate-energy program, bringing down costs dramatically for technologies such as solar cells, contributing to the future well-being of all of humanity. Even a small portion of it could have done some spectacular things for fundamental science or medicine. Another small portion would have generously funded the simple technologies used for bringing clean drinking water to parts of the Indian subcontinent where arsenic and other compounds slowly poison millions year after year.
The possibilities are almost endless. Psychotic fantasy called the war on terror But no, it all went to a destructive, psychotic fantasy called the war on terror (and more specifically to invade a place where, much as in the old Soviet Union, terror was never tolerated for a second). It should be clear, there can be no such thing as a war on terror, because terror is not a society or a regime or an army or even an ideology. Terror is a violent response to severe grievances. You can work hard to track down specific law-breakers and you can enhance security measures and you can work to redress grievances all these are reasonable and fitting things to do but there is no place or army that you can attack with any meaningful purpose. Of course, that simple fact hasn't stopped America from instituting vast new abuses in the name of fighting a war on terror. As with the country's crusade against communism, the pointless violence reflects America's own shibboleths, fears, and internal politics rather than meaningful policy. Politics so utterly poisonous and corrupted American politics are so utterly poisonous and corrupted that the failure of one party to commit some barbarism abroad automatically is used by the other party as a visceral issue. When Bush speaks of a long-haul war against terror, he really means a renewal of the same cycle of vicious domestic politics with a new foreign bogeyman and new foreign victims.
America's press shows almost no interest Estimates of civilians killed by American forces in Iraq have been slow in coming. America's press shows almost no interest, perhaps taking its lead from a government which doesn't want the subject mentioned. But then, Daddy Bush never advertised how many he slaughtered in the brief, first Gulf War he started with subtle winks and suggestions to Hussein. It is certain that tens of thousands of pathetically-equipped conscripts died under waves of B-52s whose carpet bombing on the desert sealed the men in their own graves: cooked and packed underground by millions of pounds of high explosive. Quite recently, an Iraqi group announced what may be the best count in view of its language and network of contacts in every part of the country. It spent months talking to everyone from gravediggers to doctors, deliberately avoided counting military deaths, and came up with 37,000 civilian killed.
Slaughter of scores of civilians by sweltering, disgruntled, trigger-happy soldiers The immense suffering of a major part of the population who, overnight, lost the means to earn a living must be added to America's achievement, as well as the birth of violent resistance to occupation, an excellent laboratory for developing future generations of terrorists, and tidal waves of violent crime (things consistently under-reported in the U.S. press). Independent observers in Europe, including many British soldiers, have been taken aback by the violence and heavy-handedness of America's occupation. The abuses documented in the published photos from Abu Ghraib prison (and there are many others not published) show a small part of what American soldiers have done. Consider one clear instance, fairly typical according to witnesses in Iraq brave enough to speak up and at least one Marine non-commissioned officer who has left the service, the Pentagon-invented Battle of Samara. Headlined in America's press as a remarkable American victory, it was actually a slaughter of scores of civilians by sweltering, disgruntled, trigger-happy soldiers. Orwellian fantasies of Fox News and CNN Only devotees of the Orwellian fantasies of Fox News and CNN and those who depend on Defense Department contracts for a living (and, sadly, that is now a truly gigantic number in the U.S.) ever accepted Bush's claims about Iraq. Recent American stories about "they knew," referring to the fact that Bush was informed by outsiders of the weak nature of his claims, are bitterly amusing. The world was awash in good information that told us Bush was lying before the invasion. It came from past weapons inspectors, current weapons inspectors, Iraqi refugees, diplomats, national leaders, and scrupulous journalists (a category that notably excluded employees of the New York Times and Washington Post). As it always does, understanding the truth required that essential skill, prized by courts everywhere, of evaluating the credibility of each witness.
In Bush's case, this was an open-and-shut judgment for anyone with powers of observation. The man's every word is shrill and hollow. Sane voices coming from outside their nearly hermetically-sealed society America's stubborn refusal to think was broadcast to the world in childish demonstrations of antipathy towards France restaurant owners pouring vintage wines down the drain and, to a lesser extent, Canada. Had Americans just listened to sane voices coming from outside their nearly hermetically-sealed society, about 1,000 of their soldiers now dead would be alive, taxpayers would be at least 100,000,000,000 dollars richer, oil prices wouldn't be setting record highs, and the country would not be facing a years-long burden in Iraq, something, by the way, that is not going to change in the slightest if John Kerry is elected. (No one should forget, although the Democratic candidate strains the meaning of words to maintain otherwise, Kerry voted with the thumping, spewing gorillas to launch the war).

The Day the World Ended 9/11, Three Years On
By JOHN CHUCKMAN Of course, more Americans and others working for Americans have died than the 1,000 or so soldiers. For in this disgraceful war, America farmed-out substantial occupation duties to richly-paid private contractors people once known, before the dawn of political correctness, as mercenaries or assassins. No effort is even made to keep track of how many of these are killed although I doubt many people much care. Many small stories of 9/11 remain untold. I do not mean the kind of mawkish-tabloid stories that will be featured on the anniversary, but stories that help explain what happened afterward. Just in case One of mine concerns an American woman I know who left her job that morning and frantically raced around to gather her three children from schools and daycare and take them home, just in case, any terrorists were going to sacrifice their lives to send airliners hurling into rural Maine. Of course, the odds infinitesimally small as they were were at least the same that any airliners would crash near her house located in a more populated area. A deadly road accident during her frenetic car trip was a far more likely outcome than avoiding another hijacked plane crashing. Spend one day with an Iraqi family surrounded by violence and ruin The point of the story was repeated only recently in testimony at Congressional hearings by members of "9/11 families," an American lobby group of professional victims, some of whom made flatly ridiculous statements about the country being unprepared for another attack, including Twilight Zone stuff about little Elizabeth or Kyle not being able to play outside safely. (Good God, one wishes such people could spend one day with a miserable Iraqi family cooped up in a shattered apartment surrounded by violence and ruin so that they truly understood what terror is.) Well, I do suppose a twenty-foot wall could be built around America and all of its possessions and embassies abroad with all planes and boats being required to stop outside for complete inspection, but in an age of globalization and the huge economic gains being made from it, it does seem an unpromising idea.
Irrationality of American society Both stories are measures of the terrible job America's press does informing people on politically-sensitive matters and of the irrationality so commonly observed in American society. Fantasy concerning even the realities of their own country Americans behave this way partly because they have so little understanding of the world and live in a fantasy concerning even the realities of their own country. American television doesn't ever show pictures of the country's dead, abused or murdered children although there are plenty of them. (Anymore than it showed the pictures of piteous Iraqi children mangled by bombs.) But for videos of the planes striking the World Trade Center, networks left the replay switch in the "on" position for weeks. The flashing-message signs at service-station gas pumps are not used to remind motorists of dead kids in their neighborhood. Reinforcing paranoid conceptions But they sure were used to blink out idiotic slogans like "Never Forget!" over and over after 9/11. It all became something of a national computer game with life-like graphics, frightening and titillating Americans, reinforcing paranoid conceptions.

By JOHN CHUCKMAN So far as the world is concerned, it might be fine were Americans to remain happily cocooned in their fantasies, if only they didn't leave their bloody set of butcher's tools in the hands of some of the world's most ignorant and dreadful elected leaders. Exist solely to bully and intimidate and overthrow These armies and weapons are never used to defend democracy or freedom or human rights (or even to stop the several horrifying genocides that have taken place in recent decades) in fact, there exists no threat to America requiring such huge armies and dreadfully destructive machines they exist solely to bully and intimidate and overthrow. Human rights-respecting democracy? Can you think of one example of America displaying behavior that might be regarded as that of a human rights-respecting democracy towards Iraq and its neighborhood? Would you include actively supporting the tyrant Hussein for many years? Supplying him the means to wage chemical warfare during the Iran-Iraq war? Supporting the tyrant Shah in neighboring Iran for decades, right down to the day of his death in exile? Shooting down an Iranian airliner full of civilians with no apologies or proper compensation? Kissinger's duplicitous promises to the Kurds when they proved briefly useful? Pushing American forces into view near the holy places of Saudi Arabia after the first Gulf War?

I wish, too, they had the imagination and will to understand that nothing has changed with American policies which literally assembled the forms and poured the concrete foundation for 9/11. More violence and lunacy All that has changed is that America has spent immense resources to pitch the world into more violence and lunacy. Osama bin Laden or whoever was responsible for 9/11 must sit back on the anniversary date quietly chuckling as he reflects on his achievement, not only because he was able to see all of this happen at the mere cost of 19 followers, but because it is so stunningly clear that America still doesn't get it.

Transcript of interview with Niels Harrit on Danish TV2 News 6th April 2009. Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe Danish TV2 International researchers have found traces of explosives among the World Trade Center rubble.
A new scientific article concludes that impacts from the two hijacked aircraft did not cause the collapses in 2001. We turn our attention to 9/11 the major attack in New York. Apparently the two airplane-impacts did not cause the towers to collapse, according to a newly published scientific article. Researchers found nano-thermite explosive in the rubble, that cannot have come from the planes. They believe several tonnes of explosives were placed in the buildings in advance. Niels Harrit, you and eight other researchers conclude in this article, that it was nano-thermite that caused these buildings to collapse. What is nano-thermite? Niels Harrit We found nano-thermite in the rubble. We are not saying only nano-thermite was used. Thermite itself dates back to 1893. It is a mixture of aluminum and rust-powder, which react to create intense heat. The reaction produces iron, heated to 2500 °C. This can be used to do welding. It can also be used to melt other iron. Nanotechnology makes things smaller. So in nano-thermite, this powder from 1893 is reduced to tiny particles, perfectly mixed. When these react, the intense heat develops much more quickly. Nano-thermite can be mixed with additives to give off intense heat, or serve as a very effective explosive. It contains more energy than dynamite, and can be used as rocket fuel. Danish TV2 I Googled nano-thermite, and not much has been written about it. Is it a widely known scientific substance? Or is it so new that other scientists are hardly aware of it? Niels Harrit It is a collective name for substances with high levels of energy. If civilian researchers (like myself) are not familiar with it, it is probably because they do not do much work with explosives. As for military scientists, you would have to ask them. I do not know how familiar they are with nanotechnology. Danish TV2 So you found this substance in the WTC, why do you think it caused the collapses? Niels Harrit Well, it's an explosive. Why else would it be there? Danish TV2 You believe the intense heat melted the building?s steel support structure, and caused the building to collapse like a house of cards? Niels Harrit I cannot say precisely, as this substance can serve both purposes. It can explode and break things apart, and it can melt things. Both effects were probably used, as I see it. Molten metal pours out of the South Tower several minutes before the collapse. This indicates the whole structure was being weakened in advance. Then the regular explosives come into play. The actual collapse sequence had to be perfectly timed, all the way down. Danish TV2 What quantities are we talking about? Niels Harrit A lot. There were only two planes, but three skyscrapers collapsed. We know roughly how much dust was created. The pictures show huge quantities, everything but the steel was pulverised. And we know roughly how much unreacted thermite we have found.
This is the "loaded gun", material that did not ignite for some reason. We are talking about tonnes. Over 10 tonnes, possibly 100 tonnes. Danish TV2 Ten tonnes, possibly 100 tonnes, in three buildings? And these substances are not normally found in such buildings? Niels Harrit No. These materials are extremely advanced. Danish TV2 How do you place such material in a skyscraper, on all the floors? Niels Harrit How you would get it in? Danish TV2 Yes. Niels Harrit If I had to transport it in those quantities I would use pallets. Get a truck and move it in on pallets. Danish TV2 Why hasn't this been discovered earlier? Niels Harrit By whom? Danish TV2 The caretakers, for example. If you are moving 10 to 100 tonnes of nano-thermite around, and placing it on all the floors. I am just surprised no-one noticed. Niels Harrit As a journalist, you should address that question to the company responsible for security at the WTC. Danish TV2 So you are in no doubt the material was present? Niels Harrit You cannot fudge this kind of science. We have found it. Unreacted thermite. Danish TV2 What responses has your article received around the world? Niels Harrit It is completely new knowledge for me. It was only published last Friday. So it is too early to say. But the article may not be as groundbreaking as you think. Hundreds of thousands of people around the world, have long known that the three buildings were demolished.
This has been crystal clear. Our research is just the last nail in the coffin. This is not the 'smoking gun', it is the 'loaded gun'. Each day, thousands of people realise that the WTC was demolished. That is something unstoppable. Danish TV2 Why has no-one discovered earlier that there was nano-thermite in the buildings? Almost ten years have passed. Niels Harrit You mean in the dust? Danish TV2 Yes. Niels Harrit It was by chance that someone looked at the dust with a microscope. They are tiny red chips. The biggest are 1 mm in size, and can be seen with the naked eye. But you need a microscope to see the vast majority. It was by chance that someone discovered them two years ago. Danish TV2 It has taken 18 months to prepare the scientific article you refer to. Niels Harrit It is a very comprehensive article based on thorough research. Danish TV2 You have been working on this for several years, because it didn't make sense to you. Niels Harrit Yes, over two years actually. It all started when I saw the collapse of Building 7, the third skyscraper. It collapsed seven hours after the twin towers. And there were only two airplanes. When you see a 47-storey building, 186m tall, collapse in 6.5 seconds, and you are a scientist, you think "what?". I had to watch it again… and again. I hit the button 10 times, and my jaw dropped lower and lower. Firstly, I had never heard of that building before. And there was no visible reason why it should collapse in that way, straight down, in 6.5 seconds. I have had no rest since that day. Danish TV2 Ever since 9/11 there has been speculation, and conspiracy theories. What do you say to viewers who hear about your research and say, "we?ve heard it all before, there are lots of conspiracy theories". What would you say to convince them that this is different? Niels Harrit I think there is only one conspiracy theory worth mentioning, the one involving 19 hijackers. I think viewers should ask themselves what evidence they have seen to support the official conspiracy theory. If anyone has seen evidence, I would like to hear about it No-one has been formally charged. No-one is 'wanted'. Our work should lead to demands for a proper criminal investigation of the 9/11 terrorist attack. Because it never happened. We are still waiting for it. We hope our results will be used as technical evidence when that day comes. Danish TV2 Niels Harrit, fascinating, thanks for coming in. Niels Harrit My pleasure
It's common knowledge, he reveals
CIA Mossad behind terror attacks
By the Staff of American Free Press
Former Italian President Francesco Cossiga, who revealed the existence of Operation Gladio, has told Italy's oldest and most widely read newspaper that the 9-11 terrorist attacks were run by the CIA and Mossad, and that this was common knowledge among global intelligence agencies. In what translates awkwardly into English, Cossiga told the newspaper Corriere della Sera:
"All the [intelligence services] of America and Europe… know well that the disastrous attack has been planned and realized from the Mossad, with the aid of the Zionist world in order to put under accusation the Arabic countries and in order to induce the western powers to take part … in Iraq [and] Afghanistan."Cossiga was elected president of the Italian Senate in July 1983 before winning a landslide election to become president of the country in 1985, and he remained until 1992. Cossiga's tendency to be outspoken upset the Italian political establishment, and he was forced to resign after revealing the existence of, and his part in setting up, Operation Gladio. This was a rogue intelligence network under NATO auspices that carried out bombings across Europe in the 1960s, 1970s and '80s. Gladio's specialty was to carry out what they termed 'false flag' operations terror attacks that were blamed on their domestic and geopolitical opposition. In March 2001, Gladio agent Vincenzo Vinciguerra stated, in sworn testimony:
"You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple: to force … the public to turn to the state to ask for greater security."Cossiga first expressed his doubts about 9-11 in 2001, and is quoted by 9-11 researcher Webster Tarpley saying:
"The mastermind of the attack must have been a sophisticated mind, provided with ample means not only to recruit fanatic kamikazes, but also highly specialized personnel. I add one thing: it could not be accomplished without infiltrations in the radar and flight security personnel."Coming from a widely respected former head of state, Cossiga's assertion that the 9-11 attacks were an inside job and that this is common knowledge among global intelligence agencies is illuminating. It is one more eye-opening confirmation that has not been mentioned by America's propaganda machine in print or on TV. Nevertheless, because of his experience and status in the world, Cossiga cannot be discounted as a crackpot.

US to Develop New Hydrogen Bomb
by Ralph Vartabedian
The Energy Department will announce today a contract to develop the nation's first new hydrogen bomb in two decades, involving a collaboration between three national weapons laboratories, The Times has learned. The new bomb will include design features from all three labs, though Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the Bay Area appears to have taken the lead position in the project. The Los Alamos and Sandia labs in New Mexico will also be part of the project.

UK jets 'chase Russian bombers'
The UK's Royal Air Force has launched fighter jets to intercept eight Russian military planes flying in airspace patrolled by Nato, UK officials say. Four RAF F3 Tornado aircraft were scrambled in response to the Russian action, the UK's defence ministry said. The Russian planes - said to be long-range bombers - had earlier been followed by Norwegian F16 jets. Russia recently revived a Cold War-era practice of flying bombers on long-range patrols. A Norwegian officer, Lt Col John Inge Oegland, told the BBC the Russian Tupolev Tu-95 Bear bombers flew in international airspace from the Barents Sea to the Atlantic, before turning back. Two Norwegian F-16s shadowed them on Thursday morning and another two went up later, he said. There have been several similar incidents in recent months, Lt-Col Oegland added. "Norway is following the increased Russian activity in the far north with interest," he told the BBC News website. He said the Russian flights were not causing alarm in Norway. "Our systems are adequate," he said, when asked whether Norway was bolstering its security in the area.
The reader can appreciate why Wall Street would welcome someone as accommodating as Gorelick at Fannie Mae. This was a period when the profits rolled in from engineering the most spectacular growth in mortgage debt in U.S. history. As one real estate broker said, "They have turned our homes into ATM machines." Fannie Mae has been a leading player in centralizing control of the mortgage markets into Washington D.C. and Wall Street. And that means as people were rounded up and shipped to prison as part of Operation Safe Home, Fannie was right behind to finance the gentrification of neighborhoods. And that is before we ask questions about the extent to which the estimated annual financial flows of $500 billion–$1 trillion money laundering through the U.S. financial system or money missing from the US government are reinvested into Fannie Mae securities.
James Forrestal's oil portrait always hung prominently in one of the private Dillon Read dining rooms for the eleven years that I worked at the firm. Forrestal, a highly regarded Dillon partner and President of the firm, had gone to Washington, D.C. in 1940 to lead the Navy during WWII and then played a critical role in creating the National Security Act of 1947. He then became Secretary of War (later termed Secretary of Defense) in September 1947 and served until March 28, 1949. Given the central banking-warfare investment model that rules our planet, it was appropriate that Dillon partners at various times lead both the Treasury Department and the Defense Department. Shortly after resigning from government, Forrestal died falling out of a window of the Bethesda Naval Hospital outside of Washington, D.C. on May 22, 1949. There is some controversy around the official explanation of his death ruled a suicide. Some insist he had a nervous breakdown. Some say that he was opposed to the creation of the state of Israel. Others say that he argued for transparency and accountability in government, and against the provisions instituted at this time to create a secrete "black budget." He lost and was pretty upset about it and the loss was a violent one. Since the professional killers who operate inside the Washington beltway have numerous techniques to get perfectly sane people to kill themselves, I am not sure it makes a big difference. Approximately a month later, the CIA Act of 1949 was passed. The Act created the CIA and endowed it with the statutory authority that became one of the chief components of financing the "black" budget the power to claw monies from other agencies for the benefit of secretly funding the intelligence communities and their corporate contractors. This was to turn out to be a devastating development for the forces of transparency, without which there can be no rule of law, free markets or democracy.

What Briody does not mention is allegations regarding Brown & Root's involvement in narcotics trafficking. Former LAPD narcotics investigator Mike Ruppert once described his break up with fiance Teddy an agent dealing narcotics and weapons for the CIA while working with Brown & Root, as follows:
"Arriving in New Orleans in early July, 1977 I found her living in an apartment across the river in Gretna. Equipped with scrambler phones, night vision devices and working from sealed communiqués delivered by naval and air force personnel from nearby Belle Chasse Naval Air Station, Teddy was involved in something truly ugly. She was arranging for large quantities of weapons to be loaded onto ships leaving for Iran. At the same time she was working with Mafia associates of New Orleans Mafia boss Carlos Marcello to coordinate the movement of service boats that were bringing large quantities of heroin into the city. The boats arrived at Marcello controlled docks, unmolested by even the New Orleans police she introduced me to, along with divers, military men, former Green Berets and CIA personnel. "The service boats were retrieving the heroin from oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, oil rigs in international waters, oil rigs built and serviced by Brown and Root. The guns that Teddy monitored, apparently Vietnam era surplus AK 47s and M16s, were being loaded onto ships also owned or leased by Brown and Root. And more than once during the eight days I spent in New Orleans I met and ate at restaurants with Brown and Root employees who were boarding those ships and leaving for Iran within days. Once, while leaving a bar and apparently having asked the wrong question, I was shot at in an attempt to scare me off."Source: "Halliburton's Brown and Root is One of the Major Components of the Bush-Cheney Drug Empire" by Michael Ruppert, From the Wilderness
The CIA led its contra army to spend the entire decade terrorizing the Nicaraguan people and their Sandinista government, happily allowing the contras to flood Los Angeles and other North American cities with cocaine to fund their efforts San Jose Mercury News executive editor Jerry Ceppos' cowardly retreat from Dark Alliance included deleting the website, and destroying thousands of undistributed CDROM versions of the site Gary Webb identifies the alliance at the root of his story as "the union of a U.S-backed army attempting to overthrow a revolutionary socialist government and the Uzi-toting 'gangstas' of Compton and South-Central Los Angeles."

The Clinton Administration took the groundwork laid by Nixon, Reagan and Bush and embraced and blossomed the expansion and promotion of federal support for police, enforcement and the War on Drugs with a passion that was hard to understand unless and until you realized that the American financial system was deeply dependent on attracting an estimated $500 billion-$1 trillion of annual money laundering. Globalizing corporations and deepening deficits and housing bubbles required attracting vast amounts of capital. Attracting capital also required making the world safe for the reinvestment of the profits of organized crime and the war machine. Without growing organized crime and military activities through government budgets and contracts, the economy would stop centralizing. The Clinton Administration was to govern a doubling of the federal prison population.

By all accounts, the unprecedented events of September 11th, 2001 changed the way our country functions, and in turn, the world. It is therefore critical that conscientious Americans, as well as people around the globe, understand these events in detail. Unfortunately the official reports, including The 9/11 Commission Report and the NIST WTC Report, written by those working under the direction of the Bush Administration, have been proven to be elaborate cover-ups.Film: 9/11 Revisited September 11th Revisited is perhaps the most riveting film ever made about the destruction of the World Trade Center. This is a powerful documentary which features eyewitness accounts and archived news footage that was shot on September 11, 2001 but never replayed on television. Featuring interviews with eyewitnesses & firefighters, along with expert analysis by Professor Steven E. Jones, Professor David Ray Griffin, MIT Engineer Jeffrey King, and Professor James H. Fetzer. This film provides stunning evidence that explosives were used in the complete demolition of the WTC Twin Towers and WTC Building 7.
For Film: 9/11 Revisited Click Here Film: 9/11 Press for Truth An excellent documentary about the families of the victims of 9/11 and their fight to uncover and expose the truth about what happened that day.
For Film: 9/11 Press for Truth Click Here Film: 9/11 Mysteries 90 minutes of pure demolition evidence and analysis, laced with staggering witness testimonials. Moving from "the myth" through "the analysis" and into "the players," careful deconstruction of the official story set right alongside clean, clear science. The 9/11 picture is not one of politics or nationalism or loyalty, but one of strict and simple physics. How do you get a 10-second 110-story pancake collapse?

Westerville Central High School's Miles Fisher will continue his football career at the U.S. Air Force Academy.
Fisher also received interest from the U.S Military Academy at West Point, along with Ivy League schools Brown, Cornell, Harvard and Penn.
Fisher previously received a nomination letter from Congressman Pat Tiberi (R-Genoa Township) to attend West Point, but later decided on Air Force.
"I went out there for a game in October, and I just loved it," Fisher said. "It's the best academically and Division I football, which you can't get anywhere else. It was just a great opportunity for me that I couldn't pass up."
Last season, Fisher led Central in rushing with 537 yards and three touchdowns on 96 carries. Fisher, who was also a standout in the Warhawks' defensive backfield, was second-team all-OCC-Cardinal.
"Coach (John) Magistro and my athletic director, Mr. (Andy) Ey, also put in a good word for me, and helped me along with this process, so has my father (Guy Fisher)," Fisher said. "We've been going back and forth, emailing coaches and everything."
Fisher rushed for a team-high 537 yards and three touchdowns on 96 carries and was named second-team all-OCC. He said the Air Force coaches have told him he will play strong safety.
The Warhawks finished 2-8 overall and 2-5 in the OCC-Cardinal Division last season.

ActiveSync installs okay, but it fails to detect the phone when it's connected via USB. When I click on the USB icon at the bottom of the VirtualPC window, the Mobile Phone is listed as being connected. Also, when I look in My Computer (within Windows), a mobile phone device is present). However, ActiveSync cannot seem to "see" that the phone is connected. Any thoughts? (I am aware that both Mark/Space Missing Sync and PocketMac are working on Windows Mobile 5.0 versions of their products; however, at this time, only Windows Mobile 2.0 devices are supported).

Have you ever been to Shoney's restaurant? It's a place in the South of the United States and they have some really yummy selections. To be honest, my favorite is their Hot Fudge Cake. Oh my I love that stuff. My favorite thing that isn't that cake is their Sausage and Rice. I've only had it when we have been there for their breakfast buffet, but it is really so good. Honestly, I don't know if it's sausage or ground beef in the dish, but I'm thinking sausage, since it's breakfast. Since I love it so much, I thought I would try my hand at a Healthy Sausage and Rice version. It's not exact, but it's pretty close and it's healthy, so that's awesome. Since we don't I've in the South anymore and since there are no Shoney's anywhere near us, it will work. Now if I could just find that cake.
Today is Foodie Extravaganza Day! You know what that means, right? This month the ingredient is pork and there are 15 bloggers sharing their pork recipes. Scroll to the bottom to see them all. I'm excited to check them all out myself. Lauren from the blog From Gate to Plate is our host this month.
I really love all the vegetable colors that are in this dish. I think the more colors of your vegetables, the more diverse your nutrients will be. I'm not a nutritionist, it just makes sense to me. Maybe I'm wrong. If I am, don't tell me.
Right now you may be thinking that sausage isn't all that good for you. It has sugar, corn syrup and MSG. Well, it's okay. I actually make my own. You can find the ingredients on this post. It is really easy and really good. Try it out.
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 cup celery, chopped
- 1 cup bell peppers, chopped (I used yellow, red and orange)
- 1 pound sausage (to make it healthy, use my recipe)
- ½ tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp celery seed
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 3 cups hot cooked brown rice
- salt and pepper to taste
- Heat olive oil in large skillet.
- Saute onion and celery until they are tender.
- Add sausage to pan and cook all the way through.
- Add the peppers and spices and cook until the peppers are warmed and cooked, about 5 mins.
- Add the rice and mix well.
- Simmer together for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
