Report of Superbowl False Flag Terror Attack

This report is based on "hunches".  I say go to the game and don't give in to weak intelligence.  If the Bowl goes down, we'll have more problems than a terror attack.
 
Too many people know 9/11 was an inside job for this to work.

I believe that there is a likely false-flag terror attack on the Superbowl this upcoming February 1st, 2009, based on the following information:

A) Just prior to the beginning of the season, the President of the NFL Players Association (NFLPA), Gene Upshaw died mysteriously despite being super healthy of Pancreatic cancer within 3 days. Gene may have been in the way of the operation.

B) The Arena Football league mysteriously canceled their 2009 season for no apparent reason, despite football being more popular than ever.

C) Playboy as of yesterday canceled their Superbowl party abruptly. Hugh Hefner has long been considered a political insider.

D) The Superbowl is in Tampa, FL, and we know the elite have total control over FL, because they stole an election there.

E) The Superbowl is the most watched event in the US and is seen worldwide. A perfect opportunity for Obama to play savior and avenge the deaths of the black players that will perish.

F) Kurt Warner the Arizona Quarterback is probably the most famous NFL Christian which would make a perfect poster boy for a retaliation.

G) Let's not forget the warning of the terrorists that will test Obama as Clinton, Albright, Biden, and Powell so aptly warned us about.

Please speak to this possible scenario on your radio show and forward the information. I have been unable to get through to the Alex Jones show, but maybe you will have better luck.

Military to pledge oath to Obama, not the Constitution?!

Military to Pledge Oath To Obama, Not Constitution

Secretary of Defense Robert Gates is extremely frustrated with orders that the White House is contemplating. According to sources at the Pentagon, including all branches of the armed forces, the Obama Administration may break with a centuries-old tradition.


A spokesman for General James Cartwright, the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, states that the Obama Administration wants to have soldiers and officers pledge a loyalty oath directly to the office of the President, and no longer to the Constitution.


"The oath to the Constitution is as old as the document itself." the spokesman said, "At no time in American history, not even in the Civil War, did the oath change or the subject of the oath differ. It has always been to the Constitution.
"

The back-and-forth between the White House and the Defense Department was expected as President George W. Bush left office. President Obama has already signed orders to close Guantanamo and to pull combat troops from Iraq. But, this, say many at the Defense Department, goes to far.


"Technically, we can't talk about it before it becomes official policy." the spokesman continued. "However, the Defense Department, including the Secretary, will not take this laying down. Expect a fight from the bureaucracy and the brass.
"

Sources at the White House had a different point of view. In a circular distributed by White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, the rationale for the change was made more clear.


"The President feels that the military has been too indoctrinated by the old harbingers of hate: nationalism, racism, and classism. By removing an oath to the American society, the soldiers are less likely to commit atrocities like those at Abu Ghraib.
"

"We expect a lot of flak over this," ! the clas sified memo continues. "But those that would be most against it are those looking either for attention or control.
"

The time frame for the changes are unknown. However, it is more likely that the changes will be made around the July 4th holiday, in order to dampen any potential backlash. The difference in the oath will actually only be slight. The main differences will be the new phrasing. It is expected that the oath to the Constitution will be entirely phased out within two years.

The chair of the House Judiciary Committee, John Conyers, has subpoenaed former White House adviser Karl Rove to testify next week about the Bush administration's firing of nine US attorneys and the prosecution of former Alabama governor Don Siegelman. Rove previously refused to appear before the panel, and former President Bush upheld his legal position. Rove's attorney, Robert Luskin, said he would consult with President Obama's White House counsel to determine the Obama administration's stance. We speak with attorney Scott Horton and former Alabama governor Don Siegelman.

Top 5 Myths About Closing Guantanamo | Rights and Liberties | AlterNet

 
 
MYTH #4 -- 61 RELEASED DETAINEES HAVE RETURNED TO THE BATTLEFIELD: One conservative talking point that has been especially effective at making its way into traditional media reporting is that 61 "of the people that were incarcerated at Guantanamo and then released have returned to the battlefield, have engaged in further terrorist activities," as CNN's Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr said yesterday. The Associated Press has made a similar claim. But in fact, as Media Matters has reported, "according to the Pentagon, the 61-detainee figure includes 43 former prisoners who are suspected of, but have not been confirmed as, having 'return[ed] to the fight.'" Bergen has also noted that "returning to the fight" could simply mean writing a negative op-ed. Mark Denbeaux, Director of the Seton Hall Law School Center for Policy and Research, has been tracking the Bush administration's claims. He told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, "Their numbers have changed from 20 to 12 to seven to more than five to two to a couple to a few -- 25, 29, 12 to 24. Every time, the number has been different. In fact, every time they give a number, they don't identify a date, a place, a time, a name or an incident to support their claim."

Rocks in Nevada's Lake Mead National Recreation Area had a white 'bathtub ring' in July 2007.
Ethan Miller

Nevada's Lake Mead had a white 'bathtub ring' upstream from the Hoover Dam in July 2007. A seven-year drought and increased water demand spurred by climate change and explosive population growth in the Southwest has caused the water level at Lake Mead, which supplies water to Las Vegas, Arizona and Southern California, to drop more than 100 feet to its lowest level since the 1960s.

All Things Considered, January 26, 2009 · Climate change is essentially irreversible, according to a sobering new scientific study.

As carbon dioxide emissions continue to rise, the world will experience more and more long-term environmental disruption. The damage will persist even when, and if, emissions are brought under control, says study author Susan Solomon, who is among the world's top climate scientists.

"We're used to thinking about pollution problems as things that we can fix," Solomon says. "Smog, we just cut back and everything will be better later. Or haze, you know, it'll go away pretty quickly."

That's the case for some of the gases that contribute to climate change, such as methane and nitrous oxide. But as Solomon and colleagues suggest in a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, it is not true for the most abundant greenhouse gas: carbon dioxide. Turning off the carbon dioxide emissions won't stop global warming.

"People have imagined that if we stopped emitting carbon dioxide that the climate would go back to normal in 100 years or 200 years. What we're showing here is that's not right. It's essentially an irreversible change that will last for more than a thousand years," Solomon says.

This is because the oceans are currently soaking up a lot of the planet's excess heat --- and a lot of the carbon dioxide put into the air. The carbon dioxide and heat will eventually start coming out of the ocean. And that will take place for many hundreds of years.

Solomon is a scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Her new study looked at the consequences of this long-term effect in terms of sea level rise and drought.

If we continue with business as usual for even a few more decades, she says, those emissions could be enough to create permanent dust-bowl conditions in the U.S. Southwest and around the Mediterranean.

"The sea level rise is a much slower thing, so it will take a long time to happen, but we will lock into it, based on the peak level of [carbon dioxide] we reach in this century," Solomon says.

The idea that changes will be irreversible has consequences for how we should deal with climate change. The global thermostat can't be turned down quickly once it's been turned up, so scientists say we need to proceed with more caution right now.

"These are all ... changes that are starting to happen in at least a minor way already," says Michael Oppenheimer of Princeton University. "So the question becomes, where do we stop it, when does all of this become dangerous?"

The answer, he says, is sooner rather than later. Scientists have been trying to advise politicians about finding an acceptable level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The new study suggests that it's even more important to aim low. If we overshoot, the damage can't be easily undone. Oppenheimer feels more urgency than ever to deal with climate change, but he says that in the end, setting acceptable limits for carbon dioxide is a judgment call.

"That's really a political decision because there's more at issue than just the science. It's the issue of what the science says, plus what's feasible politically, plus what's reasonable economically to do," Oppenheimer says.

But despite this grim prognosis, Solomon says this is not time to declare the problem hopeless and give up.

"I guess if it's irreversible, to me it seems all the more reason you might want to do something about it," she says. "Because committing to something that you can't back out of seems to me like a step that you'd want to take even more carefully than something you thought you could reverse."

    Iceland's Government Collapses Amid Financial Crisis

     
     

     
     
    Iceland's government collapses
     

    REYKJAVIK, Iceland --- Iceland's coalition government collapsed Monday, leaving the island nation in political turmoil amid a financial crisis that has pummeled its economy and required an international bailout.

    Prime Minister Geir Haarde said he was unwilling to meet the demands of his coalition partners, the Social Democratic Alliance Party, which insisted upon getting the post of prime minister to keep the coalition intact.

    "I really regret that we could not continue with this coalition, I believe that that would have been the best result," Haarde told reporters.

    Haarde, who has been prime minister since 2006, said he would officially inform the country's president, Olafur Ragnar Grimsson, that the government had collapsed. Grimsson, largely a figurehead, has asked Haarde's government to remain in place until a new administration is formed.

    Last week, Haarde called elections for May _ bringing forward a contest originally slated for 2011 after weeks of protests by Icelanders upset about soaring unemployment and rising prices.

    But Haarde said he wouldn't lead his Independence Party into the new elections because he needs treatment for cancer.

    Foreign Minister Ingibjorg Gisladottir, head of the Alliance party, is expected to start talks immediately with opposition parties in an attempt to form a new government that would rule until the new elections are held.

    Gisladottir said Monday she won't seek to replace Haarde as Iceland's leader, proposing Social Affairs Minister Johanna Sigurdardottir _ an Alliance member _ instead.

    The prime minister told reporters Monday that he had proposed Education Minister Thorgerdur Katrin Gunnarsdottir to be the new prime minister, but Gisladottir rejected that offer.

    "It was an unreasonable demand for the smaller party to demand the premiership over the larger party," Haarde said.

    He said he hoped a national government, formed from all of Iceland's main political parties, could lead the country until the elections.

    The Alliance Party also has sought the ouster of central bank governor David Oddsson, Iceland's former prime minister, and sought changes to Iceland's constitution to allow it to become a full member of the European Union.

    Iceland has been mired in crisis since the collapse of the country's banks under the weight of debts amassed during years of rapid expansion. Inflation and unemployment have soared, and the krona currency has plummeted.

    Haarde's government has nationalized banks and negotiated about $10 billion in loans from the IMF and individual countries. In addition, Iceland faces a bill likely to run to billions of dollars to repay thousands of Europeans who held accounts with subsidiaries of collapsed Icelandic banks.

    The country's commerce minister, Bjorgvin Sigurdsson, quit Sunday, citing the pressures of the economic collapse.

    "We are happy that the government has gone, but now we need to clean up the financial supervisory authority and the central bank," protester Svginn Rumar Hauksson said at a rally Monday outside Parliament. "The protests will continue until it becomes clear that things are really changing."

    Iris Erlingsdottir: Iceland's Ruling Coalition Dissolves

    The political situation in Iceland deteriorated further today when Prime Minister Geir Haarde announced the immediate dissolution of the Independence Party's ruling coalition with the Social Democratic Alliance (SDA). On Saturday, Haarde announced that he was suffering from malignant esophageal cancer, and called for new elections on May 9th.

    After a series of formal and informal meetings over the weekend, he and SDA leader, Foreign Minister Ingibjorg Solrun Gisladottir, were unable reach and agree as to how to proceed until then. However, according to Mr. Haarde, the SDA had dissolved into three separate parties, and was no longer able to finish this term in a responsible manner.

    These events represent the culmination of a week that saw thousands of demonstrators descend upon Iceland's parliament, the Althingi, in protest of the government's handling of the financial and currency crises that have hit this small island nation over the past four months. Since October 8, 2008, the country's three largest banks failed and were nationalized by the government, with debts of 7-10 times the country's gross national product. The Icelandic krona has plummeted in value, and unemployment has skyrocketed.

    On Saturday, the largest protest yet was held before the Althingi, with nearly 2% of the nation's population present. Commerce Minister Bjorgvin Sigurdsson announced that we was resigning, and stated that, although he was at fault for his role in these events, many others in the government also had a hand in them, and he called for them to publicly accept responsibility. Noisy demonstrations also were held outside the Hotel Hilton Nordica, where Iceland's Central Bank was holding its annual celebration.

    Mr. Haarde proposed the creation of a national government to rule until new elections could be held, with participation from the other major political parties. He emphasized the importance of maintaining a reasonable tempo to ensure that government services be provided and that commercial activities continue.

    Ms. Gisladottir, who returned from Sweden this weekend after undergoing treatment for a brain tumor, said her party demanded "a government with strong leadership that the nation can trust in and a credible and reliable leader to head it. We just need to find the right person." She said she did not consider herself that individual, considering her personal situation.

    Although the dissolution of the ruling coalition and call for new elections is long overdue, it is more important than ever that the government treat the Icelandic people like adults and tell us exactly what has happened to our country, and who made the decisions that resulted in this mess. Most fingers seem to point at David Oddsson, currently head of the Central Bank, and Prime Minister during the period when the deregulation of the banks took place, but, as Sigurdsson indicated, there is plenty of blame to spread around.

    More than ever, the first task of the new government should be to hold hearings to investigate these matters. We have lost faith in our government, and must see where we've been before we can see where we're going.

      9/11 Truth Rant Featured In Hit TV Show Rescue Me

       

       
       

      9/11 Truth Rant Featured In Hit TV Show Rescue Me 140109top

      Paul Joseph Watson
      Prison Planet.com
      Wednesday, January 14, 2009

      Debunkers and hit piece-obsessed establishment media titans were hoping that 9/11 truth had faded into the background as we accelerate further away from the attacks which took place over 7 years ago.

      However, a scene from the second episode of the fifth season of Rescue Me, the wildly popular TV drama about New York City firefighters, reminds us that 9/11 remains at the forefront of American public consciousness.

      In the scene, the character played by Daniel Sunjata, who is a dedicated truther in real life, goes on a lengthy, detailed and vehement rant about how 9/11 was an inside job to an intrigued female character played by Karina Lombard.

      The scene is part of a 9/11 conspiracy theme that runs throughout the fifth series, a fact revealed last month by Sunjata's fellow Rescue Me star, Dennis Leary.

      In part, Sunjata's character Franco states,

      "9/11? Inside job. Plain and simple. And all you gotta do is connect the dots. ... I am talking about a massive neoconservative government effort, been in the works 20 years. Ever heard of PNAC? Project for a New American Century? According to them, the end goal of their effort is American global domination. Full spectrum dominance, they call it. Now, first question that pops into my mind is: How do you pull that off in this day and age?"

      Daniel Sunjata, MA 
      -- Tony Award-nominated actor who has performed in film, television and in the theater.  Brother to Brother, The Devil Wears Prada, Rescue MeAll My Children, Take Me Out (Broadway).

      He plays the starring role of Reggie Jackson in the upcoming ESPN mini-series The Bronx is Burning.
      • Statement to this website 4/6/07:

        "I would like to respond to the question, "How could a small group within our military and government have been complicit in the terrible events of 9/11 without the entire government being aware of it?"

        My response is that the whole government would not have to be in on the alleged conspiracy for the following reason; our government is a hierarchy in which compartmentalization of knowledge is a given.  As suggested by the symbol of the pyramid, the tier below does not necessarily know everything that the tier above knows, and the tiers above that are privy to even more sensitive and "classified" intelligence and so on.  Even within common tiers you see this compartmentalization where "the left hand knows not what the right hand is doing."

        Sounds dark and conspiratorial but that's the fact.  In fact it is the official excuse given by the establishment for how such a thing as 9/11 could have happened on their watch.  It is therefore quite possible (even probable) that an operation of this magnitude could be carried out without the willful participation of the entire government. ... " Link to full statement

      • Interview with Gary Franchi, Lone Lantern Radio 3/20/07:

        "Before we even get into talking about 9/11 and everything, I just wanted to send my love and my prayers of support to our troops and to their families and especially to those that have been touched by death or have been maimed or injured and then discarded as a result of this immoral and unjust war of terror.

        And my prayers also go out, I want to say, to the victims of 9/11 and their families, and in particular the rank and file of the FDNY and the NYPD; all those heroes who fell that day or afterwards because they were told the air at Ground Zero was safe to breathe.

        And next I also really have to, need to, pay my respects to a partial list of people I think are really true patriots, whose actions and whose research are partly responsible for my own gradual awakening to the terrible reality that not only was 9/11 an inside job, but it is just the tip of a titanic fascist iceberg designed to sink our Constitution and Bill of Rights and plunge us into an abyss of unending war and untold human suffering.

        And I really think that people like Charlie Sheen, Aaron Russo, Alex Jones, obviously yourself, Gary at Lone Lantern, Professor Steven Jones, Cynthia McKinney, Dr. Robert Bowman, Ray McGovern, Sibel Edmonds, Kevin Ryan, Rosie O'Donnell, David Ray Griffin, John Connor, and of course the Loose Change crew, Corey and Dylan, and the list goes on.

        I think in the eyes of history it will be impossible for us as a country to over-esteem the significance and the profundity of your work on behalf of humanity and America, in particular.

        And that's just how important 9/11 Truth and by extension the broader issues which it underscores are.  And that's why also I've been inspired to the simple, yet I feel very empowering, act of coming on your show and adding what voice I have to the people's chorus of dissent and the demand and the desire for truth, and justice, and equality.  And eventually that peace and, God willing, a more beautiful world for our children.

        Israel's Dirty Secret: Hamas Was Creation Of Zionist Intriguers

         

        Israel's Dirty Secret: Hamas Was Creation Of Zionist Intriguers

        By Michael Collins Piper

        The Washington Post has finally acknowledged—albeit buried in an "analysis" on its back pages—the explosive and little-known point first made by American Free Press as long ago as Oct. 29, 2001 (and later on July 8, 2002 and Feb. 13, 2006): that Israel had a secret agenda vis-a-vis Islamic fundamentalist groups such as Hamas, that Israel had a long, well-documented history of propping up Islamic fundamentalism (including terrorist organizations) for its own purposes.

        Writing in the Post on January 7, 2009, the newspaper's foreign correspondent Glenn Kessler revealed:

        In the 1980s . . . the Israeli government decided to weaken the secular Fatah movement headed by Palestine Liberation Organization [PLO] Chairman Yasser Arafat by promoting the rise of Islamic parties as a counterweight, on the theory that Islamic groups would not have the same nationalistic impulses. So Fatah's social networks were dismantled by the Israeli government, but it went easy on Islamic charitable networks. This decision fueled the rise of Hamas as a political force, with its network of health clinics and social services that far exceeded the abilities of the often-corrupt Fatah movement. . . .

        Israel now wants to make a peace deal with Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian authority president who heads Fatah but has no control over Gaza. So one of the Israeli aims in Gaza today is to weaken Hamas enough that it can no longer be a political rival to Fatah in Gaza—the opposite of what Israel hoped to achieve decades ago with its efforts to encourage the rise of Islamic groups.

        In short, behind-the-scenes schemers in Israel saw Hamas in its earliest days as a counter-balance against any Palestinian moves for peace. In other words, as long as Hamas had enough influence, it might prevent the peace process with the "moderate" forces of secular Palestinian statesman Yasser Arafat (leader of Fatah) from going forward.

        While many good people do not understand why Israel would not want peace, Israel's intrigues serve at least three purposes: 1) preserving internal conflict within the Palestinian movement; 2) giving Israel the opportunity to claim that the peace process could not go forward because "Arafat and the PLO control the extremist elements" and 3) perpetuating overall Middle East conflict, which has always been Israel's motivation, preferring to see its Arab neighbors divided—quarreling with one another—thereby unable to check Israel's regional desires.

        All of this is not to suggest that Hamas is somehow a secret "tool" of Israel—as some na�ve folks have suggested. Far from it. In fact, Hamas clearly captured the support of many Palestinians (Muslim and Christian alike) who do not necessarily share Hamas' Islamic focus. And after Hamas won a democratic election in taking control of the Palestinian Authority in 2002, Israel saw the proverbial "blowback."

        On June 28, 2002, veteran UPI correspondent Richard Sale confirmed what AFP had already reported regarding Israel's manipulation of Islamic fundamentalist forces.

        Sale focused on Israel's intrigues regarding Hamas. Sale cited not only a variety of named and un-named past and present U.S. government officials but also documents obtained by UPI from the Israel-based Institute for Counter-Terrorism.

        Noting that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was vowing to fight "Palestinian terror" and declaring Hamas as "the deadliest terrorist group that we have ever had to face," Sale noted wryly that "Sharon left something out."

        That "something," according to Sale, was that while Israel and Hamas were then currently locked in deadly combat, "according to several current and former U.S. intelligence officials, beginning in the late 1970s, Tel Aviv gave direct and indirect financial aid to Hamas over a period of years."

        So the fact is that Israel's activities laid the groundwork for the crisis that now rages in Gaza. Sale pointed out that Hamas was actually legally registered as an Islamic social and religious entity in Israel in 1978 and that U.S. administration officials said that funding for Hamas came from not just the oil-producing Arab states but "directly and indirectly from Israel."

        While the PLO itself was secular, promoting Palestinian nationalism, Hamas was intent upon setting up a transnational state ruled by the tenets of Islam. Sale also cited an unnamed former senior CIA official saying that Israel's support for Hamas "was a direct attempt to divide and dilute support for a strong, secular PLO by using a competing religious alternative."

        Sale cited Tony Cordesman, a respected veteran Mideast analyst associated with the Center for Strategic Studies, who said that Israel "aided Hamas directly—the Israelis wanted to use it as a counterbalance to the PLO."

        Then, when the PLO moved its base of operations to Beirut, Hamas began growing in influence in the Israeli occupied West Bank.

        All of these elements converged at exactly the time when Israel was funding Hamas. However, even the growing strength and independence of Hamas did not deter the Israelis from supporting them.

        A U.S. government official—who asked not to be named—told Sale that "The thinking on the part of some of the right-wing Israeli establishment was that Hamas and the others, if they gained control, would refuse to have any part of the peace process and would torpedo any agreements put in place. Israel would still be the only democracy in the region for the U.S. to deal with."

        In other words, Israel wanted to prop up and promote Hamas as a means of undermining the influence of Yasser Arafat and the PLO and thereby disrupting the very real peace initiatives being made by Arafat.

        Israel wanted an unending state of war in order to be able to continue to justify its occupation of the West Bank and Gaza and—inevitably—expand Israel's borders into what is known as "Greater Israel."

        Thus, the Israelis sponsored—as they soon discovered—a movement that quickly grew out of control. Although the Israelis sought to manipulate Hamas from within—penetrating it with Israeli spies—independent-minded Hamas leaders weeded out Israeli collaborators. Hamas thus became a self-sustaining, popularly backed movement that emerged as a very real threat to Israel, to the extent that any such movement could be a threat to the well-armed and U.S.-backed Zionist state.

        Sale pointed out that Israel's posturing and manipulation "disgusts" U.S. analysts who have watched Israel's initial nurturing of the very groups that Israel now demands that the United States and the world wage war against on Israel's behalf.

        Now Israel is crying that "we are under siege and fighting back to protect our people," the fact is that it is the Palestinian Christians and Muslims who are under siege. The truth is that three times as many Palestinians as Israelis have died during the past ten years.

        And while many Americans somehow have been convinced that Hamas are "the bad guys" and that its rival, Fatah, are "the good guys who want peace with Israel," some of Israel's leading publicists on American soil are
        not so subtly saying that even Fatah is a possible danger to Israel.

        For example, "neo-conservative" propagandist Clifford May, writing in the Washington Times on Jan. 11, asserted that even though Fatah may be hoping—even helping—Israel in its campaign against Hamas, "it doesn't mean Fatah will henceforth [have] good will and a spirit of compromise toward Israel."

         In other words: Israel will deal with Fatah after it is done wiping Hamas off the map.

        No defense for Stearns

        It's a sad day when Cliff Stearns can't defend himself against Dave Bruderly's revelations (Voice, Jan. 9) and relies on chronic supporters like Jim Whitehead (Voice, Jan. 14) to help remove the stubborn stain of earned humiliation from the congressman's abysmal record.

        But we can thank Whitehead for pointing out that Stearns needs little more than a rubber-stamp to occupy his 6th District Congressional seat in Washington, DC.

        Stearns continues to parade his faux reputation as a fiscal conservative even after his paper trail reflects eight years of almost perfect lock-step voting on legislation that has plunged Americans into a generation of war, staggering debt and unemployment.

        Stearns voted for the costliest wars in history, but in 2004 attempted to stop a shipment of "free" Kevlar vests from reaching Iraq even while he knew U.S. troop casualties were largely a result of deadly missions in "cheaped-out" Humvees that lacked protective armor.

It has 400 nuclear missiles on a hairpin trigger with which it could respond in a heartbeat.

         

        Find out the secret history of Israel's nuclear development from an authority on the Middle East who is not afraid to give you the unvarnished truth -- Michael Collins Piper.
