Anatomy of a False Flag

9/11: A LIE TOO BIG TO FAIL

The 9/11 False Flag was a mass murder and PsyOp intended to mobilize public zeal to retaliate against an imaginary enemy and quest for Oil Empire.

In 2009, the astounding evidence that 3 buildings were destroyed with pre-planted explosives is incontrovertable but remains un-acknowledged by the Whitehouse, and covere-up by the government and media.

This History Channel Clip of "102 Minutes that changed America" focuses on the power of corporate media to galvanize public opinion to seek revenge with military force against an enemy created by us.

Richard Gage, AIA and 1,000 building professionals have placed their reputations under public scrutiny to demand a new 9/11 investigation.

AUTISM Diagnoses Jump 57% Since 2002.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports there is a 57 percent increase in autism diagnoses over the last estimate in 2002, or roughly one in 110 American children, up from one in 150 American children. The CDC considers autism to be a significant public health issue.

Catherine Rice, lead author of the CDC report, believes the trend reflects greater awareness and diagnosis of “autism spectrum disorders”. It may also mean more children are being exposed to the yet unknown causes. Rice went on to say, “We know complex genetic and environmental factors are involved, and we have much to learn about the causes.”


According to the Mayo Clinic, about 5-10 percent of individuals with autism have the condition strictly due to genetic or environmental factors. Environmental factors may occur during the pregnancy or following birth. Some genetic causes may include chromosome abnormalities as well as alterations in a single gene among the chromosomes. Parents of children who have been diagnosed with autism are advised to see a geneticist.

Bob Wright, co-founder of Autism Speaks, said in a statement, “We need meaningful action now that acknowledges the scope of the problem and allocates the resources necessary to take the fight against autism to a new level.

Autism rates are lowest in Florida and highest in Arizona and Missouri, although rates increased in all geographic regions, sexes, and all ethnic and racial groups. Males are affected by a rate of more than 4 to 1 over females.

Obama puts US in Climate Debt of $100,000,000 (100 Billion) by 2020

A group of about 25 countries had sought agreement on a two-page political statement setting out critical elements, key among them the mobilization of $30 billion in the next three years to help poor countries cope with climate change and a scaling up to $100 billion a year by 2020.

What is Qui Tam?

The Qui Tam Information Center
http://www.quitam.com/id8.html

Qui tam (Black's Law Dictionary pronunciation: kwày tæm) is an abbreviation from the Latin "qui tam pro domino rege quam pro sic ipso in hoc parte sequitur" meaning "who as well for the king as for himself sues in this matter."

Black's Law Dictionary defines a qui tam action as "an action brought by an informer, under a statute which establishes a penalty for the commission or omission of a certain act, and provides that the same shall be recoverable in a civil action, part of the penalty to go to any person who will bring such action and the remainder to the state or some other institution."

Qui tam is a provision of the Federal Civil False Claims Act that allows private citizens to file a lawsuit in the name of the U.S. Government charging fraud by government contractors and others who receive or use government funds, and share in any money recovered.

This unique law was enacted by Congress in order to effectively identify and prosecute government procurement and program fraud and recover revenue lost as a result of the fraud.

The qui tam provision has had the effect of privatizing government legal remedies by allowing private citizens to act as "private attorneys general" in the effort to prosecute government procurement and program fraud. Although most of the early successes in qui tam actions have been against defense contractors, more and more actions are being filed that involve other governmental agencies such as Health and Human Services, Environment, Energy, Education, NASA, Agriculture and Transportation. U.S. recoveries for qui tam cases, as of the end of 2003, has totaled $7.8 billion. During the same period, relator shares, as a result of the recoveries, has totaled $1.3 billion.

WACLA: Joe Biden Reads about 9/11 Treason

Vise President Biden Obligated by Law to Expose 9/11 Treason

Biden reads page one of "nano-thermite" research.

by Jeremy Rothe-Kushel and Bruno Bruhwiler, WeAreChange, Los Angeles http://wacla.org/

May 15, 2009, Los Angeles, CA - Vice President Joseph Biden and LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa took a tour of a community housing project of the Esperanza Community Housing Corp.

Jeremy interviewed Biden and handed him a copy of the research that presents conclusive evidence of controlled demolition of all 3 WTC buildings on 9/11/2001:

"Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The video shows that Biden took possession of the paper long enough to have read page one which contained the Abstract followed by the first few paragraphs of the Introduction. This is important since the Vice President of the United States is legally obligated to present evidence of treason to the Senate Judiciary committee and/or the Department of Justice, Eric Holder for immediate action in the interests of National Security.

THE LAW on "MISPRISION" STATES:

Persuant to Title18 USC § 2382, Misprision of Treason and/or 18 USC § 4 , Misprision of Felony. It is the affirmative duty of any citizen to expose any treasonous or criminal act which comes to our attention. Failure to do so is defined as “misprision.”

As codified in the United States Code, Title 18, “Crimes and Criminal Procedure.” Misprision of treason applies to officials who have taken an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. Misprision of felony applies to all citizens.

18 USC § 2382. Misprision of treason

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States and having knowledge of the commission of any treason against them, conceals and does not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President or to some judge of the United States, or to the governor or to some judge or justice of a particular State, is guilty of misprision of treason and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than seven years, or both.

V.P. Joe Biden read page 1 which included the following:

Abstract: We have discovered distinctive red/gray chips in all the samples we have studied of the dust produced by the destruction of the World Trade Center. Examination of four of these samples, collected from separate sites, is reported in this paper. These red/gray chips show marked similarities in all four samples. One sample was collected by a Manhattan resident about ten minutes after the collapse of the second WTC Tower, two the next day, and a fourth about a week later.

The properties of these chips were analyzed using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The red material contains grains approximately 100 nm across which are largely iron oxide, while aluminum is contained in tiny plate-like structures. Separation of components using methyl ethyl ketone demonstrated that elemental aluminum is present. The iron oxide and aluminum are intimately mixed in the red material. When ignited in a DSC device the chips exhibit large but narrow exotherms occurring at approximately 430 °C, far below the normal ignition temperature for conventional thermite. Numerous iron-rich spheres are clearly observed in the residue following the ignition of these peculiar red/gray chips. The red portion of these chips is found to be an unreacted thermitic material and highly energetic.

Introduction: The destruction of three skyscrapers (WTC 1, 2 and 7) on September 11, 2001 was an immensely tragic catastrophe that not only impacted thousands of people and families directly, due to injury and loss of life, but also provided the motivation for numerous expensive and radical changes in domestic and foreign policy. For these and other reasons, knowing what really happened that fateful day is of grave importance.

A great deal of effort has been put forth by various government- sponsored and funded investigations, which led, in large part, to the reports released by FEMA [1] and NIST [2]. Other studies of the destruction have been less well publicized but are no less important to the outstanding obligation that remains to the victims of that tragedy, to determine the whole truth of the events of that day [3-10]. A number of these studies have appropriately focused attention on the remaining physical material, and on available photographs and video footage, as sources of evidence still in public hands, relating to the method of destruction of the three skyscrapers.

The collapses of the three tallest WTC buildings were remarkable for their completeness, their near free-fall speed [11] their striking radial symmetry [1, 12] and the surprisingly large volume of fine toxic dust [13] that was generated. In order to better understand these features of the destruction, the authors initiated an examination of this dust. In June 2007, Dr. Steven Jones observed distinctive bi-layered chips, with both a red and a gray layer, in a sample of the WTC dust. Initially, it was suspected these might be dried paint chips, but after closer inspection and testing, it was shown that this was not the case. Further testing was then performed on the red/gray chips in an attempt to ascertain their compo....(end of page one).

WAC Boston delivers Treason packet to Congressman John Tierney

We inserted a cover letter on a package of  facts and scientific analyses regarding the controlled demolition of the WTC complex on September 11, 2001. The letter is here as follows, as well as the links to the scientific papers.    CLICK HERE  BENTHAM source for Abstract and PDF copy of the publication.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Dear Honorable Congress John Tierney,

We the People, in order to restore rule of law and accountability to our Republic, respectfully insist that you, as an elected representative, squarely face the facts concerning the events of September 11, 2001 and the implications thereof.

It is our moral and civic duty to entrust to you facts and scientific analyses in the form of peer-reviewed, published scientific papers that clearly and conclusively prove thousands of our fellow human beings and citizens were murdered in controlled and criminal demolitions on September 11, 2001.

Plausible deniability of these facts and evidence is no longer possible.

If you fail to acknowledge and act immediately and decisively on this evidence, then your inaction will constitute misprision of treason in the least, outright treason at worst. The time is now to fulfill your oath to the Constitution and stand tall in the face of the corruption of our Republic. We the People stand with you.

Pursuant to U.S. Code, Title 18, Part I, Chapter 115

§ 2381. Treason

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

And § 2382. Misprision of Treason

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States and having knowledge of the commission of any treason against them, conceals and does not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President or to some judge of the United States, or to the governor or to some judge or justice of a particular State, is guilty of misprision of treason and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than seven years, or both.

Cosmic Rays Linked to Climate Change

Evidence for a physical linkage between galactic
cosmic rays and regional climate time series
Charles A. Perry
US Geological Survey, 4821 Quail Crest Place, Lawrence, KS 66049, USA Received 17 November 2006; received in revised form 22 February 2007;
accepted 23 February 2007
Abstract The effects of solar variability on regional climate time series were examined using a sequence of physical connections between total solar irradiance (TSI) modulated by galactic cosmic rays (GCRs), and ocean and atmospheric patterns that affect precipitation and streamflow. The solar energy reaching the Earth’s surface and its oceans is thought to be controlled through an interaction between TSI and GCRs, which are theorized to ionize the atmosphere and increase cloud formation and its resultant albedo.
.
High (low) GCR flux may promote cloudiness (clear skies) and higher (lower) albedo at the same time that TSI is lowest (highest) in the solar cycle which in turn creates cooler (warmer) ocean temperature anomalies. These anomalies have been shown to affect atmospheric flow patterns and ultimately affect precipitation over the Midwestern United States. This investigation identified a relation among TSI and geomagnetic index aa (GI-AA), and streamflow in the Mississippi River Basin for the period 1878–2004. The GI-AA was used as a proxy for GCRs. The lag time between the solar signal and streamflow in the Mississippi River at St. Louis, Missouri is approximately 34 years.
The current drought (1999–2007) in the Mississippi River Basin appears to be caused by a period of lower solar activity that occurred between 1963 and 1977. There appears to be a solar ‘‘fingerprint’’ that can be detected in climatic time series in other regions of the world, with each series having a unique lag time between the solar signal and the hydroclimatic response. A progression of increasing lag times can be spatially linked to the ocean conveyor belt, which may transport the solar signal over a time span of several decades. The lag times for any one region vary slightly and may be linked to the fluctuations in the velocity of the ocean conveyor belt. -- Complete Study: CLICK HERE

Now Come McChrystal let's move fast Your big chance has come at last Gotta kill all those towel heads Though muslims aint who we should dread Our robber barons now they're the ones Who blew the Towers to kingdom come. Huh! Well Come on Wall Street Don't move so slow Since 9-1-1 it's go-go-go. There's plenty money to be made Supply both sides with tools of da trade. Just hope if they grab a bomb, They drop it on Dick Cheney's lawn Well Come on mothers throughout the land Send your child to Afghanistan.

MYTH-BUSTER: Bin Laden Dead Since 2001

YEARS OF DECEIT: US OPENLY ACCEPTS BIN LADEN LONG DEAD Posted on December 05, 2009 by gordonduff BIN LADEN NEVER MENTIONED IN McCHRYSTAL REPORT OR OBAMA SPEECH "HUNT FOR BIN LADEN" A NATIONAL SHAME By Gordon Duff/STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor Conservative commentator, former Marine Colonel Bob Pappas has been saying for years that bin Laden died at Tora Bora and that Senator Kerry's claim that bin Laden escaped with Bush help was a lie. Now we know that Pappas was correct. The embarassment of having Secretary of State Clinton talk about bin Laden in Pakistan was horrific. He has been dead since December 13, 2001 and now, finally, everyone, Obama, McChrystal, Cheney, everyone who isn't nuts is finally saying what they have known for years. However, since we lost a couple of hundred of our top special operations forces hunting for bin Laden after we knew he was dead, is someone going to answer for this with some jail time? Since we spent 200 million dollars on "special ops" looking for someone we knew was dead, who is going to jail for that? Since Bush, Rumsfeld and Cheney continually talked about a man they knew was dead, now known to be for reasons of POLITICAL nature, who is going to jail for that? Why were tapes brought out, now known to be forged, as legitimate intelligence to sway the disputed 2004 election in the US? This is a criminal act if there ever was one. In 66 pages, General Stanley McChrystal never mentions Osama bin Laden. Everything is "Mullah Omar"now. In his talk at West Point, President Obama never mentioned Osama bin Laden. Col. Pappas makes it clear, Vice President Cheney let it "out of the bag" long ago. Bin Laden was killed by American troops many many years ago. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ America knew Osama bin Laden died December 13, 2001. After that, his use was hardly one to unite America but rather one to divide, scam and play games. With bin Laden gone, we could have started legitimate nation building in Afghanistan instead of the eternal insurgency that we invented ourselves. Without our ill informed policies, we could have had a brought diplomatic solution in 2002 in Afghanistan, the one we are ignoring now, and spent money rebuilding the country, 5 cents on the dollar compared to what we are spending fighting a war against an enemy we ourselves recruited thru ignorance. The bin Laden scam is one of the most shameful acts ever perpetrated against the American people. We don't even know if he really was an enemy, certainly he was never the person that Bush and Cheney said. In fact, the Bush and bin Laden families were always close friends and had been for many years. What kind of man was Osama bin Laden? This one time American ally against Russia, son of a wealthy Saudi family, went to Afghanistan to help them fight for their freedom. America saw him as a great hero then. Transcripts of the real bin Laden show him to be much more moderate than we claim, angry at Israel and the US government but showing no anger toward Americans and never making the kind of theats claimed. All of this is public record for any with the will to learn. How much of America's tragedy is tied with these two children of the rich, children of families long joined thru money and friendship, the Bush and bin Laden clans. One son died in remote mountains, another lives in a Dallas suburb hoping nobody is sent after him. One is a combat veteran, one never took a strong stand unless done from safety and comfort. Islam once saw bin Laden as a great leader. Now he is mostly forgotten. What has America decided about Bush? We know this: Bin Laden always denied any ties to 9/11 and, in fact, has never been charged in relation to 9/11. He not only denied involvement, but had done so, while alive, 4 times and had vigorously condemned those who were involved in the attack. This is on the public record, public in every free country except ours. We, instead, showed films made by paid actors, made up to look somewhat similar to bin Laden, actors who contradicted bin Ladens very public statements, actors pretending to be bin Laden long after bin Laden's death. These were done to help justify spending, repressive laws, torture and simple thievery. For years, we attacked the government of Pakistan for not hunting down someone everyone knew was dead. Bin Laden's death hit the newspapers in Pakistan on December 15, 2001. How do you think our ally felt when they were continually berated for failing to hunt down and turn over someone who didn't exist? What do you think this did for American credibility in Pakistan and thru the Islamic world? Were we seen as criminals, liars or simply fools? Which one is best? This is also treason. How does the death of bin Laden and the defeat and dismemberment of Al Qaeda impact the intelligence assessments, partially based on, not only bin Laden but Al Qaeda activity in Iraq that,not only never happened but was now known to have been unable to happen? How many "Pentagon Pundits," the retired officers who sold their honor to send us to war for what is now known to be domestic political dirty tricks and not national security are culpable in these crimes? I don't always agree with Col. Pappas on things. I believe his politics overrule his judgement at times. However, we totally agree on bin Laden, simply disagree with what it means. To me lying and sending men to their deaths based on lies is treason. Falsifying military intelligence and spending billions on unnecessary military operations for political reasons is an abomination. Consider this, giving billions in contracts to GOP friends who fill campaign coffers, and doing so based on falsified intelligence is insane. This was done for years. We spent 8 years chasing a dead man, spending billions, sending FBI agents, the CIA, Navy Seals, Marine Force Recon, Special Forces, many to their deaths, as part of a political campaign to justify running American into debt, enriching a pack of political cronies and war profiteers and to puff up a pack of Pentagon peacocks and their Whitehouse draft dodging bosses. How many laws were pushed thru because of a dead man? How many hundreds were tortured to find a dead man? How many hundreds died looking for a dead man? How many billions were spent looking for a dead man? Every time Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld stood before troops and talked about hunting down the dead bin Laden, it was a dishonor. Lying to men and women who put their lives on the line is not a joke. Who is going to answer to the families of those who died for the politics and profit tied to the Hunt for Bin Laden? Veterans Today Senior Editor Gordon Duff is a Marine combat veteran and regular contributor on political and social issues.
