After 9-11 I supported the Bush administration’s original invasion of Afghanistan for a few months. By spring of 2002, however, the Bush administration began beating the drums for war in Iraq. It was very obvious that the WMD charge was phony and the evidence fabricated. But it did not occur to me until I saw a lecture by physicist Stephen Jones in 2006 where he demonstrated that the government explanation given by NIST account of the destruction of the Twin Towers and World Trade Center 7 is physically impossible. These were all steel frame buildings, and the only way they could have collapsed at near free-fall speed as they did was for all the steel columns holding up the buildings to be simultaneously blown out with high explosives. In May of this year, Jones and Niels Harrit of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen demonstrated the ubiquitous presence in the dust of the WTC of such a high explosive, nanothermite. After reading it I became a supporting member of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. Please check us out at ae911truth.org.

Everything we as architects, engineers, physicists and chemists understand about the destruction World Trade Center fits in perfectly with all that you have been saying here about the corruption within our intelligence services. As I see it, the people who engineered 9-11 are still at large while our army is running around Afghanistan chasing ghosts. They can strike again whenever it suits them and our country is completely defenseless. I believe bin Laden has been dead since December 2001. Yet the NSA has been regularly “authenticating” bin Laden recordings right up to last month. Who is putting out these recordings and who is “authenticating” them?

The 9-11 truth movement is very broad and there is much wild and unsubstantiated speculation within it. But Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth is the hard scientific core of the movement. Without our hard scientific evidence, the movement could be written off as “conspiracy theory”. But we do have hard evidence. We know this must be the case. We avoid speculation about the perpetrators and their motives. This will be determined by the open, public investigation for which we are calling.

Everybody in AE admires your work and we would love to join forces with you in pressing for a full investigation of Bush administration crimes, starting with the events of 9-11 itself.

I’m certainly part of the irate minority, but certainly not “tireless.” Sometimes, I get tired and downhearted. But your efforts, for one, inspire me to spring back to action. As a group, then, we can be “tireless,” affording members to nap now and then.

I’d like to add a note about the massive and deep ignorance in the USA:

Bill Maher said it’s a “stupid country,” and he’s right, of course. (Yes, “stupid” and “ignorant” are different.) He got up to speed on health insurance reform, but he has yet to show any deep understanding of the financial crisis, which is where the real truth lurks about our political-economic system. I recently passed 50 years of age. Not until this year did I finally emerge from relative ignorance and reach a level of understanding that allows me to answer my frequent questions of “why!?” For example, why Obama does what he does, so contrary to what he’d led us to believe he’d do. Early this year, it all became clear to me.

SINCE it took me this long to figure it out, most people are never going to figure it out. (They have their reasons: too busy, or unable, or unwilling.) So, I agree that only a learned, fairminded, and compassionate “minority” can light those “brush fires” and eventually bring about the change we really need. Let’s hope we succeed within our lifetimes!

Yours is a great effort. I hope my modest efforts will be of some help.

Thank you. Good luck too.

I have found this to be true at The Huffington Post, Truth Dig and even Antiwar.com to their shame where I was informed that I was banned for calling an Israeli writer a “war criminal” and an obfuscator of the truth. Their email to me indicated that not only was I wrong in my feelings, but also that my opions will be banned from now on. As a Palestinian whose family has suffered egregiously at the hands of the Israeli’s, I found that distortion to be repulsive, especially coming from AntiWar.com where they literally flag the word “jew” and the post is then moderated and the word elliminated.

Hopefully opinions will be respected and not silenced simply because they might not fit the current trends in acceptability. Time will tell, obviously.

Best of everything to you and the site and I will try and contribute what I can, when I can..

@Simon: Thank you very much. Hope we’ll have enough to put our reporters to work!

@ Remo: I’d say let’s get the Kiwis out of there first. I am a big fan of NZ, and want to consider it my second home (soon). Let’s invite our Kiwi friends over here and get them moving!

Today I’ll publish our Boiling Frogs interview with Former Senior CIA Analyst, Melvin Goodman. It is quite hot; WashingtonPost got an earful (not that it matters to them; nowadays they run ‘saloons’ !).

Been folowing your plight since Ashcroft gagged you and I noted your appearance on OZ tv with the English ex MI6/5 lady (Machin?) in 2007.

I say this, so as to let you know that many matters of importance can be accomplished by a minority………especially when they become the majority!

The security words are easier (this time) when they are actual words, guessing is that much easier. (:-) But ‘airplane’ should be ‘aeroplane’!)

I listened to your interview on Anti-War.com today. Great stuff. It’s confirmation that our media is completely compromised. Your story is simply too compelling not to be covered. Best of luck to you with your efforts to bypass the MSM.

@JFL: I know it is painful, but much less painful than getting hit with these spammers and start reading ‘Lose weight now,’ or even better, ‘Increase the size of your XXXX’ I hate the darn letters myself. I’ll try to check and find a better plug in with more readable letters. Bear with it for a little while, and thank you for that.

@Uncle Dick: Welcome! Are your guys still in Afhanistan? Since we can’t get ours out of there, we should try to get yours out, maybe that will increase the pressure here…G’day (now my turn to read the letters below. Do I have to-as an administator? No, but I want to share the missery!).

you have reached Australia, all the best wishes.

(how does one read the security words?)

Looking forward to this new venture!

The most frustrating, difficult part for me will be maintaining nonpartisanship in this polarized atmosphere. I have a hard time explaining to my conservative friends that while I’ve lost faith in Obama and the Democratic Party, I do not put stock in their silly ‘birther’ claims and I am often forced to denounce their racist paranoid rants and find myself being forced to defend a President I myself have lost faith in. I’ve tried to explain that the problem with Barack Obama is not that he’s a radical Socialist, but that he’s ‘more of the same’, a conventional politician tied into the power structure (and possibly corrupted by it). I still think he is a slight improvement from Bush, but certainly not the transformational figure we were all promised.

I have found a different problem with Hillary supporters. A couple of my friends think the problem with Obama is that “he’s not as much of a change agent as Hillary would have been”. Give me a break!

“‘King Fisher, Ishmael, and Metem’: Let me know if you’re interested in having ‘moderator access’ for some posts. Soon I’ll also offer ‘open thread’ discussion series where a select old friends like you are welcome to post discussion threads…”

I would be more than happy and honored to assist in any way I can. With my backgrouunds in Telecomm, Precision-Guided and Nuclear Weaponry I might be able to offer some fresh insights from an insider’s point of view.

Drop me an e-mail and we can discuss what my role, parameters and focus should be. My wife and I DID run one of the largest and most active writing/critique groups on the now-defunct MSN Groups. Universal Writer’s Group began in June of 2004 with 4 writers. When MSN shut down MSN Groups in February of 2008, we had grown to over 650 writers from some 38 countries spanning the globe and were named to Writer’s Digest annual survey of the Top 101 Websites For Writers in 2005 and 2006. We were also consistently one of the 3 most active out of over 300 writing workshop groups on MSN Groups.

If we have information on potential stories, do we contact you directly? Or to one of your writers?

This will largely depend on our supporters, readers, basically-the members of our irate minority club. Our partner investigative journalists and several others who want to join us are all waiting to have the resources, the required minimum funding, in place so that they go out there, start digging, investigating, and write the stories we’ve been waiting for…So please support and help us get there.

@KingFisher: You bet. Ozer Ciller had partnership with Roget Tamraz in several companies, some of them ‘Casinos in Central Asia.’ Those were the ‘known’ deals. Of course you know the ties and involvements with BCCI.

@ Ron: I don’t own those videos. You may want to contact those who’ve posted them. Thank you for asking.

@ Deep Politics: Good to see and have you on board with us here. Many thanks; we need all the support we can get.

Mizgin, Hannah and all other well-wishers: Thank you,all. This is our place, our goal, our vision; let’s make it happen.

May I have permission to create a DVD with some of the video clips I have seen of you lately? The interview would, of course, be the main event.

It would fit nicely on my project site where I distribute one dollar DVDs to activists.

Re: Aliyev assassination attempt you mentioned in recent interview
This is the March 1995 coup attempt you are referring to? The one with the Grey Wolves, Catli and the Azeri OMON; financed by Ozer Ciller and reportedly Roger Tamraz?

KF

You go, Sibel!

After all, what’s the point of assuming the ‘alternative’ title when all you do is recycle YouTube videos of Olbermann, Maddow, or Fox pundits? Why waste millions of pages on the net to discuss, tear apart, and by doing so bolster the Coulters or Malkins of the pundit world? Why spend a gazillion hours on Karl Rove’s unpunished evil deeds which will never be punished, and totally ignore, or even justify and apologize for the current highly questionable deeds of the new administration? No wonder why we have been stuck in this vicious cycle! No wonder why we’ve been running from one scandal to another, from one symptom to the next, chasing our own tails and yet getting nowhere!

I am DESPERATE for this.

I can’t express how desperate. So my karma is going to be glued to the prospect of your complete success.

Keep up the good work. We aren’t giving up either!

Ishmael: Welcome to the new site. Let’s talk ‘treason’:-) Your voice and always on the mark comments will be greatly appreciated by old timers & new comers alike.

Metem: ‘especially the prospect of stirring up some trouble’: My kind of ‘activism’: ruffle feathers, stir up some trouble (the bigger in this case is better;-).

‘King Fisher, Ishmael, and Metem’: Let me know if you’re interested in having ‘moderator access’ for some posts. Soon I’ll also offer ‘open thread’ discussion series where a select old friends like you are welcome to post discussion threads…

“It’s a nice soft night. I think I’ll join some of me old comrades…and talk a little Treason.”

There is an old saying “well begun is half done”; this site looks well begun to me, and is so well named. Perfect! I will be frequenting this space regularly, and donating when I can. Thank you for being your Shining Self in this mad crazy world.

Namasté…..

I’m encouraging my friends and family to join and save (ourselves). Let’s see how far a little contribution from each of use can go. There’s no one else offering such a great deal.

Context: You used the key phrase here: Deep State System. My goal is to gather others sharing this same awareness, and turn us in to a force to wake up others who don’t. Hope to see you here regularly, and please help us put the word out by inviting others who share our stand.

Based on the quality of the Podcast series thus far, I have no doubt your larger project will be a success. Setting brush fires is no easy task, what with all the cognitive dissonance, but with the integrity, principles and intelligence you’ve continuously displayed I believe you’ll slowly coax more and more people out of the fog of lazy ideology and masturbatory spectacles.

My hope continues to be that the finest journalists and commentators still caught in the throes of the ‘Incompetence Theory’ and the Democrat-Republican Costume Ball (Glenn Greenwald, Jeremy Scahill, Sy Hersh, AntiWar.com, etc) will eventually become cognizant of and declare war against the Deep State system that lurks just beneath the surface. So please, bring on the fire that will clear this path.

Thanks sincerely for all of your efforts.
