Funny you should post this tonight. I literally just finished reading your book an hour ago (finished in one day!). While I knew the gist of your story, I wasn’t familiar with all the nitty-gritty details that came out in this book. I used to think that “explosive” was just a hyperbolic term used by publishers to garner attention for a book, but that was the main word that kept popping into my head as I kept reading, explosive! The revelations! The cover-ups! The incompetence by Mike Feghali et al! Explosive! My husband, who is going to read this book now, had to tell me to stop clucking and crying out in exclamation so often or else I had to go read elsewhere

So as I was reading, I was thinking of what I could do to promote your book. I don’t know how one can read it and not be completely shocked and taken aback by the levels of depravity in our government. I mean, I pay attention to this (obviously, I subscribe to your site) so a lot of this wasn’t eye-opening for me but it was shocking nonetheless. I can’t wait to see how it’s received when I pass it along to friends and family who might not be as familiar with how our great government really works.

Interestingly, I was already planning on doing many of the things you mentioned above, Goodreads reviews, going to my social networks and heavily promoting the book, especially to some small, closed political groups I belong to where they don’t necessarily want to believe that our government is capable of such things, especially not the Democrats. I plan on offering to buy copies for each of them if they won’t go out and get it themselves. With more like-minded people, I will encourage them all to buy at least 2 copies of your book: one for themselves and one to give to a family member or friend.

Thanks for your story, for your courage, for your unflappable moral compass, and for inspiring me to keep fighting to take down the beast that has become our government.

As Dr. Phil would say, “Is that working fer yooooooooo?”

sibel’s book brought me to tears a couple of times. she is certainly one to emulate. i like the writer who suggested a statue in each little town, reminding us what a true patriot is. my socialist friend worries about paul’s rx of limited govt, because he believes we need a big entity/institution ie, take over the govt. to combat the corporatist state (aka fascism, a la mussolini). but my question: “HOW can ‘we’ do this when elections in this country cannot be trusted/are so prone to hacking??”

I had not planned to vote any more until a friend convinced me to ‘try’ with ron paul. he seems to have integrity, while another socialist friend says ‘he’s one of them.’ funny the liasons entertained/conversations had during all the ‘downtime’(‘filibustering’ to prevent democracy from taking place) at convention . interesting/mind boggling to try to understand things from a republican/even libertarian point of view after so many ‘progressive years.’ one real repub fellow said to me “the only thing i don’t like about ron paul is his foreign policy>” i responded: ‘that’s the only thing i like..’ (well, his views i heard during ’08 repub convention were what first attracted attention.) he certainly does not lack courage or insight, witness views in eighties even on us complicity in drug trade.

carrying sibel’s book around is good way to spark conversation. i’m giving it to my library and keep telling folks to check it out

Hope you are well. Here’s a song I’ve been listening to a lot lately. Dan Tyminski, The Boy Who Would’t Hoe Corn.

Please keep it up. I hope you don’t get tired of re-telling your story – I, for one, never get tired of listening and it seems very unscripted and honest.

Your book is #625 on Amazon now. Nearly finished reading it myself after getting it two days ago.

Mantenga la fe.

Do I assume then, that, for example, Steve Coll’s “Ghost Wars” or anything written by Peter Bergen would had to have the OK from the Agency to get published?

Well at least they seem like monstreys… I mean… !! Monstrays… or MTFR’s

I remember (the whole bunch of stuff… if you know),…. (well to give a hint: Americans don’t TORURE, & DON’T DO ALL THAT OTHER UNCONSTITUTIONAL STUFF!! We are not used to being like Nazis… It is against our self image!!

It is bad that folks are so like dead sheep… they don’t have much of a brain. The peeps are just like the sheeps…

I got a little concept, I think a lot of the peeps are pretty much just sheeps… props… they ain’t really all there!… How’s that for an earthshaking thought? we are intermixed with robotic stupido fuck heads, that we don’t realize that they are not real people, they realy are zombies…

I have this opinion myself, but I mean it is only an… “Opinion”.

As to the video… I have to say she does have ….. Legs!

Poor bastard… Ike… he got wupped… poor damned guy…

I’m in the market for a leggy woman! might as well get kilt in style…!!

Utter nonsense! A complete lie. Nonpartisan books may not sell because these people won’t publish them. Many successful authors are fed up with the established publishers – including fiction writers – and are either self-publishing or joining together to jointly publish their work.

Sibel, thanks for moving forward! You DO make a huge difference!

One more thing: an excellent response to the Bin Laden killing question… Confusion PSYOPS indeed. I sometimes wonder if the cryptocrats employ conspiracy theory mercenaries, so to speak, in order to taint the epistemic pool from which questioning of official versions of history arise.

Bin Laden himself seems to be a hall of mirrors, and there are multiple conflicting tales as to how and when he died, from Dec. 2001 to 2006 to 2011. I heard it years ago though a unique source – originating with current speaker of the house John Boehner no less! – that Bin Laden was long dead and that they just kept him around because they needed a bogeyman.

But a more recent case that I suspect could be a confusion PSYOPS campaign is that surrounding the death of Andrew Breitbart… and his coroner… and now the disappearance of the eyewitness… It could be that Breitbart died of a natural causes, but for the sake of creating a diversion for the wing-nuts, the black bag men went ahead and poisoned the coroner… just for the hell of it. Again, there’s no depravity to which these people won’t stoop.

The reason I bring it up is because I still recall the aftermath of the Beslan school massacre in 2004 and the way the domestic Russian press and even Putin himself reacted -it was as if they came to a realization of what kind of monsters they were dealing with. If at one time there was “honor among thieves” in the midst of the great games of the Cold War, that honor was gone from the side of the Western backed terrorists – that there was no level of depravity to which they could not stoop. I believe that Putin was a “team player” before Beslan, but not so afterward; and so now that he’s back at the helm, things are going to get very interesting… In a good way I hope… Meaning: there needs to back checks and balances in international relations. The West’s “unipolar” hey-day has come and gone, and the US, UK and gang have proven themselves to be a debased “international community”. As undesirable a state of affairs as MAD, mutual assured destruction is, and as much as I loathed it during the Cold War, it is I’m afraid the only kind of check that the neo-colonial war pigs of the West understand.

The other thing I would take issue with is your statement towards the end that there was no FBI Bin Laden unit… Is that true? What about John O’Neill’s unit? It is true that his investigation team was deprived of information that the CIA and NSA willfully held from them, but I tend to think that O’Neill & co. were sincere in their efforts to shut down Al Qaeda. They were just out of the loop for obvious reasons: their investigation would’ve discovered the relationship between CIA and Al Qaeda. But if you think O’Neill was a sham as well, please explain.

“If you don’t LIKE the News, Go out and Make some of your OWN.”

THAT’s what you’re doing. But what can I Say? As I used to tell my late wife Janet, “I’ve always been attracted to dangerous brunettes.” that’s why I MARRIED her.

First the Yemen CIA station had sent the Soufan Yemen obtained passport photos of Walid Bin Attash to the CIA and FBI HQ in November 2000 after FBI Agent Ali Soufan and Head of the FBI New York field office, John O’Neil made a formal FBI request to the Yemen CIA station for any information the CIA had on Walid Bin Attash and any al Qaeda planning meeting in southeast Asia that the CIA was aware of. Just after the identification on December 16, 2000 by the FBI/CIA Joint source of Walid Bin Attash from his passport photo that Soufan had obtained from the Yemen authorities, the Yemen station requested from the CIA Bin Laden unit, two photos, the photos of Khalid al-Mihdhar and of Walid bin Attash taken at the Kuala Lumpur al Qaeda planning meeting in January 2000.

These photos were shown to the Joint source on January 4, 2001, and Walid Bin Attash identified from the photo of him taken at Kuala Lumpur. This information was passed on by the Pakistani CIA alat to the Yemen CIA station that had requested these two photos be shown to the FBI/CIA Joint source and was sent back to CIA headquarters and to the CIA Bin Laden unit, in a cable kept completely secret from the FBI.

Note this account was not murky and Walid Bin Attash was never incorrectly identified from the photograph of Nawaf al-Hazmi. While the DOJ IG report stated theses facts in one section of their report, when the DOJ IG later revisited this account in this same report, it found that clearly two photos taken at Kuala Lumpur had been requested from the CIA bin Laden unit, one of Khalid al-Mihdhar and Walid Bin Attash, by “CIA overseas personnel”. It is clear that the DOJ IG never read his own report to correct information that had been incorrect. While this information on exactly who had requested these photos had been kept secret, and referred to only as “CIA overseas personnel”, it is clear that it was the Yemen CIA station that had requested these two photos.

On February 1, 2001, Soufan flew out to Pakistan, and had the FBI/CIA Joint source re-identify Walid Bin Attash from the passport photos of him that Soufan had obtained from Yemen authorities, the same photo he had been identified from in December 2000. Even though the CIA Pakistani alat was sitting right next to Soufan when this identification was done again on February 1, 2001, this CIA officer kept completely silent about the identification of Bin Attash just the month before from the Kuala Lumpur photo. He not only kept silent about the identification of Walid Bin Attash, but about the fact that the FBI/CIA joint source had also been shown a photo of Khalid al-Mihdhar. When this identification was sent back to the CIA bin Laden unit and the CIA Yemen station, this information was also kept secret from the FBI by all of these CIA units.

Since the Yemen station had been asked twice by Soufan and John O’Neil in November 2000, if the CIA had any information on Walid Bin Attash or any al Qaeda planning meeting in southeast Asia, the CIA was well aware that the FBI Cole investigators had identified Walid Bin Attash as one of the masterminds of the Cole bombing and knew that they thought he had attended an al Qaeda planning meeting just shortly after the failed bombing of the USS the Sullivans, with other terrorists connected to the Cole bombing. The CIA including the Yemen station, the Pakistani station and the Bin Laden unit were all aware that the FBI Cole bombing investigators were keenly interested in any information on any al Qaeda planning meeting that they thought bin Attash had attended, and on any information on bin Attash himself. So they were fully ware when they did not give the information they had on this meeting and on bin Attash they were withholding material information from an ongoing FBI criminal investigation.

So it is clear that when the CIA had identified Walid Bin Attash from his Kuala Lumpur photos on January 4, 2001 and then keep this information completely secret from the FBI Cole bombing investigators, all of the people involved clearly knew they were committing major and extremely serious Federal felonies, the crime of withholding material information from an ongoing FBI criminal investigation into the murder of 17 US sailors.

It is also clear at the very time Soufan and John O’Neil had requested information from the CIA Yemen station, that this station knew about the meeting in Kuala Lumpur and knew or suspected that Walid Bin Attash, Khalid al-Mihdhar had attended this planning meeting actually planning the Cole bombing. When the joint FBI/CIA source confirmed the identification of Walid bin Attash on January 4, 2001 from the Kuala Lumpur photo for the CIA Pakistan Alat, it reconfirmed the information that the CIA had been aware of all along.

In spite of having this information, and in spite of formal FBI requests from Soufan and O’Neil, the Yemen Station, the Pakistan station and the CIA Bin Laden unit never gave this information on this meeting or the fact that Walid Bin Attash and Khalid al-Mihdhar had been at this meeting to O’Neil, Soufan or the other Cole bombing investigators. They further concealed this information from the FBI by deliberately leaving this information out of any cable that could have been sent from the CIA to the FBI, but internal CIA cables that were never to go to the FBI only had this important information.

Since several different CIA stations were involved and all involved at very the high level managers levels in the CIA, it is clear that the only common denominator to these three CIA stations and this criminal conspiracy was George Tenet, the Director of the CIA himself. It is obvious that no one in the CIA would deliberately commit a serious felony that would send them to prison for years without being directly ordered to by the very highest level of the CIA, the CIA Director George Tenet. It is obvious that Tenet himself had over seen this huge criminal conspiracy and included Coffer Black, Tenet’s deputy and head of the CIA CTC section, the unit directly over the CIA Bin Laden unit and Richard Blee, head of the CIA Bin Laden unit.

It is clear that once the CIA had identified Walid Bin Attash at the Kuala Lumpur meeting, and knew that al-Mihdhar and al-Hazmi had been at this same meeting planning the Cole bombing, the CIA, and their director, George Tenet, realized immediately that the CIA had actually allowed the USS Cole bombing to take place. The CIA had photographed many if not all of the al Qaeda terrorists at this Kuala Lumpur meeting in January 2000, knew they were al Qaeda terrorists planning future attacks on US interests, even knew that they were all connected to the east Africa bombings that had killed over 200 people including 12 Americans, even knew that the east Africa bombings investigations were still ongoing at the FBI, yet the CIA deliberately let all of these terrorists walk away to carry out the Cole bombing. The CIA had been criminally culpable in allowing the Cole bombing to take place and George Tenet knew it. This huge criminal conspiracy was started to cover up the CIA criminal culpability in having allowed the Cole bombing to take place.

Incredibly in November 2000 Soufan asked Louis Freeh, FBI Director, if Freeh would ask George Tenet if the CIA had any information on Walid Bin Attash or on any al Qaeda planning meeting in south east Asia, see account of Ali Soufan by Lawrence Wright, in the New Yorker July 10-17, 2006. Freeh told Soufan that the CIA had none of the information. But page 181 of the 9/11 Commission report and page 238-239 of the DOJ IG report state that Freeh himself had gotten information on this meeting in December 1999 and again in January 2000 from the NSA and the CIA respectively, and the fact that Khalid, Nawaf and Saleem were attending this meeting. Freeh also had this information in January 4, 2000 daily briefing papers. The full name Khalid al-Mihdhar is also found in Louis Freeh’s daily briefing papers. Freeh also knew that these terrorists were linked directly to the communication hub in Yemen that had been the communications center for the east Africa bombings. But Freeh never gave any of this information to Soufan in November 2000. It is clear that not only had the CIA sabotaged the FBI criminal investigation of the Cole bombing, but that FBI Director Freeh had also criminal sabotaged his own investigation of this attack. There appears no other explanation other than the CIA had talked Freeh into sabotaging his own criminal investigation. Why no one in the main stream media has ever connected these facts together when millions must have read the article in the New Yorker and had access to both the 9/11 Commission report and the DOJ IG report is an ongoing mystery but says volumes about the main stream media.

The 9/11 Commission kept the significance of this horrific information silent from the American people. The statement “However, the Commission’s final report did not find that this information about bin Attash—or indeed any information—was deliberately withheld by the CIA. In fact, the final report calls this incident “an example of how day-to-day gaps in information sharing can emerge even when there is mutual goodwill.” is nothing more than an attempt to cover up criminal actions by the CIA in withholding material information from an ongoing FBI criminal investigation. This covering up by the 9/11 Commission in fact is a serious crime in itself since this commission had been tasked with finding out the facts that had allowed the attacks on 9/11 to take place. It is clear that the 9/11 Commission was nothing more than an attempt to prove to the American people that the CIA and FBI had not deliberately allowed that 9/11 attacks to take place when the information now found in the US governments own investigations of 9/11 prove just the opposite.

I hope this kind of interview and the questioners expression repeats ad infinitum. You are really blowing some minds with your book.

I have not commented much here but have been subscribing for awhile. I just downloaded the book and am very much looking forward to reading it! Keep fighting the fight! I will continue to support you in any way I can.

A question follows: How many more Uncle Toms will emerge from Uncle Sam’s forays into the Dark Continent?

Prouty on JFK said it for 911 too : “The whole story of the POWER of the Cover-up comes down to a few points. There has never been a Grand Jury and trial [in texas]. Without a trial there can be nothing. Without a trial it does no good for researchers to dig up data. It has no place to go and what the researchers reveal just helps make the cover-up tighter, or they eliminate that evidence and the researcher.”

How appropriate is that. Keep everything away from cross-examination in a court of LAW. Finding a legal place for the data to MEAN something.

Thank you all for this work. Can’t tell you how much it means.the book is GREAT.

In general, I tend to side with the poor people throwing rocks vs. the tank. I encourage worker unionization and look at the Wisconsin events as positive actions by common people in attempting to derail the fascist locomotive cutting through the middle class. The middle class is waking up to the fact that they are becoming pushed into a corner. But economic/social philosophy aside – it’s the organized crime that is the common enemy.

How does the elite try to rationalize this dreadful outlook? Do those with power to influence it convince themselves that it’s mere incompetence, even though they would never consider themselves inept? Is there an even broader agenda, such as depopulation at work?

I remember a teacher from my Jr. High – a math teacher – for some odd reason talking to the class about the benefits of war (about 1985). Reduction of population was the one that stuck out the most to me.

I guess I was already aware of a lot of the story, but somehow reading it all through chronologically as it unfolded just really gives it a stronger impact and the pieces fall into place a lot better. Seeing it through your eyes brings it powerfully alive.

It’s just amazing, isn’t it? No matter how cynical I get, much of this story remains so hard to believe. It’s like, wow, Orwell and Kafka have nothing on real life, eh? Amazing to think that the cancer of corruption is so widespread and pervasive that with a solid, documented, verified, shocking, important story like yours, the entire system of government and the media can act as one to squash it so thoroughly.

How many people would have fought like you fought? One of the satisfactions of reading the book is thinking about how guys like Frields and Feghali must have had their jaws dropped repeatedly by your courage and audacity and persistence. Somewhere in the private hell of their own minds, they had to have known that you were everything they were not, and that you were better. Boy did they ever pick a fight with the wrong woman!

Thank you. There’s hope, because as bad as it gets, every once in a while we get a Sibel Edmonds. You’ve done your father proud.

And re: selective application of the law, well, that’s one of the ways the rule of law is undermined in one of its most important roles. In theory, law is a check on tyranny, but in practice, increasingly, law has become a tool of tyranny.

Here’s another good talk on TED. If you’ve ever heard or read a book by Ken Robinson you’d realize he’s articulating a similar message, sans elite v non-elite perspective.

http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/sir_ken_robinson_bring_on_the_revolution.html

How does Jon asking you to divulge classified information amount to marginalizing the efforts of others?

Sorry, but I won’t use Facebook, so I can’t check out the group to which you refer. But, I find the allusions troubling.

“1. snitchjacketing
snitchjacketing or badjacketing isn’t an east coast term. it refers to someone calling someone an informant or a “snitch” to out them from a group. the FBI and other law enforcement groups use real informants to plant evidence on people that they may be a snitch to then create infighting or a witch-hunt. it also makes it difficult for those reffered to as snitches, who are in-fact snithes, to work within the movement they come from, because people are weary of such a rumor possibly being true.

when not used by cops/ security forces/ etc it’s usually employed by someone as a low blow, because they can’t come up with anything of any merit to accuse, denounce, or argue with someone about.”

Sounds like you’re complaining because he doesn’t want to talk to you, and you say that’s because you won’t divulge secret information about a topic which you seem to say is important and publicly lied about, but then can’t find any value in telling the truth about, except, you say, to satisfy one person’s curiosity. I find your logic inconsistent.

You do have the right to remain silent. I won’t hold it against you. In fact, I’d encourage it.

My personal experience with Jon was negative, and I later found out via the 9/11 Truth Facebook Group that I was not the only one. I am quoting someone else when I mention that he’s been called a disinformation agent. The 9/11 Truth group on FB does a fairly good job of policing itself. I don’t have a problem with Jon’s genuine efforts for the 9/11 Truth movement, what I have a problem with is when he attempts to marginalize the efforts of others. I fail to see how satisfying his curiosity about Able Danger and subsequently going to jail would help the movement. As much as I admire the courage and the sacrifice of Bradley Manning, I cannot help but notice that he can’t really do much in the first person for anyone else from where he is besides maintain his courageous stand for justice and truth. I am more effective on the outside of that wall and I intend to stay there for as long as possible. If Mr. Gold doesn’t like that for whatever reason, oh well.

May I say that, after reading Sibel’s book, I can start to comprehend the fear and risk that goes along with whistle blowing. I have tremendous respect for those that do say as much as they can. And I don’t envy you for being in a position of making that decision. I hope you have someone that you can talk to about your situation.

That said, my critical thinking alarm bells go off whenever someone starts talking about dis-info agents, which I don’t think is helpful. Many people are called many names for many reasons. I don’t need to hear that someone has been called a name. Are you calling the name or just letting it kind of sneak in by mentioning that others have?

I have a question regarding your oath(s). Are you talking about the oath to protect and defend the constitution from all enemies? Or another oath? Are those in conflict?

Thanks in advance.

Like Simon, I am also a former school teacher (math and science). During my teaching career I worked very hard to get my students to think critically. The way I like to express it is to “think in complete thoughts”. To follow through to the implications of one’s initial ideas. Getting anyone to do this, young or old, is a challenge. That teachers often do not succeed is not necessarily a failure of the system, but a general weakness in human nature.

Unfortunately, education has always been subject to fads. The current emphasis on high-stakes standardized testing and the increasing calls for so-called “teacher accountability” turn my stomach. The former trend encourages, indeed requires bad teaching – that is teaching for the test and rote memorization. The latter is no more than a poorly disguised attempt at union-busting.

It is my firm belief that the public school system in this country is pretty good, but it is under assault by so-called reformers whose real agenda is to divert public resources to private use.

Jon is considered by some activists to be a disinformation agent within the 9/11 Truth movement because if you disagree with him at any point, he stops talking to you. While in general his purpose is noble, he has caused controversy and dissent within the movement. I appreciate you having him on but like anyone and anything connected with 9/11, critical thinking and skepticism need to be in play at all times. I welcome debate, discussion and the questioning of my story within reason. Should I be asked to testify before an appropriately secured panel of Congress, I am very willing to reveal everything I know about Able Danger. I will not break my oath – not for Jon Gold, not for anyone. I’d be an extremely poor activist if I was trying to do so from the pokey.

Best, Eileen Coles

Xicha, done.

Sibel, you have more courage than all of Washington, D.C. and New York City combined. There are thousands of people in those two cities alone who know what’s really going on in this country, but don’t have the courage and integrity to speak out. So now the American people have two debts they can never repay, the federal debt and the Sibel Edmonds debt. This book is easily worth $100.

I thought you might find this article by Erik Larson published today at Oped News interesting.

http://www.opednews.com/articles/1/DOJ-Confirms-Previously-De-by-erik-larson-120413-864.html
Title reads: DOJ Confirms Previously-Denied File Sid To ImplicateSenior US Officials In Nuclear Espionage.

On the other hand, we can try to encourage people to be more curious, more distrusting of authority, more epistemically self-sufficient, or at least more embarrassed of being duped by “the man behind the curtain”.

I really like Jon’s “stick to the basic facts” approach, and stopping ourselves short of jumping to the “inside job” conclusion, no matter how tempting. The truth is, most people seem willing and able to reject a conclusion that blows their minds, without troubling themselves over the evidence. If you want them to think about the evidence, then you have to withhold the conclusion. Let them make it themselves.

I also sympathize to an extent with Jon’s frustration over the prevailing focus on controlled demolition. But I respectfully differ a bit from him there. I know that those building collapses can serve as an effective eye-opener because that’s what opened the whole can of worms for me. For some of us, it’s the visual impact and the stubborn gut feeling that “that ain’t right” that can inspire further research and “lead to harder truths.”

And of course there’s some very compelling physical evidence, so it’s not just wild theorizing. There’s a legitimate place for it. Within reason.

Still, as Jon says, there are plenty of indisputable facts at our disposal, and it’s best to stick with those, and put them together helpfully. Saves a lot of breath in avoiding futile arguments.

I’ve been raving about this book to friends and most cannot begin to fathom the depth of the morass into which our nation has descended. They still believe there is a rule of law, that there are honest and brave politicians somewhere who can and will do something. You bring home the message that if we want our country back, our Constitution restored, and our freedom again, it is up to us. There are no knights on white horses who will lead the charge, we the rabble will have to band together against the odds. I only hope I can have a small percentage of the courage you have shown. Thank you so very much Sibel.

Thanks again

I hope you find my comment ammusing or humorous, because I do… and I mean it, please email me, and give me a price, a special personal price, I will buy the book if it is not too spensive!…

You rock big time, I am a supporter of what you are all about, (truethiness”) gads zookes.

And that deal today explaining the whole history of the education thing going back 5 hundred years… well, I really appreciated that, cause I was not too welcomed by the school system, I was steam rolled by it.

That isn’t the first time though about the school system…. but for Christ’s sakes so what, we got to know it is all bs. The teachers are working for the …. I dunno.. the school system… run by some mrfr called a superintendent or wtf, and by the way, where do the monies go, well you better know… the superintendents get pay like no tomorree.

These guys, (mostly) go around the country on these speaking tours, ( a nice way to get a travelling all paid vacation, and oh so wonderful, that you get to speek to idiots all over the country,,, people who are even stupider than you are, that must be a good endorfan moment!

“Even more powerful than local is personal food sourcing. When you know the chef, the formulator, the sheep herder, the gardner, the trucker. That is where the buzz is. Our culture is starved for organism connections, surburban sprawl and the automobile has sterilized our lives. Work is more sterile than the family environment, automobiles starve us of family culture like exists when ***** is in town.” one of the living Carnegie heirs. This family member manages billions of dollars, yet only recently discovered that community gardens create people to people connections, which is what makes them so popular.

Under the guise of religion, the Tea Party has attempted to reconstruct education to eliminate critical thinking through such venues as privatizing the educational testing service Praxis. Corporate teachers advocate skilled technicians who lack critical thinking skills in the American science classroom. We wonder why ADD and other classroom disabilities are so prevalent.

Perhaps even more insightful regarding education was a recent conversation I had with an MIT trained geochemist about climate change. We were lamenting the fact that the billionaire (mentioned above) could not easily grasp some of the basics of isotopes and carbon ratios to understand human climate change, yet he could successfully manage billions of dollars.

I thought the conversation was pretty clear. The issue with labeling is one of framing communication.

One frame is that of a criminal investigation and the view of the facts pertaining to such an investigation.

Another is a view of the messenger having an idea or theory that can be attacked as the view of the messenger and the labels pertaining to the view and the messenger.

In the second frame, the facts become secondary to the view/the label. This is meant to be avoided by using rhetoric pertaining to facts, rather than labels and theories.

In the first frame, the facts become primary, as does the effort to investigate and communicate them.

As an example regarding the NIST report on WTC7, we can easily talk about facts, such as the secrecy/classification of the input data used for their model (which points to a cover-up), and the about-face they did on admission of free fall of the building (which points to credibility). Also regarding NIST Bld 7, see the recent videos by 71gerry:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGe0E9cjUbI

These use rhetoric that frames their communication as an investigation of facts, instead of theories.

I think this is what Jon, Sibel, and PBC were trying to promote. Does this seem reasonable?

Clearly NATO should have been dissolved when the Soviet Union, it’s ostensible raison d’etre, broke apart. But too many people are making too much money “defending” Europe to act sensibly.

Btw, anybody have a tip on reading covering for example the Saudi’s perspective on Saddam (as mentioned in the interview)..?

I would urge you to look at the work of those involved in the Modern Monetary Theory movement, particularly Professors William Black, Stephanie Kelton, and Michael Hudson of the University of Missouri at Kansas City. There theories have a ring of truth about them and blend well with both “progressive” and “libertarian” political views. They have been featured recently on the Guns and Butter podcast (KPFA Berkeley) and probably would welcome an invite to Boiling Frogs Post as well.

That said, it says much about the state of our “democracy”. We have become a closed nation with a government that is terrified of it’s citizens and the rest of the world. It explains why the NSA is building a 2 billion dollar facility in Utah that will have the capability to listen in on ALL communications both here and abroad with the capability to decrypt every bit of it. I doubt even George Orwell envisioned the extent to which government (with the aid of corporations) would invade our lives. The only thing that separates the United States from other fascist regimes is the general public’s inability to grasp/accept what has happened.

I have a friend who likes to say that the truth will always be revealed. I hope he’s right. Good luck and keep up the good fight.

One other thing is: that we the Americans, have at least seen some of the wonderful stuff, that many of those who live in way back places, maybe they don’t quite get it, how fucked they will be… the weopons… too gruesome, stuff that is too horrid to talk about…

So Frogs… think about it before you jump… about the fire in the hole! (Fryin’ pan or Fire, what a great choice.)

On another note, I was watching Deutsche Welle’s english coverage of Syria today (Tuesday), and for a second I thought it could’ve been RT -the commentator was mentioning the arming of the rebels by Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and other Arab states, and he also mentioned the double standard as pertains to Bahrain… That sort of thing you simply won’t hear on US-UK news outlets. So perhaps DW is recognizing the competition it is getting from the likes of RT and Press TV, and is adjusting its coverage accordingly, if in small steps.

In short, you’re taunting them. You’re daring them to try to back up their threats, because they don’t have a legal leg to stand on, and if they want to take you to court, they’re only playing into your hands. You’ll win, they’ll look stupid, and your story gets out even bigger.

Stuff this great happens so rarely! Thank you for doing what you do!

“The focus was on Iran, with Israeli officials intent on preparing the American public for war against the mullahs. They were spreading disinformation on Iran’s nuclear program, promoting international sanctions, and trying to obtain Washington’s support for an ultimatum on the nuclear program as a final diplomatic gesture that would be turned down by Iran, leading to war with the U.S. playing the lead role. The Israeli Embassy’s activities consisted of drafting articles and editorials that were placed with an accommodating media, paying journalists to write pieces making the same points, and working closely with groups like WINEP and AIPAC to present policymakers with a coordinated list of arguments for war”

proof they are selling a war and that Israel knows what it is saying about Iran is lies.

You nailed it. I will be talking and writing about this: the entire experience with the mega publishing industry, how they willingly complied with the DOJ-FBI ‘informal’ pressure, and much more. It came down to this: I spent 10 years fighting gov imposed gags/censorship, and no way in he.. I was going to put up with the publishing industry request(s) of censorship. And there was ‘partisanship’ side as well. One potential agent said: ‘Why don’t you leave Obama out of this? No need to get into Obama…’

Please stay tuned: I will be exposing all these elements as well;-)

And so Orwell’s prophecy continues to crystallize around the American flock as they graze on a regular diet of government and corporate grown propaganda. The flock will be led wherever the ministry of information wants to take them. Only when the doors of their cages are slammed shut will the flock wake up to the fact that they have been misled in order that they can be fleeced and then eaten.

But, there is another dubious – or “dubya’s” – name in the Ron Paul campaign that I was previously unaware of… Doug Wead, who Russ Baker covers in “Family of Secrets” as the political operative managing GWB’s cynical conversion to Christianity and with it the political exploitation of the evangelical vote. It was Doug Wead who coined the term “compassionate conservatism” – for what would become one of the most -if not the most (so far)- blood-thirsty presidents in U.S. history…

More red flags are being raised then… While I am confident in the sincerity of Ron Paul, it does seem that his campaign has been hijacked by some shady characters.

Thanks very much for the article, I almost forgot he was part of the campaign.

Although the more media-savvy warmongers in the U.S. have more than made their case favoring an attack, certain power centers in the U.S. are reticent and sometimes even have gone on record in opposition. These power centers, i.e., the military, the foreign policy bureaucracy and dominant petroleum interests tend to have veto power over others.

Journalist Mark Perry (often close to U.S. intelligence) lately “leaked” in Foreign Policy Magazine secret deals between Israel and Azerbaijan enabling Israeli jets to land on Azeri airfields north of the Iranian border. What could this leak be but a message to Israel that, should they decide to attack Iran, it would be very soon that their ability to bring their jets back home would cease to exist? In other words, the U.S. is not getting on board.

Many high-ranking members of the U.S. military – a usually quiet bunch – have made the undesirability of armed conflict between the U.S. and Iran quite clear. Their rationale is not difficult to decipher: the costs will outweigh the benefits.

Many commentators tend to overlook the significant strength not only of the Iranian military, but also of Iran’s economic strength, that is, its ability to endure and provide for a prolonged war effort. I don’t know if Mr. Petras has taken that into account or not, but I do see this general phenomenon among the European and U.S. intelligensia.

I do not believe this fact, however, has been lost to elite U.S. planners.

As I see the matter, U.S. planners have elected to direct their efforts to marginalizing Iran as opposed to defeating it by force of arms. Of course, there is no question that Israeli interests in the U.S. are a constituency that must be placated to a significant degree, but I do not see it extending to war.

His majority-supported war because….

God. Said. So.

Failed crusaders who don’t have the decency to kill themselves don’t fare very well.

Worse than death, trust me.

Bush’s mind will slowly melt away from him due to any combination of Alzheimer’s/CJD variants, his final shaking, debilitated memories haunted by his choice to marry the murderer of his bride-to-be.

Is that not enough?

How does one go about relating the need not to take earth-impacting intelligence from the first low-balling wretch you come across?

There is scum on top of a pond, not just at the bottom. Maybe that’s why they see eye to eye.

It’s an important American story, told with excitement, joy, thrills, chills, pain, and real inspiration. Moral clarity and serious backbone contrast an expertly detailed view of the crime families called the FBI, Department of Justice, Congress, Supreme Court, and the Press.

I want to carry this book around with me for moral guidance. I would go so far, as to say that it will be historically relevant for generations to come.

I’ll be contacting you for more copies. There are so many people that I’m going to give this book to…

Just a little information: Patrice Lumumba was assasinated in 1961. Mobutu Sese Seko president of Congo died in 1997.

No. There is only one head I wish to see on a platter…

Here’s an advance abstract of a paper to be published therein by Matthew Liao (NYU), Anders Sandberg (Oxford), and Rebecca Roache (Oxford)…

“Human Engineering and Climate Change”

Anthropogenic climate change is arguably one of the biggest problems that confront us today. There is ample evidence that climate change is likely to affect adversely many aspects of life for all people around the world, and that existing solutions such as geoengineering might be too risky and behavioural and market solutions might not be sufficient to mitigate climate change. In this paper, we consider a new kind of solution to climate change, what we call human engineering, which involves biomedical modifications of humans so that they can mitigate and/or adapt to climate change. We argue that human engineering is potentially less risky than geoengineering and that could help behavioural and market solutions succeed in mitigating climate change. We also consider some possible ethical concerns regarding human engineering such as its safety, the implications of human engineering for our children and for the society, and we argue that these concerns can be addressed. Our upshot is that human engineering deserves further consideration in the debate about climate change.

Sibel, you’ve covered and the various ways the West is using Uyghur ethnic tension to cause problems in China. Well, it looks like similar tactics are being used to destabilize the budding China-Pakistan relations as well.

http://articles.cnn.com/2012-03-28/us/us_rhode-island-guard-death_1_afghan-girl-armored-truck-afghan-civilians?_s=PM:US

Let’s see.

Is it Afghan fighters pushing children in front of American vehicles? Is it the unbelievable love of the women who are protected from rape, beatings, acid attacks, illiteracy, stoning(a summary execution undertaken with a boulder pre-guillotine)?

Is it the cruelty of the American officer, or is it the ambushes endured for not wanting to run over a child?

Thunk thunk, big man.

Do you still think it is ok go rampaging throughout any semblance of civilization that has been built for you whenever you smell burning paper?

What do you think of martyrdom? A few metal balls in the stomachs of as many people as possible?

You, the world standing in observant horror, were not aware that the television is not reality?

Prison makes men gay.

The crackhead at the corner is talking fast for a reason. This is not a reason to give him millions of dollars.

Unfortunately, Barack is my president. Not yours.

It comes as no surprise that there are elements within the White House that would break such a development, what with the impending non-white global takeover.

I would know. A prior story about Africa’s resentment toward America wasn’t precisely true.

Half the world thinks they’re a black American.

I mean, nations were overthrown without a single one of them looking at this link:

Whoops.

Any luck for us nook users (Barnes & Noble)to get an e-book? ^^
If not no worries, I still plan to buy the book- asap.
~k

For outside US we’ll have the e-book first via Amazon.UK, and then we’ll add distribution for hard copies. For these limited number signed copis @ BFP: in the next two days we’ll add a separate purchase button for internaional sales. I have less than 20 copies left, but I have put aside a signed copy for you.

With regard other matters. The massacre cover-up in Afghanistan .

http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=86917&s2=30

Here are two versions of what happened the night of March 11, when 17 Afghan villagers were shot to death.

First, the Army version: Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, troubled by marriage woes, drunkenly left Camp Belambai, 12 miles from Kandahar, with a pistol and an automatic rifle and killed six people as they slept. Bales then returned to the base and left again for another village, this time killing 11. He acted alone and he admitted to the killings, according to the Army.

Then there is the account that child witnesses provided Yalda Hakim, a journalist for SBS Dateline in Australia. Hakim, who was born in Afghanistan and immigrated to Australia as a child, is the first international journalist to interview the surviving witnesses. She said American investigators tried to prevent her from interviewing the children, saying her questions could traumatize them. She said she appealed to village leaders, who arranged for her to interview the witnesses.

In the video, the children told Hakim that other Americans were present during the rampage, holding flashlights in the yard.

Which seems to relate directly to this latest cover up in Afghanistan.

Apropos his final sentence:

“When the extreme measures have run their course there will be nothing to fall back on and nothing can save the president of a collapsing empire from the revolt of its citizens and soldiers.

I fear that those who control the current system can see this all to clearly, hence the exponentially expanding surveillance/”Homeland Security” State – the Globalists I guess you could say, in spite of the emphasis on “Homeland”. The questions are: How far ahead of the curve are they? and how far will they/can they/are they prepared, to go?

GREAT piece! Well said! Thank you!

On the question of the seemingly stupid plots and ploys being devised by the PTB, one possible motivation of increasing the nationalization of the Iranian people is simply to have a singular enemy.

We call the Germans “German” because Caesar started calling something like 13 different tribes with unintelligible languages “Germanic People”, in order to simplify the politics of war funding and support.

They play hard and fast.

As you point out quite reasonably….. “Chivalry doesn’t go very far when your uncle was tortured, indiscriminate shelling killed your niece, and you don’t know where your family is”

And it isn’t as if we have to take anyones word to indict the Syrian Gov. for torture and worse..!! See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDuU7yR-nfM

I take the Supreme Courts decision NOT to hear Maher Arar’s appeal for a hearing as Prima Facie evidence of American complicity in Syrian torture.

In America, the “Ole Man” of rule of law has gotten the bums rush to histories dustbin….

As for the eventual outcome in Syria, I for one would not cry too many tears if the Neocons surprise party there had an unhappy ending. [for the Neocons]

As much as I hate Bashar al-Assad for doing torture for the Bush crime netwerk, I would hate to see any of the Palestinian’s friends be humbled.

So, I am fortunately neutral on the West’s Syrian pustch

thank you so very much for your work.

See pages 146-149 of “The Prince” on how this deal worked…

Also, Bob Graham discloses things he couldn’t discuss in “Intelligence Matters” in his recent “factional” novel, “Keys to the Kingdom”…

While one must guess to some extent to sort out the fictional details from the factual ones, there are some specific numbers relating to the al Yamamah deal to be found on pages 164-165, along with other banks involved besides Riggs.

Go ask Norway how their hearts feel.

In 21 years guy gets to go mock the relatives of the deceased.

Brutal American stupidity in action.

I guess the question is -

Do the victims qualify as human?

NATO and the US were the great heroes, while the downfall of the imperialist bastard Gaddafi and his fighters was hailed the world over.

Now the Pro-Gaddafi Tuareg fighters who have returned home are crying for help, and look to be soon receiving it. Nevermind the arrogance of the former president who sent small arms against truck-mounted Gatlings and RPGs.

How hollow must the word ‘president’ ring after, say, 10-40 years of rule prior to a shift in the media’s stance?

So, really, what is the difference?

At any other point in modern televised history, in any other situation, Assad is portrayed the world over as a despot worthy of vilification.

For whatever reason, that isn’t the case today.

Anyone?

sort of a dweeb.. beaurocrat… just following orders… “benign… monster” just follorin orders… Co. Klink.

bastard should get the same result too !!

Fair enough. But I do think the Peak Oil question is relevant to Uganda to the extent it impacts the price of oil and contributes to the notion of scarcity. I think these two elements figure into the actions of the big integrated oil companies and interested governments. Scarcity is a primary tool by which governments manipulate and control people. What would be the ramifications for these institutions of unlimited oil and gas beneath the earth’s surface?

Again, I am agnostic on the Peak Oil question because I have not been convinced one way or another. But keep in mind what a paradigm shift it would be to discover oil can be produced by abiotic processes. The people who believe otherwise will not accept such a revolutionary truth without a lot of resistance born of emotional, psychological, financial and professional investments in the current paradigm. They will fight it. They will call it quackery and marginalize anyone who believes it.

As for evidence, there’s a lot to study, and I haven’t done it. But here are a couple links to get started.
