"Okay, nobody bought China as the bad guy; let's blame the ARABS for the melt-down!" -- Official White Horse Souse

Really< I thought Osama did an excellent job of scaring Americans into supporting invasion and conquest! Except for that part about dying in 2001 he would have been very useful indeed! :P

My letter to the local newspaper, the StarAdvertiser...

(This letter is being posted to whatreallyhappened.com in connection with the Reuter’s poll described, as will your reply and whether the letter was published by you or not.)

Reuter’s just ran a poll asking people if the new intrusive security screenings at airports might affect their decision to fly.

As of this writing, 97% of respondents replied that they would indeed change travel plans to avoid terahertz scanners (now known to damage skin DNA and increase the risk of cancer) and the highly intrusive body searches.

I had a caller into my talk radio show yesterday who used to work in Berlin before the fall of the USSR and she reported that crossing Check Point Charlie into East Berlin was nowhere near the hassle of getting through a US airport, and that the Russian soldiers were quite polite and respectful compared to TSA workers. You know your nation has hit rock bottom in the dictatorship department when the Soviet guards look better than TSA!

It is time to face facts. Hawaii’s present economic disaster is directly attributable to the destruction of tourism caused by the TSA. I grieve that none of our state leaders have the moral courage to stand up and denounce this charade that is strangling our state’s tourism economy. Although the papers may proclaim that all is well, my wife and I took a stroll in Waikiki recently, where newspaper platitudes cannot conceal the numerous commercial vacancies and sparse crowds. Compared to Hawaii as it was when my wife and I first moved here thirteen years ago, Waikiki is a ghost town.

And TSA is to blame.

According to Harvard Business School, TSA does not actually make us any safer. The fact is that since 9-11, there has not been a single incident of attempted terror or hijacking originating from a domestic US airport. The few “wag the terrorist” attempts we see in the media usually involve foreign airports where the suspect is walked around the existing airport security by anonymous officials as was the case with the staged crotch-bomber incident last Christmas, when Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was walked around the body scanners at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport by an official for ICTS security and allowed to board a plane for the US without a passport. (As a side note, ICTS was also in charge of security at the airport where the Shoe Bomber walked around security, as well as every airport the 9-11 planes departed from, but I digress). Even DHS admits that half of their practice bombs get through TSA despite the groping and fondling. A real terrorist (as opposed to Adam Gadahn, whose real name is Adam Pearlman, or Youssef Al-Khattab, whose real name is Joseph Cohen, or Abu Tellah Al-Amrikee, the “muslim” who threatened South Park and whose real name is Zachery Chesser) would accept a fifty-fifty chance to get a bomb on a plane, knowing that if he is detected at the security checkpoint, he can detonate the bomb there and still accomplish the mission of disrupting US travel. Of course, there are no real terrorists disrupting US travel; the TSA hates competition, and jokes aside, the only terrorists are the ones being wagged about to justify another war on whoever it is we are supposed to two-minute-hate this week. Eastasia (I think).

So why does this abuse go on, slowing dragging Hawaii down into abject poverty and ruin? Well, because while Hawaiians may starve (we have over 4000 homeless on Oahu alone) these security machines are making their owners very rich indeed! Just as Eisenhower faced the “Military Industrial Complex” of the fifties, today we are dealing with a “Security Industrial Complex”; a cadre of opportunists who wave terrorists at us in the same fashion their predecessors waved “Commies” at our parents,. And for the same reason; to scare us all out of money and obedience. Michael Chertoff kicked off this airport security hysteria while head of Homeland Security, then left his job to found the Chertoff Group, which profits handsomely providing security consulting, services and systems to airports around the country. Chertoff Group also employs General Michael V. Hayden, former director of both the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency. These are all the people who mandated increased airport security, and now as private citizens profit handsomely from their own policies made while in office. This is classic political looting of the public; create a crisis that does not really exist, and sell the people a solution. Commies. Terrorists. Carbon Dioxide. Killer bees. Over and over and over again. Wake up and smell the rubber gloves, people! You have been HAD! Swindled, Bamboozled, Conned! And the Chertoff group is not the only player getting rich off of the gratuitous fear-mongering.

Killer bees have gone away, along with Y2K and the 1970s claim that we were headed into a new ice age. Even the global warming/CO2 crowd are in retreat with the collapse of Obama and Al Gore’s Chicago Climate Exchange. If Hawaiians wish to save Hawaii the time has come to stop quaking in fear at the fiery head of the great and powerful Wizard of Oz and realize it’s just a greedy old snake oil salesman behind a curtain flashing lights at us and trying to scare us into taking on the Wicked Witch of the West. (Don’t do it; witches have air superiority).

We need a political leadership that will stand up to the hoaxers and say that they have looted enough money at Hawaii’s expense. We need a local media that serves the Hawaiian people rather than the security industrial complex.

Only time will tell if we get them.

What happens if half to three quarters of the people who travel decide to never get on a plane again?!?

It will be devastating for the airline, hospitality, and restaurant industries.

Unfortunately, unless this insanity by TSA stops, that is precisely what will happen.

Not that these Israelis are in the slightest way being racist, or anything tacky like that!

Something tells me this documentary will NOT be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize nor an Oscar ... not that anybody gives a rat's derrière about those any more.

You think?

This video provides a larger context for the earlier clip regarding the mythical "Foundation X". In this expanded clip, we start with Christopher Story explaining the links between CIA and the EU, and the pure criminality of the US financial system, including the illegality of derivatives. Christopher makes a convincing argument that the US financial system is using the money looted from the rest of the world to reshape future politics. We then segue to Lord James and his rant about "Foundation X", suggesting that this hoax is another aspect of the globalist agenda.

Then why was Calvi left swinging from Blackfriars Bridge?

Wow! Déjà vu!

And a really large size version for printing is HERE

By refusing to try this case (which would probably come apart at the seams under the normal process of American jurisprudence), the US government has institutionalized indefinite detention without trial, just as it has previously institutionalized torture.

And the big ugly stink it appears no one wants to deal with in this case (which is why this guy may rot at Gitmo for the rest of his life), is that Mohammed's "confession" was elicited under torture.

As reported on 23 March, 2007 at:

http://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2007/03/cia_torture_and.html

"In the case of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, it appears that with torture you can get someone to confess to masterminding the entire al-Qaeda attack on the United States. Senior FBI officials are questioning some of Sheikh Mohammed's assertions of guilt and remind us of the FBI's concern about torture techniques used by both the CIA and the US military on prisoners in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo, techniques that can elicit confessions just to get the torturers to stop."

Citing the "Laws of War" as an excuse for indefinite detention doesn't work at all in the case of Khalid Mohammed, because, according to the Constitution, only Congress can declare war. Congress did no such thing before the invasions and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Also, under the rules of law, there is no such thing as an "enemy combatant"; that is something the previous administration made up out of thin air!

There are only prisoners of war, and these prisoners of war should be dealt with under the provisions of the Geneva
Accords, to which the US is still (at least on paper) a signatory.

The US government officials aren't afraid of some terrorist act happening because such a trial would go forward; it is terrified that because Mohammed's confession was obtained under torture, it would be immediately thrown out under normal judicial procedure.

The Congress is about to legalize land-snatching!

That IS their home!

Watch for the US to set terms even more unacceptable to Iran than they were originally to make sure these meetings go nowhere, if in fact the meetings do happen.
