1. “The perps and the PTB have met their terror, and it’s us, the 9/11 “truthers”.
Let them be on notice, that they already lost this war this info war and psyop, when they tried to have everyone believe that supertall steel skycrapers in New York City can suddently defy the very laws of physics!
No Zelikow, your myth will not be adopted by virtue of being the predominantly held view by the relevant polical and social elite “ruling class”. You and they Mr. Zelikow, live in and on an island of reality, which is fast shrinking and soon, which will vanish in an instant, evoking a universal shift of perception, relative to which your worldview will no longer bear any weight except in relation to the sheer weight and magnitude of your own hubris and criminal intent.
History will know the truth and the truth shall set us free.”

2. “I am a bit surprised that a Harvard Law Professor doesn’t leap at the opportunity to publicly debate a bunch of whackos like architect Richard Gage AIA or a plebian like Jack Rabbit. Why can’t he use his impenetrable Harvard logic, scientific method, and Harvard debating skills to discredit people who he pretends don’t have their facts straight?
Or does he know how to pick his fights – and knows the only way to stop a movement with the truth behind it is by corrupting the very laws that provide the citizens with the checks and balances on their government. The checks and balances that make a free society capable of dispelling myth through open debate – a society that can stop witchhunts because logic and reason rule over fear mongering and emergency measures that rob us of our liberty?”

3. “Americans should no longer talk of terrorism or fear it because it is largely an empty threat. One is more likely to be eaten by a shark than killed in a terrorist attack. The effectiveness of the US government in sustaining fear through its combating of terror guarantees continuous war, makes for big government, and blinds America’s policymakers to reality. There are many groups out in the world vying for power. Some are unscrupulous in how they would achieve control, including willingness to employ terror. But most could care less about Washington as long as the United States leaves them alone. Leaving them alone might well be the best foreign and security policy that the United States could embrace.”

4. “Justice Department Report Details ‘Egregious’ FBI Crimes
FBI Officials Lied to Courts, Filed Phony Letters Based on Non-Existent Emergencies”
http://news.antiwar.com/2010/01/20/justice-department-report-details-egregious-fbi-crimes/
… and:
“Even these pseudolegalities look downright upright next to the FBI’s other informal methods of obtaining records, which included requests by email, phone, post-it note, and in-person oral communication as well as “sneak peeks,” which were about as legitimate as they sound. The failure to follow the established NSL process is legally significant because ECPA prohibits telecom companies from disclosing customer records to the government except in specified circumstances. One of them is not when an FBI agent shows up at your office and says, “Mind if I take a look at that?”
…
This episode speaks volumes about the willingness and ability of the FBI (or any law enforcement agency) to police itself. The natural tendency to cut corners for the sake of a noble goal, and to overlook such corner cutting when it’s done by your colleagues, is one reason why it’s a good idea to have someone outside the agency review its demands for information. Once that requirement is eliminated, it is not safe to assume that the remaining precautions will actually be followed, let alone be adequate to protect the privacy of innocent people.”

5. “Haiti: Shades of FDR and the Jews
President Obama and other U.S. officials, who purport to be good and caring people through their delivery of U.S. taxpayer money to Haiti, have a message to the Haitian people. It’s the same message that President Franklin D. Roosevelt had toward Jews trying to escape Nazi Germany. The message is simple: No matter who much you are suffering, no matter how close to death you might be, don’t even think for a moment of escaping your conditions by coming to the United States.
…
Let’s be blunt. There are two reasons why Haitians will not be permitted to escape their horrific conditions through emigration to the United States: They’re black and they’re destitute. If white Anglo-Saxon Britons were suffering the same horrific conditions that Haitians are suffering, there is no question but that U.S. officials would be welcoming them with open arms.
…
Today’s America declares: If you are suffering tyranny or disaster, our government will show you how caring and compassion it is with its bombs, missiles, bullets, embargoes, sanctions, and military and financial aid, provided with the money that the IRS forcibly extracts from the American people. But don’t even think about polluting our shores with your stinking bodies because our government’s forces will immediately take you into custody and repatriate you to the tyranny and destitution from which you came “

6. “World Health Agencies Condemn Israeli Blockade of Gaza (Again); Obama’s Biggest Mideast Failure
When a relief plane for the Physicians without Borders isn’t allowed to land by US military authorities at the airport in Port-au-Prince, there is an outcry.
But Israeli military authorities will not allow any relief planes at all to land in the Gaza Strip (the Israelis destroyed Gaza’s airport in 2001).
We cheer when a Haitian child is rescued from the rubble, but ignore the thousands of Gazan children who are suffering malnutrition and being buried by Israeli policy, a policy that is a war crime. I am of course not the only to be struck by this contrast: see also Phil Weiss and others quoted at his essential site.
On Wednesday, 80 international aid groups called upon Israel to change its policy of blockading civilians in Gaza, because it is having severe negative effects on the health of Gazans.
…
Collectively punishing 1.5 million Gazans in order to weaken Hamas is in any case strictly illegal in international law and is a war crime.”

8. “Media Disinformation: TV Networks Give Americans a “Sanitized Version of War”
Pulaski wrote the networks engaged in frequent “personalization and individualization” “to gain a wide audience” during their Operation Iraqi Freedom coverage. “Similar to guests on a talk show, biographies of soldiers were detailed along with shots of family farewells and reunions all in an effort to identify with the audience and of course in turn boost ratings.”
What Pulaski refers to as the networks’ “infotainment style of coverage” is characterized by “lack of anti-war commentary, sanitization of news and lack of reporter objectivity.” She points out that Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting(FAIR), a media watchdog organization, reported that in the critical three weeks following March 20th, 2003, opponents of the Iraq War were greatly underrepresented on TV.
After monitoring ABC World News Tonight, Fox’s Special Report with Brit Hume, and PBS’s News Hour With Jim Lehrer, among others, FAIR found that only 10% of news sources interviewed were opposed to the war and that criticism of military planning was rare, Pulaski wrote.
Pulaski goes on to note the U.S. government “heavily censored” some 600 “embedded” reporters traveling with the military and that the reporters “were not allowed to go far from their units, thus possibly missing out on many noteworthy causes.” She noted that Norman Solomon, director of the Institute for Public Accuracy, has said embedded reporters “may as well be getting a P.R. retainer from the Pentagon.”
Loss of objectivity could also be seen in the wave of patriotism that swept through media coverage, Pulaski wrote, including reporters with flags on their lapels and stars and stripes waving in the background. MSNBC, she noted, displayed a wall of heroes entitled “America’s Bravest” which contained photos of loved ones overseas sent by viewers. “This wave of patriotism, apparent after the September 11th attacks, led to a sanitized and biased version of the war coverage.”

9. “Ron Paul: After ‘CIA Coup,’ Agency ‘Runs Military’
There’s been a coup, have you heard? It’s the CIA coup. The CIA runs everything, they run the military. They’re the ones who are over there lobbing missiles and bombs on countries. … And of course the CIA is every bit as secretive as the Federal Reserve. … And yet think of the harm they have done since they were established [after] World War II. They are a government unto themselves. They’re in businesses, in drug businesses, they take out dictators … We need to take out the CIA.”

10. “The Surveillance Society:
Trading Freedom For The Illusion Of Safety
Governments, regardless of their political structure or historical background, have always striven to not only control information, but also to gather it from the people by covert means. Often, this secretive observation of the citizenry escalates into a completely open and full-fledged surveillance state. The U.S. in particular stands on a precarious edge: the line between abhorring invasion of privacy, and embracing invasion of privacy as necessary for the “greater good.” Many people assume that such a mindset is forced on the masses by the elite, that strength of arms is somehow required to make them accept the conditions of a police state, but this is not always so. It is very difficult for governments, despite any technological developments or resources they may have, to enforce and maintain a fascistic political construct. In order to retain control, they must build a “Surveillance Culture;” a society in which the people watch each other, and where individuals censor themselves instead of being censored by the authorities. In the end, a police state cannot exist without the help of the people it means to dominate. By spying on each other, we destroy ourselves.
But how does a nation reach such a point in its collective psyche? How are we driven to passive enslavement? In this article we will examine the methods used by governments and aristocratic minorities to manipulate the majority towards self imprisonment, as well as examples of how this process is burgeoning in the U.S. at this very moment…”
