The caller obviously doesn't realize that Star Wars is a metaphor for the systems of tyranny in our own history and present day realities. George Lucas is a great filmmaker, and like Alex Jones says, THX 1138 and Star Wars are excellent examples of his attempts to entertain and inform.

I know there are people reading this blog regularly (interestingly a few who read it nearly daily who I am unaware who they are), and there are even more people that find it randomly surfing the web.

I would like to continue posting information that is informative, pertinent, and entertaing, but most of all, I'd like to know what the average internet user thinks about this information.

Pentagon considers Navy buildup in Gulf

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Defense Department is thinking about a major buildup of U.S. Navy forces in the Gulf as a show of force against Iran, a senior defense official said Tuesday.
Speaking on condition of anonymity because the idea has not been approved, the official said one proposal is to send a second aircraft carrier to the region amid increasing tensions with Iran, blamed for encouraging sectarian violence in neighboring Iran as well as allegedly pursuing a nuclear weapons program.

Pentagon: Militia more dangerous than al Qaeda in Iraq

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Shiite Muslim cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's Mehdi Army has replaced al Qaeda in Iraq as "the most dangerous accelerant" of the sectarian violence plaguing Iraq for nearly a year, according to a Pentagon report.

Al-Sadr is a suspected ally of the Iranian Government.

Iran: Sanctions won't stop nuclear plans

KERMANSHAH, Iran - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that U.N. sanctions would not stop Iran from pursuing its uranium enrichment program.

The United States and its European allies are seeking sanctions against Iran because of its refusal to stop uranium enrichment, a technology that can be used to produce nuclear fuel for civilian purposes or fuel for a nuclear bomb.

Valiant Shield was a large war game conducted by the United States military in the Pacific Ocean in June 2006. The exercise began on 19 June 2006 and lasted for five days, concluding on 24 June 2006. According to the Navy, Valiant Shield focused on cooperation between military branches and on the detection, tracking, and engagement of units at sea, in the air, and on land in response to a wide range of missions. The exercise involved 22,000 personnel, 280 aircraft, and thirty ships, including the supercarriers USS Kitty Hawk, USS Abraham Lincoln, and USS Ronald Reagan. It was the largest military exercise to be conducted by the United States in Pacific waters since the Vietnam War, and it was also the first time observers from the People's Republic of China were allowed to view U.S. wargames. The exercise marked the first of what will become biennial exercises involving different branches of the U.S. military.

An unruly market may undo the work of a giant cartel and of an inspired, decades-long ad campaign

by Edward Jay Epstein

THE diamond invention -- the creation of the idea that diamonds are rare and valuable, and are essential signs of esteem -- is a relatively recent development in the history of the diamond trade. Until the late nineteenth century, diamonds were found only in a few riverbeds in India and in the jungles of Brazil, and the entire world production of gem diamonds amounted to a few pounds a year. In 1870, however, huge diamond mines were discovered near the Orange River, in South Africa, where diamonds were soon being scooped out by the ton. Suddenly, the market was deluged with diamonds. The British financiers who had organized the South African mines quickly realized that their investment was endangered; diamonds had little intrinsic value -- and their price depended almost entirely on their scarcity. The financiers feared that when new mines were developed in South Africa, diamonds would become at best only semiprecious gems.

I'm sure some of those who read this blog are still having a hard time coming to terms with the idea that the U.S. government was complicit in the attacks of September 11th, 2001. This isn't surprising. It took nearly 3 years of research for me to be completely convinced. When you are presented with an idea so horrendous, so despicable, so...unbelievable...it becomes just that, hard to believe. This post is dedicated to exposing something even more horrible than any government sponsored terrorist attack could ever be.

What would you say if I told you that corrupt elements of the US government and the CIA are involved in organizing the largest child sex ring in the world? What if I told you they are responsible for kidnapping thousands of US children each year? You'd be shocked. You'd probably be in disbelief. Well, so was I until I did some digging.

Please, if you only research one thing, this should be it.

First of all, what do you think is the answer to the headline for this post? To me, pure evil would be human beings that are supposed to protect the innocent, people who are supposed to save the weak, leaders who are supposed to defend a nation taking advantage of the power they wield and doing the most heinous acts imaginable. Why? Because it's the only way they can get their thrills and because they know that no one will believe it.

I want to leave my analysis out of it. I'm not trying to promote an ideology. I belong to no political party and I care only about revealing the truth. It should be expected that the most disgusting and evil things in the world are hidden. I will simply show you the door, it is your choice to walk through it. It will be up to you to make your own analysis.

Global Hawk Spy Drone Makes First Official Air Combat Command Flight Across USA

Gretchen Carlson expressed skepticism about those people who are worried about invasion of privacy, saying "You know, I don't completely understand this whole controversy when people get all up in arms over the fact that someone may be watching. I mean, for goodness sake, we don't know who's even listening to our phone calls. I know, I know that's a big deal and all that but - aren't you busy in your life and you're worrying about other things goin' on with your family and stuff like that, not worrying about who might be watching you and listening to you with a drone. I don't know. It doesn't bother me."

Air Combat Command Flight?!?!?!

Sorry, Gretchen, I'm sure caring about your job, family, AND the government spying on you is just a little much for a former Miss America posing as a journalist. Thankfully, I'm not, and I can multitask.

Did the CIA kill Bobby Kennedy?
The London Guardian November 20, 2006 Shane O'Sullivan

At first, it seems an open-and-shut case. On June 5 1968, Robert Kennedy wins the California Democratic primary and is set to challenge Richard Nixon for the White House. After midnight, he finishes his victory speech at the Ambassador hotel in Los Angeles and is shaking hands with kitchen staff in a crowded pantry when 24-year-old Palestinian Sirhan Sirhan steps down from a tray-stacker with a "sick, villainous smile" on his face and starts firing at Kennedy with an eight-shot revolver.

As Kennedy lies dying on the pantry floor, Sirhan is arrested as the lone assassin. He carries the motive in his shirt-pocket (a clipping about Kennedy's plans to sell bombers to Israel) and notebooks at his house seem to incriminate him. But the autopsy report suggests Sirhan could not have fired the shots that killed Kennedy. Witnesses place Sirhan's gun several feet in front of Kennedy, but the fatal bullet is fired from one inch behind. And more bullet-holes are found in the pantry than Sirhan's gun can hold, suggesting a second gunman is involved. Sirhan's notebooks show a bizarre series of "automatic writing" - "RFK must die RFK must be killed - Robert F Kennedy must be assassinated before 5 June 68" - and even under hypnosis, he has never been able to remember shooting Kennedy. He recalls "being led into a dark place by a girl who wanted coffee", then being choked by an angry mob. Defence psychiatrists conclude he was in a trance at the time of the shooting and leading psychiatrists suggest he may have be a hypnotically programmed assassin. Three years ago, I started writing a screenplay about the assassination of Robert Kennedy, caught up in a strange tale of second guns and "Manchurian candidates" (as the movie termed brainwashed assassins). As I researched the case, I uncovered new video and photographic evidence suggesting that three senior CIA operatives were behind the killing. I did not buy the official ending that Sirhan acted alone, and started dipping into the nether-world of "assassination research", crossing paths with David Sanchez Morales, a fearsome Yaqui Indian.

Morales was a legendary figure in CIA covert operations. According to close associate Tom Clines, if you saw Morales walking down the street in a Latin American capital, you knew a coup was about to happen. When the subject of the Kennedys came up in a late-night session with friends in 1973, Morales launched into a tirade that finished: "I was in Dallas when we got the son of a bitch and I was in Los Angeles when we got the little bastard." From this line grew my odyssey into the spook world of the 60s and the secrets behind the death of Bobby Kennedy.

Working from a Cuban photograph of Morales from 1959, I viewed news coverage of the assassination to see if I could spot the man the Cubans called El Gordo - The Fat One. Fifteen minutes in, there he was, standing at the back of the ballroom, in the moments between the end of Kennedy's speech and the shooting. Thirty minutes later, there he was again, casually floating around the darkened ballroom while an associate with a pencil moustache took notes.

The source of early research on Morales was Bradley Ayers, a retired US army captain who had been seconded to JM-Wave, the CIA's Miami base in 1963, to work closely with chief of operations Morales on training Cuban exiles to run sabotage raids on Castro. I tracked Ayers down to a small town in Wisconsin and emailed him stills of Morales and another guy I found suspicious - a man who is pictured entering the ballroom from the direction of the pantry moments after the shooting, clutching a small container to his body, and being waved towards an exit by a Latin associate.

Ayers' response was instant. He was 95% sure that the first figure was Morales and equally sure that the other man was Gordon Campbell, who worked alongside Morales at JM-Wave in 1963 and was Ayers' case officer shortly before the JFK assassination.
I put my script aside and flew to the US to interview key witnesses for a documentary on the unfolding story. In person, Ayers positively identified Morales and Campbell and introduced me to David Rabern, a freelance operative who was part of the Bay of Pigs invasion force in 1961 and was at the Ambassador hotel that night. He did not know Morales and Campbell by name but saw them talking to each other out in the lobby before the shooting and assumed they were Kennedy's security people. He also saw Campbell around police stations three or four times in the year before Robert Kennedy was shot.

This was odd. The CIA had no domestic jurisdiction and Morales was stationed in Laos in 1968. With no secret service protection for presidential candidates in those days, Kennedy was guarded by unarmed Olympic decathlete champion Rafer Johnson and football tackler Rosey Grier - no match for an expert assassination team.

Trawling through microfilm of the police investigation, I found further photographs of Campbell with a third figure, standing centre-stage in the Ambassador hotel hours before the shooting. He looked Greek, and I suspected he might be George Joannides, chief of psychological warfare operations at JM-Wave. Joannides was called out of retirement in 1978 to act as the CIA liaison to the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) investigating the death of John F Kennedy.

Ed Lopez, now a respected lawyer at Cornell University, came into close contact with Joann-des when he was a young law student working for the committee. We visit him and show him the photograph and he is 99% sure it is Joannides. When I tell him where it was taken, he is not surprised: "If these guys decided you were bad, they acted on it.

We move to Washington to meet Wayne Smith, a state department official for 25 years who knew Morales well at the US embassy in Havana in 1959-60. When we show him the video in the ballroom, his response is instant: "That's him, that's Morales." He remembers Morales at a cocktail party in Buenos Aires in 1975, saying Kennedy got what was coming to him. Is there a benign explanation for his presence? For Kennedy's security, maybe? Smith laughs. Morales is the last person you would want to protect Bobby Kennedy, he says. He hated the Kennedys, blaming their lack of air support for the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961.

We meet Clines in a hotel room near CIA headquarters. He does not want to go on camera and brings a friend, which is a little unnerving. Clines remembers "Dave" fondly. The guy in the video looks like Morales but it is not him, he says: "This guy is fatter and Morales walked with more of a slouch and his tie down." To me, the guy in the video does walk with a slouch and his tie is down.

Clines says he knew Joannides and Campbell and it is not them either, but he fondly remembers Ayers bringing snakes into JM-Wave to scare the secretaries and seems disturbed at Smith's identification of Morales. He does not discourage our investigation and suggests others who might be able to help. A seasoned journalist cautions that he would expect Clines "to blow smoke", and yet it seems his honest opinion.

As we leave Los Angeles, I tell the immigration officer that I am doing a story on Bobby Kennedy. She has seen the advertisements for the new Emilio Estevez movie about the assassination, Bobby. "Who do you think did it? I think it was the Mob," she says before I can answer.

"I definitely think it was more than one man," I say, discreetly.
Morales died of a heart attack in 1978, weeks before he was to be called before the HSCA. Joannides died in 1990. Campbell may still be out there somewhere, in his early 80s. Given the positive identifications we have gathered on these three, the CIA and the Los Angeles Police Department need to explain what they were doing there. Lopez believes the CIA should call in and interview everybody who knew them, disclose whether they were on a CIA operation and, if not, why they were there that night.

Today would have been Robert Kennedy's 81st birthday. The world is crying out for a compassionate leader like him. If dark forces were behind his elimination, it needs to be investigated

Cop uses stun gun on student who won't show ID

UCLA Police Taser Student For Not Showing ID

This UCLA student was tasered multiple times by campus police for refusing to show his ID. Students begin to come to the aid of the student, who is clearly being tortured by the police and demand that he stand after having thousands of watts forcefully surged through his body, but they are told to stand back or they will be tased as well.



I hope it doesn't take witnessing a horrible event like this yourself before you realize the tyranny that is enveloping our society.

Regardless of whether or not this student was breaking the law, the force used was life threatening and obviously unnecessary. He was unarmed, non-threatening, and simply non-compliant. Surely not deserving of multiple taser shocks.

Call for Probe of UCLA Muslim Student Taser Incident

Reposted from: Opinion/Editorial - Ashland Daily Tidings

Anniversaries cause us to instinctively pause and reflect, just as our leg jolts forward after a well-positioned tap on the knee. In honor of our veterans — to whom we owe a debt we can never repay — the least we can do on this Veteran's Day is look back at the decisions made that sent our troops into battle, and the roles we played in those decisions. Perhaps upon reflection, our reaction may change.

The fifth anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001 served as the reflex hammer touch to the knee of American conscience. As the country attended memorials and revisited painful memories of 9/11, the reflection also opened our collective mind once again to the many unanswered questions, legitimate concerns and conflicting evidence in the official description of those events.
For us at the Daily Tidings the event served to open discussion among us about this complex subject, about the conspiracy theories that abound in Internet chats, blogs and so-called investigative reports and most importantly, the questions regarding the media's role in this ongoing issue.

A month later we have found very little we all agreed on. We especially disagree on the role of the media. Since the Tidings doesn't cover New York City, Washington, D.C. or the federal government, the ambiguity is shaded with absolution.

Nevertheless we are each members of the fourth estate, an essential conglomeration of individuals who adhere to professional guidelines, and who care passionately about this demanding and often thankless opus. With that membership — we can all agree on some level — comes a responsibility to giving the public the accurate information it needs to make informed decisions. Thus, somewhere in all the banter, we stumbled on one thing we at the Tidings' truly can agree on.

Apparently, we are not alone. Based on the results of this hallmark 2006 election, the American people are finally asking for change. They don't like our involvement in Iraq. They voted out many members of the party that put us there. Perhaps they are also ready to question the events and decisions that put us there as well. Perhaps they are ready to ask what really happened on Sept. 11.

We think so. And we call on our colleagues to join us in asking questions.
Every single American daily newspaper must demand of our congressional leaders and those in the executive branch that an independent council be formed to completely and thoroughly investigate the deaths of nearly 3,000 American citizens in the attack of 9/11 — an attack that took place on American soil.

Forget the conspiracy theories for a minute and set aside the political gamesmanship. We are a country that spent five years and $100 million investigating President Clinton. We probed the depths of the Iran-Contra scandal — a debacle that would have never come fully into the public eye had a special investigator not been appointed.

This administration has spent far more energy and time seeking the leak of Valerie Plame's identity and Barry Bonds' use of steroids than it has in fully explaining how three skyscrapers crumbled in an instant and nearly 3,000 people were killed. While an independent investigation may never fully answer every question, it will help to heal the wounds of this nation and widespread distrust of our leaders this attack has caused.

This historic tragedy ranks among the worst days in American history. We owe it to every American — but especially those who do battle on our behalf at the behest of our leaders — to spare no expense and allow no party loyalty to dissuade us. The government works for us. If it failed us, either in malfeasance or incompetence, then we must know that. If our current actions around the world are shaped by misinformation, we must know that too. Finally, if what we now believe to be true is only further proven, we would do well to hear the evidence that confirms it. If the government's version of the events of that day are absolutely true, then scrutiny will amplify that truth and lay to rest the skepticism that remains to this day.

If, however, the questions that remain serve to shed light on new information, that too serves the public. And it is the responsibility of this trusted media industry to dig, probe, investigate and uncover the truth behind government events and decisions that impact the public. On this Veterans Day, we can do no less on behalf of the brave men and women who have been sent to the Middle East based upon rationale that stems directly from the events of 9/11. While we pay homage to all veterans of the Armed Forces today, we are reminded of our duty to watch closely those leaders in the White House and Congress who make the decisions to send our troops to war.

We invite every single American daily newspaper to join us in our demand for an independent council to completely and thoroughly investigate the deaths of nearly 3,000 American citizens in the attacks of 9/11.
America will be better informed, and this is our job.

I have decided that my current schedule prevents me from having the time or ambition to update as frequently as I'd like. I've decided to have one dedicated post each week. I'm calling it the Sunday Special. I will update at other times off and on, but you're guaranteed Sunday.

So, another election has come and gone. It looks like we had a HUGE VICTORY, as Americans! HAHA! Yes, our will has been inacted and the people have spoken. Right? I don't think so.

First of all, I didn't vote in this previous election for 2 reasons. One, I am not registered to vote in the state of California and I didn't recieve an absentee ballot. Two, I am simply disgusted with our current electoral system and I have absolutely no confidence in it's ability to acurately represent the people. Our current political system is a joke. Recently, Alex Jones said it best on his daily radio broadcast.

"It's like you tell a child they have the choice to go to bed at either 8pm
or 8:30pm. Of course the child is going to pick 8:30pm. Really, you just wanted to get them to bed by 9pm."

Another good analogy is the idea of Good cop, Bad cop. The practice is simple. When law enforcement wants to get a certain response or retrieve specific information from a suspect they employ a tactic of alternating between a nice guy policeman and a bully policeman. They take turns. First the bully will abuse the suspect and demand that he answer his questions and then the nice guy will come in and try to become friends with the suspect. Both using their own tactics and the comparison of the other as a means to get what they want. In our government, at least in the last few years, you could say the same. Of course it's far more complicated than any single analogy could begin to express, but I think you get the idea.

Now, after the circus election in which they are conditioning us to accept these ridiculous voting machines, we are supposed to believe that the elections are still legitimate with all the possibilities for fraud. Honestly, I believe everything that has happened in the last 6 years shows that our election system is secondary to the will of the elite.

Why should we believe that the democrats coming into office is going to change anything. The current administration has already done so much harm to our rights. They have lied to us about a half trillion dollar war that continues for profit instead of doing what is needed for victory, passed disguting legislation that ruins the fundemental aspects of our republic, and continue to openly insult every fiber of my libery loving american soul.

And what is going to happen now? Will any of the Military Commisions Act be repealed? This legislation allows anyone, including an American citizen in America, to be charged as an Enemy Combatant and held at the will of the president with no right to a trial or representation. This is a serious breech of American Justice.

The democrats who were screaming for impeachment now say that it isn't their desire. Well, they are right about one thing. It wouldn't do any good to impeach George Bush. He's simply a puppet.

There are some serious issues taking place people! Rome wasn't built in one day and the United States of America won't become a tyrannical fear driven dictatorship in one day either.


Olbermann's the man!

I recently found this article from the school newspaper of the University I attended, The Daily Texan. I really enjoyed my time at UT and it never ceases to amaze me how much about Austin and UT I really do love. I will return. Austin and the University of Texas made me love Texas. Although many people assume that Texas is backwards, real Texans believe what they say and demand freedom. We could be our own country, we bless the US with our company.

Protests, insults disrupt Kristol 9/11 speech

The Daily Texan | By Cara Henis

A speech by William Kristol, former chief of staff for former vice president Dan Quayle and editor of The Weekly Standard magazine, turned hostile Tuesday when students began hurling insults at Kristol, alleging his and the U.S. government's complicity in the Sept. 11 attacks.

"9/11 is your Pearl Harbor," said one student protestor, referring to a pre-Sept. 11 statement released by the Project for a New American Century, a conservative think tank Kristol chairs.

In a Sept. 2000 report titled "Rebuilding America's Defenses, " the group wrote, "Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor."

Some of the student protestors are members of the new UT student organization, Project for the New American Citizen, but the group did not officially organize the protest, said founder Matt Dayton. The nonpartisan, anti-imperialism group encourages people to seek out truthful information regarding the U.S. government's policies and actions, said Dayton, an art studio and radio-television-film junior. The group's name is a counter to Kristol's neoconservative think tank.

Dayton said students from his organization protested Kristol because he refuses to address what was said in the Sept. 2000 report.

"They openly needed a new Pearl Harbor in order to enact their new foreign policy," Dayton said. "It's either use it or lose it with your freedom of speech," he said.

Kristol's speech, which focused on the state of U.S. politics, the condition of the media and the significance of Sept. 11, drew about 200 students, staff and citizens to the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs Tuesday.

Radio-television-film graduate Aaron Dykes, who works for radio host Alex Jones, was escorted from the building by police after repeatedly interrupting Kristol.

"We're trying to expose the truth about 9/11," Dykes said.

Similar but more vehement protests disrupted another conservative speaker, author Ann Coulter, when she spoke on campus in May 2005. Lewd comments and gestures interrupted Coulter's speech, resulting in one student's arrest.Police charged him with disorderly conduct.

"I came here to learn, and I feel it disintegrated," said business graduate student Ted Egner. "It's kind of embarrassing to the school."

Regarding the current political climate, Kristol said the U.S. government is approaching a period of monumental change with the 2008 presidential elections. However, he said he is unsure how power may shift between the political parties.

Kristol also said the media has become more "democratized" than in the past, because citizens now have access to more independent sources of information, such as the Internet, rather than having to rely on mainstream news sources.

Although Kristol said he did not initially believe the Sept. 11 attacks would have a lasting impact on American society, he now recognizes the extent to which the attacks have changed politics and society in general.

"It's an interesting time to be thinking about policy," Kristol said. "The world can be dangerous without American intervention. The risk in the future is we will do too little, not too much."

Though he is known as a neoconservative, Kristol said he doesn't find the term derogatory. He said neoconservatism is useful, because he thinks it corrects some mistakes of classical liberalism and conservatism.

"If it implies hawkish foreign policy, skeptical to government programs, but not hostile towards them, and a moderately conservative attitude to social aspects, it is fine with me," Kristol said. Kristol has worked for several conservative think tanks, including the American Enterprise Institute.

Kristol said speaking in Austin was important to him, because he likes to promote diversity in a campus he described as a liberal "blue dot" in a conservative "red state." However, he said his goal was not to spread the conservative agenda.

"I figured Austin deserved a conservative voice," he said.

The event was cosponsored by the schools of journalism and public affairs. James Steinberg, LBJ School dean, said the schools asked Kristol to speak because he is a prevalent figure in both politics and the media.

"We are friends and have been colleagues for a long time," Steinberg said. "He has had experience in practice and has taught public policy, so he was a particularly good choice."

You should also watch the video taken by those removed from the lecture. While it may have been rude for someone to interupt a speaker, there are serious issues in the room, and few times in which those with influence are open to discuss. Real life.

I have recently become and employee for Lionsgate, a film and television production and distribution company in Santa Monica, CA. I'm very excited about this opportunity to get my foot in the door at an excellent company. I have been hired as an Administrative Assitant for the IT department. Basically my job requires a lot of paper shuffling, but the way I see it, I'm putting in my time now and soon I can work my way in to a position in Development. Only time will tell.

This is what the Lionsgate website says about the company:

About Lionsgate

Its prestigious and prolific library is a valuable source of stable, recurring revenue and is a foundation for the growth of the Company’s core businesses.

My normal work hours are 9am-6pm (w/ 1hr lunch) Monday - Friday.

I'm currently looking for an apartment in the City of Santa Monica. Soon I will be established in a new home, with a new roommate, a new job, and a whole new portion of my story. I'm hoping that being a member of this company winds up being a great part of my life.

I had a post a few weeks back that had a side note in the end about a rumor of an "event" taking place in October, terrorist or otherwise. Well, with October right around the corner, the information coming from places as high up as the White house is certainly heating up this rumor. Check out this NewsMax article.

Let it be known that the polls clearly show that Democratic candidates get 51% of the vote and Republicans get 42%. Looks like they will need quite a boost to win the mid-term election.

The fact that we can get an article like this is sort of interesting. However, the fact that people deny the abuse of media spin and propoganda is simply amazing.

I love google, but this is completely absurd. Not only have they been kissing the ass of the totalitarian Chinese government for years now, but they are censoring my favorite alternative journalist, Alex Jones.

Please take a moment to read this article listed on a website affiliated with Jones.


Also, if you haven't yet, take the time to watch the film TerrorStorm.

I used to not really like Weird Al, but over time he is consistently funny, and he maintains a high standard of writing. It is funny and clever.

Oh my god. Literally.



Haha! Worshipping a picture of George Bush?!

Wow, these people have some serious issues.

Let me set the record straight: I am in no way against Christianity, or any religion for that matter. However, this is not Christianity. This is a revolting representation of the corruption of organized religion.

Organizations Corrupt,
Religious Organizations Corrupt Religiously. (teehee!)

Here is a handy ranking of the various dangers confronting America, based on the number of mortalities in each category throughout the 11-year period spanning 1995 through 2005 (extrapolated from best available data).


This in no way suggests that the Police are a threat to America (although they could be.) In fact they are ranked in the lowest category, along with the "terrorists."

It really is amazing how many people are starting to really question just what this administration, just what the elite lords of the western world have in mind. Matt Lauer has always kinda seemed sort of lame to me, but it was very refreshing to see him stand up to President Bush in this clip.

How many times can he say "Within the law?" Who's law? I don't think President Bush has any idea what the laws even are.

He believes his word is law.



Favorite quote from this clip: "If alternative techniques are being used [in secret prisons]. Are you at all concerned, even if you get results, that there is a blurring the lines between ourselves and the people we are trying to protect ourselves against."
- Matt Lauer

Lauer doesn't seem to buy it and I don't buy it either.

"If we're not willing to use it here against our fellow citizens, then we should not be willing to use it in a wartime situation."
- Air Force secretary Michael Wynne

My expression: ::total shock:: WTF?!

Since when has any type of military weapon been used AGAINST it's own people in order to insure satisfaction from world reaction?

Five years of confusion. Why did this happen? Five years of anger. We will never let this happen again! Five years of deception.


Five years ago, on September 11, 2001, I was asleep in my dorm room. It was my first true semester in college at the University of Texas at Austin. My mom called me, woke me up, and the conversation went like this:

Mom: "Bryan! Do you know what's going on in the world?"
Me: "No. I'm sleeping. What's goin' on?"
Mom: "Turn on the TV."
Me: "What channel?"
Mom: "Any channel!"

I turned on the TV just before the second plane hit the North Tower of the WTC complex. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I was 18 years old, I had just started college, and innocence was now certainly lost. I was confused, but more so, I was amazed.

Ever since that morning I have questioned and desired to know what happend. How did this occur and why were we unable to prevent it? I had grown up knowing, not thinking, but knowing that the United States was the most powerful country in the world. I was proud of this fact, but now I felt weak and almost embarrassed.

Two years later, as the winds of war were ramping up, I began to realize the true nature of the events that occured on the infamous date 9/11. It was simply the alarm clock for the new millenium. It started the events that have occured over the last 5 years and just like you set your alarm clock at night before you go to bed, those that had planned the domination of the middle east and the on going War on Terror (war on our rights) set this alarm clock months and years before 9/11.

Today I have found a very interesting article that provides videos of live footage during and after the attacks on national news stations. It is interesting the things that were said right away and how they are different from the constant barage of propaganda that we are led to believe today. Please take the time to watch these videos and read this article





I have always said... "I know what I saw, but I don't know what really happend on 9/11."

I know what the media wants me to believe, I know what the government wants me to believe, but I really don't know what happend.

Mark my words, we have been decieved. A 5 year campaign of conditioning has led the public to buy whatever the media/government colaboration wants to sell them. Honestly, I think that most of American are trying to move on, but that is not what they want. They want to keep the emotion of fear directly in your view. I am not afraid. Not only that, but I am not willing to simply ignore the fact that they want to decieve me.

"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing" - Edmund Burke

Usually when I express my opinion on the current status of world politics I am confronted with the question "Well, what can I do about it?" You can think about it. That's what you can do. This war, the War on Terror, is a war for your mind. They want to make us so disgusted and tired of trying to figure out the real nature of our world that we will give in and accept some skewed version of events that in the end will benefit only the elite. They want us so confused, so jaded, and so afraid that we actually become apathetic. We simply accept their constructed worldview. WE ARE SELLING OURSELVES INTO SLAVERY.

We will go to war with Iran, just as we did with Iraq.
Before this can happen though, we will need another catalyzing event.
When this happens, I'll know who I'll look to for responsibility.
The disgusting criminal elements that have infilitrated the government of this beautiful and resilient country. I hope my fellow Americans will not be cowed into submission by fear and shock. We built this country to be free and I intend to remain that way.

I have made some updates to both this blog and my website, BryanDuckworth.com

First of all, I have added some links that you can find on the sidebar of this blog.

1. PoleVaultWorld.com - This website is maintained by my dad, who is a high school track and cross country coach (as well as a teacher).

2. ThinnerColder.com - This website is the homepage of my friend, Chris Marquard. Showcases his excellent music, as well as film and video projects.

3. I wish my name was Charly - This is the blog of a friend of mine who lives in LA, Stephanie Hall.

Also, I have embedded a new video from YouTube.com on my website. The film Alex the Barbarian was a project that I worked on with a classmate in my final semester in college. It is a black and white film with non-synchronous audio. It is posted below. Tell me what you think.

Hahaha! You have to check out HowItShouldHaveEnded.com

This isn't the 10 second sound bite that everyone wants to hear and then regurgitate so that they can have an opinion about things they actually don't really care about. This is actual analysis and opinion, which has been well thought out. Please, if you care about thinking at all, take a second to try and understand what Keith Olbermann is saying. Even if you don't agree, it may give you that rare opportunity for some individual thinking, something we should all try to do a little more.

Well, I've been living in Los Angeles for over a week now. I'm finally starting to feel a little settled in and not so overwhelmed by the sense of "newness." Yes, I'm still unemployed and diligently looking for work. However, the world does not take a break just because you do. The global society that weaves in and out of countries, states, and cities does not pause while you are busy with something else.

Recently, since I have been so consumed with moving and exploring a new enviroment, I can see how easy it is for someone to lose sight of events that are not immediately invasive to ones life. It makes even more sense that people who never had those events in their sight to begin with would not have them easily come into view. This is part of the purpose of this blog; to hopefully inform the few people who read it about things they might have otherwise never have known, heard, or seen.

I have made plenty of "outrageous" posts on this blog in the past and this isn't going to be one of them. I just really hope that everyone will take a moment to think outside their box. You have 1440 minutes in a day. You'd be doing yourself a favor by using 5 of them to think about something that won't effect you today, but maybe tomorrow, or the next day, or the day after that. Think about something that is unpredictable, better yet think of something that may even be just opposite, predictable.

Try to understand the world we live in. (This is disgusting.)
