My article-

Bipartisan Push for the Global Security State

Kerry inadvertantly revealed the truth in his Freudian slip calling for more resources for a “Terrorism Task Force,” uhm, Counter-Terrorism Task Force. As Bush, Kerry, Select 9-11 Victims’ Families applaud the official 9-11 Whitewash Report and mount a national campaign to sell legislation that would institutionalize the Terror State that uses special operations, war, the press, to terrify people, crush democracy, dissent at home and abroad. Why the rush? Red Alert! Opposition to the Powers that Be, Enduring Wars, Ending Liberties is mounting.

Serious analysis of the official 9-11 Report reveals it to be worse than the Warren Report, a fabrication to uphold the “official lie” and cloud the blatant lies, destruction of evidence, clear beneficiaries of the crime that took place on September 11, 2001. The mandate of the official Commission has always been to justify the construction of “Homeland Security”- A Police State Apparatus- designed to crush dissent rather than catch terrorists. Indeed, most terrorism is funded, assisted, and implemented via the alphabet soup of “Intelligence Agencies” that already exist, with the assistance of the U.S. military, and its “allies” who serve the same corporate interests, and rely upon a “war economy.”

With the failure of Congress to investigate 9-11, to prevent unjustified wars against Afghanistan and Iraq, to protect the Constitution, the Bill of Rights from the ravages of the PATRIOT Act and Homeland Security, citizens have been compelled to take to the streets, organize, educate themselves and others to halt an imperial power grab that threatens the vast majority of people in the U.S. and the world.

We, Americans, have a special responsibility to rein in our government, to expose their blatant lies, criminal activities, and attacks upon the most fundamental values that are threatened by allowing the “Terrorists Controlling the White House”- to issue bogus “Terrorist Alerts,”to relabel any domestic opposition to their policies as “domestic terrorists,” to funnel resources into technologies which enrich and enable the few to control and impoverish the many through violence and fear.

We have marched on our Senators and on my Congresswoman Anna Eshoo to- “Demand an Investigation of 9-11,” to “Expose the 9-11 Cover-Up,” “Demand Pre-Emptive Impeachment of Bush & Co.,” to “Demand a Repeal of the PATRIOT Act,” “Demand the Impeachment of Bush …” Neither Senator Feinstein, Senator Boxer, nor Congresswoman Eshoo have addressed our concerns nor our demands satisfactorily.

It is time to march again.

Congresswoman Anna Eshoo just sent me this letter-

Dear Constituent,
On July 22nd the 9-11 Commission issued its report to the Congress and the country. As a Member of the House Intelligence Committee, I want to give you an update on my work to protect our national security.
The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (also known as the 9-11 Commission) issued a comprehensive set of bipartisan recommendations to Congress to address the shortcomings in our nation’s intelligence infrastructure that led to the tragic attacks of 9-11. The report comes amid new warnings about possible terrorist activity within the U.S., making it clear that terrorists will not wait for Congress to act.
Because of the urgency of these issues I’ve urged congressional leaders to immediately reconvene both Houses of Congress to consider the Commission’s recommendations and implement the necessary reforms as soon as possible. House Minority Leader Pelosi has already called House Democrats to return to Washington on August 10th to discuss the Commission’s work directly with members of the Commission.
I will be traveling to Washington every week during August to participate in hearings by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence about proposed reforms to the intelligence community. I’ve been calling for the Committee to initiate these hearings for months.
Last April, together with my Democratic colleagues on the House Intelligence Committee, I introduced legislation to overhaul the intelligence community to improve how our intelligence is collected, analyzed, and disseminated. This legislation, H.R. 4104, the Intelligence Transformation Act, is nearly identical to the reforms proposed by the 9-11 Commission, including:

· the creation of a Director of National Intelligence to oversee and manage the entire intelligence community, with enhanced authority over the intelligence budget and intelligence personnel;
· the creation of joint intelligence centers staffed by operatives and analysts from across the intelligence agencies; and
· comprehensive reforms to address information sharing – moving the intelligence community from a need to know culture to a need to share culture.
These interlocking reforms cannot be implemented in a piecemeal fashion and reforms should not be cherry-picked. It’s also important to reform Congress and its committee structure to ensure the viability of these recommendations.
These are not partisan issues. Assessing blame for past failures will not help us protect our future. However, refusing to recognize these failures and not take the critical steps to ensure that they don’t ever occur again is not acceptable.
The American people owe a great deal to the work of the 9-11 Commission, as well as the inspiration of the families of 9-11 victims. Now is the time for Congress to act in a timely and prudent way. Rest assured, I will do my utmost to make the critical changes to protect our national security.
If you have questions or comments, let me hear from you.
Sincerely,

Anna G. Eshoo
Member of Congress

I was outraged by this letter and immediately called Anna Eshoo’s office and spoke for half an hour with her staff.

At the San Francisco International Inquiry into 9-11, Phase One and the Toronto International Citizen’s Inquiry into 9-11, Phase Two held in March and May of this year (http://www.911inquiry.org ), ordinary people seeking the truth about 9-11 found ample evidence of a major cover-up on the part of the government, and the official Commission. In summary, there was plenty of evidence of government complicity, our major obstacles to informing the public were the Mainstream Press which continues to censor the most basic facts about 9-11, and the psychological barriers of fear and denial erected by people who do not wish to believe that their own government could be capable of such a crime. Nevertheless, we cannot prevent future 9-11s by rewarding those most responsible the events of September 11th which is precisely what the new legislation would do, simultaneously masking the truth about 9-11 for as long as possible.

Napoleon once said, “It is not necessary to suppress the truth, simply delaying it, will do.”

If we wait until all the players are dead, and information/the truth is irrelevant, then we allow The Big Lie and criminals to rule the planet and Injustice to reign.

It is time for 9-11 Truth Movement, the Peace Movement, the Global Justice Movement, the Anti-Corporate Globalization Movement to challenge the Big Lie which is being used to justify the tremendous assaults upon so many for the benefit of the few which benefit from Fear, War and Terror. We cannot allow them to get away with the construction of a Fourth Reich which would make Hitler drool with envy. No to a “Global Security State.” No to H.R. 4104. True security does not mean a monopoly on weapons, surveillance, a stranglehold on the global economy; true security means healthy relationships between all people, respect for life, peace born out of love and cooperation.

Wednesday, August 25th, 2004 rally in downtown Palo Alto at Listening for a Change between 11:00 a.m and 1:00 p.m. at Lytton Plaza, intersection of University and Emerson. 1:00 p.m. March to Congresswoman Anna Eshoo’s office to show our opposition to the 9-11 Cover-Up and H.R. 4104’s Police State Proposal.

Saturday, September 11th, 2004, in solidarity with people throughout the world join us in a Global Day of Action in support of the 9-11 Truth and Peace Movements at the 6th Annual Power to the Peaceful Concert in Golden Gate Park featuring Michael Franti & Spearhead. The 9-11 Truth Alliance will hold a rally, for Truth, Peace & Justice, against Lies, War & State Sponsored Terrorism, at the Panhandle at 10:00 AM, march down Haight Street and through Golden Gate Park to arrive when the concert and social justice activities begins at 11:00 AM and lasts until 5:00 PM and is free to all.

Chunks. Big ones.

reminiscent of Jiffy pop?

No friend of the revolution.

MCR :

Goodman has merely ignored my work. Yet, according to someone who gave it to her, she has had my tape "The Truth and Lies of 9-11" for many months. And she knows that what I was saying eighteen months ago is exactly what Graham is trying to spin now. I know this because many people who emailed her asking her to have me as a guest sent me copies. Gore Vidal has had the tape for quite a while too. Vidal used every one of the quotes from Zbigniew Brzezinski's book "The Grand Chessboard" which I brought to public light in the fall of 2001 in his own lengthy 9/11 article and conveniently forgot to mention the person who did the work or what he was trying to say. Now, a day late and a dollar short, the Lilly Livered Left has arrived on the scene with the brilliant observation, "Wait, we have to look at 9/11! We have to look at 9/11!"

This is so much more than "I told you so." The danger and power of a fascist empire in warp drive to control global oil reserves and crush opposition grows every day. This is all about the fact that the consequences arising from the peak and inevitable decline of world oil production are going to be the most cataclysmic events in human history. That realization is all too slowly dawning upon people who might be in a position to change the way this bloody game is being played. Richard Heinberg's new book "The Party's Over" and the diligent work of world-class oil experts like Colin Campbell of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil- http://www.peakoil.net - are finally making inroads into the collective consciousness of governments, business and activists.

But the herd always seems to be ten paces behind the Empire.
