GORDON DUFF: DO THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS BLAME BUSH FOR 9/11?

AMERICA’S WORST KEPT SECRET

 VeteransToday, September 8, 2010 
By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor

I learned about 9/11 from the news.  Before the second plane had crashed, people in the crowd told me and the rest of America it was Osama bin Laden and Arab hijackers trained in Afghanistan with the help of Saddam Hussein.  A BBC reporter then told me Building 7 had just collapsed, though it was almost totally undamaged and standing 47 stories tall, right there on the TV screen behind her.

An Israel film crew, found later to be Mossad agents, partied in the streets, having filmed the attacks.  They couldn’t control their joy in seeing thousands of Americans die. The equipment gathered up days in advance, cameras loaded the night before. 

Hours before the attack, they began their drive, selecting the perfect spot, setting up their cameras and perhaps some other electronic equipment as well.  Their rationale, “We were there to film the planes crashing into the World Trade Center.”

“God bless us all,” those news people are clever ones, prescient to a fault.

Nearly a decade later, rigged elections, phony wars, more CIA drug dealing, economic thievery beyond imagination, accusations of war crimes and more, so much more, faith has been lost in every American institution.  Nothing can be trusted, least of all the American government.

The one truth stands out beyond all others.  9/11 was a combined operation between Israel’s Mossad and rogue groups in America including the leadership of the White House, Joint Chiefs of Staff and the CIA.  It is called a truth because this is where the evidence leads and with it public opinion.  If evidence can’t all be destroyed and public opinion controlled then both evidence and public opinion can be “exiled.”

It worked for the Soviet Union, will it work for America?

All rationale judgement based on forensic evidence, testimony and documentation leads no other possible direction.  It is science, it is law, it is reason.  Any other assumption is myth, conspiracy theory but most of all, treason.  There is little left in Washington anymore but treason, treason and silence. 

Do Americans really believe this, is this how they think?  If this is true, then why is nothing done, no general strikes, no marches on Washington?  Is there also proof that Americans have lost so much confidence in themselves and each other that no change that isn’t “Fox News approved” can hope to succeed?

Do Americans feel powerless and humiliated?  Is this why so many troops returning from war are killing themselves?

It is estimated that the current “off year” elections will cost 1.2 billion dollars.  Half of that money will come from sources tied to narcotics smuggling from Afghanistan and Mexico and much of the rest will be from arms, oil and insurance industries.   The most powerful nation in the history of earth continues to fail in two areas, the endless stream of narcotics coming into America from Mexico and the massive seasonal increases in opium/heroin production in Afghanistan despite billion dollar “eradication” efforts.

This isn’t conspiracy theory, it is fact. 

With talk about Koran burnings organized by Fox News and how angry the world’s 1.2 billion Muslims will be, we see that number again, why is the myth of 9/11, the staged attack on America by Israel and their paid Washington lackeys, so important to sell?  Why is the American government so afraid of the American people, why if America is really a democracy?

There is a reason.

People simply don’t believe the lies anymore.  How do we know this?  Did we read it in the papers or hear it on television.  Think about it.  “A poll today indicated that 74% of Americans no longer accept the findings of the 9/11 Commission.”  Actually, you will never hear that because we can’t discuss the findings of the 9/11 Commission. 

There was a report, one rescinded by most of the members, but the findings themselves were something else.  Findings are facts, a “report” is what was said, not what was proven, not what was true, not even what was possible.

The Commission found that it had not been allowed to investigate properly, that evidence had been withheld and that crimes were committed by government and military leaders including, not only the destruction of evidence but perjured testimony.  The findings of the 9/11 Commission were simple, they found evidence of a criminal conspiracy that prevented an honest investigation.

Those are the findings.

The findings were not published though they were announced, written of in books, articles, speeches were made but the findings are a problem.  The findings “found” those that had empowered the Commission were criminals.  Is it possible to define a conflict of interest more clearly than this?

How about the “court of public opinion.”  Let us define “public opinion.”  We know this, at one point, several years ago, 65% of  Europeans believed that 9/11 was an “inside job,” meaning that the Bush administration was complicit in the planning and execution of 9/11.

That number is much higher today, estimated at 80%.

The question, however, has never been asked in the United States.  Do 65% of Americans believe that 9/11 is was an inside job?  Maybe.  I think the falling poll numbers of George W. Bush were always based on 9/11 and the belief by some Americans he was complicit.  CBS followed Bush popularity ratings and found some startling evidence of a mysterious and inexplicable mistrust many Americans developed after 9/11 and the Iraq War began to fall apart.  President Jimmie Carter left office with an approval rating twice that of Bush, even while Iranians held 52 Americans hostage.

(CBS) President Bush will leave office as one of the most unpopular departing presidents in history, according to a new CBS News/New York Times poll showing Mr. Bush’s final approval rating at 22 percent.
Seventy-three percent say they disapprove of the way Mr. Bush has handled his job as president over the last eight years.

Mr. Bush’s final approval rating is the lowest final rating for an outgoing president since Gallup began asking about presidential approval more than 70 years ago.

The rating is far below the final ratings of recent two-term presidents Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan, who both ended their terms with a 68 percent approval rating, according to CBS Newspolling.
Recent one term presidents also had higher ratings than Mr. Bush. His father George H.W. Bush had an end-of-term rating of 54 percent, while Jimmy Carter’s rating was 44 percent.
Harry Truman had previously had the lowest end-of-term approval at 32 percent, as measured by Gallup.

Views of Mr. Bush’s popularity are highly partisan. Only 6 percent of Democrats approve of the job he has done as president, while 57 percent of Republicans approve. Eighteen percent of independents approve.

Interestingly, Mr. Bush also has the distinction of having the highest approval rating for a president, as well as the lowest.

In November 2008, just before the presidential election, only 20 percent approved of the job he was doing as president – the lowest of any president since Gallup began asking the question in 1938.

But Mr. Bush enjoyed a high approval rating of 90 percent — the highest of any president — following the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001.

With total control of the press and the “Mission Accomplished” victory in Iraq under his belt, the execution of Saddam Hussein and the full and total backing of the oil, defense and financial sectors of the economy, the American people mistrusted Bush like no other person in their history.

There is no other explanation than 9/11.  Bush popularity/disapproval ratings were tied to his personal credibility in two areas, Iraq and 9/11. There was no public outcry over the invasion of Iraq but there may well have been a public outcry over treason involving 9/11.  There is no other explanation possible.

It isn’t “conclusive proof” but it is certainly beyond reasonable doubt.  No wonder the media in the United States avoids asking hard questions about 9/11.

With only most recent trends bringing Israeli complicity in the planning and execution to the forefront, the ‘Dancing Israelis,” the Larry Silverstein admissions and recent revelations of Mossad sponsored terrorism, empirical evidence of a strong public outcry against Israel doesn’t exist.  The same, however, can’t be made for President Bush, Vice President Cheney and their closest associates and advisers.

Only one possible thing could bring a 90% approval rating down to 22%.

By 2009, 78% of Americans believed that President Bush was responsible for 9/11, either directly or indirectly.  How many simply believe Bush was “asleep at the switch?”  How many believe something more?  Is the most common belief that he had foreknowledge and chose to do nothing?

Is the media frenzy, even to the point of endangering our troops in the field, a admission that 9/11 treason may blow America apart?  Is this why President Obama has kept so many of the illegal Bush security protocols in place?  Is this why a “kill switch” has been installed on the internet and a “conspiracy czar” has been appointed by President Obama, one who has openly stated”

attempts by conspiracy theorists to tie Israel to 9/11 are the greatest security threats to the United States”…..Cass Sunstein, Obama Regulatory Czar.

September 2001, 90% – January 2009, 22%

Were the numbers to have crashed when the economy tanked in 2007 it would be one thing.  Bush was down in the 20% range in 2006.  Were people to hate Bush as they did Nixon or see him as ineffective as they did with Carter, this could also be a rationale.  Neither factor applies, there is little question of this.  Even those who most strongly disapproved of Bush never found him indecisive.

What is clear is one thing and one thing only, trust, not just minor suspicions of lack of ability or political game-playing.

The suspicion is clear.  A majority of Americans suspect President Bush may have been involved in treason.

Ask this question anywhere in the world, Europe, Canada, Latin America or the Middle East, even ask it in Japan.  The truth, the only truth available to Americans, is that they are not that different than the rest of the world.  America is not a nation of fools or dupes.

They are simply reported that way.

August 24, 2010 – Peter B Collins Show

Peter B Collins talks with Gordon Duff, senior editor at Veterans Today, who offers a sweeping view of America’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the WikiLeaks saga, and the events of 9/11. Duff, a Marine veteran of Viet Nam, claims intelligence sources worldwide, especially in Pakistan. He asserts that most events called “terrorism” are false flag events, that Israel’s Mossad is in control of much of the disinformation in circulation today, that bin Laden has been dead for years, that all top officials of the Federal Reserve are dual citizens with “Israeli passports in their dresser drawers next to the marijuana”, that North Korea’s submarines and the nuke they tested came from Israel, and that the WikiLeaks leaks were orchestrated in Tel Aviv. He also has a very different view of Pakistan’s ISI and the insurgents lumped together as the “Taliban”. Duff is an amiable man whose rambling narrative is loaded with information that can’t be proved or disproved by those of us without security clearances, yet his worldview is fascinating and very different from corporate media reports and “conventional wisdom”. Your humble host encourages you to listen with an open mind and adequate skepticism, and decide for yourself.

1,270 Architects/Engineers Reveal Hard Evidence of Explosive Demolition at World Trade Center on 9/11 – Tue Sep 7, 6:54 pm ET

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7 –

Former US Senator Mike Gravel (D-AK) and Richard Gage, AIA, Founder of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth Discuss Scientific Findings

National Press Club, Washington DC, 2:00 pm, Thursday, September 9, 2010

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On Thursday September 9, 2010, Gravel and Gage will host a central press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, presenting hard evidence that all three WTC skyscrapers on September 11, 2001, in NYC were destroyed by explosive controlled demolition.

Senator Gravel notes, "Critically important evidence has come forward after the original government building reports were completed."

This press conference will be webcast at AE911Truth.org and hosted concurrently in cities throughout the world.*  Following the conference, there will be a mock debate during which public statements made by government investigators and other defenders of the official account will be presented and responded to in multimedia format.  "They refuse to debate us in person," says Gage, "so we will let their public statements represent them."

Gage will release a media-friendly summary of his organization's findings, which are based on forensic evidence as well as video and eyewitness testimony that were omitted from official reports.  He will show evidence that the WTC Twin Towers were not destroyed by jet plane impacts or fires, but by pre-set explosives and incendiaries.  The non-profit organization, Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, will also call for a grand jury investigation of government report lead engineers Shyam Sunder and John Gross of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. "They were in a position to know the evidence we have been presenting," says Gage.

Also speaking will be Florida State Professor Lance deHaven-Smith, who coined the academic term State Crimes Against Democracy (SCAD).  Prof. deHaven-Smith has appeared on Good Morning America, the Today Show, NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw, CBS Nightly News with Dan Rather, and other national TV/radio shows.  

The DC press conference will be accessible via webcast AE911Truth.org, 2:00 pm September 9, 2010.

OBAMA ADMINISTRATION SECRETELY IMPLEMENTS CAP AND TRADE RULES

By John Wallace LibertyNews - 09-06-2010  Forget about organizing to fight a proposed "Cap and Trade" bill that will continue to destroy America's manufacturing base. Forget that Global Warming was such a fraud that its Green Movement proponents had to change the name to Climate Change. Forget about the fact that the Green Movement can better be described as the Watermellon Movement because although the Green Movement appears to be Green on the outside, it is also Red (communist) on the inside. Forget about the truth. It doesn't matter anymore because the Obama administration has secretely implemented draconian Cap and Trade rules anyway, totally disregarding the will of the American people and without giving them a chance to vote "NO" on the issue. The Federal government has transferred a staggering $65 billion dollars from the private sector (via new taxes) to fund the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI.) RGGI is government created entity, much like the corrupt Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac entities that destroyed the American real estate market, that is now choking companies in the northeast with huge tax increases in the name of saving the environment. RGGI is the nation's first mandatory greenhouse gas cap and trade regulating entity. This waste of tax dollars is responsible for "making an impact on climate change" in 10 Northeast states. The American Taxpayers in the New England area are now funding this secret climate initiative against their will. Soon, the RGGI will be expanded to every state in the union and the American people will be required to pay the bill with astronomical higher energy prices. Forget that GLOBAL WARMING ISN'T EVEN REAL and that the purveyors of this junk science were involved in a United Nations inspired scheme to defraud the industrialized world out of trillions of dollars via "Green" taxes and fees, the Obama administration has decided that you are going to pay anyway. After all, "green taxes and fees" are really about power, control and the redistribution of your wealth to the federal government, not about protecting the environment. Each state is capped on their carbon emissions and taxed if they use them up. RGGI has already added a 0.9% increase in energy prices in New England. It is another perfect socialist plan to get your money. The only impact the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) has made so far is they have raised energy prices and created a slush fund for each member state. Exactly what this money is supposed to be used for is still unclear, but I'm sure the crooked politicians in each state will find a way to squander the money. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO SECRETLY TAX ENERGY BASED ON THE FRAUDULENT CLIMATE CHANGE SCHEME TO DEFRAUD! The corrupt sense of entitlement by our federal government and the secret entities they create is mind boggling. While everyday Americans struggle to pay the bills and live through the stress of the Recession, RGGI appears to be rolling in money, thanks to the American taxpayers. RGGI Chief, Jonathan Schrag and his wife Kristen purchased a $2.2 million dollar loft in Manhattan. Schrag's posh condo is 2,000 square feet and has three bedrooms and two bat in June of this year, with a nice view of the Manhattan skyline. Schrag's luxurious residence is only a five block walk to the RGGI headquarters. I guess he didn't want to risk creating a carbon foot print by driving to work. OUR TAX DOLLARS ARE FUNDING LUXURIOUS LIFESTYLES FOR CROOKS Schrag is paid to keep secrets. He has refused to disclose how much money he makes and the salaries of his employees. Schrag told New Jersey Watch Dog to get lost when they asked him to disclose RGGI's records. In the most recent public disclosure requests from the IRS Schrag declined to reveal how much everyone is paid in the organization. Most companies have to reveal to the IRS the salaries of their employees. RGGI is given special treatment because our government is backing their scheme to defraud us. The corrupt politicians in Washington are completely responsible for this gigantic waste of tax dollars. Everyday Americans work hard to earn money and provide for their families while Washington bureaufatcats get paid to accomplish nothing! The crooks behind RGGI must be exposed and held accountable!

FOLLOW THE MONEY Guess who has been involved in the bidding on $662 million in carbon dioxide permits since 2008 and making money by doing it. Well, the bidders are the usual cast of characters involved in just about every other scheme to defraud the American people out of their hard earned money. The bidders at RGGI auctions include Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase and other Wall Street heavyweights. They intend to make big money by speculating on the price of permits, called allowances because Electric power plants are now required to obtain an allowance for each ton of CO-2 they emit. But exactly who is buying what at these auctions? How much of the carbon market have they cornered? What effect will the wheeling and dealing have on the electricity bills paid by consumers? Well, that’s none of our business, we are told by the bureaucrats in charge. They have repeatedly denied Open Public Records Act requests for auction details, contending the bidders’ “expectation of privacy” and “trade secrets” outweigh the public right to know. Sounds a little like the Federal Reserve's explanation of their need for secrecy in the discribution of the federal stimulus money, doesn't it? Well why not? The same financial people are also involved in this fraudelent scheme to take our money as well. RGGI executive director Jonathan Schrag claims that the RGGI is not a “public body” subject to any state open records laws – even though it’s a non-profit cooperative created and governed by the states of New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Delaware and Maryland. Though Congress failed to pass legislation for a nationwide system, RGGI will ensure that cap-and-trade remains alive in the U.S. The scheme has friends in high places, both on Wall Street and within the Obama Administration. EPA Commissioner Lisa P. Jackson was first vice-chair of RGGI in 2008 while head of the New Jersey Department of Environment Protection. RGGI is the prototype for two other mandatory regional systems scheduled to start in 2012. The Midwestern Greenhouse Gas Reduction Accord will bring cap-and-trade to Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Kansas. The Western Climate Initiative adds California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Mexico, Utah and Montana – plus British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec. Manitoba is a member of both cooperatives. Together, the three regional systems will encompass 23 states with roughly half of population in the U.S. – plus four Canadian provinces with more than three-quarters of that nation’s populace. This phony Cap-and-Trade system is nothing more than a criminal scheme to defraud the American (and Canadian) taxpayers because it favors secrecy over public disclosure, deception over the truth, Wall Street Banksters over taxpayers and consumers and if allowed to continue, it will grow more powerful and become the de facto law of the land, even without an act of Congress or without the people having a say in their own future. This is what socialism and fascism are all about. If you believe in Liberty and Freedom, remember this on Election Day!

WSJ: The stress tests were essentially a fraud - revelation sends bond spreads to new records

• Many European banks understated their bond holdings in the stress test examination;
• the revelation renders the stress tests essentially worthless;
• there is also a massive discrepancy between the stress test data and the BIS data on government bond holdings by banks;
• the revelations had a severely negative impact on the markets, as the bank shares fell;
• 10-year sovereign spreads rose to new records – 372bp for Ireland, 355bp for Portugal;
• Ecofin effectively killed the German idea of a financial transactions tax;
• but reached agreement on a European semester to coordinate fiscal policy;
• 1m people turn out in protests against French pension reforms;
• Barroso delivers a pompous state of the union address to 100 MEPs in Strasbourg;
• Martin Wolf says Germany is the biggest beneficiary of the euro;
• John Plender, meanwhile, argues that Merkel’s political future may depend on her not understanding the economics of the crisis.

Junk food price inflation at +30 - +67%

Weimar/Zimbabwe scenario incoming. Just in from The Mogambo Guru (my emphasis):

Dodging the Rising Cost of Food

By The Mogambo Guru

09/07/10 Tampa, Florida – I was surprised when Mike Burk of Alpha Investment Management wrote that “Some of the NYSE breadth indicators look pretty good, but that is from strength in fixed income which makes up about half of the issues traded on the NYSE. Fixed income looks like a bubble.”

Well, being an admittedly stupid guy who just wants effortless and instantaneous satisfaction of every desire, I am, as such, not really into the “nuts and bolts” of things.

Not surprisingly, then, I never heard that fixed-income makes up half of issues traded on the stock exchange, but it seems somehow important, in a menacing, sinister kind of way, like when I first noticed that my wife was no longer the same woman I had married, but was instead now some old crazy woman who thinks I can “change” after all these years of not changing.

So I wrote to Mr. Burk, and I was going to ask him, you know, as a kind of ice-breaking opener, if his wife thought, for some bizarre reason, that he could be “changed,” but instead I stuck to business and asked him if he was sure about this “half of the issues traded are fixed income” thing.

I was thinking that, you know, it seems so somehow strangely significant that I was hoping he could define “shares of fixed income.”

Well, he writes back and says that he was referring to the fact that “Only about half of the issues traded on the NYSE are operating companies,” and that “the rest are preferreds, some variety of bond fund or other interest bearing instrument.” Hmmm!

As an example, he said, “Last Friday there were 3,143 issues traded on the NYSE, and 1,768 of them were operating companies.”

Well, I’m a guy who is already petrified at the low interest rates that Treasury bonds are yielding, because it means that bond prices are so high that bond prices will collapse when interest rates rise to at least some vaguely average, roughly historical shouting-distance semblance of normalcy, which is up around 3% more than inflation.

Now I am even more freaked out that half of the issues traded on the NYSE are some kind of weird bond derivatives or something, making the Bad, Bad News (BBN) that is that inflation is now running over 8% (according to John Williams at shadowstats.com) even more frightening! Yow! We’re freaking doomed!

And when bond prices will collapse, it will hand unfathomable losses to idiots around the entire globe who, for some stupid reason, bought high-priced bonds to capture these low rates instead of buying gold, silver and oil when gold, silver and oil were priced at bargain-basement lows!

And it makes you wonder how it is even possible that you can even have low interest rates when you see things like The Wall Street Journal article titled “Consumers Dodging Jump in Food Costs.”

If you have ever played dodgeball when you were in phys ed class in school, then you know how dodging things usually works out. Perhaps you broke a wrist, or maybe you got a concussion when you caught one – pow! – in the head from Ernie, the kid who is some kind of gigantic freak of nature who has been held back three times, looks like adult linebacker, and who is rumored to be dating some of the teachers.

And it is that kind of dodgeball experience that perhaps gives you a little insight into this new concept of perpetually managing to dodge things like higher prices, especially since the price rises are not insignificant, as in “Compared with a year ago, the farm-level price of soft red wheat grown in the Midwest is up 91%, the price of hogs in Iowa and southern Minnesota is up 52%, the price of eggs is up 32% and the price of con in central Illinois is up 15%.” Yikes!

Perhaps not coincidentally, the article goes on “Fast-food giant Burger King Holdings recently authorized its franchisees to raise the price of its Whopper Jr. sandwich to as much as $1.29 from $1,” which is an immediate 29% jump in price, which sounds bad, but which may be, as I may recall, the result of taking back a previous price reduction, done as part of a national frenzy of “value meal” craziness, but I don’t really know, mostly because it is just my job to eat them, not record their prices, and I have held up my part of the bargain and done a wonderful job of eating Whopper Jr. hamburgers over the years. So don’t lay your guilt on me.

As bad as it sounds to have someone accuse me of not eating my share of delicious meat-oriented fast-food products, even more horrific was the paragraph containing the Absolutely Freaking Unbelievable (AFU) statement that “If the US economy picks up steam next year, the USDA expects food-price inflation to accelerate in 2011 to a more typical rate of between 2% and 3%”! Food has a “typical” rate of inflation of 3% inflation? Gaaaahhhh!

Immediately, I know what I have to do; get to the safety of lock-down in the Mogambo Battle Bunker (MBB), now a central part of the newly-discovered Mogambo Tribe of Native Americans that wants to open an Indian casino and take paleface wampum, an obvious ruse that will hopefully take decades to get through the courts.

I am the only known survivor and spokesman for this proud, ancient people whose myths and legends tell of the terrible tortures of an expanding fiat money supply, and I am called Crazy With Fear (CWF), which certainly seems apropos when talking about a “typical” 3% inflation in the price of food! Yikes! This is outrageous!

Even worse, The Financial Times notes that “fast food chains” in the US are “rolling out more expensive premium products,” including McDonald’s and Burger King, and that the “pricing trend” is, according to a McDonald’s spokesman, such that “five dollars will be the new $2.99,” which is a statement that I admit I don’t understand, and I get more confused when I look at it closely, but I get the chilling idea that what once cost $2.99 will start costing $5.00! Yow! A 67% price inflation!

If I am right about this, then if you are not buying gold, silver and oil in the face of such obvious inflation in prices, then I am sorry to tell you that you were right in your secret suspicions about yourself; there IS something Very, Very Wrong (VVW) with you.
