THE DISILLUSIONARIES - 4 PUBLIC AWARENESS QUESTIONS

2001 NEWS Report about Skull and bones ritual

Here's an 2001 ABC piece about Skull and Bones where they got a video of the rituals that Skull and Bones does.
The reporter says the mock human sacrifice is "silly fraturnity nonsence" but if you watch the video, it's very disturbing and pretty fucking sick. So making yet again my point to the validity to Andrew Meyer's question to John Kerry if he was a member of Skull and Bones, right before the Gistapo tasered him and violated his rights guaranteed under our Constitution. Kerry did not answer that question but has openly admitted to being a member in the past on Meet The Press in 2004.

Give Up Rights For The "Common Good"?
(Taken from "Citizens Rule Book" a handbook with the Constitution, Jury Handbook, and the Bill of Rights)
Where the people fear the government you have tyranny; where the government fears the people, you have liberty.
Politicians, bureaucrats and especially judges would have you believe that too much freedom will result in chaos. Therefore, we should gladly give up some of our RIGHTS for the good of the community. In other words, people acting in the name of government, say we need more laws and more JURORS to enforce these laws- even if we have to give up some RIGHTS in the process. They believe the more laws we have, the more control, thus a better society. This theory may sound good on paper, and apparently many of our leaders think this way, as evidenced b y the thousands of new laws that are added to the books each year in this country. But, no matter how cleverly this Marxist argument is made, the hard fact is that whenever you give up a RIGHT you lose a "FREE CHOICE"!This adds another control. Control's real name is BONDAGE! The logical conclusion would be, if giving up some RIGHTS produces a better society, then by giving up all RIGHTS we could produce the perfect society. We could chain everybody to a tree, for lack of TRUST. This may prevent crime, but it would destroy PRIVACY, which is the heartbeat of FREEDOM! It would also destroy TRUST which is the foundation for DIGNITY. Rather than giving up RIGHTS, we should be giving up wrongs! The opposite of control is not chaos. More laws do not make less criminals! We must give up wrongs, not rights, for a better society! William Pitt of the British House of Commons one proclaimed,"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human liberty; it is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves."

Nothing would be what it is,


Because everything would be what it isn't.


And contrary-wise - what it is, it wouldn't be.


And what it wouldn't be, it would.





You see? - Lewis Carroll








Never before has that line from Alice in Wonderland hit home so much for me, as to where i am right now.


I really do feel like Alice wandering around in Wonderland, just in total shock of all the craziness going on all around me!


I wasn't going to write about the Andrew Meyer story at all cuz personally i didn't think it was that big of a story to blog about when there are other bigger fish to fry, so to say, that happened last week.


Alan Greenspan, and Ben Bernanke coming out on t.v. all week basically saying the value of the dollar is being devalued, mainly by the Federal Reserve and that the dollar may be replaced by the Euro! That's a little freaky and bigger news than the Andrew Meyer tasering, but it's been brought to my attention, and now looking at some of the comments on YouTube, people are saying that poor guy deserved getting tasered!!!


That's just fucking crazy to me that people are saying such bullshit!!


No, I take that back, it doesn't seem crazy to me, it makes me wanna throw up and it really freaks me out the whole Orwellian applauding of this!


"Thought criminal, thought criminal, take him away to the Ministry of Truth!!!"


Seriously, it's fucking sick!


And the most amazing thing to me is, last week this wasn't the only police brutality incident in the country that was reported in the news.


There was the appalling story of the City Councilmen from Indiana who was throw out by the Mayor in a City Council meeting because god forbid he was trying to exercise his Constitutional right as a representative of the people to be able to speak for more than one minute about the corruption in the city's system. He calmly walked out, and the cops come up behind him and just beat the shit out of him!! Then the kicker is, of coarse the news went and reported it like the Councilmen deserved it and that he started a fight!!


Incredible distortion of the facts right there.


Then there was another story about a wheelchair-bound, schizophrenic woman who was tasered 10 times by police and killed!


What possible excuse could the police have for tasering a wheelchair bound, mentally disabled person??





Now Andrew Meyer, he just happen to be an Alex Jones listener, just like the couple from North Carolina who a cop beat up because they were flying an up side down flag in front of their home.
That story right there just illustrates how uninformed the public is, not to mention the cops.


Andrew Meyer did nothing more than ask the Senator two questions, very relevant questions in my opinion, and the second question i'd really like to hear a response to, but of coarse Kerry didn't answer that question.


Sure Andrew Meyer was a little pissed off when asking his questions, and very well could of asked the questions and made his statement in a more calmly manner, but seriously, if you're not pissed off at what is going on, you are not paying attention. Andrew Meyer asked a very relevant question that the main stream media has not asked him. And when Kerry did answer the question about the voter fraud in Ohio and him conceding the election, on the day after the election, he was caught in a lie that he had read the Greg Palast "Armed Madhouse" book, because if he had really read that book like he told Andrew Meyer he did, then he would of known there were TONS of evidence showing voter suppression and fraud, and that Kerry did in fact win the 2004 election.


Which completely ties into Andrews question about him and Bush being apart of the secret society Skull and Bones.


I mean doesn't it bother you to know that our elected officials all belong to these very secretive clubs? Skull and Bones has shit out many, many officials that have served in our government.


When Andrew Meyer asked his question, it was the Q&A part of the visit, Kerry had already talked for 2 hours. Kerry had called on Andrew Meyer for the sole purpose to ask him a question. I'd like to think we can ask our elected officials, who are supposed to be serving US, the people, i'd like to think we can ask them any god damn question we please. And at this point when the mainstream media isn't asking the questions we want answered, it's time we grow some balls and ask these questions of our elected officials ourselves, cuz the media sure as hell isn't going to bother.


So for exercising his first amendment right, Andrew Meyer was tasered 6 times.


It's time we wake up to the brutality the cops are showing us. The cops in NYC even are being paid more to be more "aggressive" to the citizens!! I mean what the FUCK???


I guess i'm just very appalled at the fact that people are applauding the death of America and the bill of rights. The fact that people are saying he deserved it cuz he was a little pissed off when asking the questions.


Well fuck, if we're all gonna be tasered for being mad at the government, i'd get tasered every fucking night for the way i yell and scream at the t.v. when i watch the nightly news.
As far as i'm concerned, we still have our first amendment right, and these "free speech zones" bullshit the government is pulling on us is totally unconstitutional! Yeah, i'm sure when the founding fathers were writing the first amendment they meant we could have free speech, but only in certain zones that the government chose. Bullshit!!! Your rights are being VIOLATED, if that means anything to the American people anymore.



Sick and sad, i'm just wandering around in Wonderland i guess.


What use to seem normal to me is now fucking crazy....

Driving on that long hard road to eternal glory


"Good Enough" By Evanescence

Under your spell again
I can't say no to you
crave my heart
and its bleeding in your hand
I can't say no to you
Shouldn't have let you torture me so sweetly
now I can't let go of this dream
I can't breathe but I feel
Good enough
I feel good enough for you
Drink up sweet decadence
I can't say no to you and
I've completely lost myself and
I don't mind
I can't say no to you
Shouldn't have let you conquer me completely
now I can't let go of this dream
can't believe that I feel Good enough
I feel good enough its been such a long time coming,
but I feel good and
I'm still waiting for the rain to fall
pour real life down on me cause
I can't hold on to anything this good enough
am I good enough for you to love me too?
so take care what you ask of me cause
I can't say no



In less than a week i turn 27. Wow, i never imagined were i'd be at 27, but it sort of a mile stone for me because i've changed so much over the years, and most of all my self confidence is soaring. I've always been that shy quiet girl confused on just about every aspect of her life.
Just in 4 years i've done a 360 from where i stood on almost everything. 4 years ago i was a rock solid liberal, Amy Goodman was like my hero. Now i'm a rock solid constitutionalist, and my hero isn't just one person but many ranging from of coarse Alex Jones, Jim Marrs, JFK, and certainly now Ron Paul. Ron Paul reminds me what it means to be free, and he empowers me to fight till the bitter end to save our constitution.
4 years ago if you would of told me i'd be donating and full on supporting a Republican for president i would of laughed in your face.
Just goes to show how much my eyes have opened and how opened my mind has become.

4 years ago i was obsessing with my looks, how people, especially my boyfriend and just men in general perceived my outer appearance. I wasted 3 years of my life just swallowed by this depression because i was losing what i identified myself with, which was my skinny body, a whole 116 pounds of me. I thought my waist line was what identified me. It's really sad when i look back on it, but all throughout my teenage years i thought if i kept my weight down i could do anything.
Which turned out not to be true. When i finally got an offer for a modeling job, i ditched the interview cuz i was so worried they'd say i was fat!
How fucking sad!!
Now i am without any doubt in my mind, am an aspiring chef. I've discovered my real love in life and a passion that just consumes me everyday. I'm being swept off my feet by something i denied myself to enjoy because i never wanted to gain weight.
Ya know and now, i don't really care what people think of my appearance. What really warms my heart to no end is on the Tool message boards, just recently actually, i was in an argument with this one guy about the History Channels program "9/11 Conspiracies: Fact or Fiction". If you haven't seen it, it's a total government propaganda, step in line with the official story and they don't even let Alex Jones and people like him even talk! Anyhow, i was in an argument with this guy and on one of the comments i had posted someone replied with,"God that is so hot, i wish i could meet more girls like you."
THAT fucking tickled me pink!!! Someone actually thinks i'm hot, not because of my looks but really and truly because of my mind. That is wonderful and really what life should all be about, we need to stop judging each other by our outside packages.
Like David Icke says we're all one infinite consciousness.
that's real beauty and life right there, infinite consciousness.....

I'm a 27 year old woman who has a soft spot for drinking Guiness and staying up all night listening to my favorite music. My heart belongs and probably will forever be intertwined with Fiona Apple, David Gray, Tool, Regina Spektor, Evanescence, and Pink Floyd.
My heart strings get pulled when i hear music that really speaks to me, more and more i can't stand uninspired music. The song above and this one i think really speaks to were i am in my life right now. It's all very unchartered road where i feel i am now.
It feels good though... real good :) I'm finally happy...


"Clean Pair Of Eyes" By David Gray

Hear me God Im on the level
Mapping silence seeing things
Crying laughing like the devil
And before the might
Of all thats seen
Ill raise my head
And wake to dream
With a clean pair of eyes
Murdered gold and colours flashing
Time like blood like flowing hair
Faces merging airplanes crashing
And before the might
Of all thats true
Ill raise my head
And dream anew
With a clean pair of eyes
A clean pair of eyes
Dont need no one to blame
Dont need no disguise
No sugar to sweet my brain
A clean pair of eyes
Today I need no commentary
Today I do not need to speak
No explanation necessary
And before the might
Of all thats seen
Ill raise my head
And dream again
With a clean pair of eyes
A clean pair of eyes
Dont need no right or wrong
Dont need no disguise
No sugar to fix my tongue
A clean pair of eyes
Liquid air and flags that ripple
A tambourine of smoke suns
Love that blinds up fear that cripples
And before the might
Of all thats seen
Ill raise my head
And wake to dream
And before the might
Of all thats true
Ill raise my head
And dream anew
And before the might
Of all unnamed
Ill raise my head
And dream again
Dream again
Dream again
Dream again
Dream again


Happy 27th birthday to me, you did it, keep aiming for your goals, at this point i don't think anything can stop me :)

Got my Neil Young tickets, FUCK YEAH!!




"Old Man"

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
Twenty four

Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life

Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.
I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

9/11 - the big cover-up?

Even the chair of the 9/11 Commission now admits that the official evidence they were given was 'far from the truth'.
Peter Tatchell
London Guardian


September 12, 2007 10:30 AM

Six years after 9/11, the American public have still not been provided with a full and truthful account of the single greatest terror attack in US history.
What they got was a turkey. The 9/11 Commission was hamstrung by official obstruction. It never managed to ascertain the whole truth of what happened on September 11 2001.
The chair and vice chair of the 9/11 Commission, respectively Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, assert in their book, Without Precedent, that they were "set up to fail" and were starved of funds to do a proper investigation. They also confirm that they were denied access to the truth and misled by senior officials in the Pentagon and the federal aviation authority;and that this obstruction and deception led them to contemplate slapping officials with criminal charges.
Despite the many public statements by 9/11 commissioners and staff members acknowledging they were repeatedly lied to, not a single person has ever been charged, tried, or even reprimanded, for lying to the 9/11 Commission.
From the outset, the commission seemed to be hobbled. It did not start work until over a year after the attacks. Even then, its terms of reference were suspiciously narrow, its powers of investigation curiously limited and its time-frame for producing a report unhelpfully short - barely a year to sift through millions of pages of evidence and to interview hundreds of key witnesses.
The final report did not examine key evidence, and neglected serious anomalies in the various accounts of what happened. The commissioners admit their report was incomplete and flawed, and that many questions about the terror attacks remain unanswered. Nevertheless, the 9/11 Commission was swiftly closed down on August 21 2004.
I do not believe in conspiracy theories. I prefer rigorous, evidence-based analysis that sifts through the known facts and utilises expert opinion to draw conclusions that stand up to critical scrutiny. In other words, I believe in everything the 9/11 Commission was not.
The failings of the official investigation have fuelled too many half-baked conspiracy theories. Some of the 9/11 "truth" groups promote speculative hypotheses, ignore innocent explanations, cite non-expert sources and jump to conclusions that are not proven by the known facts. They convert mere coincidence and circumstantial evidence into cast-iron proof. This is no way to debunk the obfuscations and evasions of the 9/11 report.
But even amid the hype, some of these 9/11 groups raise valid and important questions that were never even considered, let alone answered, by the official investigation. The American public has not been told the complete truth about the events of that fateful autumn morning six years ago.
What happened on 9/11 is fundamentally important in its own right. But equally important is the way the 9/11 cover-up signifies an absence of democratic, transparent and accountable government. Establishing the truth is, in part, about restoring honesty, trust and confidence in American politics.
There are dozens of 9/11 "truth" websites and campaign groups. I cannot vouch for the veracity or credibility of any of them. But what I can say is that as well as making plenty of seemingly outrageous claims; a few of them raise legitimate questions that demand answers.
Four of these well known "tell the truth" 9/11 websites are:
1) Scholars for 9/11 Truth, which includes academics and intellectuals from many disciplines.
2) 250+ 9/11 'Smoking Guns' a website that cites over 250 pieces of evidence that allegedly contradict, or were omitted from, the 9/11 Commission report.
3) The 911 Truth Campaign that, as well as offering its own evidence and theories, includes links to more than 20 similar websites.
4) Patriots Question 9/11, perhaps the most plausible array of distinguished US citizens who question the official account of 9/11, including General Wesley Clark, former Nato commander in Europe, and seven members and staffers of the official 9/11 Commission, including the chair and vice chair. In all, this website documents the doubts of 110+ senior military, intelligence service, law enforcement and government officials; 200+ engineers and architects; 50+ pilots and aviation professionals; 150+ professors; 90+ entertainment and media people; and 190+ 9/11 survivors and family members. Although this is an impressive roll call, it doesn't necessarily mean that these expert professionals are right. Nevertheless, their scepticism of the official version of events is reason to pause and reflect.
More and more US citizens are critical of the official account. The respected Zogby polling organisation last week found that 51% of Americans want Congress to probe President Bush and Vice-President Cheney regarding the truth about the 9/11 attacks; 67% are also critical of the 9/11 Commission for not investigating the bizarre, unexplained collapse of the 47-storey World Trade Centre building 7 (WTC7). This building was not hit by any planes. Unlike WTC3, which was badly damaged by falling debris from the Twin Towers but which remained standing, WTC7 suffered minor damage but suddenly collapsed in a neat pile, as happens in a controlled demolition.
In a 2006 interview with anchorman Evan Soloman of CBC's Sunday programme, the vice chair of the 9/11 Commission, Lee Hamilton, was reminded that the commission report failed to even mention the collapse of WTC7 or the suspicious hurried removal of the building debris from the site - before there could be a proper forensic investigation of what was a crime scene. Hamilton could only offer the lame excuse that the commissioners did not have "unlimited time" and could not be expected to answer "every question" the public asks.
There are many, many more strange unexplained facts concerning the events of 9/11. You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to be puzzled and want an explanation, or to be sceptical concerning the official version of events.
Six years on from those terrible events, the survivors, and the friends and families of those who died, deserve to know the truth. Is honesty and transparency concerning 9/11 too much to ask of the president and Congress?
What is needed is a new and truly independent commission of inquiry to sort coincidence and conjecture from fact, and to provide answers to the unsolved anomalies in the evidence available concerning the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. Unlike the often-stymied first investigation, this new commission should be granted wide-ranging subpoena powers and unfettered access to government files and officials. George Bush should be called to testify, without his minders at hand to brief and prompt him. America - and the world - has a right to know the truth.

Fox GOP Debate, Shameful Tactics and the Smearing of Ron Paul

Never before in my life have i watched a presidential debate and was just left with nothing but disgust and anger over what i had just heard and witnessed. Last nights debate, Fox did everything they possibly could to smear and lie about Ron Paul. Despite the fact that a good majority of the audience broke out in huge applause for the Congressman, Fox deliberately boosted the audio microphones for Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney, making sure that their sneers and giggling every time Ron Paul was asked a question was heared by everyone.

When we were watching it last night we thought it was someone in the audience laughing every time a question was posed to Ron Paul, but with my reading into some of the reviews of the debate, it was clear that Fox boosted the mics for Giuliani and Romney, so if you watch the debate the laughter you hear through the whole thing is from those two fuckers.

Ron Paul's first question revolved around a purposeful misquote of his position of allowing airline pilots to be armed. And from then on the public smearing of Ron Paul took place for another 90 minutes.

"The second question though revealed the unbelievable bias of Fox News," writes Anthony Wade. "In response to a question about Iraq and troops, Paul reiterated that we needed to pull the troops home, period. He has consistently said that we need to address the entire foreign policy and start protecting our own borders and our own country. In response to the false notion that there would be a “bloodbath” if we just pulled out, Paul quickly reminded everyone that the same people speculating that there would be a bloodbath are the same people who said Iraq would be a “cakewalk” and a “slam dunk.” He then correctly pointed out the faulty logic that says we need to stay for stability when it is widely reported that our presence on the Arabian Peninsula is what prompted the attacks of 911. The response from Chris Wallace was to pose his own follow up question which was, “So you are saying you would take your marching orders from al Qaeda?”
"Are you kidding me? The inherent bias in the question was disgusting during a debate forum and Chris Wallace revealed himself as nothing but a whore for the machine and not a credible newsperson. Thankfully, Dr. Paul was up to the task by responding that he would take his marching orders from the Constitution."

The last question was a "hypothetical" about Iran using nukes and threatening Israel. Ron Paul was asked first to set the stage for the rest of the panel to attack him on his answer.

Then after the debate the smearing just continued with Sean Hannity continually attacking the Congressman every chance he got. He even went as far as to say "Paulites" were cheating in the text voting of who won the debate because Ron Paul was winning by 33% with Giuliani a far second with 15%, even though you could not vote twice, clearing trying to dismiss Ron Paul's popularity.

Just the whole display last night was sickening to watch, but I have to give it to Ron Paul, he held his ground and didn't let it get to him. Fox is the most evil news organization in the whole fucking world! And remember to all you Hillary supporters out there, Rubert Murdock who runs Fox is one of the biggest financial supporters to the Hillary campaign.

Ron Paul, Republican Debate: Iranian Threat

Ron Paul: Marching to the Constitution

Ron Paul - Supporter Forced To Remove Campaign Sign

August 22, 2007

Not all the media are biased. A local newspaper in New Hampshire reported on an
annual GOP bbq in the town of Hollis. It could be called "the Ron Paul show,"
they said, since the far bigger crowd that usual consisted mostly of our
supporters. One volunteer even rented an airplane and flew a wonderful sign
around the sky. What great, creative, self-starting people I'm meeting, at
every stop, all of them united by a love of America and American freedom.

Politics is usually about division. But this campaign is just the opposite.
Not only are our volunteers a bunch of happy warriors, but they also practice
the virtues of tolerance and peace, just as they want the nation to do.

The other day, the state chairman of an opposing campaign (not in New
Hampshire!), angrily tore a sign out of one of our supporter's hands and trashed
it. Different people with different beliefs might have responded differently.
But our people, though they'd been standing in the rain all day, applied the
Golden Rule. It's because of quiet heroes that I know we can change this
country.

A reporter in New Hampshire told me this story about Florida: she had seen the
same three supporters working every day passing out our literature, and so
decided to interview them. She was startled to discover that one was a
Republican, one was a Democrat, and one was an Independent. But I wasn't.

Freedom brings us all together. We can all agree on leaving people alone to plan
and live their own lives, rather than trying to force them to obey at the point
of a gun, as runaway government does. Instead of clawing at each other via the
warfare-welfare state, people under liberty can cooperate in a unity of
diversity.

There is no need to use government to threaten others who have different
standards, or to be threatened by them. Looking to our Founders, our
traditions, and the Constitution, we can build, in peaceful cooperation, a free
and prosperous society.

At a talk show in Nashua, New Hampshire, the host asked me about the fair tax.
Well, I agree on getting rid of the IRS, I told her, but I want to replace it
with nothing, not another tax. But let's not forget the inflation tax, I said.

This was something she had never considered, but after I talked about the
depreciation of our dollar by the Federal Reserve, its creation of artificial
booms and busts, and its bailouts of the big banks and Wall Street firms, to the
detriment of the average person, she loved it. That is another tax, she agreed,
a hidden and particularly vicious tax.

They try to tell us that the money issue is boring or irrelevant. In fact, it
is the very pith of our social lives, and morally, Constitutionally, and
economically, the central bank is a disaster. Thanks to the work of this
movement, Americans are starting to understand what has been hidden from them
for so long: that we have a right to sound and honest money, not to a dollar
debauched for the special interests.

Unconstitutional government has created a war crisis, a financial crisis, a
dollar crisis, and a freedom crisis. But we don't have to take it. We don't
have to passively accept more dead soldiers, a lower standard of living, rising
prices, a national ID, eavesdropping on our emails and phone calls, and all the
rest.

We can return to first principles, and build the brightest, most brilliant
future any people on earth has ever aspired to. Help me teach this lesson.
Help me campaign all over this country, in cooperation with our huge and growing
volunteer army. Help me show that change is not only possible, but also
essential. Please, make your most generous contribution
(https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate/) to this campaign for a Constitutional
presidency worthy of our people. Invest in freedom: for yourself, for your
family, for your future.

Sincerely,

Ron

(Picture above, FEMA training manual cover)



War Games



Multiple War Games Were Being Conducted on 9/11/01



Several different war game exercises were in play on the day of the attack. The limited public information on these exercises shows that they simulated the following events:
Hijackings
Attacks on buildings using aircraft as missiles
Attacks using toxic or infectious substances





These events are all elements of the actual attack, which involved four alleged hijackings, three jetliner crashes into buildings, and the toxic calamity at Ground Zero in the wake of the World Trade Center's destruction.



Operation Northern Vigilance
Conducted from September 9-11, this exercise redeployed jets that normally patrolled the northeast sector to northern Canada and Alaska. It echoed a Russian exercise scheduled from September 10-14 in which long-range bombers were dispatched to their northern territory.



The Vigilant Warrior and Vigilant Guardian Training Exercises
These were apparently a pair of war games (attacker versus defender) which involved live-fly simulations of hijackings. Both this pair of exercises and Northern Vigilance probably involved the use of "injects" into screens to simulate aircraft. These games apparently resembled the actual attack sufficiently to confuse military officers, as suggested by the following transcript.
FAA Boston Center contacts NEADS, saying, "We need someone to scramble some F-16s or something up there, help us out." “Is this real world or an exercise?” asked the military liaison officer? "No, this is not an exercise," responded the FAA official. "Not a test."



The only known source for the exercise named Vigilant Warrior is Richard Clarke's book, Against All Enemies. It is possible that the exercise referred to by Clarke was actually Amalgam Warrior, a NORAD field training exercise involving life-fly air interception, held twice yearly, in the spring on the East Coast and the fall on the East Coast.



The Global Guardian Exercise
On the morning of the attack, a large-scale military training exercise called Global Guardian was "in full swing." Global Guardian is an annual exercise involving Stratcom (the US Strategic Command), the US Space Command, and NORAD.



There is evidence that the date of the 2001 Global Guardian exercise was changed to correspond with the the terrorist attack. NBC News military analyst William Arkin, in his book Code Names, gives the date of the exercise as October 22-31, 2001. Also, a military newspaper, the Space Observer, reported in an article dated 3/23/01 that the exercise was scheduled for October of that year.
Stratcon directed the exercise, which included all the US strategic forces, from Offutt Air Force Base.



The National Reconnaissance Office Plane Crash Drill
The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) "provides our nation its eyes and ears in space." It operates a system of reconnaissance satellites to provide real-time monitoring of objects in the skies. On 9/11/01 the NRO headquarters in Chantilly, VA, were evacuated as part of a "plane into building" drill. The scenario involved a small corporate jet crashing into one of the campus' four towers.



The Timely Alert II Terrorism Drill
On the morning of the attack, personnel at the Fort Monmouth Army base in New Jersey were preparing to hold a drill, for the days of September 11 and 12, to test preparedness to respond to a chemical attack. The exercise was to involve law enforcement and emergency responders including the New Jersey State Police and Fort Monmouth Fire Department. Just before the exercise was to commence, reports of the attack in New York City surfaced and "real world events overtook the exercise," in the words of Army spokesman Timothy L. Rider.


The Tripod II Biowarfare Exercise
FEMA had deployed to New York City on September 10 to set up a command post at Pier 29, supposedly in preparation for a biowarfare exercise scheduled for September 12.

Ron Paul Speech at Iowa Straw Poll (Part 2 of 2)

Ron Paul May be Only Hope of Avoiding Draft


Special contributor Jennifer Reynolds suggests that 2008 US Presidential candidate Ron Paul may be the only hope of avoiding a draft. The subject of a draft came into play this week.
A top U.S. military officer in charge of co-ordinating the U.S. war effort in Iraq said yesterday that it makes sense to consider a return of the draft to meet the U.S. military's needs.
Lieutenant-General Douglas Lute, said the all-volunteer military is serving "exceedingly well" and the administration has not decided a draft is needed.
But in an interview with National Public Radio, he said, "I think it makes sense to certainly consider it, and I can tell you, this has always been an option on the table."
Does that sound scary? Do you think it is an over reaction? General Lute, the new War Czar, announced today, August 10, 2007:"Frequent tours for U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan have stressed the all-volunteer force and made it worth considering a return to a military draft, President Bush's new war adviser said Friday."I think it makes sense to certainly consider it," Army Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute said in an interview with National Public Radio's "All Things Considered." Ron Paul warned us all of this possibility back in November but it never made the headlines. In fact, I am sure most of you never even knew he said it. Once again, Ron Paul has proved to be the most prescient candidate running for President. More importantly, he wants to protect your children and if you are under thirty: he wants to protect your LIFE. Here is what Dr. Paul wrote on November 27, 2006:"Once again the possibility of reinstating a military draft is being discussed in Washington, and while the idea seems remote it is not unthinkable.
Democratic Congressman Charles Rangel of New York, soon to be a powerful committee chair, has openly called for reinstating the Selective Service System. Retired Army General Barry McCaffrey claims that our ground forces in both Afghanistan and Iraq are stretched far too thin, and desperately need reinforcements. Meanwhile, other political and military leaders suggest that several hundred thousand additional troops might be needed simply to restore some semblance of order in Iraq. We are nearing the point where a choice will have to be made: either decrease our troop commitments in Iraq and Afghanistan significantly, or produce thousands of new military recruits quickly. So a discussion of military conscription is not purely academic.
Yet the Department of Defense remains steadfastly opposed to a draft. A Pentagon report stated that draft registration could be eliminated "with no effect on military mobilization and no measurable effect on military recruitment." Most military experts believe a draft would actually impair military readiness, despite the increase in raw manpower, because of training and morale problems.
So why is the idea of a draft even considered? One answer is that our military forces are spread far too thin, engaged in conflicts around the globe that are none of our business. With hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in literally hundreds of foreign nations, we simply don't have enough soldiers to invade and occupy every country labeled a threat or deemed ripe for regime change. Given the choice, many in Congress would rather draft more young bodies than rethink our role as world policeman and bring some of our troops home.
Military needs aside, some politicians simply love the thought of mandatory service to the federal government. The political right favors sending young people to fight in aggressive wars like Iraq. The political left longs to send young people into harm's way to save the world in places like Darfur. But both sides share the same belief that citizens should serve the needs of the state-- a belief our founders clearly rejected in the Declaration of Independence.To many politicians, the American government is America. This is why, on a crude level, the draft appeals to patriotic fervor. Compulsory national service, whether in the form of military conscription or make-work programs like AmeriCorps, still sells on Capitol Hill. Conscription is wrongly associated with patriotism, when really it represents collectivism and involuntary servitude.I believe wholeheartedly that an all-volunteer military is not only sufficient for national defense, but also preferable. It is time to abolish the Selective Service System and resign military conscription to the dustbin of American history. Five hundred million dollars have been wasted on Selective Service since 1979, money that could have been returned to taxpayers or spent to improve the lives of our nation's veterans.Ronald Reagan said it best: "The most fundamental objection to draft registration is moral." The notion of involuntary servitude, in whatever form, is simply incompatible with a free society."To the students reading this out there: If you are old enough to vote, vote for Ron Paul. To the parents of children under 30, beat your kids to the polls!!! To the rest of the country: WAKE UP!!!!!! Politics may be boring but it is VITAL that you know what is going on. I just barely caught this message from Douglas Lute on a ten second mention on a major news network. Your very lives are now at stake. This is no longer a time in history that you can stay asleep and let others dictate who will be your choice for President. You must pay attention now. Learn about Ron Paul. He has been warning all of you about this for almost a year. Ron Paul is and has always been AGAINST THE DRAFT. Please go to that link. Read the articles. Ron Paul will protect your children and if you are of draft age, he will protect you too. It is just too bad that 16 year olds cannot vote, because this is the most important Presidential election in their lives as well. Keep in mind, women serve in the military too. It is very possible a draft would include women as well as men. Or should I say girls as well as boys. At 18, you should be worrying about what to wear to the prom, not whether you will be taken against your will and put in a country where people are shooting at you. Ok, so the draft is bad, but why should I support Ron Paul? Because he has written article upon article against the draft and wrote that we need to abolish the Selective Service Service. You can trust that people will behave in the future the way they have behaved in the past. On a positive note, Ron Paul strongly exceeded expectations this weekend in the non-binding Iowa Straw Poll. Mitt Romney was the expected winner due to the fact that he literally bussed Iowans to Ames from all over the state and paid the purchase price for every single supporter. Tickets cost $35 each. Romney had also spent nearly a month canvassing the state and so it was no surprise that he won. But Ron Paul proved to his critics that he could turn Internet support into real votes. The mainstream media had him polling around one or two percent, so imagine everyone's surprise when Ron Paul tripled that figure and took 9% of the votes. Dr. Paul had only been campaigning in Iowa for the past week due to his heavy schedule in Congress. In a surprising twist of events, Ron Paul supporters proved to be a little prescient too. The day before the Straw Poll they sought an injunction to stop the event over the use of Diebold Election Systems machines that the group claimed to have fundamental weaknesses and insisted that paper backup ballots be used as well. The injunction was not granted, but it is a good thing they had the back-up ballots because a few of the machines did fail and the paper ballots had to counted by hand delaying the results for hours. It proves, it is always prudent to stay vigilant over the democratic process.Back to the real issue at hand. It is great that Ron Paul did so well in the Straw Poll, but our very lives are on the line. This weekend I could find five newscasters who talked about a story about a baby pig who fell out of truck onto the highway, but the fact that the draft is being reconsidered deserved only a ten second mention. Has the world gone insane? Now, more than ever, Ron Paul's supporters are needed not just to get their man elected, but to protect us all from conscription. The good news is they just may be able to do it. I checked a month or two ago and Ron Paul had around 16,000 members in Meetup.com a site that gets people together of like interests to promote or discuss a cause. As of right now he has 32,632 members in 698 groups. I am sure that number will change by the time you click on it. If we continue this war we will need more troops and they will need to be drafted. Ron Paul is the only Republican who has promised to end this war now. And unlike many leading Democrats, Ron Paul will end it now and not leave a soldier behind.

Ron Paul in the Iowa Republican Debate on ABC

Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people; and not for profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government; and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it. -John Adams
