9/11 Truth, Stolen Elections and Beyond:
What’s going on in our country and what can we do about it?

On November 14th of last year, Ken Jenkins visited Sacramento to present a film which he had produced and directed:  9/11: The Myth and The Reality. Following the film, Ken presented some of the most solid evidence disproving the official story of 9/11, and then led an engaged and contemplative discussion.  On March 21st, he returned to give his PowerPoint presentation Overcoming Barriers to 9/11 Truth, where he explored the resistances to facing such realities as stolen elections and the truth of 9/11.  On April 18th, Ken Jenkins will be in Sacramento to present the third part of his three-part series.
 
9/11 in Context: The Big Picture
 
Using the 9/11 truth issue as a touchstone, this discussion will look at the nature of the overall changes we are going through that include other such unsettling realities as the stolen elections, lies leading to war in Iraq, and the response by our government to Katrina.  By seeing these in the context of a global awakening that we are all a part of, we can be more effective working on the specific issues that have the most leverage to facilitate this evolutionary process and thus create a better world.

Yeah, move beyond the specifics of 9/11 and go for the "big picture". You know the second coming of the October Revolution of 1917. Riigghhtt...

Geez, so much engineering ignorance about two 110 story buildings and one 75 story building built using late 1960’s gee-wiz construction methods. and so much of it from people who never set foot in NYC in their lives, never mind ever having set foot inside the WTC. So many fantastic “truth” theories requiring hundreds if not thousands of “inside job” co-conspirators in silently betraying their own birthland until, well, forever. So much name calling and rejection of simple explanations and solutions to nendlessly repeated over and over again “questions” because the well documented answers, many of which have been out there for years, because they come from mainstream sources. Twisting and distorting the testimony of thousands of eye witnesses while trumpeting the amateur, and sometimes contradictory opinions of a small handful.

To believe any or all of the “inside job truth theories” one has to believe the Bush Administration is comprised of mega-evil geniuses of unparalleled “white god” omnipotence, instead of the motley crew of phony’s they really are. And that thousands of experts who reject the sometimes utterly fantastic “mission impossible’ type “inside job” allegations are all somehow part of the “inside job.”

Are anyone besides the handfull of “true believers”, a few leftover radicals from the far right and far left, plus a certain number of Islamic extremists, still paying any attention to this stuff? And please don’t quote some obscure poll to me. Polls also show 50 percent of the people believe in angels and UFO’s.
by Exposing GW Bush regime deceit
Asking for any additional info about 9/11 beyond GW Bush regime's "official version" (aka 'those A-rabs did it!) certainly has people on both sides of the political divide highly upset. We need to remind ourselves the mass patriotic hysteria of victimization following 9/11 was when all the GW Bush regime misinfo on Iraq's missing yet never discovered WMDs appeared without question in the US corporate media. Maybe the radioactive depleted uranium dust resulting from the US military occupation of Iraq is thick enough to obscure those missing WMDs from the eyes of weapons inspectors??

Here's the DU dumped on Iraq by US military occupation in action;

"According to Falk, more than 30 percent of the DU fired from the cannons of U.S. tanks is reduced to particles one-tenth of a micron (one millionth of a meter) in size or smaller on impact. "The larger the bang" the greater the amount of DU that is dispersed into the atmosphere, Falk said. With the larger missiles and bombs, nearly 100 percent of the DU is reduced to radioactive dust particles of the "micron size" or smaller, he said.

When asked if the main purpose for using it was for destroying things and killing people, Falk was more specific:

"I would say that it is the perfect weapon for killing lots of people."

When a DU round or bomb strikes a hard target, most of its kinetic energy is converted to heat " sufficient heat to ignite the DU. From 40% to 70% of the DU is converted to extremely fine dust particles of ceramic uranium oxide (primarily dioxide, though other formulations also occur). Over 60% of these particles are smaller than 5 microns in diameter, about the same size as the cigarette ash particles in cigarette smoke and therefore respirable.

Because conditions are so chaotic in Iraq, the medical infrastructure has been greatly compromised. In terms of both cancer and birth defects due to DU, only a small fraction of the cases are being reported.

Doctors in southern Iraq are making comparisons to the birth defects that followed the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in WWII. They have numerous photos of infants born without brains, with their internal organs outside their bodies, without sexual organs, without spines, and the list of deformities goes on an on. Such birth defects were extremely rare in Iraq prior to the large scale use of DU. Weapons. Now they are commonplace. In hospitals across Iraq, the mothers are no longer asking, "Doctor, is it a boy or girl?" but rather, "Doctor, is it normal?" The photos are horrendous, they can be viewed on the following website"

Certainly the conspiracy theorists who question the US corporatist military industrial goverment routinely began their own examination of the 'pancake theory' of the WTC's collapse following 9/11. Maybe UFOs and crop circles is a bit beyond the scope of the average skeptical citizen investigations, though simply asking questions about physics of 9/11 and challenging the official doctrines of GW Bush is reason for shunning and namecalling??

The fact remains that 9/11 and GW Bush described 'war on terror' remains the primary excuse for the continued occupation of Iraq, and escalation with neighboring Iran. The colonial settler state of Zionist Israel continues to produce their nuclear weapons and points them at Syrai, Lebanon and Iran. Needless to say the Iraqi interim government (US puppets beyond a doubt) is seeking to privatize the Iraqi petroleum supply as the troop surge into Iraq continues. We again remind the skeptics that the primary reason for Halliburton in Iraq is evidenced by their focus on repairing the infrastructure of the petroleum platforms..

Who would profit from the sales of Iraqi petroleum on world market following privatization? None other than US oil companies and the thick oil slick that occupies the US Presidency;;

"The Oil and Gas Industry Is One of Bush's Largest Career Donors. The oil and gas industry ranked 12th among career contributions to George W. Bush. In 2000, the oil and gas industry ranked 8th in the top industry contributions. In 2004, the oil and gas industry ranked 15th in the top industry contributions. [Center for Responsive Politics]

…And the Bush Administration Is Filled with People from Big Oil

"Let us rid ourselves of the fiction that low oil prices are somehow good for the United States."

–Dick Cheney, October 1986.

Cheney Personally Profited from Rising Gas Prices in 2000. Vice President Cheney sold his stock in Halliburton in June 2000 for $5.1 million and his stock increased $1.4 million in value due to rising gas and oil prices that drove up the value of Halliburton stock. [Associated Press, 7/25/00 Boston Globe, 7/25/00]

Oil & Gas Industry Was Cheney's Biggest Donor in 1988. In 1988, Cheney's last congressional race, the oil and gas industry gave Cheney $27,500 in PAC money, Cheney's largest donor that year. [Center for Responsive Politics, http://www.opensecrets.org]

Cheney Personally Profited from Rising Gas Prices in 2000. Vice President Cheney sold his stock in Halliburton in June 2000 for $5.1 million and his stock increased $1.4 million in value due to rising gas and oil prices that drove up the value of Halliburton stock. In August 2000, Cheney exercised stock options and sold 660,000 shares between Aug. 21 and 28, 2000 for $35 million; Halliburton shares were soaring because of high oil prices. Cheney made an $18.5 million profit selling his shares for more than $52 each in August 2000. [Washington Post, 7/16/02; Associated Press, 7/25/00; Boston Globe, 7/25/00]

Though GW Bush appears to articulate like a jester at a wine tasting party, people should never underestimate the levels of devious deceit that this current US regime will go to in their quest for power and wealth. Iraq, Iran and other middle eastern nations are just another colonial exploitation for the masters of deceit in the GW Bush regime..

Am glad to hear that Mutada Al-Sadr is calling for unity amongst the Iraqi people, both Sunni and Shia. The sooner the Iraqi people recognize the US occupation as illegal and there to steal their petroleum from under their feet , the better. Iraqis should recognize the US military as an occupation army and treat them as such. All the more reason to bring the US troops home immediately!!

Al-Sadr calls for Iraqi unity

Iraqi Shia figure Muqtada al-Sadr has called on the country's Shia and Sunni Muslims to stop attacks on each other in the aftermath of the destruction of a revered Shia shrine.

More than 130 people have been killed after the shrine bombing

In a message he read by telephone on Aljazeera from the holy city of al-Qum in Iran, Sadr said: "Shia and Sunni mosques are being attacked as if we were enemies."

"No, we are brothers, we are brothers in Islam and peace. Love each other and do not attack each other. The blood, property and honour of a Muslim is sacrosanct ... the unity of Iraq is your responsibility."

Al-Sadr, who has been on a tour of Iran and Arab countries since late January, warned against "a plan by the occupation to spark a sectarian war," and called on Sunni groups such as the Association of Muslim Scholars to form a joint panel that would prevent sectarian attacks."

Clearly Muqtada Al-Sadr is a wise leader who recognizes the US attacks of divide and conquer via secterian violence have played a major role in the history of both Iran and Iraq. From the arming of Saddam Hussien by Reagen's special envoy Donald Rumsfeld against Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini to the Iran-Contra scandal, the two nations have been coerced into war against their neighbors, eventually weakening them both. All this as decades of pretext to a final invasion and occupation for the petroleum extraction. My friendy heartfelt advice to Muqtada Al-Sadr and his supporters is to immediatle target the petroleum infrastructure ASAP, and please try to not kill too many US soldiers in the process as most are ignorant lower income youth who don't really know why they're sent there, cannon fodder coerced into military service by the GW bush regime's quest for petroleum power. Maybe some of the young soldiers would escape to safety if given the chance? There's plenty of places to leave while alive, maybe Al-Sadr can help with a non-violent exit strategy for US soldiers sick of being there, food and shelter in the mountains?? Just a thought..

Call me a right wing or left wing or Islamic extremist (more name calling), at least i'm not going to be naive enough to believe the deceit of the GW Bush regime's 9/11 official version..
