War for Fun and Profit

“War is a Racket.”  This is the title of a book and a speech given by the late Major General Smedley Butler, USMC.  Long time readers of Veterans Today have probably heard of him, but despite the fact that he was a two time winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor, most history books leave out his name.  Why do they do this?

Perhaps because after a very distinguished career in the Marines, he realized that most of his work in the military was in reality acting as a mob enforcer for the wealthy and their corporations.

Butler also deserves a special spot among America’s great for exposing the plot to stage a military coup and take control of the US government.  A coup in the USA?  Sounds like something you would expect in some “Banana Republic”, but never here. It would have probably succeeded if not for Butler’s patriotism, the real thing, not what now passes for patriotism.

Who plotted this coup and why?  In the summer of 1933, newly elected President Roosevelt was working hard to try to end the great depression.  Part of his plan included a redistribution of wealth to aid the less fortunate.  This angered the rich and powerful who had made millions and billions during the depression mostly on the backs of the poorest. (Sounds a bit like today, doesn’t it)

Members of the most wealthy families and corporations joined in a secret plot to overthrow Roosevelt by military force.  The families leading the insurrection included the DuPonts, the Morgans, The Goodyears, the Bush family (Yes, that Bush family), General Motors leadership, Chase Bank, and many other of the rich and powerful.  They planned to recruit an army of 500,000 retired military to march on the White House and seize control of the government to again make this a safe place for robber barons.

Some of the other conspirators are listed below along with their credentials:

JONATHAN POLLARD IS A BIGAMIST: OR IS HE???

Vatic Note:   This is a very interesting and otherwise unknown fact about the Israeli spy, Pollard.  Leave it to the investigative Israeli reporter,  Barry Chamish who is living in asylum in the USA due to several attempts on his life in Israel.  Why, you ask, did they want him dead?  Because of his outstanding journalism that has exposed the underbelly of the CFR controlled leaders of Israel.   Barry was the first one to even mention that Rabin was assassinated and did so in a book which makes a solid case that the powers that be in Israel in fact, assassinated him using an "Oswald" type dupe to take the blame.  He was also the first to expose the Sabbatean Nature of the leaders of Israel as well and the danger they were to the Israeli people themselves.  He also broke serious corruption scandels involved with land grabs and casinos.  So much and now another expose no one else has touched.  So enjoy and follow his newsletter to get the real truth about Israel and her leaders.

A minor industry exists in the Jewish world to create legends about Jonathan Pollard, one of which is his loyal wife Esther is fighting for his release. All was going well until Pollard's wife Ann came to town and spilled the beans. The following article in Yediot Ahronot paints Ann as disturbed and greedy, just the type of wife who would have enjoyed the good life and encouraged Jonathan to spy some more to keep it going.

      Ignoring her sad plight, she made two notable points. One is that Netanyahu personally arranged her immigration to Israel, with all that this implies. Her second lucid point is that she never received divorce papers from Jonathan, meaning they are still married.

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4108470,00.html

Pollard, however, tells a different story. She claims that even before contacting the consul she tried to reach out for help through the Israeli embassy, but was "thrown out on the street." Pollard insists that she was brought to Israel only after Netanyahu intervened, but states that she has not been looked after since.

"Referring to her relationship with her estranged husband she says she has never been granted an official divorce and is unable to reach him on the phone."

      Ann Pollard was never divorced from Jonathan!! When he married Esther, Jonathan knew it and that makes him a bigamist. That is, if he actually married Esther. There is no proof that he did.

We Don't Blame Jonathan"
by Ronen Bergman

(Reprinted from the Haaretz}

Jonathan's sister Carol Pollard: "This woman visited Jonathan one time and announced that she is engaged. I think it is very strange, because she announced this to the media and not to his family. I asked Jonathan on the phone whether this was true and he laughed. The next time she went to visit Jonathan she came back with this story about a wedding. I inquired at the prison and discovered that no such wedding took place. Since then, she photographed Jonathan and herself at the prison a few times at different intervals. Each time she reported that these pictures were taken at their wedding, even though she is wearing different clothes in each picture."

16 Statistics Which Prove That The American People Are Absolutely Seething With Anger

According to a whole host of polls and surveys, the American people are incredibly angry right now.  The American people are hopping mad at the government, the American people are hopping mad about the economy and the American people are hopping mad about the direction that this country is headed.  Never before in modern U.S. history have the American people been this angry.  There is vast disagreement about what the solutions to our problems actually are, but what everyone can agree on is that the American people are absolutely seething with anger right now.  The statistics that you are about to read are mind blowing.  We used to be such a happy country.  Once upon a time we were one of the happiest places on earth.  But as the economy has fallen to pieces anger has been steadily growing.  If something is not done to turn the economy around eventually this anger is going to erupt in frightening and unpredictable ways.

The Real Reasons Nation States Institute “False-Flag” Attacks and the Context of Principles by which they Occur

http://rediscover911.com/the-actual-reasons-nation-states-institute-false-flag-attacks/

By: Preston James*
Date: 2010-05-19

Throughout history the existence and reasons for the use of “false-flag” attacks have been understood only by insiders within the highest levels of government, the military and intel. Recently, after the 9/11 attacks the Internet (World Wide Web, WWW) has allowed citizen researchers to connect the dots and dig out and share information which previously would never have been so easily discovered and so widely available.

“False-flag” attacks provide a justification for a country’s leaders to use their military or special forces to attack, or enter into a war or declare war on an enemy or enemy construct, thereby providing a convenient pretext for a war which would not otherwise be acceptable to the populace of a nation-state. And some enemies are imaginary only such as the “war on drugs” where the government itself brings in and distributes the illegal drugs; or take the current “war on terror” where the US government has used its own disguised forces to pose as terrorists and at other times using “cutouts” they train, finance and direct to commit terrorist acts, sometimes with these cutout being mind kontrolled black operatives.

These self-inflicted, inside job terrorist attacks are then typically followed by the government then labeling any citizen that dissents as a “potential terrorist”, and then proceeding to pass highly restrictive laws that shred the US Constitution, take away Habeas Corpus, prescribe and allow torture even of young children including the crushing of their testicles in young male children if the state deems this is necessary to gain useful intel. The US Government actually obtained opinions from its own legal counsel during the Bush 2 administration that these measures were legal and justified.

 
Also approved was the use of illegal, “extraordinary renditions” where suspected terrorists or dissidents labeled as such are kidnapped (even from American soil and some even US Citizens), bagged over their head, tagged, hog-tied and taken to a black site secret prison or ghost ship in a foreign country to be incarcerated, tortured and in some cases murdered, all done under the false cloak of protecting “national security”. When such renditions are made within the US or it’s territories, it is considered illegal by the government perpetrators for neighbors or families or any witnesses to contact media or anyone else about this (as they are so informed) and the victims are not allowed an attorney or any legal representation at all. They are considered “enemy combatants” by the government, stripped of all their rights and treated outside the Geneva Convention with no state of war having been declared against any other nation. The so-called “war” is an imaginary war waged against a convenient, phony construct that exists only as a conjured deep-cover black ops intel entity disguised as “the enemy”, minimally comprised of mind kontrolled deviants who have been trained, motivated, financed, and actuated by the highest echelons within the shadow government.

And now some of the most senior US Senators are attempting to pass new laws making it legal to remove anyone’s citizenship if the state suspects them of being a terrorist (no proof will be required, just the opinion of the state or state department and only a Congressional ruling would then even allow their abduction to be acknowledged and their location of imprisonment revealed. These laws if passed will allow these criminal, unconstitutional acts of kidnapping and other related crimes against humanity by government to continue and even increase in frequency across a wider spectrum of society and will permit the mass seizure of anyone who opposes the newly emergent tyranny of government, even if such opposition is completely Constitutional and within the usual rule of law. This of course suggests that the USA is now being Nazified and following a similar course to what occurred in Germany in the 1930s. Many of the phrases now being used in the newly emerging structure of government including the gun control laws being passed have been extracted from Nazi Germany, such as “homeland security”. In fact, some of the gun control laws have been translated and extracted almost word for word.

The End Game is Approaching

This is going to be a bit of a rant, but I’m sure most of you are already long gold and silver, so I don’t need to talk about that. I’m sure most of you know to avoid U.S. government bonds, so I don’t need to talk about that either. I like to think of my readers as the exact opposite of our leaders; that is, you’re smart.

When I meet people in person, I try to avoid all topics involving economics and finance because it does no good to tear down people’s arguments. I fight my battles with facts, and this is an ill-advised strategy when you talk to people who brandish subjective arguments. But when it comes to our leaders, I tear down arguments with pleasure. They are mortgaging the future of our children by giving them an insurmountable debt burden, and this is a moral issue that bothers me.

Our leaders have been consistently wrong: How naive do you have to be to believe them over and over again? Bernanke said there would be no more quantitative easing, and people actually believed him? We had a chance to preemptively solve this crisis, but everyone had their heads in the sand. Everyone shrugged their shoulders and said “oh well, we’ll deal with it when the crisis comes.” Instead  of honest, intelligent debate, concerned Americans received ad hominem attacks. Now if this isn’t the definition of stupidity, please tell me what is.

Vatic 9/11 Special [2011]

The Vatic 9/11/2011 Special  is intended to serve as a 9/11 Reference.

Things have changed since last year. Dr. Judy Wood came out with her new book, "Where did the Towers Go?", an excellent addition to any serious 9/11 researcher's library. By golly if that book didn't get me into the directed energy weapon camp.

In 2010, the Vatic Project said:

The 9/11 Special does not shirk from saying that 9/11 was a nuclear event, that corporate media fooled the world with computer generated images (CGI), and that US Government/Military Insiders, Mossad/Israel, and zionists within the banks and media are the culprits.

In 2011, the Vatic Project amends that with "9/11 used cold-fusion or nuclear reactors to generate the power for DEW that supplied the accuracy and umpth to pulverize the internals of the towers".

As before, these rabbit holes of 9/11 DEW (powered by nukes or cold-fusion), CGI, and "whodunnit" are very deep and twisted. But if you only have time for limited 9/11 review, put these on your must explore list:

» September Clues 2008 Complete,
» Directed Energy Weapons,
» Nuclear destruction of the WTC (even though we now champion DEW), and
» Israel did 9/11, ALL THE PROOF IN THE WORLD!!

For your own peace of mind, satisfy for yourself whether or not they have merit. At risk is our entire system of justice.

Why should you care about this ten year old event today? Aside from the lingering effects of radiation in NYC affecting first responders and residents, you should care that the true 9/11 perpetrators are brought to justice, because left unchecked gives them and their successors free reign (again and again) to manipulate us and the world into other wrongful wars and crimes against humanity. Nations fall if justice is not pursued. Only we can save it.

Among the most basic of your take-away action items from this Vatic 9/11 Special, is that you need to be part of the voice to demand an independent investigation of 9/11. After that, you need to be questioning and denouncing all foreign & domestic policy and the right-left political games that are based on the lies of 9/11 ("... because we were attacked on 9/11(?)...") and that seem to scapegoat another [country, ethnicity, religion].

Credibility of Toronto 9/11 hearings jeopardized by replacing of Pentagon witness

http://truthandshadows.wordpress.com/2011/08/28/credibility-of-toronto-911-jeopardized-by-replacing-of-pentagon-witness/

Date: 2011-08-28

It appears that the organizers of the Toronto 9/11 hearings have utterly caved to pressure and thrown fairness and common sense under the bus in the process.

April Gallop, who was injured in the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001 along with her infant son, has been removed from the list of witnesses at the upcoming hearings (Sept. 8-11), to be replaced by an “unconfirmed” witness. If that replacement is assigned to make the case that a 757 did, in fact, hit the Pentagon then truthers everywhere should scream bloody murder.

I really hope that the disappearance of Gallop’s name from the schedule on torontohearings.org has some innocent explanation (no official reason has been given), but I’m not optimistic. Her appearance was to have been in video form.

Quest for consensus: Toronto 9/11 hearings navigate Pentagon minefield

For Graeme MacQueen, the word is – or should be – consensus.

MacQueen, a member of the steering committee for the Toronto 9/11 Hearings (Sept. 8-11), says the event was conceived as an opportunity to reach people who are not yet convinced that 9/11 was an inside job, and to show how the evidence does not support the official story. He says the fight over whether a 757 did or did not hit the Pentagon should be put on the back burner so that the hearings can succeed in raising awareness with the public and the media.

“The movement has been tearing itself apart with respect to what hit the Pentagon,” MacQueen said in an interview. “It doesn’t make sense.”

Peeling the 9/11 Onion: Layers of Plots within Plots

One of the primary means of immobilizing the American people politically today is to hold them in a state of confusion in which anything can be believed and nothing can be known… nothing of significance, that is.– E. Martin Schotz, HISTORY WILL NOT ABSOLVE US (1996)

9/11 appears to have been a classic “false flag” operation in which an attack is planned by one source but blamed upon another.  In this case, the evidence suggests neo-cons in the Department of Defense and their allies in the Mossad were actually responsible for the execution of the atrocities of 9/11.  That story was buried, however, in a surfeit of alternative explanations for which the evidence was far more tenuous but which were of much greater political utility.  And in each case, qualified experts uncovered evidence that induced sincere but false beliefs that they were “the real deal”.

The situation encountered with regard to 9/11 turns out to be far more sophisticated than the efforts that were made to divert attention from the conspirators in the case of the assassination of JFK, where “Track #1”, as we might call it, implicated Lee Harvey Oswald as “the lone assassin”.  Track #2 suggested that he working for Fidel Castro and that Cuba had done it.  Track #3 was redirected domestically to encompass the mob, while Track #4 targeted the Soviet Union.  But these were superficial distractions for which most of the evidence was flimsy and inconclusive. 9/11 presents a greater challenge to unpack, because in this case, planted evidence was more extensive and appeared to be real.

9/11: A Time For Truth

Date: 2011-09-06

Now is the time to support the Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth’s 10th Anniversary Campaign by making a donation at Remember Building 7.  Remember Building 7 will use the donations for a historic nationwide ad campaign in the month of October showing the American people the unmistakable footage of Building 7's demolition and forcing the mainstream media to finally discuss the issue.  The campaign will be a three-pronged blitz of TV, print, and out-of-home advertising. New York City subways will be flooded with poster ads, while TV ads saturate every major cable channel. Print ads will appear in several national publications and in local newspapers in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Dallas.

1,548 Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth recently released a must-see, 15-minute documentary entitled Solving the Mystery of World Trade Center 7.  Why did they focus on the destruction of 47-story modern steel skyscraper WTC Building 7, which imploded despite the fact that it was not hit by a plane?  Because it proves beyond any reasonable doubt that the World Trade Center buildings were destroyed by controlled demolition.

Demystifying 9/11: Israel and the Tactics of Mistake

http://dissidentvoice.org/2011/06/demystifying-911-israel-and-the-tactics-of-mistake/

By: Dr. Alan Sabrosky
Date: 2011-06-29

Many years ago I read a fascinating discussion of the “tactics of mistake.” This essentially entailed using a target’s prejudices and preconceptions to mislead them as to the origin and intent of the attack, entrapping them in a tactical situation that later worked to the attacker’s strategic advantage.

This is what unfolded in the 9/11 attacks that led us into the matrix of wars and conflicts, present (Afghanistan and Iraq), planned (Iran and Syria) and projected (Jordan and Egypt), that benefit Israel and no other country — although I concede that many private contractors and politicians are doing very well for themselves out of the death and misery of others.

I am also absolutely certain as a strategic analyst that 9/11 itself, from which all else flows, was a classic Mossad-orchestrated operation. But Mossad did not do it alone. They needed local help within America (and perhaps elsewhere) and they had it, principally from some alumni of PNAC (the misnamed Project for a New American Century) and their affiliates within and outside of the US Government (USG), who in the 9/11 attacks got the “catalytic event” they needed and craved to take the US to war on Israel’s behalf, only eight months after coming into office.

Israel, 9/11 and Jonathan Kay

by Joshua Blakeney

Graduate Student, University of Lethbridge

What’s worse than a Liberal candidate who compares Stephen Harper to Hitler? How about a Liberal candidate who believes 9/11 was an inside job. [sic][i]

Jonathan Kay, The National Post, September 25, 2008.

I have never bothered schooling myself in the minutiae of 911-ology — the microscopic examination of photos and videos, the comparison of melting points and mechanical properties of this or that construction material, the second-by-second timetable of U.S. Air Force activity on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. I have never done so because it is tedious and time-consuming.[ii]

Jonathan Kay, The National Post, October 27, 2008.

Following the [9/11] attacks, supporters of Israel spoke of a silver lining: The war against militant Islam suddenly was a global one.[iii]

A Review Essay on a Propagandist’s Journey in Search of the ‘Conspiracist Underground’

Waging The Battle for Reality

by Anthony J. Hall

Professor of Globalization Studies

University of Lethbridge

Among the Truthers: A Journey into the Growing Conspiracist Underground of 9/11 Truthers, Birthers, Armageddonites, Vaccine Hysterics, Hollywood Know-Nothings and Internet Addicts

Toronto: HarperCollins, 2011

The Sacred Myth of 9/11 as Propaganda for Aggressive War

Jonathan Kay’s Among the Truthers was written to coincide with the tenth anniversary of the contested events of 9/11. Its contents vividly illustrate the strategic geopolitical importance of the public’s changing perception of the hit on the Pentagon and the pulverization of the three World Trade Centers on September 11, 2001.
Most of Kay’s core arguments in the text are undermined by the author’s self-confessed decision not to address directly the empirically-verifiable proof pertaining to what did or did not happen on 9/11. Kay’s zeal to avert any hard reckoning with the complex body of evidence underlying his radical conclusions helps to shed light on the culture of cover-up and propaganda necessary to keep the sacred myth of 9/11 alive in the public’s imagination.
One of the biggest lies of 9/11 involves the all-purpose boogeyman known as al-Qaeda. The claim is often advanced either explicitly or implicitly that this caricatured embodiment of Islamic evil somehow extricated itself from the CIA and the other related agencies that founded the anti-communist proxy army of Islamic jihadists who in the 1980s overturned with US backing the Soviet-backed puppet regime in Afghanistan. Kay simply goes along with the prevalent public mythology constructed to present al-Qaeda as a credible replacement for the now-defunct Soviet enemy in order to justify the further expansion, empowerment and privatization of the world’s most formidable and expensive military-industrial complex.

A very detailed interpretation of al-Qaeda as the primary villain of 9/11 was fed into the echo chambers of the mainstream media from the first hours following the attacks until the present day. This interpretation has had the predictable outcome of driving a wedge between Islam and those adhering to a narrowed construction of the so-called West.

9/11 Disinformation Whores

Bruecke Note: With the 10-year anniversary of 9/11 upon us, the corporate media is continuing its conspiratorial role in keeping the world and us from the truth. A prime example is Jonathon Kay, author of Among the Truthers: A Journey Through America’s Growing Conspiracist Underground.and in my humble opinion a Jewish disinformation whore extraordinaire, who has made his rounds to various programs recently. Does he discuss legitimate points brought up by the 9/11 Truth Movement, like observable and measurable 100 feet of free-fall in WTC-7? No. Instead, he prefers ad hominem of 9/11 truthers in the form of a psychological analysis, liberally paraphrased: "9/11 Conspiracy Truthers are highly educated, rational, and fucking loony."

Mr. Kay first came to my attention as being on some sort of propaganda tour with this "On Point" NPR special program. Mr. Kay and Mr. James Meigs ( editor-in-chief of Popular Mechanics magazine and wrote forward and afterward the Popular Mechanics’ book and 9/11 hit-piece Debunking 9/11 Myths: Why Conspiracy Theories Can’t Stand Up to the Facts) were given the first 15 minutes to lay the ground work. The substitute moderator, Jane Clayson, showed her bias in the framing of her questions. The one member of the 9/11 Truth Movement she invited, Kevin Ryan, was given all of 5 minutes of air time, where he had to dodge mal-framed questions and keep our focus on salient points. Then the program returned with more Kay/Meigs over-generalizations, guilt-by-association, and smear regarding how crazy those damn 9/11 truthers are.

The comments to this are starting to wane at over 3,000. On Point and NPR were taken to task for this dreadful hatchet job.

We should be learning with someone like Mr. Kay, whenever they say something like "it wasn't Israel and that just shows the level of bigoted jew-hating in the 9/11 Truth Movement", by golly, that is a flag to look into Israel and certainly Mossad's potential role.


Canadian Public Broadcasting was in the tour. Canadian Public Broadcasting TV Station TVO Interviewed AE911Truth's Richard Gage, AIA, Barrie Zwicker (Towers of Deception), Author Paul Zarembka on the program "The Agenda" with Steve Paikin.


The first part is all Mr. Jonathon Kay, and he doesn't disappoint in giving wave-off's where he doesn't want the public to look, like into Mossad. He does his best to frame 9/11 Truthers. The first part lays the propaganda on so heavy, it is hard to stomach, but worth viewing to learn all of the areas where he doesn't want the public to look.

Of course, Mr. Kay gets his clock cleaned in part 2.

Steve Paikin, the moderator, showed where his biases lie in the framing of his questions and trying to corner certain panelists (e.g., Paul Zarembka) into donning labels, that while true are also loaded.

Mr. Gage did the best at steering the discussion to rational areas. However, they program did not purchase enough satellite time, so he was out of the picture for the later discussions.

Barrie Zwicker did the best job of clean Mr. Kay's clock. However, he weakened his argument by taking Mr. Kay's book personally. Although this was justified, Mr. Zwicker's focus on himself prevented him from enlightening us to the lies of Mr. Kay that were larger in nature.

Mr. Kay has been elsewhere on his media tour. The trend line involves how Mr. Kay frames 9/11 truthers as crazy, frames opponents as "jew haters", etc. He is such an overt example of Cass Sunstein influence.
