Open Discussion

[James H. Fetzer]

Sandy has suggested that we have a space for open discussion of topics that may be off-topic. That's fine with me. Let's see if the "Discussion" option will serve that purpose. Please give it a shot. Jim

Not sure where to put this information.  One day while doing a google search for FEMA actors, I found a bunch of documents that were really interesting which ended up leading me to this guy's website that has a wealth of very interesting information on FEMA exercises.  You will definitely find something here that you did not know before. If you visit be sure to click on all the images, they are instructions from FEMA and other government agencies, as well as training materials. Also you will want to see the pictures he's comparing.  While you're reading this, keep in mind that FEMA was doing a terrorist exercise in NY on September 11th.

New Campaign Asks U.S. and Israeli Air, Missile, and Drone Crews to Refuse to Attack Iran

http://dontattackiran.org

 

AN APPEAL TO UNITED STATES AND ISRAELI AIR, MISSILE AND DRONE CREWS TO STAND DOWN FROM ORDERS TO ATTACK IRAN

November 2011 -- Add Your Name!

  We are at an historic moment when decisions are being made in the United States and Israel on whether and when to attack Iran.

   These will be decisions by politicians and individual commanders and air, missile and drone crewmembers charged with the responsibility of raining down munitions in a strike that will likely kill hundreds if not thousands of Iranian people and potentially spread deadly nuclear contamination to millions in Iran and surrounding nations.  

   Beyond this, an attack on Iran will almost certainly bring retaliation that will result in even more human casualties and will disrupt global oil shipments, with severe human consequences around the world.

   An attack against Iran by the United States and Israel will violate morality, international and domestic law and the interests of humanity.  Additionally, both Iran and the United States are parties to the Kellogg-Briand Pact which forbids the use of war.

   There are those of us signing this appeal who have been members of the United States and other armed forces and understand very well the difficulty of refusing to follow an order to attack.  At the same time, each of us as the responsibility to preserve human life and nature in the face of inhuman and illegal orders, a responsibility defined by the Nuremberg Conventions.

   We urge all of you who may be called upon to attack Iran from the air, and indeed all military personnel who may be engaged in any kind of attack on Iran, to refuse to do so.

Sign Your Name Here.

This will be a very disturbing two years up to the 50 years after JFK.  I've heard Stephen King talking with Chris Matthews last night about his novel 11-22-63, another novel predicated on the lie.  Chris Matthews stated Lee Oswald killed Kennedy without even the slighest hesitation.  This is going to be a very painful process to hear the MSM over the next two years building up and promoting this lie.  This is just terrible how they are already getting well known authors on board .

 

And Chris Matthews, you say you see the JFK eternal flame burning each night as you drive home across the Potomac bridge.  Don't you owe him better than this pablum you're spewing out to the public.  You MSM people have totally lost yourselfs.

Thoth II said:

WATCH OUT! NOVEMBER 2013 IS COMING.

 

It's already happening.  I just heard a renowned scholar on Lincoln's Assasination James Swanson announce that he has been contracted by a major publisher to do a book about JFK's assasination.  Watch, he'll be on the national mall bookfair venue podium along with Vince Bugliosi in Nov. 2013 doing a big event proving that Lee Oswald killed Kennedy.

 

American people, this is 50 year on.  Please take the time to learn a course on critical thinking, logic, and scientific reasoning, and don't let these monstrous liars from the status quo take you for a ride. Ha, I hope these guys get BOOED off the stage!

Tell Congress to Read the 99%'s Deficit Proposal

Please SIGN THE PETITION in support of the "99%'s Deficit Proposal" and plan direct actions to tell the Super Committee that the 99% have better solutions to our nation's crises. You can plan your own action at your Congressmember's office or join us in Freedom Plaza in Washington, DC for marches to Capitol Hill. Check the calendar on occupywashingtondc.org for announcements.

After asking the Congressional Super Committee to consider taxing the rich or cutting the military (and being arrested for that offense), the Occupy movement held our own 99% Super Committee Hearing on November 9, 2011, with top experts, producing solutions based on evidence and popular demand.

The resulting report, "The 99%'s Deficit Proposal: How to Create Jobs, Reduce the Wealth ... has been provided to the 12 members of the Congressional Super Committee. An aide to a co-chair of the committee called it "the first actual proposal" they'd received and promised to read it.  Keith Olbermann has asked why we can talk about real solutions while the Congressional committee can't.

While Democratic and Republican members of that committee propose deep cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security without serious taxation of the wealthy or corporations, and without serious reduction in military spending, the 99% Proposal would protect essential social programs, raise taxes on the rich, and invest immediately in creating jobs.

Please SIGN THE PETITION in support of the "99%'s Deficit Proposal.".

This is a comprehensive and evidence-base d report that:

• Raises $600 billion in annual revenues thereby achieving the deficit reduction goals in two years; shrinks the wealth divide by taxing wealth more and labor less; restores a progressive tax system; taxes speculation by investors; and taxes wealth held overseas.
• Cuts hundreds of billions in annual spending through reducing the bloated military budget and ending the wars, stopping corporate welfare and negotiating better pharmaceutical drug prices.
• Creates millions of jobs by solving the housing crisis; creates public sector jobs for much-needed work on infrastructure, transit, education and other areas; creates health care jobs as part of improving Medicare and expanding it to cover everyone in the United States; invests in the more efficient civilian economy rather than the expensive mil itary economy; and stimulates the economy by erasing student loan debt.
• Saves and strengthens the safety net by restoring the amount of income covered by Social Security to 90% of all income as was always intended; ends poverty retirement by expanding Social Security; reduces spending on health care by expanding Medicare to cover everyone in the United States.
• Presents steps to creating a democratized economy, the already developing new economy that will replace the failed finance, corporate capitalism.

Please SIGN THE PETITION in support of the "99%'s Deficit Proposal."

'US infiltrates 9/11 Truth Movement'

The US government has spent millions of dollars to infiltrate the 9/11 Truth Movement so that it fails to ask any of the important questions, a senior editor has told Press TV's US Desk.

“In answering the questions ten years later about 9/11, if you turn to the American peace movement, I don't think you are going to find the real questions,” said Gordon Duff, senior editor at Veterans Today, on Tuesday.

Duff further added that the truth will remain hidden as the tenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks approaches, due to “controlled news and because of the millions of dollars spent infiltrating the peace movement and the 9/11 Truth Movement.”

“The lies are being repeated more and more. More wild, more outlandish, more false, and every effort is being made to deceive the American people on a scale, never before seen,” Duff said.

The 9/11 Truth Movement is a collective name given to a number of organizations and individuals who reject the US government account of the September 11, 2001, attacks.

Many of them believe that the attacks were either partly or fully an inside job.

The movement has listed 40 reasons to doubt the official story of the 9/11 attacks.

Subject: It's JFK Day - let's Occupy Truth!

Date: Nov 22, 2011 10:14 AM

Greetings, Today is the 48th anniversary of the LBJ-approved, CIA-executed murder of President Kennedy. It's time for us to Occupy Truth. You don't need to buy a ticket to Dallas and occupy Dealy Plaza - though that's not a bad idea. The nice thing about truth is, it's wherever you are! You can "Occupy Truth" by educating yourself, and your family, friends and neighbors. Let's celebrate JFK's radical "turn towards peace" that cost him his life, but still inspires us. Please come out this evening for Jim Fetzer's talk "Who Killed JFK?" at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, 3650 Humanities, 7 p.m.  FREE! http://www.UWsw.blogspot.com And don't miss my radio interviews on this critically important topic. Last Friday's interview with Saint John Hunt has gone viral around the world: "My Dad Helped the CIA Kill JFK!"  http://truthjihad.blogspot.com/2011/11/my-dad-helped-cia-kill-jfk.html   "My Dad Helped the CIA Kill JFK!" Part 2 http://truthjihad.blogspot.com/2011/11/my-dad-helped-cia-kill-jfk-p... (Part 3 will be posted later today.) Also, from 11 to noon Central today, you can listen to my interviews with James Douglass, author of JFK and the Unspeakable, and Saint John Hunt, custodian of the confession of his father, CIA agent E.

[Thoth II]

In Meltzer's latest show, I believe is doing a not so subtle dig at Jim Marrs good work on the 4th Reich infiltrating the american govt. after operation paper clip.  Meltzer is doing his usual service for the dark side, now implying that the 4th Reich is really neo-Nazi skinhead type groups.  This is obvious misdirection.

I really believe that the Decoded series was made as an anti-Jesse Ventura series.  I hope Jesse comes back into the media and knocks this disinfo. artist out of the water.  What disturbs me the most about Meltzer is how subtle his propoganda is, at first I didn't notice it, but with each succeeding show it is becoming much more obvious, obviously by design to get people on the hook.  

 

The propoganda engine is getting more slick and relentless on all fronts, and will not let Jesse Ventura go unanswered.  First they had to get him out of politics, now they want him and his memory to disappear totally.
