One hell of a conspiracy theory

https://nomoregames.net/…/flying-a-boeing-767-piece-of-cake/ As we may recall, although it was a while ago, back in September 2001 - that '9/11' was carried out by Muslim hijackers who trained at flight schools in Florida and California (?). Well those schools must have had Boeing 767s for them to train on...? Surely....? Boeing must lend its major passenger airliners to such schools..... but any Hollywood or James Bond movie shows such schools providing training on tiny planes, carrying perhaps the trainee pilot and the teacher. Yet the question that no one in the official news media asked is how did those 'Muslims' go from being trained on a tiny plane, to immediately taking control of sophisticated giant airliners and fly them with deadly accuracy into buildings....? Can we learn to drive a car with a 'G' license, and simply stride into a giant truck and drive it to wherever? I would have thought that impossible. But what do I know? Here's how flying a Boeing 767 is shown to be a mere 'piece of cake'. So shame on those airline pilots who have undergone scores of hours of training in the classroom and in the cockpit (of a 767...), before being allowed to fly a 767. What a joke, when the job is so eee-zzy. Professor David Ray Griffin's (of Claremont University in California) many books - New Pearl Harbour, Debunking 9/11 Myth Debunking (that's right - he totally debunked the BS the US government came up with after polls showed close to half of all Americans believe 9/11 was an 'inside job', (aka a 'false-flag operation' - done many times before by America to justify its wars against the Philippines back in 1899 or so, Mexico and more recently Vietnam)), and so on - decimate the official story of the US government; and prove it was an inside job carried out to provide the pretext for invading Iraq (home to the second largest oil reserves in the ME) and Afghanistan (home to many essential minerals, but also the pathway through which pipelines must pass). And yes, there are scores - more than a hundred - such impossibilities in the US government's story of 9/11. As Professor Griffin shows it is the official US government coverup that is the real conspiracy 'theory'. Or rather conspiracy 'fiction'. But when there is a wider 'conspiracy of silence' which refuses to consider the real evidence, that real evidence which proves a completely different conspiracy with perpetrators within the W. Bush administration, then the lies become accepted without examination of the evidence. Then there is the fact that normal security by the US airforce had been ordered to stand down. Why? Because on that very day, the US government was conducting simulations of attacks identical to the ones that were allegedly carried out! For example, there is AE911 - representing hundreds of American architects and engineers who challenge the official explanation of how Building 7 collapsed. Most people are not even aware that there was a third tower - 47 storeys tall - which collapsed in hours though no 'airplane' struck it. The official US government finding, or rather 'conspiracy', is that debris falling from the 2 principal towers which were allegedly struck by hijacked airliners, and which turned into dust within hours - something that hundreds of architects and engineers say is impossible - caused the third tower to turn to dust and collapse into its own footprint within hours, classic planned demolition style. Two impossibilities - that the 2 main towers could have metastasized into dust within hours from airplane fuel. And secondly that a third tower - also a massive steel-frame building - could collapse on its own footprint in classic planned demolition style - within hours because of debris from the 2 main towers. There is a long video on youtube by Dr. Judy Wood, who provides powerful evidence that the 3 buildings were laced with a top-secret US army material - nanothermite - which turned the steel frame into dust - and kept fires burning for weeks. Naturally there are plenty of people who dismiss it as 'lies'. And the report that Mayor Giuliani had some 120+ truckloads of debris from the towers carted away and sold or destroyed within hours of the event, likewise receives no official attention. What was this if not destruction of the evidence? Professor Griffin also talks about many things that were simply disregarded by the US government 'investigation'; which ought perhaps to be called the 'New Warren Commission' report. Things like multiple reports and testimony by many onlookers and firefighters that they heard explosions in the buildings after and before the 'airliners' struck. And there is the absence of a single official government video from the 'most photographed building on the planet' (the Pentagon) which shows bodies, baggage, debris, fuselage, or the practically indestructible jet engines, which would have resulted if a hijacked airliner had struck it. There are actually over 80 videos including from a gas-station across from the Pentagon, which were seized by the FBI back then, but NOT ONE has been released, for obvious reasons - they would decimate the American government's conspiracy theory. Or rather conspiracy 'fiction'. The only available footage on youtube shows a single hole - caused most likely by a cruise missile - which is what the white tube-like object travelling at high speed at ground level almost certainly is - from the only video of the event photographed by a member of the public. At the time, that missile reportedly killed 125 members of the US government investigating the disappearance of $2.3 trillion from the Pentagon, also eviscerating all the files and evidence. In December 2017, forbes.com reported that 2400 auditors were investigating the disappearance of $21 trillion, or $21,000 billion, from the Pentagon. Something was rotten in the state of Denmark. A lot more is rotten in the greatest 'shit-hole' on the planet.

The American President 'anoints' Jerusalem

The US President's decision to officially recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital was mildly criticized by Western leaders. The British PM called it 'unhelpful'; France's President called it 'unilateral', suggesting a lack of support outside the US. Actually there is practically universal condemnation for it and for the century old plot, hatched in America (eg Supreme Court 'justices' Felix Frankfurter and Louis Brandeis) and Britain ('Lord' Balfour) to carve a Zionist homeland for Jews out of lands inhabited by Muslims and Christians. This involved the brutal expulsion of over 750,000 Palestinians from their homes back in 1948 (over which their descendants still demand the 'right of return', something Israel can never allow, since that would eviscerate the theft of this country), one of the major war-crimes since WW2 supported fully by the US, UK and some Western countries, specially the ones who also were established the same way - as 'settler-colonials' who exterminated or ethnically 'cleansed' the local populations using various pretexts (calling them 'savages' back then, with the current term of justification being 'terrorists'), and then simply stole their lands. The super-rich Jews (Rothschilds) and their super-rich backers (Rockefellers, British 'royals', among others) who supported the crimes of Israel overcame significant opposition including in the US State Department and media, as described in Alison Weir's book 'Against our Better Judgment'; those who spoke up for Palestinian rights saw their careers derailed and destroyed. Today those who criticise Israel are dismissed as 'anti-Semites', but the world's leading anti-Semitic state is surely Israel, if the word 'Semite or Semitic is truly interpreted - as meaning a person who speaks a Semitic language - hence Arabic and Aramaic. In contrast, Tel Aviv University professor Shlomo Sand has described most Israeli Jews as 'Khazars'.... in his book The Invention of the Jewish People. Ilan Pappe, Miko Peled, and of course Noam Chomsky among others have described the crimes of Israel's leaders in detail, which include acts of savage terror by Zionist militias led by men who went on to become Prime Ministers - Begin, Shamir, Sharon. The acts of butchery by these Zionist terrorists rivalled those of the Nazi SS, including rape and disembowelment of pregnant and old women and school girls and the murder of old people: the now forgotten bombing of the King David hotel, and in the present includes bombing of Gazan children by Netanyahu, and harassment, incarceration, torture of Palestinians, and the brazen theft of the little of Palestine that remains in Palestinian possession - Gaza and West Bank, stripped progressively of its best parts - arable land, water, and the rest 'Bantustanized' with walls, highways, security fences and checkpoints; all calculated to torture, strangulate and slowly exterminate the surviving Gazans and West Bank-ers, while pretending all the while that they (the victims) are terrorists who eschew peace. In her book (p. 61) Weir cites an interview for US television in which Menachem Begin is asked 'How does it feel .... to be the father of terrorism in the Middle East?" To which the proud reply is: 'In the Middle East? In all the world". Naturally all this is excised from Western history and news coverage. 9/11 was carried out by neo-cons Cheney Rumsfeld and many others including Pentagon generals, with Mossad playing the role of lining the WTC towers with nanothermite.... The successful transfer of blame to Arabs who simply could not have done it, has greatly accelerated the plans of the 'Zio-Nazis', which are to smash Muslim countries and incorporate Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and parts of Egypt and Saudi Arabia into a 'Greater Israel', that mythically existed at the time of David and Solomon according to the Old Testament. Just as Israel cannot allow the return of the expelled Palestinians, the US government cannot allow a re-opening of the investigation into 9/11, as it would lead to the execution of virtually the entire former W. Bush administration, and the decimation of American prestige around the world, which got a significant boost after 9/11. Therefore all public and international calls for the 'truth' are dismissed as 'conspiracy theory', and the mountains of evidence proving it was an 'inside job' - absence of airplane debris, baggage or bodies in any of the alleged airliner crashes, the clear video showing a white tube (cruise missile) hitting the Pentagon and conveniently murdering 125 employees investigating the disappearance of $2.3 trillion from the Pentagon as well as eviscerating all the files of evidence, etc. etc. etc... simply ignored by the major corporate and Jewish-owned media who do not report on any of these matters, but only on the pitiful pinpricks of retaliation (eg rockets launched in Gaza)...... Truly, we live in horrific times.

THE NARRATIVE OF MALE PREDATION AND FEMALE VICTIMHOOD

The allegations which started against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein have turned into a veritable tsumami of allegations against men everywhere, regardless of place or position. The unspoken assumption is that the truth about men as devils and women as angels is finally coming out. And surely it is long overdue to cast a dissenting voice..? This hideous hysteria about predatory men taking advantage of 'helpless' women has gone on long enough, and frankly is not new. The spate of allegations against some possibly predatory men - no denying they are out there - conveniently supports the illusion and false ideology that all men are predators and all women victims, an ideology that is wicked and unjust. There are plenty of women who are hateful, malicious predatory vermin - whether they are the gold-digging type, or the ones who bully, nag, hen-peck and dominate their male partners, but especially the ones who make false allegations of rape, assault or sexual harassment knowing the current judicial/legal system will act on them Going back thousands of years to Samson, we know how the most powerful man was brought down by the clever Delilah... plenty such examples exist in history. But restricting oneself to modern instances, let's consider the recent Canadian case of Jian Ghomeshi - whose career was destroyed by predatory women who hunted him for his celebrity...throwing themselves at him because of it, much like teeny-boppers have thrown themselves at rock-stars for generations.... If men are turned on by female beauty, women are turned on by proximity to power, celebrity, status, and of course, money and the toys it buys... Women play the passive-aggressive game, always ready to accuse men if men don't dance to their tune exactly as ordered. And the story of their male victims remains untold, repressed, buried by official adherence to the ideological narrative. The clever Ms. DeCoutere claimed she did not remember cuddling with the man who supposedly 'choked' her, or writing him she 'loved his hands' and wanted him to 'f..k her brains out'. But nothing has happened to her despite this brazen and malicious perjury which could have put Ghomeshi in jail for decades. Going on... let's look at the great actress Meryl Streep, winner of many Oscars.. she deserves another one for claiming she was unaware of Harvey Weinstein's conduct (assuming the allegations against him are founded)... really.... hadn't she heard of the century old 'casting couch'? And Ryan Gosling - the macho ex-Canadian hunk ....hasn't he had Hollywood starlets or fans throw themselves at him..? Did he perhaps speak out under pressure or threat of allegations that might otherwise surface - true or not? Of course there is another side altogether - of women who destroy the lives of men with false allegations - whether of rape or assault or sexual harassment, such as in the Ghomeshi case. And the biased system of injustice in North America allows such men no recourse whatsoever... no punishment for female perpetrators and no compensation for their male victims. While there may have been abuses by men specially in places like Hollywood, the reality in the real world outside it is often different. Even illiterate immigrants in Canada know they can have their husbands thrown in jail on accusations which may have zero basis in fact. Police have been indoctrinated in North America to arrest the man in any domestic dispute, regardless of the evidence. Some years ago, Vancouver police infamously and criminally beat up an innocent Vietnamese man after receiving a 9-11 call; CBC only called it a case of 'mistaken identity', not criminal assault by police. In the US a decade ago, a heated argument at a motel between a football player and his wife resulted in his arrest, over the protests of his wife who pleaded she had physically assaulted him. When evidence plays no role, it is not justice but ideology that is operating. These matters go far beyond 'harassment' of the male victims - whose lives are devastated or destroyed by a cruel and malicious system of injustice. In the GTA a few years ago, 2 South Asian doctors were accused of sexual assault by a woman they picked up in a bar, who decided in the morning to accuse them (the 'morning after' syndrome); their faces and names were broadcast on TV and print, the alleged victim remaining anonymous. After a female judge threw out her rape allegations, there were neither consequences for the accuser, nor redress for her male victims who were scarred for life. And it is well known in Canadian family courts that women have been falsely accusing their estranged spouses of child abuse to get custody, but this persistent perjury has not resulted in consequences for them. Women are emboldened to make false accusations by such a system, which has no basis in law, but is clearly an ideology designed to humiliate and demoralize men, for reasons that surely have to do with the neo-liberal destruction of millions of manufacturing jobs, mostly male jobs.... because the ideology is a flagrant rape of both natural justice, and the Canadian Charter S. 15's guarantee of equal treatment before the law. But our judges take their direction from the great neighbour to the south, whose Supreme Court Canada's 'Chief Justice' Beverley McLachlin once called 'the most important court in the world'. The mighty US knows it faces no external threat, being protected by one-half of the planet's weapons of mass murder, terror, torture and destruction. Only possibly an internal one... to preclude which measures have been enacted, such as the building of 'immigration detention centres', which some have said are proto-concentration camps in the event of a revolt. Where is the massive opioid crisis coming from for instance..? As is typical, Western media discourse excludes the relevant facts and contexts, piously raising questions but burying the answers. When official government policy has been to outsource jobs to benefit a tiny 0.01%, and the rights of men in law brazenly quashed, what must result if not suicides, alcoholism, opioids..? Yes there are male predators, but predators are not exclusively men... there are plenty of female ones as well. They just have different ways of going about it. The penis projects outwards, the vagina inwards... biology has powerful impacts on psychology and behaviour. Women have had thousands of years to develop thousands of tricks they play on men.... in addition to bombarding them with pheromones there are billions of dollars worth of industries dedicated to prettifying women - putting layers of make-up, shaving and waxing ugly hair, shampooing and hair-dos, fashion and clothing, etc... To pretend all of this has nothing to do with attracting male attention is part of the great lie about female victimhood. Yes the workplace has traditionally been dominated by men, but even that is changing rapidly with positions in the federal bureaucracy, even places like firefighting, going to women who may or may not deserve them... in some federal agencies what used to be 80% male positions are now 80% or more manned by women. Like much else in North American society this narrative of male predation and female victimhood has a massive fog of deception, deceit and outright falsehood about it. It would seem more accurate to now call North America the 'home of the Eunuch, land of the John Bobbitt', rather than the brave and free. The judge who dismissed the charges against Ghomeshi called them 'laced with deception'. There is plenty about the official narrative of sexual harassment that is 'laced with deception'.

The Las Vegas Massacre

The Las Vegas massacre has led to much official soul-searching about the motive of the perpetrator. How could such a heinous crime occur in Bible-thumping, Jesus-loving Christian America, which stands for freedom, human rights and democracy? Patrick Buchanan on his website talks about the 'dead soul of Paddock'.... but isn't that dead soul is a molecule of the dead soul of America itself? Mr. Buchanan says Paddock killed those many people virtually for sport.... but there is plenty of American government precedent for that. In the UN-US war against North Korea in 1950, for instance, the US flattened North Korean cities, killing about 20% of that country's population, something the major news media never mentions in its rants about the North Korean leader. Or that it is the US army which has stood on his country's border, threatening it again for the past 67 continuous years... two-thirds of a century! When the bombers in 1950 ran out of targets - literally - they destroyed North Korea's dams, flooding that country's agriculture and horticulture - decimating it. And the US pilots who did this were exultant - boasting about 'kicking ass'.... Similar crimes were committed with similar glee in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia and many other countries. Prior to the catastrophic invasion of Iraq in 2003 for instance on false pretences, the US government openly bragged about the 'shock and awe' its carpet bombing with thousands of B-52s, would inflict on Iraq.... the murder of hundreds of thousands of civilians, a majority being women and children, was not mentioned or ever reported in Western news media. Wikipedia reports that 80 million unexploded American bombs remain in Laos, regularly blowing up children. During WW2 in Japan, one of the great sociopaths of modern history - Curtis Lemay - burned some 67 Japanese cities to the ground (virtually - on average 50%) - leaving only Hiroshima and Nagasaki intact for the atomic bombs.... unnecessary as Japan was completely surrounded and wanted to surrender. But the myth of Japanese soldiers willing to sacrifice themselves to defeat an American invasion was used to justify Lemay's crimes. And the Bible-thumping President Truman ordered Fat Man and Little Boy dropped purely to send a message to the Soviet leader Stalin that the US was the undisputed boss of the planet. And two-thirds of a century later, American leadership still talks about the 'day of infamy'... in last year's visit to the USA by the Japanese PM, it was he who offered condolences for the 2400 souls lost in Pearl Harbour; Obama did not offer any for the hundreds of thousands or more Japanese souls killed in retaliation. 72 years later, after avenging Pearl Harbour a hundred times over, US leaders still froth at the mouth about the ‘day of infamy’. What words can suffice to describe the criminality and blood-lust of such people, or 'the horror, the horror', that they constitute the elites who control the world's SuperPredator, the SuperTerrorist..? In their “Project for a New American Century”, Cheney and Rumsfeld spoke openly of the need for a ‘New Pearl Harbour’, which would accelerate their plans to destroy the Middle East, take control of the massive oil reserves owned by Muslim countries, and incorporate major sections of them into a ‘Greater Israel’. The evidence is now overwhelming - beyond any reasonable doubt - that neocons Cheney and Rumsfeld planned and carried out 9/11, aided by NYC mayor Giuliani who had the massive debris evidence (full of top-secret US army material nanothermite which turned the WTC towers to dust) carted away within hours from 'Ground Zero' (before travelling to the UK to receive his 'Commander of the British Empire' medal); that cruise missiles photoshopped to look like airliners were used in the attacks which occurred in a country with the most sophisticated air-defence systems ordered to 'stand down'; and the blame put on Arabs who simply could not have piloted massive airliners with their minimal flight-school training on tiny planes, or undertaken the 'fighter-jet' like contortions the alleged planes did, etc etc.... so that their "Project for a New American Century', replicating the Oded Yinon plan for 'Greater Israel', could be carried out, along with the assault on civil liberties launched by the 1200-page "Patriot Act', miraculously produced within hours of 9/11, and in that paranoid atmosphere, easily stuffed down the throats of Congress...... so that the murder of hundreds of thousands (by now millions) of Muslims could be carried out, and their countries destroyed, their oil stolen.... In a country like this, is there any surprise that a dead soul like Paddock would be produced, when its top government officials, its highest ranking judges, are among the worst criminals in history. American crimes since 1945 easily rival if not exceed those of the Nazis. But the world's single Tyrannosaurus-Rex keeps crying wolf to deflect attention from its own crimes. Like the murder of thousands or tens of thousands of civilians, women, children, wedding parties...by Obama's weekly drone assassinations - never covered by official Western news media. One obstacle to the global empire ambitions of the neo-cons is Russian President Putin, who unlike other Western leaders, will not take American orders, or stand by helplessly as the neo-cons plot the destruction of his country and the theft of its massive resources. The entire 'Ukraine crisis' is a brazen inversion of the facts - that the Obama administration carried out a violent coup d'etat in Kiev to remove a Russia-friendly leader and instal a US puppet, in support of massive American investments (the biggest one led by Joe Biden's son) in Ukrainian oil and gas fracking. Or that if Putin had not annexed Crimea, formerly part of the USSR, US-controlled NATO would have set up a naval base at the only warm water port available to Russia. Another obstacle is the growing economic power of China, and China's 'New Silk Road' project to transform 'Eurasia'.... So China, Russia, and India are conspicuously omitted from the great 'trade agreements' planned by Obama, unquestionably one of the greatest actors (as in Hollywood) in history. Except they are not trade agreements, but 'corporate-rights agreements' - decimating the rights of nation-states and populations to safe, clean environments and societies, so their resources can be plundered by the American (and European corporations)that will face no obstacle if such agreements are installed. The last year has been dominated by hysteria about 'Russian interference' in the US election. Not a word about the American destruction of democracy in dozens of countries since 1945 - assassinations, CIA operations, terror crimes, death squads - still going on in 137 countries around the globe, creating the 60 million refugees in the planet today, but never reported in the major corporate owned media. Or of the brazen American interference in Russian elections, so a drunken stooge (Yeltsin) in the pockets of Wall Street could be installed, a fact openly boasted about on the cover of Time magazine? Followed by the liquidation/theft/privatization by Wall Street, of trillions of dollars worth of Russian resources...but not one that sated American greed. Inline image 1 Or the continued denial of climate change by the Republican party, despite clear incontrovertible evidence which most recently destroyed 90% or more of Puerto Rico, and islands owned by France and Holland. In the 1970 Godfather movie, the leading mafioso is described as 'carrying the judges and politicians of New York in his pocket, like loose change'. The 0.01% who carry the top judges and politicians of America in their pockets are not mentioned... like the 5 American Supreme Court 'justices' who wrote Citizens United..... Those liquidators of democracy (into plutocracy) were the same ones who also attacked American democracy in 2000, installing the 21st century's worst war-criminals into the White House, against the wishes of the American people. Their judicial hands are also stained with the murder of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and Afghans... But these basic facts are never mentioned in the hideous hysteria about Russian hacking - or that the US is itself the greatest hacker of the entire planet.... a country where the leading financiers of war-crimes can carry out brazen multi-trillion dollar criminal frauds, and suffer no consequences whatsoever.... The one developed country on the planet which does not allow a publicly funded health-care system which over 60% of its population wants, because the insurance companies and health mercenary organisations who gorge one of the greatest gravy-trains on the planet, will not allow it......the other multi-trillion dollars gravy-train being the Pentagon, CIA etc.. paid for by American taxpayers so American corporations can rape and pillage all over the world, protected by the 'gangsters for capitalism'. A country which still pretends it is a frontier society, therefore awash in guns so the gun-manufacturers flourish while the NRA prattles about the 2nd amendment...? In a country like this, is there any surprise that the likes of Paddock should flourish?

REQUIEM FOR MURDERED CHILDREN

REQUIEM FOR MURDERED CHILDREN The terrorist attack in Manchester in which 22 were killed and dozens more injured has received the publicity it deserves. World leaders, including the British (and Canadian) Queen, have condemned it as a shocking, cowardly and wicked attack. Public reaction included flowers, condolences, candles… Today news covered another attack by ‘armed men’ in Egypt on a bus carrying ‘coptic Christians’, many of whom were children. But CBC news also reported on a US attack on a Syrian site that killed some 35 civilians, including ‘women and children’, perhaps for the first time. As Western leaders of the G-7 meet in Sicily and also discuss their reaction to the ‘global’ terror threat, it seems appropriate to remember other children who were also ‘murdered’, but whose memory is forgotten, marginalized, or never been reported. George H. W. Bush (the senior) helped ‘sell’ the 1991 invasion of Iraq (following its invasion of Kuwait) with the story that Saddam Hussein was killing ‘babies’ in Kuwait. His country (aided by the UK) then went on to kill between 500,000 and 750,000 babies in Iraq, with their policy of sanctions called ‘genocidal’ by the 2 British diplomats administering it (who resigned after their protests were dismissed by US Senators with: ‘these men are paid to work, not talk’). Secretary of State Madeleine Albright who was asked in an interview about these infant genocides, replied that it was ‘a price worth paying’. After the 2003 invasion and occupation of Iraq (following a decade-plus of ‘sanctions’ and ad-hoc bombings by the US and UK whenever Bill Clinton or Tony Blair needed a boost in their domestic political ratings) ended up with an insurgency/civil war in Iraq, belying Dubya’s declaration of ‘victory’, and cost US taxpayers some $4 trillion or more (also putting - along with the 2008 economic crash caused by the multi-trillion dollar sub-prime fraud for which no one was prosecuted, being ‘Too Big to Jail’ – the US $’s reserve currency status under pressure), President Obama resorted to a ‘no-boots on the ground’ approach to the destruction of the other Middle Eastern countries, called for by the Oded Yinon plan for ‘Greater Israel’ (to incorporate not only Gaza and the West Bank but pieces of other countries like Syria, Jordan and Lebanon), or its US counterpart PNAC – the Project for a New American Century. Through the usual devices available to the global SuperPredator and Terrorist, Libya and Syria have been destroyed. One ‘conspiracy theory’ on the internet calls these events the logical execution of Oded Yinon/PNAC, following the ‘false-flag’ operation 9/11 – the ‘New Pearl Harbour’ that PNAC called for as the trigger. The task of the US and Israel is of course only partly finished. Millions of Muslims have been murdered a majority of whom almost certainly were women and children; millions more turned into refugees - such as the bloodied Syrian boy who captured Canadian imagination and led to P. M. Trudeau’s acceptance of 25,000 refugees from Syria. In its buildup to Iraq 2003, the US government boasted about the ‘shock and awe’ its bombings would cause… not reported was that massive numbers of civilians including women and children would be eviscerated as they experienced that ‘awe’. Perhaps the US planners (being Christian) imagined a sort of ‘rapture’ for their victims. And in keeping with the official ‘saintly’ image of Obama, his weekly drone assassinations (some 400 ‘deadly’ attacks during his 8-years in office) – some taking out entire wedding parties or even funeral processions, were simply blanked out from Western news media.. Thousands if not tens of thousands of ‘Muslims’ including ‘women and children’ were blown off the face of the earth, their lives cruelly and prematurely ended. The half-million women who marched on Washington DC the day of Trump’s inauguration, condemning his ‘grabbing of womens’ genitals’ though it may only have been ‘locker-room talk’, lamented the loss of Obama, apparently having no clue about Obama’s murders of women and children. As we are living through the return of the ‘Russian threat', though it may only be ‘American propaganda' – actually the inversion of the the American/NATO threat to Russia (since those forces are amassed on Russia's border, not the other way around) – it seems appropriate to remember other ‘murders’ of children on other pretexts. The burning of untold numbers of Vietnamese children with napalm for one, and the unreported dozens of ‘My Lai’ style massacres the US army carried out, following Nobel Peace Prize winner Kissinger’s order to ‘kill anything that moves’, killing old/infirm men, women including pregnant women after raping them, babies...pigs...chickens...anything that moved. Or of the hundreds of thousands of babies born with missing limbs or brains even today, because of JFK’s ‘drenching' of South Vietnam with Monsanto’s Agent Orange, manufactured in good clean, peace-loving Canada. Even though their effects are far more horrible, agonizing and long-lasting than sarin gas, neither napalm nor Agent Orange is called a ‘chemical weapon’, for obvious reasons. Or the thousands of Laotian children killed and at risk from the millions of unexploded US bombs that litter the country. Or on another note, the murder (reported by Miko Peled, son of one of the generals who helped create the state of Israel , but not covered by Western media) – of hundreds or thousands of Gazan children on whom Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu dropped hundreds of tonnes of phosphorus bombs at 11.30 am, the moment when Gazan school-children change shifts, so that the maximum number of them are on the streets. But in these remembrances of murdered ‘children’ one should not forget ‘fathers’ - especially the ‘founding fathers’ of ISIS – including the prosecutable Tony Blair, and his unprosecutable US masters.

CANADA PROCEEDING WITH THE TPP

Huffington Post reports that Canada is proceeding to host talks on the TPP, in an undisclosed location in Toronto, even though the US has apparently withdrawn from it. The location is secret for obvious reasons – because the talks are certain to attract protest from activists and hopefully the public. The 6000 page text of the TPP was drafted by corporate lawyers in secret. No public input was either solicited or allowed. Not even members of Parliaments of the concerned countries had input. This alone should have raised RED FLAGS… But in the corporate-owned news media that dominate the West, these basic facts are not given coverage. Their ‘fake news’ hype continues to call it a ‘trade deal’, in furtherance of ‘free trade’. There is nothing ‘free’ about it except for the principal beneficiaries of the deal – big corporations, who by its terms will put the economies affected (including Canada) into a Corpo-Rat straitjacket. This deal (part of a TRIAD including the European TTIP, and the global TISA) is the resurrection of the hated MAI (Multilateral Agreement on Investment) which was scuttered by strong public protests (Paris and Seattle?). The MAI at least had the decency to label itself what it was – an Investor Rights Agreement – not a ‘trade deal’. By falsely labelling the TPP a ‘trade deal’, both the media and governments are misleading the public. Lowering tariffs is a very tiny part of this deal, which is calculated to squeeze the life out of what little remains of national sovereignty after decades of successful neo-liberalism, or what should be regarded as the economics of fraud and theft. It is designed to maximise the power of big corporations to plunder national resources, destroy environments (land, water, air), and exploit labour by continuing the devastation of unions. If nation-states do not comply with corporate demands, they will be on the hook for massive damage claims for lost future profits that the concerned corporations will claim, and which will be adjudged not by national courts, but by private arbitration panels made up of the same corporate lawyers who principally drafted the near-6000 page text, kept secret from the public (except where pieces and fragments have been made public by the courage of Wikileaks) and even members of Parliaments. As one tiny example, the town of Erin voted recently on a proposal to slightly raise the infinitesmal price it charges Nestle for water which the company sells at huge profits to the public. Such liquidation of resources has been happening all over the US, as reported by Mark Zepezauer in his book 'Take the Rich off Welfare'. This is a damning piece of work by the Canadian government, to proceed with the TPP instead of embracing (warmly) the opportunity to smash it given by Donald Trump's executive order. Blame must also be assigned to activists on the left who have relentlessly attacked Trump for issues of political correctness, while ignoring the three areas of positive possibility offered by him: improved relations with Russia and the dialling-down of the awesome danger of a terminal war, the promise to retract trillions of dollars of expenditure on never-ending war-crimes abroad, and to kill the dangerous TPP. The first possibility has already been smashed by the ‘Deep State’ with its successful (and largely fraudulent) claims of Russian hacking; the US is the biggest hacker of the entire planet’s population as revealed by Snowden, has the biggest cyberwarfare budget, and a history of destroying democracy around the planet, and within its own borders with Citizens United. (The Democratic Party itself sabotaged the chances of Bernie Sanders in favour of Hillary Clinton)…The ouster of Flynn for essentially engaging in what used to be considered diplomacy – talking to a foreign government - has been a major step. This led naturally to the killing of the second possibility which also was a big threat to the war-mongering Deep State, and the massive weapons industry. That leaves the TPP. Truly an uninformed public needs to awake and protest this serious threat to their economic interest….and hopefully lead to the crumbling of the related TTIP and TISA as well.

THE ROOTS OF ISLAMOPHOBIA

THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ISLAMOPHOBIA Since the election of Donald Trump to the White House, and his recruitment of several extremists in his cabinet and advisers, there has been a sharp rise in racist temperament especially against Muslims, and now we have had the murderous attack on mosques in Canada. The Canadian government – unlike the US government in similar cases such as the 2012 mass-murder in a Sikh temple in Wisconsin – labeled the attack(s) as a ‘terrorist’ one, even though the perpetrators were not Muslim. In the US, terrorism is whatever the government calls it, and tends to focus on ‘radical Islam’. So when white men create carnage and terror with automatic weapons in public places like cinemas (for example), or black churches, that is not ‘terrorism’, because the interests of powerful lobbies like the NRA are at stake. In reports and the funeral ceremony in Montreal yesterday, references were made to social media influencing the perpetrators, and inflaming their ‘ignorance’. But the main source of Islamophobia remains strangely unidentified. Put it simply, it is the major Western news media, which takes it lead from the US, ‘echoing’ the US line. The worst attack attributed to Muslims is 9/11, which killed less than 3000 people. Hundreds of millions of American and non-American citizens remain skeptical about the 9/11 Commission report. All manner of plausible theories abound on the internet; from claims that Mossad agents lined the World Trade Towers with demolition bombs (supported by the collapse of Building 7 which was not hit by a plane), to others that the crater in the Pentagon was not consistent with a 747 airliner hitting it, or that airliners were hijacked but not used in the actual attacks and so on. But they are dismissed as ‘conspiracy theories’, or as they are now called, ‘fake news’. But who has been the greatest disseminator of fake news, if not the major Western news media? Long before Trump ran for office, the major Western news media has been presenting a ‘fake’ perspective on ‘Islamic’ terrorism. The greatest war-crime of the 21st century – the invasion of Iraq – was carried out with major support for it by Western reporters and editors. The reports of cumulatively hundreds of thousands of Iraqis killed and millions turned into refugees, are rarely mentioned. Similarly, the hundreds of thousands destroyed in Afghanistan, done willfully to force the Taliban to hand over Osama bin Laden, or similar numbers of casualties and refugees created by the West’s destruction of Libya and Syria are rarely mentioned in ‘official news’. These are all ‘Muslim’ victims; literally millions of them. And the perpetrators are Western countries led by the US, which no one bothers to say is the world’s leading ‘SuperPredator’ nation. That it also considers itself a ‘Christian’ country is mind-boggling. ‘No man can have 2 Masters.. it is either God or Mammon’. Yet the world’s leading Mammon-worshipping country is able to pretend in broad daylight that it is a Christian country, while murdering millions of Muslims and non-Muslims with invasions, terror bombings, and black ops (to name a few methods) to maximize its ownership of Mammon, while successfully portraying itself as the victim of 'radical Islam',which it calls the greatest threat to civilization. But it is really ‘radical Christianity’ which is, and has been for centuries, the greatest threat to the planet, now literally threatening its existence with climate change and nuclear holocaust. ‘Capitalism’ is merely the latest incarnation, earlier ones being ‘white man’s burden’, ‘mission civilisatrice’, and ‘Manifest Destiny’. The worst elements of colonialism and imperialism – the work of ‘Christian’ countries – remain alive through open and secret wars in some 138 countries. But we are rarely told the ‘true’ facts. And this infects the seemingly best of our journalists as well. After the Paris attacks which killed 129 some while ago, Western journalists including Canada’s Peter Mansbridge went to Paris to pontificate about the ‘horrors’ of those attacks, and the earlier ones on Charlie Hebdo. Has Mansbridge or any Canadian news anchor, ever used the word ‘horrors’ to describe Western bombing of Muslim countries? If 129 dead is a horror, what words would suffice to describe the murder of hundreds of thousands, or of millions? ‘The horror, the horror’, of a sick, diseased Western civilization which has murdered millions of Muslims, not in a ‘clash of civilizations’, but because the biggest oil reserves on the planet are located in Muslim countries, but successfully pretends it is under attack from ‘radical Islam’. The so-called terrorist attacks by misguided Islamists outraged by the monstrous crimes committed against their countries are but pitiful pin-pricks of retaliation compared to the Western crimes which provoked them. Sadly, so long as the West continues its depradations, so will the pin-pricks continue. The Western news media understand their role – to focus on the pin-pricks, while rarely mentioning the catastrophes which provoked them, except as noble or well-intentioned mistakes. What is this, if not fanning the flames of Islamophobia? No one asks the relevant questions…for example, was Charlie Hebdo journalistic satire? What is to be gained by portraying the Islamic prophet in demeaning fashion? What has he to do with current events? Why ignore so many far more deserving targets – such as the PIGS on Wall Street who have destroyed the middle class in the West? Or the corporate anus-lickers who wrote Citizens United? Or more significantly – are there Muslim armies in Western countries? Why are Western armies in Muslim countries? Western crimes against Islam go back to the Sykes-Picot agreement and the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, and include the 1953 Iranian coup. In a prime-time discussion with other journalists, Mansbridge referred to ISIS's references to these historical facts as 'propaganda'.... for obvious reasons, to falsify history... and delegitimize Islamic grievances. There is plenty that is ugly and hateful about the words and actions of Trump and his camp. But the roots of Islamophobia lie in American Empire, or as it should be called –‘radical Capitalism’. Trump’s travel ban for Muslims entering the US from 7 countries is being debated. Not debated is the real and terrible plight of Muslim (and other) nations, which have no practical way of banning the travel of American armies, bombs, Navy Seals, and drones. The world remains at the mercy of the SuperPredator nation.
