FBI inspector general's report: more evidence of government complicity in 9/11 attacks

FBI inspector general's report: more evidence of government complicity in 9/11 attacks
By Patrick Martin
15 June 2005

A report released June 9 by the FBI's Office of the Inspector General raises new questions about the role of the US government in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The internal FBI study provides several important revelations about how US intelligence agencies ignored and even suppressed warnings in the period leading up to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon that killed nearly 3,000 people.

Press accounts published within hours of the report's release gave a very distorted picture of the document, which runs to more than 400 pages. No follow-up reports, based on a thorough study of the text, have yet appeared in the mass media.

The initial media commentary invariably voiced the now-standard claim that the FBI and CIA were guilty of a "failure to connect the dots," due to bureaucratic lethargy, individual incompetence, inter-agency rivalries, even poorly performing software systems. This presentation of events is utterly unserious.

The US intelligence apparatus is the most powerful instrument for spying in the world, not a group of Keystone Cops. If it ignored warnings and suppressed information, a legitimate presumption is that it did so willfully. The question must be posed: did one or more agencies or high-level officials provide protection for known Al Qaeda associates who ultimately participated in the hijack-bombings?

Comment: A better and more accurate question might be: Did one or more agencies or high-level officials invent or enable Al-Qaeda in order to assign blame for the hijack bombings for which they themselves were responsible?

Exactly who knew what, and at what level of the government, is not yet clear. But the political benefits of 9/11 for the Bush administration are undeniable. It used the terrorist attacks as a lever to swing American public opinion behind a major shift in policy, both foreign and domestic. Without 9/11, it would have been politically impossible for the government to embark on military interventions in Central Asia and the Middle East and launch an unprecedented attack on civil liberties at home.

Comment: The designs for invasion and occupation of the Middle East were drawn up years before 9/11 in the PNAC document, and all they needed was a "new Pearl Harbor" type event in order to implement their plans. Further proof that the September 11th attacks were not only "allowed" by elements within the Bush administration, but likely planned and carried out by the very same cabal...

The Most Dangerous Idea

From equilibrium 4

The Most Dangerous Idea
Dangerous ideas are usually the most difficult to share. I learned this recently in what may seem like a rather innocuous way, but I can come to no other conclusion than that there are definite walls of force, sometimes very subtle, that exist to keep certain very special truths about our world 'contained'. Walls of force that keep certain esoteric knowledge from reaching those who might most benefit, or see it's application realized to a greater potential.

What am I talking about?

This all begins really with an attempt to just place an ad for a book in a thematically related publication. The book is Laura Knight-Jadczyk's 'Secret History of the World' (which I have written about in another blog entry here) and the publication is Parabola Magazine. What the book is about and what the publication is tell the whole story about the subtle walls of force I mention.

A little on the book in case you haven't heard about it yet. 'Secret History of the World and How to Get Out Alive' is a compendium of research and essential truths and ideas concerning Gnosticsm, Sufism, biblical analysis, cyclic catastrophes, history, DNA changes, Alchemy and the Grail Legend. That's for starters. Then, you might say, the book takes a 'quantum leap' into such profoundly specialized areas as 'superluminal communication' and 'hyperdimensional reality'.

Though I can do no justice to either of these areas here, I will just suggest that the first topic concerns the tested process, potential, and results of extended communication with 'intelligences' or 'thought forms' that fall far outside our usual understanding of reality. The common parlance for such a process is called 'channelling'. The second topic, or topic of topics as Don Juan Matus might say , conerns the reality of 'influences' - both malevolent and otherwise, on humanity. These 'influences' come to us from "outer space" and out of our "time". You might even say that the study of hyperdimensionsal reality takes UFOlogy "to the next level" of understanding; giving the esoteric phrase 'food for the moon' a whole new meaning.

Add an unflinching and mystically-minded yet scientific approach to decades of hard research involved in all of the above, and you get 'The Secret History of the World'.

So what might you feel compelled to do if you came across a written work that quite posssibly answered many of the most important questions about your own existance? Would you want to keep it a secret? Or would you want to share it with everyone you knew - who cared to know. And for those you don't know but who may one day benefit - where to advertise such a book?

Well, much of my own introduction to many ideas in 'SHoTW' came from a magazine I used to read called Parabola. A quarterly publication, Parabola chooses a theme for each of it's issues and expounds upon it by choosing relevant passages from established works, as well as new articles and essays. It's called the magazine of 'Myth and Tradition' and it always includes material from numerous cultures and perspectives which serve to explain mankind's 'condition'. A very laudable purpose for any publication; to try and explain mankind's condition using classic works and archtypical, mythical themes to structure them.

When I heard that Mrs. Knight-Jadczyk was in fact looking to advertise her new book, to me one suggestion was obvious. It had to be Parabola. The built-in audience were people reading about many of the same things, having many of the same questions that Mrs. Knight-Jadczyk delves into. Advertising with Parabola would be the perfect match!

Not long after suggesting this, I learned that Laura Knight-Jadczyk went with the idea of placing the ad in Parabola.

Parabola rejected the ad.

Wondering what reasons the folks at the magazine had for their refusal to accept the placement of an ad, I called their advertising representative. After several minutes of polite back and forth I was finally given to understand that the book was considered to be too "sensationalistic" and "not something they wanted to promote". I could only think: if only they knew how much in common their publication had with the 'SHotW', if only how they saw how much of an extension of it it was, if they cared about the material they were publishing why weren't they more open - to an ad for a book with very related subject matter???

After presenting these questions in as non-confrontational a way as possible, the conversation ended. It was apparent that her, or their, minds were made up about it and nothing would change that.

But why?

Media and consumers all accept that there is a tacit understanding about the advertising is published. The shpiel about the ad not necessarily representing the views of the host of the ad is implied, if not outright stated. We've heard it a million times. And it's not as though we were actually requesting the publishing of an article or any part of the material itself. So again I have to wonder, why?

Could it be that merely the ideas suggested in the ad were actually 'dangerous' to Parabola itself somehow? That Parabola, for all it's discussion of things spiritually enlightening would always maintain it's own version of a 'status quo'? And if that's true, how enlightening an approach could the publication have if it seeks to limit knowledge in even this way? This would be like studying the birth of Communism but disallowing research into the secret societies that helped conceive of it, or the Western Capitalists who helped to finance it. There are certain bodies of information and research, and connections made with them, without which the bigger picture is incomplete.

The Questions appear to end at Parabola with 'superluminal communication' and 'hyperdimensional reality'. These ideas threaten, in their eyes (or someone else's) to pull the carpet out from under them. To consider advertising such "sensationalistic" ideas would mean that might have to reconsider everything they do. And why would they want to do a thing like that?

Was requesting to have placed (and paid for) the 'Secret History of the World' book ad with Parabola magazine really asking all that much? Yes, apparently it was.

Time?

When I was child, I had no interest in time.
I do recall not liking it when it was “time to go to bed”.

In my teens, waiting each day for school to end was like watching paint dry.

In my college year’s time changed, a month seemed like week.

In my young “professional” life seasons passed like a month.

In my thirties, years passed like a season.

In my forties, decades are becoming a blur, but now I like it when it’s time to go to bed,
but not when it’s “time to get up”. Is time running out?

The US is considered a baby among countries with regard to its history, yet look what has been accomplished in such a short time, behind the scenes, in this timeline.
