Here is a Time capsule from the journalism of a previous age, less than ten years ago. In the wake of 9/11, Time Magazine was openly skeptical of the Bush Admin and its case against Osama bin Laden. ‘Since the first demands for evidence, the US government has prepared a laundry list of suitable accusations and diplomatically correct labels to hurl at bin Laden and his terrorist cells. The mysterious ‘proof’ of his guilt has been shared, we’re told with Allied leaders in Europe, as well as with various Pakistani and Afghan (rebel) authorities…

One thing’s for sure, says [Prof Jordan] Paust:

‘This is not a time for the US to clench a secretive fist around ‘proprietary’ information. It will benefit the US to disclose more evidence about the accused than we have in the past.” Try to imagine any mainstream journalist expressing such sentiments today. ‘Conspiracy theorist!’

    Evidence? We don’t need no stinking evidence!

    There is much more to this than meets the eye, sorry, I mean the White House press briefings, feeding the misinformation eagerly sucked up by the Zionist media owners already with three amendments to date. More to come.

    You see, it is estimated that 60% of the world’s ordinary people, you and me, smell a dead rat here, those who are fully aware of the skills of disinformation and who to date, have successfully covered up any honest investigation into 9/11, 10 long years ago, for which bin Laden got the credit. So in those days as now, it is a fair question for Time magazine to ask. No answer then, no answer now

    Whatever emerges as closest to the saleable truth to a gullible world probably following revision by the animators at Disney, it probably will not be anything like we have heard to date. That is why it is interesting to read an article offered so early after the aircraft bombing of two towers after which three fell down.
    Hans Christian Andersen, alive and well in 2001, still thriving in 2011
    Sooner or later, someone will crack and we will also get the real story of the towers. Too many people involved and even under the threat of a quick bullet, the real truth will emerge. It really is a sign of the gullibility of the US people to be cheering in the street, ‘Obama gets Osama’, the end result doing wonders for the desperate state of the flagging respect, sorry popularity of a rhetorical President, a full time stooge for Israel.
    On another matter, but related, the War in Afghanistan. What’s it all about? How does one check it out…
    A suggestion would be ‘following the money’, from the poppy fields in Afghanistan to the streets of every major city in the world, through the US military involvement, the profit splits, the transportation, processing and the ultimate shipping with no hindrances, no stumbling blocks, no military blockades, no burning of crops, US soldiers walking through the poppy fields every day and with a seal of approval from those who count in Afghanistan. Now who would that be?

    One day the real reason for this horrible war will be told, a war for all the wrong reasons but couched in patriotic terms by feckless politicians like Obama and before him the disgraced mass murderer Bush. A war that will never be resolved, never.
    Now with the Bin Laden fiction, the political climate will be promoted to enable a continuation of such activities and with the world’s propensity for being duped, (investigative journalists having all become embedded) allowing such things to happen, year after year.

    Remember, not one acre of poppies has been destroyed. Not one.

    Finally, Kennedy bombed a whole harmless oountry almost out of existence in Laos and Cambodia. Johnson did the same in Vietnam and Bush in Iraq on a lie and now Obama in Afghanistan.

    How can one believe anything that comes from such people. They are all immoral and tarred with the same brush.

    A product of their environment.

    The US Government, always Theater of the Absurd, suddenly has gone in only one change of Administrations, from tragedy to high comedy!

    Neither the direction, production or stagecraft have ever risen above amateurism,though.

    “To date, very little evidence has been made public, for obvious security reasons,….” The “Security Reasons” cited are… there simply is, as Colin Powell has said, none. “Evidence which will not stand up in court, is not evidence. it is hearsay,…”

    “Since the first demands for “evidence,” the U.S. government has busied itself preparing a laundry list of suitable accusations and diplomatically correct labels to hurl at bin Laden and his terrorist cells. The mysterious “proof” of his guilt has been shared, we’re told with Allied leaders in Europe, as well as with various Pakistani and Afghan (rebel) authorities. NATO Secretary General Lord Robertson later characterized a secret U.S. briefing as offering “clear and compelling evidence,” while Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien announced he was “quite satisfied” the information “proves” bin Laden’s involvement.”

    Translated this says that the US Government has, from the beginning, when early on in the planning mode, decided on whom they were going to pin the rap for this one, and created a story for distribution which was intended to persuade, or at least provide an excuse, all of those who needed persuasion or coercion to get in line.

    It worked on foreign moguls, clients, dependent officials, who were and still are vulnerable and subject to US “persuasion” and intimidation for a great many other non-related reasons.

    These secretive and vague accusations and allusions, accompanied with “Trust me” please did not work on the general enlightened and questioning sector of the educated and informed public, particularly when the “story” began to unravel of its own accord because of physical impossibilities, implausibilities, and simple facts which simply did not coincide with the stated “evidence” or went beyond the laws of physical nature to have happened the way they said it did.

    If we are to undo all this “9-11 USG/ CIA Conspiracy” and get the Truth out and on the street, in plain view of the US and the World public, we have to tear down these false screens of “Osama the Terrorist Chief,” (who we are told only communicated through human courier) and his Army of al Qaeda ter’rists” which have been erected to shield and protect the guilty!.
