Jim Hoffman's response:

Gerard Holmgren - Manufactured terrorism, the truth about 9/11:
members.iinet.net.au/~holmgren/manufactured.html

"...A little research into aviation regulations and historical precedent demonstrates that every one of those planes should have been intercepted by jet fighters before it got anywhere near its crash destination. The failure to launch any intercepts is only explainable by a systematic nation-wide stand down of routine air defence procedures...


"...Project Northwoods does mention having disasters with fake people, and even staging fake funerals for fake people, to create trauma among the populace. People simply have no clue the depths of deception that went on to pull off this trauma conditioning event. If people understood that 911 was pulled off with animated footage created for the many "simulations" staged that day, with a media cover story laid over the top, I think they'd see everything on the nightly news in a different light.

*BALTIMORE IMC*

Use Firefox when reading Baltimore IMC. Their mysterious recent upgrade makes the site less functional; i.e., the caching slows down the newswire.

Their features section updates at a glacial pace. In addition, no feature is ever selected that challenges the propaganda of the State.

Is the editorial committee at Baltimore IMC deliberately trying to discourage local activists from reading and utilizing the site? Are they working in CONJUNCTION with Portland IMC's censors to get people to use Portland's (more closely monitored) site?

*QUOTE*

Stephen Rohde, with a nod to Martin Niemoeller:
buffaloreport.com/021123rohde.html

First they came for the Muslims, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Muslim.

Then they came for the immigrants, detaining them indefinitely solely on the certification of the attorney general, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't an immigrant.

Then they came to eavesdrop on suspects consulting with their attorneys, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a suspect.

Then they came to prosecute noncitizens before secret military commissions, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a noncitizen.

Then they came to enter homes and offices for unannounced "sneak and peak" searches, and I didn't speak up because I had nothing to hide.

Then they came to reinstate Cointelpro and resume the infiltration and surveillance of domestic religious and political groups, and I didn't speak up because I no longer participated in any groups.

Then they came to arrest American citizens and hold them indefinitely without any charges and without access to lawyers, and I didn't speak up because I would never be arrested.

Then they came to institute TIPS (Terrorism Information and Prevention System) recruiting citizens to spy on other citizens and I didn't speak up because I was afraid.

Then they came for anyone who objected to government policy because it only aided the terrorists and gave ammunition to America's enemies, and I didn't speak up ... because I didn't speak up.

Then they came for me, and by that time, no one was left to speak up.


peace,
NJS
