When War is Promoted as a Remedy for Terror: Reflections on the Tenth Anniversary Of 9/11[i]

The report from America’s Commander-In-Chief that bin Laden had been executed by US Navy Seals added a new layer of deception to an extravagant complex of misrepresentations, distortions and subterfuge.

(LETHBRIDGE, Alberta) - On the tenth-anniversary year of the 9/11 debacle, President Obama boasted to the world that his government had murdered in Pakistan Osama bin Laden, who the US president described as “al-Qaeda’s leader and symbol.”

“The death of bin Laden,” Obama declared, “marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al-Qaeda.”

Gearing Up for 911

Bush wanted to be a war president...

(SALEM, Ore.) - Ten years - a minor grade anniversary for a horrendous event that plagues Americans in ways most still can't see.

The Bush administration convinced people everywhere that Arabs were behind the attacks on America when in truth, most Arabs could care less about what happens in the U.S.

9/11: Gordon Duff Discusses New Video of Cruise Missile Attack on Press TV

'Pentagon attacked by a cruise missile not a passenger plane’

(TEHRAN / CINCINNATI Press TV) - Leaked videos of the 9/11 attack against the Pentagon confirm eyewitness accounts that the attack was not carried out by a passenger plane as officially stated but was rather the work of a cruise missile hitting the building from a different angle.

“There were 85 videos; a second video was released yesterday (August 29). Now it hasn’t been carefully vetted but it appears to be quite genuine that clearly shows a cruise missile from another angle hitting the Pentagon,” Gordon Duff, senior editor of Veterans Today, told Press TV’s U.S. Desk on Tuesday.

9/11: A Conspiracy Beyond Theory

Of course the hijackers knew nothing about any plan to fly into buildings like kamikaze pilots on a suicide mission.

(MANAMA, Bahrain) - Let’s say Mossad, Israel’s intelligence deceivers, speaking perfect Arabic and pretending to be Arabs, infiltrated an Al Qaeda cell and hatched a plan to highjack four planes; and that would show everyone how clever Al Qaeda was.<

The biggest political mistake I’ve ever made was to vote for Barack Obama. I should have known that a really great campaign speaker and organizer would probably make an inept president.

Avnery Reveals `The Return of the Generals`

After the Eilat clash Netanyahu sent his forces into action, not waiting for verification as to the source of the attackers.

(CHICAGO) - Uri Avnery, intrepid columnist, ageless Israeli peace activist, and retired IDF soldier, has seen, up close, the actions of every government Israeli voters have put in office since the nation was created.

He is not fooled by the antics, decisions and deceptions of the current Israeli right-wing government. Avnery peers into the soul of the Netanyahu-Lieberman team and reports back to his readers the dark visions he finds there.

Once Upon a Time in Syria

Should the House of Assad fall, I wonder what the resulting Syrian government's relations will be with Lebanon, Hezbollah, and Israel.

(SALEM) - In 1999, we visited Syria as well as Jordan, Israel, and Baalbeck in Lebanon. We arrived in Syria on the eve of the Israeli elections.

The majority of Arabs and Israelis probably agreed that the prospects for peace in the region improved immeasurably with the election of Ehud Barak as Israel's prime minister.

With Wikileaks Dead, New 9/11 Deception Ploy In Motion

Using Clarke, ”Mr. Small Potatoes,” to peddle poor George Tenet as mastermind of the crime of the century, all I can say is “Good luck with that.”

(CINCINNATI ) - Last week, conspiracy buffs were given a magic revelation regarding 9/11. Richard Clarke pointed the finger at former CIA director, George Tenet, declaring the CIA “allowed” the 9/11 hijackers to operate freely. The rationale?

Tenet and the CIA had plans to use “them” in some way, maybe turn them into secret double agents, even triple agents. What’s wrong with this picture?

What has Happened to Veterans Today?

As the 10th anniversary draws closer, the disinformationists are cranking up their propaganda machines to try and divert attention away from the really serious issues.

(BANGKOK, Thailand) - For some time now, Veterans Today has been hosting my videos and a few of my articles, and my relations with them have been cordial, up until a few weeks ago when the notorious James Fetzer suddenly appeared out of nowhere, as a contributor, dredging up the almost-laid-to-rest No-Planes-in-New York theory.

London Riots and the Big Picture

Lamentably enough, British politicians seem to be very enthusiastic about ‘moral interventionism’ in other countries.

(LONDON) - It is astonishing to find that the British press that is so quick to tell us about the ‘true’ nature and motivations behind each mass protest in the Arab world, is somehow intellectually lame in its attempt to grasp their own huge scale riots at home.

Until now, I have failed to see even a single worthy analytical attempt to understand the full meaning or significance of the current violent events.

Rebels Without a Cause in London`s Tahrir Square

Are we going to witness another example of multiculturalism failure, or rather provoked to the point of failure, in yet another European capital?”

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - A lot of pundits and opinion makers held back from rushing into commenting on the rioting that’s been taking place in London and other British main cities over the last few days.

They were overawed by the unbelievably horrifying and unprecedented pictures of the seemingly mindless thuggery, vandalism and theft that were being broadcast live around the globe.
