Pubic option the excuse for no option?

The "option" we need and should be talking about is the "private" option.
The whole, the base should be the public option as in what we really want.
The public option is still only a vague term for a weak cop-out on the universal single payer thang. We have to reverse the context: universal heath care shall include a PRIVATE option for those who are sure they want to pay through the nose to some avaricious health INSURANCE corp for the right to be turned down when they are sick. that will always be their option. let birds of a feather go flock themselves together. the rest of us will have our medicene as we like it: with no denial between us and our doctors (who we can put through medical school for free from now on...if we will simply quit starting wars all over the place.)
To get started:
We could just lower the age qualification for medicare to fetus and be done with it like every other major, not minor, nation of the world. Costa Rica has better health care than we do...Canada seems to, and, for sure, France does, and Sweden, Finland, UK, Germany...but not all are alike. Japan has universal HC. Talk about Africa, China, India, nothing.
But hey! We COULD give every american the same health care as our soldiers IF we pulled them out of our current misadventures. It's the old story of swords vs. syringes, soldiers vs. surgeons.
One thing more: if some believe that private insurance is better, that choice could remain an option.
So why don't we create universal public health care with a private option?

WHY I DID NOT WRITE YOU FOR SO LONG...
[the enemy is complacence. you are a sleep-walking materialist. if you have a warm bed in your place by the Bay you are happy. should your streets run red with blood--and there will be blood--you stay home and play music. to you, music is just another blanket.]
i dropped out. i took acid. i got caught in a terrible snow storm. I moved to Haiti and opened a frozen yogurt stand. jimmy's chimis. it took off. i met some woman on the internet from santa barbara on green singles while lonely there last summer.
she was shocked i had sold my car.
[i was shocked that today Obiwan--you are our only hope--just gave Tibet to China. What do we get? Haiti? Well, let's do a better job: and set it free. Yesterday, Obiwan gave 8 billion more to nuclear energy (what the world needs now.)]
i even told her it was only an experiment. i tried to explain in that in SF, like in other big cities, NEW York, Chicago, people did not have cars as much. because there would be no parking wherever you might go. and if you had a spot you would think twice before leaving it. (i've belonged to Car Share for two years and haven't even used it yet.)
she said she needed her car. she would use it to clear her mind when she got, i dunno, uptight. she would just jump in her car and go for a ride sometimes, way out into the desert and sit on a rock or have beer in some satanist cult bar or coffee shop out at some cat-killer junction Manson family-worshipping shrine...i dunno. and come home refreshed.
i was appalled. this on Green Singles. Car Therapy. really. get a gerbil. a love bird. a monkey.
one puppy can change a life.
what ever happened to: take a walk?!
what do you do when gas hits $4.69 a gallon?
i tried to explain. she was negative. i said bye. see ya, wouldn't wanna be ya...
now i get you. [clean coal.]
you send me all this great stuff. it's a good step. everyone has to pass through the space where you are. you go grrrl! we need spiritual cleansing. the new age oneness. sure.
And i agree with the idea of it. we should adopt haiti. But first we need regulations. day time stop signs--when people are present. like the 15 mph in front of schools.
we don't get to take out the kids whenever we want.
but blinking yellows at night at Sahara Desert crossroads. c'mon. how much conditioning can a driver take? Citizen.
what you offer is warm and fuzzy, BUT, it is not formed into a mission. and probably never will be. There are laws you will need to change: Zoning. you want to grow nutria? LOL you go, grrrl!
right now we got to get out of our cars. we need to put electric turbines on every roof. vertical cylinders, not propellers. they won't let us. PG&E wants to control our every shiver.
Southern (electric) Comp convinced Obama that hope we can believe in includes nuclear energy.
There is resistance. but it's a fact: Mush does the same thing. hot mush under ground can warm, but not heat yer home. Instead we get neo-nazi socialized nuclear owned by rich guys in dark suits with Haitian girls waiting at home. with loan guarantees by us who already guarantee Iraq, as if we need that mess on our table. France sends it's nukulage waste to the North Sea toilette so Norway can eat it via their herring. ohhhhh...
your spiritual group has to pick a material world FIGHT! the time for prayerful conversation is over. let's socialize/super size Wall St. all one bank like Broner's soapbox. A-1 Bank for real instead of bia(bancos in action)/CIA interlocking directorates. how about non-corporate government banks like government airports or steets or post offices or police stations or clinics in Haiti. where you just walk in and nobody gets to know yer name unless you got a bullet hole.
[what is the Blue Cross/Blue Shield/Anthem/Health Net/HCA presence in Haiti at this time?]
zero.
who shows up when you need help? isn't a loan a kind of help?! Help!
how to fight? information. sorry information upsets you. it is not MY information. i simply find it. and dispense it. and i will fictionalize it until it becomes common knowledge. and i will project it onto my stories and poems until it becomes a living mythology. the mythology of the real reality. because there are powerful people lined up against our children and grandchildren and the planet...who ridicule the concept of Gaia. Imagne their organisms!
if saving the planet is too complex, then people. there are people out there whose lives are rotting. save them. but remember...polar bears eat seals adn seal eat herring too just like neo-Vikings...with their prettydaughtersmarried to rich golfers and their bankers.
Holistic means everything. eclectic. Rape and love and art and childbirth and war and peace and murder and hope. obesityand hunger. all of it comes to us side by side. secrets from the public sector. [what up wit dat?] not to talk about any of it is to blinder oneself against all of it. this is the world. "we are the world" the song says. so we have to decide. we are deciduous. but we have to know first...what to cut.
end.
more:
or we'll drop our leaves in summer and try to grow 'em in winter.
i am so tired of being defensive and cautious. i have tried hard to find the courage to speak the truth to power and i'm not going to back down now. so if you can't take it, let me go. nag not. i'm not waiting for drags to let go of their selves anymore. i, too, need a push. i make a very weak Quixote. Dorothy is stronger than I am. i am the Tinman.
so we're just another g'bye and g'luck.
the bad guys will not succumb to wimps. this evolution will be bloody. wee will bathe in it, and piss inthe tub.
do you know, e.g., that our government actually flew Duvalier's haute couture wife out of Haiti to Paris? we backed both papa doc and baby doc Duvalier for twenty years. our marines set the stage for their coming by organizing the nat'l guard, for the 20 years prior to Papa Doc, which became the "ton ton macoute". it's all our fault, because our parents did not notice. it was too dirty and it made them uncomfortable. The Duvaliers were the saddamhussein's of el Caribe. the other half of an island was run by Porfirio Diaz. i remember him. he rode a horse. there was a booze named White Horse. they were friends of ours--the saying, "but he's our dictator." was born here...
and now Haiti is the canary in the coal mine for the whole world. this tiny neighbor: if we cannot save freedom and democracy in Haiti, we can not do it any place.
and that means Malalai Joya is right when she says she'd rather fight for her own democracy than anything we can give to her. no one can impose da-mock-racy. it don't stick like oil does.
so thanks for inspiring me with your head in the sand. you look good that way, speaking through your butt...and hiding from the news. i'm saying it loud and saying it proud.
best i can. the Upper Ten Thousand own all the land and half the peephole.
eat the rich.
end.

rant on:
how about an asset tax? let's replace the noisome nuisance that is the income tax [only the poor pay it anyway] with an asset tax. one that balances the budget year by year. the worse the budget, the more we take from them.

Oblivious.Arrogant.Stupid.
Guaranteed! 8 billion! For a nuke-ku-lar reactor. We'll call it The Kissinger.
Obiwan has no idea of what it takes to make 8 billion dollars. I mean to actually save it up. He should talk to Bill Gates or Soros. Warren Buffett. It must take them at least half a year!
8 billion could pay the entire MLB salary structure and cut ticket prices in half. It could provide chocolate for every Mother in the world this mother's day. sheeesh! 8 BILLION could persuade Ahnold to resign from the Governorship of Caleee-forneeeeya. It could provide stainless steel water bottles for every aerobics class in the world. It would enable us to find a way to ship the nuclear waste to France so they could put it with theirs in the North Sea. It makes fish bigger...and...it would reduce our national debt by 8 billion dollars. I'm thinking this money could put solar energy on 1 million rooftops. Or buy 2 million golf carts. or enough dollar burgers to give every kid in the world about 4 crappy dollar meals. How about 4,000 yachts for cheating hubbies to give to their tormented wives? Or 4 million water buffalos for Viet-nam farmers?
Egads, what a bumpkin! He wants to put it in Georgia!!! The one place that don't need power...they gwine secede anyhew...and should live in the dark, even darker....
Furthermore, later news has arrived: the total cost of the reactor is $54 Billion, not 8, so you can stuff that, Obi. And only 26 Billion has already been guaranteed! 18 by Bush. This is obscene.
54 BN looks like this: 54,000,000,000. One giant wind turbine costs 100,000. divide, = 540,000 Altamont-style windmills. Or, @ 9,000 each, a rooftop wind generator for 6 MILLION homes housing 4-5 people each.
Obiwan said this nuclear reactor would supply 1.4 million people.
For 54 Billion we could have a small roof top vertical wind generator on every house in America from here to Tierra del Fuego. And be freed from global climate change, AND give everyone a break on their power bill. This nuke idea is criminal! Given what we all know is going down...criminal!!!
Beware the Type-A, Straight-A, A-hole!
Please stop this guy! Impeach the Peach Stater, Obie!

Reich:
Reich is part of the Democratic problem (note cap D). To think that we can discuss w/o rancor any serious problem--like global climate change, eg,--with Rip-ugli-boners like Boehner and McKentucky or Imhoff is to insanely run into your garage door head first repeatedly until you bleed to death. "Polite Deliberation" was not killed by the Dems. Obama stubbornly shows us that daily, as he tries to appease his Wall St. masters, and corpo-fascist-campaign financiers with his failure to execute a truth-based presidency. Reich is a wimp for saying it's possible to debate the issues. He's being an effete sycophant in nattering nabob clothing. And to think i would have nominated him for the President's economic team. Ugh. Da Dems can brely debate stuff with themselves...
The whole Dem party has to grow a pair. Talk abouit losing Florida! If we do nothing about burning fossil fuel, Florida will be under real water. And if we do it with nuclear energy, getting it built will take 20 years, it will fail, we shall have no place to put the waste, it will be dnagerous...oh, nevermind...some rich cats will make millions and that's all that matters.
Right? Some things are so obvious we'd have to go back to the dark ages to find common ground with Ripuglicans who will say a snow storm in Baltimore disproves global climate change. Democracy (small d) does not mean compromises about Liberty, Slavery, Civil Rights, or Scientific facts.
It means not shooting them. That's all.

Nukes are not sustainable. Uranium is a semi-precious metal. It is in finite supply. when uranium runs out we will still have to go to wind and solar...like a truly "free" market would do now. And i can hardly stand it waiting for the day we begin to dismantle our real Nukes to supply our reactors. Like that'll happen!
Just go to your window. Open it wide as you can. And scream, "I want my windmill and my electric car! "
And charge it up every night while you sleep.
What power you don't use goes back into the grid for someone's air conditioning. Voila!
Total diversification of power supply. We will ALL become our own power companies. No more Enrons, and with the money we save we can buy our present power grid owners like we shudda done long ago
Next. The banks. We only need one bank for every state. That would be more than we have now. We have six.

Haiti by design.

haiti by design jimmy.mankind@gmail.com © 02-10

Hitler could have done a better job than General Keen (who was miraculously in Haiti the day before the quake of Jan 12)I call for eichmann, goebbels, speer!Please take over Haiti from our evil leaders.I can’t bear to watch my Army doing this.By design.One truckload of food for 1.5 million starving people.Bed sheet tents for 2 million homeless.Torrential rains only days away.1/4 million dead.By design.By DESIGN.By DESIGN!Leveled by god...the poor design was man’s. Ours. America broke it America bought it.Most people would be embarrassed. Our MICpigs like it that way. They’ll build it wrong again! so they can come back and rebuild it again.Occupied from 1915 to 1934. Again in the 50's: Our support for Papa Doc and his Tonton Macoute was support for evil. His son, Baby Doc, continued the oppression and killing. His wife, Miss Haiti in her day, got away before the overthrow and it would be fun to go to Paris and ask her out. In 2006 we kidnapped the good guy, Aristide. And took him to Africa. Unbelievable. Why is Obama so quiet about this? Isn't kidnapping other Presidents as crime? But then wew can't look back...oh yeah...our government is seeking crimes in advance, for pre-emptive strikes based on clairvoyant evidence gathered by Thot Police. duh...i fergot.The US, UN, EU, capitalism, DOD, Keen, Gates, Obama are clearing Port-au-Prince (Eric).By design.To send the citizens to concentration camps on the out-skirts. Investments to be made will be simpler if the Port is cleared of poor peephole.While they are dying we are redesigning not only Haiti’s capital but Haiti’s vision of the future. it's our gift to Haiti's future. admittedly the present ain't OUR fault.This will be as part of the new weird order, of course. (Thus we cannot tell anybody ABOUT THE PLAN!) And the Capitalism of Disaster, Death and Development rolls on. [*Indebted to naomi klein.]By design.By design...They die, by design they lose legs due to gangrene, by design they encounter diseases like diarrhea of course, plus flu, sepsis, tuberculosis, hepatitis, malaria, etc.The US MIC has chosen. Wall Street lenders are licking their chops–guaranteed re-construction loans! More bowling alley bases for the big jets. Robot armies. Drones. Killer secret Ops. night raids on night sweat peephole...US builders like Ass-crap, Dine Corp, CACI, blackwater...are hiring!By design.Each disaster brings additional death and displacement, or opportunity without conscience.By design.All the money you and i donated died in the pipeline of ...death...disablement...and displacement.By design...
---o---

some more 911: skeptics abound
The followingn was found while researching the US military prior knowledge about the Haiti Quake. Why Gen. Keen was there waiting. For what? And why the response was still so slow and un-empatheticcally military. these people weere not a vanquished race of terroists (if there could be such a thing), but victims of a "NATURAL" disaster. I do not believe in HAAARP, or AARP for that matter. But some do. And if it worked, our side would use it. No doubt. We got to try everything once...for real. After testing it plenty. At least, that was our old M.O. Now maybe, we just test...anywhere we want.
Now for a little comedy: read and enjoy. Monday, January 11, 2010

911 REVEALED - from The Daily Mail
Tony Rennell, in the UK's Daily Mail, 6th August 2005, wrote:
"Towers that fell 'like a controlled demolition'. Planes that vanished then mysteriously reappeared. And crucial evidence that has been lost for ever. A new book raises bizarre yet deeply unsettling questions about the world’s worst terror atrocity….."
The book being reviewed by Rennell:
9/11 Revealed: Challenging The Facts Behind The War On Terror, by Ian Henshall and Rowland Morgan, published by Robinson at £8.99.
The review:
The plot by America’s military bosses was devilish in both design and intent – to fabricate an outrage against innocent civilians, fool the world and provide a pretext for war.
In the pentagon, a top secret team drew up a plan to simultaneously send up two airliners painted and numbered exactly the same, one from a civil airport in America, the other from a secret military airbase nearby.
The one from the airport would have military personnel on board who had checked in as ordinary passengers under false names. The one from the airbase would be an empty drone, a remote-controlled unmanned aircraft.
Somewhere along their joint flight paths, the passenger-carrying plane would drop below radar height, and disappear, landing back at the airbase and unloading its occupants in secret.
Meanwhile, the drone would have taken up the other plane’s designated course. High over the island of Cuba, it would be exploded in mid-air after broadcasting an international distress call that it was under attack from enemy fighters.
The world would be told that a plane load of blameless American holidaymakers had been deliberately shot down by Fidel Castro’s Communists – and that the US had no choice but to declare war and topple his regime.
This ‘agent provocateur’ plan – code named OPERATION NORTHWOODS and revealed in official archives – dates from 1962 when the Cold War was at its height.
Four decades later, there are a growing number of people who look back at this proto-conspiracy and then to the events of 9/11 and see uncanny and frightening modern parallels.
For Cuba, read Iraq, say these skeptics. For the dummy airliner, read the Twin Towers in New York.
The Northwoods plan is crucial to the argument presented in a hugely provocative – many would say fantastical – yet, at times, genuinely disturbing new analysis of 9/11 by two radical British based journalists, Ian Henshall and Rowland Morgan.
In it, they examine various conspiracy theories that suggest the Bush administration connived in the devastating aerial attacks on New York and Washington four years ago. The reason? To give Bush the excuse he wanted to push ahead with his secret, long-held plane to invade Iraq and capture its oilfields...
Much of evidence the authors present is undeniably compelling – and their arguments sound rather less preposterous in the light of OPERATION NORTHWOODS all those years ago.
That plan was proposed in all seriousness by America’s Joint Chiefs of Staff in a memo to the Secretary of Defence. It got as far as the Attorney General – Robert Kennedy, brother of the president, John Kennedy, before being vetoed.
It is proof, says Henshall and Morgan, that forces at the top of the US Government are capable of conceiving a deadly, devious and fraudulent plan to further their own secret ends – even under such a supposedly ‘nice guy’ president as JFK.
In which case, can the idea of a 9/11 plot by those who serve the deeply mistrusted Bush really be ruled out with total certainty, without at least considering the arguments?
Of course, the official explanation for 9/11 is that Al Qaeda just got lucky that sunny morning in September 2001. The terrorists conducted their attacks without outside help, by this account, and intelligence and other blunders by the US authorities that contributed to their terrible success – for example, ignored warnings that an attack involving aeroplanes was likely, or issuing US entry visas to 19 Islamic fanatics set on murder – were just that: blunders.
This is the White House’s version and it was endorsed by a Washington commission of inquiry under Thomas Kean published last year.
But, according to Henshall and Morgan, the story is full of gaping holes and unanswered questions.
And the most startling question, which remains unresolved, they say, is why the hijackers’ principal target, the two 110-storey towers at the World Trade Centre in New York crumbled so easily. No-one who watched each building suddenly cascade into dust and debris in just 20 seconds will ever forget the slow-motion horror.
But now the question is asked: was it all too pat, too neat?
Though 30 years old, the towers had expressly been built to survive the impact of a Boeing 707, a plane the same size and carrying as much fuel as the ones that struck.
That they collapsed after being hit and fell at such speed was unprecedented in the history of architecture.
It astonished many engineers.
The official explanation is known as the Pancake Effect – steel supports melting in the intense fireball, causing the floors to tumble down on each other.
The problem here is that the heat from the explosions was probably not nearly as great as people tend to assume.
There was indeed a lot of kerosene from the aircraft fuel tanks when flight 11 from Boston hit the North Tower between the 94th and the 98th floors but pictures show that most of this fireballed outwards.
Experts have questioned whether the fire ever got hot enough to melt the buildings’ steel frames.
Oddly, too, original estimates by firefighters after the second plane, Flight 175, hit the South Tower, were that the blaze was containable.
Two firefighters actually reached the crash zone on the 78th floor and a tape exists of them radioing down that just two hoses would be enough to get the fire under control – in which case the situation should have been little different from a ‘normal’ office fire, and no steel tower ever collapsed as the result of such a blaze.
‘The fire wasn’t hot enough to cause a collapse’ Kevin R Ryan, laboratory director at a US underwriting firm specializing in product safety, was sacked from his job last year after questioning the official explanation.
“The buildings should have easily withstood the thermal stress caused by the burning jet fuel”, he said. “If steel did soften or melt, this was certainly not due to jet fuel fires of any kind, let alone the briefly burning fires in those towers. That fact should be of great concern to all Americans.”
Intriguingly, Ryan claimed that his firm had checked and approved the steel used in the towers when they were built. This was later vehemently denied by the bosses who sacked him.
To add to the mystery, the tape of the two firemen was kept secret and when relatives were finally allowed to listen to it, they had to sign strict confidentiality agreements.
If the Pancake Effect theory is wrong, there’s one obvious alternative: that the towers were brought down by the sheer impact of the planes hitting them. But this, according to the skeptics, ignores basic physics. The initial hit on the North Tower, for example, destroyed 33 of the 59 columns in its north face. This meant the damage was asymmetrical, so any resulting collapse would surely have been lopsided. In fact, the building fell evenly.
The TV aerial on the summit sank vertically, in a straight line.
There were other strange anomalies. According to the Kean Commission, when the first plane struck: ‘A jet fuel fireball erupted and shot down a bank of elevators, bursting into numerous lower floors, including the lobby level, and the basement four storeys below ground.’ Unlikely, say Henshall and Morgan.
A film by a French documentary crew, who by chance were following a New York firefighting team that day, shows the first men arriving. The lobby was covered in fine debris and the windows were shattered but there was none of the soot or oily residue that burning jet fuel would have left behind.
Meanwhile down in the basement, a 50-ton hydraulic press was reduced to rubble and a steel and concrete fire door demolished. Witnesses there said the destruction was less like that from a fireball flash and more like that from a bomb.
Some firefighters told reporters that day that they thought there had been bombs in the building – before apparently being silenced by their chiefs.
Atta chose to learn to fly at a Venice Florida airfield long used for CIA operations.
So had Al Qaeda cleverly placed explosives inside the towers as well as attacking them from the air? Or, as conspiracy theorists would have it, had some homegrown agency mined the towers to make sure they fell – but neatly without collapsing over the rest of Manhattan, America’s financial and business heartland?
The authors quote an expert demolition contractor from Pennsylvania, Michael Taylor, who said the fall of the buildings ‘looked like a controlled demolition’.
Another expert, Van Romero, vice-president for research at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, reached the same opinion after studying videos of the disaster, and concluded that ‘explosive devices inside the buildings’ caused them to collapse.
Strangely and without explanation, he recanted that view just ten days after going public with it. Might he possibly have been leaned on?
Even stranger, say Henshall and Morgan, was the collapse of a third building on the World Trade Centre site, a smaller 47-storey block known as WTC7, which was largely ignored by the world’s media.
It had not been hit by a plane yet it, too, mysteriously fell many hours after the Towers had gone. The official explanation for this was that fuel stores caught fire as a result of debris from the burning towers, the building began to bulge in one corner, and after that it was unsalvageable. But remember that, according to Henshall and Morgan, a steel-framed building had never collapsed as a result of a fire before this day. And, again according to the authors, WTC7 appears almost untouched by fire in photographs taken at the time.
The landlord of the World Trade Centre site, Larry Silverstein, explicitly suggested at one point that WTC7 was deliberately demolished. He told a US TV documentary that a decision was taken to ‘pull’ the building rather than risk loss of life, though this was later denied.
Certainly, according to Henshall and Morgan, the building’s fall in seven seconds was just as textbook-tidy and suspicious as the collapse of the Twin Towers. Given that it also housed offices of the US Secret Service, the CIA and the Defence Department, this has led conspiracy theorists to give it a key role in the supposed 9/11 plot – as we will see shortly.
Part of the whole problem, according to Henshall and Morgan, is that vital evidence about what happened was destroyed or muddied in the wake of the atrocity.
One expert said there were bombs inside the towers.

Ground Zero, the base of the towers, was fiercely protected by the authorities – understandably so because it not only contained human remains but a cache of seized drugs held in an FBI office and more than $1 billion of gold from bank vaults in the Buildings. Yet what went on behind all the heavy security?
After most air disasters, the wreckage of the planes is meticulously gathered up and pieced together in search of clues. Extraordinarily, in the course of removing the rubble from the Twin Towers to a nearby landfill site, the 9/11 salvage operation seems to have ‘lost’ four six-ton aircraft engines, besides failing to find the ‘black box’ flight data recorders and cockpit voice recorders from either of the planes.
These data boxes – which could have revealed exactly what happened in the doomed jets – are deliberately designed to withstand heavy impacts and exceptionally high temperatures. It is, according to experts, very rare for them not to be recovered after an accident.
Unfortunately, according Henshall and Morgan, there was a singular lack of official zeal even to establish the very basic fact that the aircraft that hit the Twin Towers were the same as those that took off from Boston.
Perhaps, with almost the entire world watching the attacks on TV, it hardly seemed necessary to prove the glaringly obvious. But this failure to follow standard procedures for accident investigation once again gave encouragement to the conspiracy theorists.
And then there was the oddity of the single passport. The black boxes may have been destroyed and steel girders melted – yet somehow one of the hijackers’ passports avoided this inferno and was found intact in a nearby street by ‘a passer-by’.
To Henshall and Morgan, that seems absurd, as does the almost instant identification of this person as a hijacker rather than a passenger or a Twin Towers office worker.
Conspiracy theorists suspect the passport was planted to help establish the official story in the first, critical hours after the disaster.
Why didn't fighter planes intercept the hijackers?
Still more unanswered questions surround what happened at the Pentagon in Washington, in the third successful terrorist attack that day.
After taking off from Dulles Airport, Washington, American Airlines Flight 77 dropped off the radar screens for 36 minutes when its transponders sending signals back to air traffic control were switched off.
When the blip reappeared, it was closing on the city but where precisely the aircraft had been for the past half an hour was a mystery. Nor could anyone in air traffic control figure out what it was.
Experienced officials apparently watched its speed and maneuverability and thought it must be a military plane.
Conspiracy theorists maintain this is precisely what it was.
In a repeat of New York, no evidence has ever been produced from the wreckage to prove that it was Flight 77 that hurtled into the side of the Pentagon at 350mph. Photographs show that the hole it made was large enough for the fuselage of a Boeing 757 but not for the wings and the tail, though these supposedly disappeared through the gap and then vapourised.
For the conspiracy theorists, this points to a conclusion that what hit was not Flight 77, and not even a jetliner. Some witnesses claim the plane they say hit the Pentagon was a small one, an eight – or 12-seater, and that it did not have the roar of an airliner but the shrill whine of a fighter plane. One witness is convinced it was a missile.
The authors say the matter could be cleared up by CCTV footage of the crash from a nearby filling station, a hotel and traffic surveillance cameras. There were plenty of Nazis in the USA in the 1930s.
Unfortunately, the FBI seized all three videos within minutes of the crash and they have never been released.
If they were produced, they might lay to rest the theory that what hit the Pentagon was a military drone painted in airline livery and that just before impact it fired a missile to enable a clean entry which would explain the lack of debris. But until they are, the skeptics will continue to have a field day.
In essence, to the extreme conspiracy theorists, what took place on 9/11 was a repeat of the aborted OPERATION NORTHWOODS.
Far from being an attack by Islamic terrorists, they say, the events were a complete hoax, a conjuring trick by the US government in just the same way that Kennedy’s generals wanted to fool the world over Cuba.
Planes were swapped, ‘drones’ slammed into the World Trade Centre (which was mined with explosives as well) and the Pentagon, and the identities of alleged hijackers from the Middle East were stolen or invented to put the blame on Al Qaeda.
Along with the ‘passengers’ who apparently boarded the planes, the ‘suicide hijackers’ are now either dead or living under different identities, just as the pentagon planned fro the military personnel it was going to use back in 1962.
The theory seizes on the fact that, like the plane that apparently hit the Pentagon, both Flight 11 and Flight 175 switched off their transponders on their way to the Twin Towers and disappeared from Radar screens.
According to the skeptics, this gave them time and opportunity to land at the handily located Griffiss Air Force Base, a Pentagon command center which also houses research laboratories into advanced computers and radar.
There, they were supposedly replaced by remote-controlled substitutes.
In technical terms, this is not as far fetched as it sounds.
The US military experimented with unmanned aircraft as far back as World War II and there have been successful jet models since. Well-connected conspirators, so the theory goes, would have little difficulty getting their hands on a system to fit in an airliner. The switch would supposedly be foolproof because, as we have seen, the aircraft in the ruins would not be properly identified.
Then there was the smaller building known as WTC7. It was the obvious point from which to run the New York end of the scam, guiding the planes into their target. Afterwards, of course, the evidence had to be destroyed, hence its demolition... Bologna 1980 reportedly showed that agents of the CIA and NATO were prepared to kill innocent civilians.
An operation of such intricacy and complexity would require the co-operation – and the silence until death – of thousands of people. Everything we have read about the victims on the planes, and their heartbroken relatives, would be a carefully constructed sham...
Why ... were air traffic controllers so slow to report suspected hijackings to the military that day in breach of standard procedures, with the result that fighter planes arrived too late to intercept?
Flight controllers in four separate incidents were unaccountably slow to realize that something was wrong and alert the military authorities.
Even after one plane was definitely known to have been hijacked, they failed to respond promptly when others went missing. The air force scrambled from the wrong base. For some reason, too, when fighter planes eventually were scrambled to New York, they were from an airbase 150 miles away, rather than the much closer one in New Jersey. The Twin Towers were ablaze before they got there.
All the while the local TV channels were smoothly getting eye-in-the-sky helicopters into the air over the World Trade Centre. In the words of the authors: “Their routine mobilizations stand in stark contrast to the apparent impotence and indecisiveness of the $350-billion-a-year US military. Yet for all the shortcomings of the Federal Aviation Authority and the US Air Force that day, no-one was ever fired or reprimanded.
One explanation for this paralysis is that there was, as fate would have it, an air defence exercise going on in US airspace that same day, codenamed Vigilant Guardian. The air traffic controllers were confused by this, thinking the planes disappearing from their screens might be part of the exercise.
Coincidence? No say the 9/11 sceptics. This was exactly the sort of smokescreen operation that anyone wanting to make life easier for the hijackers would launch to paralyse any authorities that might get in the way. When the first evidence came that hijackings were taking place, traffic control officials wasted valuable time wondering whether or not this was part of the Vigilant Guardian exercise. Suck a smokescreen fits well with two types of government-inspired plot postulated by 9/11 sceptics – popularly known as ‘LIHOP’ and ‘MIHOP’. Operation Gladio was CIA-NATO terrorism in Europe.
‘LIHOP’ – ‘Let It Happen On Purpose’ – holds that since the turn of the new century, radical right-wingers in Washington (the so-called neo-cons) had been keen to get a US military presence in the Middle East oilfields and were also desperate to do something about Al Qaeda, which had been targeting US interests overseas.When evidence came in of an impending terrorist attack, they decided to ignore it. They intended that it should succeed. It would act at the very least as a ‘wake-up’ call to their apathetic fellow countrymen and at best as an excuse for war. In the much the same way, some historians believe, President Roosevelt knew in advance from broken codes about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941 – but let it happen, at the cost of 2,400 lives, because he wanted an excuse to join World War II.
‘MIHOP” takes a step on from this – ‘Make it Happen On Purpose’. This theory has the same motivation but the active involvement of US agents. Planted in Al Qaeda, they helped organize the plot, or at the very least cleared a path for the hijackers.These agents may even have tried to keep down casualty figures, which some think were suspiciously small in the circumstances.
The plane that hit the Pentagon was seen to swerve at the last minute and hit an area of the building that was largely unoccupied – and which had just been fitted with reinforced external walls and blast-resistant windows.
A crash into the other side would have killed and maimed many thousands instead of just 125.
In New York, too, more than 50,000 inhabitants of the Towers were targeted but just 2,600 killed – not least because of the orderly way in which the buildings collapsed, after most of the occupants had been evacuated. Was this an example of a ‘managed’ atrocity? According to Le Figaro and French radio, Osama stayed in an American hospital in Dubai just before 9 11.
For most observers, the idea of US involvement in the attacks still strains credulity beyond breaking point. Yet that catalogue of unanswered questions remains troubling.Some are very basic.
How, for example, did the hijackers manage to slip past airport security with weapons?...
How did the passengers make those phone calls?
Another problem here is those very phone calls from the planes. Experts in Henshall and Morgan’s book say it is all but impossible to make a mobile phone call above 8,000 feet – let alone four times that altitude, as the jet passengers are alleged to have done.
So how were these calls on which so much of the 9/11 narrative has been built ever made? Could they possibly have been invented?
The authors write: ‘Few issues cause as much controversy amongst 9/11 sceptics as these, not least because they were cited – by Tony Blair among others – as eyewitness reports and proof positive the official narrative was true.’
Doubts are even raised over the gung-ho story of Flight 93, the fourth plane in the attacks, which passengers apparently seized back from the hijackers, causing it to crash into a field but miss Washington.The legend of the heroic cockpit-storming, launched to cries of ‘Let’s Roll’, was a product of tapes that have never been authenticated or released to anyone other than the victims’ relatives, who were sworn to secrecy.
Henshall and Morgan say the matter could be cleared up if recordings or billing evidence from phone companies were produced but they never have been.This call for transparency is the thrust of their whole argument. It is time, they say, for a full and truly independent inquiry into 9/11 that will reveal all the facts and silence the rumours.
One thing it could consider would be the anthrax attack on America three weeks after 9/11. Five recipients of contaminated letters died, postal facilities were closed, as were office buildings on Capitol Hill where hundreds of lawmakers and staff were tested and given an antibiotic.
At the time, this was seized on by the Washington power-brokers pressing for action against Iraq. ‘Who but Saddam Hussein could have supplied Arab terrorists with anthrax,’ they asked.

By contrast, skeptics about 9/11 see this as this finishing touch to the grand plot – an attempt to distract attention from any doubts about the atrocities and the lessons to be learned from them.They may have a case. The letters mysteriously stopped and the anthrax spores were identified by scientists as a particular strain stemming only from the government’s own labs in Maryland.
But by then the scare had shut down congress at a crucial time, when questions about 9/11 were beginning to surface, and helped deepen the mood of fear and paranoia among ordinary Americans.It was those fears, say the skeptics, that Bush exploited to get his way on Iraq. Had he plotted it that way all along?
Henshall and Morgan raise enough awkward points to make it a thought that cannot simply be laughed out of court.
After all, Bush and Blair, took us to war assuring us that ‘the Iraq regime continues to possess some of the most lethal weapons ever devised’. Yet those weapons of mass destruction have not been found and many doubt they existed.
With public trust one of the major casualties of the war, can any of us be absolutely sure we have not been caught up in a lie and perhaps a bigger one even than we ever though possible?..
Henshall and Morgan ... have certainly left a whiff of something sinister in the air.

Pt I triptych-tockin’ walkin’ through the woods:
trees talk © 1-10-10 jimmy.mankind@gmail.com

no. you cannot hear them with your traffic jam eyes and radio blurb ears.You can sit there for hours and not hear any rock and roll.But they would inform you.They could warn you, bless you with their grace and wisdom. Cry out.Love.[What else do you know that grows better when you piss on it?]In the absence of hatred Nature does not know hatred until Man brings it.Trees need help-mates–trees are not individualistic. Ayn Rand wouldhate the tree philosophy that informs tree culture.She’d sneer it was communitarianism on her kindest day.When the wind blows–a shriek–is it tree terror? No? Then what? Wait.I have. Oh, beat slowly my hasty, pounding heart! Creeeeeeee-eeak!I have no idea what is being said. I look around. Some birds fly out and in,tickling the branches.Wind. Now. It becomes a chorus of creaks and shrieks and rustlings as branches greet above me with strokes and caresses, reviewing alliances and liaisons of root-level import–across overhead chasms. The soil knows. It tries to help, inspired by browning leaves, but becomes annoyed:all this constant chatter from it’s myriad lovers, nurturers, and sucklings.Birds babbling incessantly stacked like wallflowers in from their dances in the winds they did not make. They talk too fast for the stolid home-maker trees.They are busy-bodied back-scratchers in the hierarchy–seed and pollen-spreaders, helping to build up the tolerant soil. A floating leaf slaps softly against my face–speaking volumes. I fall on my butt in the grass and begin to cry. —o—

Pt II: trip tick tockin’ walkin’ through the woods
the soil whisperer© 1-10-10 jimmy.mankind@gmail.com

The soil talks. I have spent many hours waiting for its wisdom to reach my ears. But, no...I think not. I am of the opinion the soil speaks another form of language not necessarily aural. Mixed metaphors, comic riffs in slow time, ricochet responses to questions other than mine, to be sure. Long vowels only, if any. Perhaps one a decade. I already have two words, if you wanna call them that:One is “lush-growth.” With a balance between fungi and bacteria (both would eat all the roots if either wins.) So that war has become a dance...amid the detritus.Two is the expression of loss in sign language. Soil runs off in flood when it is not feeling secure. It needs root hugs all the time–for all the work it does. at least. If not it races off with every rain. And it flies away in wind when not moistened properly. (Mother Earth you know.)Two word-signs for two varieties of loss: soil run, and soil blow. Sign language. I know soil when it says lush or loss. I put my hands into it far as they will go. Under brown dissolving leaves, past white striata, into dark, almost black decay, to roots. White full healthy roots of all sizes down to the almost invisible...gathering, inter-twining, chattering away like children in an underground kindergarten. You hear soil through the fingers. You mostly talk back with water and some sand. N, P, and K. Soy, peanuts, mustard, hemp, and certain rhizomes provide the gutterals and the ooma-mau-maus. Flowers and towers of architectural art carry the tunes and the runes.
Mostly I just listen.

Pt III: trip tick tockin’ walkin’ through the woods
the pictures we paint will be seen by our children’s children © 1-10-10 jimmy.mankind@gmail.com

we hold now no fear.
There is trust.
Heart to breast; breast to heart.
We feel the pulse of another and it is enough to replace all our vaunted vocabulary.
We feel our nest, our cocoon, den, warm shoal, mound, aerie...
We feel the birth of our new world serfdom rising out of our sharecropper past.
We see them practicing in Islam and America Latina, Latvia.
Prisons larger than some deserts are being born (you have to think big to keep up with these Monsters of the Universe.) We are guilty of course–it’s always our fault:
the powerless, the ignorant, the worried starving masses who did not borrow enough
from the food years and got nothing in the bad. We who do not know what to do.
We who listen instead to our chests pounding out the beat of our calming familial loves.
We who sort it out as best we can. If we’re lucky we get to work our shit jobs.
In recent years the births of three new prisons illustrate our foreboding: Haiti, Honduras, Gaza.
Among the 10 poorest places in the world. And small. Like tarry sea gulls in our handlers’ steel-meshed hands. Crushed wards of our leaders’ frozen succor laid low by simple lack of water, bread, bread, blankets, tents.
Fenced in by racism and oceanic sieges. By hatred. By bottom lines we cannot imagine.
Our love,
So fragile.
We hold on.
2010.
We send 80 billion in armaments to Zion to replace what they dumped upon the holy meek, the Arabic ragamuffins of the screaming families of Gaza. New, and faster, tanks, hummers, rockets, spray bombs, white phosphorous for school yards, napalm in case we need to burn the cover off the desert, daisy cutters for the plazas, and Un-depleted uranium bullets by the millions...for the future generations of the gulag with duplicate body parts growing out of their eyes, Let them eat ragamuffin stew!
How many Nobel Peace Prizes does a man need?!
After what they did. With shouts.
And not one box of Wheaties for Gaza.
Their umbilical tunnel is bunker-busted.
After what they did. With slingshots...those stones flying at the Praetorian thugs in all hours. Who could even hang the wash? The homemade bottle rockets. All that broken glass.
We paint pictures with broad brushes in thin blood.,.not our own.
Modern art says: a new kind of prison. Modeled after Eastern Germany. Gulags 300 through XYZ. Stalin’s Siberia. Mao’s hist’ry writ in blood and war.
So we’ll create peace-like serfs: we’ll put their nasty little hands to work. Making un-depleted uranium bullets for us to use upon their future gene pools. In sweet Zionic irony.
–they complain they need werk
Let them make menorahs, for American tourists, uber alles.
The way Haiti used to make baseballs...until they too became whiners.
Achtung! Dumkopfen!
They are so filthy we let them eat roaches. Without water they rarely wash.
Honduras has exportable quantities. Haha.
Bananas! To them to them all. Our t-shirts from here. Running shoes. Run, run...
Comes the ghetto-blaster...
Banana Republic gunboat diplomacy: who says Obama means change? Obama means johnfosterdulles. And more werk for Pinochet’s otherwise unemployable bad boys.
There’ll be no minimum wage on this shift! He’s a flash back to the Big Schtick.
What’s next? Nicaragua? I hear Chiquita wailing, "And I’m here to stay!"
I can hear the desert calling...like a siren’s wail...water! Don’t cha listen to him, Dan:
He's a devil, no, a man, And he coats the burning sand...with Water!
They'll have water-ways below the reach of wooden wheels
pumped by camels led round by children!
Cool, clear water...l'eau pour Haiti...
They can werk the water pumps...pure Saharan water for our cities. For LA elites who tire of ripping Fiji.... For Congressmen dry from huffing up war games.
We’ll send them movies...zeig heil!...for water...of how we disapproved and improved their lives.
Right, Brownie? NOLA was just a practice run for these three new gulags, which are practice for the Rockies or wherever the next hammer falls.
RIGHT, BROWNIE?
Gud werk!

Haiti 2010 jimmy.mankind@gmail.com 1-10
if there could be a manmade earthquake
–like a manmade flood in New Orleans
–or a manmade war in Iraq
–or a manmade evacuation due to hopelessness and fear as in Detroit
–then the misery of Haiti is ours.
The coming series of events that will inform us
will be the slow and steady return of
the Haitian people back to
the poverty and subjugation
to which they’ve become accustomed.
Along with the quiet arrival, I’m sure,
of Blackwater (Xe), Brown & Root, the US Army and Halliburton,
but. no. good.
Only money.
And thusly, the new world Religion of Money. For...
Religion is politics. But you know this. And...
Politics is economics. ["It’s the economy, stupid!"]
While Economics has become Religion.
People die for their Religions, like communism or capitalism. They believe in these material organizing systems because, for 90% of us–or so–survival on this material planet precludes all thoughts of a higher consciousness.
We invoke stresses of competition and war. Our lives become frayed at heart and on the edges of what we think we have earned there is doubt.
Without time to think, Facts don’t count except to reinforce prior imaginations.
So we select facts to support a priori belief systems–that is, our NOT fact-based religions--and those in turn support our faith-based Economics...and we keep on keepin’ on with the same ol’ same ol’ traditional establishmentarian sloggings. Trapped in the races we did not choose but were trained for, we don’t evolve, because we are too grateful for our leisure time to use it for anything but pain relief or sleep. Somehow they force us to seek out the opiates of the masses so we can wear ourselves down rioting at soccer games.
Paxil flows to the sea...the fish can’t hardly swim. The sharks fill up on it. Life becomes dream.
So...we can dream, We already have: we call it imagination.
If we can imagine...a place like Heaven,
why can’t we imagine... Heaven on Earth?
If we can imagine... just being Happy...with whatever we’re worth,
why can’t we imagine... being happy... here in Heaven on Earth?
Shouldn’t we be trying to take Heaven out of our mythology and make it real?
Bring it on down, here, where we can use it?
Maybe that way: Our home, this planet Earth, will be glad to have us on board.
And show us the way to live so we can stay here: the infinite products of out own
imaginings on a finite sphere.
Omtatsat.
