Friends, This post is a bit of a miscellany. First of all, I just want to let you know that I'm having a wonderful time with my family on Kauai. A really relaxing non-activist interlude. Next week on the other hand is action packed. My itinerary is below in case there might be others out there who might want to join in on one or another of the scheduled gatherings. And then, below that, are some very interesting comments on 9-11 that were sent to me by a "Mark from Canada". Perhaps I've corresponded with him before, but I can't recall it at this moment. I like the basic assumptions behind his comments. He accepts that the planes hitting the WTC were a cover for the explosive charges that were planted in the buildings. That's pretty obvious to anyone who's looked seriously at these events, but not many people START their comments from that perspective. He then talks about a faked "coup attempt" against Bush. That makes a lot of sense. How else do you explain the military not rising up against the White House's treasonous acts of 9-11? The top brass are aware that Bush ordered the Air Force to stand down, permitting the WTC disasters. And the top brass are conservative Americans who have no stomach for that kind of fascist activity. They don't like Herr Fuhrer Bush & Rumsfeld any more than you or I do. I haven't seen anything else to corroborate what "Mark" says, but it deserves some serious consideration. all the best rkm cell# in USA: 650 799 6579 -------------------------------------------------------- ITINERARY * Wed 18 * Palo Alto 8 pm - roundtable discussion at Gary's (Palo Alto) (so far: Carol Brouillet, Butler Crittenden, Ray Pestrong, Fred Cook) ------------- * Fri 20 * 7.30 pm - party at Gary's, probably some music later ------------- * Sat 21 * leave San Fran AM, arrive ASHLAND late afternoon small session with folks at "Democracy Inn" ------------- * Sun 22 * leave Ashland AM, arrive EUGENE early afternoon meet folks at Walnut Street Collective ------------- * Mon 23 * leave Eugene AM, arrive P Townsend late afternoon visit with Jim Rough ------------- * Tue 24 * P Townsend events 2-2.30 pm - TV show w/Jim 6 pm - roundtable discussion ------------- * Wed 25 * leave P Townsend AM, arrive EUGENE late afternoon discussion / session at Walnut Street ------------- * Thu 26 * leave Eugene AM, arrive ASHLAND early afternoon larger group of folks involved in Rogue Valley Wisdom Council ------------- * Fri 27 * leave Ashland AM, arrive Sebastapol early evening visit w/friends -------------------------------------------------------- Delivered-To: •••@••.••• Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2004 16:04:20 -0500 (EST) From: Kootenays Justice Centre <•••@••.•••> Subject: A new theory for ponderers of 9/11 To: "Richard K. Moore" <•••@••.•••> Lately I've been thinking about that 9/10 lockdown on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt: news flotsam that came up suddenly, then quickly faded. Suppose the total failure of numerous NE air bases to engage the 9/11 death planes was not precisely a stand-down of that moment, but rather a part of a comprehensive lockdown ordered the day before by Rumsfeld, or Bush himself, in "anticipation" of a coup attempt. This would give the planes the clean shots they enjoyed; it would also explain why no one has yet been investigated, much less concretely blamed, for the apparent failure. Something like this would be a military secret, hence the silence of officers and subordinates who implemented the lockdown regime. Fear of being accused as conspirators would tighten lips all by itself, hence the blatant 9/11 anomalies would go undebated by anyone in the military whose opinion mattered in the least. The plane collisions were, after all, covering nice professional demo jobs on the towers, so the military would have to be removed as a source of curiosity before the fact, lest everything unravel before the national trance of fear and vengeance be securely set. The necessary shaped charges were installed during the seven-week period following the complex's leasing from the Port Authority by Silverstein Properties; during that time the sight of strangers mucking around the service cores would be accepted by the tenants as a normal sign of transition, hence not deeply noted. The military would later be told that the coup attempt had been intuited on the basis of ambiguous decodings, that the collisions were diversionary tactics for treasonous actions that fortunately were sleuthed out and interdicted in time nevertheless, that everybody did the best they knew, feel no guilt, forget it, we've got things properly tightened up from now on. However, thinking in a more broadly historical manner, one can discern possibilities much more intriguing. Can a military with well over 700 foreign bases and a half-century of uninterrupted overseas involvement truly be considered the rigidly obedient monolith one would expect a comparable force to be if kept at home? I presume, quite to the contrary, that the psychology of the rebellious colony could develop "out there" and then spread home with ordinary career rotations. Did not such a psychology originally create the USA? The base-hopping of Air Force One to Barksdale, then Offutt, before the return to Washington may have been a loaded posturing meant exclusively for armed forces consumption, corresponding to shelterings at "fully loyal" command posts that a president would be able to rely upon during the doubts and confusions of a real coup attempt. In other words, the Midwest odyssey of the presidential party on 9/11 was meant to give the military of all ranks certain predictable impressions: combat level personnel would see what the public was intended to see, but the brass, privy to the reality of a variously politicized upper echelon, would see signs of a thwarted coup attempt. Similarly, Bush's appearance in an Air Force flight suit on the Abraham Lincoln might be seen as shabby Late Roman theater by media pundits, but the in-house perception would be a message that the president has re-established full control over his challengers. Never rule out the military as a conscious actor in this ongoing drama of an empire's decay. Insertion of the above theory into subsequent events may serve to immediately illuminate baffling expanses of darkness.
