San Diegans for 9/11 Truth

Friday Oct 7, 2011

Public Viewing of the movie “deceptions.”

First I want to thank everyone for shifting their attention for the next hour to join me as I attempt to share my journey of discovery with you. It is only a glimpse - just a peek down a hole that is as dark and as sinister as anything you can imagine. The more you look the nastier it gets. By controlling the politicians, the political process, the press and the police, a tiny faction of the world’s elite have all but put in place a corporate state.  

I hope you will see that big business is not separate from big government, it is government. Your elected officials have been doing the bidding of their corporate handlers for years. Watch now as their economic empire is truly threatened - see first hand what has been hidden from view and kept secret for years.  Observe how much freedom our civilized world is prepared to give the people – as profit has begun to feed on itself.

JP Morgan and Chase one of the largest banks in the world and heavily influenced if not controlled by two of the most powerful families in this country recently donated 4.6 million to the New York City Police Department. By the way, this bank along with Citigroup (in 2003) agreed to pay more than $300 million to settle investigations into their roles “cooking the books” at Enron.

By keeping us constantly in debt, bribing the politicians, owning media and manipulating what you thought was a public opinion the “banksters” along with their multinational corporate friends are making debt slaves and government dependents out of many of us.

According to Reuters 40 million people are on food stamps and USA Today says 4 million people are on Welfare. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics 14 million people were unemployed in August a figure which does not include millions more who would like to work given the opportunity or millions more underemployed. I could not find the number of students who owe the banks money for college but I am sure that number is in the millions and that the debt is in the billions. According to the Congressional Budget Office 50 million people are collecting social security.

Democrat or Republican it often does not matter. Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld are war criminals. They are directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, the destruction of a country and its culture, the displacement of millions, the extradition and torture of hundreds more plus the elimination of most of our constitutional protections. Have they been brought up on charges? In fact the current administration just reauthorized the Patriot Act with no changes, has given the banks trillions and has expanded the war effort into multiple countries, as if preemptive invasions were not illegal enough now we have regime change.

Are you stupid enough to believe that people are strapping bombs on and blowing themselves and others up because they envy our freedoms and our way of life? Do you really think that over 2.5 million U.S personnel serving in 737 military bases all around the world is not a global empire? Do you really think that multimillion dollar donations to NYPD by the Chase Bank will have no impact on the policing of Wall Street protestors?

Cigarette anyone?

World News According to Corporate Media

Six media conglomerates now control 80% of the print, video, audio and film media in this country. In other words most of what we know, what we perceive and how we form our public opinions are being shaped by these six companies :

GE - now Comcast (NBC), The News Corp (FOX), Disney (ABC), Time Warner (CNN),  

Viacom (Comedy Central) and CBS

Keep us numb and keep us dumb … that is the goal of corporate media, a point that has been underscored by several significant authors. The controlling elite do not want the public to start demanding facts about constant war, banker bailouts, forced austerity and an increasingly suppressive police force. A public that demands real and frequent questions from their representatives, true investigative journalism and openness from their banks, their government and the multinational corporations is not the goal of corporate media. Critical thinking and intellectual challenge would threaten the status quo and that is the last thing that the big boys want.

The Internet is a bastion of free speech like no other and be under no illusion -  it has been targeted by these media moguls and just about every politician and corporate tycoon in America. Why?  Because it allows little people like myself to have an equal voice with the rich and powerful. We can pull up the shade, throw back the curtains and point to the seedier realities of political, governmental and corporate corruption that takes place every day in this country. 

Net Neutrality? On its way out first, with Comcast and NBC and next up is ATT and T-mobile. Internet Censorship ? Not a month goes by that some congressman does not introduce legislation that allows our corporate/government to limit criticism and free speech under the guise of security. McCarthyism is flourishing in America as blacklisted writers are now being replaced by blacklisted websites. A communist under every bed is now a terrorist on every corner. Want to shut someone up and put them away? Call them a terrorist. Right now under current laws accused terrorists can be made to disappear, extradited and tortured with no habeas corpus or due process.

The Patriot Act is a stark example of what this Congress is capable of. Look at how many civil liberties and constitutional protections were washed down the drain with this one. This law, by-the-way, was fully approved and reauthorized with NO changes, by a democratic Congress and signed by Obama. DOJ and Homeland Security recently and wrongfully closed down 84,000 sites with no due process and no prior notification. Copyright infringement with no mention of the Fair Use provisions of the Copyright Act seems to be the latest corporate/governmental ploy in fear mongering.  Bloggers and filmmakers who use the works of others to illustrate a point, criticize, educate and to enhance public awareness for NO profit or financial gain are being put on notice that they are flying in restricted air space and to beware - big brother is watching.

But wait! I am just an activist, a citizen journalist, I mean no one any harm, I am just trying to enhance public awareness, raise the consciousness, inspire the masses to start thinking more critically,  to check out the facts and verify things for themselves. Everything I am doing is perfectly LEGAL. Please let me speak – I am not a domestic terrorist really – just a man who sees through clouds of deception.

Does this mean that free speech is dead?  No, not yet but it is on the ropes.

 By first fanning and then pretending to address the public’s fear of terrorism -  media, our congressional delegation and our college and university professors are addressing their real fear …. loss of money. They all know that openly challenging issues related to 9/11, terrorism and police suppression leads directly to the loss of campaign contributions, advertising dollars, jobs  and/or  tenure, consequently issues, questions, discussions and analysis that desperately needs to be on the radar screen are barely being mentioned. Why? Because the Corporate State is watching and making a list.
