Silence Is Not Acceptable
USS Liberty hero dies without seeing justice |
No presidential statement, no congressional resolution, no mainstream media coverage, no surprise.
June 8 is the 44th anniversary of the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty and as usual there’s a few who remember and care and who try to keep the memory alive. From the less well known Manitq al-Tayr, NTS, and Jody to some more ‘prominent’ bloggers such as Eileen Fleming and Paul Craig Roberts, the word is being told.
A few opinion pieces on the Liberty get buried in the Gannett chain of propaganda such as here and here but no major media front page remembrances are to be found. The Jerusalem Post has an article but they still spin the “it was a mistake” angle and only those with anti-Israel sentiments bring up that poor little Israel would have done such a thing deliberately.
“There are people who are anti-Israel or who are on the other side of the Arab-Israeli conflict and because the United States-Israel relationship is so strong and so good they find very few ways to attack it. This is one of the focal points on which they like to aim when they are attempting to attack and destroy that relationship.”
All I can say is that if telling the truth and expressing historically correct facts about a horrendous false flag attack upon Americans by our false ‘friend’ destroys that relationship, it will be better late than never.
Silence on any subject of importance means complicity. It is not an acceptable option. It is part of our undoing.
“False history gets made all day, any day, the truth of the new is never on the news”
The Script
As with any major movie production, there has to be a script. The actors can wing it at times but to keep the show on target they must sooner or later be given their lines. On 9/11 those who were given the advance script kept popping in and out of the narrative throughout the day.
By 4:00 pm the theme of who was responsible for the attacks was being consolidated and fed to all the major news outlets. Israel’s Shimon Peres (at 5:31 of the below video) was ready with his scripted zombie like statements, setting the stage for the pre-planned wars.
“The only one that can save humanity from this terrible danger is the United States of America.
It is a sophistication of the most evil kind. Only the most evil people can arrive at such sophistication. The measures must be radical as the evil itself.”
Ehud Barak followed up later that night.
As with the BBC, CNN dutifully took the message that was given to them and announced that WTC7 had already collapsed or was collapsing, well before the actual demolition.
The rigged 9/11 Commission didn’t even mention WTC7. The media actors read their lines out of sequence and that was one part that had to be covered up with silence. It was far from the only aspect to be buried.
Judge Napolitano follows up with Geraldo Rivera on the WTC 7 Demolition
Napolitano calls Rivera “one of the most respected journalists in America.”
Rivera says his new open minded outlook on 9/11 is all because he “cares so much.”
Part deux of what appears may be an ongoing Fox and intelligence services psyops. The CIA and Mossad, among others, are gauging the responses to this limited acknowledgment of some basic 9/11 truths. Where this is leading is still speculation. It is not leading to full disclosure of what happened and certainly not to anything linking Israel. Fox and ‘friends’ will see to that.

“Extol Jewish virtue, modern Zionism and the Israeli Defense Forces.”
Anti-Muslim crusaders make millions spreading fear
The Tennessean is just one of many dying main stream propaganda filled newspapers trying to hold on but every now and then they come up with a report that ruffles the feathers of some of the Islamophobia scammers. This time they delve into who is making some big bucks in the anti-muslim fear mongering non-profit/for profit circus.
Of course they don’t go as far as naming some of these groups and individuals jewish or zionist although christian zionism does get a mention. The comments at the article are littered with what we in middle Tennessee are confronted with … ignorance and the holding on to the ‘official ‘ 9/11 tale that “Muslims did it.”
What’s interesting is that USA Today carried this story but has now deleted it along with over 175 comments. Someone with clout didn’t like it.
excerpts:{links added}
Steven Emerson has 3,390,000 reasons to fear Muslims.
That’s how many dollars Emerson’s for-profit company — Washington-based SAE Productions — collected in 2008 for researching alleged ties between American Muslims and overseas terrorism. The payment came from the Investigative Project on Terrorism Foundation, a nonprofit charity Emerson also founded, which solicits money by telling donors they’re in imminent danger from Muslims.
Emerson is a leading member of a multimillion-dollar industry of self-proclaimed experts who spread hate toward Muslims in books and movies, on websites and through speaking appearances.
Gaffney was a key witness in recent hearings in the Rutherford County lawsuit filed by mosque opponents.
He said he paid his own way.
On the stand, the Reagan-era deputy assistant defense secretary accused local mosque leaders of having ties to terrorism, using ties to Middle Eastern universities and politics as evidence. His main source of information was his own report on Shariah law as a threat to America, one he wrote with other self-proclaimed experts.
But, under oath, he admitted he is not an expert in Shariah law.
The list of people on the anti-Islam circuit goes on. IRS filings from 2008 show that Robert Spencer, who runs the Jihadwatch.org blog, earned $132,537 from the David Horowitz Freedom Center, a conservative nonprofit.
Brigitte Tudor {a/k/a Brigitte Gabriel}, who runs the anti-Islam groups ACT! For America and the American Congress for Truth, earned $152,810, while her colleague Guy Rodgers collected $154,900.
Despite what critics call inaccuracies, the anti-Islam message has found traction in Middle Tennessee, with some casually citing it.
Sally Snow hosted {Bill}French’s {runs the Nashville-based, for-profit Center for the Study of Political Islam} speech along with her husband, former Rutherford County Republican Party Chairman Howard Wall. She has been a regular at hearings in a lawsuit aimed at stopping a new Murfreesboro mosque.
One day this month, Snow arrived wearing sunglasses and joked that she was trying to cover up marks on her face.
“Howard’s turned into a Muslim,” she said. “He’s started beating me.”
Some oppose Islam on theological grounds, seeing it as a threat to their Bible Belt culture or, for Christian Zionists, to the state of Israel.
According to that belief, American Christians have a religious duty to protect the state of Israel. When Israel expands, they believe, Muslims in Iran and Iraq will be forced out of their homes to make way. Then the second coming of Jesus can begin.
Laurie Cardoza-Moore, who led opposition to a failed mosque in Brentwood, also is Christian Zionist. Her nonprofit, the Franklin-based Proclaiming Justice to the Nations, exists to drum up support of Israel among Christians.

Who am I shilling for? Sometimes it’s hard to keep straight.
NPR …. Fox …..
What difference does it make as long as they pay me?
NPR News has terminated the contract of longtime news analyst Juan Williams after remarks he made on the Fox News Channel about Muslims.
Williams responded: “Look, Bill, I’m not a bigot. You know the kind of books I’ve written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.”
Serving two opposing propaganda outlets doesn’t work. Williams never had anything worthwhile to say anyway.
He never discusses or questions the real issues. How about this one?

Declassified Senate investigation Files Reveal Clandestine Israeli PR Campaign in America
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 — Declassified files from a Senate investigation into Israeli-funded covert public relations and lobbying activity in the United States were released by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) on July 23rd, 2010. The subpoenaed documents reveal Israel‘s clandestine programs for “cultivation of editors,” the “stimulation and placement of suitable articles in the major consumer magazines” as well as U.S. reporting about sensitive subjects such as the Dimona nuclear weapons facility.
Documents are now available for download from http://IRmep.org/ila/azc include:
Dimona (excerpt): “The nuclear reactor story inspired comment from many sources; editorial writers, columnists, science writers and cartoonists. Most of the press seemed finally to accept the thesis that the reactor was being built for peaceful purposes and not for bombs.” http://www.irmep.org/11-121960AZC.pdf
Content placement and promotion (excerpt): “The Atlantic Monthly in its October issue carried the outstanding Martha Gellhorn piece on the Arab refugees, which made quite an impact around the country. We arranged for the distribution of 10,000 reprints to public opinion molders in all categories… Interested friends are making arrangements with the Atlantic for another reprint of the Gellhorn article to be sent to all 53,000 persons whose names appear in Who’s Who in America…Our Committee is now planning articles for the women’s magazines for the trade and business publications.” http://www.irmep.org/09101961AZC.pdf
Pressure campaigns (excerpt): “It can be said that the press of the nation…has by and large shown sympathy and understanding of Israel‘s position. There are, of course, exceptions, notably the Scripps-Howard chain where we still need to achieve a ‘break-through,’ the Pulliam chain (where some progress has been made) and some locally-owned papers.” http://www.irmep.org/11-121960AZC.pdf
Magazine Committee achievements (excerpt): “We cannot pinpoint all that has already been accomplished by this Committee except to say that it has been responsible for the writing and placement of articles on Israel in some of America’s leading magazines….” http://www.IRmep.org/10301962_AZC.pdf
According to Grant F. Smith, director of IRmep, “It is frightening how easily some in the American news media surrendered to a foreign public relations campaign that spent the 2010 equivalent of $36 million over two years. Time has proven most of the planted content to be misleading, if not dangerous. These historical documents hold many important lessons for Americans who have long needed—but rarely received—straight reporting on key Middle East issues.”
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is the nation’s record keeper. It retains 1%-3% of the most important documents of business conducted by the United States Federal government. The Israel Lobby Archive, http://IRmep.org/ila is a unit of the Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy in Washington.
