From Guns and butter july 20, 2011 Graeme MacQueen

Robert Stevens was the first Anthrax victim who worked as a photo editor for a tabloid called The Sun in Boca Rattan, Florida. The wife of the editor in chief of The Sun, Mike Irish, was a real estate agent that found apartments for two of the alleged 911 hijackers. And the alleged leader, Atta, cosigned for the leases.

So these 19 hijackers were in the US for about a year and a half expressing interest in crop dusting planes, taking flight lessons, and one even tried to get a loan from the Department of Agriculture. They are being very upfront and blatant about what they are doing. They make sure they are not forgotten..having a fight with someone..making bizarre threats....etc.

This is a story that was circulated right after 911 that was then trying to tie both the 911 and anthrax group terrorism together...trying to convince the public...that both 911 and anthrax were obviously done by a group of Muslim terrorists, is as follows:

Mohammed Atta supposedly asked for a $650,000 loan in the Spring of 2000...goes to a loan office of Janelle Bryant at the Department of Agriculture, says he's from Afghanistan (he was really from Egypt so easy to check on so why did he use his real name and a fake origin...the origin of where Osama Bin Laden was then known to be?)...he was making himself look very suspect. Says he wants to spray US crops. He acts very belligerent and arrogant saying he really doesn't want to do business with a woman. Then when she says that she could not loan him the money because he was not an American citizen. He says "What would you do if I just come around behind you and cut your throat?" Does this sound like someone who is trying to secretive and covert in order to pull off a big operation like 911. It sounds like he might be planning something but not smart enough to do 911? It sounds like maybe they were planning on, maybe, doing the crop duster thing but I believe, beyond that, they were set up as patsies and did not actually hijack those airliners. Some may have been passengers on those planes but does not mean they actively forced themselves on taking over the plane. They may even not have known that the planes were going to be crashed into the buildings.

I believe the airliners were electronically hijacked and electronically guided to their targets. Some of those Arabs were on the planes..others it is now known...was later wondering why their names were listed as dead hijackers when they were still alive. Then after Atta made that statement Jannelle said "Well, I know karate"...so it sounds like they were joking around. They kept talking amicably. Atta noticed a picture on the wall and Atta said he wanted to buy the picture of Wash DC monuments and took out a big wad of cash. She said "no, the picture was a gift"! Atta said "well, what if someone just destroyed all those monuments in Washington DC ?" Then he starts talking about the World Trade Center saying he'd like to visit it and he asks her if she knew how good the security is. Then he mentions Osama Bin Laden. He said "One day he will be famous".

This was the narrative that was spun early on just after the anthrax attacks...making the hijackers responsible for both the 911 attacks and the anthrax attacks...of course, now we know that the anthrax was not done by Arabs but was an inside job. This may have even been a fabricated story by Janelle...maybe even was put up to it by those who wanted to ensure everyone was convinced that "the hijackers" were responsible for both 911 and the anthrax attacks.

So they tried to spin one on us connecting the anthrax and 911 saying it was a group of hijacker terrorists. Then after it became absolutely clear that it wasn't the Arabs behind the anthrax attacks but an inside job...the spin becomes...that it wasn't a group of terrorists but a lone nut. No one looks at the possibility that it was a cabal or group of inside job terrorists...it is spun as a lone nut. just like Oswald. and others.

So, the pattern is that the authorities tried to spin this as a group conspiracy of TERRORISTS using Muslim subjects. And when it was proven that the anthrax attacks were not done by Muslim Terrorists but by someone not Muslim..but someone who was obviously trying to make look like it was Muslim terrorists...an INSIDE JOB...then it was no longer touted as an act of TERRORISM or that of a GROUP. They then begin coloring it as another act of a lone disguntled crazy. A pattern exists here going back to McVey, Oswald and probably before...Booth? People are much more willing to believe in an organized Muslim TERRORIST organization or a LONE NUT as being responsible for attacks than an INSIDE GROUP or ORGANIZATION....members of our own establishment...our government...businesses...etc.

I call upon my fellow Americans to start lubricating their behinds to ease the shock and awe and the never ending BOHICA DAYS.

People, we are screwed!

I am starting to prepare myself for a debt deal by lubricating my behind. Hopefully, the lubrication will ease the ongoing BOHICA Days that we will experience.

Obama ran his presidential campaign on the slogan "Change we can believe in." Clearly, this is not a radical statement. In fact, it is a slap in the face of those who put forth the unfulfilled promises of the 1960's "revolution". Because of that slogan, I never expeted that Obama would be anything other than conservative - but conservative in the root sense of the word - meaning that he would probably be working to conserve SOMETHING that he thought was worth continuing in America. Exactly what that would be, was never clear. But with respect to Republicans. Republicans would have no power if people didn't elect them. We really do not have to elect them, if we don't want to have them but we do. And I would suggest that this is continuation of the after effects of the Civil War and Reconstruction. Sad to say, but if "promoting the general welfare" - a phrase that comes out of the US Constitution preamble, I think - actually helps people of color at the same time as it helps the general nonwhite population, I believe many white Americans would rather abandon it. I don't know how else to explain people voting for policies that are against their own interest. The PATCO strike under Reagan was interesting. Because it was clear from the beginning that he would oppose the union. But these people (PATCO) thought that Reagan was one of us. They voted him into office. And he disbanded their union.

A Super Secretive Weapon

I am presently doing research on a super secretive weapon. I do not mind people fainting from my breaking wind exploits with only a marinated four bean salad but my hope is to develop a super secretive weapon that will give a knockout punch with one smell. I am doing research on the perfect recipe for such a knockout punch. I am willing to share with you the ingredients for such a weapon. The recipe needs the perfect blend for such a weapon!

Here are the ingredients. You are welcome to do some research as well. The ingredients for the recipe are to make a meal from a marinated four bean salad with marinated Brussels sprouts and broccoli, from Kim Chi, from a homemade marinated red cabbage, and from a homemade lentil soup added. What is important about the lentil soup is that the breaking wind exploits come out like the rattling of a machine gun. In about fifteen seconds two dozen farts can be released from the human body. Lentil soup farts are not as noisy as regular farts. Hopefully, a more silent fart will not draw as much attention to the culprit. Remember, what is needed in this recipe is a perfect blend of the ingredients!

My hope is also to start a third party movement, known as the “Stench Party and to raise a huge stink centering on the conservative crazies and the lunatic politicians for inhumane policies and practices in their treatment of all of God’s children in America and to all the corners of our planet.” Hopefully, members of the Stench Party will piss off the conservative crazies and their bed partners, the lunatic politicians, in Washington, D.C. Maybe at some point most Americans will come to realize how much the conservative crazies and the lunatic politicians have hurt America and Americans.

I may have mentioned these words in previous comments but they are worth repeating. I have said that I pray 24/7, 365 days a year. Yes, you are reading these words correctly. For each breath that I inhale I consider it God’s gift to me and for each breath I exhale it is my way of saying thank you to God for His gift to me.

This is from the Guns and Butter program of July 20, 2011 with Bonnie Falkner interviewing Dr. Graeme MacQueen:

Dr. Graeme MacQueen-taught in the religious studies department in the McMaster University in Ontario for 30 years. In 1981 he became founding director of The Center For Peace Studies at McMaster after which he helped develop the VA program in Peace Studies and oversaw the development of peace building projects in Sri Lanka, Gaza, Croatia, and Afghanistan..then taking early retirement from McMaster. Most of his research has taken place surrounding the events of 911. He currently serves on the board of directors of The International Center For 911 Studies which has secured the release of numerous photographs and videos from the US Government.

The program is mostly about the Anthrax attacks at about that time of 911..which MacQueen says is connected as was originally believed by everyone but they were only in error in that it was not the Muslim Terrorists who did it ....both the anthrax attacks (now known to be an inside job and admitted as such by our government) and the 911 attacks were in fact done by the same people...an inside job. But, I won't get into that here. But a statement was made by MacQueen that I wanted to display here that I believe helps to put things into perspective about who did 911 and the anthrax attacks.

In February of 2001 Dr. MacQueen attended a conference (actually an extended workshop) in Peshawar, Pakistan. This was 7 months before September 11, 2001. The workshop had to do with trying to solve health problems in poor countries. He had been going to these places for this reason since 1995. The workshops were 5 days a week 9 to 5 and 100 Afghans were there chosen in advance...about 30 were former Afghanistan cabinet ministers, others university people, and others. MacQueen and his group were in Peshawar, Pakistan because the US Government discouraged them from going into Afghanistan at that time.

This was at an Afghan University made up of Afghan refugees. So in the workshops, people were generating ideas about what could be done about Afghanistan health problems....and one old bearded Afghan dressed in western clothing, a nice suit, stood up and said "You're coming up with good ideas...but...the US will soon be creating a war in Afghanistan. They want the oil and they also want a permanent base which they intend to build there...so everything we are doing is to no avail."

MacQueen thought that it was not very likely that the US could have cooked up a good reason to invade Afghanistan...why, after the history of foreign invaders failing...most of the world believed that the Soviets had not only done a very unjust thing but a very stupid thing earning a world-wide hatred in invading Afghanistan...so what possible excuse could the US find for invading Afghanistan? Was the US government stupid enough to do the same thing? Other people at the workshop told MacQueen that US forces could already be seen on the ground in Afghanistan. MacQueen just sort of dismissed these remarks because he just didn't believe then that there was any merit to the remarks. Remember, this was about 7 months before 911. MacQueen believes that the man was a well connected man with Pakistani intelligence. And even the Asia Times had printed that the US would be invading Afghanistan sometime in the Summer.

The US needed an excuse to invade Afghanistan to secure a future pipeline through Afghanistan. The Taliban was going to be a problem in that regard and the US engineered a way to do it...and in doing this they also laid a path to scare people out of their freedoms which allowed for the already happening economic collapse.

There is a good article in The Nation concerning the American Legislative Exchange Council explaining how they are using Milton Friedman's call for conservatives to " develop alternatives to existing policies and keep them alive and available with long term goals to downsize government, remove regulations on corporations and make it harder to hold the economically and politically powerful to account." The reason they could get away with it is that the Democrats lack leadership enough to recognize they are in a war and explain to the American public how the only solution to prevent Corporations from completely taking over the government is through the Democrats. What Americans are desperately looking for today is leadership and someone to stand up and fight for them the same way Republicans fight for Corporate America and the wealthy. Democrats can no longer afford the blue dog Democrats who are really Republicans. Only Obama and a few Senators such as Bernie Sanders and Sherrod Brown have taken on the fight to constantly explain to us the real difference between Democrats and Republicans. We need to encourage everyone to call their Democratic Senators and Congressmen and demand they become part of the fight or we will replace them with someone else. If people don't get the message that if the Republicans get control we will see 12% unemployment for the next 20 years, seniors will lose the chance for dignity when they retire and will be required to move in with their children, we will become a Third World Economy, thousands will die due no access to health care, we will fall further behind in the world economy due our children not being properly educated and provided reasonable access to college, minimum wage will become the standard for wages, etc. If people don't wake up and get involved, if minorities and young voters don't show up to vote as occurred in 2010, that is what we will get. The Democrats do a terrible job selling their position versus the Republicans and this is no longer acceptable. If they don't represent us, get rid of them. This is war. We need leadership. We need the average citizen to get off their asses and get involved. It is Corporate America versus the middle classs. Corporate America won't sit on their asses.

Massacheussetts always has an unemployment rate half of the rest of the country's through all the U.S. recessions since the '70s.

We must recognize the dishonest language of the Republicans. They push the agenda of the owners of business not the majority of us who work for someone else. When they say, "We are going to help the working people by letting them keep more of their money." they willfully ignore the fact that those of us who work for someone else don't have any money that doesn't come from the owners of businesses - their employers. It comes in two forms - wages and taxes. What employers don't pay in wages they pay in taxes.

Republicans charecterize benefits and programs for the poor and working people as charitable handouts w hen in fact they are part of their just compensation. Tax policy analyst David Cay Johnstone expressed it well when he exammined the language used to describe the pension cuts and health benefit cuts of Wisconsin stae employees. The Republicans said, "They are going to have to pay more of their own pensions." or, "They are going to have to pay more of their own health benefits." as though they were charitable donations from their employer when, in fact they are part of their compensation, part of their pay. That is like saying, "They are going to have to pay more of their own salary."

Perhaps if you are an owner of a business such a patently absurd statement might seem to make sense. Owners of business do, in fact, pay their own salaries but for someone who works for someone else that is just silliness itself.

Every benefit cut and program cut to the poor is a tax upon them. There should be no such thing as the "working poor". If someone works full time and is poor it means they are grossly underpaid. That difference is going to be made up by foodstamps, Medicaid or some other government program funded by taxes.

Thom i dont see people protesting saying "thats not cool" is going to change any of their hearts, case and point "The battle in Seattle"! Our founding fathers revolted over less then whats going on now! To call it "radical" or "extreamist" to consider a revolution at this point is not right! I wonder what that makes our founding fathers then? The people should not be afraid of their governments the governments should be afraid of their people! When injustice becomes law, rebellion becomes duty! I could go on and on with quotes, but to not stand up and fight back, well we would end up like those Nazis who did not like what was happening at all, but out of some crazy sence of morality or just cowardice they did not fight back against Hitler! With the exeption of a few like "Operation Valkyrie"!

Vote out not just the Republicans but the Republicans who pretend to be Democrats! How much like a Democrat has Obama been? Not very much, that's for sure! We need to Primary him out of the office of the Presidency...and put in a real progressive Democrat. But the problem is...we thought Obama was a progressive Democrat...sure sounded like it when he was campaigning. Maybe we need to impeach Obama!
