Hoo Baby It's Crazy Out There

Reading the MUJCA website yesterday I thought "the crazies are really coming out now." MUJCA stands for Muslim, Jewish, Christian Alliance, for 9/11 truth. The site is from Kevin Barrett, a professor from Madison, Wisconsin. He links to the usual 911truth.org, praises the usual Griffin, Sheen, Tarpley, Steven Jones - who also gives a letter of endorsement, includes such illuminaries as Catherine Austin Fitts, Captain Eric May; reccomends Loose Change,and pushes the current "truth" book list, with Barrett's own book a work "in progress."

- By the way, Loose Change, "began when a star-struck teenager met James Gandolfini, who suggested Dylan Avery make his own movies. Inspired by what he thought was an original story idea, Avery began writing about three conspiracy theorists who believed the government planned 9/11. (Original? even the dullest blokes at Dolly's Diner talked about an inside job). Avery's plot line was 9/11 was to panic Americans into exchanging freedom for safety, etc.. “It was completely fictional,” Avery says. Avery believed the 9/11 Commission’s report and thought he just had a good story. Fiction evolved into fact when “I began to research the facts for my story," says Avery. Fact truly was stranger than fiction, for Avery, and a documentary was born. "I was making the video for fun,” says Dylan, and “I released it on the Internet on a whim." He had no intention of screening it at theatres, of selling or distributing it. – Sure you didn't Dylan. Gandolfini was just advising you to peckerwood around with movie making while waiting to outgrow your star-struck teenhood. The young narrator recites history, rumor, theory, some facts, edits in Hunter Thompson and others, tells us the speed, height, and logistics of the 9/11 planes, and that no plane hit the pentagon, etc. Avery uses the Michael Moore School of emotional docudrama and should be titled Loose Truth. Or "Send Dylan All Your Loose Change."
- It is Hollywood folks. Hollywood. Whether Moore, Avery, or Oliver Stone, it's Hollywood. Movies based on factual "tidbits" will not move masses.

- MUJCA and friends believe a plane hitting the pentagon is preposterous, that 9/11 is a "gargantuan Satanic lie," and that the "truth revolution" has began, and the "source of this revolution is the courage and intelligence of the people."
- People so intelligent and courageous they believe every film that gives goose bumps, every expert's book, and every scholar who repeats the truth party line will bring a "truth revolution" to the streets. Warm fuzzy spielbergish pablum for those Americans wanting "revolution" but too lazy or too dumbed down to get off their duffs and do one. Give 'em emotionally ominous music scores, flickering screens, and something to discuss for a while.
- MUJCA "truth" is 9/11 was the "big lie … designed to sow hatred between the faiths." Not for oil, Halliburton, Bush cronies, Israel, profit or all the aforementioned? Back to the start a "crusade" theme? Actually, crusade was Bush the Reborn language in the early days of the War on Terror. I suppose MUJCA may be for those sheeple seeking "truth" with just a dash of an interfaith political inquisition.

MUJCA: "It is a revolution from below at every level, even in government itself. Dozens of honest agents and bureaucrats, stymied by their treasonous superiors, have spoken out. Colleen Rowley and the other Minneapolis FBI agents have made it abundantly clear that Dave Frasca, the mole and former head of the FBI’s Radical Fundamentalism Unit, intentionally blocked their most intensive efforts to call attention to the “hijacking plot” before it happened. Yet the traitor and mass-murderer Frasca, who stymied not only the Minneapolis agents, but also the Phoenix FBI agents and others, was promoted after 9/11! The many thousands of honest agents in the FBI, disgusted with their superiors’ complicity in high treason and mass murder, are a key part of our revolution from below, and will surely be dealing with the likes of Frasca one way or another.

It is a revolution from below in journalism as well as government. First it was the complete outsiders, the devil-may-care small-time bloggers, the folks at the very bottom of the journalistic food chain. (Note that some of these ultra-outsider bloggers, such as From the Wilderness and Global Research, have been outperforming the “real journalists” on key issues for years.) The outsider bloggers’ incessant agitation put 9/11 truth on the radar screen of the more respectable bloggers and the occasional honest academic. When the highly respected David Griffin’s The New Pearl Harbor came out, compiling and validating the bloggers’ research, low-level people at C-Span began urging their company to report “the other side of the 9/11 story.” The result was the nationwide broadcast of Griffin’s landmark University of Wisconsin talk 9/11 and American Empire last year. Now it appears that the actual working journalists at CNN have followed their C-Span colleagues away from their billionaire bosses’ fantasy land and back toward reality-based journalism, by giving Charlie Sheen a national platform for truth-speaking."

- Hoo boy. Keep reading. Read the entire MUJCA site. What began reasonably went off the crazy bullshittermeter quicker than any "truth" site I have read to date.

"The 9/11truth revolution from below will overthrow a good part of the American power structure. Billionaires will have their fortunes confiscated and spend the rest of their lives in prison. Most, perhaps all of the current administration will be tried and, presumably, either hanged or given some kind of truth-for-mercy deal. Its supporters throughout the judicial and legislative branches will be forced to resign. The CIA and other covert-op apparatuses will be broken into a million pieces and scattered to the four winds, finishing the job that JFK was unable to start. The media monopoly that enabled the 9/11 cover-up will be shattered into hundreds of fragments as the mother of all trust-busting eras commences. The uniformed military, and especially the Pentagon, will be purged of neocon moles, as the venerable institution of the firing squad is revived. Every last member of Skull and Bones, starting with the whole Bush crime family, will be hunted down, jailed, and forced to recite his entire sexual history to his cellmates while lying on the floor of the prison shower. And after the troops have pulled out, Rumsfeld, Perle and Feith will be air-dropped into Fallujah as a demonstration of how an undermanned invasion-of-three can be welcomed by adoring crowds strewing flowers at their feet.

Ultimately, though, the 9/11 truth revolution is not about vengeance—it’s about hope. The story of the triumph of the 9/11 truth movement, against such apparently insurmountable odds, is a story of ordinary people’s heroism, a veritable Frank Capra movie for the information age."

- Billionaires will not have their "fortunes confiscated" nor will "perhaps all of the current administration be tried … and hanged …" The CIA will not be "broken into a million pieces" (remember JFK supposedly said that). Nor will the "uniformed military … and Pentagon … be purged … as the firing squad is revived." Every member of Skull and Bones will not be jailed and reciting his sexual history. (WTF is that all about for Barrett? Kinky.)
- As expected the fruitcakes and money grubbers appear like midnight roaches in a ghetto kitchen. In the past one year, now that the green light go-ahead has been okayed by the ruling elite, every son and his mother will shill for "truth" book sales, DVDs, lectures, and 15 minutes. The MUJCA particular statement above falls into the JFK category of theorists who believed JFK survived and was on life support machines in a basement at NSA. None of MUJCA's cast of characters seem smart enough to be CIA, but certainly dumb enough to be manipulated by the CIA.
- Frank Capra made a lot of propaganda film too.
- I repeat, we know the truth, we just keep mucking around with it. Does Barrett and friends really believe we will take to the streets and confiscate billions and hang liars? Sounds like lawless anarchy to me. The only method is our wallet. As I've said before – stop funding the bastards. On an individual basis or with like-minded friends - stop funding the bastards.
- It's about outsmarting the ruling elite. But how? Well, if you fear mobs and/or that robbing billionaires and lynching pols might land you in front of the purge, you could, without even leaving the comfort and privacy of your own home, try these, and get back to me:
- 1. Become a tax protestor (stop funding the bastards).
- 2. Don't vote, scares them that you have caught on.
- 3. Eliminate your debts.
- 4. Turn off the damn TV and a good deal of the internet.
- 5. Boycott, strike (alone or in a group, without fanfare and coverage).
- 6. Quietly let the troops know you will support a stand-down.
- 7. Question why the truthseekers continue to fund "the American power structure."
- 8. The seven suggestions are or will be considered sedition and treason – but the alternative is keep paying, voting, spending, watching, shopping for "truth" - and bury our dead. A real "movement" will not be painless, which is why there probably won't be one.

K/A,

Good post. Good list.

On this end:
1. Haven't paid Fed. inc. tax (legally) for almost 4 yrs.; have withheld telephone tax during most of last 5 yrs.
2. Voted in '04 and didn't respect self in the morning. No mas.
3. Mortgage is the only debt, PTL.
4. Don't watch TV; kids, too (kids' videos only)
5. Trying to cut ties w/system where practical.


Your # 8 is right on. One could add "keep requesting."

Questions:

1. What, specifically, do you mean, "now that the green light go-ahead has been okayed by the ruling elite"?

2. What do you mean by a "stand down?"

3. What do you mean "truthseekers fund the Am. pwr. structure?" Do you mean *are funded by* ?

A Friend

p.s. In some social milieus people did NOT and do NOT talk about an inside job. They (want to) believe the official story.

Friend,
Good to know others out there are doing these things. I too am.

"green light go-ahead has been okayed by the ruling elite" - I believe it likely the sudden widespread publicity for the "truth movement" is another tactic of the ruling class to keep us occupied with the matter whilst they continue on with their plans. I'm writing a longer piece on that now, kind of sort of.

"stand down" - that if the troops lay down arms we the people will support them in that action; can't build the empire if the emperor has no warriors.

truthseekers fund the Am. pwr. structure?" Do you mean *are funded by* ? - I think some of course are funded by - but also making money off the truth movement but affecting little change is more or less supporting the structure they claim to be "outing." Has Sheen or Jones or any of the truth sayers offered any solution? If the solution is simply arrest a few politicians will it stop the war and the corruption? Or just give us a long OJ type circus until we're bored beyond caring.

Fortunately, I've access to a wide circle of people from varying classes, incomes, lifestyles and I find some in each who simply won't consider an inside job. The path of least resistance. And often I'm surprised by the seemingly most clueless yokel who will drawl "ya know that 9/11 was a Bush job and government don't care nuttin' bout us people."

I'm certain class, color, income, lifestyle does not determine a person's intellect. I know some of the dumbest PhDs and smartest junior high dropouts.

Good; I look forward to your elaboration of these things, because my imagination just won't stretch that far yet. I can't picture HOW the "ruling elite" would give a green light to go ahead and publcize the nine-eleven 'truth movement.' And then all the media stories come out. Maybe I have to brush up on how the "Mighty Wurlitzer" works.

Also, the "troops laying down their arms" is WAY beyond my capacity to dream.

And with all due respect, I have to differ with your oft-stated opinions about nine-eleven 'truth tellers.' I believe there is a value to speaking out about nine-eleven, period. Why should we look for "solutions" from Sheen or Jones -- would you put much credence in the prescriptions of a Charlie Sheen? I hope not. I think that sometimes your seeming world-weariness closes you off to good things that people do; they may not be leading the charge on 1600 Penna. Ave. (and at this point no one would follow), but they may be taking some not-insubstantial personal risk.

best, A.Friend

Quick comment - unless the media elite ownership experienced a buyout by progressives it's the same bunch that the left once railed against being the state propaganda machine which has now opened up the 9/11 topic, with the aid of Alex and Charlie. To me it appears the same folks are running the show. The "ruling elite" or TPTB or whatever term.

I believe we will no more know the "truth" of 9/11 than say JFK, MLK, Gulf of Tonkin, Pearl Harbor, or Abe Lincoln for all that matters. And focusing on what deadends seems a waste when energy could be spent on changing the system. I.e. term limits, campaign laws, doing away with PACs/lobbyists, verifiable elections, denying federal contracts to corporations who outsource, not funding wars, etc etc.

Beginning last May there was a palpable change in the air with the media. There was no longer the "orgy of patriotism" on every episode of news or programming.

I'm not saying we don't discuss 9/11, I do often, ... I think there just needs to be a lot of caution used as it could backfire and make a joke of all 9/11 nonbelievers. Folks here in the heartland are extremely skeptical of the government and of salesmen who appear suddenly to carry the "truth" torch.


More later......

Fair enough.

Perhaps I misunderstand, but your premise seems to be that TPTB are a monolithic force with infighting only as serious as "democratic elections."

Or put another way, that TPTB are large enough that they can control all the major media, without any serious dissent or infighting.

I sometimes adopt that premise myself, but I really have no idea whether it's true.

A.F.
p.s. Looking forward to hearing a plausible "stand-down" scenario!

"TPTB are large enough that they can control all the major media."

The major media, where most citizens get their news, is owned by a few. Control is not difficult. News is a small portion, entertainment shapes more views than news.

I don't believe there is dissent in the ruling class, merely a show to give the appearance of differences - they all hold the same porfolios. They may squabble which way to position us but agree on the rape and pillage of the treasury.

I really don't see a "stand-down" of course. But didn't the Tzar's Army stand-down way back when, millions returned home "unofficially" and refused to move, turning their weapons on the nobility?

I'm not sure what a "stand-down" entails, but I do know that a number of US military folks have gone to Iraq, etc., seen corruption, and have refused to go back on grounds that it is a highly immoral situation; it is not protecting freedom, but serving as attack dogs for those with interests, interests which vary widely. As mentioned elsewhere, violence cannot be carried out if no one accepts the orders.
