    Today’s "Global War on Terrorism" is a modern form of inquisition. It has all the essential ingredients of the French and Spanish inquisitions. 

    Going after " Islamic terrorists", carrying out a Worldwide preemptive war to " protect the Homeland" are used to justify a military agenda. 

    "The Global War on Terrorism" (GWOT) is presented as a "Clash of Civilizations", a war between competing values and religions, when in reality it is an outright war of conquest, guided by strategic and economic objectives.  

    The GWOT is the ideological backbone of the American Empire. It defines US military doctrine, including the preemptive use of nuclear weapons against the "state sponsors" of terrorism. 

    The preemptive "defensive war" doctrine and the "war on terrorism" against Al Qaeda constitute essential building blocks of America’s National Security Strategy as formulated in early 2002. The objective is to present "preemptive military action" –meaning war as an act of "self-defense" against two categories of enemies, "rogue States" and "Islamic terrorists", both of which are said to possess weapons of mass destruction. 

    The logic of the  "outside enemy" and the evildoer, allegedly responsible for American civilian deaths, prevails over common sense. In the inner consciousness of Americans, the attacks of September 11, 2001 justify acts of war and conquest: 

    "As was demonstrated by the losses on September 11, 2001, mass civilian casualties is the specific objective of terrorists and these losses would be exponentially more severe if terrorists acquired and used weapons of mass destruction." (National Security Strategy, White House, Washington, 2002)

    America’s Inquisition

    The legitimacy of the inquisition is not questioned. The "Global War on Terrorism" justifies a mammoth defense budget at the expense not only of health and education, but of virtually every single category of public expenditure. 

    The "Global War on Terrorism" requires "going after" the terrorists, using advanced weapons systems. It upholds a preemptive religious-like crusade against evil, which serves to obscure the real objectives of military action. 

    The lies underlying 9/11 are known and documented. The American people’s acceptance of this crusade against evil is not based on any rational understanding or analysis of the facts.  

    America’s inquisition is used to extend America’s sphere of influence and justify military intervention, as part of an international campaign against "Islamic terrorists". Its ultimate objective, which is never mentioned in press reports,  is territorial conquest and control over strategic resources.  

    The GWOT dogma is enunciated and formulated by Washington’s neoconservative think tanks. It is carried out by the military-intelligence establishment. It is embodied in presidential speeches and press conferences:

    "We’ve been warned there are evil people in this world. We’ve been warned so vividly. … And we’ll be alert. Your government is alert. The governors and mayors are alert that evil folks still lurk out there. As I said yesterday, people have declared war on America and they have made a terrible mistake. … My administration has a job to do and we’re going to do it. We will rid the world of the evil-doers," (George W. Bush, CNN, September 16, 2001)

    The objective of the "Global War on Terrorism" launched in September 2001 is to galvanize public support for a Worldwide campaign against heresy. In the eyes of public opinion, possessing a "just cause" for waging war is central. A war is said to be Just if it is waged on moral, religious or ethical grounds. 

    The Demonization of Muslims and the Battle for Oil

    The US led war in the broader Middle East Central Asian region consists in gaining control over extensive reserves of oil and natural gas. The Anglo-American oil giants also seek to gain control over oil and gas pipeline routes out of the region. (See table and maps below). 

    Muslim countries possess 66 percent of total oil reserves. (Michel Chossudovsky, The "Demonization" of Muslims and the Battle for Oil, Global Research, Jannuary 4, 2007). In contrast, the United States of America has barely 2 percent of total oil reserves. Iraq has five times more oil than the United States. 

    Demonization is applied to an enemy, which possesses more than 60 percent of the world’s oil reserves. "Axis of evil", "rogue States", "failed nations", "Islamic terrorists": demonization and vilification are the ideological pillars of America’s Inquisition. They serve as a casus belli for waging the battle for oil.  

    The Battle for Oil requires the demonization of those who possess the oil. The enemy is characterized as evil, with a view to justifying military action including the mass killing of civilians. (Ibid) 

    Historical Origins of the Inquisition

    The objective is to sustain the illusion that "America is under attack" by Al Qaeda. Under the American inquisition, Washington has a self-proclaimed holy mandate to extirpate Islamic fundamentalism and "spread democracy" throughout the world. 

    "Going after Bin Laden" is part of a consensus. Fear and insecurity prevail over common sense. Despite the evidence, the White House, the State Department, the two Party system, cannot, in the minds of Americans, be held responsible for a criminal act (9/11/) resulting in the deaths of American civilians.

    What we are dealing with is an outright and blind acceptance of the structures of power and political authority.

    In this regard, the American Inquisition as an ideological construct, is, in many regards, similar to the inquisitorial social order prevailing in France and Spain during the Middle Ages. The inquisition, which started in France in the 12th century, was used as a justification for conquest and military intervention. 

    Initially it took the form of a campaign in southern France directed against the Cathars and Waldensians, which challenged the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. The Cathar movement was a religious sect which was protected by the regional feudal order in southern France, against the dominion of the Catholic Church and the French monarchy in Paris. "The Cathars believed they were the true Christians and the Catholic Church was a false church, founded by the devil." 

    In the early 13th Century, "Pope Innocent III declared a crusade against the Cathars" at the behest of the French royal family. The crusade was in fact a war of conquest under the disguise of a campaign against heresy. 

    The Inquisition directed against heresy was intended to consolidate the Monarchy’s territorial control. It provided a pretext to intervene militarily in south and southwestern France, using the authority of the Catholic Church as a façade. 

    The inquisition became part of a political consensus, carried out by the Church’s inquisitors, imposed by the ruling feudal order and supported militarily. Its purpose was to maintain and sustain the social and political order, extend the powers of the central State, subjugate regional powers in France, using the campaign against heresy as "a justification to wage war". Sounds familiar?  

    Today’s Inquisitorial Order 

    Anybody who doubts the legitimacy of the American inquisition (9/11 and the "Global War on Terrorism") is a heretic conspiracy theorist or an accomplice of the terrorists.

    The American Inquisition is part of a Bipartisan Consensus. Both the Democrats and the Republicans support the American Inquisition. 

    "Going after Osama bin Laden" is part of the election platform of both political parties. In fact it is the central component of the election campaign: 

    I [Barack Obama] argued for more resources and more troops to finish the fight against the terrorists who actually attacked us on 9/11, and made clear that we must take out Osama bin Laden and his lieutenants if we have them in our sights (Barack Obama, Acceptance Speech, National Democratic Convention, Denver, August 2008)

    We have dealt a serious blow to al Qaeda in recent years. But they are not defeated, and they’ll strike us again if they can. (John McCain, Acceptance Speech, Republican National Convention, St Paul, September 2008)

    There is an "outside enemy". The Homeland is under attack. Islamic terrorists "threaten our way of life". "We must defend ourselves" preemptively against Osama and his lieutenants. 

    US Northern Command (Northcom), with headquarters at the Petersen Air Force base in Colorado was established in early 2002 to protect America against a terrorist attack. It was presented to public opinion as a response to the 9/11 attacks. The real strategic objectives of Northern Command using sophisticated aero defense weapons including nuclear warheads, are not mentioned.   

    Political Consensus

    The mouthpiece of America’s inquisitorial order is the Western corporate media. 

    People who question the validity of any of these statements or who have doubts about who is behind the 9/11 attacks, are considered to be accomplices of those who threaten the American Homeland. 

    In 1232, Pope Gregory IX set up a system of special religious courts called the inquisition. The Dominican friars were sent out to find and question heretics: 

    "Heresy cannot be destroyed unless heretics are destroyed and … their defenders and [supporters] are destroyed, and this is effected in two ways: … they are converted to the true catholic faith, or … burned. (Henry Charles Lea, A History of the Inquisition of the Middle Ages, p. 535, 1887)

    Those who refused to recant, which means give up their heresy, were burned alive. 

    Today’s Patriot Act, the military courts, the Guantanamo concentration camp, the CIA rendition camps, Abu Ghraib, etc., are part of an advanced inquisitorial system. Terrorist suspects are held incommunicado. They are tortured, tried by military courts and sentenced. They are not given the right to recant. 

    The objective is not to "make the World safer" by putting the terrorists behind bars.

    The show trials of the alleged terrorists perform an important social function. They are an integral part of Pentagon’s disinformation campaign. Quite concretly, they give a real face to the enemy. They sustain the illusion, in the inner consciousness of Americans, that the "Islamic terrorists" constitute a real threat.

    The arrests, trials and sentences of "Islamic terrorists" sustain the legitimacy of America’s Homeland Security State and its inquisitorial legal and law enforcement apparatus. 

    The ultimate objective is to instill in the minds of millions of Americans that the enemy is real and the US Adminstration will protect the lives of its citizens.

    Manufacturing Dissent

    Washington does not silence its antiwar critics. Quite the opposite. The inquisitorial social order allows certain forms of dissent. It is politically correct under a "democracy" to condemn US foreign policy in the strongest terms. 

    What is not allowed is to question the inquisition. 

    Those who oppose the US Administration are not branded as heretics. Many "Progressives", Liberals and Antiwar activists, led by prominent intellectuals, firmly believe that Muslims were behind the 9/11 attacks. "We are against the war, but we support the war on terrorism."  

    The New World Order builds a political and media consensus (i.e. the GWOT) but at the same time it creates and moulds its own opposition. It establishes the limits of dissent. It "manufactures dissent".

    The presidential candidates in the bipartisan race are supported by powerful corporate interests including the oil companies, Wall Street and the defense contractors.

    At the same time, these same corporate interests, through their various foundations (including Ford, Rockefeller, Gates, et al), support and finance a number of Liberal/Progressive organizations and alternative media.  

    9/11 is the cornerstone of the American Inquisition. 

    The lies underlying 9/11 are accepted by the mainstream antiwar movement. 

    US foreign policy is condemned, but the "Global War on Terrorism" is upheld. Wittingly or unwittingly, this endorsement of the GWOT by those who claim to be opposed to the US administration, provides a legitimacy to the inquisitorial order, which underlies the actual practice of US foreign policy. 

    On the other hand, those who have serious doubts regarding the official 9/11 narrative, including the 9/11 Truth Movement, are branded as heretics and nonbelievers.  

    The "Just War" theory

    The "Just War" theory (justum bellum) has a longstanding tradition. It has been used throughout history to uphold the dominant social order and provide a justification for waging war.

    In the case of Afghanistan, 9/11 played a key role in justifying the invasion. The war on Afghanistan was considered a "Just War", waged on humanitarian grounds.

    On September 12, 2001, NATO invoked for the first time in its history "Article 5 of the Washington Treaty – its collective defense clause" declaring the 9/11 attacks on  the World Trade Center (WTC) and the Pentagon "to be an attack against all NATO members." 

    Afghanistan was tagged, without  a shred of evidence and prior to the conduct of an investigation, as the "state sponsor" of the 9/11 attacks. The invasion of Afghanistan in early October 2001 was presented as a counter-terrorism operation directed against the perpetrators of 9/11 and their state sponsors. 

    Trade unions, NGOs and many "progressive" intellectuals endorsed the US-NATO led invasion. The events of 9/11 played a key role in gaining the support of various sectors of American society including the opponents and critics of the Bush adminstration’s foreign policy.  

    The war on Afghanistan was prepared prior to 9/11. War preparations were already in an advanced stage of readiness. The green light to wage war by the US and NATO on Afghanistan was provided within 24 hours of the 9/11 attacks.

    The press reports failed to reveal a fact which is known and acknowledged by military analysts: a major theater war cannot, under any circumstances, be planned and carried out in a matter of 4-5 weeks. 

    9/11 was used as a justification to carry out a "humanitarian war". Known to military analysts, the war on Afghanistan had been planned well in advance of the tragic events of September 11, 2001. 

    The Spanish Inquisition

    In the 14th and 15th centuries, the Inquisition spread to other parts of Europe. In Italy, the inquisition went after nationalist movements in regions like Lombardy in the north, Venice, or Sicily. It was used to suppress these political movements. In northern France and Germany, the inquisition used the pretext of small mystical sects, to intervene politically and militarily. Regional powers including local principalities refused to cooperate with the inquisition. In today’s world, this form of interventionism is carried out by sending in US special forces to "help governments" to combat terrorism. 

    Spain, conquered by Muslims and in part reconquered by Christians in the 13th Century, was "religiously heterogeneous, and a tolerance had developed so Muslims, Christians, and Jews could live together in relative peace." Toward the end of the 15th Century, coinciding with a period of political and territorial consolidation, "Spanish tolerance changed abruptly. Spain saw the rise of a form of inquisition more ruthless and disruptive than anywhere else in Europe." (Bill of Rights in Action)

    The Spanish inquisition was also characterized by a process of building a consensus, of going after the heretics and nonbelievers. The inquisition was used to support the process of territorial consolidation in the Iberian peninsula. The objective was to reinforce the absolute monarchy and the powers of the landed aristocracy against the Muslim and Jewish merchant classes.

    The Spanish Inquisition was executed at the behest of Queen Isabel, Reina Catolica. In 1483, The Reyes Catolicos, Isabel de Castilla and Ferdinando de Aragon, established a Council to direct the Inquisition. Tomas de Torquemada, an advisor to Isabel become the first General Inquisitor. Torquemado had previously preached against the Jewish and Muslim Converts (Conversos). The objective was to repress the upcoming merchant classes. "One country, one ruler, one faith" became the mandate of the General Inquisitor.  

    The pope upheld the inquisition, the hidden agenda was the feudal order and the Spanish led colonial wars. The Spanish inquisition lasted for 300 years. 

    Today in America, the General inquisitor is the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

    The Legal Apparatus

    The inquisition in the Middle Ages would collect accusations: 

    "If two witnesses under oath accused someone of heresy, the accused person would be summoned to appear. opinions, prejudices, rumors, and gossip were all accepted as evidence. the accused was never told the names of the accusers, nor even the exact charges.

    Inquisitors examined the accused in secret. Anyone who refused to confess immediately was assumed to be guilty. Inquisitors were trained only in religion, and they would try to trap the accused with religious questions. For example, an inquisitor might ask, "Do you believe what the holy church believes?"

    "I am a faithful Christian," the fearful suspect might reply.

    "So!" the inquisitor might shout. "We already know you believe in heresies! You’re saying your beliefs are the true Christianity and the church is false!" (Bill of Rights in Action)

    No lawyers were allowed, because it was considered heresy to defend a heretic: 

    "They would torture those who refused to recant. During torture, the religious inquisitors would stand by as witnesses to record confessions or take down the names of other heretics. The government also carried out the final sentence of imprisonment or death.

    Those who recanted immediately might receive a fairly light sentence — saying prayers, fasting, being whipped in public, or making a pilgrimage. Some who recanted were forced to wear a yellow cross of felt sewn on all their clothing. The cross marked them as a former heretic, and many people would stay away from them in fear.

    Many who refused to recant right away were sentenced to prison for life. If they refused to recant at all, the Inquisition turned them over to government authorities to be burned alive. Some inquisitors were so thorough that they went after the dead. If a dead person was accused of heresy, his or her bones could be dug up and burned.

    For most accused heretics, there was no appeal. A few rich or powerful people might beg the pope to change a sentence, but for most of the condemned, the sentence was final. The families of those sent to prison or to the stake lost their property. 

    (Bill of Rights in Action, see also History of the inquisition)

    Today’s legal system in America has all the essential features of an inquisitorial order. Torture is permitted "under certain circumstances", according to an August 2002 Justice Department "legal opinion":

    "if a government employee were to torture a suspect in captivity, ‘he would be doing so in order to prevent further attacks on the United States by the Al Qaeda terrorist network,’ said the memo, from the Justice Department’s office of legal counsel, written in response to a CIA request for legal guidance. It added that arguments centering on "necessity and self-defense could provide justifications that would eliminate any criminal liability" later. (See Washington Post, June 7, 2004)

    "Even if an interrogation method might arguably cross the line drawn in Section and application of the stature was not held to be an unconstitutional infringement of the President’s Commander in Chief authority, we believe that under current circumstances [the war on terrorism] certain justification defenses might be available that would potentially eliminate criminal liability." (Complete August 2, 2002 Justice Department Memorandum in pdf

    Torture

    "The Spanish Inquisition was particularly terrifying because of its inherent characteristics. The accused never knew who their accusers were. Once arrested, the accused heretic’s properties were seized."

    "These properties were then administered at first by the Crown, and later by the General Inquisitor….

    Even if the accused was now a devout Christian, he was tried as severely as possible because of his roots. The accused was also not allowed to have a lawyer or counsel for his defense, and the names of all witnesses were kept secret from him (Jason L. Slade, The Spanish Inquisition August 6, 1996)

    Torture was the order of the day. The accused were not allowed to have a lawyer. 

    The torture methods applied by today’s CIA inquisitors bear a canny resemblance to the torture techniques used by the Inquisitors in the Middle Ages, including the water torment or aselli, commonly referred to in CIA jargon as "water boarding":  

    "Because the trials were for spiritual matters, the Church handled them. However, the punishments were usually very much physical, so they were handled by the state. There were many means of this physical torture for confession. The two most famous or infamous were the strappado or pulley, and the aselli or water torment.(Jason L. Slade, The Spanish Inquisition August 6, 1996)

    Alfred McCoy reports in the regard that the CIA:

    "had often added to their no-touch repertoire physical methods reminiscent of the Inquisition’s trademark tortures — strappado, question de l’eau, "crippling stork," and "masks of mockery." At the CIA’s center near Kabul in 2002, for instance, American interrogators forced prisoners "to stand with their hands chained to the ceiling and their feet shackled," an effect similar to the strappado. Instead of the Inquisition’s iron-framed "crippling stork" to contort the victim’s body, CIA interrogators made their victims assume similar "stress positions" without any external mechanism, aiming again for the psychological effect of self-induced pain… (Alfred McCoy, The Hidden History of CIA Torture: America’s Road to Abu Ghraib, Global Research, December 2004) 

    In Spain in the 16th Century, the inquisition was accepted. It was a consensus. The population was led to believe that it was a good thing and that torture "served to purify society". 

    "A bishop came out and shouted out the names of the condemned. then the heretics were led out, wearing black robes decorated with red demons and flames. officials of the government tied them to the stake.

    "do you give up your heresy against the holy church?" a priest would challenge.

    anyone who repented would be strangled to death before the fires were lit. most, however, stood silent or defiant. the fires were lit, and the square echoed with the screams of the heretics and cheers from the crowd." (quoted in Bill of Rights in Action, op cit)

    Anybody who dared to question the validity of this "war on terrorism" was himself branded a terrorist and subjected to the anti-terrorist laws, which at the time, in Spain, was death.  

    In today’s inquisitorial environment, most people are skeptical regarding the official 9/11 narrative, but nobody dares question the validity of the "war on terrorism". 

    "These are bad people, and we must go after them, take them out." The discourse is almost the same. 

    The ultimate objective is to subdue the citizens, totally depoliticize social life in America, prevent people from thinking and conceptualizing, from analyzing facts and challenging the legitimacy of the inquisitorial social order which rules America.

    The Big Lie becomes the Truth. Realities are turned upside down. 

    War becomes peace, a worthwhile "humanitarian undertaking",

    Peaceful dissent becomes heresy. 

    The objective is to create an atmosphere of fear and insecurity, with a view to upholding the New World Order.

    In the words of Monthy Python: 

    "NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! 

    Our chief weapon is surprise…surprise and fear…fear and surprise…. 

    Our two weapons are fear and surprise…and ruthless efficiency…. 

    Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency…and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope…. 

    Our *four*…no… *Amongst* our weapons…. Amongst our weaponry… are such elements as fear, surprise…. 

    I’ll come in again." (Monthy Python, The Spanish Inquisition)

    How to reverse the tide?

    Undermine the Inquisition;

    Reveal the lies behind 9/11;

    Break the consensus;

    Reveal the Crimes committed by those in High Office;

    Unseat the inquisitors:  

    "Millions of people have been misled regarding the causes and consequences of September 11.

    Across the land, the image of an "outside enemy" is instilled in the consciousness of Americans. Al Qaeda is threatening America and the world. The repeal of democracy under the Patriot legislation is portrayed as a means to providing "domestic security" and upholding civil liberties.

    When people across the US and around the World find out that Al Qaeda is not an outside enemy but a creation of US foreign policy and the CIA, the legitimacy of the bipartisan war agenda will tumble like a deck of cards… (Michel Chossudovsky, America’s "War on Terrorism", Global Research 2005)

      This is one of the best pieces I have recently read. Positively brilliant to equate the US with the Spanish Inquisition. The analogies are off the charts. People should print this out and read it and pass it on. Anyone who has studied the Inquisitions can see the connections. I don’t think pescado read it.

      Great article, reminds me to start making plans for when they turn this “just war” over to the justified ones of Jesus. Matt. 24 clearly tells us we will be persecuted before any “are taken” the rapture is bunk, God is not a respector of persons. no certain sect of people are going to be spared from anything. the true christians will either be killed for not taking the mark or hiding somewhere very secure. Christians i ask you this: ARE YOU READY TO DIE FOR THE ONE WHO DIED FOR YOU? JESUS. If not, hide and the eternal judge will do His thing.

George Washington would of lined you up and had you shot, for lowering troop moral, and trying to advocate abandonment. Real problems need real solutions, you stand in the corner and wait for the man in the clouds, meanwhile I’ll be trying to reclaim my individual rights, liberty, and a return to a thriving Republic, with everything I got.

      Quote: “Under the American inquisition, Washington has a self-proclaimed holy mandate to extirpate Islamic fundamentalism and “spread democracy” throughout the world.”

      The use of the word “extirpate” here is very telling…an obscure word, to be sure, but is EXACTLY the word used in the Jesuit Extreme Oath of Induction to describe the elimination of heretics. I believe it is used here as if to say, “If a jesuit is reading this, just wanted to let you know that we’re jesuits, too!” Put another way, the author is probably a Jesuit Temporal Coadjutor, protecting the Roman Catholic Church while “showing off” an extremely insightful knowledge of the Inquisition. I say protecting the RCC because the author draws a distinction between the American Inquisition and the Spanish Inquisition. The RCC IS THE AUTHOR OF BOTH, making the current Inquisition an extension of the first. That Jones allows it as one of his lead stories is also very telling.

      Quote: “Toward the end of the 15th Century,” (The author probably meant 16th century, meaning the late 1500’s)… “coinciding with a period of political and territorial consolidation, Spanish tolerance changed abruptly. Spain saw the rise of a form of inquisition more ruthless and disruptive than anywhere else in Europe.” (No kidding…the jesuits were started by Loyola in the EARLY 1500’s)…
      The “Food Chain” of the New World Order is, from the top down:
      The Jesuit General (The Black Pope)…The head of the “Black Ops” for the RCC
      The Roman Pontiff (The White Pope)…The “Front Man” to make the RCC look respectable…answers to the Jesuit General…
      The Grand Master of Sovereign Military Order of Malta (Knights of Malta)
      Heads of Secret Societies(Luciferian/Satanic)…
      Shriners, Masons, Knights of Columbus, Skull and Bones, Scroll and Key, Satanism, etc.
      National Intelligence Agencies (CIA, FBI, KGB, MI5, MI6, ISI [Pakistan], Mossad [Israel] etc.)
      CFR (advance your career by joining us), COINTELPRO (manufactured/controlled opposition)(eg, Alex Jones)(If you doubt Alex is cointelpro/jesuit, just ask him to elaborate on the Jesuits…he won’t bite the hand that feeds/protects him)

      The New World Order is a Roman Catholic Church construct. They already own the property in Jerusalem on which sits the “Dome of the Rock” Mosque, on which site they plan to rebuild Solomon’s Temple, and then present to the world their New World Order Messiah.

      Yours Sincerely,

      Winston

      It should be no surprise that not only the pedophiles are attacted to such places, but also the priests and saints of old like Thomas Aquinas, that loved to shave womem’s heads and other body parts and use cork screws to force the hypnotic demons to leave specific areas of the body, as evidenced in their accounting of wild bodily jerks and gyrations, along with intense screaming which accompanies the departure of demons.

      As Thomas went on to say, he became a man of God because he never really felt love, and only realized God’s love when serving to drive these demons out of women, that he later paraded around naked for the public to gaulk at, followed by burning them alive, legs spread over the kindling thickets, rows of many naked women to be cleansed by his acts and the mercy of God and he felt real love because this is how a sick freak feels good inside.

      These are facts from the archives of the Roman Catholic church.

      The perverts love these places because they get to perform all the atrocities that would never fly otherwise, without the help and insight of their religion, which allows them to experience the joy of love for the very first time and ever more, whenever they get the chance and the right excuse justifies it.

      Now it’s time to legislate these sick bastards into a full time Federal job, after all, our society now allows other types of pervs to coexist among us and even serve. Now lets put those ball twisting and gonad electrial shock freaks to work and we need modern day, gayThomas’s that get off on crushing a guys testicles, all under the guise patriotism, serving this country with love and the new witch hunt of finding the TERRORISTS.

      ALL of this done by the control and “blessing” of the Vatican. I hope we see more of these kind of articles and Alex exposes more the Catholic connection to the wickedness going on in the world. :) )))

      Alaskan magnetometers went BONKERS with every 9/11 “event”, including the planes-shaped holes appearing in the towers. HAARP was involved.

      No one in New York reported the deafening sound of wide-body commercial airliners hitting the towers at full throttle.

      In 1999, the Washington Post reported on the military’s psychological operation hologram project.

      #20 Up Parascope>> Thanks for all the exquisite details. It certainly did allow me to quickly evince in my mind all of it, as if I were watching a movie. It even exceeded anything any Hieronymus Bosch painting has done for me. Excellent.

      The Vatican is and was extremely powerful. Here in amerika during the 19th century, protestant America was very much aware of the vatican’s power. Today, we see the vatican as an arcane dinosaur with little or no power. this is due to the fact that ***Separating VaTican fact from fiction can be difficult on account of the massive quantities of misinformation that has been generated about the brotherhood. Some theorists claim this plethora of misinformation is actually generated by the Vatican themselves in an effort to discredit any factual information that may have surfaced. This concealment tactic – known as ‘data-sowing’ – is often employed by U.S. intelligence agencies”.***
      The vatican is a huge homosexual bivouac. Just look at the pretty boy Swiss Guards that serve as eye candy to both the enlightened and the unwashed.
      Tomas de Torqemada was undoubtedly queer as a 3 dollar bill.

      Become a soldier in the Information War!
      Make flyers and/or DVD copies of various “Truth” documentaries to hand out or just leave laying around in public for people to find. You can put intriguing titles on the DVD’s like “What the government doesn’t want you to know”, “Above Top Secret Info”, “Classified Info” and “Warning:this DVD contains the Truth about our government”.
      http://WWW.WEARECHANGE.ORG has a great 911 truth flyer. You can even create your own flyer or documentary about whatever you feel the most passionate about or whatever you are the most educated on!
      Like I said, if you don’t want to hand them out one by one, you can just put them on windshields, in public restrooms, on public bulletin boards, on grocery store shelves or inside of books and magazines.
      REMEMBER, THE ILLUMINATI/NEW WORLD ORDER MOVEMENT ONLY EXIST B/C OF THE DECEPTION THEY BREED THROUGH THE MEDIA! IF YOU CONTROL THE INFORMATION FLOW, YOU CONTROL THE MINDS OF THE MASSES!
      We must take the media back into our hands by informing the masses of the massive web of manipulation that imprisons our minds, bodies and Souls. Once we reach a critical mass of well-informed individuals, we can begin the next phase of eliminating tyranny and restoring God-given, Constitutional rights to all of humanity! This will finally allow humanity to honestly pursue it’s Divine potential and manifest the Heaven that lies just beneath the surface of this dark pseudo-reality!

      Hypothetical phone call from an airline company to the airline insurance representative after 911:

      IC: “Hello…How may I help you?”

      AC: Yes….I have 4 planes insured with you guys and they all crashed on 911 and I was calling to see when I can get my insurance money for my loss.

      IC: “OK….that’s horrible. Let’s see…. where did this happen?

      AC: Well….2 planes hit the WTC’s in NYC another plane hit the Pentagon, and one crashed into a field in PA. When can I get my money?

      IC: “Well here at Bob’s Plane insurance we want you to receive your money asap. All we will need to do is inspect and verify the wreckage and the ID numbers on the 4 planes so that we can get you your money as quickly as possible. What are the exact locations so that we can send out our inspectors?”

      AC: Well…..that’s a problem. You see there is absolutely NO WRECKAGE of ANY KIND but we do have lots of eyewitnesses and lots of video and film. When can I get my money?

      IC: “I understand sir. It’s just that to pay you all we must do is simply verify that the plane that crashed was the plane that you say it was. It’s simply a matter of looking at any of the 3.1 million pieces that make up a standard 767. If 4 of them crashed that should be pretty easy. That’s almost 13 million parts of aircraft. When can we inspect the wreckage?”

      AC: Well….you can’t. We have eyewitnesses and video.

      IC: “Sir I understand. It’s just that we have never paid a claim simply by an eyewitness or video. All we go by is the wreckage. Certainly there were black boxes or voice data recorders that we could verify other than witnesses or video?”

      AC: “Are you calling all of our eyewitnesses liars? Are you calling all of our video, film, and photos faked and staged? Are you saying that the pain felt by the victims is somehow not real? Are saying that Bush lied and that you hate our troops?”

      IC: “Sir…I understand…it’s just that you are calling about being paid millions of dollars with not one single piece of verifiable evidence of any kind. As an airline insurance company…you must understand that we would be out of business in minutes if all that was needed to file a claim was an eyewitness, a photo, and NO WRECKAGE. Can we at least inspect or test the sites?

      AC: No…..take it or leave it. All we have is what the media told us and what our eyewitnesses said they may have seen…although none of them were under oath. When can we get our money?

      IC: “Sir…with all due respects….call us when we can inspect ANY form of wreckage. Goodbye.”

      AND NOW REAL LIFE: As of this writing not one dime has been paid to any of the airline companies from any airline insurance company that lost planes on 911. Why? Because the insurance companies investigating the crashes have NEVER VERIFIED A SINGLE PIECE OF WRECKAGE FROM ANY OF THE 4 PLANES AT ANY OF THE 4 LOCATIONS ON 911. They pay only by wreckage. Although…..the Bush regime allocated $50 Billion dollars to be paid out immediately following 9-11. $900 million dollars was allocated to American Airlines within 10 days of 911. Would that buy someones complicity and silence? Also…EVERY media company on 911 profited FROM 911 and the government spending that went with it. This is the same media that gave you the footage of planes crashing on 911. NO “private” footage existed for several days, weeks, and years following 911. For example GE…owner of NBC news has made over $100 Billion since and because of 911 due to its military contracts following 911. Would that buy your silence and complicity?
