Twenty Years Of Bad Luck

"When you believe in things that you don't understand, then you suffer!"

I first heard this from Stevie Wonder, and it forms the basis of the newest (old) post at my main blog.

Even After 20 Years, The Facts About 9/11 Must Be Suppressed!

Why The Facts About 9/11 Must Be Suppressed

(1) The official story of 9/11 has been used to justify drastic military actions by the United States and its allies, actions which have brought death, destruction, and chaos to Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, Syria, Pakistan, and many other countries.

(2) The same story has also been used to justify drastic changes in domestic policy, in the United States and in much of the world. These changes have resulted in the persecution, incarceration, torture, and death of many innocent people, not to mention the erosion of civil rights and the perversion of the democratic process in every nation that once enjoyed these things.

(3) If it were widely and clearly understood that the official story of 9/11 is not only obviously false but a carefully crafted fiction:

Politics 101: Know the Difference between WE and THEY

Apologies for writing something personal, but this is a special anniversary for me.

I was born in 1957, so I was six years old when President Kennedy was assassinated. At the time, I didn't even know what the word "assassinated" meant, much less understand what it meant that this particular President had been assassinated. But I saw how the news affected my parents, and all the other adults, and I realized I needed to start paying attention to the news -- and especially to politics, which previously had seemed boring.

9/11 @ 20: It Could Have Been So Much Worse!

For those who were alive on September 11th, 2001, the events of the day seemed horrible beyond measure. But with the sober perspective that comes from two decades of hindsight, we're bound to admit that things could have turned out much worse, in countless ways.

For instance, even though only two of the seven buildings that made up the World Trade Center complex were hit by airplanes, all seven suffered heavily. Early media attention focused on the "collapse" of Buildings 1 and 2. And later we learned that Building 7 had also "collapsed". But until recently, only a few dedicated researchers were aware that Buildings 3, 4, 5, and 6 were also destroyed on the same day. Nowadays, thanks to the exceedingly free flow of information that we currently enjoy, most people know all about this.

How To Succeed In Politics: A Short Suite In Five Movements

For the first time in about nine months, there is a new post at my main blog. I have not been able to write much lately, so I have tried to squeeze as much as possible into something short and suite.

I don't want to distract anyone from the most recent and most excellent piece by James, so I won't take up any more room here than necessary.

Why Obama Had To Veto JASTA

There's a new post at my main blog, in which I explain that

there are three very good reasons why JASTA cannot become law, but two of them cannot be discussed in public, lest the discussion jeopardize national security and undermine the war on terror.

Fortunately my readership is so small that my contribution to the discussion doesn't qualify as "public," so I can tell you things that more popular writers are required to avoid.

You can read the whole piece at my main blog.
