Screw ABC Pass Around THIS flash "Bush Knew - An American Requiem"
Exactly one year after the demise (long before Michael Moore's fine work, and using a split screen technique) I created THIS Flash to honor those fallen on Sept 11th - back then it was very expensive to host video or flash, and once uploaded this flash was being viewed by so many around the world that we literally could not afford to keep it up - whatreallyhappened.com was nice enough to step in and host it, so many, many people watched a learned from this.

THIS is the TRUTH, Not ABC's President Clinton Bashing Spin Propaganda, so I'm getting this out in front of them early, please pass it around if you would, we need to get the damn truth OUT THERE one way or another.

Some of this is Graphic so that's your warning, may not be anything you haven't seen by now. Some of you may have seen this, a lot of newer members may not have.

"Bush Knew - An American Requiem"

Be sure to turn up those speakers for Mozart's "LaCrimosa" in D.

God Bless those who died, and God Bless us too, we'll need it as long as these bastards are in charge.

Edited on Tue Sep-05-06 09:11 PM by symbolman
(my site) did a few years ago. We had MAJOR advertisers dumping Limbaugh the day we started it, BIG ONES. As it went on I ended up on both Scarborough's show and O'Reilly's about it.

We HAMMERED HIM. And some day we will do it again. I know, he's still there, but he must have lost MORE than a million or so, very LARGE corps were walking away from him.

BOYCOTT HERR MAUS too!

Don't forget to watch the Flash, you might learn something you didn't know, that's what it's all about.

8. Thanks for the k&r's and comments
It seems that these days more people are posting a lot of MSM links here, we decided 5 years ago to make our own, in the old days of the DU a new Flash would bring in a 100 folks who actually WATCHED the production, so thanks for viewing, it's the only way we can take back the media.

Not carping on Olbermann, he's kicking ASS :)

11. one of the strangest and least talked about aspects of 9/11 was . . .
the inaction of the Secret Service after Bush and company were informed of the hijackings and the crashes . . . unless they knew for sure that Bush was in no danger, they would have hustled him out of there as fast as possible . . . wasn't the president potentially in grave danger? . . . his schedule had been widely published, people knew he was at the school, and a terrorist attack could conceivably have included an attack on him . . .

did the Secret Service not think of this? . . . or had they been told definitively that Bush was in no danger, and that they shouldn't act? . . . or did they simply display unqualified incompetence by not doing their primary job, which is protecting the president . . . inquiring minds want to know . . .

further, if Bush truly knew nothing more than the several seemingly coordinated hijackings and crashes had occurred, wasn't he putting the school children is potential life threatening danger? . . .

of course, if he knew for a fact that no one would be attacking him, then . . .

12. EXACTLY
the first thing I thought was WELL, the KIDS are in DANGER, publicised, they'd even mentioned some middle easterners NEAR there the day before or so, on a golf course scoping out the area (could be BS).. and of course our "precious" brain trust staked out like the Goat in Jurrasic Park right there in the school..

I have a theory that Cheney was really acting as Prez, everyone but Bush knew it, and he was just a sitting duck - "Don't worry about a thing Georgie, we're gonna make a TON of money, and lean on the People, grab a BUNCH of power.. you just hang in there and act surprised.."

These SS guys DIVE on a Prez if someone Farts, it made no sense at all. Normally a Prez would have stood up and said, "Kids, something important has come up that only the President can take care of, so I have to go to work.. whatever you hear today, don't be scared, the teacher, your mom and dad and I will protect you from any danger.. and I'm gonna make sure that everyone gets ICE CREAM today!"

Then BLAM, he OUTTA THERE.

I was actually afraid that someone had KIDNAPPED Bush (and American prez, first time for everything, not a prez but no matter) when I saw the first surfacing with all the shitty video and this FRIGHTENED man yammering, other men off to the side.. it looked like he was being forced to talk, like a prisoner.

I was in the USAF back in the 70's and used to deliver top secret stuff to different buildings, one day I was sent to a scramble room.. as I walked into the place all the pilots were sitting there playing cards, drinking coffee. All of a sudden the Klaxons went off and BAM, ALL of these guys RAN OVER MY BODY like I was some kind of Cartoon CAT.

I picked myself up off the floor, ran to the door, and out the window I saw Jets hitting the SKY, THAT is how fast they are - so for someone to tell me that there were NO JETS covering the entire Eastern Seaboard for about two hours is simply NOT POSSIBLE.

Thanks for the observations, they all make perfect sense, and I get surprised when I see people saying anything else.

16. Boycotts don't work. Neither will this...old Flash piece.
I'm sorry, Symbolman. I know you're busy, you don't have time to make anything new and that everyone who WANTED to see "Bush Knew" has already seen it. But just by reposting a link to it, doesn't mean you'll get anyone new to see it. Especially not the people who need to see it.

And any boycott of Disney/ABC will work about as well as the Baptist boycott of Disney for giving medical benefits to gay partners. In other words, not at all.

It might have helped if the Democratic Party had taken your stuff and distributed it on air, making it an important part of the Democratic campaign against Bush, but they don't have spines and I'm beginning to believe they never will.

17. Boycotts have been known to work quite
well... Complaints and email and calls do work... I have seen it work many times... Corps will bow to the pressure if enough of it is applied... As far as Symbolman's piece, well it will be new to me as I have not seen it, and I bet other have not either. Thanks Symbolman for giving us inspiration, I for one appreciate all your efforts for the cause.....

Lastly, the Dems in the tutus is just over the top for a Democratic forum.. You do know you are on one, right? This is actually against the rules and I for one am happy to alert the mods.....

21. Do you know the tutus are from a LIBERAL forum?
Edited on Wed Sep-06-06 01:40 PM by tomreedtoon
Did you read the address "bartcop.com" at the bottom of the picture? Since you didn't know who Symbolman was, you probably have never heard of Bartcop.

Bartcop is a guy who has been running a board protesting the right wing ever since the eruption of Rush Limbaugh.

And he does NOT think that Kerry is a person who wants progressive reform. Hell, he didn't even fight it when Bush stole the election from him.

If you need a reference, or to understand why so many "big name" Democrats wear pink tutus and bend over backwards for the Bushes, I suggest you go to http://www.barcop.com - and learn that just because a person claims to be a Democrat doesn't mean he also doesn't support the Bush Family Evil Empire.

And maybe you might want to buy a "Worst President Ever" T-shirt from Bart. He quit his job to do this web site - more than you or I would do - and he needs the money.

from, the image is wrong as it can be... Don't we get enough of that kind of shit from the right?

No, I don't need any reference but I also think this image does not promote Democrats at all and I believe that is the purpose of this board....

There's nothing can be done about it, but most folks I know who are actually on the ground trying to get Democrats elected don't like to have to fight the pink tutu bullshit from the left at the same time.

27. This board is to promote democratic (small D) ideals.
Since you seem to be new to political discourse, you should learn the term DINO - Democrats In Name Only. These are people who ran as Democrats, pretending to support the more liberal ideas of the party, but voting with the Republicans on important issues.

The most obvious DINO is Lieberman, who has been taking Republican money for his campaign even while he supposedly was a Democrat. Kerry certainly qualifies, since he surrendered to the Republican vote-grab without a fight. And he's currently asking us for financial support so he can make a second run at the Presidency, so that he can surrender without a shot one more time.

There are some people for whom DINO status is questionable; Hillary Clinton has supported the Iraq War with very little argument and no explanation. I personally wouldn't exactly call her a DINO, but many people here would - and I think her questionable status should deny her a Presidential run. My own state's Senator Bill Nelson is conservative on many matters, but he's represented the state well and he votes for many issues the way I like, so I don't call him a DINO. Again, others may.

Mind you, with the profiles in cowardice of Democratic Congressmen and Senators (until recently) a pink tutu isn't a certain sign of a DINO, but all generally-agreed-upon DINO's wear their tutus proudly and dance to Daddy Dubya's tune.

Oh, and by the way, have you been by http://www.bartcop.com yet? I can't be your entire political education. You'll have to take some steps yourself.

29. New to political discourse, are you kidding
I am not new to the discourse, just new to the insults of our party by one of our own members... Out of 10,500 posts, this is the first one I question the picture content on....

I myself have a Feingold carton calling the Dems pussies, so I know about that... What I don't know about is the ability to dress our former Presidential Candidate in a pink tutu?

Maybe you can enlighten me as to how it does anything other than offend...

If you were my entire political education, I would see nothing but contempt obviously for Democrats...

Also you might want to come off the I know everything, you don't speech, to post this picture shows me you know nothing....

Do you know the message you send when you do this? Just askin? :shrug:

20. I am one of those who believe that our sick government
orchestrated this whole attack on Sept. 11th, thus giving this regime the excuse to go forward on their agenda, 9/11 was their Pearl Harbour, we are dealing with cold blooded murderers with an idiot boy/king in charge, oh, excuse me Cheney is in charge.

23. And if 9/11 was their opening act,
what might they have in store for the encore?

From a review of media critic Barrie Zwicker's new book "Towers of Deception".

.......he employs a writing style that reflects his personable nature, but does not get tangled up in personal emotional turmoil; even when discussing the most harrowing of subjects, like the possibility of a nuclear False Flag event;

“It’s an out-of-the-blue, in-your-face, screaming-horror surprise. A nuclear weapon blows up in the harbor at Charleston, South Carolina. It’s another 9/11. It’s Nuclear Jihad. A repulsed and confused world shudders at the burning devastation. A radioactive cloud drifts off over the Atlantic. The death toll is unknown. Hundreds of thousands of survivors evacuate. This time the White House is in charge. No more Katrinas. The military is your friend. The president addresses the nation and the world: a “suitcase nuke” from the old Soviet arsenal has been obtained by Islamic terrorists, almost certainly Iranian, he intones. Iran must be neutralized. A nuclear strike on that country now is necessary, appropriate and just. Because some people, even in America, may oppose this action and “choose to side with the terrorists,” new measures are required to “safeguard the homeland”. An unknown number of Americans, and citizens abroad, are rounded up and transported to detention centers. Thousands on FBI and other “watch lists” are permanently denied internet access. ...

An actual atomic False Flag op is the perverted dream of the Dr. Strangegloves currently infesting the White House, Number 10 Downing Street, the Pentagon and Langley. The ones who brought us 9/11.” – (TOD pp. 1-2)


No beating around the bush will be found in Zwicker’s book. He calls them like he sees them, and lets the chips fall where they may.

And if anyone thinks this is too far fetched, just read up on Operation Gladio a NATO/CIA/MI6 operation that used extreme pro-fascist and far right underground groups and renegade military units to stage murderous false flag attacks in Europe which were then blamed on the radical left and communist sympathizers to dissuade voters from voting for left wing politicians and to encourage them to turn to their governments for "protection" from the terrorists.


Sword Play: Attacking Civilians to Justify "Greater Security"
by Chris Floyd

'You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple: to force ... the public to turn to the state to ask for greater security."

This was the essence of Operation Gladio, a decades-long covert campaign of terrorism and deceit directed by the intelligence services of the West -- against their own populations. Hundreds of innocent people were killed or maimed in terrorist attacks -- on train stations, supermarkets, cafes and offices -- which were then blamed on "leftist subversives" or other political opponents. The purpose, as stated above in sworn testimony by Gladio agent Vincenzo Vinciguerra, was to demonize designated enemies and frighten the public into supporting ever-increasing powers for government leaders -- and their elitist cronies.

First revealed by Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti in 1991, Gladio (from the Latin for "sword") is still protected to this day by its founding patrons, the CIA and MI6. Yet parliamentary investigations in Italy, Switzerland and Belgium have shaken out a few fragments of the truth over the years. These have been gathered in a new book, "NATO's Secret Armies: Operation Gladio and Terrorism in Western Europe," by Daniele Ganser, as Lila Rajiva reports on CommonDreams.org.

Originally set up as a network of clandestine cells to be activated behind the lines in the event of a Soviet invasion of Western Europe, Gladio quickly expanded into a tool for political repression and manipulation, directed by NATO and Washington. Using right-wing militias, underworld figures, government provocateurs and secret military units, Gladio not only carried out widespread terrorism, assassinations and electoral subversion in democratic states such as Italy, France and West Germany, but also bolstered fascist tyrannies in Spain and Portugal, abetted the military coup in Greece and aided Turkey's repression of the Kurds.

SNIP

While not infallible, the ancient Latin question is still the best guide to penetrating the bloody murk of modern terrorism: Cui bono? Who benefits? Whose powers and policies are enhanced by the attack? For it is indisputable that the "strategy of tension" means power and profit for those who claim to possess the key to "security." And from the halls of the Kremlin to the banks of the Potomac, this cynical strategy is the ruling ideology of our times.
