(chã¶gyam trungpa rinpoche)spirituality is a particular termwhich actually means a dealing with intuition. in the theistic tradition there is a notion ofclinging into a word. a certain act is regarded as displeasing to ourdivine principles. a certain act is regarded aspleasing for the divine whatever. in the tradition ofnon-theism, however

it is very direct that the case history is notparticularly important. what is actually importantis here and now. now is definitely now. we try to experience what isavailable there, on the spot. there's no point in thinkingthat a past did exist that we could have now. this is now. this very moment.

nothing mystical, just now,very simple, straight forward. and from that nowness, however arises a sense ofintelligence, always that you are constantlyinteracting with reality one by one, spot byspot, constantly. we actually experiencefantastic precision, always. but we are threatened by the now so we jump to thepast or the future. paying attention to the materialsthat exist in our life

all these choices takeplace all the time but none of them are regardedas bad or good per se. everything we experience areunconditional experience. they don't come alongwith a label by saying "this is regarded asbad" or "this is good". we experience them but we don'tactually pay heed to them properly. we don't actually regard thatas we are going somewhere. we regard that as a hassle waiting to be dead.

[echoed: waiting to be dead] that's a problem. and that is nottrusting the nowness properly that what is actuallyexperienced now possesses a lot ofpowerful things. it is so powerful that we can't face it. therefore, we have to borrow from thepast, invite the future, all the time and maybe that's whywe seek religion. maybe that's why wemarch in the street.

maybe that's why wecomplain to society. maybe that's why we votefor the presidents. it is quite ironical andvery funny, indeed. zeitgeist (j. maxwell) the more youbegin to investigate what we think we understand,where we came from what we think we're doing the more you begin tosee we've been lied to. we've been lied to by every institution.what makes you think

for one minute, that thereligious institution is the only one that'snever been touched? the religious institutions of thisworld are at the bottom of the dirt. the religious institutionsin this world are put there by the same people who gave you yourgovernment, your corrupt education who set up your internationalbanking cartels. we have been misled away fromthe true and divine presence in the universe thatmen have called god. i don't know what god isbut i know what he isn't.

and unless and until you areprepared to look at the whole truth wherever it may go,whoever it may lead to the more you educate yourself,the more you understand where things come from, themore obvious things become and you begin to see lies everywhere.you have to know the truth and seek the truth and thetruth will set you free. they must find it difficult... those who have takenauthority as the truth rather than truthas the authority.

g. massey, egyptologist (g. carlin)because i have totell you the truth, folks. when it comes to bullshit big time, major league bullshit you have to stand in awe of theall-time champion of false promises and exaggeratedclaims: religion! think about it.religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisibleman living in the sky who watches everything you do,every minute of every day.

and the invisible man has aspecial list of ten things he does not want you to do. and if you do any of these tenthings, he has a special place full of fire and smoke andburning and torture and anguish where he will send you to liveand suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever andever until the end of time! but he loves you. [laughter and applause] he loves you.

he loves you and he needs money! he always needs money! he's all-powerful, all-perfect,all-knowing, and all-wise; somehow, just can'thandle money! religion takes inbillions of dollars they pay no taxes and theyalways need a little more. now, you talk about agood bullshit story. holy shit! part i:

the greatest story ever told (p. joseph)this is the sun. as far back as 10,000 bc history is abundant with carvings andwritings reflecting people's respect and adoration for this object. and it is simple to understandwhy, as every morning the sun would rise, bringingvision, warmth and security saving man from the cold, blind,predator-filled darkness of night. without it, the cultures understood,the crops would not grow

and life on the planetwould not survive. these realities made the sun themost adored object of all time. likewise, they were alsovery aware of the stars. the tracking of the stars allowed themto recognize and anticipate events which occurred overlong periods of time such as eclipses and full moons. they in turn catalogedcelestial groups into what we know todayas constellations. this is the cross of the zodiac

one of the oldest conceptualimages in human history. it reflects the sun asit figuratively passes through the 12 major constellationsover the course of a year. it also reflects the 12 monthsof the year, the four seasons and the solstices and equinoxes. the term zodiac relates tothe fact that constellations were anthropomorphized orpersonified as figures or animals. in other words, the early civilizationsdid not just follow the sun and stars they personified themwith elaborate myths

involving their movementsand relationships. the sun, with its life-givingand saving qualities was personified as a representativeof the unseen creator or god. god's sun: the light of the world,the savior of human kind. likewise, the 12 constellations representedplaces of travel for god's sun and were identified by names, usuallyrepresenting elements of nature that happened duringthat period of time. for example, aquarius the waterbearer, who brings the spring rains. this is horus. he is the sun godof egypt of around 3000 bc.

he is the sun,anthropomorphized and his life is a series of allegorical mythsinvolving the sun's movement in the sky. from the ancienthieroglyphics in egypt we know much aboutthis solar messiah. for instance, horus, beingthe sun or the light had an enemy known as setwho was the personification of the darkness or night and metaphoricallyspeaking, every morning horus would win the battle againstset, while in the evening

set would conquer horus andsend him into the underworld. it is important to note that 'dark vs.light' or 'good vs. evil' is one of the most ubiquitousmythological dualities ever known and is still expressed onmany levels to this day. broadly speaking, the storyof horus is as follows: horus was born on december 25th of the virgin isis- mary his birth was accompaniedby a star in the east and upon his birth he wasadored by three kings. at the age of 12, he was aprodigal child teacher.

at the age of 30 he was baptizedby a figure known as anup and thus began his ministry.horus had 12 disciples he traveled about with performing miracles such as healingthe sick and walking on water. horus was known by many gesturalnames such as the truth the light, god's anointedson, the good shepherd the lamb of god and many others. after being betrayed bytyphon, horus was crucified buried for 3 days andthus, resurrected. these attributes of horus,whether original or not

seem to permeate in many culturesof the world for many other gods are found to have the samegeneral mythological structure. attis of phrygia, born of thevirgin nana on december 25th crucified, placed in a tomb andafter three days, was resurrected. krishna of india, bornof the virgin devaki with a star in the eastsignaling his coming. he performed miracles with hisdisciples and upon his death was resurrected. dionysus of greece, born ofa virgin on december 25th

was a traveling teacher who performedmiracles such as turning water into wine. he was referred to as the king ofkings, god's only begotten son the alpha and omega and many others.upon his death he was resurrected. mithra of persia, born ofa virgin on december 25th had 12 disciples andperformed miracles upon his death was buried for3 days and thus resurrected. he was also referred to as thetruth, the light and many others. interestingly, the sacred day ofworship of mithra was sunday.

the fact of the matter isthere are numerous saviors from different periodsfrom all over the world which subscribe to thesegeneral characteristics. the question remains:why these attributes? why the virgin birthon december 25th? why dead for 3 days and theinevitable resurrection? why 12 disciples or followers? to find out, let's examine themost recent of the solar messiahs. jesus christ was born of the virginmary on december 25th in bethlehem.

his birth was announced by a star inthe east which three kings or magi followed to locate andadore the new savior. he was a child teacher at 12.at the age of 30 he was baptized by john the baptist andthus began his ministry. jesus had 12 disciples which hetraveled about with performing miracles such as healing the sick, walkingon water, raising the dead. he was also known as the king of kings,the son of god, the light of the world the alpha and omega, thelamb of god and many others. after being betrayed by hisdisciple judas and sold

for 30 pieces of silver, he wascrucified, placed in a tomb and after 3 days was resurrectedand ascended into heaven. first of all, the birth sequenceis completely astrological. the star in the east is sirius, thebrightest star in the night sky which on december 24th aligns with the3 brightest stars in orion's belt. these 3 bright stars in theorion's belt are called today what they were called in ancienttimes 'the three kings'. and the three kings and thebrightest star, sirius all point to the place of thesunrise on december 25th.

this is why the three kingsfollow the star in the east in order to locate the sunrise,the birth of the sun. the virgin mary is the constellationvirgo also known as virgo the virgin. virgo in latin means virgin. virgo was also referredto as the house of bread and the representation of virgo isa virgin holding a sheaf of wheat. this house of bread andits symbol of wheat represents august and september,the time of harvest. in turn, bethlehem literallytranslates to "house of bread".

bethlehem is thus a referenceto the constellation virgo a place in the sky,not on earth. there's another veryinteresting phenomenon that occurs around december25th or the winter solstice. from the summer solsticeto the winter solstice the days becomeshorter and colder. and from the perspectiveof the northern hemisphere the sun appears to move south andgets smaller and more scarce. the shortening of the daysand expiration of the crops

when approaching the winter solsticesymbolized the process of death to the ancients.it was the death of the sun. and by december 22nd the sun'sdemise was fully realized. for the sun having moved southcontinually for six months makes it to its lowestpoint in the sky. here a curious thing occurs: the sun stops moving south, atleast perceivably, for three days. and during this three day pause,the sun resides in the vicinity of the southern cross,or crux constellation.

and after this timeon december 25th the sun moves onedegree, this time north foreshadowing longerdays, warmth and spring. and thus it was said:the son died on a cross was dead for three days, only tobe resurrected or born again. this is why jesus andnumerous other sun gods share the crucifixion, three-daydeath and resurrection concept. it is the sun's transition periodbefore it shifts its direction back into the northern hemisphere,bringing spring and thus salvation.

however, they did not celebratethe resurrection of the sun until the springequinox or easter. this is because at the spring equinox,the sun officially overpowers the evil darkness as daytimethereafter becomes longer in duration than the night and the revitalizingconditions of spring emerge. probably the most obvious ofall the astrological symbolism around jesus regardsthe 12 disciples. they are simply the 12constellations of the zodiac which jesus, being thesun, travels about with.

in fact, the number 12 isreplete throughout the bible. coming back to the cross of the zodiac,the figurative life of the sun this was not just anartistic expression or tool to track thesun's movement. it was also a paganspiritual symbol the shorthand of whichlooked like this. this is not a symbolof christianity. it is a pagan adaptation ofthe cross of the zodiac. this is why jesus in earliercult art is always shown

with his head on the crossfor jesus is the sun. the son of god, the light ofthe world, the risen savior who will come again asit does every morning of the glory of god, who defendsagainst the works of darkness as he is born againevery morning and can be seencoming in the clouds up in heaven with his crown ofthorns or sun rays. of the many astrological/astronomicalmetaphors in the bible

one of the most importanthas to do with the ages. throughout the scriptures, there arenumerous references to the age. in order to understand this, we needto be familiar with the phenomenon known as the precessionof the equinoxes. the ancient egyptians, alongwith cultures long before them recognized that approximatelyevery 2150 years the sunrise on the morningof the spring equinox would occur at a differentsign of the zodiac. this has to do with aslow angular wobble

that the earth maintainsas it rotates on its axis. it is called a precession becausethe constellations go backwards rather than through thenormal yearly cycle. the amount of time it takes for theprecession to go through all 12 signs is roughly 25,765 years. this is also calledthe great year and ancient societieswere very aware of this and they referred to each2150 year period as an age. from 4300 bc- 2150 bc, it was the age of taurus, the bull.

from 2150 bc- 1 ad, it was the age of aries, the ram. and from 1 ad- 2150 ad, it is the age of pisces the age we are stillin to this day. and in and around 2150 wewill enter the new age the age of aquarius. the bible reflects broadlyspeaking a symbolic movement through three ages whileforeshadowing a fourth. in the old testament whenmoses comes down mount sinai with the ten commandments,he is very upset

to see his people worshipinga golden bull calf. in fact, he shattered the stonetablets and instructed his people to kill each other in orderto purify themselves. most biblical scholars will attribute thisanger to the fact that the israelites were worshiping a false idolor something to that effect. the reality is, the goldenbull is taurus the bull and moses represents thenew age of aries the ram. this is why jews even todaystill blow the ram's horn. moses represents thenew age of aries

and upon the new age everyonemust shed the old age. other deities mark thesetransitions as well such as mithra a pre-christian god who killsthe bull in the same symbology. jesus is the figure who ushersin the age following aries the age of piscesor the two fish. fish symbolism is veryabundant in the new testament. jesus feeds 5,000 peoplewith bread and two fish. when he begins his ministrywalking along galilee he befriends two fishermenwho follow him.

and i think we have all seen the "jesusfish" on the back of people's cars. little do they knowwhat it actually means. it is a paganastrological symbolism for the sun's kingdomduring the age of pisces. also, jesus' assumed birth date isessentially the start of this age. at luke 22:10 when jesusis asked by his disciples where the last passover would be jesus replies "behold, whenye are entered into the city there shall a man meet youbearing a pitcher of water

follow him into the housewhere he entereth in." this scripture is by farone of the most revealing of all the astrologicalreferences. the man bearing a pitcherof water is aquarius the water-bearer, who isalways pictured as a man pouring out a pitcher of water. he represents theage after pisces and when the sun (god's sun)leaves the age of pisces (jesus) it will go into the house ofaquarius, as aquarius follows pisces

in the precessionof the equinoxes. all jesus is saying is thatafter the age of pisces will come the age of aquarius. we have all heard about the "endtimes" and the end of the world. the cartoonish depictions inthe book of revelation aside the main source of this ideacomes from matthew 28:20 where jesus says "i will be withyou even to the end of the world." however, in the king james version,'world' is a mistranslation among many mistranslations.

the actual word being used is'aeon', which means 'age'. "i will be with you evento the end of the age." which is true, as jesus' solarpiscean personification will end when the sun entersthe age of aquarius. the entire concept of end timesand the end of the world is a misinterpretedastrological allegory. let's tell that to the approximately100 million people in america who believe the end ofthe world is coming. furthermore, the characterof jesus being a literary

and astrological hybrid is mostexplicitly a plagiarization of the egyptian sun-god horus. for example, inscribedabout 3500 years ago on the walls of thetemple of luxor in egypt are images of the enunciation the miracleconception, the birth and the adoration of horus. the images begin with thothannouncing to the virgin isis that she will conceive horus

then kneph, the holy ghost,impregnating the virgin and then the virgin birthand the adoration. this is exactly the story ofjesus' miracle conception. the literary similaritiesbetween the egyptian religion and the christianreligion are staggering. and the plagiarismis continuous. the story of noah and noah's arcis taken directly from tradition. the concept of the great flood isubiquitous throughout the ancient world with over 200 different cited claimsin different periods and times.

however, one need look no furtherfor a pre-christian source than the epic of gilgamesh,written in 2600 bc. this story talks of a greatflood commanded by god an ark with saved animalsupon it and even the release and return of a dove, all held incommon with the biblical story among many other similarities. and then there is theplagiarized story of moses. upon moses' birth, it is said thathe was placed in a reed basket and set adrift in a river inorder to avoid infanticide.

he was later rescued by a daughter ofroyalty and raised by her as a prince. this baby in a basketstory was lifted directly from the myth of sargon ofakkad of around 2250 bc. sargon was born, placed in a reedbasket in order to avoid infanticide and set adrift in a river. he was in turn rescued and raisedby akki, a royal mid-wife. furthermore, moses isknown as the law giver the giver of the tencommandments, the mosaic law. however, the idea of a law beingpassed from god to a prophet

up on a mountain isalso a very old motif. moses is just another law giverin a long line of law givers in mythological history. in india, manou wasthe great law giver. in crete, minosascended mount dicta where zeus gave himthe sacred laws. while in egypt there was mises,who carried stone tablets and upon them the lawsof god were written. manou. minos. mises. moses.

and as far as the ten commandments,they are taken outright from spell 125 in theegyptian book of the dead. what the book of the dead phrased "i havenot stolen" became "thou shall not steal". "i have not killed" became"thou shall not kill". "i have not told lies" became "thoushall not bear false witness" and so forth. in fact, the egyptian religion islikely the primary foundational basis for the judeo-christiantheology. baptism, afterlife, finaljudgment, virgin birth

death and resurrection, crucifixion,the ark of the covenant circumcision, saviors,holy communion great flood, easter,christmas, passover and many more, are allattributes of egyptian ideas long pre-datingchristianity and judaism. justin martyr, one of the first christianhistorians and defenders, wrote: "when we say that he,jesus christ, our teacher was produced without sexualunion, was crucified and died and rose again, andascended into heaven

we propound nothing differentfrom what you believe regarding those who youesteem sons of jupiter." in a different writing,justin martyr said: "he was born of a virgin,accept this in common with what you believeof perseus." it's obvious that justinand other early christians knew how similar christianitywas to the pagan religions. however, justin had a solution. as far as he was concerned,the devil did it.

the devil had the foresightto come before christ and create his characteristicsin the pagan world. (b. hicks)fundamentalistchristianity, fascinating! these people actually believethe world is 12,000 years old. i actually asked one of theseguys "ok, dinosaur fossils?" he says "dinosaur fossils? god put those hereto test our faith!" [laughter] "i think god put you hereto test my faith, dude!"

(p. joseph)the bible is nothing more thanan astro-theological literary hybrid, just like nearly allreligious myths before it. in fact, the aspect of transferenceof one character's attributes to a new character can befound within the book itself. in the old testament there'sthe story of joseph. joseph was aprototype for jesus. joseph was born of a miracle birth.jesus was born of a miracle birth. joseph was of 12 brothers.jesus had 12 disciples. joseph was sold for20 pieces of silver.

jesus was sold for30 pieces of silver. brother judah suggeststhe sale of joseph. disciple judas suggeststhe sale of jesus. joseph began his workat the age of 30. jesus began his workat the age of 30. the parallels go on and on. furthermore, is there any non-biblicalhistorical evidence of any person living with the namejesus, the son of mary who traveled about with 12followers, healing people?

there are numerous historians wholived in and around the mediterranean either during or soon afterthe assumed life of jesus. how many of these historiansdocument this figure? not one. however, to be fair, thatdoesn't mean defenders of the historical jesushaven't claimed the contrary. four historians are typicallyreferenced to justify jesus' existence. pliny the younger, suetonius andtacitus are the first three. each one of their entries consistsof only a few sentences at best and only refer to 'christus' or thechrist, which in fact is not a name

but a title.it means 'the anointed one'. the fourth source isjosephus and this source has been proven to be a forgeryfor hundreds of years. sadly, it is stillcited as truth. you would think that a guywho rose from the dead and ascended into heavenfor all eyes to see and performed the wealth ofmiracles acclaimed to him would have made it intothe historical record. it didn't because oncethe evidence is weighed

there are very high odds thatthe figure known as jesus did not even exist. "the christian religion is aparody on the worship of the sun in which they put a man calledchrist in the place of the sun pay him the adorationoriginally paid to the sun." thomas paine (1737-1809) (j. maxwell)we don't want to beunkind, but we want to be factual. we don't want tocause hurt feelings but we want to beacademically correct

in what we understandand know to be true. christianity just isnot based on truth. we find that christianity was infact nothing more than a roman story developed politically. (p. joseph)the reality is,jesus was the solar deity of the gnostic christian sect and like all other pagan gods,he was a mythical figure. it was the political establishmentthat sought to historize the jesus figure forsocial control.

in 325 ad in rome, emperor constantineconvened the council of nicea. it was during this meetingthat the politically motivated christian doctrineswere established and thus began a long history ofreligious bloodshed and spiritual fraud. and for over the next1000 years, the vatican maintained a politicalstranglehold on all of europe leading to such joyousperiods as the dark ages along with enlightening events suchas the crusades and the inquisition. christianity, along with allother related theologies

is a historical fraud. these religions now serve to detachthe species from the natural world and likewise, each other. they support blindsubmission to authority. they reduce humanresponsibility to the effect that 'god' controls everythingand in turn awful crimes can be justified in thename of a divine pursuit. and most critically, it empowersthe political establishment who have been using the myth tomanipulate and control societies.

the religious myth is one of themost powerful devices ever created and serves as the psychological soilupon which other myths can flourish. (d. griffin)a myth is an idea that,while widely believed, is false. in a deeper sense, inthe religious sense a myth serves as an orienting andmobilizing story for a people. the focus is not on the story's relationto reality but on its function. a story cannot function, unlessit is believed to be true in the community or the nation. it is not a matter of debate ifsome people have the bad taste

to raise the question of thetruth of the sacred story. the keepers of the faith do notenter into debate with them. they ignore them or denouncethem as blasphemers. it is wrong, blasphemous andsinful for you to suggest, imply or help other peoplecome to the conclusion that the us government killed3,000 of its own citizens. part ii: all the world's a stage (man on phone) as if ademolition team set off...

when you see demolitionsof these old buildings. (series of 3 reporters)it looks likeone of those scenes of an old building beingpurposely blown up. anybody who's ever watched abuilding being demolished on purpose knows that if you'regoing to do this you have to get at the under-infrastructure ofa building and bring it down. the way the structure iscollapsing, this was the result of something that was planned.it's not accidental that the 1st tower just happenedto collapse and then the 2nd tower

just happened to collapsein exactly the same way. how they accomplishedthis, we don't know. (fireman casaliggi) the buildingcollapsed to dust. you don't find a desk,you don't find a chair you don't find atelephone or a computer. the biggest piece ofa telephone i found was half of the keypad andit was about this big. - what happened to the concrete?- the concrete was pulverized. from river to river there was dustpowder, two or three inches thick.

the concrete wasjust pulverized! (man on phone)...reminiscent of thosepictures we've all seen too much on tv before when a buildingwas deliberately destroyed by well-placed dynamiteto knock it down. - it's as if they had detonators...- yes, detonators -...planned to take down thebuilding, boom, boom... i heard a 2nd explosion. there was aheavy-duty explosion. there was a secondary explosionand then a subsequent collapse.

...explosion blew and thenit knocked everybody over. to me it soundedlike an explosion. it sounded likegun-fire, bang-bang! and then all of a suddenthree big explosions. ... and we heard bigexplosion coming down. ... and then the entire topof the building just blew up. - we saw some kind of explosion.- by the force of the explosions... - big explosion... it blew us back into the 8th floor.- we got to the lobby, there was a big explosion. the lobby looked as if abomb had exploded there.

(series of 7 witnesses)huge explosion,now raining debris... there's been a huge explosion!!! huge explosion that weall heard and felt. we just witnessed some kindof follow up explosion... we heard a very loud (it blasted!) explosion... smoke and secondaryexplosion in tower one... that is another bomb going off.he thinks that there were actually devices that were planted in the building...planted in the building... the 9/11 myth

19 hijackers, directed by osama binladen, took over 4 commercial jets and, while evading the air defense system(norad), hit 75% of their targets. in turn, world tradetowers 1, 2 & 7 collapsed due to structural failure throughfire in a 'pancake' fashion while the plane that hit thepentagon vaporized upon impact as did the plane thatcrashed in shanksville. the 911 commission found that there wereno warnings for this act of terrorism while multiple government failuresprevented adequate defense. 'no warnings'

(c. rice)i don't thinkanybody could have predicted that they would try to usean airplane as a missile a hijacked airplaneas a missile. nobody in our government at least, andi don't think the prior government could have envisioned flyingairplanes into buildings. no specific threat involvingdomestic operations involving what happened obviously,the cities, airliners and so on. there were no warningsigns that i'm aware of. usatoday reports that in the 2 yearsbefore the attacks on september 11th

norad conducted exercises usinghijacked airliners as weapons. and one target was theworld trade center. cover of fema responsemanual, 1997. operation "mascal", oct.2000, simulated a plane crash into the pentagon. (journalist)in confidential documentsfrom the philippines obtained by cnn the plan was clear: he will boardany american commercial aircraft control its cockpit, and diveit at the cia headquarters. other buildings targeted included thepentagon and world trade center. the federal aviation administration(faa) received 52 warnings

about al-qaeda in thesix months before 9/11 and did notapparently heed them. (journalist)the pentagon reportedlydoes not want the public to hear next week's senatetestimony about the former secret intelligence unit,known as 'able danger' and it identified mohammed attaand three other 9/11 terrorists as members of an al-qaedacell in brooklyn, new york more than a yearbefore the attacks. and we found two of the three cellswhich conducted the 9/11 attacks.

(journalist)lt colonel anthony shaffer,the first member of 'able danger' to go public, has now been told in writingby the defense intelligence agency that it can't speak to members of congressor their staff without prior approval. this is an attempt toprevent the american people from knowing the facts about howwe could have prevented 9/11 and people arecovering it up today. (journalist)security andcounter-terrorism was blinking red in the words of george tenet, thatthe warnings of an imminent attack were so severe that somethingdramatic should have been done.

it was unparalleled. instead, ourpresident went on a month-long vacation. 19 hijackers (m. meacher) the head of pakistaniintelligence (isi) mahmood ahmed requested omar sheikh to wire $100,000 to mohammed attawho was the lead hijacker. (2 journalists)hijacker mohammed attareceived wire transfers via pakistan. the man sendingthe money to atta is believed to be ahmedomar saeed sheikh. omar sheikh admittedhe was supported

by the pakistani government'sintelligence service, the isi. no inquiry was ever made as to whygeneral ahmad ordered $100,000 to be sent to mohamed atta. on the morning of september 11, governmentofficials were having breakfast with general ahmadin washington. the 911 commission deemed thefinancing of the attacks was 'of little practical significance'in their official report. (journalist)as hard as this is to believe,that two of the alleged terrorists involved in whathappened on tuesday

may have attended schools run by u.s. military. evidence was alsoapparently planted. the passport of oneof the hijackers on flight 11 was allegedlyfound in the rubble. the hijacker's passportwas found blocks from the world trade center crashsite, if you can believe that. the 9/11 hijackersare alive and well that's according to the chiefof japan's democratic party who says 9/11 is a hoax.

several of these 19men are still alive. "i couldn't believe it whenthe fbi put me on their list. they gave my name and my date ofbirth but i'm not a suicide bomber. i am alive.i have no idea how to fly a plane." at least 7 of the hijackersare still alive. the fbi has to this daynot revised their list. at least 5 hijackers are reported aslinked to us military institutions. osama b. laden of course we're after saddamhussein, i mean bin laden, he's...

(journalist)in the early 80s binladen worked with operatives from us intelligence, the pakistanimilitary and arab states. january 2001.the bush administration orders the fbi and intelligence agenciesto back off investigations involving the bin laden family including two of osamabin laden's relatives who were living, guess where?in falls church, virginia right next to cia headquarters. when he was already america's'most wanted criminal'

he reportedly spent two weeks inthe american hospital in dubai was treated by an american doctorand visited by the local cia agent. we have not seen one piece ofevidence that links osama bin laden directly to the planningstages of september 11th. (d. griffin)this failure to provideproof was later said to be unnecessary because bin laden, in a videoallegedly found in afghanistan admitted responsibilityfor the attacks. "i have carefully examinedthe pentagon's translation which is very problematic.at the most important pieces where it is held

to prove the guilt of bin laden, itis not identical with the arabic." arabist dr. abdel eim husseini "the american translators who listenedto the tapes and transcribed them apparently wrote a lot of thingsin that they wanted to hear but cannot be heard, no matter howmany times you listen to the tapes." gernot rotter, prof.of islamic studies at university of hamburg in 1976, osama's olderbrother saleem bin laden hired a man in texas bythe name of jim bath to handle all the investments in theunited states for the bin laden family.

jim bath also happens to be apersonal, almost life-long friend and former international guardpilot, with george w. bush. the connections between thebushes and the bin ladens become much more clear whengeorge herbert walker bush made trips to saudi arabia in1998 and 2000 to meet with the bin laden family on behalf of acompany called the carlyle group. on the morning of 9/11, the carlylegroup was having a conference in washington, which included osama'solder brother, shafig bin laden. the carlyle group is linked to theworld's largest defense contractors

which continue to reap massive profitsoff of the post 9/11 'war on terrorism' and afghan/iraq wars. pentagon (reporter)how could anyonefly a 60 ton, 125 foot wide 44 foot tall plane throughthis obstacle course? (d. griffin)the aircraft before strikingthe pentagon reportedly executed a 270 degree downward spiral and yet hani hanjour wasknown as a terrible pilot who could not safely flyeven a small plane.

"he didn't care about the fact thathe couldn't get through the course." "i am still to this day amazed that hecould have flown into the pentagon... " - az flight school employee (newyork times report 5/4/2002) (reporter) no seats,no luggage, no bodies. nothing but bricksand limestone. (d. avery)the official explanation isthat the intense heat from the jet fuel vaporized the entire plane.flight 77 had two rolls royce engines made of steel and titaniumalloy and weighed 6 tons each. it is scientifically impossiblethat 12 tons of steel

and titanium wasvaporized by jet fuel. we're also told that the bodieswere able to be identified either by the fingerprintsor by their dna. so what kind of fire can vaporizealuminum and tempered steel and yet leave humanbodies intact? (reporter)from my close-up inspectionthere's no evidence of a plane having crashed anywherenear the pentagon and the only piecesleft that you can see are small enough that youcan pick up in your hand.

(d. griffin)shortly after thestrike, government agents picked up debris andcarried it off. the entire lawn was coveredwith dirt and gravel so that any remaining forensicevidence was literally covered up. the videos from securitycameras which would show what really hit the pentagonwere immediately confiscated by agents of the fbi and the department of justice has tothis day refused to release them. if these videos would prove that thepentagon was really hit by a 757

most of us would assume thegovernment would release them. [request denied] shanksville - it looks like there's nothing thereexcept for a hole in the ground. - basically that's right, the onlything you could see from where we were was a big gouge in the earthand some broken trees. you could see some people working,walking around in the area but from where we could seethere wasn't much left. - any large pieces of debris at all?- no, there was nothing.

nothing that you could distinguishthat a plane had crashed there. commercial planecrash in nigeria flight 93 "crash" in shanksville the fbi and state police here haveconfirmed that they have cordoned off a second area about 6 to 8 milesaway from the crater here. this is apparentlyanother debris site. why would debris belocated 6 miles away? could that have blown that far away?seems highly unlikely. world trade towers 1, 2 & 7

(d. griffin)pancake theory,according to which the fires while not melting the steel,heated it up sufficiently to cause the floors weakenedby the airplane strikes to break loose from the steel columnsand this started a chain reaction. - so, you would expect then from thattheory, which is the official theory to see a whole stack of floorspiled up on top of each other and then a spindle of corecolumns standing too. - the core of each of the twin towersconsisted of 47 massive steel columns. if the floors had broken loosefrom them, these columns

would have still been sticking upinto the air, a thousand feet. the plane did not cutall those core columns. we designed the buildings to takethe impact of the boeing 707 hitting the buildingat any location. the building probably could sustainmultiple impacts of jetliners. - ...that the plane flew straight into the building.- straight through, right. - so you're saying that the buildingwas actually designed to cope with a hole like that and then still survive?- yes, it was. - if you would drop,say a billiard ball

from the top of the world tradecenter, 110 floors up there it would have taken 8 to 10seconds to hit the ground encountering noresistance whatsoever. (d. avery)the twin towers camedown in nearly free fall speed. 200,000 tons of steel shatters andexplodes outwards over 500 feet. - this means that floorsshattered at an average rate of about ten floors per second. - there is no scenario for a pancakeeffect of buildings falling that allows them to fallat a rate of free fall.

now what can do that?what can move mass out of the way? explosives. 47 huge steel columns going up thecore that are interconnected. how do you get them to failsimultaneously so the core disappeared? it looks like thosecore columns were cut. (controlled demolition expert)we do this by cutting the beam at an angle. world trade center corecolumn after the collapse. notice the 'cut' shape and the melted...or 'molten metal'.

(s. jones)i started lookingat the molten metal. all three buildings, both towers inthe rubble, in the basement areas and building 7, there werethese pools of molten metal. for well over 6 weeksafter the collapse hot spots of 2000â°f weredocumented in the debris. that is 500â°f hotterthan jet fuel can burn in the most controlledconditions. you'd get down below andyou'd see molten steel molten steel runningdown the channel rails

like you were in a foundry like lava of a volcano. (d. avery)the molten steel wasfound 3, 4 and 5 weeks later when the rubble wasbeing removed. he said that molten steel was alsofound underneath world trade center 7. so i'm looking through the official reports.what do they say about the molten metal?they say nothing. wait a minute.this is important evidence. where did that come from?

(s. jones)thermite is so hot thatit will just cut through steel through structural steel, for example,like a knife through butter. the products are molteniron and aluminum oxide which goes offprimarily as a dust. you know, thoseenormous dust clouds? you can imagine, when you assemblethese chemicals on a large scale. - so, professor niels harrit,you examined the rubble that came from the world trade center.what did you find in it? - in there, we find remains

of what we characterizeas a thermitic material. this is very energetic material which can be usedeither for melting iron or it can be designedas an explosive. the evidence for controlleddemolition is overwhelming. i told you that the thermitereaction produced molten iron. molten iron was in pools ofmolten iron in the rubble and the point is that thethermite kept on reacting. this was the witches' brewof thermite chemistry.

molten metal pools under bothtowers after they collapsed and building 7, whichwasn't even hit by a jet. (reporter)part of theproblem is that most people simply don't knowmuch about building 7 due to the extraordinary secrecysurrounding this collapse. (reporter)this was a47-story skyscraper. this building fell at 5:25. (d. griffin)it was not hitby a plane. this building had fireson only 2 or 3 floors.

- ... and it was brought down by whatwe know was a controlled demolition. - demolitions look just likethat, kink in the middle and then that building just comesstraight down almost at free fall speed. in 2005, the national instituteof standards and technology released its reporton wtc towers 1 & 2. the 10,000 page report does notaddress the actual collapse. in 2008, the national instituteof standards and technology released its reporton wtc tower 7. they did not analyzeone piece of steel

or test a controlleddemolition hypothesis. rather, they built a computermodel with a predisposition that it was a'fire-induced' collapse. the parameters usedhave not been released. while admitting there was a period of'free fall' for 2.25 sec (8 floors) they provide no explanationas to how this is possible since their 'progressivecollapse' theory is based on systemic collisionsand triggered failures. the law of conservation ofmomentum simply cannot allow

for a 'progressive'movement through resistance at the rate of 'free fall'. did we review thesub-basement explosions which occurred momentsbefore the first plane hit? our office was on the b1 level.as i was talking to a supervisor at 8.46 and all of a sudden we hear- boom! (william rodriguez, 20year employee of the wtc) an explosion so hardthat pushed us upwards. and it came from the basement, betweenthe b2 level and the b3 level.

and when i went to verbalize, we hear- boom! the impact of theplane on the top. (reporter)it would appear as if there'smore smoke coming from the ground... i was down at the basement, came down,all of a sudden the elevator blew up. and as we were coming out, we passed a lobby.there was no lobby so i believe the bombhit the lobby first and couple of seconds,then the first plane hit. as i'm walking by the main freightcar of the building in the corridor that's when i got blown.

i mean, the impact of theexplosion threw me to the floor and that's when everythingstarted happening. all of a sudden a bigimpact happened again and all the ceiling tiles andlight fixtures were falling down. you have to go clear across thehall from 1 to 2 world trade center and then all of a sudden ithappened all over again. something else hit us to the floor.right in the basement, you felt it. walls were caving in,everything that was going on... i know people that gotkilled in the basement.

i know people that gotbroken legs in the basement. people got reconstructive surgerybecause the walls hit them in the face. norad (north americanaerospace defense command) according to standard operatingprocedure, if an faa flight control notices anything thatsuggests a possible hijacking controllers are to contact their superior.if the problem cannot be fixed within about a minute, thesuperior should ask norad the north american aerospacecommand to send up or scramble jet fighters tofind out what is going on.

norad then issuesa scramble order to the nearest air forcebase with fighters on alert. although interceptions usuallyoccur within 10 or so minutes in this case 80 or sominutes had elapsed before fighterswere even airborne. (reporter)it's amind-bending anomaly. not a single us air force interceptorturns a wheel until it's too late. there are no jets at all. what if they were so confused, andhad been so deliberately confused

that they couldn't respond? the reason that they didn't know where togo was because a number of conflicting and overlapping war gameexercises were taking place that involved the insertionof false radar blips on the radar screens in thenorth-east air defense sector. (faa)"hi, boston center tmu,we have a problem here. we have a hijacked aircraftheaded towards new york we need someone to scramble some f-16sor something up there to help us out." (norad)"is this realworld or exercise?"

there was another exercise,"vigilant warrior" which was in fact accordingto a norad source a live-fly hijack drill beingconducted at the same time. with only 8 availablefighter aircraft and they have to bedispatched in pairs they were dealing with as many as 22possible hijacks on the day of 9/11 and they couldn't separate the war gameexercises from the actual hijacks. in 2000, norad had 67 intercepts.100% accuracy. on 9/11 they failed4 times in one day.

in at least one of the many wargames going on the morning of 9/11 planes being flown intobuildings was a scenario. 9/11 commission page 172: "the us governmenthas not been able to determine the origin of the moneyused for the 9/11 attacks. ultimately, the question is oflittle practical significance." the american authoritieshave not managed to trace the source of the fundingand then the most amazingly disingenuous statement: "ultimately,is it of little consequence".

it is of massive consequence! doesn't it matterwho paid for 9/11? (d. griffin)the collapse ofbuilding 7 has been recognized as especiallydifficult to explain. the 9/11 commission report implicitlyadmitted that it could not explain the collapse of this buildingby not even mentioning it. - mr. president, why are you andthe vice president insisting on appearing together beforethe 9/11 commission? - because the 9/11 commissionwants to ask us questions.

that's why we are meeting and ilook forward to meeting with them and answering their questions. - the question was, why are you appearingtogether rather than separately which was their request? - because it's a good chance forboth of us to answer questions that the 9/11 commission islooking forward to asking us and i am looking forward toanswering them. let's see. - do you think they should be able tostand up and speak their own words? - they should go under oath.in public!

when bush and cheney met with the9/11 commission, they did so only on their own terms:they appeared together. they were not under oath. no press or family memberswere allowed to attend. no recording of anykind was allowed. - don't you think that the familiesdeserve to have a transcript or to be able to see...- adam, you asked me that question yesterday and got the same answer. - the final report wasa unanimous report.

that means that if there was a singlecommissioner who had any objection about anything, that fact wouldbe dropped from the report. - we have found out that he notonly served on the transition team of the bush administration that he was a personwho wrote a draft memo for the setup of the bush administration'snational security council that he was an individual whowrote the preemptive war strategy that was eventually usedfor the war on iraq that he's a close friendof condoleezza rice's.

we want him to resign. there is literally nothingin the 9/11 report that the bush administrationdid not approve of. (d. griffin)we can understandtherefore why the commission under zelikow's leadership wouldhave ignored all the evidence that would point to the truth that 9/11 was a falseflag operation intended to authorizethe doctrines and funds needed for a new level ofimperial mobilization.

(d. rumsfeld)one day our grandchildrenwill look back on this time and ask "how was the war on terror won?" the entire us rulingclass, ruling elite comes to see terrorismas the preferred means indeed the only means toprovide social cohesion

to provide an enemy image for thesociety, to keep it together. according to neocon theory fromcarl schmitt, you have to have an enemy image in orderto have a society. a very dangerous thing because now itmeans that the entire social order the political parties, intellectuallife, politics in general are all based on amonstrous myth.

look, what the cia hasdone in this country what they have done tous is unbelievable. look at the terroristacts that have occurred. the cia is behind mostif not all of them. we had the marine barracks,their embassy in kenya. we had pan am 103.we had the uss cole. we had oklahoma city.we had the world trade center in 1993. ...that helped the terrorists to blow upthe world trade center the first time. they built the bomb.they got the driver's license.

the informer emad a. salem, a 43-year-oldformer egyptian army officer was given the assignmentto put the bomb together and he went to hisfbi supervisor and he said "we're going to puta dummy bomb in here, right?" and the fbi supervisor said "no,we're going to put a real bomb." (journalist)fbi agents mighthave been able to prevent last february's deadly explosionat new york's world trade center. they discussed secretly substitutingharmless powder for the explosives but they didn't, according to thefbi's own informant emad salem.

unbeknownst to thefbi at the time salem recorded many of hisconversations with his handlers. unfortunately for them, therewere only six people killed not enough to passthe legislation. so, what happenedis two years later april 19, 1995 downcomes oklahoma city the murrah building,168 people killed. one year later, the anti-terrorlegislation, which takes away many of our constitutional rightsand civil liberties, is passed.

madrid, 2004 7/7/2005 london: 3 trains and a buswere bombed, killing 56 people. that morning, an "anti-terrorexercise" just happened to be taking place aswell, dealing with... the exact same bombing scenario at the exact same train stations at the exact same time. - ... because at half past 9 this morning,we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand peoplein london based on simultaneous bombs

going off precisely at the railwaystations where it happened this morning so i still have the hairs on theback of my neck standing upright! - to get this straight, you were runningan exercise to see how you would cope with this and it happened while youwere running the exercise? - precisely! yeah... that's right. the exact samebombing at the exact same train stations at virtually the same time. [we're] supposed to believe itwas some kind of coincidence that there was also an anti-terroristdrill going on on 7/7. and again, just like on 9/11

they were talking aboutattacks on the same targets the same kind of tube stationsat exactly the same time as the actual attack happened providing some kind ofcover for what must be operations orchestratedin some way by the state. (j. maxwell)i amabsolutely appalled at how much people in thiscountry do not think. we are given to understand that a guy out thereup in the mountains

financed the most elaborateattack on this country. (a. jones)do you thinksome people in a cave were able to havenorad stand down? do you think thatpeople in a cave were able to haveall of this happen? (j. maxwell)and when i thinkabout how many americans were killed in new york city and believing as i do thatthis thing was a set-up job this is a textbookoperation that nazis used

and they've used itover and over again. america has been suckeredin one more time. ("network" 1976)i don't haveto tell you things are bad. everybody knows things are bad. the dollar buys a nickel's worth.banks are going bust. shopkeepers keep a gununder the counter. punks are running wild in the street.there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to doand there's no end to it. we know the air is unfit to breatheand our food is unfit to eat.

we sit watching our tvs whilesome local newscaster tells us that today we had 15 homicidesand 63 violent crimes as if that's the way it's supposed to be!we know things are bad. worse than bad, they're crazy! it's like everything everywhere is goingcrazy, so we don't go out anymore. we sit in the house and slowly the worldwe're living in is getting smaller and all we say is "please, at leastleave us alone in our living rooms. let me have my toaster and mytv, my steel-belted radials and i won't say anything.just leave us alone!"

(charles lindbergh, 1941)when hostilitiescommenced in europe in 1939 it was realized that the american peoplehad no intention of entering the war. but they believed that this countrycould be enticed into the war in very much the same way that itwas enticed into the last one.

they planned, first, to preparethe united states for foreign war under the guise ofamerican defense. second, to involve us in the war step by step, withoutour realization. third, to create aseries of incidents which would force us intothe actual conflict. these plans were, of course,to be covered and assisted by the full power oftheir propaganda. our theaters soon becamefilled with plays

portraying the glory of war. news reels lost allsemblance of objectivity and they have used the war to justify the restrictionof congressional power and the assumption ofdictatorial procedures on the part of the presidentand his appointees. a fear campaign was inaugurated. we cannot allow the naturalpassions and prejudices of other peoples, to leadour country to destruction.

part iii: don't mind the menbehind the curtain "behind the ostensible government sitsenthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance andacknowledging no responsibility to the people."- theodore roosevelt "the real menace of our republicis the invisible government... the little coterie of powerful internationalbankers virtually runs the us government for their own selfish purposes." john f. hylan "the real truth of the matter is that afinancial element in the large centers

has owned the government since the days of andrew jackson."- franklin d. roosevelt (p. joseph)1775, the americanrevolutionary war began as the american coloniessought to detach from england and its oppressive monarchy. though many reasons arecited for the revolution one in particular sticksout as a prime cause: that king george lliof england outlawed the interest-freeindependent currency the colonies wereproducing themselves

in turn forcing them to borrow moneyfrom the central bank of england immediately creating economichardship and despair. in the words of peter cooper,former vice-president of the new york board of currency:"after franklin had explained to the british government asthe real cause of prosperity they immediately passed laws forbiddingthe payment of taxes in that money. this produced such great inconvenienceand misery to the people that it was the principalcause of the revolution." in 1783, america won itsindependence from england.

however, its battle againstthe central bank concept and the corrupt, power-hungrymentality associated with it had just begun. so what is a central bank?a central bank is an institution that issues and regulates thecurrency of an entire nation. based on historical precedent,the typical powers inherent in central banking practice includethe control of interest rates and the expansion and contractionof the money supply itself. the central bank does not simplyissue money to the government.

it loans it to themwith interest. then, through the mechanisms of increasingand decreasing the supply of money the central bank essentially regulatesthe value of the currency issued. it is critical to understand thatthe entire structure of this system can only produce one thingin the long run: debt. it doesn't take a lot of ingenuityto figure this scam out for nearly every single dollarproduced by both the central bank and its regulated commercialbanks is loaned at interest. that means every dollarproduced is actually the dollar

plus a certain percentage ofdebt based on that dollar. and since the banking system hasthe monopoly of the production of the currency and theyloan each dollar out with an immediatedebt attached to it where does the money to payfor the debt come from? it can only comefrom the banks again which means the banking systemhas to perpetually increase its money supply to temporarilycover the outstanding debt created which in turn, since that newmoney is loaned out at interest

creates even more debt! the end result of this systemis essentially slavery for it is technically impossible fora government and thus the public to ever come out of theself-generating debt. "and i sincerely believe...that banking establishments are more dangerous thanstanding armies; and that the principle of spendingmoney to be paid by posterity under the name of funding, is butswindling futurity on a large scale" letter from thomas jeffersonto john taylor (may 28, 1816)

"banking was conceived ininiquity and was born in sin. the bankers own the earth...if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery,let them continue to create money." sir josiah stamp, universityof texas speech, 1927 by the early 20th century, the ushad already implemented and removed a few central banking systems,which were maneuvered into place by ruthless banking interests. at this time, the dominant familiesin the banking and business world were the rockefellers, the morgans,the warburgs, the rothschilds.

in the early 1900's, theysought to push once again legislation to createanother central bank. however, they knew thegovernment and public were very weary ofsuch an institution. they needed to create an incidentto affect public opinion. jp morgan, publicly considered afinancial luminary at the time exploited his mass influenceby reportedly creating rumors that prominent banks in new yorkwere insolvent, or bankrupt. morgan knew this would trigger masshysteria and a systemic crisis.

and it did. the public, infear of losing their deposits immediately beganmass withdrawals. consequently, the banks wereforced to call in their loans causing the recipientsto sell their property and thus a spiral of bankruptcies,repossessions, and turmoil emerged. putting the pieces together years later,congressman charles lindbergh wrote: "the king bankers put in motion,in 1907, a great scheme. they had gambled andspeculated on wall street until so many watered stocks andbonds had been manufactured...

the king bankers knew thecondition and informed the favored of theirfriends what was to come. there was to be a panic in the fallof 1907 that would be advertised as the result of our badbanking and currency laws." the panic of 1907 led to acongressional investigation headed by senator nelson aldrich who had intimate tiesto the financial powers and later became part of rockefellerfamily through marriage. the commission led by aldrichrecommended a central bank

should be implemented so a paniclike 1907 could never happen again. this was the spark that the bankersneeded to initiate their plan and in 1910 a secret meetingwas held at jp morgan estate on jekyll island offthe coast of georgia. it was there where thecentral banking bill called 'the federalreserve act' was written. this legislation was writtenby bankers, not lawmakers. this meeting was so secretive,so concealed from government and public knowledge that mostof the figures who attended

disguised their names whenin route to the island. after this bill was constructed,it was then handed over to their political frontman, senatornelson aldrich, to push through congress. in 1913, with heavy politicalsponsorship by the bankers woodrow wilson became president,having already agreed to sign the federal reserve act inexchange for campaign support. a few days before christmas,when much of congress was at home with their families, thefederal reserve act was voted in and wilson made it law.

the night before its passage,congressman charles lindbergh pleaded: "this act establishes the mostgigantic trust on earth... when the president signs thisact, the invisible government by the money powerwill be legalized." the public was told thatthe federal reserve system was an economic stabilizer andinflation and economic crisis were a thing of the past. as history has shown, nothingwas further from the truth. the fact is the bankers nowhad a streamlined machine

for economic manipulation. (from the movie 'frankenstein',1931) it's alive! for example, from 1914 to 1919, the fedsubstantially increased the money supply resulting in extensive loansto small banks and the public. then in 1920, the fed deliberatelycontracted credit in an extreme way thus resulting in banks having tocall in large numbers of loans and just like 1907, bank runs, bankruptcyand systemic collapse occurred. numerous competitive banks outside ofthe federal reserve system collapsed further consolidating the monopolyof the money trust cartel.

privy to this scheme, congressmancharles lindbergh pronounced: "under the federal reserve act,panics are scientifically created. the present panic is the firstscientifically created one worked out as we figure amathematical equation." however, the panic of1920 was just a warm-up. from 1921 to 1929 the fed againincreased the money supply resulting once again in extensiveloans to the public and banks. there was also a fairly new typeof loan in the stock market: the broker call loan.very simply

this loan allowed an investorto put down only a fraction of the stock's value, with therest being loaned from the broker. this method was very popularin the roaring '20s as everyone seemed to bemaking money in the market. however, there was acatch to this loan. it could be called in at any time,and had to be paid within 24 hours. and the typical result was the sellingof the stock purchased with that loan. a few months beforeoctober in 1929 jd rockefeller, bernardbaruck, and other insiders

quietly exited the market, knowing thebubble created was about to burst. on october 24th, 1929, the financierswho furnished the call loans started callingthem in, in mass. this sparked an instantaneous massivesell-off in the already inflated market as sell orders and margin callswere systemically triggered. that then lead to mass bank runs,eventually collapsing thousands of banks enabling the large banks to buy upthe now failed ones at a discount. but it didn't stop there. rather than expanding the moneysupply in order to recover

from this economic collapse,the fed actually contracted it fueling one of the largestdepressions in american history. outraged, congressman louismcfadden then chairman of the house banking committeefiled petition for impeachment against the federalreserve board, stating: "mr. chairman, wehave in this country one of the most corrupt institutionsthe world has ever known. i refer to the federal reserve boardand the federal reserve banks. this evil institution hasimpoverished and ruined the people

of the united states...and has practically bankrupted our government. it has done this through the defectsof the law under which it operates. through the maladministration of thatlaw by the federal reserve board and through the corrupt practices ofthe moneyed vultures who control it." having reduced thesociety to squalor it was then decided that thegold standard should be removed. in order to do this, they needed toacquire the remaining gold in the system. under the pretense of helpingto end the depression came the 1933 gold seizure.

under the threat of imprisonmentfor 10 years, everyone in america was required to turn in allgold bullion to the treasury essentially robbing the public of whatlittle real wealth they had left. at the end of 1933, the goldstandard was abolished. if you look at a dollar bill before1933, it says it is redeemable in gold. you look at the dollar bill today,it says it is legal tender which means it is backedby absolutely nothing. the only thing that gives ourmoney value is the public faith and how much of itis in circulation.

therefore, the power toregulate the money supply is also the power toregulate its value which is also the power to manipulateand control entire economies. "whoever controls the volumeof money in any country is absolute master of allindustry and commerce." james a. garfield, 20thpresident of the united states it is important toclearly understand: the federal reserve isa private corporation. it is about as 'federal'as federal express.

it makes its own policies andis under little regulation by the us government.it is a private bank that loans all the currencyat interest to the government completely consistent withthe central banking model that the country sought to escapefrom when it declared independence in the americanrevolutionary war. going back to 1913, the federalreserve act was not the only bill pushed through congress for thevested financial interests. they also pushed its partner:the federal income tax.

first of all, the federal incometax is completely unconstitutional as it is a direct,unapportioned tax. and the required number ofstates needed in order to ratify the amendment to allow theincome tax was never legally met and this has even been citedin modern court cases. "if you were to go back and try tofind and review the ratification of the 16th amendment...you would find that a sufficient number of states never ratified that amendment."- us district court judge jc fox, 2003 second, at the present day, roughly25% of the average worker's income

is taken from them via this tax. that means you work 3 monthsout of the year to fulfill this tax obligation andwhere does that money go? according to the gracecommission report of the '80s: "100% of what is collected isabsorbed solely by interest on the federal debt and byfederal government contributions to transfer payments. in other words,all individual income tax revenues are gone before one nickelis spent on the services which taxpayers expectfrom their government."

today, the money americans makeworking 3 months out of the year goes almost entirelyto the interest fees charged for thedebt-based fiat currency. the fact is, the federal income taxexists to feed the federal reserve federal government money machine making sure the interestpayments are always there. and 3) even with the government claimas to the legality of the income tax there is evidentlyno clear statute. no law in existence thatrequires you to pay this tax.

(former irs agent)i really expectedthat of course there's a law that you can pointto in the law book a code, that requires you to file tax return.of course there is! i was at that point where icouldn't find the statute that clearly madea person liable at least not me andmost people i know and i had no choice in mymind except to resign. based on the research that idid throughout the year 2000 and that i'm still doing, ihave not found that law!

i've asked congress, we've askeda lot of people in the irs the irs commissioners' helpers.they can't answer because if they answer, theamerican people are going to know that this wholething is a fraud. i haven't filed a federalincome tax return since i left. i have not filed a taxreturn since 1999. (joseph)now, the control of the economyand the manipulation of society for the vested financial powers isonly a part of the game being played. another level is thebusiness of war.

since the inception of thefederal reserve in 1913 a number of large and smallwars have commenced. the three most pronouncedmight be world war i world war 2 and vietnam. world war 1: in 1914european wars broke out centered aroundengland and germany. the american public wantednothing to do with the war. in turn, president woodrow wilsonpublicly declared neutrality. however, under the surface,evidence now shows

that the financial powersbehind the administration were looking for any excuseit could to enter it. it is important to understand thatone of the most lucrative things that can happen forthe bankers is war for it forces the country toborrow even more money at interest not to mention the profits generated throughthe financing of military productions. in the words of two-timecongressional medal of honor winner smedley d. butler "war is a racket.it always has been. it is possibly the oldest,easily the most profitable

and surely the most vicious.it is the only one international in scope and it is the only one in which theprofits are reckoned in dollars and the losses of lives." woodrow wilson's top adviser andmentor was colonel edward house a man found to haveintimate connections with the financialinterests of the time. in a conversation betweencolonel house, wilson's adviser and sir edward grey, theforeign secretary of england regarding america andthe war, grey inquired:

"what will america do ifgermans sink an ocean liner with american passengers on board?" house responded: "i believe that a flame of indignationwould sweep the united states and that by itself would besufficient to carry us into war." on may 7th 1915, a shipcalled the 'lusitania' was sent where german militaryvessels were known to be. as likely expected, germanu-boats torpedoed the ship exploding stored munitions,killing 1200 people. to further understand the obviousanticipation of this setup

the german embassy actually putadvertisements in the new york times telling people that if they boarded thelusitania they did so at their own risk as such a ship sailing from americato england through the war zone would be liable to destruction. in turn and as anticipated,the sinking of the lusitania created a wave of anger amongthe american population and america entered thewar a short time after. major general smedley d. butler summarizes the monetary realityof world war i:

"looking back, woodrow wilson wasre-elected president in 1916 on a platform that he had "kept us out of war".yet, five months later he asked congress to declare war on germany...the 4 million young men who put on uniforms and marchedor sailed away were not asked whether they wanted to goforth to suffer and die. then what caused our government tochange its mind so suddenly? money. an allied commission...came over shortly before the war declaration and called on the president, whosummoned a group of advisers. the head of the commission spoke.stripped of its diplomatic language

this is what he told the presidentand his group: "there is no use kidding ourselves any longer.the cause of the allies is lost. we now owe you american bankers,american munitions makers american manufacturers, americanspeculators, american exporters 5 or so billion dollars.if we lose (and without the help of the us we must lose), we,england, france and italy cannot pay back this money...and germany won't." it has been estimated by statisticians,economists and researchers that the war yielded $16 billion in profits.that is how the 21,000 billionaires

and millionaires got that way.this $16 billion profits is not to be sneezed at. it is quite a tidy sum.and it went to very few." world war ii on december 7th 1941, japan attackedthe american fleet at pearl harbor triggering us entryinto that war. president franklin d.roosevelt declared the attack was: 'a day that will live in infamy'.a day of infamy indeed but not because of the allegedsurprise attack on pearl harbor. after 60 years of surfacinginformation it is clear

that not only was the attackknown well in advance it was outrightwanted and provoked. in a journal entry by roosevelt'ssecretary of war henry stimson dated november 25th, 1941,he documented a conversation he had with roosevelt: "the questionwas how we should maneuver them into firing the first shot..." and in congressional testimony he later added: "it wasdesirable to make sure the japanese be the ones to do thisso that there should remain no doubt as to who were the aggressors."

in the months leading up tothe attack on pearl harbor roosevelt had done almosteverything in his power to anger the japanese, showinga posture of aggression. he halted all of japan'simports of american petroleum. he froze all the japaneseassets in the united states. he made public loans to nationalistchina and supplied military aid to the british, both enemiesof japan in the war which, by the way, was in completeviolation of international war rules. with numerous japanesecodes broken in advance

revealing the plan to attack,on december 7th 1941 japan was allowed to attack pearlharbor killing 2400 soldiers. before pearl harbor, 83% of theamerican public wanted nothing to do with the war. after pearl harbor one million menvolunteered for that war. it is important to note, nazi germany'swar effort was largely supported by two organizations, one ofwhich was called ig farben. ig farben produced 84%of germany's explosives. one of the unspokenpartners of ig farben

was jd rockefeller's standardoil company in america. the german air force could notoperate without a special additive patented by rockefeller'sstandard oil. the drastic bombing of londonby nazi germany for example was made possible by a $20 millionsale of fuel to ig farben by the rockefeller'sstandard oil company. this is just one small point on thetopic of how american businesses funded both sidesof world war ii. one other treasonousorganization worth mentioning

is the union bankingcorporation of new york city. not only did they finance numerousaspects of hitler's rise to power along with actualmaterials during the war it was also a nazi money launderingbank, which was eventually exposed for having millions of dollarsof nazi money in its vaults. the union banking corporation ofnew york was eventually seized for violations of thetrading with the enemy act. guess who the director and vicepresident of the union bank was? prescott bush, the father andgrandfather of former us president

george w.bush and george hw bush. vietnam: united states officialescalation and entry in the vietnam war came after an alleged incidentinvolving two us destroyers being attacked by north vietnamesept boats in the gulf of tonkin. this was known as thegulf of tonkin incident. this situation was the catalysticpretext for massive troop deployment and full fledged warfare.one problem, however the attack on the us destroyersby vietnamese pt boats never happened.

former secretary of defense robertmcnamara stated years later that the gulf of tonkinincident was a 'mistake' while declassified documentsreleased years later show that it was a farce, manipulatedfor the purposes of war and once in the war, itwas business as usual. in october 1966, president lyndonjohnson lifted trade restrictions on the soviet block knowingfull well that the soviets were providing upwards of 80% ofnorth vietnam's war supplies. consequently, the rockefellerinterests financed factories

in the soviet union, which thesoviets used to manufacture military equipment andsend it to north vietnam. however, the funding ofboth sides in this conflict was only one side of the coin. in 1985, vietnam's rules ofengagement were declassified. this detailed what american troops wereand were not allow to do in the war. it included such absurdities as: northvietnamese anti-aircraft missile systems could not be bombed until they wereknown to be fully operational. no enemy could be pursuedonce they crossed

the border of laos or cambodia. most revealing of all, the mostcritical strategic targets were not allow to be attacked, unlessinitiated by high military officials. apart from these illogical limitations,north vietnam was informed of these restrictions and thereforecould base entire strategies around the limitationsof the american forces. this is why the war went on for solong and the bottom line is this: the vietnam war was never meantto be won, just sustained. this war for profit and resourcesresulted in 58,000 american deaths

and 3 million dead vietnamese. where are we now? september 11th was the jump-startfor a hegemonic agenda enabling the possibility ofconstant global warfare. it was a staged war pretext no differentthan the sinking of the lusitania the provoking of pearl harborand the gulf of tonkin lie. if 9/11 wasn't aplanned war pretext it would be anexception to the rule. it has been used to launchtwo unprovoked illegal wars:

one against iraq and oneagainst afghanistan. however, 9/11 was the pretextfor another war as well. the war against you.the patriot act homeland security, themilitary tribunals act and other legislations areall completely designed to destroy your civil libertiesand protect those in power. currently in the united states,unannounced to most americans your home can be searched without awarrant, without you being home. you can in turn be detained indefinitelywith no charges revealed to you

no access to a lawyerand legally tortured. all under the suspicion thatyou might be a 'terrorist'. if you need a painted pictureof what is happening let's recognize howhistory repeats itself. in february 1933, hitlerstaged the false flag attack burning down his own germanparliament building the reichstag blaming it oncommunist terrorists. within the next few weekshe passed the enabling act which completely eradicatedthe german constitution

destroying people's liberties. he then led a series of preemptivewars, all justified as necessary to maintaining'homeland security'. an evil exists that threatensevery man, woman and child of this great nation.we must take steps to ensure our domestic security andprotect our homeland. george w. bush? adolf hitler when announcing thegestapo to the people.

on the matter of communismand its front organizations should not obscure the issues! our enemy is a radicalnetwork of terrorists and every governmentthat supports them. (p.joseph)it's time to wake up. the people in power go outof their way to make sure you are perpetuallymislead and manipulated. the majorities'perception of reality especially in the politicalarena is not their own.

it is shrewdly imposed upon themwithout them even knowing it. for example, the public at largenow believes the invasions of iraq and the middle east, alongwith the resulting instability are the consequences of politicaland military mistakes. what the public fails to see is thatthe destabilization of the middle east is exactly what thewestern interests want. this war is to be sustained, sothe region can be divided up domination of the oil maintained,continual profits reaped for defense contractors,and most obviously

permanent military bases establishedto be used as a launching pads against other oil bearing,non-conforming countries, such as iran. for further implication that themiddle east destabilization is purely intentional, in 2005,two elite british sas officers were arrested by iraqi policeafter being caught driving around in their car shooting at civilianswhile dressed up as arabs. after being arrested andtaken to a jail in basra the british army immediatelydemanded the release of these men. when the basra governmentrefused, british tanks came in

and physically broke out themen from the basra prison. (l. larouche)if you wish todestroy an area, how do you do it? there are two ways: you cango in there and bomb it but that is not very efficient. what you do is you try to get thepeople in that area to kill each other and to destroy there ownterritory, their own farms. and that's what hasbeen done in that area. the way in which you destroyan opponent is by getting him to destroy himself by dividinghis ranks against one another.

then you feed both sides, youhave agents feeding both sides inflaming both sides.and they kill each other off. it's time that some of uswoke up to this reality. to understand that people who try tomaintain empires and create empires do it by manipulating the peoplethey are trying to conquer. (p. joseph)you might want to askyourself why the entire culture is utterly saturated with massmedia entertainment from all sides while the educationalsystem in america continues its stupefying downward slide

since the us governmentdecided to take over and subsidize thepublic school system. (j. maxwell)what yourgovernment pays for, it gets. when we understand that, thenwe look at government financed institutions of education andsee the kind of students and the kind of educationthat is being turned out by these government-financedschools logic will tell you that if what isbeing turned out in those schools was not in accord with what the stateand the federal government wanted

then it would change it. the bottom line is that the governmentis getting what they have ordered. they do not want yourchildren to be educated. they do not want youto think too much. that is why ourcountry and our world has become so proliferatedwith entertainments mass media, television shows amusement parks, drugs, alcohol and every kind of entertainment, tokeep the human mind entertained.

so that you don't get in theway of important people by doing too much thinking. you had better wake up andunderstand that there are people who are guiding your lifeand you don't even know it. we are in a lot of trouble! because you people and 62 million other americansare listening to me right now. because less than 3 percentof you people read books. because less than 15 percentof you read newspapers.

because the only truth you knowis what you get over this tube. right now there is a whole, an entiregeneration that never knew anything that didn't comeout of this tube. this tube is the gospel,the ultimate revelation. this tube can make or breakpresidents, popes, prime ministers. this tube is the most awesome goddamnforce in the whole godless world and woe is us if it ever falls inthe hands of the wrong people. and when the largestcompany in the world controls the most awesomegoddamn propaganda force

in the whole godless worldwho knows what shit will be peddled fortruth on this network. so you listen to me.listen to me: television is not the truth. television is a goddamnedamusement park. television is a circus, a carnival,a traveling troop of acrobats story tellers, dancers, singers,jugglers, sideshow freaks lion tamers andfootball players. we are in the boredomkilling business!

but you people sit there dayafter day, night after night all ages, colors, creeds...we are all you know! you're beginning to believe theillusions we are spinning here. you are beginning to thinkthe tube is reality and that your ownlives are unreal. you do whatever the tube tells you.you dress like the tube eat like the tube, raiseyour children like the tube you even think like the tube.this is mass madness, you maniacs! in god's name you peopleare the real thing.

we are the illusion! (p. joseph)the last thing thepower establishment wants is a conscious informed publiccapable of critical thinking. this is why a continuallyfraudulent zeitgeist is output via religion, the mass media,and the educational system. it is in their interest to keepyou in a distracted naive bubble. and they are doing adamn good job of it. this is aaron russo, a filmmakerand former politician. to his left is nicholas rockefellerof the council on foreign relations.

after maintaining a close friendshipwith nicholas rockefeller aaron eventually ended the relationship,appalled by what he had learned. (a. russo)i got a call one dayfrom an attorney woman i knew and she said "would you like tomeet one of the rockefellers?" and i said "sure, i'd love to." and we became friends and he began to divulgea lot of things to me so he said to me one night: "there's going to be an event,aaron, and out of that event

you're going to see, we'regoing to go into afghanistan so we can run pipelines from the caspian sea.we are going to go into iraq to take the oil and establisha base in the middle east and we are going to go intovenezuela and get rid of chavez." the first two they have accomplished,chavez they didn't accomplish. and he said "you are goingto see guys going into caves looking for people they arenever going to find. " he was laughing about the factthat you have this war on terror and there is no real enemy,he was talking about

how by having this war onterror you can never win it because it is an eternal war. so you can always keep takingpeoples liberties away. and i said "how are you going toconvince people that this war is real?" and he said "by the media, which canconvince everybody that it's real. " you just keep talking about things, youkeep saying them over and over again and eventuallypeople believe it. you created the federalreserve in 1913 through lies. you create 9/11, whichis another lie.

through 9/11, then you arefighting a war on terror and all the sudden you go intoiraq, which was another lie and now they aregoing to do iran. it's all one thing leading toanother, leading to another... i would say to him "what are you doing this for?what's the point of this thing? you have all the moneyyou would ever want. you have all the power. you're hurting people.it's not a good thing." and he would say "what do youcare about the people for? take care of yourself andtake care of your family."

and then i said "so what arethe ultimate goals here?" he said "the ultimate goal isto get everyone in this world chipped with an rfid chip. and have all money be on those chipsand everything on those chips and if anybody wants to protestwhat we do, or violate what we want we just turn off their chip." (p. joseph)how far willthe sickness of power go? to what lengths willthose in control go in order to maintain andpreserve their positions?

we have a florida family who arereally pioneers in a brave new world. they have volunteeredto be the first ever to have microchip identificationdevices implanted into their bodies. after 9/11, i was really concernedwith the security of my family. i wouldn't mind having somethingplanted permanently in my arm that would identify me. (p. joseph)george orwell in his famed andpossibly prophetic work '1984', stated: "power is not a means,it is an end. the object of persecutionis persecution.

the object of torture is torture.the object of power is power." today, symptoms of a surveillancesociety continue to grow as irrational fearsof invisible enemies coupled with rising economicinstability spread across the globe. it is under this guise of securitythat we can foreshadow a world where everyone is tracked,everyone is on camera and everyone is subordinated. the most incredibleaspect of all: such totalitarianism would likelynot be forced upon the people.

rather, the peoplewill demand it. for the social manipulation of societythrough the generation of fear and division has completelyinhibited the culture. religion, patriotism,race, wealth class and every other form ofarbitrary separatist identification and thus conceit has served tocreate a controlled population utterly malleable inthe hands of the few. 'divide and conquer'is the motto and as long as people continueto see themselves as separate

from everything else, they lendthemselves to being completely enslaved. however, if the people ever realized thetruth of their relationship to nature and the truth of their personalpower to affect change the entire manufacturedzeitgeist that's preyed upon would collapse likea house of cards. (r. alpert)the wholesystem that we live in drills into us that we'repowerless, that we're weak that our society is evil,that it's crime ridden, etc. it's all a big, fat lie!

we are powerful, beautiful,extraordinary. there is no reason why we cannotunderstand who we truly are where we are going.there is no reason why the average individual cannot be fully empowered, weare incredibly powerful beings. - i think i spent30 years of my life the first 30, trying to become something.i wanted to become good at things i wanted to become good attennis, school and grades and everything i viewedin that perspective: i'm not ok the way i am, butif i got good at things...

i realized that ihad the game wrong. the game was to find outwhat i already was. (r. albert)now, in ourculture we have been trained for individual differencesto stand out. you look at each personand the immediate hit is: brighter, dumber, older,younger, richer, poorer and we make all thesedimensional distinctions put them into categoriesand treat them that way. and we get so that we only seeothers as separate from ourselves

in the ways in whichthey are separate. and one of the dramaticcharacteristics of experience is being with anotherperson and suddenly seeing the ways in which they are likeyou, not different from you. and experiencing the fact,that which is essence in you and which is essencein me, is indeed one. the understanding that there is no other.it is all one. i wasn't born richard albert, iwas just born as a human being and then i learned thiswhole business of who i am

and whether i'm good orbad, achieving or not all that's learnedalong the way. "when the power of loveovercomes the love of power the world will know peace."- sri chinmoy ghose (c. sagan)the old appeals to racial,sexual and religious chauvinism to rabid nationalist fervor,are beginning not to work. a new consciousness isdeveloping which sees the earth as a single organismand recognizes that an organism at warwith itself is doomed.

- bill hicks used to finishhis shows with this: "life's like a ridein an amusement park and when you go on ityou think it's real because that's howpowerful our minds are. the ride goes up anddown and round and round it has thrills and chills andit's very brightly colored. and it's very loud andit's fun for a while. some have been on the ride for a longtime and they begin to question: is this real?or is this just a ride?

and other people have rememberedand they come back to us and they say: 'hey, don'tworry, don't be afraid ever because this is just a ride." and we kill those people. shut him up i have got a lotinvested in this ride, shut him up! look at my furrows of worry... look at my big bank account and my family.this has to be real. it's just a ride. but we will kill thosegood guys who try and tell us that. have you ever notice that?and let the demons run amok...

but it doesn't matter,because it is just a ride and we can changeit anytime we want. it is only a choice. no effort, nowork, no job, no savings of money. just a choice right now. between fear and love. the revolution is now for detailed sources, explanationsand further information regarding the content in thisfilm, please download the free "companion source guide" from www.zeitgeistthefilm.com
