Thanks, Robert Sterling Editor, The Konformist http://www.konformist.com http://www.konformist.com/911/911.htm World Trade Center-Pentagon Terror Attacks News http://www.konformist.com/911/911.htm Album Cover of the Year: Nominee 1 http://www.konformist.com/911/album1.htm Wednesday September 12 4:04 PM ET Hip-Hop Group Yanks Album Cover Depicting WTC Blast By Sue Zeidler LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Striking a macabre note, a new album cover by hip-hop band The Coup -- whose music has a strong anti-capitalist bent -- had until recently depicted the World Trade Center exploding, the band's label said on Wednesday. ``We changed the artwork as soon as we saw what had happened,'' said Daria Kelly, director of sales for 75 Ark, the band's label. Kelly said the picture, which eerily shows group member ''Boots'' Riley holding a detonator in front of the exploding towers, was yanked from the San Francisco-based company's Web site at (http://www.75ark.com) by 9:30 a.m. PDT on Tuesday, hours after two hijacked airliners actually smashed into the World Trade Center's twin towers and brought them down, possibly causing thousands of deaths. Kelly said the artwork was done about two months ago for the band's upcoming album, ``Party Music,'' which features a single called ``5 Million Ways to Kill a CEO'' and is due to hit stores on November 6. ``We were going to print them this week. Thank goodness we hadn't yet printed them,'' she said, adding that the new album cover would probably just bear the band's logo. While the label quickly moved to delete the image -- which shows explosions in the towers at about the same level as the actual blasts -- the picture has begun to circulate on the Internet and generate a lot of reaction. It was featured Wednesday on lifestyle-culture Web site at (http://www.ammocity.com) accompanied by the following message: ''The album cover for hip-hop group 'The Coup' manages to even outweird the quotes from Nostradamus doing the email rounds today.'' Kelly said she had not received any e-mails about the cover, noting it hadn't been circulated by the label very much. ``We just started press about a month ago,'' she said describing the Oakland, Calif.-band's music as focusing on the ''destruction of corporate America.'' The band, considered among the more overtly political rap bands, was formed in the early 1990s. Lead rapper/producer Boots Riley, whose real name is Raymond Riley, was involved in political activism before becoming a musician, according to music industry sources. Released in 1993, the Coup's debut album ``Kill My Landlord'' was a highly charged blend of leftist resistance and 70s funk, which received wide critical praise.

September 11: As I sit typing this here in New York City, the radio is blaring news of hijacked planes crashing into the World Trade Center. Instantly, I feared for friends who work in the area. Next, overwhelmed by the inevitability I felt, I made a mental laundry list of suspects. Most observers, of course, will reflexively start with the generic term: "Arab." It's enlightening that Westerners use that word to describe people as diverse as Yemenis and Syrians, but never use "European" to label both an Irishman and a Swede. While it's clear that only a few groups had the resources to pull off such a coordinated onslaught, I still couldn't help but wonder who has the U.S. pissed off enough to warrant violent revenge? I started in our hemisphere and thought of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador . . . by the time I got to Colombia, I changed that to one entry: The entire Western Hemisphere (except non-Quebec Canada). Looking eastward, I thought of the Hawaiian sovereignty movement, North Korea, East Timor, the Philippines, Laos, Burma, and Vietnam before I realized that the term "East Asia" would suffice. Moving right along, Kashmir, Sri Lanka, Tibet, a whole gaggle of former Soviet republics (plus Chechnya), and the entire Middle East (except Israel) all had acceptable motives. In Europe, there's Bosnian Serbs, Serbian Croats, Croatian Muslims, ethnic Albanians, the Red Brigade, the Basques, or even the IRA (to name but a few). The whole continent of AfricaÜfrom Libya to Nigeria to Zaire to Rwanda to the SudanÜcould justifiably plead self-defense. But what about right here at home? Well, you1ve got a small army of anti-abortion zealots, the Bo Gritz "UN is gonna take over the world" crowd, a devoted group of followers waiting for David Koresh to return, the Nation of Islam, assorted neo-Nazis and skinheads, and Rush1s fans with the means. Toss in anguished welfare recipients, veterans denied benefits, Gulf War vets with a strange disease, the American Indian Movement, and you have plenty of homegrown suspects, indeed. By the time you read this, the FBI will have most likely identified the culprits and the media will be busy obscuring the real issues, but it might be worth your time to contemplate exactly how much misery - domestic and/or foreign - your tax dollars are responsible for. In fact, in lieu of the U.S. breeding so much fear, paranoia, exploitation, oppression, torture, and death at home and across the globe, it's surprising this kind of thing doesn't happen more often. Maybe this is just a very frightening start. As Malcolm X remarked about the JFK assassination: "The chickens have come home to roost." As long as U.S. citizens passively allow their tax dollars to fund a violent empire and a repressive domestic policy, there are no legitimately innocent bystanders in this country. We're all complicit in our own way and thus we1re all fair game for revenge. Sweet dreams, comrades. http://www.konformist.com/911/lenhorowitz.htm [EMAIL PROTECTED] (horowitz) From: Dr. Len Horowitz Subject: "Terrorist" Attacks on America Please Feel Free To Forward This Letter To Those You Care About! September 12, 2001 My dear friend, We, like most Americans, are now processing shock and dismay over the September 11, 2001 "Attack on America." In the business of collecting and disseminating intelligence regarding various forms of terrorism, we have been predicting such horrific realities for months, even years. To have these prophesies manifest, leaves remorse beyond description. My colleagues and I are additionally pained by our collective inability to stop the generally unrecognized forces of evil orchestrating these events…. Forces we have identified and continue to professionally expose. On this "day after," following yesterday's tragic losses, the last glimmer of hope that Americans might be shaken out of complacency, even by these horrific attacks on our home soil, is now gone. Filling this void, we are simply aghast by the manner in which the mainstream news media is spinning the public's mind. We, like more sheep to slaughter, are being directed more rapidly now, towards the emergence of a New World Order out of this chaos and coming cataclysms. Diagnosing the Media Spin What do I mean by media spin? Did you know that our government's and media's alleged greatest nemesis, said to be responsible for most terrorist attacks against the United States—Osama bin Laden—took his direction and money from the CIA for at least eight years. (See story at http://www.msnbc.com/news/190144.asp#BODY) This also implicates, by association, the British Oligarchy's MI6. According to previous MI6 officer, Dr. John Coleman, the CIA is largely subordinate to British intelligence agencies and the Royal family. Through the MI6 and numerous oligarchy-controlled "think tanks," America's propaganda mills--major news networks and agencies-- churn out foul fabrications. Osama bin Laden, the Islamic devil incarnate, is a classic creation of this spin. This evening (Sept. 12) I watched a CBS Evening News special report with Dan Rather. He interviewed Milt Bearden, a retired high ranking CIA officer with "deep experience in the Sudan and Afganistan." Here he apparently directed bin Laden's covert CIA operation known as Maktab al-Khidamar—the MAK. Mr. Rather asked Bearden if he thought bin Laden was responsible for the terrorist "Attack on America." Bearden downright snubbed the possibility. Instead, he explained, a far more sophisticated intelligence operation had to be behind these precise coordinated attacks. Rather, committed to demonizing bin Laden restated his concern. "Look," Bearden surprisingly blurted, referring to the intelligence organization(s)responsible for the terrorist attack, "if they didn't have an Osama bin Laden, they would invent one." As soon as Bearden left the set, Rather returned to demonizing bin Laden. What Lies Ahead? Most people tonight are questioning, "What's next?" With great graveness of heart, I must inform you that this saddest of times marks a new beginning for more horrendous terrorist attacks to come. Add to this environmental catastrophes, and politically contrived intoxications of highly susceptible populations. . . . Especially those living in urban America. Also this evening, previous Secretary of Defense for the Clinton administration, William S. Cohen, returned to CBS. He was asked the same question, "What lies ahead?" He replied that the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington were an aberration. He fully expected there to be a full-scale deployment of biological and chemical "weapons of mass destruction" very soon. What to Do? My first recommendation is for you to work through your remaining shock and denial as quickly as possible. You may then be prepared to responsibly address, for your children's sake if not your own, the genocides to come. What else can you do to prepare and protect your family? Know and understand the nature of the enemy, and the dangers posed by this stealth "beast." Shortly, I will be e-mailing you more on this subject. I will continue to work to keep you abreast of the latest intelligence we gather that can help you and your loved ones be safe, and save lives. In the meantime, if you have not yet purchased my new book, "Death in the Air: Globalism, Terrorism, and Toxic Warfare," it is urgent that you get a copy as soon as possible. You may do so by clicking on http://www.tetrahedron.org. This text provides all the documented intelligence you need to recognize the "beast" and its current operations. People have written that this is my best work to date. It provides in-depth analysis that may be crucial to you and your family's survival in the months ahead. Regarding my previous communications predicting increased terrorist attacks, and the deployment of biological and chemical weapons, I again refer you to our website for many excellent links, articles and health resources with which to prepare your "temple of God" to defend against the current and predicted plagues. For the benefit of immunity and humanity, beginning in a few weeks, we will also be hosting a Healing Celebrations website at http://www.healingcelebrations.com. God bless you, our bleeding country, and our troubled world. Sincerely yours in sadness, Len Horowitz http://www.konformist.com/911/jimmarrs.htm Jim Marrs [EMAIL PROTECTED] 9/13/2001 WHO'S TRULY BEHIND THE ATTACK ON AMERICA? Many people have compared the horrendous terrorist attack on New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon in Washington to the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. It is an apt comparison, though not for the reasons most people think. For true students of history, it is now nearly beyond dispute that certain high-ranking officials in Washington, D. C. knew in advance of the Japanese intention to attack the U.S. fleet in Hawaii, yet did nothing to prevent it. President Roosevelt, who at the time was blatantly violating the Neutrality Act, has been quoted as saying, "A Japanese attack on us.would certainly fulfill two of the most important requirements of our policy [to engage America in the war despite his pledge to keep us out of war.]" Must the citizens of the United States wait another 50 years to learn that the 9-11 terrorist attack was allowed to take place just like Pearl Harbor? Could such an appalling scenario possibly be true? Consider the comment of Kenneth Katzman, a terrorist expert with the Congressional Research Service, who told the Washington Post, "How nothing could have been picked up [by U.S. intelligence agencies regarding the coming attack] is beyond me." Simple countermeasures against such an attack now seem apparent. For example, if the airlines would assigned just one armed plainclothes security man to each flight, this tragedy may have been averted since apparently the hijackers were armed only with knives or other type blades. So, how were they able to overpower a plane load of people and, more importantly, gain access to the cockpits? Who taught them to fly jumbo jets? As in the case of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the key to understanding the event lies not in who actually committed the violence but rather who was able to strip away the normal security protection. Government and airline officials knew immediately that planes had been hijacked, yet no interceptors appeared in the air until after the attacks were completed. Who stripped away the normal security protection of America on 9-11? At least in this most recent case, the government cannot blame the attack on a lone deranged individual, some Lee Harvey McVeigh. They must deal with a full-blown conspiracy, even though authorities were quick to point the finger at Osama bin-Laden. Any investigation of bin-Laden must look beyond the man, to the backers and financiers behind him. The trail of the terrorists will most probably become murky, with plenty of accusations for all concerned. But one thing appears quite clear, the tragic events of 9-11 play right into the hands of persons with an agenda aimed at eroding American liberties and sovereignty. After decades of bloated and misused defense budgets, there are now calls for doubling our defense allocation. In a time of rising recognition that the CIA is an agency never sought by the public and one which has brought so much condemnation on this nation, there are now cries for doubling its size and budget. If the chief security officer for a large company fails to protect one of its most prized assets, is he more likely to be fired or have his pay doubled? Watch for more anti-terrorist legislation to further shred the U.S. Constitution. As we all scramble to deal with the effects of terrorism, are we in danger of losing our few remaining individual liberties? The media blithely reported that each of the cell phone calls made by doomed passengers on the hijacked airliners was recorded by the government. Doesn't this mean that all cell phone calls are, or can be, recorded? Whatever happened to telephone privacy? Where is the indignant outcry over such Big Brotherism. But the biggest threat comes from the inner elite of the globalist societies. Within hours of the attack, the television and radio airwaves were full of ranking Council on Foreign Relations members, such as Henry Kissinger, Wesley Clark, Alexander Haig and Strobe Talbot. Talbot, President Clinton's deputy secretary of state, told Time magazine in 1992, "In the next century [today], nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority." No matter who was speaking, their "party line" was the same: terrible tragedy, find and punish those responsible, stop terrorism. But, of course, since terrorists move between national boundaries, we must joined with other "freedom loving" nations and work with the United Nations and NATO to combat this new menace. This is a thinly- disguised effort to have a mourning and emotional American public stampeded into their New World Order. Also, consider that we are distracted from a faltering economy [the current crisis may require more federal financial controls], a plummeting public opinion of George W. Bush and surging energy prices. Would leaders allow a public disaster to happen with an eye toward advancing their agendas? It's happened before. in Nero's burning Rome, Germany's gutted Reichstag, at Pearl Harbor and gain at the Gulf of Tonkin. While we should grieve for our losses, we must keep our heads. When the emotions of the moment run hot, we must remain cool and thoughtful so that we can find who is truly behind this attack on America.

It was heading fast to martial law early on here, and they were clamping the exits. So, I packed a bag and went to see friends beyond the play zone. Nasty stuff. The non-response (ground to air missiles -ed) as the Dulles plane flew over the White House and turned to go into the Pentagon is inexplicable that late in the scenario unless this was in inside job. I am sure there is a false sponsor ready to be handed to us. Now the global corporate/military state will divide the world into "freedom loving free market people" and "terrorists" (meaning anyone who stands up to the neoliberal takeover) and act in unison against them with impunity. The Congressional consensus will be used to bolster Pentagon budgets, create excessive security measures, limit civil liberties, unleash open CIA skulduggery, and attack progressive movements here and abroad. Retaliation militarily is the most likely and the worst possible response to this, it will escalate it into a permanent war. Rumsfeld told the troops today to be ready to make many more sacrifices for a while. The fraudulent and failed missile defense will get funded I am sure. But no one is asking the most basic question. If this is foreign in origin (which I think it really is not), then WHY is it happening? It is not happening in Canada, for instance (another large, relatively wealthy country of "freedom-loving" people) who also have an international presence and policy. The rationale for "terrorism" only exists when there is long term injustice and oppression to a weakened people, and without that these activities would be isolated without sanction or support anywhere. The old saying is "If you treat people right, you can leave your door open". No amount of military retaliation and advanced security measures can do anything helpful because they discourage the self examnination necessary to begin to act with justice to the world around us, to end corporate globalism and aggression, and to stop making 75% of our "aid" to others in the form of weapons, not to mention training and arming the likes of bin Laden to turn them around on us. If we stop creating enemies then we don't have to be a fortress state of frightened people. At some point, the chickens come home to roost. Sometimes, we bring them."
