In the article linked to below, Associated Press journalist Dale Gavlak claims to have interviewed rebel fighters in Damascus who have acknowledged responsibility for the recent gas attacks. They say the chemical weapons were supplied by Saudi Arabia and went of accidentally as they did not understand what they were dealing with.
Possibly the most important piece of news in the world today.
Apparently the documentary evidence for this has just been declassified, but it's been commonly known for years. Here's ex CIA officer turned Peace Activist Ray McGovern to explain how the US aided Saddam Hussein's war against Iran in the 1980's, whilst turning a blind eye to his use of chemical weapons.

Two-Sided
Story is a powerful documentary that charts what happened when
Palestinians from a range of different religious and political
backgrounds met with a group of Israelis, from similarly diverse
backgrounds. The film is funny, sad and moving. Without taking sides
it provides a very illuminating insight into what actually happens
when people from opposing sides sit down together, listen to what the
other has to say and see each other as human beings.
The
film has been produced by The Parents Circle Family Forum, a charity
which consists of a group of more than 500 Palestinian and Israeli
families who believe that retaliation is not a useful response to
violence. All of them have lost close relatives to inter-communal
violence, and are determined to spare others what they have suffered. The Forum runs a wide variety of educational, social and artistic
projects in Israel and the Palestinian territories and due to
generous sponsorship from the Claremont Hotel, The One World Centre,
and the Isle of Man Interfaith Group, 100% of the cost of a ticket
will go to supporting this work.
Human rights journalist Diane Taylor who works with the
charity, will be visiting the Island and after the film will lead a discussion/questions and answers session.

Another thing I
discovered is that the concept of using the weather as a weapon, far
from being science fiction, actually already happened nearly fifty
years ago. In 1965 during the Vietnam War the US Military used
silver iodide to cloud seed over North Vietnamese supply lines in
Laos. Operation Popeye, as it was called, is estimated to have
extended the monsoon season for at least an additional month. This
was done with the intention of flooding the the supply lines and
causing as much hindrance to the North Vietnamese as possible. It's
unofficial slogan became, 'make mud not war.'
Fast forward to 1996
and the US Air Force gave us their report 'Weather as a Force
Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025', a document that discusses
the potential for the future weaponization of the weather:
'In 2025, US aerospace
forces can “own the weather” by capitalizing on emerging
technologies and focusing development of
those technologies to war-fighting applications. Such a capability
offers the war fighter tools to shape the battlespace in ways never
before possible. It provides opportunities to impact operations
across the full spectrum of conflict and is pertinent to all possible
futures. The purpose of this paper is to outline a strategy for the
use of a future weather-modification system to achieve military
objectives rather than to provide a detailed technical road map.
A high-risk,
high-reward endeavor, weather-modification offers a dilemma not
unlike the splitting of the atom. While some segments of society will
always be reluctant to examine controversial issues such as
weather-modification, the tremendous military capabilities that could
result from this field are ignored at our own peril. From enhancing
friendly operations or disrupting those of the enemy via small-scale
tailoring of natural weather patterns to complete dominance of global
communications and counterspace control, weather-modification offers
the war fighter a wide-range of possible options to defeat or coerce
an adversary.'*
Most disturbingly the 'tremendous military capabilities' include the ability to deny fresh water and induce drought.
Even if
you accept the papers claim that weather weaponization research
halted after the Vietnam War (which does seem unlikely), still from the date
the paper was written we are now two thirds of the way to when the US
Military expects to 'own the weather'! It appears we now live in a
strange world where whenever extreme weather events occur, we simply
don't know if they're natural or man made, intentionally or not.
Well I went to the
presentation on Geo-engineering (for which chemtrails it seems is
something of a laymen’s term) and I found it very
interesting. I certainly now understand why people are so concerned about this issue! I've been looking into it these past few days but it's
all still very new to me at this moment, all I can do for now is
post one of the videos we were shown on the subject of cloud seeding
and its wider environmental implications. Maybe I Just haven't been
paying attention but I was really quite shocked at the extent to
which governments are using the technique of cloud seeding to increase rain fall, I
checked the sources and this much all appears to be quite factual. Beyond that, at
the moment I can't speak to the potential toxic effects of spraying
silver iodide into the atmosphere or the wider implication seeding
clouds may have on the climate, but it's something somebody certainly should be concerned about!
The film is called 'Skywatcher: The Incredible Story of Artificial Clouds and Weather
Modification', it's shocking, very interesting and well worth watching
The website for the film contains a good deal of documentation backing up its claims: http://artificialclouds.com/

The Vigilant Citizen
has completed his three part series into the esoteric, occult and
black magic symbolism encoded in Stanley Kubrick's last film, Eyes
Wide Shut. Whether you agree with him or not that Kubrick was
revealing knowledge of how the elite in the real world operate,
gathering at mansions to preform dark magical rituals, I think you'll
have to concede that his analysis of the depth of the symbolism in
the film is incredible.
Just to balance out the line being presented by William Hague and the majority of the British media, here's Patrick Henningsen explaining why he feels it's unlikely that the Syrian Government are behind the recent alleged chemical attacks.
You can read Patrick's article as well as a host of other good articles on this issue at the Centre for Research on Globalization:
When Ian R Crane spoke
on the Isle of Man last month one of the issues that raised the most
controversy and disagreement amongst the audience was that of
'chemtrails', the idea that whole populations are being sprayed with
chemicals from aeroplanes. The suspected purpose of this ranges from
anything between weather modification to population control. I
personally know next to nothing about it, but out of all the things
Ian said it's probably the issue people have mentioned to me most
since, either to say it deeply concerns them, or that that is where
they lost Ian's narrative completely.
A talk/discussion has
been organised on the Isle of Man to investigate this issue further,
it's taking place this coming Wednesday at the South Douglas Old
Friends Club and I've copied the information from the poster in
below. Everyone is welcome.
My entire knowledge of
the subject is basically contained within the following video, that
there is at least historical precedence of the US military using planes to spray US citizens with chemical concoctions to test the effects.

Amazingly people didn't all stop buying cannabis when the government told them to, rather they just started buying it from criminals instead. Contains some dramatic footage.

On a previous post on
this blog I described schools as being 'prisons for children', I
would challenge anyone to explain to me how this is not the case.
Here's the earlier post, it's actually probably my favorite one so far:
atomic bomb survivors sniveling in the darkness . . .
not a single candle between them . . .
the odor of blood . . .
the stench of death . . .
the sickly-sweet smell of decaying humanity . . .
the groans . . .
the moans . . .
Out of all that, suddenly, miraculously, a voice:
"The baby's coming!"
In the hellish basement, unexpectedly,
a young mother had gone into labor.
In the dark, lacking a single match, what to do?
Scrambling to her side,
forgetting their own . . .
By Hiroshima Survivor Kurihara Sadako, translated by Michael R. Burch*
Today is the
anniversary of the Atomic bombing of Hiroshima. I'm copying a
section of a John Pilger article to the blog, where he refutes the
notion that this act of mass murder was in any way necessary to end
the war, but rather was about establishing US Imperial domination in
the post war world.
"When I first went to Hiroshima in 1967, the shadow on the steps was still there. It was an almost perfect impression of a human being at ease: legs splayed, back bent, one hand by her side as she sat waiting for a bank to open. At a quarter past eight on the morning of August 6, 1945, she and her silhouette were burned into the granite. I stared at the shadow for an hour or more, then walked down to the river and met a man called Yukio, whose chest was still etched with the pattern of the shirt he was wearing when the atomic bomb was dropped.
He and his family still lived in a shack thrown up in the dust of an atomic desert. He described a huge flash over the city, "a bluish light, something like an electrical short", after which wind blew like a tornado and black rain fell. "I was thrown on the ground and noticed only the stalks of my flowers were left. Everything was still and quiet, and when I got up, there were people naked, not saying anything. Some of them had no skin or hair. I was certain I was dead." Nine years later, when I returned to look for him, he was dead from leukaemia.
In the immediate aftermath of the bomb, the allied occupation authorities banned all mention of radiation poisoning and insisted that people had been killed or injured only by the bomb's blast. It was the first big lie. "No radioactivity in Hiroshima ruin" said the front page of the New York Times, a classic of disinformation and journalistic abdication, which the Australian reporter Wilfred Burchett put right with his scoop of the century. "I write this as a warning to the world," reported Burchett in the Daily Express, having reached Hiroshima after a perilous journey, the first correspondent to dare. He described hospital wards filled with people with no visible injuries but who were dying from what he called "an atomic plague". For telling this truth, his press accreditation was withdrawn, he was pilloried and smeared - and vindicated.
The atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a criminal act on an epic scale. It was premeditated mass murder that unleashed a weapon of intrinsic criminality. For this reason its apologists have sought refuge in the mythology of the ultimate "good war", whose "ethical bath", as Richard Drayton called it, has allowed the west not only to expiate its bloody imperial past but to promote 60 years of rapacious war, always beneath the shadow of The Bomb.
The most enduring lie is that the atomic bomb was dropped to end the war in the Pacific and save lives. "Even without the atomic bombing attacks," concluded the United States Strategic Bombing Survey of 1946, "air supremacy over Japan could have exerted sufficient pressure to bring about unconditional surrender and obviate the need for invasion. Based on a detailed investigation of all the facts, and supported by the testimony of the surviving Japanese leaders involved, it is the Survey's opinion that ... Japan would have surrendered even if the atomic bombs had not been dropped, even if Russia had not entered the war and even if no invasion had been planned or contemplated."
The National Archives in Washington contain US government documents that chart Japanese peace overtures as early as 1943. None was pursued. A cable sent on May 5, 1945 by the German ambassador in Tokyo and intercepted by the US dispels any doubt that the Japanese were desperate to sue for peace, including "capitulation even if the terms were hard". Instead, the US secretary of war, Henry Stimson, told President Truman he was "fearful" that the US air force would have Japan so "bombed out" that the new weapon would not be able "to show its strength". He later admitted that "no effort was made, and none was seriously considered, to achieve surrender merely in order not to have to use the bomb". His foreign policy colleagues were eager "to browbeat the Russians with the bomb held rather ostentatiously on our hip". General Leslie Groves, director of the Manhattan Project that made the bomb, testified: "There was never any illusion on my part that Russia was our enemy, and that the project was conducted on that basis." The day after Hiroshima was obliterated, President Truman voiced his satisfaction with the "overwhelming success" of "the experiment"."
The full article goes on to address the current nuclear situation in the Middle East, you can read it at:
“It
is well known that the libertarian political philosophy is
antagonistic to coercively imposed rules that limit people's freedom
to use their private property as they see fit. Indeed, the very
essence of libertarianism is the nonaggression principle that
condemns the initiation of force against person or property. As a
result, libertarians have been critical of zoning laws, which
restrict the ability of property owners to develop their property or
use it for their desired purposes.”

I was in the studio
when Ian Crane was being interviewed on the local radio station during his
visit to the Isle of Man a couple of weeks ago. I had to suppress a
laugh when the presenter asked him if he knew anything about
conspiracies on the Isle of Man, Ian said he didn't, but that they
would almost certainly involve property developers, as they're
corrupt everywhere.
I blogged a while back
about the plight of Charlie Hague and Megan Williams, how they'd
built a beautiful eco-house, which the local council wanted to tear
down because they didn't acquire planning permission. You can see my
rather irate post on it here:
Charlie and Meg have
started an online petition which they intend to present to
Pembrokeshire County Council and the Welsh Assembly, to gain
retrospective planning permission. You can help them out by signing
it at the following link:
For me the issue is not
that this house is beautiful, frankly they could have
plonked a concrete block in the middle of their land and I'd still
sign the petition. It's about whether the world is going to work
better when people make decisions on how to develop their own private
property, or whether we need a group of self appointed experts
dictating to everyone else what they can and can't do with their own
land. I know which one the corporate property developers think is
the best option.

from history are doomed to repeat it.*
The organisation
Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth has launched a campaign to
have the above 'ReThink9/11' posters displayed prominently across
eleven major cities, nine in the US and Canada, plus Sydney and
London. AE9/11Truth has gone from having one founding member in
2006, to just shy of two thousand today, and they're not ready to let
the events of September 11th 2001 pass into history just yet! With seven
days to go they've nearly reached their fund-raising goal, so please
watch their video below and consider supporting this endeavour.
There are various
videos on the site explaining the campaign, I'm just linking to the
one by Dr. Graeme MacQueen as I particularly like it. I linked to a
presentation before by Dr. MacQueen, back in January when he spoke at
the 9/11 Revisited Conference, regarding the anthrax attacks.
Today is the 49th
anniversary of the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, where then US President
Lyndon Johnson completely lied to the American people about a US Navy
ship being attacked in the Gulf of Tonkin, to justify initiating a
genocide in Vietnam. Here's Alex Jones to explain:1
The following is a
section from John Pilger's book 'Heroes' and describes the Gulf of
Tonkin incident as well as other distortions the CIA and wider
Military Industrial Complex used to goad the American people into
consenting to this slaughter.
"During
the spring and summer of 1964 the United States organised commando
raids from the South against the North, using South Vietnamese and
landing them from the sea. Hence, Washington was already engaged in
unprovoked hostilities against Vietnam. An American spy ship, the USS
Maddox, took part in this action. On August 2 the Maddox fired on two
torpedo boats off the coast of North Vietnam in the Gulf of Tonkin. The boats had neither attacked the Maddox nor returned its fire. Two
days later Captain John J. Herrick, on the bridge of the Maddox,
noticed two 'mysterious dots' on his radar screen and concluded they
were torpedo boats. It was a blustering, stormy night and visibility
was nil. Again, no attack materialised. However, Herrick had sent an
emergency call to his headquarters in Honolulu and this was passed
quickly to President Johnson, who was 'furious' and wanted to order
the bombing of North Vietnam immediately. A few hours later a cable
arrived from Captain Herrick. It read:
Freak
weather effects on radar and over eager sonar men . . . No actual
visual sightings by Maddox. Suggest complete evaluation before any
further action taken.
President
Johnson asked his Defence Secretary, Robert McNamara, for urgent
'clarification' while he prepared to address the nation. Captain
Herrick cabled back that there was 'a confusing picture', although he
was now certain that the report of an attack was 'bona fide'. What he
did not say, until 1985, was that this confirmation of a 'bona fide'
attack was based on 'intercepted North Vietnamese communications'
which he had not seen. Johnson's television speech was now written;
America was going to war. But a third cable now arrived from the
Maddox in which Captain Herrick reverted to his original doubts. Half
an hour after this was received, and ignored, the President was on
networked television telling his fellow Americans, 'Renewed hostile
actions against United States ships on the high seas have today
required me to order the military forces of the United States to take
action in reply.'
This
became known as the 'Gulf of Tonkin Incident' and as a direct result,
a resolution was sent by the White House to Congress seeking
authority for the United States to invade Vietnam. Seven years were
to pass before the Pentagon Papers, the official 'secret history' of
the war, would reveal that administration officials had drafted the
'Gulf of Tonkin Resolution' two months before the alleged attack on
the Maddox. On August 7,1964 Congress authorised President Johnson to
take 'all measures' to protect US forces from 'any armed attack'. American-planned sabotage attacks increased against the North. Six
months later the State Department published a White Paper whose
centrepiece was the 'provocation' of the 'Gulf of Tonkin Incident',
together with seven pages of 'conclusive proof' of Hanoi's
preparations to invade the South. This 'proof' stemmed from the
discovery of a cache of weapons found floating in a junk off the
coast of central Vietnam. The White Paper, which would provide the
legal justification for the American invasion, was, in the words of
Ralph McGehee, a 'master illusion'. McGehee told me:
Black
propaganda was when the US Government spoke in the voice of the
enemy, and there is a very famous example. In 1965 the CIA loaded up
a junk, a North Vietnamese junk, with communist weapons ... the
Agency maintains communist arsenals in the United States and around
the world. They floated this junk off the coast of Central Vietnam. Then they shot it up and made it look like a fire fight had taken
place. Then they brought in the American press and the international
press and said, 'Here's evidence that the North Vietnamese are
invading South Vietnam. 'Based on this evidence two Marine battalion
landing teams went into Danang and a week after that the American air
force began regular bombing of North Vietnam.
The
bombing was code-named 'Operation Rolling Thunder' and was the
longest campaign in the history of aerial bombardment. Few outsiders
saw its effects on the civilian population of the North. I was one
who did. Against straw and flesh was sent an entirely new range of
bombs, from white phosphorus (1966) to 'anti-personnel' devices which
discharged thousands of small needles (1971). North Vietnam then had
no air force with which to defend itself. The scale of the American
bombing in the mid-1960s, both in the North and South, together with
the American-directed terror of the South, eventually persuaded Ho
Chi Minh to send regular army units south in support of those South
Vietnamese opposing the American invasion.
This
was not how propaganda in the United States explained the origins of
the war. Neither is it how many people remember the war today. In the
opinion poll quoted at the beginning of this chapter, in which more
than a third of those questioned expressed confusion as to who were
'our allies', almost two-thirds said they were aware that the United
States had 'sided with South Vietnam'. As Noam Chomsky has pointed
out, this is the equivalent of being aware that Nazi Germany sided
with France in 1940 and the Soviet Union now sides with Afghanistan.
The
accredited version of events has not changed. It is that noncommunist
South Vietnam was invaded by communist North Vietnam and that the
United States came to the aid of the 'democratic' regime in the
South. This of course is untrue, as documentation I have touched upon
makes clear. That Ho Chi Minh waited so long before sending a regular
force to resist the American attacks seems, in retrospect,
extraordinary; or perhaps it was a testament to the strength and
morale of those South Vietnamese who had taken up arms in defence of
their villages and their homeland. In 1965 the American
counter-insurgency adviser, John Paul Vann, wrote in a memorandum
addressed to his superiors in Washington that 'a popular political
base for Government of South Vietnam does not now exist' and the
majority of the people in South Vietnam 'primarily identified' with
the National Liberation Front.
When
the US marines finally 'stormed ashore' at Danang in central Vietnam
on March 6, 1965 they were bemused to find that there were no
'Vietcong' defending the beaches, dug in like the Japanese in all
those Second World War movies. Instead, there were incredulous
fishermen and curious children and beautiful girls with flowing black
hair, wearing silk dresses, split at the waist, and offering posies
of flowers. Men in white shirts had supplied the flowers and they
watched from a distance as the press photographers and the film crews
recorded this moving illusion of welcome, while the jungles and
highlands beyond cast a blood-red shadow no one saw. Ten years, one
month and eighteen days were to pass before the last marine left,
pursued by an embittered mob up the stairwell in his country's
fortress embassy.
During
those years the United States dispatched its greatest ever land army
to Vietnam, and dropped the greatest tonnage of bombs in the history
of warfare, and pursued a military strategy deliberately designed to
force millions of people to abandon their homes, and used chemicals
in a manner which profoundly changed the environmental and genetic
order, leaving a once bountiful land petrified. At least 1,300,000
people were killed and many more were maimed and otherwise ruined;
58,022 of these were Americans and the rest were Vietnamese. President Reagan has called this a 'noble cause'."2
