In his remarks marking the passage of nine years since the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington on 11 September, 2001, President Obama said Americans ought to remain true to their values and refuse to paint all Muslims as terrorists.
“The highest honor we can pay those we lost, indeed our greatest weapon in this ongoing war, is to do what our adversaries fear the most – to stay true to who we are, as Americans; to renew our sense of common purpose; to say that we define the character of our country, and we will not let the acts of some small band of murderers who slaughter the innocent and cower in caves distort who we are."

As America and the world observed the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, it occurred to me that perhaps the terrorists have finally won.
No, not perhaps. It really seems like they have won.
After all, we are no safer today than we were in 2001. In fact, I suspect we're becoming less and less safe with each day that the tea partiers, the anti-mosque protestors, and that crazy Florida preacher demonstrate their belligerent hatred of Muslims, which is founded on ignorance and right-wing fear mongering. That is no way to win hearts and minds, let alone a "war on terrorism".

Can More Arrests Ever Stop Marijuana?
Since the founding of the Drug Enforcement Administration in 1973, 15 million Americans have been arrested for marijuana.
That is more people than live in California's 25 largest cities €“ millions more than live in Ohio, Pennsylvania or Illinois.
The DEA has led an aggressive national law enforcement effort that results in a marijuana arrest every 38 seconds, propelling the U.S. to become the biggest incarcerator on the planet, housing one out of four of the world's prisoners. Despite mass arrests, incarceration and the tearing apart of millions of families, the war rages on with no end in sight.

You might be unfamiliar with the concept of "Wudu". It's an Islamic practice including the washing of some parts of body such as the hands, arms and face in order to get prepared for saying prayers or reciting the Holy Quran. It's is of high value in the Islamic tradition, because it's a preface to inner purity and satisfies the Almighty Creator who wants its creatures to be pure and clean once they want to talk to Him. Wudu is translated into English as "ablution". One who is in the state of Wudu, that is has washed his face, hands, arms and feet, is obliged to adhere to some certain codes of morality, including devotion to honesty, justice and sincerity. One who is in the state of Wudu is supposed not to tell lie, not to judge with prejudice and partiality and not to state or claim what is unrighteous and unfair.
Prior to setting off for writing this article, I conducted "Wudu" and promised myself not to get out of the borders of honesty and objectivity. I promised myself to propose what is my concern in a manner that is justifiable and virtuous, and pose a few questions as someone who has been entitled to ask freely, without being disrupted by projection or disturbance.

At least since the Oslo Accords, Fatah has served Israel more than its own people. On August 25, Haaretz highlighted the latest example, headling "PA arrests dozens of Hamas, Islamic Jihad militants in West Bank," saying, a PA source confirmed dozens made, including "high ranking officials in (both) organizations."
On September 6, PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said hundreds were made in response to the killings of four West Bank settlers, adding, "The decision to carry out the attack was politically motivated and intended to embarrass the Palestinian Authority."

The Fed is proposing another round of “quantitative easing,” although the first round failed to reverse deflation. It failed because the money went into the coffers of banks, which failed to lend it on. To reverse deflation, the money needs to be funneled directly to state and local economies.
In 2002, in a speech that earned him the nickname “Helicopter Ben,” then-Fed Governor Bernanke famously said that the government could easily reverse a deflation, just by printing money and dropping it from helicopters. “The U.S. government has a technology, called a printing press (or, today, its electronic equivalent),” he said, “that allows it to produce as many U.S. dollars as it wishes at essentially no cost.” Later in the speech he discussed “a money-financed tax cut,” which he said was “essentially equivalent to Milton Friedman’s famous ‘helicopter drop’ of money.” You could cure a deflation, said Professor Friedman, simply by dropping money from helicopters.

The October 2001 USA Patriot Act's Section 802 created the crime of "domestic terrorism" (applicable to US citizens) for the first time, applying it to persons engaged in acts "dangerous to human life" in violation of federal or state criminal laws, if such actions:
-- intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
-- influence government policy by intimidation or coercion; or
-- affect government conduct by mass destruction, assassination or kidnapping.
The Patriot Act gave Washington expansive powers to investigate and prosecute "terrorism," including environmental and animal rights activists demonstrating peacefully or engaging in nonviolent civil disobedience, America's longstanding tradition, now harshly criminalized, those convicted subject to long-term incarceration.

COUNT ONE (Conspiracy to use incendiary devices to create controlled-diameter holes in metallic targets)
The Grand Jury charges:
On 9/6/2001 The Powers That Be (TPTB), the defendants herein, did knowingly, intentionally, willfully and maliciously conspire, combine and agree together and with others unknown to the Grand Jury to remove bomb-sniffing dogs from the World Trade Center I and II, while the defendants and their unknown agents placed AN-M14 thermite charged incendiary devices between the 92nd to 98th floors of the North Tower and between the 78th to 84th floors in the South Tower.
The object of the conspiracy were as follows:
- Kill and injure innocent people (1,434 in the North Tower, 589 in the South Tower).
- Damage the property of Silverstein Properties, Inc. (Larry Silverstein suffered a net loss of 4 billion dollars). [3]
- Generate confusion surrounding the impact holes in the towers to prevent the discovery of the test of the Earth (Count 2).
At 8:46 AM on September 11, 2001, TPTB caused the thermite-charged incendiary device to explode creating an impact hole that extended from the 92nd to 98th floors of the North Tower.
At 9:03 AM on September 11, 2001, TPTB caused the thermite-charged incendiary device to explode creating an impact hole that extended from the 78th to 84th floors at South Tower.
COUNT TWO (Conspiracy to conduct a Metaphysical Catechism (Test) of the Earth)
The Powers That Be (TPTB), armed with the lost knowledge from the ancient world Atlantis, in a metaphysical struggle with the Earth are using humans to weaken the earth with environmental damage and pollution. The Question of Questions
“Environmental Damage and Pollution Are the Goal and Not the Unintended Consequence of Our Consumer (shopping) Society.” Dem Bones is Connected To De Debt Bone
It was the object of the conspiracy to determine if the earth was sufficiently weakened, so TPTB could take over and begin the transition to a One World Government and New World Order on 9/12. If you are not a familiar with the works of F.W. Engdahl and the reality of a New World Order conspiracy, visit the CIA controlled Globalresearch.ca website. [4]
The Manner and Means Used By the Conspirators to Further the Objects of the Conspiracy
Among the manner and means used by the defendants to further the objects of the conspiracy were the following:
COUNT THREE (The Conspiracy to use Computer-Generated Video Graphics (CGI fakery) to add an impediment to the discovery of the Metaphysical Test of the Earth).
It was the objective of the conspiracy to create an almost impenetrable barrier to the discovery of the Metaphysical Catechism (Test).
All in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1114, 1111 and 2(a)&(b); and Title 28, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 64.2(h). Vincent Bugliosi, United States Attorney
[Prosecutor Note: Normally I (Vincent Bugliosi) won’t take a conspiracy theory case especially one that is Metaphysical (Sartre didn't understand the word metaphysical). I spent the last eight years writing "Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy" where I poked fun of the JFK conspiracy theories. I agreed to prosecute this case because I read The Key to the Secret of the Universe, Part 2 by Robert Singer.

There is none, and it's getting worse under a president and his predecessor's policies - engineering and sustaining economic decline, not recovery, Obama's latest announced job creation program as bogus as his April 2009 $787 billion stimulus. At the time, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said, besides bailing out Wall Street, it would create millions of jobs and get credit flowing again.
Wrong and he knew it. Credit contraction persists. Job creation is moribund. The true unemployment rate, by 1980 calculations, is 22%, not the bogus 9.6%, and recovery focused on Wall Street, not small business and job creation. The Treasury was looted. Trillions of dollars went to banks, shadow banks (like hedge funds) and insurers, not industrial America, a shadow of its former self by design. More on that below.

A socio-biological critique of First-World middleclass activism
Evolution can be societal. Here I argue that we must recognize our primal drive for murder and genocide and society¡¯s propensity for violently oppressive hierarchies in order to react with the needed determined and sustained individual-based rebellion. This rebellion is against the rogue warlords and hierarchies that dominate us. Warring and its hierarchical support serve no useful purpose now that the human species is not ecologically threatened by natural competitors and now that there is no need for genetic selection (otherwise imposed on a small gene pool by an unforgiving natural environment).
This is a critique of First-World middleclass activism, in the hope that it will start contributing to human evolution.
