COMMENTARY

INVISIBLE BALLOTS
Our next conference call is scheduled for Sunday, April 8, at 2 PM Pacific Time. It will feature Vicky Karp, one of America’s strongest voices on behalf of honest elections. In July of 2003, she became aware that new electronic vote machines being installed throughout the United States allowed elections results to be “flipped” by anyone with a high school level of computer expertise, without detection by election officials or the public. Since then, she has become a human dynamo on behalf of all-paper ballots which can be visually inspected and physically counted by real people.

Vickie is the National Chairperson of The Coalition for Visible Ballots, an activist organization affiliated with Freedom Force International. She is on the Board of Directors of Black Box Voting, a non-profit organization exposing the fraud of electronic voting. She is co-editor of the book, HACKED! High Tech Election Theft in America.

NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS ARE UNDER ATTACK BY THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY AND SOON MAY BE OUTLAWED
Our last conference call featured John Hammell, Founder of International Advocates for Health Freedom (IAHF), created to oppose the pharmaceutical industry’s effort to ban therapeutic doses of vitamins and minerals. John’s message is that Codex is merely a part of a larger scheme for societal control. Those who control food and nutrition will be masters of the people.

BBC REPORTED COLLAPSE OF WTC BUILDING 7 BEFORE IT FELL!
But that may not mean what you think.
In the final week of February, 2007, the Internet was ablaze with a video tape that showed news commentators for the BBC on the morning of 9/11 stating categorically that Building 7 at the World Trade Center had collapsed, but the announcement was made at least twenty minutes prior to the event. In one scene, reporter Jane Standley is seen saying that Building 7 had collapsed, all the while it is clearly visible in the skyline behind her.

Skeptics assumed the video was recorded sometime after the collapse of Building 7 and that the background view was taken from previously recorded images and added electronically for dramatic effect. That is easy to do with modern technology, and it is commonly done with news programs to create the impression that reporters are on the scene of action when, in fact, they are in a studio standing in front of a blue screen. I have used this technique myself, and I am familiar with the process. However, when I looked at the BBC footage, there was no doubt in my mind that Standley was really where she appeared to be: in front of a window looking at the Manhattan skyline. First, the lighting on her face and other elements of the set were consistent with the real thing. Second, there was no reason for her not to be there. Other news networks had similar vantage points that day. I was convinced.

In addition to the blue screen theory there was a problem confirming broadcast time. The BBC video did not have a time stamp appearing on the screen, so there was no way to prove exactly when the remarks were recorded. So, the skeptics had a double out. The appearance of Building 7 in the background didn’t prove anything and there was no way to confirm the time of broadcast anyway. Just another conspiracy theory shot down by plausible denial.

BBC could have clarified the exact time of broadcast but chose, instead to plead incompetence. On February 27, it issued a press release stating that, somehow, it lost the tape of its broadcast that day. Imagine that. One of the most valuable historical records of all time, and they lost it. Shuure!

The next day, someone at 911Blogger.com located a privately recorded video tape from BBC-24, a local affiliate of the BBC network, which also had covered the events of 9/11. Lo and behold, there it was: A time stamp! It was twenty minutes before Building 7 collapsed, and BBC-24, taking its news feed from the BBC network, was telling its viewers that it already had happened.

GOOGLE TAKES THE VIDEOS OFF THE INTERNET
To add to the excitement of the week, Google pulled both video links from the Internet. Bloggers, who previously had downloaded them to their own computers quickly got them back up on their own servers and on You Tube. By Thursday, March 1, they were everywhere, although it was speculated that the powers-that-be eventually would track all of them down and assign them to the memory hole.

The Internet went wild. Although a few adherents to the official version of 9/11 claimed that the videos were fakes, most of the traffic was jubilant over what was perceived as the final and incontrovertible proof that there was prior knowledge of the terrorist attacks and that even BBC was in on it – or at least someone was in on it who was in a position to feed information to the BBC. Case closed! Or was it?

SOMETHING SEEMED WRONG WITH THIS SCENARIO
As I pondered these facts, something didn’t feel right about the direction the story was taking. I am no fan of the official version of 9/11, but I also try to be careful not to let my inner convictions get in the way of rational analysis. It didn’t seem logical for anyone with prior knowledge of 9/11 to prepare press reports ahead of time. In fact, it would be wise to have as few people in on the plot as possible so that, when it happened, everyone would respond in the most normal manner possible, complete with confusion, panic, and shock. Why would anyone want to prepare press releases ahead of time when the press is quite capable of finding out everything for itself. Monitoring and manipulating the flow of information after an event like this would be expected, but to do so before hand, just didn’t make sense.

I started poking around the Internet to see what else I could find in the way of news reports on 9/11. It didn’t take long before I came across a highly significant report from CNN. The reporter, standing in front of a window looking at the Manhattan skyline similar to the BBC location (and with Building Seven clearly visible in the background), says:

“We are getting information now that one of the other buildings, Building Seven, in the World Trade Center complex is on fire and has either collapsed or is collapsing. … We are told that there is a fire there, and that building may collapse as well, as you can see.” (www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1LetB0z8_o.) With that statement, everything snapped into focus:

A REASONABLE HYPOTHESIS
1. BBC and CNN simultaneously received a report that Building Seven was on fire and was expected to collapse. It is probable that other networks received the same information.

2. The CNN reporter said that Building Seven was on fire and ”has either collapsed or is collapsing.” He concluded with the more conservative view that it “may collapse.” The BBC reporter, or whoever prepared the dispatch for her to read, went for the more dramatic interpretation and said the building was on fire and had already collapsed. These were merely different interpretations of the same dispatch.

3. Jane Standley, from the UK, was not sufficiently familiar with Manhattan’s buildings to know that the rectangular shape far behind her was the same building she was telling viewers had already collapsed. Very few Americans would have known that, either.

4. The BBC was embarrassed by the blatant inaccuracy of its report and wanted to put the issue to bed with as little public attention as possible. It hoped that no private copies of the broadcast would surface and that “losing” the tapes would likely leave the issue unresolved.

5. Google, in its proven obedience to the government of whatever nation it’s network services, complied with a request from the federal government (possibly reinforced by a request from BBC) to pull the videos from the Internet to minimize embarrassment to BBC and avoid adding to the groundswell of public suspicion of government complicity on 9/11.

To my mind, this is a more plausible explanation than that some news manager had prior knowledge and stupidly jumped the gun with his report. However, it must be emphasized that, if I am correct in this analysis, it still does not strengthens the case for the official version of 9/11. To the contrary, hidden behind the more dramatic elements of this episode is the fact that someone in the Mayor’s office or in the Fire Department issued a report to the networks that Building Seven was expected to collapse!

CONSIDER THESE FACTS. Prior to 9/11:
1. No steel structure had ever collapsed from fire.

2. Building Seven was not hit by an aircraft.

3. Fires in Building Seven were relatively minor compared to nearby buildings that did not collapse.

4. Their were no historical or technical reasons to anticipate a collapse.

5. Professionals in the building demolition industry have said that Building Seven could not have been destroyed by fire.

6. Scores of firefighters, rescue workers, and civilians reported hearing and seeing sequential explosions near the base of Building Seven the instant prior to collapse.

7. Building Seven collapsed all together into a small footprint, exactly as happens with controlled demolitions, rather than unevenly with the most damaged areas falling first.

8. Rescue workers have said that they were told ahead of time to get away from Building Seven because it was going to be demolished.

CONCLUSION
Considering these facts, for anyone to issue a report to the press that Building Seven was expected to collapse, is powerful evidence that some people actually did have prior knowledge – not necessarily of the 9/11 attacks, but prior knowledge that Building Seven was going to be brought down by controlled demolition. Since it takes many weeks of prior planning to bring down a building like that by controlled demolition, preparations would have started long before 9/11. That fact, alone, is all we need to unravel the whole shoddy fabric of lies.

Being informed is not enough.
Freedom Force awaits you.

WHY STOMACH ACID IS GOOD FOR YOU; Natural Relief from Heartburn, Indigestion, Reflux & GERD
It is well known that a slight alkaline balance in our cells is healthy, but many are not aware of the importance of acid in the stomach. The stomach needs hydrochloric acid (HCL) to digest food and, if we take anti-acids or acid blockers, we create an environment in which incomplete digestion causes excess acid in the cells, and this can lead to all kinds of illnesses. Even without anti-acids, HCL production declines with age and should be supplemented. Heartburn and acid reflux often are caused by too little acid in the stomach, not too much. That’s because low acid in the stomach causes the valve at the base of the esophagus to relax and allow upward passage of what is in the stomach. Higher levels of acid cause the valve to stay closed and prevent the upward flow. There is much to learn about this topic, and this book has it all. (More)

AMERICA from FREEDOM to FASCISM
A documentary by Aaron Russo
An award-winning Hollywood producer sets out on a journey to find answers to questions about the legality of the income tax – but soon discovers that there is much more being hidden from public view than simple tax issues. What he discovers is a quiet conversion of the American political system from a constitutional republic to a democratic dictatorship modeled along the lines of fascism – and it is happening without the public even being aware of it. For Americans, there is nothing more serious or more important in their lives than the issue raised in this film. Even outside the US, this will affect every aspect of your personal existence in the very near future. When martial law arrives, it will be too late to change anything. We must act NOW. (More)
