THE EXCAVATOR
May 1, 2011

Sunday, May 1, 2011, another chapter was written in Washington’s historic comedy play. The death of Osama Bin Laden was officially announced by President Barack Obama on television as cheering crowds gathered around the White House to mark the special occasion. Years from now they will look back on this night and admit that they were fooled once again. The so-called “mastermind” behind the 9/11 attacks is actually a scapegoat. Osama Bin Laden was not responsible for 9/11. Al Qaeda was not responsible for 9/11. Al Qaeda is the CIA’s rogue network that is used to destabilize other nations that do no support American hegemony in the Middle East. The manufactured creature that is Al Qaeda also has the added benefit of making the American people believe that there is a scary enemy out there who wants to destroy their country and overturn their way of life.

The real criminal sociopaths who did 9/11 remain in power in Washington’s shadow government, and it is their plan to destroy America from within in order for a global technocratic government to arise out of the ashes of an old world order. Since 9/11, the traitors who hijacked the American government have turned the Constitution into a relic, started a false and evil global war that is draining America’s economic, political, and emotional resources, and created a big police state with massive bureaucracies. It is clear that America is under attack, but the attackers are striking from within the country, not from beyond.

The media can spin it all day tomorrow, but they can’t spin history, and they can’t cover up the truth that justice was not done tonight. This is not justice. This is full blown cultural and mass brainwashing. Instead of witnessing justice being done tonight, we have all witnessed another shameful and cynical act by the depraved and barbaric puppeteers of the United States government.

The farce that is the war on terror continues to roll on. And it is truly getting sickening. I was watching the film Watchmen when I changed the channel to CNN and saw Obama announcing that Bin Laden died. But, dead or alive, it doesn’t matter because the real criminals behind 9/11 have not been punished yet. They are still in charge, and they may stage more terrorist attacks inside America in the future to scare the American people and justify the police state at home and all the wars abroad.

As the Comedian from “Watchmen” says, “It’s a joke. It’s all a <snip>in’ joke. God help us all.”

My suggestion: Laugh, or you’ll go mad.

Military psy-ops took over operation after intelligence project failed to take off

Two former CIA officials have admitted to creating a fake video in which intelligence officers dressed up as Osama Bin Laden and his cronies in an effort to defame the terrorist leader throughout the middle east.

The details are outlined in a Washington Post article by investigative reporter and former Army Intelligence case officer Jeff Stein.

Stein’s sources told him that during planning for the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the CIA’s Iraq Operations Group considered creating a fake video of Saddam Hussein engaged in sexual acts with a teenage boy, then flooding Iraq with copies of the tape.

That idea, along with faking Iraqi news bulletins, never came to fruition according to the former CIA officials, because agreement on the projects could not be reached between the Iraq Group and CIA’s Office of Technical Services.

However, the two sources reveal that the agency did previously concoct at least one fake Bin Laden video:

The agency actually did make a video purporting to show Osama bin Laden and his cronies sitting around a campfire swigging bottles of liquor and savoring their conquests with boys, one of the former CIA officers recalled, chuckling at the memory. The actors were drawn from “some of us darker-skinned employees,” he said.

The former officials told Stein that the project was taken over by the military after it ground to a halt:

The reality, the former officials said, was that the agency really didn’t have enough money and expertise to carry out the projects.

“The military took them over,” said one. “They had assets in psy-war down at Ft. Bragg,” at the army’s special warfare center.

This latest revelation bolsters evidence that the intelligence agencies, and perhaps more significantly, the military have been engaged in creating fake Bin Laden videos in the past.

As we have exhaustively documented, Intelcenter, the U.S. monitoring group that routinely releases Bin Laden video and audio, much of which have been proven to be either rehashed old footage or outright fakes, is an offshoot of IDEFENSE, a web security company that monitors intelligence from the middle east.

IDEFENSE is heavily populated by long serving ex military intelligence officials, such as senior military psy-op intelligence officer Jim Melnick, who served 16 years in the US army and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) in psychological operations. Melnick has also worked directly for former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

Intelcenter notoriously released the “laughing hijackers” tape and claimed it was an Al-Qaeda video, despite the fact that the footage was obtained by a “security agency” at a 2000 Bin Laden speech.

IntelCenter was also caught adding its logo to a tape at the same time as Al-Qaeda’s so-called media arm As-Sahab added its logo, proving the two organizations were one and the same.

Could the CIA group of “dark skinned actors” have been behind the infamous December 2001 “Fat nosed” Bin Laden video, that was magically found in a house in Jalalabad after anti-Taliban forces moved in?

The tape featured a fat Osama laughing and joking about how he’d carried out 9/11. The video was alsomistranslated in order to manipulate viewer opinion and featured “Bin Laden” praising two of the hijackers, only he got their names wrong. This Osama also used the wrong hand to write with and wore gold rings, a practice totally in opposition to the Muslim faith.

Despite the fact that the man in the video looks nothing like Bin Laden, the CIA stood by it and declared it to be the official “9/11 confession video”.

The latest revelations also shed light on another past Bin Laden release – a tape in which he ludicrously declared himself in league with Saddam Hussein in the weeks before the invasion of Iraq.

The idea that the CIA project was taken over and drastically improved by the Pentagon at some point after 2003 jives with the improvement in quality of Bin Laden videos in later years. Most notably the video that was released immediately ahead of the 2004 election, and it’s digitally manipulated duplicate from 2007, in which Bin Laden appeared to have a dyed beard.

Everything about the Bin Laden myth is fake, so why worry about illustrating his  “death” with another contrived hoax?

Killing Osama bin Laden is a pretty big deal.  You’d think that it would be in the interests of US forces to take a snapshot of  the elusive terror leader to milk the propaganda value of such a momentous turn  of events, and yet the corporate media has given us nothing but a years old fake  picture. This makes little sense, unless of course, somebody is trying to hide  something, namely the fact that Osama’s dead corpse has been on ice for the best  part of a decade.

According  to some reports, Bin Laden’s body has already been hastily “buried at sea,”  meaning that the comic book story of his dramatic killing is based solely on the  less than credible word of the U.S. government.

Of course, it’s probable that we’ll be treated to  seeing all the gory details in due course once Osama’s corpse has been properly  thawed and suitably presented for public consumption.

But the fake photo, which is still being used by  the likes of the Daily Mail and the London Telegraph even after it was proven to  be a contrived hoax that has been circulating on the Internet for years, fits  perfectly with everything surrounding the Bin Laden myth – the fake video tapes,  the fake audio tapes, the fake claim of responsibility for 9/11.

Everything about the Bin Laden myth that has been  rapaciously whipped up by the establishment over the last 10 years has been  fake, so why worry about putting out a fake photo and claiming it represents the  freshly dead remains of the world’s most wanted?

We don’t need MSNC to tell us, “We  think that bin Laden ‘death photo’ is a fake,” because we know it’s a fake.  It’s been knocking around on the web since before Obama even took office. Here  it is featured in a story released over a year ago. As Stokes Young  illustrates, the bloodied face of Bin Laden is an obviously contrived composite  image created from an image of Osama that dates back over 10 years.

But that didn’t stop TV news stations across the  Middle East, as well as major newspapers in Britain like the Daily Mail and the  London Telegraph, amongst a host of others, from passing the fraud off as  evidence of Bin Laden’s death.

Despite the fact that Bin Laden’s corpse has  almost undoubtedly been safely stored in a highly secure U.S. government morgue  since at least 2002, the political grist to be enjoyed by an administration that  has plummeted to the depths of unpopularity knows no bounds, which is why Obama  victoriously proclaimed Osama’s “death ” during a speech last night almost as if  the president himself had pulled the trigger.

The birther controversy and NATO’s indiscriminate  murder of children in their pursuit of Colonel Gaddafi will now be swept under  the rug and Obama can build his campaign for 2012 on the lie that he was the  president who finally brought the evil boogeyman to justice.

Never mind the fact that numerous public officials  went on the record to plainly state that Bin Laden has been dead for years and  that the announcement of his demise was being kept back until the most  politically expedient time.

As  Kurt Nimmo and Alex Jones document, from FBI counterterrorism official Dale  Watson, to former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, to Pakistani icon  Benazir Bhutto, to CFR members, to Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, all  voiced publicly what the evidence clearly indicated, which is that Bin Laden  died in late 2001.

The  fact that a deluge of provably fake video and audio tapes were released by  an organization with  direct ties to the Pentagon in the years that followed illustrated how the  military-industrial complex was keen to prolong the Bin Laden boogeyman myth as  a backdrop against which to launch their takeover of the middle east under the  umbrella of the “war on terror”.

But don’t think for a minute that final  “confirmation” of Osama’s death will mean an end to the “war on terror” and U.S.  troops pulling out of Afghanistan, just as the capture of Saddam Hussein did  absolutely nothing to speed a U.S. exit out of Iraq.

If anything, the announcement of Osama’s death  will only lead to more warfare and bloodshed in the region. Whether genuine or  contrived, terrorist  retaliation plots are already in the works and when they are unleashed, the  establishment will point to them as a justification for more air strikes, more  invasions and more regime change plots disguised as humanitarian aid.

In life, Bin Laden’s propaganda value as an  Emmanuel Goldstein hate figure was immense, but in death his usefulness to the  US military-industrial complex will, for a time at least, only increase.

A friend of mine sent me this in an email today. Being a musician myself, it was touching to read.

 

At the prodding of my friends I am writing this story. My name is Mildred Honor and I am a former elementary school music teacher from DesMoines , Iowa . I have always supplemented my income by teaching pianolessons - something I have done for over 30 years. During those years I found that children have many levels of music ability, and even though I have never had the pleasure of having a prodigy, I have taught some very talented students. However, I have also had my share of what I call 'musically challenged' pupils - one such pupil being Robby.. Robby was 11 years old when his mother (a single mom) dropped him off for his first piano lesson. I prefer that students (especially boys) begin at an earlier age, which I explained to Robby. But Robby said that it had always been his mother's  dream to hear him play the piano, so I took him as a student. Well, Robby began his piano lessons and from the beginning I thought it was a hopeless endeavor. As much as Robby tried, he lacked the sense of tone and basic rhythm needed to excel.  But he dutifully reviewed his scales and some elementary piano pieces that I require all my students to learn.  Over the months he tried and tried while I listened and cringed and tried to encourage him. At the end of each weekly lesson he would always say 'My mom's going to hear me play someday'.  But to me,it seemed hopeless, he just did not have any inborn  ability. I only knew his mother from a distance as she dropped Robby off or waited in her aged car to pick him up. She always waved and smiled, but never dropped in. Then one day Robby stopped coming for his lessons. I thought about calling him, but assumed that because of his lack of ability he had decided to pursue something else. I was also glad that he had stopped coming - he was a bad advertisement for my teaching! Several weeks later I mailed a flyer recital to the students' homes. To my surprise, Robby (who had received a flyer) asked me if he could be in the recital. I told him that the recital was for current pupils and that because he had dropped out, he really did not qualify. He told me thathis mother had been sick and unable to take him to his piano lessons, but that he had been practicing. 'Please Miss Honor, I've just got to play' he insisted. I don't know what led me to allow him to play in the recital - perhaps it was his insistence or maybe something inside of me saying that it would be all right. The night of the recital came and the high school  gymnasium was packed with parents, relatives and friends. I put Robby last in the program, just before I was to come up and thank all the students and play a finishing piece. I thought that any damage he might do would come at the end of the program and I could always salvage his poor performance through my 'curtain closer'. Well, the recital went off without a hitch, the students had been practicing and it showed. Then Robby came up on the stage. His clothes were wrinkled and his hair looked as though he had run an egg beater through it.  'Why wasn't he dressed up like the other students?'  I thought. 'Why didn't his mother at least make him comb his hair for this special night?' Robby pulled out the piano bench, and I was surprisedwhen he announced that he had chosen to play Mozart's Concerto No. 21 in C Major. I was not prepared for what I heard next. His fingers were light on the keys, they even danced nimbly on the ivories. He went from pianissimo to fortissimo, from allegro to virtuoso; his suspended chords that Mozart demands were magnificent!  Never had I heard Mozart played so well by anyone his age. After six and a half minutes he ended in a grand crescendo, and everyone was on their feet in wild applause!  Overcome and in tears, I ran up onstage and put my arms around Robby in joy.  'I have never heard you play like that Robby, how did you do it? Through the microphone Robbyexplained: 'Well, Miss Honor .... remember I told you that my mom was sick? Well, she actually had cancer and passed away this morning. And well ...... she was born deaf, so tonight was the first time she had ever heard me play, and I wanted to make it special.' There wasn't a dry eye in the house that evening. As the people from Social Services led Robby from the stage to be placed in to foster care, I noticed that even their eyes were red and puffy. I thought to myself then how much richer my life had been for taking Robby as my pupil. No, I have never had a prodigy, but that night I became a prodigy ....... of Robby.  He was the teacher and I was the pupil, for he had taught me the meaning of perseverance and love and believing in yourself, and may be even taking a chance on someone and you didn't know why. Robby was killed years later in the senseless bombing of the Alfred P. Murray Federal Building in Oklahoma City in April, 1995. And now, a footnote to the story.

Another attempt by the shadow folks to kill the population off with deception. All My adult life i was told grains/fiber were good for you because they acted as cleaning scrubbers for your veins and colon, cleaning me of gunk build-up created over years due to a bad diet of fatty foods. Well, I just scoured the internet and found a plethora of info regarding this grain fallacy. One of the best articles I found is below. I highlighted an interesting part in green.

 

I find that grain bashing makes for a tasty, but ultimately unsatisfying meal.

You all know how much I love doing it, though. But no matter how often I sit down to dine on the stuff (and I’ve done it with great gusto in the past), I always leave the table feeling like I left something behind. Like maybe I wasn’t harsh enough about the danger of gluten, or I failed to really convey just how much I hated lectins. If I didn’t know better, I’d think the mere mention of grains was eliciting a crazy insulin-esque response and throwing my satiety hormones all out of whack. I was filling up on anti-grain talk, but I just couldn’t fill that void for long.

Well, I’ve got the hunger today, and this time I aim to stuff myself to the point of perpetual sickness. I don’t ever want to have to look at another anti-grain argument again (yeah, right). If things get a little disjointed, or if I descend into bullet points and sentence fragments, it’s only because the hunger has taken over and I’ve decided to dispense with the pleasantries in order to lay it all out at once.

 

So please, bear with me.

Apart from maintaining social conventions in certain situations and obtaining cheap sugar calories, there is absolutely no reason to eat grains. Believe me – I’ve searched far and wide and asked everyone I can for just one good reason to eat cereal grains, but no one can do it. They may have answers, but they just aren’t good enough. For fun, though, let’s see take a look at some of the assertions:

“You need the fiber!”

Okay, for one: no, I don’t. If you’re referring to its oft-touted ability to move things along in the inner sanctum, fiber has some unintended consequences. A few years back, scientists found that high-fiber foods “bang up against the cells lining the gastrointestinal tract, rupturing their outer covering” which “increases the level of lubricating mucus.” Err, that sounds positively awful. Banging and tearing? Rupturing? These are not the words I like to hear. But wait! The study’s authors say, “It’s a good thing.” Fantastic! So when all those sticks and twigs rub up against my fleshy interior and literally rupture my intestinal lining, I’ve got nothing to worry about. It’s all part of the plan, right?

Somehow, I’m not convinced that a massive daily infusion of insoluble grain fiber is all that essential. And that “lubricating mucus” sounds an awful like the mucus people with irritable bowel syndrome complain about. From personal experience I can tell you that once I completed my exodus from grains, the IBS completely stopped. If you’re not yet convinced on the fiber issue I’ll refer you to Konstantin Monastyrsky’s Fiber Menace. Anyway, there’s plenty of fiber in the vegetables and fruit I eat. Which takes me to the next claim:

“You need the vitamins and minerals!”

You got me. I do need vitamins and minerals, like B1 and B2, magnesium and iron, zinc and potassium. But do I need to obtain them by eating a carb-heavy, bulky grain? No, no I don’t. You show me a serving of “healthy whole grains” that can compete – nutrient, vitamin, and mineral-wise – with a Big Ass Salad. What’s that? Can’t do it? Thought so.

“But it forms the foundation of the governmental food pyramid!”

You know, I should have just started the entire post with this one. I could have saved my fingers the trouble of typing and your eyes the trouble of reading. Governmental endorsements are not points in your favor, grain-eater; they are strikes against you. An appeal to authority (unless that “authority” is actually a preponderance of scientific evidence, of course) does not an effective argument make. Conventional Wisdom requires consistent, steady dissection and criticism if it is to be of any value.

There’s a reason grains are first and foremost on the list of foods to avoid when following the Primal Blueprint: they are completely and utterly pointless in the context of a healthy diet. In fact, if your average unhealthy person were to ask for the top three things to avoid in order to get healthy, I would tell them to stop smoking, to stop drinking their calories (as soda or juice), and to stop eating grains. Period. Full stop. They really are that bad.

I’ve mentioned this time and again, but the fundamental problem with grains is that they are a distinctly Neolithic food that the human animal has yet to adapt to consuming. In fact, cereal grains figured prominently in the commencement of the New Stone Age; grains were right there on the forefront of the agricultural revolution. Hell, they were the agricultural revolution – einkorn wheat, emmer, millet, and spelt formed the backbone of Neolithic farming. They could be stored for months at a time, they were easy enough to grow in massive enough quantities to support a burgeoning population, and they promoted the construction of permanent settlements. Oh, and they were easily hoarded, meaning they were probably an early form of currency (and, by extension, a potential source of income inequality). And here’s the kicker: they were harsh, tough things that probably didn’t even taste very good. It also took a ton of work just to make them edible, thanks to their toxic anti-nutrients.

Toxic anti-nutrients? Do tell.

Living things generally do not want to be consumed by other living things. Being digested, for the most part, tends to interrupt survival, procreation, propagation of the species – you know, standard stuff that fauna and flora consider pretty important. To avoid said consumption, living things employ various self defense mechanisms. Rabbits, for example, with their massive ears, considerable fast-twitch muscle fibers, and nasty claws, can usually hear a predator coming, outrun (out-hop?) nearly anything, and (in a pinch) slash a tender belly to shreds. Blue whales are too big to fit into your mouth, while porcupines are walking reverse pincushions. Point is, animals have active defense mechanisms. They run, fight, jump, climb, fly, sting, bite, and even appeal to our emotions (if you’ve ever seen a puppy beg for a treat with sad eyes, you know that isn’t just accidental cuteness) in order to survive. All the while, predators are constantly evolving and generating adaptations.

Plants, though, are passive organisms without the ability to move, think, and react (for the most part). They must employ different tactics to ensure propagation, and they generally have to rely on outside forces to spread their seed. And so various methods are “devised” to dissuade consumption long enough for the seed to get to where it’s going. Nuts have those tough shells, and grains have the toxic anti-nutrients, lectins, gluten, and phytates. (Of course there are some obvious exceptions. Fruits are tasty, nutritious, and delicious so that animals will eat them whole and poop out the seeds, preferably into some fertile soil. The seed stays intact throughout the digestive process; it is indigestible by design. No seed “wants” to be digested, because this would defeat the purpose. They “want” to be swallowed, or borne by the wind, or carried by a bee to the next flower, but they do not want to be digested.)

Some animals are clearly adapted to grain consumption. Birds, rodents, and some insects can deal with the anti-nutrients. Humans, however, cannot. Perhaps if grains represented a significant portion of our ancestral dietary history, things might be a bit different. Some of us can digest dairy, and we’ve got the amylase enzyme present in our saliva to break down starches if need be, but we simply do not have the wiring necessary to mitigate the harmful effects of lectins, gluten, and phytate.

Lectins are bad. They bind to insulin receptors, attack the stomach lining of insects, bind to human intestinal lining, and they seemingly cause leptin resistance. And leptin resistance predicts a “worsening of the features of the metabolic syndrome independently of obesity”. Fun stuff, huh?

Gluten might be even worse. Gluten, found in wheat, rye, and barley, is a composite of the proteins giladin and glutenin. Around 1% of the population are celiacs, people who are completely and utterly intolerant of any gluten. In celiacs, any gluten in the diet can be disastrous. We’re talking compromised calcium and vitamin D3 levels, hyperparathyroidism, bone defects. Really terrible stuff. And it gets worse: just because you’re not celiac doesn’t mean you aren’t susceptible to the ravages of gluten. As Stephan highlights, one study showed that 29% of asymptomatic (read: not celiac) people nonetheless tested positive for anti-gliadin IgA in their stool. Anti-gliadin IgA is an antibody produced by the gut, and it remains there until it’s dispatched to ward off gliadin – a primary component of gluten. Basically, the only reason anti-gliadin IgA ends up in your stool is because your body sensed an impending threat – gluten. If gluten poses no threat, the anti-gliadin IgA stays in your gut. And to think, most Americans eat this stuff on a daily basis.

Phytates are a problem, too, because they make minerals bio-unavailable (so much for all those healthy vitamins and minerals we need from whole grains!), thus rendering null and void the last, remaining argument for cereal grain consumption.

What, then, is the point to all this grain madness? Is there a good reason for anyone (with access to meat, fruit, and vegetables, that is) to rely on cereal grains for a significant portion of their caloric intake?

The answer is unequivocally, undeniably no. We do not need grains to survive, let alone thrive. In fact, they are naturally selected to ward off pests, whether they be insects or hominids. I suggest we take the hint and stop eating them.

And with that, I’m done. I don’t think I could eat another bite
