September 2, 2004
I caught a glimpse of an image from a recent meeting of the American Republican Party, where Bush’s nomination was confirmed. His wife came forward to speak on his behalf:
*- You know, it's not just because he's my husband, but he's really a good man. America needs a strong man like him. *
The impression was created by Schwarzenegger’s entrance. The beast: not heavy, steel gaze, come to lend his support to Georges Debeliou. It feels as if the game is already decided. Democrats admit to being 4 points behind in the polls. Republicans boast of a 15-point lead. But you know what? Too bad Schwarzenegger isn’t of American descent—he’d sweep any election, any opponent. During that scene, an elderly American woman said, "I think his election as governor of California is the best thing that’s ever happened to this state." Why? She probably has no idea.
Reagan was a bit mentally weak. It showed on his face. Bush isn’t much better. Fortunately, he has an earpiece. When he doesn’t have it, he’s bored. Watching that eight-minute sequence in Moore’s film, where, having learned that the Twin Towers had suffered a serious attack, he remains completely unresponsive.
Second attempt: "Mr. President, the country is under attack." He bites his lip and resumes the book he was flipping through.
A reader wrote to me: "He didn’t want to worry the children." But any ordinary person would have smiled broadly and said, "Kids, you know a President has a lot on his plate. Right now, I’m being called. Excuse me. I’ll try to come back later, if I can, and in the meantime, be good." And once he rejoined his team, he’d have asked, "What’s this story about an attack?" But he remained motionless, for eight minutes.
I believe Schwarzenegger would have done better. But too bad—he’s not of American stock. Anyway, we can assume Bush’s re-election is likely. He has all the media on his side. I still can’t believe my eyes at the incredible clown show that was Schwarzenegger’s campaign, facing off against weak opponents. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Einstein once said this country had gone straight from barbarism to decadence. But can we bring it back? How many voted for a puppet with a sullen face, dressed in black, carrying a red rose and boasting his "quiet strength"?
Moore did what he could, letting images speak for themselves through his film. He even accelerated the film’s distribution by encouraging the creation of pirated copies. But we can speculate it won’t matter. If Bush is re-elected, where will we go?
Yesterday I heard someone on television say:
*- There hasn’t been a suicide attack in Israel since July. *
One day it will be:
- There hasn’t been a suicide attack in 48 hours, but this morning...
Where are we headed? Good question. It seems 47% of Americans are beginning to think the events of September 11 were not entirely clear. I’ve reproduced information about seismic recordings taken at Columbia University, just before the twin towers collapsed—lasting 10 and 8 seconds respectively. I haven’t seen the seismograms myself, but judging from the commentary, everything points to explosives being detonated at the base of the buildings. Why would such abnormally powerful, sharp signals have been recorded before the mass of the towers reduced to rubble hit the ground of Manhattan?
But Dominique Baudis, President of the High Council for Audiovisual, had written to France Télévision advising against hosting Thierry Meyssan, who "obviously spread rumors without any basis."
That makes sense. When something is so enormous, it’s not just unbelievable—it becomes false, outright.
The files are in place. People are reading them, forming some initial ideas. But if all this were true, "God protect us," as they used to say in the Middle Ages. Elsewhere, we read about advances in implantable chip technology. In the U.S., people recommend equipping the homeless (potential delinquents!) with these chips right now—like stray dogs. A reader sent me a website praising new American technologies. What I said seems to be confirmed. There’s the diagram of the ionized gas mirror, capable of reflecting microwave beams, just as I sketched it a year ago. The emphasis is on the crucial importance of "weather weapons." There’s an interesting figure: a tropical cyclone equals 10,000 hydrogen bombs. Non-polluting. No traces. It could easily pass for a natural phenomenon. Too bad there aren’t any cyclones in Iraq.
Ultimately, more and more people are asking: "Is the end of the world not already underway?" It increasingly looks like it. It’s like 1939, except now the madmen have far greater means—major means, one might say. But human mentality hasn’t changed. You may have seen my dossier on Japanese biological weapons, developed as early as the 1930s in Manchuria by General Hishi, who died peacefully in bed after handing over all his notes on his fascinating experiments to the Americans in exchange for silence. Japan wasn’t in danger at the time. But Japanese strategists were pondering how to defeat the U.S. That’s when I recalled those arrivals of balloons along the western coast of the U.S., carrying such weak charges. These balloons were programmed to cross the entire Pacific by riding the jet stream—something only the Japanese knew about at the time—and to descend when ascending air currents carried them over the initial rocky foothills of America. But what could you possibly deliver to the U.S. with a fragile balloon? A kilogram of explosive? Two? No—plague germs, anything at all. Even then, people thought about this, coldly. People who wouldn’t have minded killing a hundred or two million people on a new Lebensraum, a new living space for the Rising Sun. And you think this has changed?
People like this exist everywhere, in all countries, more or less powerful, more or less entrenched. The argument of the war against terrorism gives them full power. If we knew what’s being plotted in military labs, we’d be chilled to the bone.
I’m beginning to understand what I might still be useful for: making you ask questions. A reader wrote, "Thank you for providing questions for my answers." So I write something now and then. As long as it’s still possible. One day, sites like mine might be shut down by the CSA on the grounds:
