Public Order
September 2, 2004
I caught a glimpse of footage from a recent Republican Party convention where Bush’s nomination was confirmed. His wife spoke on his behalf:
“You know, it’s not because he’s my husband, but he really is a wonderful man. America needs a strong man like him.”
The highlight, though, was Schwarzenegger’s appearance. The “Beast”: lean, with steel-like eyes, he came to show his support for George W. Bush. It seems like the outcome is already decided. Democrats admit they’re 4 percentage points behind in the polls. Republicans claim it’s 15 points. But, you know what? It’s a shame Schwarzenegger isn’t of American descent; he’d win any election, against any opponent. During that segment, an elderly American woman said, “I believe his election as governor of California is the best thing that could have happened to that state.” Why? She probably has no idea.
Reagan seemed a bit mentally weak. It showed in his expression. Bush isn’t much better. Luckily, he wears an earpiece. Without it, he becomes bored. Watch that eight-minute segment in Moore’s film where, upon learning that the Twin Towers had been attacked, he remains completely unfazed.
Second attempt: “Mr. President, the country is under attack.” He bites his lip and goes back to reading his book.
A reader wrote to me, “He didn’t want to worry the children.” But any other person would’ve put on their biggest smile and said, “Kids, you know a President has lots to do. Right now, I’m being called away. Excuse me. I’ll try to come back later, if I can. Meanwhile, be good.” Once with his staff, he’d ask, “What’s this business about an attack?” But he remained motionless for eight minutes.
I believe Schwarzenegger would’ve done better. But unfortunately, he’s not of American descent. In short, it seems Bush will be re-elected. He’s got all the media on his side. I still remember how ridiculously poorly Schwarzenegger performed during his campaign, facing off against weak opponents. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Einstein once said this country went straight from barbarism to decadence. But can we reverse that? How many people voted for a sullen-faced puppet dressed in black, carrying a red rose and boasting of his “quiet strength”?
Moore did what he could by letting the images in his film speak for themselves. He even tried to speed up distribution of the film by encouraging piracy. But it’s likely to be futile. If Bush gets re-elected, where will we end up?
Yesterday, I heard someone on TV say:
“There hadn’t been any suicide attacks in Israel since July.”
One day it’ll be:
“There hadn’t been any suicide attacks in forty-eight hours, but this morning…”
Where are we headed? Good question. Apparently, 47% of Americans now suspect that September 11 wasn’t quite what it seemed. I’ve posted information regarding seismographic recordings taken at Columbia University right before the collapse of both towers; these recordings lasted 10 and 8 seconds respectively. I haven’t seen those seismograms myself, but judging from comments online, they strongly suggest explosives were used at the base of the buildings. After all, why would such unusually powerful and sharp signals be recorded before the bulk of the towers crashed to the ground in Manhattan?
Dominique Baudis, head of France’s High Council for Audiovisual, wrote to France Télévision advising against airing a program by Thierry Meyssan who “obviously spread baseless rumors.”
That makes sense. When something is so huge, it’s not just unbelievable—it becomes downright false.
The groundwork has been laid. People read about it and form some initial opinions. But if all this were true, “May God protect us,” as they used to say in the Middle Ages. Elsewhere, we read about progress in implantable chip technology. In the US, some advocate equipping homeless people (potential criminals!) with such chips, just like stray dogs. A reader sent me a link praising new American tech. My suspicions seem to be confirmed. There’s a diagram showing a mirror made of ionized gas capable of reflecting microwave beams—exactly as I sketched a year ago. Emphasis is placed on the key role of “weather weapons.” One interesting figure: one tropical cyclone equals 10,000 hydrogen bombs. No pollution, no traces—it could easily be mistaken for a natural phenomenon. Shame there are no cyclones in Iraq.
Ultimately, more and more people are asking, “Is the end of the world underway?” It certainly seems that way. It’s like 1939, except today’s madmen have far greater resources—major resources, so to speak. Yet mindsets haven’t changed. You may recall my article on Japanese biological weapons, developed in the 1930s in Manchuria by General Hishi. He died peacefully after handing over all his notes on his experiments to the Americans in exchange for their silence. Japan wasn’t actually threatened at the time, yet Japanese strategists pondered how to defeat the US. That’s when I recalled those balloons arriving on the US West Coast carrying minuscule payloads. They were guided across the Pacific using a jet stream known only to the Japanese, dropping down when winds carried them toward America’s rocky foothills. But what could one fragile balloon deliver to the US? A kilogram or two of explosives? No—plague germs, or anything else. Back then, people coldly contemplated such things. People who wouldn’t hesitate to kill a hundred or two million people to secure new living space for the Rising Sun. And do you think anything’s changed?
People like this exist everywhere, in every country—more or less powerful, more or less entrenched. The “war on terror” gives them unlimited power. If we knew what went on in military labs, we’d be horrified.
I’m beginning to understand how I can still be useful: by making you ask questions. A reader wrote, “Thanks for giving me questions to answer.” So I write occasionally, while I still can. One day sites like mine might be shut down by the CSA on grounds of:
