WATCHING THE STARS WINK OUT
They're dimming the lights at the Limited Hangout, and it's last call at the Cointelpro Cafe. Apparently, The Dynamic Duo (the Fetzer-Barrett tag-team show on GCN) is ending its current run. As the curtain rings down, Fetz is still mired deep in the "no-plane" distraction, Kevin Barrett is still giving everyone the benefit of the doubt, and Morgan Reynolds and Judy Wood continue their low-key, bizarro improv.
It's all reminiscent of a Beckett play. You know that the characters are trapped in their scripts, and must repeat their lines endlessly without growth or epiphanies. Godot is never going to appear with the key piece of evidence that will Prove Conclusively How It Was Done So Let's Move On With Our Lives Already. If you haven't heard it from us yet, here it is: The 9/11 Truth Movement is the last and best manifestation of The Theatre of The Absurd.
And this: The 9/11 Truth Movement doesn't actually move. You can be certain the Fetzer-Barrett-Reynolds Endgame on GCN will continue as concentric ripples into outer space, forever.

THE UTICANS ON THE MINISTRY OF TRUTH!
Last Sunday evening, Herb and I spoke with Gordon Comstock of the Ministry of Truth. We recorded almost two hours with Gordon, but we were on the phone for three. It was fun. The time, as they say, just flew. The program is now posted on the website, and is available for download at this link.
We left no turncoat unstoned here, so all those who feel their particular ox has been gored may send their hate mail to the usual address.
UPDATE: Here is the infamous John Judge interview. (Thanks to Jeff!)

A Kick in Our Crystal Balls
Positive, adj.: Mistaken at the top of one's voice. -- Ambrose Bierce
Okay. We admit it. We were wrong, wrong, wrong. But so were all those other dime-store Nostradamuses who proclaimed that Hillary Clinton would be the next President of the United States. We figured that They always get the one in office that They want; that the matter of the Presidential selection is foreordained many years in advance--and that the logical and symmetrical progression that They favored was Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton. The late Kent Daniel Bentkowski heard this from some Illuminati insider in the 1990s, and Victor Thorn cheerfully stated that it was a foregone conclusion. And, like dogs barking idiotically in the night (to borrow a phrase from H.L. Mencken), we picked up the news and told anyone who would listen: It's gotta be Hillary in '08.
Boy, did we feel brilliant with an inside scoop like this. It was just going to happen, that's all. Why? Because. Because They have so decreed.
But predicting the future is always a mug's game.
Boy, were we wrong. El wrongo. Wrongalicious. Wrongkonkoma, New York.
So, yeah, we feel like idiots here. But in a more profound sense it's truly liberating knowing that nobody has an inside track on the future. In other words, whenever you hear dire predictions of an apocalyptic sort (and a Hillary win sure seemed apocalyptic to us), it's just crap. It may set your adrenals a-tingle, but the little-league Edgar Cayce who's selling that stuff (and likely gold and MREs besides) hasn't a bloody clue.
(This observation also applies to a certain Mr. Tarpley who has stated that we should all be soiling our knickers about now because Obama is undoubtedly the next Mussolini. Naturally, the same Mr. Tarpley has two prolix books to sell on the topic.)
(Be very afraid--but stop by Amazon.com on your way to the bomb shelter.)
We here resolve never to speak with certainty on anything that has not yet happened. It cannot be done.
If you ever catch us again trying to divine future events in tea leaves or in the entrails of sheep, please slap us.
Que sera sera, Baby.

WE ARE SO SCREWED: A Short Primer on the Federal Reserve
This seemingly says it all, and very tersely. (It's from "Zeitgeist," so chew carefully.)

911 BLIMP DAVE: THINK NUKES
UPDATE: Dave discusses his hypotheses with Vyzygoth in an interview (recorded September 30) available at this link.
One of the most daring and most credible theorists regarding the events of September 11, 2001 is our compatriot 911 Blimp Dave, much of whose most compelling research is hosted at his 911 University site.
His newest musings regarding the possibility of the use of multiple mini-nukes at the World Trade Center towers may be viewed HERE. This is his abstract of that section, titled "'Ground Zero' Energy Surplus":
Having first recognized the vast energy surplus accompanying the destruction of the World Trade Center on 9/11, and having then connected the dots on the evidence that points to widespread molecular dissociation at "Ground Zero", we now consider the possibility of the simplest and thus most likely potential source of the form of energy capable of accomplishing that feat: fissionless fusion energy, released from multiple very-low-yield thermonuclear devices.

WE NEVER GET TIRED OF WTC 7
Was the collapse of Building Seven a blunder or a distraction? Whatever the case, it doesn't hurt to remember that this couldn't possibly have happened except by controlled demolition.
And here's some hard science, as opposed to what NIST has been offering up lately:
(Thanks to Lynne!)

PUTTING DIANE REHM ON AN ICE FLOE
Aside from the fact that John Zogby is from my hometown, I consider that John's new book The Way We'll Be is one of the best non-fiction books I've read in years. John Zogby goes way beyond the current election, and offers a truly hopeful message about the resiliency and resourcefulness of Americans, reaffirming our independence of thought and our basic common sense and common decency. From a purely social standpoint, there is no Apocalypse waiting in the wings here. There may be a crisis or two ahead, but we'll make it.
So I really looked forward to John's appearance on The Diane Rehm Show today (as part of his book tour). John was scheduled for the second hour, which is usually the province of "features"--i.e., lots of books about diseases. A discussion with John Zogby about the positive conclusions reached in The Way We'll Be would have been a relief from all the usual cancer talk. Of course, the Rehm people had other ideas. Not satisfied with a positive show that would have actually made people feel better, they had to turn it into an ambush. They brought in a "con" guest (David Moore, who has a book of his own "debunking" polls) and there was absolutely no discussion of John's book. Nor was there much discussion of anything but the current election, and how polling relates to elections, specifically. (John handled this discussion in stride, naturally.)
My only conclusion is that the types at The Diane Rehm Show want to keep the discussion narrow and divisive--and depressing. Hence the parade of the walking wounded Diane Rehm interviews on a daily basis. There is no joy or hope offered either in so-called Public Radio or in the partisan ranting that dominates commercial radio. It's all about keeping people edgy, if not downright angry. In fact, there are very few decent talk hosts I can think of working today, particularly my friends Pete Bianco, a colleague at WHCL-FM, and Vyzygoth. Pete lets his guests speak, and does not attempt to railroad the discussion, a la Rehm. Vyz is without peer in the realm of internet radio.
The shame is, John Zogby wrote a genuinely good, valuable, and upbeat book in The Way We'll Be--and was not permitted to discuss it on national radio. I'd be willing to sign a petition to have Diane Rehm put on an ice floe, though chances are she'd be replaced by someone just as bad (or worse).
And we should send Rush Limbaugh a nice cerebral hemorrhage, just for balance.

"Good 'n' Plenty--A Holocaust of Flavor?" Not quite.
UPDATE (9/24/2008): The ad copy reads, "Realize Your Sweet Dreams. Collect Elite Packages and Fly To America." Just who is doing the dreaming here? (Thanks again to Vyz.)
UPDATE (9/22/2008): This Israeli magazine ad for Elite Candy Bars actually falls into the category of "predictive programming" (or at the very least "unsettling coincidence") since it appeared between 1997 and 2000. (Thanks to Vyz for this image--and for the update.)

AW, SHUCKS
It never would have occurred to either Herb or me to say this about ourselves, let alone emblazon it on a bumper sticker--but we're grateful for and moved by this tribute from Jeff and Lynne of DC 9/11 Truth.

I'll be uploading the interview to a-infos radio shortly after the broadcast.
AN OLDIE BUT A GOODIE: "THE COUP"
"The Coup's" 2001's pre-911 "Party Music" album Cover.
The original album cover art depicted group members Pam the Funkstress and Riley standing in front of the twin towers of the World Trade Center as they are destroyed by huge explosions; Riley is pushing the button on a guitar tuner. The album's planned release date was just after the events of the September 11, 2001 attacks, and the cover art was withdrawn hastily. The cover art was finished in June 2001; there was no connection between the band and the attacks. The album release was held back as alternative cover art was prepared. (Wiki, The Coup) (Thanks to Jeff of DC 9/11 Truth)

"IS THERE LIFE BEYOND THE BOOM?"
While cleaning out the upstairs office, my wife found this New York magazine from March 12, 2001. Predictive programming, or just a ghastly coincidence?
8/11/2008 UPDATE: Last night, I felt like attempting the Guardian crossword in this magazine, and discovered another very odd coincidence. Why all the "elevens?"

KENTROVERSY IS DEAD
We have just learned that Kent Daniel Bentkowski (aka "Kentroversy") died on July 30. Our deepest sympathies go out to his friends and family. He suffered various illnesses (all complications of Hemophilia and its treatment) but maintained his researches and his activism as long as he could. God grant him peace.
Kent's podcasts are available for download HERE.
