CITIZEN INVESTIGATION TEAM CENSORED ON PRISON PLANET--AND ALMOST EVERYWHERE ELSE

UPDATE: Download the Vyz interview with Craig Ranke where this issue is discussed.

You'd think being a truth-teller in an ostensible Truth Movement would make one popular within said Movement. Not so fast, Diogenes. Craig and Aldo of the Citizen Investigation Team find themselves practically personnae non gratae almost everywhere but here and here. Jeffrey of the Rock Creek Free Press sent me the following screen shot of a post revealing how Alex "Arbiter of Truth" Jones has banned mention of CIT work from his site.

WHY DO YOU THINK THEY CALL IT "KINDLE?"

UPDATE (8/13/2009): Not that online petitions ever do a damn bit of good, but here's one regarding Kindle's 1984 hijinks.

UPDATE (8/1/2009): In this week's New Yorker, Nicholson Baker takes a swipe at Kindle (No mention of the disappearing Orwell trick, however.)

In a supreme stroke of irony worthy of Orwell himself, Amazon erased the text of 1984 from its Kindle digital readers--even as said text was being read. Mark Hershon writes about the episode here. (Thanks to Randy Maugans.)

Kindle is on the face of it a useful gadget and offers certain advantages, but paper books are far more simple and elegant in that they are cheap, portable, and require no batteries. And text on dead trees doesn't vanish in mid-sentence due to any glitch, whim, copyright tussle--or government edict. The durability and immutability of the printed word far outweigh the capacity to monkey with typefaces and backlighting. Gutenberg had it right after all.

INTERNECINE STRIFE ON PRISON PLANET

Alex "The Voice of God" Jones and his wife Kelly "Free Speech Incorporated" Jones are revoking the "copy and distribute freely" provision regarding his fearmongering videos. An insider tells all. (Thanks again to Vyz!)

A FURTHER SALIENT NOTE ON FLIGHT 77

Shortly after posting the program mentioned immediately below, Vyz received the following note from a listener:

Keith,

Here's a memory that came back to me as I listened to Craig while pulling up weeds in the garden. I was working my mailman gig on 9/11, listening to the radio as I cased up my route. When I heard the news about the Trade Towers I was as amazed as everyone else around me. But having a suspicious mind forces one to immediately raise up the BS antenna whenever something like this happens. As the day went along and the news of the "plane flying into the Pentagon" reached my ears I knew immediately that something was very wrong.

The military has something called a CIWS (close in weapon system) which serves as a last line of defence. I remember hearing 'speculation' when I was in the Navy (late 70' early 80's) that systems similar to the Pheonix CIWS we had on our ship were in place on the Pentagon and the White House to protect against suicidal flyers or missiles. The CIWS is a automatic machine gun that fires spent uranium projectiles directed by a computerized radar system that controls everything. Turn it on and anything that gets in range is destroyed. Spent uranium projectiles will rip through anything that flies. I never heard any question from the media to the military about the presence of the CIWS. And as far as the videos of the event, I guarantee you that if an unauthorized ant is walking on the pentagon lawn, they have a hidef picture of it.

On that bizarre day in September I remember a gigantic WTF going through my mind when the tale of a plane hitting the Pentagon was told. I remember thinking: "How could those fools (and there are a lot of fools wearing brass) forget to turn on the CIWS system after planes had just hit the WTC and some planes were still unaccounted for?

Just a thought,
JB

Craig Ranke and Vyz on Flight 77

Craig Ranke, of the Citizen Investigation Team, discusses Magical Mystery Flight 77 on Think or Be Eaten with Vyz in a program available for download at this link.

Indeed what, if anything, hit the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001? It sure as hell wasn't American Airlines Flight 77.

I Talk Nock With Vyz on TOBE

My recent conversation with Vyzygoth on Think or Be Eaten regarding Memoirs of a Superfluous Man and other writings of Albert Jay Nock is now available for download at this link.

UTICANS IN PERCALE?

Chip Berlet and Terry Gross got together today to discuss "wacky conspiracy theories" and why they make certain white men get trigger happy. Fortunately, those of us who doubt the Official Conspiracy Theory of Sept. 11, 2001 merely got the usual condescension from Berlet, who accuses us of "oversimplifying" and indulging in "magical thinking," and believing that everything will be peachy once the culprits are caught and convicted.

First of all, and most importantly, most of us who have taken more than a few spins on this planet realize that identifying the Real Criminals of 9/11 isn't going to solve a Goddamn thing. Knowing that the Official Story is crap is its own reward. It will not restore sexual potency or grow hair on a billiard ball. Nor will it feed all the starving children in Africa or provide me the money to buy the exquisite 1916 Steinway Model O I test-drove today. If such knowledge is power, it's like one of those batteries you make by sticking a penny in a potato.

Second of all, we don't hate anybody. We don't even mind dorky shills like Berlet (who used the word "milieu" at least three times today in an attempt to break Dave Emory's old record).

Lastly, we're not "lefties" or "righties," and although we're "whiteys," we're not "tighties." So who's oversimplifying now, eh Chipper?

MIXIN' METAPHORS WITH AJ

The first minute is a psychedelic smorgasbord of Alex's verbal imagery--all by way of introducing renowned reptilian theorist David Icke. Yep. (Thanks to Vyz!)

MY TOP FIVE BOOKS: THE MINISTRY OF TRUTH

UPDATE (6/15/2009): Herb talks about his top five books in an excellent program downloadable at THIS LINK.

Today I had a wonderful conversation with Gordon Comstock to discuss five books I consider indispensible. (I was feeling slightly taciturn--I spoke for only an hour and eight minutes.) The interview is already posted on Gordon's Ministry of Truth audio page, and may be downloaded from this link.

One of my main five is Albert Jay Nock's Memoirs of a Superfluous Man, now deplorably out of print--and commanding rather steep prices on such sites as ABE books. Fortunately, thanks to the Mises Institute, this excellent book may be downloaded in pdf format from this link.

GOTTA LOVE BILL HICKS!

Besides your humble correspondent, contributors include (in order of appearance) Dwight Ward, Philip Collins, Randy Maugans, Gordon Comstock, Paul Collins, Larry the Contractor Guy, and Vyz himself.

And Ang's layout and design of Inside the Grassy Knoll is delightful. (Check out the STP sticker on the car "made of twine and twigs!") This is a beautiful publication, and one that I'm proud to have contributed to. Enjoy!

PREDICTIN' DA FUTURE WITH FETZ AND CAPTAIN MAY

I missed hearing all my favorite Truthy-types until I discovered that Unca Jim Fetzer was broadcasting on Revere Radio. But he's not the same old Fetz. In this broadcast he's scarcely to be heard as he lets the redoubtable Captain Eric May go on at length about the terror attack that was destined to take place this month in Chicago, with the Sears Tower as the Roman Candle du jour. I can only assume that Jim went out for a beer and a snack as the Captain held forth.

I gotta say I've barely been paying attention to the news these days. Did the Windy City actually get whacked? With all due respect to Eric May, I hope not. It's my ambition to try a Maxwell Street Polish sausage sandwich before I step off the planet.

Truly, if there's no kielbasa, the terrorists have won.

UPDATE: For those unable to listen to the two-hour program, this video clip will give you the flavor of the interview:

NWO "ROMARABIC" WATCHES AVAILABLE ON EBAY

UPDATE (April 9, 2009): Buy your Romarabic pocket watch HERE. (Also available in black and beige.)


BERNE, SWITZERLAND (DUI) The International Council on Numeration has voted unanimously to institute the new "Romarabic" system of numbering to be phased in over the next two years. Council Chair Claus Hess said the change in numbering was long overdue because "Roman numerals are very hard, you know, with all those letters and things--while Arabic numerals are too easy and logical. Here we seek to level the playing field so that it will again be as much of a challenge to do basic multiplication as to read the cornerstone on some old building."

Math historian James Murray Staunton of NYU had mixed feelings about the change. "It's an exciting era to be living in, but the new system makes both the old Roman numerals and the standard Arabic numerals obsolete. Now everyone will have to go out and buy new clocks and watches to stay in compliance. And then there are house numbers. I just bought nice new brass house numbers, and I'm not ready to junk them. "

And Dale Wayne Marks, host of Patriot Radio Network's "My Cold Dead Hand," is suspicious of the move. "This is just the NWO at work again, trying to reduce us to a mass of slobbering ignoramuses. Fine. Take away our analog TV sets and force us to buy our Bourbon in metric bottles. What did you expect? This is just another insult from the Illuminist serpents in their ploy to render us subject to their Luciferian One-World rule."

Romarabic watches are now freely available on eBay and from other sources. Mr. Hess has published a guide to Romarabic numeration in Esperanto, Urdu, and Inuit. "It's a very elegant system once you get the hang of it," he said. Numeric conversion should be fully implemented by early MMX2.

WITH ALL DUE RESPECT . . .

. . . I find it difficult to agree with or even get along with anyone at the moment.

I think Nellie McKay says it best.

. . . BUT NOT THAT LONELY

UPDATE 4/6/2009: The Ministry of Truth is now officially up and running again!

This brief note, dated March 22, on Gordon Comstock's Ministry of Truth site:

There's been chatter. The Ministry might be about to reconvene. Stay tuned.
