Melbourne-based ABC 774 radio presenter Jon Faine has had “quite a week” as he explains in this risible video displayed on the ABC’s website: 9/11 conspiracy theorists swamping talkback: Faine

Despite his protestations, Faine seems to be rather enjoying his moment of international fame.

Jon Faine 'feeling targeted'

He explains breathlessly that since the two calls from unionist Kevin Bracken, in which Mr Bracken raised queries about 9-11 on Faine’s talkback show, the ABC’s Melbourne studio has been deluged with complaints. Most of them, it turns out, are from Bracken supporters.

“That will take weeks to deal with!” says Faine, adding “Such is life!” He complains of feeling ‘targeted’.

Perhaps he fears Guantanamo Bay beckons?

Aside from a reiteration of debate-shy Faine’s fact-free opinions about 9-11, we learn one thing that is of genuine interest.

Mr Faine explains that Kevin Bracken called him initially because a debate is underway in Australia about the ongoing War in Afghanistan – without any reference to the unexplained mysteries of 9-11.

According to Faine, Bracken said “you can’t have a Parliamentary debate about Afghanistan unless you also are prepared to talk about what really happened – the truth about what happened – in the World Trade Centre in New York on 9-11“.

Spot on Mr Bracken!

In my Twitter activism about 9-11 I often link to a presentation by David Ray Griffin: Is the War in Afghanistan Justified by 9/11? It’s a lecture Griffin gave to ‘We Are Change Chicago’ in April 2010, which has been reproduced for YouTube in seven segments, each roughly ten minutes long.

Every politician should see this video before debating Afghanistan. Along with Graeme MacQueen’s 9/11 Truth: the Challenge to the Peace Movement it’s essential viewing.

The first segment of Griffin’s lecture is below. For convenient access to all the segments, visit Is the War in Afghanistan Justified by 9/11? This is Griffin’s summary:

“Whereas it is widely recognized that the US-led war in Afghanistan is illegal under international law, because it was never authorized by the UN Security Council, most Americans have believed that it was morally justified as a response to the 9/11 attacks, and many believe it is still justified as a necessary means to prevent another attack originating from that region. My lecture will present evidence showing that both of these beliefs are untrue, so that the 9/11 Truth Movement and more traditional Peace and Anti-War groups should be able to combine forces to oppose this illegal and immoral war.”

Two soldiers from the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) visited Michigan State University last week.  They held an open meeting to do some Hasbara (propagandizing for Israel).

This is what happened…

This video suggests events are progressing in line with the timeline for collapse of the Zionist State discussed in a rumoured CIA report last year.

Something is happening on university campuses. Something big. Students who take part in broad-based actions need not fear persecution. They are the future, they’re learning to become aware of that – and there’s no doubt where most of them stand on Zionist militarism and apartheid.

Let’s reprise that alleged CIA analysis from last year, as reported by Iran’s Press TV:

The CIA report predicts “an inexorable movement away from a two-state to a one-state solution, as the most viable model based on democratic principles of full equality that sheds the looming specter of colonial Apartheid while allowing for the return of the 1947/1948 and 1967 refugees. The latter being the precondition for sustainable peace in the region.”

The study, which has been made available only to a certain number of individuals, further forecasts the return of all Palestinian refugees to the occupied territories, and the exodus of two million Israeli – who would move to the US in the next fifteen years.

“There is over 500,000 Israelis with American passports and more than 300,000 living in the area of just California,” International lawyer Franklin Lamb said in an interview with Press TV on Friday, adding that those who do not have American or western passport, have already applied for them.

“So I think the handwriting at least among the public in Israel is on the wall…[which] suggests history will reject the colonial enterprise sooner or later,” Lamb stressed.

He said CIA, in its report, alludes to the unexpectedly quick fall of the apartheid government in South Africa and recalls the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, suggesting the end to the dream of an ‘Israeli land’ would happen ‘way sooner’ than later.

The study further predicts the return of over one and a half million Israelis to Russia and other parts of Europe, and denotes a decline in Israeli births whereas a rise in the Palestinian population.

Lamb said given the Israeli conduct toward the Palestinians and the Gaza strip in particular, the American public — which has been voicing its protest against Tel Aviv’s measures in the last 25 years — may ‘not take it anymore’.

Some members of the US Senate Intelligence Committee have been informed of the report.

It’s possible, of course, this is just anti-Zionist propaganda.

Also, one should not unquestioningly regard the CIA – or any ‘intelligence agency’ – as a font of wisdom. They are quintessential fonts of disinformation.

But it would be equally foolish to dismiss such a story out of hand. The narrative of escalating collapse once the legitimacy of a regime becomes subject to ridicule is historically accurate; that’s what happened in the cases of the South African apartheid regime and Soviet Union. There are other cases in history. Iran itself – in the late 1970s – provides an example of rapid, revolutionary change.

What must be extremely alarming for intelligent Americans is that the fatal attraction of the US elite to Zionism risks destroying their own nation. The USA is already effectively banckrupt. It’s infrastructure, health and educational systems are no longer the envy of the world. America’s bloated, unaffordable military hyperspend and agressive, absurdly biased foreign-policy is internationally-reviled. The American people are increasingly exasperated with continual betrayal of their best interests by one side or another of a corrupt political duopoly.

It’s not a pretty picture – a long way from the bouyant, optimistic America of not so long ago.

The United States of America itself could collapse into chaos if current trends are projected a decade or two into the future. Expanding the machinary of State repression is no substitute – in the long run – for government by consent.

Toxoplasmosis in rats and cats (report) from Cosmos magazine

The USA and its go-alongs such as Britain and Australia are starting to look like sick rats, infected with something akin to Toxoplasmosis.

In this analogy from nature, America is the giant rat. It is being manipulated by a small, cunning and quite ruthless cat.

Usually rats steer well clear of cats. In theory, the giant rat has nothing to fear. If necessary, it could stomp on the cat in one sudden act of self-defense.

But these rats are infected with something akin to Toxoplasmosis. It makes them do highly irrational things that are not in their own best interests.

The USA, Britain, Australia and other nations infected with Zioplasmosis tend to roll on their backs, legs akimbo and allow cat to eat chunks out of their flesh, bite by bite. Or they go off hunting smaller rats on military expeditions orchestrated in cat-central…

Fortunately, rats have immune systems that can kick into action.

Even Anglospheric rats are capable of regenerating healthy brain function. New, uninfected neurones are on the way – from college campuses around the world.

Our civilisation can recover from acute Zioplasmosis.

It’s happening.
