On April 30th 2009, Dr Steven Jones gave a presentation in Sacramento, California. He discussed recent scientific findings regarding the collapse of three World Trade Center steel-framed tower blocks in New York City on 9-11.

When I watched this lecture on YouTube, I found it occasionally hard to navigate. So I’ve made a list of the 12 segments, in sequence, for viewing convenience.

This is the story the BBC, ABC – and all the rest of the lying western mass media – are doing their best to avoid.

Dr Steven Jones lectures on 9-11: he lost his academic job, but retained his integrity

Happily, we don’t have to rely on liars any longer.

Nearly eight years from September 11th 2001, ignorance is no longer an excuse. Those operatives in the mass media who actively continue the 9-11 cover-up must by now be regarded as complicit in this horrible crime.

They will have to live with their own consciences for failing to report accurately on the Crime of the Century.

In a society which took justice seriously they would face criminal charges for conspiring to pervert the course of justice.

During August, I had a poll running on this website in which I invited visitors to vote for the name they thought best suited to the small nation-state in the Middle East commonly known as ‘Israel’ since its inception in 1948.

Here are the results:

I didn’t ‘push’ the poll by actively urging people to vote. That invites the Hasbara crowd to fly-by in a rage, like a swarm of angry wasps. So I just let nature take its course.

Now, I’ll admit to some bias. I consider this website is visited by a selection of the smartest people on earth. My dog (rumoured to have an IQ of 250+) assures me most material here is crafted, like fabulous tropical flowers, to attract the most discriminating pollinators.

Therefore I shall take heed of this poll-of-the-well-informed and follow the popular will. Personally, I voted for ‘Rothchildistan’ – but in hindsight the democratic process has yet again come up trumps.

What acronym should I use for the ‘Jewish Apartheid State in Palestine’? Is it JASP – or JASIP? Should that be put to the vote as well?

Nelson Mandela was released long ago: FREE MARWAN BARGHOUTI!

On a more serious note, the vote that’s really needed to sort this tangle is the vote that’s never allowed to happen: that’s a one-vote, one-value poll of all people associated with the land of Palestine in recent times, whether by birth, direct descent or immigration.

It’s often said – and probably true – that Australia has become more secular over the last couple of generations. Yet while the influence of Church Christianity may have waned – that doesn’t say much about Australians’ changing beliefs on social issues.

Scott Steel’s well-researched blog Pollytics.com carries a very informative article entitled: Our Changing Views on the Death Penalty.

Scott summaries the results of a recently-published opinion poll by Roy Morgan Research: Australians say penalty for murder should be Imprisonment (64%) rather than the Death Penalty (23%)

Changing views on the death penalty in Australia since 1947

Roy Morgan has been conducting the same poll within Australia since 1947. Scott has turned the results of polling over the last sixty years – presented in tabular form by Roy Morgan Research – into graphs that show the long term trends very clearly.

The results of more questions related to this topic – and other graphs displaying comparable trends – are available in the Pollytics.com article.

It’s a fascinating piece of research.

I have an antipathy to institutionalized murder and find these results a welcome indication that support for more humane polices continues to grow.

While our political elites have been seduced and cajoled into supporting the war mongering, liberty-restricting policies of Australia’s misguided ‘allies’, Australians as a whole are much less keen on violent solutions to complex problems.

Some people believe that every story churned out by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation newspapers is complete rubbish.

I think that’s unfair.

In the interests of demonstrating this blog is ‘fair and balanced‘, here’s a story from the Murdoch media that’s (a) interesting (b) well-written and (c) amusing.

The Armadillo Magnetic Dog Collar from Total-Tack.co,uk

See Polly the dog swallows 1000 magnets, computer mouse and gloves.

It also has a happy ending.

The only missing ingredient is a reason why the gourmand Blue Healer swallowed 1,000 magnets. I have a theory about that.

I bet Polly became attracted to dogs wearing magnetic collars.

I haven’t visited this blog myself for a while.

The long and short of it is that after a technical glitch broke my flow in early August, I ended up feeling like a holiday from blogging.

So I took a few weeks off.

One of the joys of solo blogging is there’s no-one to fire me for indolence. It’s the freedom to slack off. In a highly evolved society, this would probably be recognized as a human right.

Every day is holy

Over the last few weeks, I’ve spent more time contributing to discussions on other websites. I’ve been quite active on independent Australian blogs such as Crikey and New Matilda. Both are serving a useful role, broadening the political debate in Australia, providing somewhat greater choice of material and opportunities for participation.

Judging by these two ‘alternative’ web media, a significant shift in consciousness is underway in terms of the key topics discussed on this website. But it’s a long slog. Here are a few of the recent articles on which I posted comments:

Articles on the Crikey website

• Ted Kennedy and Chappaquiddick, the true story by Bob Ellis
• Costello’s ABC attacks should be addressed (Crikey Editorial)
• Warnings of a second economic shock wave by Richard Farmer
• No-one forced Grech to concoct an email by Bernard Keane
• Our parliament sabotages our future by Clive Hamilton

Articles on the New Matilda website

• Oil Talks, And The Dying Scapegoat Walks by Alex Mitchell

Four days ago, on Tuesday morning, I made my previous post. It was Part One in what was intended to be a popular series running during Cairns’ Big Week – a week with Prime Ministers and other luminaries from the South Pacific visiting and just a whiff of Terror in the air…

In cyberspace, no-one can hear you scream

Within an hour, I’d managed to stuff up my Wordpress blog – not so badly it broke altogether, but enough to make it near impossible to do new work.

It turns out to have been a faulty plugin issue. I never suspected it might cause trouble, but it did. Once found, problem fixed.

Back to blogging. There’s been incessant chatter about Terror this week, by Terror Chatterers far and wide. It’s been a Terrifying week – another landmark in the annals of true-blue Australian Terror.

Don’t relax! Watch this space.

This is a natural successor to the earlier post Mom and Dad mean business.

There are Portuguese subtitles on this YouTube version of a recent (American) ABC TV feature about the Rosenblats (watch below). You can also see Good Morning America’s interview with Mr Rosenblat here.

Herman and Roma Rosenblat: it was all true 'in their imagination'

Mr and Mrs Rosenblat are a couple of elderly, romantically-inclined Jewish American fantasists.

Their book Angel at the Fence is an Adam and Eve-style tale of love and apples in a Nazi concentration camp. It held America spellbound for years. But the spell lost some of its charm when it became widely apparent that their story is untrue…

The Rosenblats remain unrepentant. Herman Rosenblat says he’d do it all over again – despite the excruciating embarrassment he’s caused his own son. He claims the book continues to do good and work wonders.

This is an account of the saga from the Huffington Post in December 2008: “Angel At The Fence,” Holocaust Memoir, Publication Canceled

The publisher of a disputed Holocaust memoir has canceled the book, adding the name Herman Rosenblat to an increasingly long list of literary fakers and ending with a heartbreaking crash his story _ embraced by Oprah Winfrey among others _ of meeting his future wife at a concentration camp.

“I wanted to bring happiness to people,” Rosenblat said in a statement issued Saturday through his agent, Andrea Hurst. “I brought hope to a lot of people. My motivation was to make good in this world.”

One and a half posts per day is not too stressful.

Today I came across Peter Russell’s Life Expectancy Calculator, which has cheered me up considerably.

Although I was born in the 1950s, it estimates my virtual age as an encouraging 39.6 and reckons I have another 13,700 days to live. Disappointing, of course, to be regarded as mortal at all by a faceless computer application – but that still seems like quite a lot, at least from a 2009 vantage point.

Peter Russell's Life Expectancy Calculator

I may retire from blogging at the age of 90, depending on whether Fidel Castro is still at it. Even though the Cuban health care system is superior, I still think I should be able to out-blog the old fox. Stress over the Bay of Pigs and decades of cigar abuse must surely have taken some toll?

Incidentally, I encountered this gem via Suraci’s feisty blog, which seemed to be down for a few days. I’m relieved the Mossad haven’t got him. Russell’s calculator has its limitations and didn’t ask about whether one maintains a blog that gets up the nose of Israelis

Will Barak Obama still be on Twitter in 2050?

If I eat wisely, exercise and keep my stress levels under control, I may well find out.

This morning Australians heard the news that the so-called ‘Coalition of the Willing’ in Iraq will soon be down to just one member.

After the last troops from a humbled, bloodied, bankrupted Britain exit the country, only troops from a humbled, bloodied, bankrupted USA will be left.

In just a couple of days the Coalition of the Willing in Iraq will be a coalition no more.

The only troops remaining will be American, and even they’re continuing to reduce their role towards making a complete withdrawal by the end of 2011.

Those of us who opposed this disgraceful episode in murderous imperial barbarity prior to March 2003 were often accused of ‘appeasement’ . It was facile reference to events in Europe in the late 1930s, based on a skewed, simplistic view of the history of that era.

The blatant dishonesty of these 21st Century war liars has gone unpunished.

In Australia, a cavalcade of pundits and ‘experts’ were paraded before us in 2002/3 to stir up popular enthusiasm for war. Most of them remain on our screens and in our newspapers today.

They were never particularly successful in generating real war fervor – but helped persuade most conformist politicians their interests lay in regurgitating the same nonsense and going along with the media-sponsored war.

‘Israel’ is such a democracy it’s about time the whole world gets the opportunity to vote on its name.

Palestine wiped off the map

This never occurred in 1948 – a regrettable oversight that can now be corrected.

Keep them clean! (I don’t mean ‘ethnically clean‘)
