The conquest and occupation of Libyan is first and foremost a military victory for NATO. Every aspect of the military offensive was spearheaded and directed by NATO air, sea and ground forces. The NATO invasion of Libya was basically a response to the “Arab spring” : the popular uprisings which spread from North Africa to the Persian Gulf. The NATO assault formed part of a general counter-attack designed to contain and reverse the popular democratic and anti-imperialist movements which had ousted or were on the verge of overthrowing US-client dictators.

Political and military considerations were foremost in motivating the NATO invasion: As late as May 2009, the U.S. and European regimes were developing close bilateral military, economic and security agreements with the Gaddafi regime. According the British daily, the Independent (9/4/2011), official Libyan documents found in its Foreign Office described how on December 16, 2003, the US CIA and British MI6 established close collaboration with the Gaddafi government. The MI6 provided Gaddafi with details on Libyan opposition leaders exiled in England and even drafted a speech for him as he sought rapprochement with the outside world.

On the 10th 9/11 anniversary, a September 9 Washington Post editorial highlights what readers hungry for news and information face. Titled, "Ten years after Sept. 11: The gains outweigh the mistakes," it says:

"(C)onventional wisdom (suggests) "We will be hit again" to "Osama bin Laden won by provoking us into a decade of overreaction."

Post-9/11, new millennium Bush and Obama policies eroded democracy, institutionalized state repression, accelerated economic decline, launched multiple imperial wars, and headed America for tyranny and ruin.

Neither will live down that legacy. Nor will complicit Republicans and Democrats, destroying nation for unbridled self-interest. As a result, in the century's second decade, America's no longer fit to live in. Imagine its far worse state years from now, resembling the worst of banana republic harshness, deprivation, and despair.

Palestinians worldwide want it. So do supporters and up to 140 countries. They comprise more than enough to ensure it and full de jure UN membership.

The Palestinian Authority (PA) can petition the General Assembly directly. It has sole admittance power, not the Security Council only able to recommend.

UN Charter Article 80(1) and others empower the General Assembly to recognize Palestinian statehood and take all necessary measures to end Israel's illegal occupation.

Obama's leadership is defined by lawlessness, serial lying and betrayal of the public trust.

For ordinary Americans, his new proposal amounts to a combination left hook, right cross haymaker, decking workers when they need uplifting.

His September 8 "American Jobs Act" address to Congress, in fact, demonstrated his contempt for working households and their ability to see through another thinly veiled wealth transfer scheme to corporate favorites and super-rich elites already with too much.

Here we go again. We've seen it all before strategically timed, especially in America. A previous article explained, accessed through the following link:

It said:

With or without bin Laden, bogymen threats are plentiful. Since WW II alone, America's had numerous ones, including communists, Al Qaeda, Saddam, WMDs, the Taliban, Gaddafi, and a host others yet unnamed, as well as numerous "foiled" domestic ones.

The PakAlert Press, and other popular 9/11 conspiracy websites controlled by the CIA, and known for promoting the controlled demolition theory of the Twin Towers, i.e., an Inside Job, as 9/18/2010 has the following headline: [1]

Pictures Prove Mini Nukes Caused 9-11 Devastation
Posted on PakAlert on September 18, 2010 // 8 Comments
(http://www.pakalertpress.com/2010/09/18/pictures-prove-mini-nukes-caused-9-11-devastation/) and Proven 9-11 Nukes = US Government Involvement

These recent articles at PakAlert CONTRADICT their previous position that 9/11 was an Israeli Inside Job (Israeli connection, 9/11, ALL THE PROOF IN THE WORLD!!) and they now proclaim loudly:

This understanding means we cannot blame the highly unconventional Ground Zero devastation on thermite/thermate/super thermate and “controlled demolition” any more than we can blame it on “jet fuel” or “box cutters.”

Even a child can see there is something wrong with these pictures.

A=Controlled Demolition of a hotel, B=North Tower, C=Hiroshima.

However, before getting on the mini-nuke/Directed Energy Weapon (DEW) bridge-to-nowhere, ask yourself this question:

If PakAlert is suddenly promoting the mini-nuke/Directed Energy Weapon (DEW) story featuring Judy Wood (previously marginalized and isolated from the 9/11 Truth Movement and considered a Kook [2]), there can only be two possibilities:

Option 1. Mini Nukes and Judy Wood are the truth. The CIA now, after years of promoting 9/11 Truth (mis/disinformation) admit:

• Alex Jones is the "Minister of Truth" over a flock of "Truthers," whose church is the "9/11 Truth Movement." Pastor Jones is none other than a member of Project Mockingbird, Jesuit Temporal Coadjutor and alternative Media Gatekeeper for the Vatican: Alex Jones Jesuit Temporal Coadjutor CIA Disinformation Agent.

• "9/11 'Truth' was planned simultaneously with 9/11 itself. That is why you have so many conflicting stories, points of view, arguments and discussions, etc. The Trolls were pre-ordained and planned. So were the major websites (e.g., 911Truth.org, Infowars and Rense.com (Participation in Overinformation, Misinformation as Disinformation, or Who is Jeff Rense?). “It is a known fact that any grouping of five or more will be infiltrated.” - Veronica Chapman, Truther

And on September 18, 2010, The Powers That Be (TPTB, a non-conspiracy acronym [3]) had a change of heart (or maybe grew a conscience) and directed their agents, in this case PakAlert and the CIA, to tell the common man the "truth" about what really happened: that is, it was mini-nuke/Directed Energy Weapon (DEW) instead of controlled demolition that cause the Twin Towers to collapse on 9/11. Unlikely. Click here to read a 9-point refutation of the idea that nuclear devices were used to destroy the WTC buildings.

All you can say about a theory of Mini-nukes and Space Beam weapons is that it is a possible explanation, but that doesn't mean it's true. In fact, the recent disclosure from the CIA-controlled sites, who replaced an impossible explanation of the collapse with a plausible explanation, should alert everyone the Mini-nukes and the Space Beam weapon story (for WTC 1 & 2) cannot be true.

Dr. Judy Wood's research confirms a DEW was used to make the impact holes in the Twin Towers and to demolish WTC 7 (without making a sound) but a DEW explanation cannot explain the collapse of the Twin Towers because:

WTC 7 was a bottom-up a gravity-assisted collapse with a small debris field, while WTC 1 and 2 were primarily top-down, virtually unassisted by gravity and showered debris in a wide radius as their frames essentially "peeled" outward. FEMA: WTC Study, Ch. 5 (05/02) [4]

Option 2. The mini-nukes/DEW is the new story behind the story, behind the story of how the World Trade Center I and II collapsed (highly probable).

New York City Grand Jury Hands Down Indictment on 9/11
By Robert Singer

The Charges:

Plaintiff (The People of the United States) --vs-- Defendants (No CR 95-110 The Powers That Be (TPTB, a non-conspiracy acronym), Mike Rivero, a.k.a. John Wenckus) [1]

Violations: 18 USC Sec. 2332a; 18 USC Sec. 844(f); 18 USC Sec. 1114; 18 USC Sec. 1111;

This case centers on a Metaphysical Catechism (Test) of the Earth initiated (with out prior notice as required by Rule #25443) on September 11, 2001 at the electro-magnetic grid location 40° 42' 41.3852", -74° 0' 44.0064 (One World Trade Center). [2]

I N D I C T M E N T

COUNT ONE (Conspiracy to use incendiary devices to create controlled-diameter holes in metallic targets)

The Grand Jury charges:

1. On 9/6/2001 The Powers That Be (TPTB), the defendants herein, did knowingly, intentionally, willfully and maliciously conspire, combine and agree together and with others unknown to the Grand Jury to remove bomb-sniffing dogs from the World Trade Center I and II, while the defendants and their unknown agents placed AN-M14 thermite charged incendiary devices between the 92nd to 98th floors of the North Tower and between the 78th to 84th floors in the South Tower.

   The object of the conspiracy were as follows:
   - Kill and injure innocent people (1,434 in the North Tower, 589 in the South Tower).
   - Damage the property of Silverstein Properties, Inc. (Larry Silverstein suffered a net loss of 4 billion dollars). [3]
   - Generate confusion surrounding the impact holes in the towers to prevent the discovery of the test of the Earth (Count 2).

   At 8:46 AM on September 11, 2001, TPTB caused the thermite-charged incendiary device to explode creating an impact hole that extended from the 92nd to 98th floors of the North Tower.
   At 9:03 AM on September 11, 2001, TPTB caused the thermite-charged incendiary device to explode creating an impact hole that extended from the 78th to 84th floors at South Tower.

   COUNT TWO (Conspiracy to conduct a Metaphysical Catechism (Test) of the Earth)

2. On 9/11/2001 TPTB, the defendants herein, did knowingly, intentionally, willfully and maliciously conspire, combine and agree together and with others unknown to the Grand Jury to conduct a Metaphysical Catechism (Test) of the Earth that resulting in the deaths of 2,023 persons.

The Powers That Be (TPTB), armed with the lost knowledge from the ancient world Atlantis, in a metaphysical struggle with the Earth are using humans to weaken the earth with environmental damage and pollution. The Question of Questions

“Environmental Damage and Pollution Are the Goal and Not the Unintended Consequence of Our Consumer (shopping) Society.” Dem Bones is Connected To De Debt Bone

It was the object of the conspiracy to determine if the earth was sufficiently weakened, so TPTB could take over and begin the transition to a One World Government and New World Order on 9/12. If you are not a familiar with the works of F.W. Engdahl and the reality of a New World Order conspiracy, visit the CIA controlled Globalresearch.ca website. [4]

The Manner and Means Used By the Conspirators to Further the Objects of the Conspiracy

Among the manner and means used by the defendants to further the objects of the conspiracy were the following:

COUNT THREE (The Conspiracy to use Computer-Generated Video Graphics (CGI fakery) to add an impediment to the discovery of the Metaphysical Test of the Earth).

3. On 9/11/2001 TPTB, the defendants herein, did knowingly, intentionally, willfully and maliciously conspire, combine and agree together and with Mike Rivero, a.k.a. John Wenckus, and others unknown to the Grand Jury, to use fake and/or doctored TV images to create the illusion of real plane crashes at the WTC.

It was the objective of the conspiracy to create an almost impenetrable barrier to the discovery of the Metaphysical Catechism (Test).

All in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1114, 1111 and 2(a)&(b); and Title 28, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 64.2(h). Vincent Bugliosi, United States Attorney

[Prosecutor Note: Normally I (Vincent Bugliosi) won’t take a conspiracy theory case especially one that is Metaphysical (Sartre didn't understand the word metaphysical). I spent the last eight years writing "Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy" where I poked fun of the JFK conspiracy theories. I agreed to prosecute this case because I read The Key to the Secret of the Universe, Part 2 by Robert Singer.
