Book Review: Conspiracy Theory in America (2013)

The Conspiracy Theory [and Proof] of 20th-21st Century ‘Conspiracy Theory’
by Lance deHaven-Smith (University of Texas Press)

conspiracy_theoryThis marvelous book is a deep, practical scholarly dissection of the origin and application of the term ‘conspiracy theory,’ particularly in America in the late 20th century. DeHaven-Smith is Professor in the Reubin O’D. Askew School of Public Administration and Policy at Florida State University and former president of the Florida Political Science Association; he’s written several books and appeared on numerous national mainstream-media news and talk shows, as well as Alex Jones’ Infowars and other alternative outlets.

This investigation goes straight to the heart of the problem of the coercive state and its sycophants in mainstream academia and media (academedia) who dismiss causal ex- planations of political events with the simple utterance, “Well, that’s only a conspiracy theory.” From the book description on Amazon:

From the book description on Amazon: Ever since the Warren Commission concluded that a lone gunman assassinated President John F. Kennedy, people who doubt that finding have been widely dismissed as conspiracy theorists, despite credible evidence that right-wing elements in the CIA, FBI, and Secret Service—and possibly even senior government officials, and/or the Israeli state—were also involved. Why has suspicion of criminal wrongdoing at the highest levels of government been rejected out-of-hand as paranoid thinking akin to superstition?

Conspiracy Theory in America investigates how the Founders’ hard-nosed realism about the likelihood of elite political misconduct—articulated in the Declaration of Independence—has been replaced by today’s blanket condemnation of conspiracy beliefs as ludicrous by definition. Lance deHaven-Smith reveals that the term “conspiracy theory” entered the American lexicon of political speech to deflect criticism of the Warren Commission and traces it back to a CIA propaganda campaign to discredit doubters of the commission’s report.

He asks tough questions and connects the dots among five decades’ worth of suspicious events, including the assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy, the attempted assassinations of George Wallace and Ronald Reagan, the crimes of Watergate, the Iran-Contra arms-for-hostages deal, the disputed presidential elections of 2000 and 2004, the major defense failure of 9/11, and the subsequent anthrax letter attacks.

Brian’s Column: Does it ever occur to you…

Stream-of-consciousness to fantasy football colleagues on hazards of NFL on TV
By Brian R. Wright

I can’t help feeling, whenever I’m watching an NFL football game, that I have voluntarily submitted my brain to be washed and beat dry with a dirty broom. I’ve entered a programmed reality where it is practically mandatory to check one’s own “I” at the doorstep. Sit still for a barrage of images and sounds with one objective: total submission… in reward for which I can have this magnificent illusion of collective acceptance and material success, especially if my team(s) win.

Here’s how I put it to a friend of mine just last night:

“You should watch NFL football games, the whole purpose is to sell you excitotoxin-dripping crap to eat and drink, buy and use harmful pharmaceutical drugs, live in an unattainable, unsustainable Shangri-la with all the polished (mostly life-and-health-threatening) technologies and conveniences, with Stepford-Wife, cardboard-cutout families and neighbors, continually faking deep wholly externally contrived emotions of joy or sorrow or compassion, and launching into massive personal debt in coordination with our proudly unaccountable debt-junkie government… enabling it to manufacture and sell/deploy ginormous arsenals of weapons/personnel to destroy millions of ‘the Other’ real human beings (these days usually under full obeisance to its similarly sadistic, devil-worshiping pack of dogf***ing puppetmasters, the Apartheid state of Israel)–representing wholly made-up, bogus, overblown, false-flag threats to our freedom and to our sanctimonious, brain-dead, point-and-grunt, perceptual-emotional, shopaholic way of life.

“Hallelujah to the F16 fly bys!

“Morbidly obese Big Brother with nuclear warheads, who can resist?

“… or have the slightest question of OUR NATION’S hallowed collective virtue.

“Put me in, coach! Cheeseburger, cheeseburger. Coke, coke.

“Kill the Muslim sand negroes…

“… you truthers rot in hell.

“USA! USA! USA!”

And these are our countrymen? I gave up cable TV last year, but I bought an antenna this year to be able to ‘watch the games.’ I’m not sure I’ll  be physically or psychologically able to subject myself to the above subliminal ravages much longer. Maybe the Super Bowl in February. Fact is, nobody in my Fantasy Football Land falls into the category of complete unquestioned blind obedience to authority, but I’m afraid they ARE suckers for flag-waving official stories, however absurd. Such as 9/11. They’ll come around. All halfway normal, decent humans will.

THEN… welll, remember back when cable carried no advertising!? My kinda football TV.

 

Movie (Pre)Review: Anatomy of a Great Deception 2 (AGD2)…

… via AGD1 review and comments on the AGD2 Project du Century
By Brian R. Wright

First let’s go back a few years to the original movie conceived, launched, and premiered by one David Hooper, a Detroit-area entrepreneur and can-do guru extraordinaire. The first film has a high-end documentary quality and consists mainly of Mr. Hooper recounting how he came to ask questions about the Official Story of 9/11, particularly on the engineering and architectural weaknesses/contradictions of that feeble yet massive coverup. Then on what he learned  from those questions

Note: you may click on the figure and be taken to the location on Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth (ae911truth.org), where you can purchase the DVD. It is a beautifully rendered package. Or candidly you may view the film for free here on a preferred channel… or on any of a number of YouTube outlets, where the cumulative views have exceeded 30 million and counting.

By the way, here’s my commentary and review on the exciting opening night at the Detroit Fillmore Theater, September 5th, 2014, as well as the lovely weekend celebration at the Hoopers’ classic home on Grosse Ile.

My Review of AGD1

Top_View_Gage_InterviewLike David, I came to question the official story of the 9/11/2001 attacks several years after they took place. But unlike David, my frustration in not being able to get friends, family, and huckleberries to so much as look at the evidence did not lead to creation of a deeply personal movie as a way around these obstacles.

[Opinion polls corroborate that most people do not believe the official story of 9/11. Most of Europe thinks Americans are trapped in a 9/11 ‘Truman Show,’ they keep waiting for us to see it’s not real.] Continue reading

Book Review: The War on Terror (2017)

The plot to rule the Middle East
by Christopher Bollyn
Reviewed by Brian R. Wright

Talk about the perfect book to come along at the right time, The War on Terror is a godsend. For one thing, it’s brief, more important, concise, a book you can hand to a public official or even one of the three good mainstream journalists, and chances are maybe 10% they’ll read it… and correct their thinking.

Lately, Chris Bollyn, long an acclaimed inde-pendent international journalist who has hereto-fore focused on the evidence for Israel’s role in 9/11, has been arguing brilliantly for the dual, related frauds of 9/11 and the so-called War on Terror. This book lays out the convincing if not irrefutable case for the latter: the Israeli-Zionist deep state architecting and execution of the Western Cabal’s war OF terror and Empire to which innocent people of the world have been mercilessly subjected for going-on five decades… the ultimate objective being to fulfill the Greater Israel Project for full-spectrum dominance or destruction of Israel’s neighbors, then the remainder of the planet.

Mr. Bollyn helps the world’s thinkers and carers to finally turn the corner and call out those responsible for all these crimes. [The method I envision is a specially composed inter-national people’s grand jury serving as a Truth and Justice Commission along the para-meters we saw in indicting and undoing the apartheid state of South Africa.]

Background Reading

I feel the reader will find a better grasp of the global forces at play from the following works:

  • My own The Barrier Cloud—a module of my watershed, The Sacred Nonaggression Principle, which I made into a standalone booklet, it describes two essential meta concepts needed for understanding the Western Cabal. 1) The Barrier Cloud itself, and 2) The Men of the Power Sickness (MOPS) archetype and their motivation.
  • Alison Weir’s book—Against Our Better Judgment: How the US was used to create Israel: an interesting history lesson, showing the high-level machinations (beginning with the UK’s Balfour Statement in 1917) behind setting up Israel as a Zionist apartheid state despite no initial popular support in the American Jewish community.
  • Christopher Bollyn’s landmark uncovering of 9/11—Solving 9/11: The deception that changed the world. I reviewed it here. He provides an account that the evidence for Israel’s leading role in planning and execution of 9/11 is overwhelming: destruction of the WTC structural steel, foreknowledge, the suppressed Dancing Israelis story, email notices to Israeli individuals working at the WTCs, etc.
  • Gilad Atzmon’s The Wandering Who?—A true masterpiece, which I have just recently read and reviewed here. It is also a bold and brave book that explores the true nature of what authors like Weir and Bollyn might simply call Zionism but what Atzmon reasons a large segment of (“third category”) Jews is a ‘meta-Zionism,’ constituting a humanitarian prob-lem because of its vastly destructive, collective-mind orient-ation, and now with the Jewish State, unbridled POWER.

Of course, there are many other works forming a background for what Mr. Bollyn is presenting in his devastating handbook about the War on Terror. Dr. Alan Sabrosky, who writes the foreword to the book, notably articulates the case for 9/11 being a “classic Mossad operation” in this landmark video here, and others. Continue reading

Brian’s Column: 9/11 Truth EZ

Logical consequences of facts undisputed by both sides of the Official Story
By Brian R. Wright

On my recent high school reunion I was pleased to get reacquainted with a boyhood friend who is now a retired United Airlines pilot and all around good guy. In a post-reunion email I ventured to him a simple question prompted by a pilot-posted Webpage that argued the impossibility that any of the alleged 9/11 hijackers could even fly any of the Boeing aircraft simulators: “Warren, I’m also wondering how the reported sea level airspeeds could have exceeded their respective aircraft’s VMO (maximum operating velocity) by huge margins.” He didn’t reply to the VMO question, but wrote that he had read a detailed and excellent argument somewhere explaining how the alleged hijackers could have accomplished what appear to be unbelievable—to the general public as well as to more than a few pilots—piloting tasks.

EZ Truths #1: The official story is physically/logically impossible

Many of you know that I’ve written about the 9/11/2001 attacks since roughly 2005, when I began to question the Official Story (OS)… thanks to a videotape, of all things, entitled Where’s the Plane? I just did a cursory look of the search engines and Amazon, and it appears that that tape and subsequent DVD have been scrubbed by the OSIC (Official Story Industrial Complex). No matter, volumes of hard evidence have been produced by reputable scholarly and citizen researchers since the fateful day that scuttle the 9/11 OS for all but the most reasoning-incapable or evasion-determined. I pointed my friend to the Pilots for 9/11 Truth site… and—staying with the aircraft evidence—here’s a table I drew from the groundbreaking video The New Pearl Harbor, by Massimo Mazzucco:

Brian’s Column: Special Note on 9/11/2017

What we now have evidence to produce indictments of those responsible…

911 was a false-flag act of state terror inflicted by global-power insiders—conceived and led predominantly by the Israeli-Zionist deep state (http://bit.ly/2wlAo8l_Fraud_911_War_on_Terror) in coordination with key Neoconservatives running the American government —for the purpose of initiating an unending War of Terror (via a fraudulent “War on Terror:” http://bit.ly/2tZcyxW_Jerusalem_1979_911) against American/human liberty and world peace. The false-flag enemies of 911 are Islam, Muslim Arabs, and Palestinians who have been vilified by contrived-hoax media imagery (http://bit.ly/2gXcTgo_Palestinians_Cheered_Hoax) and bought propaganda fake news.

Trillions of dollars have been transferred to these globalist insiders and their functionaries to conduct the war(s) resulting in millions of innocent human lives lost and 10s of millions  of casualties and displacements, worldwide. As for 911 itself, my book, After 9/11 Truth: The Death Star in Ashes, Humanity Rises (http://bit.ly/2tKCzAY_After_911_Truth), provides a digest of key works demonstrating beyond ALL doubt that the official story is, hands down, the Biggest Lie in world history. [Also note my pdf of 15 Official Story contradictions here (http://bit.ly/2xgT4H4_911_Contradictions)].

We are now at the critical mass level of the 9/11 Truth movement, aiming toward justice. Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth and several other groups have filed in federal court (http://bit.ly/2wlFpu0_911_Justice) for a real investigation—which needs to be a special federal people’s independent grand jury with subpoena power. Now’s the time, people, create the justice and end the madness!
