after
the shocking events of 11th September 2001 during which three modern
multi steel cored high rise buildings were brought down, the truth is
known by many but not admitted to governmentally,
leaving the lie that they were the result of a terrorist attack to
remain as the official truth. From my time in the construction business
I can say with absolute certainty that steel structured buildings
simply do not collapse, even during long
periods of extreme heat, which was not the case in this instance. Not only that but all three came down at near free fall speed, all within the space of a few hours. This could have resulted from nothing other than controlled demolition, leading us to conclude that this was an inside job. JFK to 9/11 Everything is a Rich Man's Trick.

The desired agenda was the
passing of the Patriot Act which trashed the US constitution, and the
military invasion of much of the Middle East, beginning with
Afghanistan. These wars cost millions of lives, trillions of dollars
and had the opposite effect of their stated intention - to reduce and
contain terrorism. The only winners were those individuals who migrated
through the revolving door from Washington to the corporate sector in
the manufacture of weaponry, requiring "forever wars" to sustain it.
The desired result - the destabilization of the entire middle east,
making it easier to manipulate and exploit.
You need to slide the red spot at the end of the red play line back to the beginning.  Above are frames from a third video clip shot from the Hudson River, showing how the top of one of the WTC towers explodes ahead of its collapse. The USA has yet to admit to the complicity of those powerful personalities within the "Estabishment" in their control of the nations Defenses on that fateful day. The original blueprint for this event was hatched in 1962 by the Pentagon Joint Chiefs of Staff led by Chairman Lyman Lemnitzer, called Operation Northwoods. It involved the highjacking of planes, replacing them with drones and the staging of terrorist attacks in the USA which would then be blamed on Fidel Castro, providing the excuse to invade Cuba. When this plan was presented to President Kennedy, he dismissed the proposal and removed Lemnitzer from his post. PNAC (Program for a New American Century) was hatched by a handful of NeoCons in the years leading up to 9/11 and a document they produced in 2000 stated that a new "Pearl Harbour" (false flag) event was required to accelerate its agenda. That is exactly what 9/11 was. After Bush, aided and abetted by the U.S. Supreme Court, stole the 2000 election, the new bunch of neocons surrounding him were only too eager to revive and update Operation Northwoods, though this time with the Middle East in its sights. What I find disturbing today is that so many Americans still accept the official explanation, even though it is so blatantly contrived. It is itself merely a conspiracy theory, not supported either by science or by the facts.  I am of the opinion that the western world is now largely run by a mafia of rich family dynasties, mostly American, which own and control all the major banking and corporate interests, often referred to as the "Deep State", who's people hold key posts in the CIA, FBI, NSA and other departments of importance. The democracy we think exists is no more than a thinly disguised veil. Most institutions set up to protect us from exploitation, including the judicial system, are now paid for or manned by personnel from the very interests from which we seek protection. Note that more recently, those who risked all to bring us the truth of the deceit secretly enacted by our governments in our name, like Chelsea Manning and Julian Assange, now languish in jail without proper legal representation, whilst Edward Snowdon, who revealed the widespread eavesdropping agenda, has had to accept asylum in Russia, where he has remained safe for the past 8 years. Steven Donziger, the human rights lawyer who won a $10bn lawsuit against Chevron on behalf of the indigenous peoples of the Amazon basin, who's habitat had been contaminated, has been persecuted by a U.S. judicial system captured by Chevron, which has yet to pay a cent the Ecuadorian government. Doctors who threatened the revenue stream of Big Pharma by introducing a cheap safe cure for cancer with no known side effects have been and continue to be persecuted. In the USA Jeff Bradstreet had his premises raided and was then murdered and in the UK David Noakes had his premises raided and spent a year in a UK jail whilst his assistant Lynda Thyer was extradited under EU law to France to languish for a year in a Paris prison. Last year, David Noakes was also extradited to jail in France, but managed to escape on bail at the beginning of this year. That will, no doubt, be the last we hear of them, certainly in the mainstream media. 4 years ago I came across an excellent history lesson of the past 100 years, a YouTube documentary put together and narrated by an English history professor entitled "JFK to 9/11 Everything is a Rich Man's Trick", a link to which I posted below. It has now been removed from YouTube (it was only a matter of time), but may still be watched by following this link. Watch it whilst you can.  Many competent studies have been made by scientists, journalists, architects and engineers, resulting in dozens of books, documentaries and a tsunami of internet information, all coming to the same conclusion - that we have been lied to - deliberately misled. At the foot of the page are links to both books and documentaries which may be viewed online. In solving any crime, there is one overriding imperative that detectives must follow to identify the perpetrators: follow the money. The link below is an investigation of the 9/11 money trail. The Corbett Report, published on 11 Sep 2015, 59 min.  What took place on the 11th September 2001 was a massive deception - pure theatre! When three modern multi-steel cored high rise buildings - engineered to withstand earthquakes, hurricanes etc. and more specifically the impact of jumbo jets and the resultant fires - all collapsed in their entirety at almost free-fall speed, the 3rd neatly into its own footprint, leaving not even a single thread of core remaining, this could have been the result of nothing less than an expertly executed controlled demolition, which take many months to prepare for. To suggest otherwise is to relegate America's fraternity of highly trained and qualified building engineers to the realms of incompetence. Nowhere in the world has a single steel framed building ever collapsed in its entirety due to fire.   The documentary "In Plane Site" shows us clips from video footage of the plane that hit the WTC South Tower. It varies in several ways from a regular Boeing 767 passenger jet and appears to have something attached to it's underbelly. My belief is that this plane was a "drone" with its nose packed with explosives.  Shortly after the towers were hit, something managed to punch a neat round hole approx 5m in diameter through six of the recently strengthened reinforced concrete walls of a section of the the Pentagon building in Washington DC which was conveniently out of service at the time, almost reaching the inner courtyard. It is then believed to have been quickly removed, hidden under a tarpaulin. Official sources and the media reported this to be a third passenger jet, yet not a single frame of photographic evidence has surfaced to support this claim. Were a passenger jet to crash into such a structure, one might expect the two 6 ton titanium jet engines, one on each wing, to penetrate the building, whilst the light and flimsy remainder of the aircraft would simply crumble against the outer wall, leaving an immense amount of debris on the lawn, but.... where was it all? Why was there only one hole, not two, and why were the engines and landing gear not found? Subsequent analysis by many experts and engineers conclude that only a fighter jet travelling at high speed or a missile could have made such penetration. Only a U.S. military fighter jet would have a transponder fitted that would enable it to breach all 4 levels of high security surrounding this most heavily guarded building in the world. A missile would be travelling much faster. A 757 passenger jet is 178'-8" long. It's maximum speed, possible only at high altitude is 530mph or approx 778 ft per second. At ground level it moves considerably slower. The frames below, widely available on many websites, cover a time frame of max 2 seconds.The height of the building is 77ft., so the horizontal distance from point of impact to edge of frame is approx. 250ft. A Jumbo Jet could not have crossed this space without being caught on at least some of the frames.
 What happened to WTC Building 7 is rather curious. Barry Jennings, Deputy Director of Emergency Services Department for the New York City Housing Authority, and Michael Hess, NYC Corporation Counsel, entered the building on the morning of Sep 11 shortly after the first plane hit the North Tower. When they got to their respective floors they found the building hastily evacuated - there were still hot cups of coffee on desks etc. They were advised to leave but on their descent there was an explosion that severely shook the building. The stairwell landing below them gave way and they had to climb back up to the 8th floor. They thought they were trapped as the stair wells had been damaged. Miraculously, after a long wait, they were rescued by firemen. When they reached the ground floor they found it a burnt out shell and were told by the firemen not to look down - they were stepping over bodies. The explosion responsible for all this devastation occurred BEFORE the collapse of the WTC's towers1 & 2! Barry Jennings was later interviewed and appears on at least one of the subsequent documentaries, but his testimony was never sought by the official 9/11 investigation. He died on 19 August 2008, just 2 days before the NIST Final Report on the collapse of WTC7 was due for release, but his death was not reported, explained or investigated. He was one of many key 9/11 witnesses to die in mysterious circumstances. Read more  Immediately before and just after the first plane struck the north tower explosions were reported below the basement. Two key witnesses to this were William Rodriguez, a maintenance engineer of 19 years service at the WTC and Kenneth Johannemann, a part time janitor. Both were in the building when the explosions occurred and rescued injured persons. Rodrigues was the only one around with a master key to the stairwells and re-entered the building several times with firemen to rescue more people and allow the evacuation of hundreds who would otherwise have been trapped. He was the last person to exit the tower moments before it's collapse and survived only by diving under a fire truck. The testimony of these two key witnesses was never sought in the official investigation. Both men lost their workplace and consequently their jobs, then experienced difficulty in securing further employment. On 31 August, 2008, Johannemann died of a gunshot wound to the head. This was reported as suicide.
This whole scenario is arguably the biggest confidence trick played on the American public, and indeed on the whole world, since February1933, when Hitler torched the Reichstag Parliament Building in Germany, putting the blame on communist "terrorists"! Up until Hitler's reign, the civilian population of Germany had enjoyed the democratic and personal freedoms that we have all become accustomed to in the West, but that was all about to come to an end.   A similar deception took place not long after the assassination of President John F Kennedy. In August 1964 two U.S. war ships in the Gulf of Tonkin were reported attacked by Vietnamese communists, following which Kennedy's successor by default, Lyndon B Johnson, obtained the mandate he needed for a full scale invasion of Vietnam. But... the Tonkin incident never actually happened!  These chapters of modern history are mentioned here because there are parallels to be drawn between them, the events of 9/11 and what followed. The USA, with the aid of Britain, now had an excuse for military aggression towards Afghanistan and Iraq, action that President George W. Bush and Britain's Prime Minister, Tony Blair had been discussing privately for more than a year prior to 9/11. Almost 3,000 people died in New York on the morning of 9/11. The families of the dead pleaded with the authorities not to seek revenge, yet in the weeks immediately following 9/11, the USA led bombing raids into Afghanistan which left more than 10,000 innocent Afghan civilians dead - more than 3 times the number of 9 /11 casualties - and many more maimed. This was an illegal invasion of another nation, as was the subsequent invasion of Iraq, which was pursued by the USA and Britain in March 2003 despite massive popular protests and demonstrations in major cities all over the USA, in London, and in fact throughout the world. Our voices - those of ordinary citizens, no longer have any effect upon government decision making - they are tolerated but ignored!  Back to 9/ 11 - there are no startling new revelations on this page - all the information is already out there in the public domain, in newspapers, magazines, books, documentaries and lots more on the world wide web. Our purpose here is not to get bogged down in argument with the official 9/11 report, which at best contains inadequate explanations and at worst is a conspiracy to conceal the truth. The gauntlet has already been taken up by a great number of distinguished persons - professors, scientists, architects, engineers, historians, journalists, pilots, ex military and intelligence men, explosives and demolition experts, plus a myriad of groups simply seeking the "truth" that has been denied and concealed. Examining the wealth of evidence that contradicts the official version of events and looking back at similar historical deceptions, we hope to present a picture of the world's powerhouse as it really is, not as the mainstream media desribe it. After 9/11 the words Terror and Terrorism were were repeated ad nausium to generate paranoia and a sense of insecurity among America's civilian population. This page is an attempt to summarise the events of 9/11/2001 along with some pertinent background, following which we must explore how this event has changed our lives and may continue to impact upon our future.
September 2020 update As
we entered the 3rd decade of the 21st century, global warming - the
result of man-made climate change, was becoming all too apparent with
wildfires raging across California, Australia, the Amazon basin and
elswhere, whilst storms and severe flooding also displaced many around the globe.
 Last December,
much of the western world looked on with disinterest, unprepared, as
China went into lockdown in the face of Covid 19, a new coronavirus
pandemic. The ease of air travel ensured that within weeks it had
reached all corners of the globe. The consequences have been tragic.
There has been much speculation as to whether the virus occurred
naturally or was man made. An Australian virologist, having examined
the virus, expressed the view that it was so uniquely tailored to
affect humans as opposed to animals, that the chances of it having
occurred naturally are remote. A plausible hypothosis of its origin
that I came
across is described briefly below:
One of the first corona virus songs to surface on YouTube originated in Dominica - Plandemic. The Commonwealth of Dominica ranks 3rd in the world at containing the pandemic. At the beginning of September 2020, we had recorded only 21 cases, 3 of which were active (recent arrivals who were in strict quarantine) and no deaths. In the summer of 2021protocols for arriving travelers were relaxed and cruise ships allowed to return, just as the delta variant had begun infecting the vaccinated, though typically displaying no symptoms. After keeping covid at bay for a year and a half we are now struggling to contain a surge in cases, hampered by a social media anti vax campaign. As of early September 2021, we have had our first 5 deaths from covid 19, all during the past month. |
.  .  . Some background history 27 February 1933: The
German Riechstad Parliament Building was burnt down by Hitler, who then
blamed communist terrorists and as a result obtained the mandate he
required to pass the "Enabling Act" which effectively overrode civil
rights and liberties. 16 June 1933: Enacted - the U.S. Banking Act of 1933, otherwise known as the Glass–Steagall Act. It imposed banking reforms to protect customers from speculative banking practices. July 1934: High ranking U.S. military man, Smedly Butler, was approached by a group of wealthy US businessmen to orchestrate a coup. The group included U.S.Steel, Standard Oil, Goodyear, Heinz, General Motors, Chase National Bank and Prescott Bush, grandfather to George W Bush. Butler went along with the plot until exposing it in November 1934. President Roosevelt then made a behind closed doors deal with the group and no more was reported. 7 December 1941: Having provoked the Japanese with an oil embargo, U.S. military intelligence had foreknowledge of the imminent attack on Pearl Harbour, Hawaii, where it had a military base, but failed to alert it's ground forces there. They were unprepared when Japan struck. 2,402 Americans were killed and 1,282 wounded. The U.S.A. was then able to generate the mandate it required to enter World War II. 18 June 1948: NSC directive 10/2 sanctioned "plausible deniability", interpreted by the CIA as approval to assassinate foreign leaders, overthrow governments and LIE to cover up accountability. 19 August 1953: The democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran, Mohammed Mosaddeq, was overthrown in a coup organized by America's CIA and Britain's MI6 in retribution for nationalising the country's British owned oil industry in 1951. He was then tried and found guilty of Treason. Iran has the world's 3rd largest oil reserves. The country became ruled as a police state under the Shah until he was overthrown in an Islamic Revolution in 1978/79, during which he fled into exile. An Ayatollah became Supreme Ruler and Iran was transformed from an Absolute Monarchy to an Islamic Republic with a theocratic constitution. In the new millennium demonstrations paved the way for elections in which the Mulla's rule was replaced in 2005 by conservative President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, after winning 62 percent of the vote. He was replaced in elections held in June 2013 by moderate cleric, Hassan Rouhani. 22 November 1963: John F Kennedy, arguably the most popular President in the history of the U.S.A, a strong proponent of equality and civil rights and a seeker of peace, was gunned down in Dallas, Texas, shortly after declaring that U.S. troops would be withdrawn from Vietnam. At the upcoming election for a 2nd term in office, Kennedy had decided to drop Vice President Lindon B. Johnson, who was being investigated for his part in 4 criminal scandals.
2 August 1964: President Lindon B. Johnson falsely reports that 2 US military vessels have been attacked in the Gulf of Tonkin by Vietnamese communists. He responds by sending U.S. troops into an all-out invasion of Vietnam. 4 April 1968: Martin Luther King Jr., a clergyman and Nobel Prize recipient for his efforts to end racial discrimination, was assassinated in Memphis Tennessee. 31 years later, after dogged pursuit by the King family, a wrongful death lawsuit trial took place in Memphis that lasted 6 weeks. It delivered the verdict that "King was assassinated in a conspiracy that included agencies of the U.S. government". 6 June 1968: Robert Kennedy, brother of and Attorney General to John F Kennedy, was assassinated in Los Angeles after winning the California Democratic Primary. Evidence surfaced subsequently to support the claim that the assassin was acting under hypnosis whilst under the control of a department of the CIA which specialised in such techniques.
11 September 1973: The democratically elected president of Chile, Salvadore Allende, is overthrown and dies in a military coup engineered by the CIA under President Nixon and his Secretary of State Henry Kissenger. He was replaced by dictator Augustus Pinochet, who's regime for the next 17 years repressed its own people, privatised education and facilitated the U.S. corporate exploitation of its resources. 8 December 1980: British musician and ex Beatle John Lennon, an outspoken critic of U.S. military involvement in Vietnam and proponent of peace in the world, was gunned down on the steps of his New York home by someone described as a deranged fan. The 1989 book "Who Killed John Lennon" by Fenton Bresler asserts that Mark David Chapman was a mind-controlled assassin programmed by the CIA to kill John Lennon. In the well researched 1991 book "The search for the Manchurian Candidate" John D Marks gives an in depth analysis of the techniques of 'mind control' developed and deployed by the CIA.
20 December 1989: The U.S.A., under President George Bush senior, invaded Panama, a Central American country with no army but which is guardian of an important shipping route connecting the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. Tenders had been received for upgrading the Panama Canal and a Japanese company had won and was about to be awarded the contract. The official justification for the invasion was that President Noriega was peddling drugs to the U.S.A. He was captured and tried in Miami where he has served his sentence but remains in jail. U.S. construction companies profited from the work of upgrading the canal and an American military presence remains. 2 August 1990: Iraq under Saddam Hussein invaded and annexed the small neighbouring oil producing nation Kuwait. Following worldwide condemnation of the occupation, Iraq was given an ultimatum by the USA under President George HW Bush - withdraw by 15 January or face attack.   26 February 1993: A 606kg urea nitrate-hydrogen bomb was brought by truck into the basement car park of the World Trade Centre North Tower and detonated, causing a massive explosion that killed 5 people. Egyptian Emad Salim Salim had been recruited by the FBI to infiltrate the terrorist cell planning this attack, supposedly to provide them with fake explosives in a 'sting' operation. He became suspicious of the FBI intent and began secretly recording the meetings he had with them. When the time came the FBI provided him with real explosives to give the terrorists. 19 April 1995: The Alfred P Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City was destroyed by bomb blasts killing 168 people and injuring 680. A Ryder truck filled with explosives, allegedly driven by Timothy McVei, was parked in front of the building before being detonated. Strangely, a Ryder truck appears in an aerial photo taken a few days earlier in an Army compound just outside Oklahoma City. Timothy McVei could not have been acting alone as other explosive devices were also found within the building. As a direct result of this incident the U.S. government passed the 'Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996'. 12 November 1999: Glass–Steagall Act repealed, removing the barrier between regular banking and speculative investment banking, ushering in an age of financial risk taking. Subsequent financial scandals and bank failures have eroded public confidence in today's banking system. 1996 to 2000 saw a new security system installed at the World Trade Centre by the firm Securacom, headed from 1993 to 2000 by Marvin Bush, younger brother of George W. 7 November 2000 USA Presidential Election fraud. Tens of thousands of mostly coloured democratic voters in Florida were denied the right to vote in the state where George W's brother Jeb was Governor. Democrats still narrowly won but the recount was stopped and a partisan Supreme Court ruled in favour of Bush, awarding him the 25 electoral seats for Florida which swung the overall election result in favour of Bush and the Republican Party.. Official results:
 24 July 2001 Larry Silverstein, a Jewish American businessman from New York, obtained a 99 year lease on the loss making world trade centre complex, costing $3.2bn. He received an insurance payout of $4.55bn in 2007. On the morning of 9/11 he and his daughter broke their daily routine by not breakfasting at the Windows on the World Restaurant on the 107th floor of the WTC North Tower.  3 September 2001 ZIM, an Israeli company, 49% owned by the Israeli Government, occupying 10,000 square feet of office space in the WTC North Tower, vacated its offices and prematurely broke it's lease, at a cost of $50,000. 6-10 September 2001 Insider Trading - according to a CBS News report on the afternoon of 10th September, throughout those few trading days the sale of put options (stock market bets on a stock price falling) was 90 times higher than normal on shares of United Airlines. During the afternoon of 10 September, this figure had increased to 285 times normal volume and was 60 times above normal for put options on shares of American Airlines. The number of put options sold for other airline companies remained at normal levels. 8+9 September 2001 (weekend) were 2 days of "power down" at the WTC towers. Whilst a team laid miles of new cable inside the buildings, all entrances remained open and cctv surveillance was off. Wirt D Walker III, cousin of George W was head of Securacom, the security company responsible for the security of these two buildings from 2000 to 2003. 11 September 2001 was day two of operation "Vigilant Guardian", a U.S. military exercise conducted by NORAD (North American Aerospace Defence Command) which envisioned passenger aircraft being hijacked by terrorists and used as weapons to fly into buildings. This was just one of six such war games in progress that day. The others were Vigilant Warrior, Northern Vigilance, Northern Guardian, Global Guardian and a CIA/NRO (National Reconnaissance Office) 'plane into building' simulation at NRO headquarters, Virginia (4 miles from Dulles International Airport, where flight 77 originated). All these exercises, overseen by Vice President and Defence Preparedness Chief Dick Cheney that morning, ensured that war planes normally stationed at locations near to New York and Washington DC were nearly all either over Alaska, Canada or 120 miles out to sea over the Atlantic Ocean, thus conveniently incapable of responding to the real events of the day. NRO staff, having been evacuated, were unavailable to utilise the satellite tracking information normally available to them. 9/11/2001 on the day - as it happened 7.59am. AA flight 11 takes off from Boston. At 8.14am contact is lost. 8.40am NORAD informed of hijacking. 8.46am plane crashes into WTC (World Trade Centre) North Tower 8.09am. AA flight 77 takes off from Dulles. 8.51am contact lost. 9.37am explosion at Pentagon - media reports are that it was flight 77 crashing into the Pentagon that caused the explosion 8.14am. UAL flight 175 takes of from Boston. 8.42am contact lost. 9.03am plane crashes into WTC South Tower. 8.30am. Control of NMCC (Pentagon's National Military Control Centre) transferred to Captain Charles Leidig. 8.42am. UAL flight 93 takes off from Dulles. 9.28am. contact lost. 10.03am plane reported to have crashed on waste ground in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. 8.55am. President George W Bush is informed of the first crash whilst listening to children read at a primary school but instructed by press secretary Ari Fleischer "Don't say anything yet". 9.59am. WTC South Tower collapses in its entirety following live media reports of several explosions. 10.28am. WTC North Tower collapses in its entirety 4.54pm.(21.54GMT) BBC's Jane Standley reports from New York that WTC Building 7 has also collapsed, but it can be clearly seen still standing through the window behind her.
In above frames from  of
WTC Building 7 starting to collapse, note the vertical line of
explosions appearing from inside the building and the plume of white
smoke emanating from the roof.7 October 2001 The U.S.A., with the support of Britain, launches bombing raids into Afghanistan using not only conventional bombs but cluster bombs and depleted uranium shells, which leave more than 10,000 innocent Afghan civilians dead and many more maimed.  26 October 2001 The USA Patriot Act (Uniting + Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept + Obstruct Terrorism) was signed into law by President George W Bush. Closely resembling Hitler's "Enabling Act", it condones torture, bugging, wire tapping, computer hacking, detention without trial etc., effectively trashing the USA Constitution and the people's Bill of Rights.    Sadly,
after a 2 year battle with cancer, he passed away on 5th March 2013.
His funeral was attended by millions and by world leaders from all
corners of the globe. He has been succeeded by Nicolas Madura following elections held in April 2013. 19 March 2003 The U.S.A. invaded Iraq, with support from Britain and small token forces from Australia and Poland. 7 July 2003 Whilst British forces carry out an exercise that pre supposes terrorist bombs are planted in London's underground tube stations, that very scenario unfolds for real - coincidence???. Whistle-blower Tony Farrel, a senior police officer and intelligence research analyst, later revealed that it was an inside job. He was fired as a consequence. 2 November 2004 Another USA Presidential Election fraud! After the illegal and hugely unpopular invasion of Iraq, the American people were ready to expel George W Bush from office. Half of the 6 million American voters living abroad did not receive their ballots or received them too late to vote. The tactics used to disenfranchise democratic voters in Florida in 2000 were expanded upon nationally, most notably in Ohio, where the man in charge of the vote count, Ohio's secretary of state Kenneth Blackwell, was the co chair of President Bush's re-election committee. Over 350,000 were denied the right to vote in Ohio, resulting in Bush gaining 20 electoral seats in that state, which once again swung the result in his favour. There were inexplicable discrepancies between expertly conducted exit polls and actual vote counts in no less than 30 States, deviating to an extent that cannot be accounted for by their margin of error. Official results: During
the final hours of his presidency, George W Bush granted no less than
140 presidential pardons - a flagrant abuse of Presidential powers.
 Late 2008 saw
financial giants Freddy Mac, Fannie Mae and Lehman Brothers in
difficulty after escalating sales of toxic sub prime mortgages and a period of propping up their share prices with false accounting.  4 November 2008 Democrat Barack Obama elected the USA's 44th President. Turnout was high - 15.5% more votes were counted than in the previous election. Even
the widespread vote rigging apparatus was not sufficient on this
occasion to suppress popular opinion in the USA, though it did help to
disguise the massive gulf in popularity between the two parties. A pre
election straw poll conducted online worldwide by the weekly Economist
newspaper had Obama overwhelmingly ahead with more than 90% of the
popular vote but the official figures released brought this down to a
mere 52.9%. Official results:
 We, the citizens of the world, already appreciated from the two books he had written, that Barack Obama was a worldly intellectual with a well balanced sense of values who knew how the system works and was better equipped than most to transform it. Expectations were high, especially among foreign leaders who had come to mistrust George W Bush.   28 June 2012 Britain's SFO (Serious Fraud Office) reveals another "bankster" scandal. Major western banks have colluded to misrepresent LIBOR (the London inter-bank offered rate) and EURIBOR (Euro interbank offered rate), fraudulently profiting from massive derivative trades, betraying a culture of casual dishonesty which sets the stage for some serious litigation. Barclays received a £290m fine from the FSA (Financial Securities Authority), being the first bank to volunteer cooperation. CEO Bob Diamond first resisted calls for his resignation then succumbed, demanding a £22m payoff. At least 12 other banks worldwide, including HSBC, RBS, Citibank, JP Morgan Chase, Lloyds Banking Group, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial, Deutsche Bank, Credit Agricole, Societe General and Credit Suisse, are being investigated and are likely to have heftier fines imposed. This could well set the stage for the next GLOBAL financial meltdown, likely to coincde with the start of Obama's 2nd term in office. 19 August 2012 Australian journalist, founder of WikiLeaks and forefront in the battle for journalistic freedom, spoke to supporters gathered outside Ecuador's London Embassy following Ecuador's offer of political asylum and Britain's refusal to allow his safe passage. He has committed no crime in the UK.  2019 update - following a change of leadership in Ecuador, Julian's asylum rights have been violated. He was dragged from the Ecuadorian Embassy by British police and has since been languishing in Bellmarsh prison, for the most flimsy of charges - flouting bail conditions, even though the individual who put up and lost his bail continues to support Julian. His only crime has been to inform the public of the misdeeds of our governments, carried out in secret. For that the USA seek his extradition. On the 3rd Septeber 2019 a crowd of several thousand gathered in London to protest his continued imprisonment. 
September 11, 2012 On the 11th anniversary, federal officials announced that first responders and other survivors exposed to toxic compounds at Ground Zero may now be entitled to free cancer treatment for the first time. The U.S. government has added over 50 types of cancer to its list of illnesses covered under the Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, signed by President Obama in 2011. More than 1,000 deaths have been attributed to illnesses stemming from the 9/11 toxic dust generated at Ground Zero. 9th reported death at Guantanamo Bay detention centre. September 27, 2012 Julian Assange addresses the  United Nations General Assembly via satellite video link 6 November 2012 USA's 44th President, Democrat Barack Obama is re-elected, despite 81% of over $1bn of corporate election funding going to the Republicans. The world watched as a nationwide campaign by the GOP of voter suppression, deception and confusion aimed to disenfranchise poor, mainly coloured Democratic voters. Though partially successful, voters were determined and many queued for several hours to cast their ballot.

sought sanctuary outside the USA before making his findings known. Even
so the USA has pressured many foreign governments in a effort to
extradite and silence him. In September further revelations of the
NSA's illegally obtained "back door" access into encrypted internet
security systems used by banks and commerce and eavesdropping on world
leaders has strained relations with many governments around the globe. September 2019 update - Edward Snowden gives an interview to France24 on 9th September 2019  September 2020 against a backdrop of anti-racism protest marches sweeping the nation and failing, chaotic, uncoordinated attempts to contain the Covid19 pandemic, the Unfortunate State of America prepares for yet another sham presidential election in which those not purged from the voters roll are limited to a choice of just two ancient sexist right wing corporate funded white male candidates fast approaching senility. Its all just a show!  Distraction
is the name of the game as the bloated military industrial complex
continues to manufacture the excuses required to sustain forever wars.
Endless money printing by the Federal Reserve and other central banks,
however, is soon likely to undermine the value of our fiat money and
the hegemonic financial dominance of the U.S. dollar as the world's
reserve currency.
