GORDON DUFF: AUGUST MUSINGS
AS I OFTEN SAY, “IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE NEWS, MAKE UP YOUR OWN….EVERYONE ELSE DOES”
By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor
As head of the editorial board of a military publication, sometimes it would be better if I stayed in bed. If you are a journalist and not entirely insane, which would make you a rarity, you check the morning output of others, I won’t call it news, I know better. All that’s out there is brazen lies, pretty-much anyway. Some gems do come in, this time from Jon Stewart ,his piece on the imaginary “Ground Zero Mosque” controversy. Thank you Jon Stewart. I have pride in one American this morning. The sad part, of course, is that Stewart’s excellent video deriding the phonies and bigots on this issue makes much of America appear unwholesome, dishonest and disgusting. We are talking about Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin aficionados. Give me an illegal alien anytime.
The next email is from editor Jeff Gates, sending me a photo of the USS John S. McCain, the new destroyer named after wartime collaborator Senator John S. McCain of Arizona. If you don’t know about John McCain’s dismal record as a POW or his disgusting life since returning from what he describes as “imprisonment” by North Vietnam, I suggest you look into it. Naming a ship after him should have been done well after we built the USS Benedict Arnold. However, as much as it irks Jeff, former Chief of Staff to Senator Russell Long, one of the great legislative powers of the last century, I still find McCain charming. Yes, he is a sociopath but so in Newt Gingrich. In fact, this is what Gingrich’s staff calls him, “our sociopath.” They think its funny.
I don’t.
My wife, who reads newspapers, I can’t stomach them myself, read the the stories from Newt’s second wife, calling Newt a serial adulterer. Actually, Newt is called much more, in fact a monster. That he is the Republican Party’s front runner for president is pretty amazing. This man is a total moron, delusional. Of course he thinks he is a genius. Most sociopaths are like that.
I was thinking, yesterday, of writing a piece on politicians in general, how stupid most of them are, how divorced from reality. Our local member of congress is Marcy Kaptur. She is a liberal democrat, with some exceptions, she is anti-abortion and anti-women’s rights. She is a single girl in her 60s, never married, devoutly Catholic and very ethnically Polish, that part generally a good thing. Poles are wonderful people.
Nick Hauptricht, a local vet activist, has been working with Kaptur for many months on a series of veteran’s memorial issues. Kaptur was one of the prime movers in the World War II memorial opened in 2004. What I remember most about this is Kaptur stating that she was amazed to find out we had no World War II memorial. Apparently, a constituent had written her about it. She had, of course, served in congress for 20 years at the time, a senior member of Defense Appropriations. She had walked, daily, past the Lincoln Memorial, past the Vietnam Wall and Korean War memorial for decades.
She didn’t know there was no World War II memorial. Maybe only 200 million Americans knew that first. Now Kaptur knew and was going to fix it. What else didn’t she know? What else doesn’t she know? This is scary.
My point? Politicians, not just in Washington but every town and township in America are a pack of morons. Public life, what we call the decision to give up honest work and try to bilk bribes out of the rich by passing legislation letting them steal from the middle class, attracts an unsavory lot. City after city, state after state, it’s all the same, those in government always being led around by the nose, especially judges. There is nothing more political than being a judge. Judges control how laws are enforced and 90% of laws are commercial, not even civil or criminal. Without Judges, there would be no real crime. It would have taken a million bank robbers to do what Bernie Madoff did. How many prosecutors, FBI agents and judges looked the other way for decades while Madoff and the thousands of thieving clones robbed America blind?
Over the past two decades, over $200 million dollars, stolen from American workers, their pensions, their insurance, was paid to politicians, bribes, donations, vacations, “soft money.” Now we are awaiting a similar flood to buy our next election with planeloads of cash, drug money from Afghanistan, buying the attack ads on television, paying bus rentals for moronic white supremist demonstrators or for “Koran burnings.”
John McCain may not remember that he trained North Vietnamese gunners to shoot down American planes. He may not have his presidential pardon, from Richard Nixon, on the wall of his senate office. He may not even know how many houses and cars he owns but at least he doesn’t sound as stupid as Palin. A destroyer named after him? Oh come now. Maybe. Take out the navigation, remove the weapons and make the crew all former Viet Cong, then we can call it the USS John S. McCain.
Remove the turbines and install oars. Make the children of the POWs that weren’t returned from Vietnam, the hundreds of them, the ones McCain helped North Vietnam hide, make them row. Then you would really have the USS John S. McCain. Make Bud Day, “medal of honor” winner the captain, have it sail, endlessly lost, in circles and it would be even more of a USS John S. McCain. The “Bud Day” reference is an inside joke for those who know the story on the McCain coverup and how a Congressional Medal of Honor can be given out for reasons other than heroism. Something very sick, very dishonorable happened and almost everyone is helping cover it up.
Here is what I suggest: Rename the John McCain the new USS Liberty. Though the younger McCain isn’t responsible for the acts of his father, he and hundreds of other thieving politicians helped cover for Admiral McCain, father of our current miscreant. McCain the admiral and Lyndon Johnson cut a deal with Israel to murder the crew of the USS Liberty, sink the ship and then attack Egypt. When the ship didn’t go down, although Israel had napalmed, torpedoed, bombed, rocketed and strafed it for hours, Admiral McCain had to call the planes back from their attack on Egypt. Lyndon Johnson’s Israeli mistress must have been disappointed.
I suspect other things disappointed her anyway.
If the USS Liberty had been sunk, it would have been another Israeli national holiday. America would have destroyed Egypt for Israel. The sneak attack by Israel that started the Six Day War, oh, I am sorry, you heard it some other way? What I meant to say is that the Six Day War might have only been 5 days. Maybe the thousand Egyptian POWs that Israel executed in the Sinai might still be alive. Ah, the misdirections of the press and the lies we have been brought to believe for decades…..
This brings me back to the Jon Stewart piece. I can’t post the video, not directly from the Comedy Channel. For the clueless, those who believe in the tooth fairy or that Jews who hate Goyim and are directed by the Torah are less dangerous than Muslims who follow the Koran. The “King Torah” is not translated into English. It openly advocates sex with children, lying, killing Christians, children in particular, and is the best selling book in Israel. Nobody burns that but all over America, “church” groups will be burning Korans.
Of course, this is the same America where protecting our own children from sexual abuse by religious leaders has become a major concern to every family. Everything you can say about a Jew you can say about a Hindu or Christian or Muslim. Religion seems to attract the same quality of people as politics. Isn’t religion really politics under another name? Didn’t Clauswitz say that? I could be mistaken.
The rape of Iraq and “the Great American Opium Plantation” in Afghanistan was pre-staged in pulpits across America.
Some honest talk about 9/11. With all the talk about hijackers, there is no proof the planes were hijacked at all or if they were, who did it. There is proof, much more proof, that the planes were remotely controlled. Frankly, I find both ideas silly. There were no Arab hijackers and I find the idea of remote controls too “science fiction.” What I do believe, however, is that our own government contracted with the Mossad, using money from Saudi Arabia, to stage 9/11.
Air Force pilot friends tell me I am wrong and that it really was “remote controls.” I will have to look that up in the 9/11 Commission Report. This is another inside joke. Almost nothing is in the 9/11 Commission Report, even the commission’s request to have most of their witnesses prosecuted for perjury.
Yes, as Alan Sabrosky said, Israel did it, but they were hired. They didn’t think it up themselves. As much as we look for names, there is only one real person responsible for an operation that may have taken as many as 1500 people to perform. George W. Bush gave the OK for 9/11. He and his cronies planned it well before the election, a rigged election. Why was it so important to change our constitution to get Bush in office?
9/11.
He had work to do, thousands of Americans to kill.
Bush did it, Israel was the tool. I am told this is a “chicken and egg” thing. I can see that, without Pearle and Wolfowitz or going back to Henry Kissinger, the puppetmaster and puppet concepts can be unclear.
Jeff Gates would point out that the Bush family has been little but tools of Israel for many years and that most of America has been under the control of an organized crime conspiracy run out of Israel. I didn’t believe that.
Then he asked me why I didn’t believe it. That became a problem. All I could do is quote books and newspapers, TV shows, many of them “fiction” that made up my belief system. I knew Zionists controlled the news, the TV, even the books, in fact, much of my education. It was easier to “go along” than to do what was right. Standing up to lies is what is right. Believing what you are spoon fed is laziness. I was guilty.
I always knew 9/11 was a government “black op.” We all did, at least those I hang out with, with a few exceptions and now, even they are all onboard. I also know that many of our political leaders, our military leaders, not only know Israel was involved in 9/11 but that Israel manipulated the whole thing, the American side too.
I still want to blame George W. Bush. Yes, he is insane. Yes, he is a heartless sociopath, delusional, addicted, twisted and evil. He still could have stood up for America. John McCain could have also. I can understand Lieberman turning on America. He has never really been an American.
9/11 was only a few thousand people, police, firemen and one Israeli custodian working at the World Trade center. With a secret world government somewhere, unnamed, invisible, a ghost government that spends tens, perhaps hundreds of millions each year to convince the world it is only a conspiracy theory, running the world, anything can happen.
Is a nuclear weapon going to go off at one of our ports? Is a dirty bomb going to be exploded in Times Square? Is one of those Stinger missiles that Israelis talk about in DEBKA going to shoot down an airliner on 9/11? What will it take for America to invade Iran for Israel like it did Iraq and Afghanistan?
About a week ago, I read a news story about Vietnam veterans. I am one of those. It said Vietnam vets were 58 years old on average. Truth is, Vietnam vets are 64 on average. Take 1969 and make the average soldier in Vietnam around 24, maybe a bit older. Remember that thousands serving in Vietnam were in their 30s, even 50s. We are still having debates on Agent Orange, what disease are tied to dioxin poisoning and how we are going to deal with the backlog of claims from Vietnam vets, some filed in the late 1960s.
Some of these claims will be 50 years old.
How can a politican claim they support the military or veterans when people have been sick, thousands, for decades? Our last count showed that only 711,000 Vietnam veterans are still alive out of over 2.5 million. Normal actuarial tables would have 2.2 million alive.
Nearly 1,500,000 Vietnam veterans have died as a result of wartime service. Can anyone fault this figure? Please, try? If we can kill well over a million of our “heroes” then murdering a few thousand Americans with a dirty bomb or shooting down a few airliners and blaming it on Iran is nothing.
Expect it.
Public life. We scrape up the scum of America and make them our leaders, not just John McCain, the charming sociopath but maniacs like Newt Gingrich. I was reading, the other day, Senator Lindsay Graham, talk about the 9/11 coverup. It is obvious to me that he understands. He made that clear. What I find amazing is that he can talk about it so glibly and then go have lunch and move on.
This is a true sociopath.
We have little else in our government.

Hey, Gordon, agree with most, but, do you read Hebrew? I’d assume the “King Torah” is published in Hebrew, right? If you don’t read Hebrew, how can you be sure exactly what is in it?
Chris,
You have me there. I am using translations. However, as I have published those translations and about 15% of our readership is in Israel…and about 20% of our staff read Hebrew, I suspect I would have been caught on this by now.
Suggest you look into it. You will find that everything bad said about islam can also be said about the judean religion also. the problem is extremism
i, of course, am an atheist
i will not be murdering children over religion
….something that seems to be allowed quite clearly in the torah
g
My uncle died of Agent Orange in his thirties.
Gordon, what is with the Johnny Punish “no-planes-TV-Fakery” thing on your site?
I hope Gordon will answer your question because you are not the only person wondering.
Remember Alex Jones hung himself when he said Israel is blameless!
Mike
Confused…Are you referring to the DDG-56? If so, named for Senator McCain’s father and grandfather, not he.
Also, the number of Vietnam Veterans currently alive is a hotly debated topic. Among the veterans themselves, that is. In December, 2009, Vietnam Veterans of America posted on their website, “…less than 850,000 Vietnam Veterans estimated to be currently alive.” VFW, DAV,etal ran with this figure. It is but an estimate.
DOD states that 2,709,918 U.S. Military personal served in Vietnam. If so few Vietnam Veterans are alive today, this would represent a holocaust of sorts.
Just sayin’…
Wasn’t it a Woody Allen movie in which the psychopath, portrayed by John Carradine, said he was the one who had discovered a link between excessive masturbation and entering politics?
Dems, Repubs, PEE Party, etc, doesn’t matter. Damn near all of them are congential liars, thieves, con artists, murderers, loyal and true to Israel, not the USA.
The problem is that those that crave power the most are the least equipped to wield it judiciously. When the people in our government were part-time leaders and full-time normal farmers, doctors, lawyers etc. that was a government that could relate to the populace. What we have now is a mess created by banksters behind the scenes.
It is time to go back to a simpler more transparent government and get rid of the professional politicians and policy wonks. We need to move the city on the hill back down to the valley with the other people.
Great article, Gordon.
I appreciate your perspective, Gordon. As a signator and supporter of Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth, I want a new investigation of the destruction of the World Trade Towers…if we go down this rabbithole with a Grand Jury investigation, many of these criminals and traitors will be exposed. I’m thinking radio controlled planes, Israeli mossad demolition teams, high tech nano thermite
from a military supplier,Urban Moving Co. as mossad front,Silverstein, Cheney,PNAC,C.I.A., black opts, Pearle, Wolfowitz, Bush family, All the Israeli leaders, on and on… and of course the many involved from NIST and the 911 commission whom have covered for these operators, all will be held accountable.
Chris Bollyn has done an amazing job putting together this story.
You are absolutely correct Doug and well said. Too many questions have been answered satisfactorily though no laws have been enforced and surely many small details remain unanswered.
There is is more than enough questions answered to activate the “Justice” Department, law enforcement and a grand jury in any county in the USA if it were not for the apparent fact that the entire USA government has been hijacked.
Mike
Well, another intriguing, entertaining article. As a 911 investigator I respectively disagree with the notion that George Bush is responsible for the 911 operation and that our government contracted with the Mossad for the 911 attacks.
I have not seen any evidence connecting Bush to the 911 attacks. If Bush was involved with the 911 attacks I just don’t believe he would have made a fool out of himself by continuing to read a book about goats to children after the second tower was hit which indicated these crashes were not accidents and the United States was being attacked. The commander and chief should have been protecting America from another attack and not entertaining children. Bush is very concerned about his legacy.
Also, the Bush did 911 people claim the reason he stayed and continued to read a book to children after the second tower was hit instead of going to a safe place, was because he knew he wasn’t in any danger. Why would he attract suspicion to himself by continuing to read a book to school children and not getting out of a vulnerable setting which was the obvious action?
Eve if Bush wasn’t smart enough to avoid suspicion or making a fool out of himself on that day some of the traitors within our government surely would have come up with a better schedule and reaction for Bush on that day to avoid suspicion.
I believe it was a Mossad operation and Ehud Barak and Netanyahu should be investigated regarding the 911 attacks.
It wouldn’t surprise me if a Jewish Zionist in Bush’s administration gave orders to have Bush keep reading the book in order to set up Bush as a strong suspect for the alternatives theory crowd.
By the way, due to Jeff Gates ongoing articles posted at Veterans Today about John McCain, 15 and possibly more to come, there not flattering, I got a phone call from an angry John McCain. He just hired the services of the notable law firm Dewey, Cheatam and Howe. Oh well. This website is not boring.
This is cynical speculation but I love it: (I made it up!)
Poor George was told to get out of town and go play with some kiddies. He does and had a book called ‘My Pet Goat’ provided for him by arrangement.
Now, who arranged for that book to be the prop at that time and poor George, there he is possibly dumbfounded thinking ‘wtf’ have they done when he realises that his station in life is just; ‘a pet goat’.
Now whose pet goat, is the question?
I also have to strongly disagree with the assertion that the Bush administration “planned” 9/11.
First of all, before even beginning a meaningful discussion about 9/11 (or any other issue of great national importance), it has to be understood that Jewish supremacists have subverted our whole political process to the point that, generally speaking, only those willing to go along with the Jews’ plans can get elected to high office in the first place.
Thus, for the Bush administration (or any other administration for that matter) to have “planned” something big, like 9/11, implies a degree of autonomy that simply isn’t there. Put simply, U.S. politicians don’t generally make plans; rather, they take orders. The evidence in support of this kind of situation is all over the place, e.g.:
http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5gD-QcI_C-CrcqfSZBh6A5_e514Zw
Most likely, team Bush/Cheney was SELECTED from a group of mentally and morally defective, traitorous, sociopathic political contenders, as being the best prospects to get the Jewish PNAC agenda going.
What’s debatable, is how much Bush personally knew about the 9/11 operation. Did he think his administration was just going to let it happen, i.e., letting the evil Arabs carry out their plan, or did he know much more? What’s almost certain, IMO, is that Cheney was fully complicit in the crime as he had full knowledge of the plan and was instrumental in carrying it out.
Cheney may have been involved in carrying out the Mossad operation. His intriguing comments to a subordinate as the plane was headed for the Pentagon which were heard by Norm Mineta suggest he gave an order not to shoot down the plane.
The Jewish Zionists involved in the 911 attacks may have informed Cheney about the Pentagon attack but not the twin towers. He has done some evil things in the Middle East but I don’t think he would have gone along with killing all the civilians in the twin towers. He probably figured that the Pentagon attack would be enough to justify a war. There is the possibility that Mineta misunderstood or his time frame regarding Cheney’s comments is wrong.
Obviously, at the very least, the Bush administration was instrumental in the cover-up, and that alone implies a high degree of complicity.
From the destruction of evidence at the crime scene, to the refusal to release critical records and information in its possession, to the simple refusal to actually investigate anything, to the obvious manipulation of NIST, etc. There’s simply no other way to explain the government’s outrageous lies and stonewalling.
I forgot to address the issue of motive.
What would have been George Bush’s motive to plan, i.e., to “mastermind” 9/11?
It seems to me that U.S. politicians are just completely amoral, simple-minded political prostitutes, willing to do any evil act, in exchange for a taste of power. Do such empty vessels plan and carry out breathtaking ideological acts like 9/11, intended to change the world in a dramatic way? Only to mosey on back to the ranch after their term is up? I mean, George Bush and the other completely self-absorbed narcissists don’t seem to have the “vision” thing, do they?
If Bush had invoked martial law, dissolved Congress, appointed himself supreme ruler for the rest of his life, that would’ve been one thing, but instead he uses 9/11 as an excuse to attack Israel’s enemies?
It simply doesn’t add up that 9/11 was planned by the Bush administration. It was planned by the same “people” who’ve been plotting against us for a hundred years.
They (the money masters) told George Bush the US economy was fried and a good war might bring it back. He liked the idea that he would finish what his dad had started. That is how they got him to go along with the crime.
Chase Manahattan and the other major banks had a negative net worth in 1991 and they were given license to have a field day with high interest rates by the FED, to rip off their customers and rebuild some capital. Niine years later business was still bad so the manipulators whispered to the gullible Bush that war may help. He fell for the bait but was only a pawn in the creation of the war for Isreal!
Don De Grand Pre who has been kept secret by the mainstream and non mainstream media explained that Bushes reason for the war was the economy.
Mike
Well said. Bush Jr. (and Bush Sr?) never had an original idea.
It’s hard to believe Gordon’s sincerity in saying he buys the the BIG BAD BUSH story.
Maybe Alan Sabrosky can enlighten him if Jeff Gates can’t.
Mike
Representative Kaptur is a true patriot who has been fighting for the people for years. While it’s a shame she didn’t know about the memorial, she doesn’t need to be placed amongst the McCain ilk. Being ignorant is not the same thing as being a moron. That said, great read as usual.
Brent,
Marcy has a good voting record but lives in her own world. She is certainly not a John McCain. What was stated was accurate and no more.

Gordon,
Here’s a brief history
Mrs Kaptur calling the $700 billion bailout CRIMINAL.

Kaptur explaining how private banks have destroyed our liberties

Kaptur tells us “Wall street just robbed the biggest bank of them all – the PUBLIC TREASURY”

Apologies on hitting on such a small point, but the great ones are few and far between. Imho, history will be very kind to Mrs. Kaptur. (depending on who writes it, of course)
MOSSAD? YOU SITE KEEPS SAYING “YOU ALREADY SAID THAT” , WHIC IS TRUE BUT I HAVE NOT PUBLISHED THE COMMENT ON YOU SITE AS I EXPECTED TO——”MODERATION”???????????????????
I REFUSE TO CAPITALIZE JEW BUT I DON’T HATE JEWS?
WHY WON’Y YOU ALLOW MY COMMENTS?
REMINDS ME OF FOX NEWS SAYING “THIS STORY NO LONGER EXISTS”
Mr. Gordon Duff;
I have read your work before, and just read your essay “FALSE FLAG NUKE ATTACK ON U.S. JUSTIFIED….”KING’S TORAH”, That was a very informative and disturbing piece. In your musings you mentioned the debate in 9/11 truth circles over remote controlled planes. My question to you is; Have you seen SeptemberClues, and if so why do you think there were planes on 9/11?
Populist,
The issue has come down to not “why” but who. The arab thing was made up..dupes…clones…patsies….
Until we ELIMINATE the terrorists responsible, domestic and otherwise, responsible for 9/11 and the coverup, we will never really be safe.
ELIMINATE.
g
You are right Mr. Duff, the real question is “who” did it.
SeptemberClues implies there were NO PLANES on 9/11. Instead we have been shown fake video of the planes hitting the towers. That changes the “who”.
The media is regarded as too decadent and lazy to investigate 9/11, or complicit with the elites by refusing to air 9/11 truth documentaries. If SeptemberClues is true, then the media is much more than corrupt – They are a criminal enterprise.
They took part in the 9/11 crime by broadcasting fake videos of planes hitting the towers. It means the executives at Fox News, CNN, were involving at every level in planning the hoax. They are crimiinals just like Larry Silverstein and George Bush.
Watch SeptemberClues Mr. Duff, and Simonshack’s three part series on “9/11 Amateurs”.
This ‘No Planes’ BS is that; just BS for misinformation to embarrass those who rely on scientific observations and examination. Be satisfied that the twin towers and building No 7 have been proven by the evidence to have been ‘blown up’, hence a proper investigation is required and all the BS misinformation can be canvassed at that time and only the genuine facts determined and those reponsible dealt with. See ae911truth.org.
For an interesting ‘thesis’ on who and why: see: E.P. Heidner-911-commision-report-revised-december-2008 at the scribd site. Note all three reports; collateral, collateral 1 and the main 381 page report. Happy reading.
