Suppressing the Truth
There are some scandals that refuse to die, either because they are never fully investigated or because those responsible for them never paid the price they should have. –Gideon Levy
by Paul J. Balles
Issues that should concern everyone, but especially in America, have been subverted, degraded, perverted, retracted, eradicated, expunged, obscured, obliterated, squashed or (simply) zapped!
Cover-ups have kept these issues under wraps for all but those whose concern for the truth provokes them to do serious research, primarily on the internet.
The 1967 Israeli Attack on the USS Liberty
The mainline media rarely touch these topics; and when they are discussed in the alternative media, the discussions are limited to a few who have been following the issues closely.
Obscured issues that deserve more than a passing interest include:
- The USS Liberty cover-up
- Israel’s nuclear programme
- 9/11 truth seekers discoveries
- Big business corruption
- Bush administration crimes
- Plight of the Palestinians
- Murder by un-manned drones
Un-manned drones provide the one issue receiving major media coverage, because Anwar Awlaki, assassinated in Yemen, was an American citizen. A New York Times News Alert reported:
“Earlier this year, the American military renewed its campaign of airstrikes in Yemen, using drone aircraft and fighter jets to attack Qaeda militants. One of the attacks was aimed at Mr. Awlaki, one of the most prominent members of the Qaeda affiliate group.”
According to the Guardian, “Awlaki became the first American citizen to be placed on the CIA’s list of individuals around the world who the agency aims to kill or capture. His killing was approved by Barack Obama in April 2010. The news provoked strong condemnation from civil rights groups.”
Offering justification for Awlaki’s murder, Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano claimed that Awlaki had taken on an operational role in attack planning.
Confirming Awlaki’s death, Obama cited a link to the failed Christmas 2009 bombing of an airliner heading for Detroit and a bid to post bombs to synagogues in Chicago on cargo planes last year.
It had become clear that the use of drones in assassinations could no longer be kept under wraps.
The same strike that assassinated Awlaki killed Samir Khan, an American editor of a glossy magazine used as a propaganda and recruitment tool by al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
Writing in Truthout, Ramzy Baroud reported on the censored death of a Gaza boy killed in a drone attack by Israelis. The father told Baroud:
“Both of Ibrahim’s arms were cut off. He had a hole in his lung. Parts of his legs were missing. His kidney was in a bad condition…we need people to stand with us…”
Baroud reported that “Ibrahim Zaza was merely a 12-year-old boy. He and his cousin Mohammed, 14, were hit by an Israeli missile in Gaza, fired from an un-manned drone as they played in front of their house.”
According to Baroud, “Palestinians were punished for an attack at Israelis that reportedly accrued near the Israeli border with Egypt. There is no evidence linking Gaza to the attack, and Egyptian authorities are now disputing the Israeli account altogether.”
Both the U.S. and Israel have apparently adopted a war machine of unmanned drones to eliminate any enemy–real or perceived.
With drones, the commanders fly their attack weapons into enemy territory with no risk to a flyer’s life. Nothing more than a remotely guided machine can be lost.
The deaths and destruction at the end of missions need not be seen by the attacker. The controller of the destructive drone need not lose sleep or suffer pangs of guilt remembering his unseen victims.
The perfect exterminator is on display.

Yes, these subjects should be investigated but it won’t happen.
From another article:
The Homeland Security/FBI bulletin, obtained by Fox News, specifically says Awlaki, an influential new-generation figure in Al Qeada, showed the suspected Christmas Day bomber how to detonate the bomb he is accused of hiding in his underwear. That bomb failed to blow up, and the plane landed safely in Detroit. The suspect, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, now is standing trial.
Brian: This is hilarious, the evidence shows Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian bomber, was a Mossad patsy. The Mossad decided blowing up the plane wasn’t necessary, they just wanted to scare Americans and show them even black Muslims are a threat.
Since government officials claim Awlaki taught Abdulmutallab how to detonate the bomb either they’re lying or it shows Awlaki is a Mossad/FBI/CIA stooge. Highly likely Awlaki was or still is a Mossad/FBI/CIA stooge.
Maybe I’ve missed the articles but I’m surprised the VT staff hasn’t written articles about the possibility of Awlaki being a Mossad/FBI/CIA stooge. However, it has been mentioned by readers in the comments sections.
You wrote: “Yes, these subjects should be investigated but it won’t happen.”
You’re right, Brian, unless those of us who believe they should be investigated keep harping on those issues.
Strangely enough, the assassination question associated with the use of drones, forced that issue out from undercover.
Fortunately, the legality, the morality and the danger of blowback associated with assassinations have reached the public arena; and hopefully all three will be debated openly.
The plight of the Palestinians has received more than usual attention since the P.A. decided to petition the UN for a more complete recognition of their statehood.
Forced into a corner by the prospect of becoming a one-state apartheid regime, Netanyahu has now agreed to negotiate all issues related to a two-state solution.
Big business corruption has been garnering the best kind of attention to its self-serving oligarchy by the demonstrations now taking place in major cities internationally.
With steadfast attention to their goal and continued marching toward public action that the government has reneged upon, the jobless may have found truly rewarding employment.
It’s doubtful that the remaining four will get enough public attention to force action or investigations.
The USS Liberty cover-up gets occasional attention from veterans groups who usually have more urgent needs and broader concerns demanding their time and energy.
Israel’s nuclear weapons program will continue under wraps with the US and EU giving no more than occasional lip service to the IAEA, whose findings they ignore.
Too many of the US government’s present employees were also part of the Bush administration for anyone to take appropriate action prosecuting those guilty of war crmes from the top down.
Just finished watching the documentary made by CBS of JFK’s speeches, boy howdy, in light of the Tag Team Mass Murder event choreographed by the Zionazi US GOV and the Zionazi Media at Waco it is easy to spot the Producers and Directors involved in these Mass Mind Control Operations, the Zionazified American Braindeadgoy Talmudvision watching MASSES being the gullible Goy, who believe the Lies simply because they can no longer engage in critical thinking. – http://www.redicecreations.com/radio/2011/10/RIR-111006.php – There is a Chapter in William Bramleys’ The Gods of Eden on the MO of producing PATSIES, see Also the word Assassins in the Encyclopedia of Freemasonry – Mackey 1928 or prior.
