Coincidence or a sign?

A few weeks back, our most famous JBS electoral college delegate in Rocky Mount, NC handed me a copy of a pamphlet which reviews some of the "just don't fit" pieces of the events on 9/11/2001.  For example, the facts that:

1) NORAD Command could scramble an escort of four F-16s to track golfer Payne Stewart's private jet within 22 minutes of losing contact with air traffic controllers, but that with over 40 minutes of knowing flight 77 was hijacked and almost an hour after flight 11 had hit the North Tower of the WTC, no such defensive action was taken for flight 77 which was able to penetrate all defenses and hit THE command and control center of the United States military.

2) In what might be the most heavily surveillanced few city blocks on the planet, we have not seen a single video cam shot of flight 77 making its approach on the Pentagon --- not even one grainy Zapruder grade image from a poor angle.

After speed reading through most of the pamphlet, I took a break on page 52 after reading this line:

"The interests behind the Bush Administration, such as the CFR, the Trilateral Commission - founded by Brzezinski for David Rockefeller - and the Bilderberg Group have prepared for and are now moving to implement open world dictatorship within the next five years."

--- Dr. Johannes Koeppl, former official of the German Ministry for Defense and adviser to NATO.

As a member of the John Birch Society, that quote, if true, is not necessarily shocking.  However, as Mr. Brzezinski is not a household name you would think about on a daily basis, the thing that struck me as odd was that earlier in the day I had made a post on a local blog about how "Outsider" Dr. Dean is this era's Jimmy Carter, who went about "cleaning house" in Washington by bringing in top staff like Mr. Zbig.  How many times is even a Birch member going to think about Mr. Brzezinski in one day, right?

Now, leaving behind a career as a director of a small manufacturing company to take up a position as a field coordinator for The John Birch Society could afford one the opportunity to second-guess himself as to the merits of such decisive step.  Here is what I received yesterday though in answer to occasional prayers along the line that I hope I made the right decision...

Immediately after taking a break from reading that quote from Dr. Koeppl in the pamphlet, I strolled into the other room and decided to check my e-mail. Minutes earlier (while I was reading the pamphlet)  I had  received in my in-box an e-mail from a non-Birch member in Columbia, SC who sends out news alerts under the address, "Columbia Christians for Life."

Here is the short text of the message I opened up:

"SOME THINGS ARE WORTH REPEATING . . .

'The interests behind the Bush Administration, such as the CFR, the Trilateral Commission - founded by Brzezinski for David Rockefeller - and the Bilderberg Group have prepared for and are now moving to implement open world dictatorship within the next five years.'

--- Dr. Johannes Koeppl, former official of the German Ministry for Defense and adviser to NATO."

Whoa! Eh?  This reminds me of the punch line to the joke about the flood victim who God answer's his complaint with, "Hey, I sent you a police escort, a boat and a helicopter. What more did you want?" 

An important technicality though: Since neither the author of the pamphlet nor the e-mail claimed that this information was from a direct conversation with Dr. Koeppl, a citation on the date and public source of Dr. Koeple's quote is a pre-requisite to giving it any serious consideration...But, Imagine my surprise that upon a web engine search the #6 reference for this quote takes you to the 5th post down for Sept 11th, 2003 on blog.deanforamerica.com!  Can you think of a more reliable information source?  If it's on Howard's blog It must be true...

Omnipotent Officials

The last line of this Saddam capture breaking news report got by the AP copy editors:

"U.S. officials scored another major victory earlier this year when they killed Saddam's two sons during a raid."

Somehow I just can't picture Condoleezza Rice and Dick Cheney in camo body armor popping off M-16 bursts during a 4-hour gun battle.

Yea!  Maybe that should be Yawn... though. Couldn't they have released this news at a more reasonable hour?  The news feed from military command HQ on this must still be limited as our local Fox 8 News is not even running a sub text line across their report on the flu vaccine shortage --- angle of story: how could a government that stockpiles surplus* corn and soybeans not stockpile something important like flu vaccine?

Church closings from last night's ice storm are still hogging all the space across the lower caption line of the local news report.  I think most everyone is still asleep on this.

This post ends two weeks of blog silence.  My test of using a blog as a defense against being secretly designated as a terrorist and wisked away in the middle of the night without a trace is now terminated.  As none of the limited traffic across this blog thought to call the office of Homeland Security questioning my disappearance, I am now working on plan B.
