Here is Counterpunch's teaser at the top of their web site:

WHAT DID ISRAEL KNOW IN ADVANCE OF THE SEPTEMBER 11 ATTACKS?

* Those Celebrating "Movers" and Art Student Spies
* Who were the Israelis living next to Mohammed Atta?
* What was in that Moving Van on the New Jersey shore?
* Was the Mossad Tracking the 9/11 Hijackers in the US?
* How did two hijackers end up on the Watch List weeks before 9/11?

And the 3rd comment here connects-the-dots on the RAND Corp's experimenting on the SF Bay Area activist scene in the late 1990's, to subvert grassroots peace, environmental,and social justice efforts:

Thank Willie Brown's big mouth for tipping off Bay Area activists to the fact that the elite were warned in advance of 9/11:

And a HUGE hat tip to Mike Ruppert at http://fromthewilderness.com/ and the late Gary Webb. We love you both for your tireless devotion to the truth.

The San Francisco Bay Area has some of the finest creative and dedicated people in the world when it comes to exposing injustice, protecting the environment, and championing human rights.

That the U.S. government has known for years about oil depletion and impending petrocollapse is no secret. Yet no real solutions have been proposed to transform communities to support themselves once the era of cheap energy and consumption is over. Now, the human race stands on the brink of extinction or survival, as very little time remains to transform our communities, and make the transition from oil-dependence to sustainable, local solutions.

Many have known for years about the RAND Corp.'s studies on Critical Mass, and others may suspect that Bay Area activists were literally experimented on by the U.S. military in conjunction with the RAND Corp. and other "think tanks" that work to empower those who simply desire more and more money. The question that has not been asked and explored is, exactly what did RAND and the Pentagon make use of in their experiments on activist culture? There was far more going on in the late 1990s than experiments on Critical Mass: recall the suppression of KPFA, the Urban Warrior military exercises, and others. The US military was present at the Seattle WTO protests, and twisted these grassroots ideas for use against protestors to divide-and conquer on behalf of the elite's agenda of global control.

Following are three simple examples:

-Critical Mass cyclists made use of cell phones to communicate with one another starting in late 1997. This was highly effective in avoiding deliberate police traps designed to ensnare unsuspecting cyclists. Today, nearly all cell phones have built-in batteries that cannot be removed, and the NSA in conjunction with Motorola and other cell phone manufacturers have the ability to turn on your cell phone remotely, and listen in on private conversations. Billions of dollars have been wasted by the NSA and the Department of Defense, developing the ability to triangulate cell phone signals, and locate individuals geographical coordinates within a few meters. This abuse of privacy is now used in the Middle East and elsewhere, to execute people defending their homelands with weapons such as hellfire missiles, which can home-in on certain individuals the US government wishes to eliminate. Murder by remote control is a coward's war, and cowards hide behind lies and deception, like the leaders in Washington DC.

-Studies have been conducted on disrupting grassroots organizing efforts, by making use of the old trick of divide-and-conquer. It only takes one or two individuals among a group of people committed to a worthy cause to interject divisiveness with accusations of racism, sexism, homophobia, and other issues. The idea of political correctness is now used to subvert organizing efforts whenever possible, while the powers-that-be remain united along their common desire: greed. Worthy causes need to be supported, and not scuttled due to lack of perfect representation across ethnic, gender, religious, sexual orientation, and other lines. Smart, effective activists are aware of this, but many newcomers are quickly turned off by the confrontation, divisive tone that is often interjected at meetings, whether by infiltrators, or simply by people who feel full equality and equal representation is needed to make a group effort worthwhile.

-Media self-censorship and allegiance to advertising dollar$ corrupts absolutely. Gary Webb, who risked his life and career to break the story in the San Jose Mercury News on CIA drug running into US inner cities, fell victim to such corruption. So has Michael Ruppert, who continued his fine reporting on 9/11 and the dark side of U.S. The death of Anna Nicole, and Saint Clinton's private affairs really have no bearing on quality-of-life issues to most working peoples. What these news reports do functions as is a diversion from meaningful issues that do impact everyone's quality of life. Demand better from your media, or shun their corporate sponsors.

Put on your thinking caps, and please add your own insights on exactly what tactics and creativity was exploited to divide and conquer people seeking peace, harmony, and justice.

The photo of Iwo Jima is one of the most recognized pieces of American history and imagery. The RAND Corp. studied and twisted grassroots organizing tactics, as explained here and here:

Now connect these dots to see how BushCo manipulated imagery to launch its wars in the Middle East:

As soon as someone brings up the topic of Israel's role on 9/11, somebody changes the subject. Why is it that certain people really, really, really don't want any of us to think too long or too hard about Israel's role on 9/11? Do they know something we don't?

This is the finest compilation of video, physical evidence, and applied physics and engineering to date on the controlled demolition of the WTC:

The smoking gun is the bright liquid metal running down between floors about halfway through the video. See for yourself.
