Photo Synthesis


David Dees spent many years promoting consumer products, and then promoting Hollywood movies. Eventually, his political awakening came when he realised the the 9/11 events had been an inside job, organised to trigger a new cold war, enrich the military-industrial complex and hand totalitarian powers to the booming world of spooks. When he collided with the MSM clamp-down on 9/11 scepticism, he adapted his skills to creating satirical political art that could populate the internet universe, and subvert the imagery presented by the corporate whores. There's a load more of his pictures here , or there's a slide-show on YouTube. There are about two million Americans who list themselves as artists. I wish more of them would turn their hand to this kind of art and make it current in schools and on campuses.
The picture above illustrates the juggernaut effect of NAFTA, spreading big-box outlets, freeway consumer hangers and exurban automobile mazes across the old woods, farms and market towns of the earlier U.S. and Canadian landscape. Where I live, we have a new Wal-Mart, western Canada's biggest, where every shopper goes in a carbon-guzzling automobile. This is exactly the opposite of the kind of integrated, energy-saving, locally-controlled communities we need, and Mr. Dees's picture says it all at a glance.

Phantoms in the sky



Before the Pentagon exploded on September 11th, 2001, people around the panicking White House looked up and photographed or videoed a white plane that was circling about 500 feet overhead in the most interdicted airspace on earth. All non-military aircraft over the USA had been ordered to land. This aircraft was identifiable as one of the Pentagon's fleet of four converted jumbo jets known as "doomsday planes" because they are equipped to run the U.S. security-state in the event of a national emergency or nuclear war. This shot, included in a commercially available DVD called The Flight That Fought Back, shows all the key elements: the white colour (for protection from heat) the blue stripe on the side, the flag on the tail-plane and the distinctive dome behind the cockpit. There can be no mistake, this aircraft is an E-4B doomsday plane. View full shot here.

Even though so many people saw the aircraft (and there is even a BBC video clip that records someone shouting "it's the doomsday plane!"), the Bush Pentagon and the Bush FAA and the Bush Secret Service all flatly denied any knowledge of its existence that day, circling low over the White House in full view of thousands of U.S. citizens.

Governments have a free hand in the sky, because humans cannot fly and are powerless to know what is occurring, except when bombs or bullets rain down and smash and pollute their habitat. And so this E-4B, normally equipped with from 50-80 technicians and a shed-load of communications gear, plus top Pentagon officials, flew low over the White House before the Pentagon exploded, but as far as officialdom is concerned, it never existed.

The news channel CNN also videoed the doomsday plane, and its news bulletins briefly showed it circling at the time, then suppressed the video for six years, before internet revelations caused CNN to broadcast a four-minute news item confirming that the jumbo actually had been seen, even though the newsclip noted that officials denied it. None of the other news channels took any notice, and the news story died for a second time.

Now an author called Mark Gaffney has produced a book , The 9/11 Mystery Plane and the Vanishing of America, in which you can read about this cover-up that proves official deception around the 9/11 events. Use Amazon to send a copy of it to your legislative representative and demand they read it and call for a new public inquiry.
