Puppet Masters
Keep fighting everyone. We are winning.
Domenico Quirico and Pierre Piccinin de Prata were kidnapped while working in the war torn country in April.
The pair were released on Sunday night and have now said that they heard a conversation between their captors in English on Skype in which they allegedly revealed that rebels launched the attack to prompt Western forces to intervene.
According to the Center for Diseases Control's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), 1,140 people have been officially classed as suffering from a WTC-related cancer and that number is expected to grow.
'There are more cases out there, because we just know of the people in our government-funded medical programs, not those who have been treated by their private doctors,' said Dr. Jim Melius, chairman of the WTC Responder Medical Program, to the New York Daily News.

Toxic Debris: Firefighters make their way over the ruins through clouds of smoke as work continues at ground zero 11 October, 2001 in New York, one month after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center
The NIOSH figures are as recent as August and a Mount Sinai Medical Center study also found a 15 percent higher cancer rate among 9/11 responders than those who were not exposed to the toxic cloud that bellowed out from Ground Zero.
'Because of the carcinogens in the air at ground zero, people who were exposed are vulnerable. And with cancer, there is a delay,' said Dr. Melius to the New York Daily News.
Recent events surrounding Syria have prompted me to speak directly to the American people and their political leaders. It is important to do so at a time of insufficient communication between our societies.
Relations between us have passed through different stages. We stood against each other during the cold war. But we were also allies once, and defeated the Nazis together. The universal international organization - the United Nations - was then established to prevent such devastation from ever happening again.
The United Nations' founders understood that decisions affecting war and peace should happen only by consensus, and with America's consent the veto by Security Council permanent members was enshrined in the United Nations Charter. The profound wisdom of this has underpinned the stability of international relations for decades.
The best book on the people around (and perhaps behind) 9/11: Another 19 by Kevin Ryan.
The "other 19" is group of insiders who have been running together for decades, some of them going as far back as the Nixon administration.
They're specialists in things like "continuity of government", coups, advanced demolition techniques, arms smuggling, covert military operations, news media manipulation, money laundering, covert dealings with Middle Eastern terrorists, security systems for the World Trade Center, and air defense systems.
They're proven killers, liars, and thieves who have demonstrated they'll do just about anything to get what they want.
As a group, these 19 actually ran US air defense system AND security for the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. They also managed the clean up and the (laughable) investigation, set post-attack military plans, and explained it all - including the "need" to invade Iraq to the press.
They were involved in things like the Phoenix Program, drug running in Vietnam, Iran Contra, the First Gulf War...
All in all a very experienced group - with close ties to the Bush family and its cronies - that was more than capable of pulling 9/11 off. See more here.
Boston - The Massachusetts Port Authority conducted a drill Wednesday morning involving smoke and fire on the runway.
The drill involved what appeared to be a plane on fire. Boston Logan Airport tweeted the smoke and fire was part of a drill.
Heavy black smoke could be seen drifting over the airfield.
The tweet sparked several other tweets asking why authorities would choose September 11 to conduct a drill involving a plane on fire.
Dozens of people also took to Boston Logan Airport's Facebook page to complain about the poor timing.
The cost paid by American troops and taxpayers is extreme. Secretary of Veteran Affairs Erik Shinseki reported in November 2009 that "more veterans have committed suicide since 2001 than we have lost on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan.
" Many thousands of our troops have suffered amputations and traumatic brain injuries. At the Marine Corps War College Jim Lacey calculated that the annual cost of the Afghan war was $1.5 billion for each al-Qaeda member in Afghanistan. Many US and coalition troops paid with their lives for every one al-Qaeda member killed. On no basis has the war ever made sense.
Washington's wars have destroyed the favorable image of the United States created over the decades of the cold war. No longer the hope of mankind, the US today is viewed as a threat whose government cannot be trusted.
The wars that have left America's reputation in tatters are the consequence of 9/11. The neoconservatives who advocate America's hegemony over the world called for "a new Pearl Harbor" that would allow them to launch wars of conquest. Their plan for conquering the Middle East as their starting point was set out in the neoconservative "Project for the New American Century." It was stated clearly by Commentary editor Norman Podhoretz and also by many neoconservatives.
A year before the area around Maralinga was euphemistically 'rehabilitated' under the UK Ministry of Defence's Operation Brumby (1967), chemical tests using Agent Orange were supposedly being conducted on rainforest at Gregory Falls, near the North Queensland town of Innisfail. The area in question was a local water catchment area. Researcher Jean Williams, who has made a name for herself in matters of veterans' affairs, stumbled across documents while ferreting around in the Australian War Memorial's archives. Her discovery has precipitated outraged queries from the residents in the area.
