Methinks the two are not entirely unrelated (in terms of propaganda strategy, of course). <_<

Sure looks like it, and that "photo" is very strange re caption & dates:
Matityahu Drobles, a Holocaust survivor and former member of Israel’s parliament, looks at anti-Zionist graffiti sprayed on the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial compound in Jerusalem, Monday, June 11, 2012. Vandals desecrated the memorial, its chairman said Monday, suggesting radical ultra-Orthodox Jews were to blame. Hebrew reads, “an alternative holocaust memorial to the selective Yad Vashem should be built.” (AP Photo/Sebastian Scheiner)
["Posted by Veterans Today on Jul 1 2012"]

Fascinating that the Exif data has the Create & Modify date of that shoddy shoop as July 2, 2012 <_<

Following the pattern...
Shock in Bnei Brak:
Vandals Spray Paint Memorial at the Home of Maran Rav Shach zt”
Sunday July 1, 2012 3:43 PM


Bnei Brak residents are outraged as, for the second time in two weeks, a memorial plaque dedicated in memory of Maran Rav Elazar Menachem Man Shach zt”l, rabbon shel kol bnei hagolah and rosh yeshiva of Ponovezh Yeshiva, has been defaced by vandals.
http://matzav.com/shocked-in-bnei-brak- ... -shach-ztl
This time, however, the vandals managed to perfect the graphic layout of the plaque - by widening the ugly, all-too-narrow margins of the inscription. Holy smoke! Those vandals perform graphic miracles! :lol:

Image

Good grief ... the lameness of it all... :rolleyes:

So now we have:
Monday June 11, 2012: spray-can vandalism at Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial
Monday June 25, 2012: spray-can vandalism at New Brunswick 9/11 memorial
Sunday July 1. 2012: spray-can vandalism at a Bnei Brak memorial (undeniably photoshopped)

A PISS-POOR PHOTOSHOP JOB:

So, even though these 3 vandalism episodes may have derailed this "GETTING THE WORD OUT!" thread a bit, I believe these posts can stay here - for educational purposes. Next time someone asks you "WHY would even photos of petty acts of vandalism be faked by the media?" - you can show them this example and reply: "As you see, it is a fact that they do."

For the historical record :

A long - very sharp blog article written four years ago - in August 2007 - only 2 months or so after the release of Sept Clues. :)

Cornelius Boss gets it (almost) right:


TERRORISM
http://liberalpro.blogspot.it/2007/08/t ... _6157.html

..... They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do
we.
~ President George W. Bush (2004)
"Terrorist", "terror", and "terrorism", they are the defining buzz words for
this present day, the Shibboleths of an obscene drive for empire by the
United States of America. Any clear-sightedness as to the meaning of any
or all of these three words has eroded away in America during this post "9--
11" era.
If we study history what we've seen repeated over and again is the pattern
shown by the Algerians, the Palestinians, and the Irish Catholics. When a
group of people is faced with an imperialist occupier with a vastly superior
and overpowering military, fighting back or blowback (the CIA term) by the
oppressed group usually has to come in the form of asymmetric guerrilla
tactics such as car bombings, suicide bombings, and remotely triggered
explosive devices - admittedly almost always against civilians. During our
entire lives there haven't been over 700 to maybe 1500 people killed by
genuine terrorism such as a planted bomb at a cafe going off during a lunch
hour rush or a school bus being bombed.
Bottom line, an individual isn't a terrorist until that individual has committed
an act of terrorism. "Terror" and "terrorism" are meaningless racist
xenophobic ethnocidal buzz words when they flow from the Zionist
controlled, corporate controlled media which is an un-elected de facto 4th
branch of government here in this country."Islamo-Fascists", "Islamic
Fundamentalist"," Radical Islamist" or "Jehadists" have become silly right
wing talking point xenophobic/racist code word designations implying non-
Caucasian inferiority or even sub-human criminality. Small wonder so many
craven sheeple brainwashed lemming-like Americans equate 26.4% of this
earth's population with "terrorist".
A commando raid on a military facility is not!!!!! Terrorism .Valley Forge was
not terrorism. Fort Sumter was not terrorism. The attack on the USS Cole
was not terrorism. True, there has been stagey blood-and-thunder
simulated/synthetic terror incidents such as Oklahoma City: 5-19-95,
NY/DC: 9-11-01, Madrid: 3-11-04,London: 7-7-05,and Amman Jordan: 11-9-
05 , all pulled off by western intelligence agencies and their tentacles ,andwith
the exception of Oklahoma City - blamed on Muslim patsies.
Way on the other hand, every 5 seconds somewhere someone starves to
death amidst the immense wealth and resources that surround them and
where there is plenty food, but are unable to afford food because of the
almost immeasurable horrors of free market capitalism .By rights, we need a
war on free market capitalism, not this nonsense xenophobic, racist so called
"War on Terror".
The events of Sept.11, 2001 were catalysts that spurred up this parallel
universe in which most Americans now live. "9--11" triggered the hysteria
needed for Americans to get themselves flimflammed into accepting endless
war against Muslims and Arabs, a "war" combating threats that don't exist!!
"9--11" was but a phony as a $3.00 bill on the cheap dramatization.
It was micro weaponry entomopter cluster/formations in NY that created
the cartoon outline images of airliners in the ¼ inch aluminum façade that
formed the skin of each WTC tower. The perps bastardized the WABC
feed, the only feed we saw early on mind you -with crude bush league CGI
blue screen uploads of airplanes using state of the art Webscam cameras in
combination with a georeferenced computer orthographic projection imagery
technique known as greyboxing which involves the use of computer
geographically-referenced information VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling
Language) but is far more sophisticated than anything you or I could get our
hands on. This software has been developed by TIGER data and systems
from the NRO and NGA, the spy satellite agencies that evacuated their
employees for a scheduled drill of "airplanes crashing into buildings" on
September 11, 2001. All this combined with fake news footage and scripted
eyewitnesses allowed the 9--11" perpetrators to broadcast a hoax that
"shocked and awed" the world. It was a cruise missile- or no telling what - in
DC. There were no Arabs. Nothing was hijacked, and nobody flew anything
into any buildings."9--11" was America's Operation Canned Goods
(Hitler)....Goggle that...Soon; everyone will have abandoned the absurd 19
Arab hijacker fable.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLROLbkfc5o
The earliest calls to emergency dispatchers (and they've been released due
to the freedom of information act) and the like resonate with the fact that
the first witnesses were saying that it was a helicopter accident at the
North Tower WTC. Early transcripts prove that only CNN Vice President
Sean Murtagh mentioned anything about a plane that he -against all laws of
optics and geometry -claims to have seen from his office three miles from
the WTC. Early on, TV announcers said that it was an explosion from inside
the South Tower, but were quickly overridden by TV fakery CGIs. You
should be very suspicious as to how the WABC camera crew came to be using
the new 03/30 military Webscam system cameras that morning. Multiple
rendering errors were brought about because National Reconnaissance
Office drill made use of greyboxing techniques which also explains the
missing buildings and unfeasible camera angles as well as the anachronisms
that are so bountiful in the fake video footage the perps presented us with
on 9-11-2001. Apply Occam's razor to the fact that no hole larger than
about 8x3 meters (far too small for a Boeing 767 for crying out loud) was
created in the side of the South Tower that BushMob/FedGov are telling us
was struck. A low contrast high brightness photo reveals that there were
only three small holes.
http://home.debitel.net/user/andreas.bu ... late37.htm
http://home.debitel.net/user/andreas.bu ... late38.htm
The so-called still photos were obviously screen shots .Look at the
magazines and newspapers that hit the streets following the "9-11" hoax.
It's uncanny. Whenever there's a plane in the shot we are told that someone
took the shot "for" the publication. While on the other hand where there is
no plane in the photo, we are told said photo was shot "by" the publication.
And it goes on and on and on and on and on. I could go on for four hours
expounding on how utterly wacky the official myth is. Every aspect of the
official story of "9--11" is pure balderdash physics defying malarkey not
worthy of any sane person's consideration.
Cognitive dissonance is a psychological phenomenon which refers to the
discomfort felt stemming from a conflict between what a person values or
seeks to protect, and new information or interpretation that may pose some
threat to those cherished biases. Most of us started our lives in a
parent/child master/subject paradigm. Later this master/subject hierarchy
is replaced by perhaps employer/employee and country/citizen which all too
often results in a desperate need to believe that no matter how corrupt and
mendacious our politicians are, there is a limit to how low they could stoop,
especially when it comes to their own people because of golden calf status
afforded America. So now we see the amazing anomaly displayed by the
sheeple who defend the absurd 9/11 19 Arab hijacker myth. This state of
mind is descried by behavioral psychologists as the assimilation
accommodation model of information processing. What this means is that
Anglo exceptionalism, racism, jingoism, intellectual laziness and xenophobia
as well as the aforementioned Golden Calf paradigm set off this mindless
discomfort zone shown by far too many Americans.
Anything, no matter how barefaced that threatens this collective jingoistic
blindness, is rejected. They simply can't assimilate the idea that the Golden
Calf has always killed its own people when to have done so abetted the
ambition of the rich and powerful. That tiny 8x3 hole in the South Tower
through which a Boeing 767 could not have possibly have passed, the still
alive suicide martyred Arabs, the undisturbed light poles and cable spools at
the Pentagon, not to mention the circumvention of the 1st law of motion, 2nd
law of thermodynamics, thermal conductivity, tinsel strength gradient
axioms ,the principle on conservation of energy , etc. are accepted as having
"taken the day off" on 9-11-2001. Flaws in the greyboxing technique
resulted in clumsy amateurish mistake filled 3-D backgrounds simply
brimming over with such things as missing buildings, impossible camera
angles, missing lamp poles, ridiculously tall trees, anachronisms and whathave-
you provided the mise en scene for the CGI cartoons of airplanes that
created the fake South Tower strike illusions are side stepped or not
accommodated. Crystal-clear evidence is cast aside by the "9--11" myth
idolizing sheeple of the world because of this cognitive dissonance nonaccommodation
paradigm.
The term "Al-Qaeda" had never been part of normal western vernacular
except between 1972 and 1982 as a nickname of sorts for Zbigniew
Brzezinski"s computer data base of available patsy Golden Crescent drug
trade financed guerrilla trainees that assisted the Pakistani ISI and the
utterly criminal CIA in covert destabilizations in Afghanistan, Bosnia, and
Caucasus Chechnya. "Al-Qaeda" is a word resurrected from the past by (as
some have suggested) Richard Clark, George Tenet, and Dick Cheney to be
used as part of the "9--11" myth/fable/lie. There is no evidence that any
organization named "Al-Qaeda" exists independent of Western intelligence
agencies.

For crying out loud, there hasn't been a front line modern American jet
hijacked since the 1970s, and for a reason. Anti hijack mechanisms have
been in place since then .Although it's remotely possible in theory to hijack
an Airbus A340, a DC9 or a Folker 100, maybe even a Boeing 737 or a Boeing
777. The Boeing 757, 767, 747, and 768 cannot!!!! be hijacked. Upon an
attempted hijacking the big jet would be taken over electronically from the
ground and directed to a military facility. The Pentagon has its own air
defense system .No aircraft can approach that infamous five sided building
of death in Northern Virginia without an approved electronic footprint.
Lacking a legitimate footprint, the airborne object will be zeroed in on and
shot down with heat seeking missiles absent of human involvement.
We all need to understand the mechanism. The MI-6, Mossad, CIA double
and triple agents create the patsy rings or cells. The patsies are kept in the
dark as to the nature of the project/objective at hand. The CIA, MI-6, MI-
5, et al agents will wiretap themselves in order to create false warnings and
implicate the patsies. These western intelligence agencies make good and
sure that the patsies fly around, get wiretapped, get video taped, e-mail one
another, use credit cards, these kinds of things, by which the scapegoats by
proxy create phony paper trails, money trails etc. All this in time, seals the
Patsies'" doom. Bogus torture induced confessions are matter-of-course. At
what point in time do Americans in mass get it through their thick skulls
that western intelligence agencies hardly ever actually gather any real
intelligence? Their role is to create false warnings to serve empire.
More often than not, the false flag operation is pulled off under the cover
of training exercises. Examples are: 9-11- 01 (National Reconnaissance
Office Drill, Amalgam Virgo, Vigilant Guardian, Northern Guardian, Vigilant
Warrior, Amalgam Warrior,Global Guardian, Crown Vigilance, Apollo
Guardian, Tripod II - 15 in all); London:7-7-05 ( Topoff-3).The MI-
6,Mossad, MI-5, FBI, CIA et al agents will blow up something and kill
innocent people. Patsies get the blame. That's what the patsies are for.
Most Americans believe the lies, or are gatekeepers or even pseudo-left
gatekeepers against the truths about the false flag ruses that are being
played on us becoming omphali of public perusal.
Certainly one of the more astonishing quotes by a major US political figure
in recent years is this one:
In 1992, George H.W. Bush told White House reporter Sarah McClendon: "If
the people were to ever find out the whole story about Iran Contra, we would be chased down the
streets and lynched."
.
~ George Herbert Walker Bush
What goes 500 fold when compared to Iran Contra is the absurd "9--11”
myth. If the American people knew the whole story about "9--11” there
would be 30,000,000 Americans gathered around the Mall in Washington, DC
at this very moment they, demanding trials in the mold of Nuremberg 1945
of the guilty among BushMob/FedGov and the U.S. mainstream media. There
will be no Republican party in 2008. Mark my word. The whole story about
"9--11” will be known by then. Our duty is to lay the ground work for
exposing the phoniness of that preposterous 19 Arab hijacker physics and
thermodynamics defying nonsense myth and avoid in any way acting as
gatekeepers protecting what is an obvious set of lies.
The "9--11” truth movement is just that- a movement. Critical mass will be
reached in this movement's development as soon as an ample number of
Americans reject notions such as a 757 passing through cable spools without
even as much as knocking them over, or that an 8:42 AM weekday transcontinental
flight would only have 44 passengers, or that buildings crumble
and fall in perfect controlled like implosions five hours after the fact
because of a fire in a couple of areas (building#7),or flight attendant Betty
Org calling a Raleigh ,N.C. American airlines reservations agency to report a
hijacking instead of pressing the 4 digit “we're being hijacked “ code
alerting air traffic control and NORAD .It should be a forgone conclusion
that the Org call was part of the National Reconnaissance Office Drill. It's
curtains for the absurd "9--11” myth. Soon, only a few flat earth wackos will
still support the official version.
If Iraq had had nuclear weapons we wouldn't have attacked them .Six
hundred fifty five thousand Iraqis now dead would still be alive. Myriads
would not be displaced. Many of our young men that are now dead or
wounded wouldn't be. We wouldn't be spending $2,000,000,000 a week
killing innocent women and children and poisoning the soil, surface water, and
water tables of Mesopotamia with depleted uranium ceramics and oxides. I
wish to God Iran already had a nuclear arsenal. The U.S. only respects
nations that do. And what's more, the U.S. imperialist, militarist, hegemonic
beast and its ally Japan with an endless military buildup, military exercises,
weapons tests in the Far East, accompanied by constant threats and
inhumane economic sanctions have forced North Korea to get more serious
about its own fledgling nuclear weapons capabilities. I don't see how anyone
can criticize the North Korean leadership for fostering their nation's
nuclear capabilities. Nations are literally held hostage on this earth with this
out of control U.S. militarist imperialist jingoistically crazed belligerent
dystopian rogue superpower beast hypnotized by its own Manichean world
vision and delusions of superiority and persisting in all this bereft of the
slightest bent toward complying with any existing standards of behavior as
far as being part of any global community .Political scientists apply here the
term "American Exceptionalism”. Loose translation-the US thinks it has a
license to kill and steal with impunity.
We are in Iraq for the same reason that we were in Hawaii, Cuba, the
Philippines, Iran (1953), Chile, Guatemala, Panama (which we stole from
Columbia), Nicaragua, Ecuador, et al.We are there to pirate and pillage the
resources of Iraq on behalf of global capitalists, criminal banking oligarchs,
and Trilateralism following a campaign of demonizing lies against Iraq's head
of State- nothing new. We've also there to tap into the kind of money
laundering opportunities that only a war can present. A good $28 billion plus
is missing so far. The US has done these kinds of things unchallenged since
1893.
Abu Musab al Zarqawi is fiction.”Zarqawi” is a Pentagon psyop code name and
nothing more. He never lived. He never died.
The country is governed for the richest, for the corporations, the bankers, and the land
speculators, and for the exploiters of labor.
~ Helen Keller, 1911
She couldn't see. She couldn't hear. But she knew what kind of country she
was living in.

That was a fair analysis with a couple of deficiencies, the likes of which the members of this forum are well aware. Since the genie was let out of the bottle, I have to weigh in with my two cents. As far as definitions go, the term "free market" may well be lost to the ages. Any parties trading for mutual benefit without the force of violence to induce a win/lose is the free market. (And no, that doesn't include trading people. duh.) I don't see anything in the current bureaucratically regulated, leviathan, corporate, klepto-cratic, fascist economic landscape that remotely resembles this.

As far as false flags go, we have David Rockefeller admitting his appreciation of media complicity in helping the Trilateral Commission implement policy (1991). Policies which date back to the orchestration of WWI and the enforced servitude (draft) that led to the deaths of millions in a charade wherein the same banks financed the war efforts of both sides of that conflict. And WWII, and likely every conflict since. In order to collect the interest accrued in the financing of these theaters of entertainment for the psychopathic elite, our fearless leaders demand their pounds of flesh, will cage us if we don't pay and kill us should we resist being caged. Why would anyone be the least bit surprised by some fake videos?

Please forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this or if I have overlooked some part of the forum.

I have a simple question for the creator of "September Clues" and associated works.

As the video analysis/documentary represented by Simon Shack in the videos titled "September Clues", "911 Amateur", "Foxed Out" and so on are available for free for anyone with an internet connection and access to a medium such as youtube, and are, as such, provided free of charge - as a public service...

Would the creator of these works be opposed to submitting these works - in full - unedited from their original/final/official versions - as a DVD provided to local video rental retailers to be rented out for *their* profit as a means of furthering dissemination to a broader audience who may not have heard of such works?

A neat idea even though off the top of my head I certainly can think of a number of problems, such as: who is going to print, package and ship the DVDs? And: Is really DVD rental a better distribution system than the internet? And: aren't most DVD rentals franchise brands owned by big media?
I look forward to read what Simon will think of it. In the meantime, Seth if you want to be part of this forum please introduce yourself here: http://cluesforum.info/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=838

Dear Seth,

Nonhocapito rightly listed three good questions:
- who is going to print, package and ship the DVDs?
- And: Is really DVD rental a better distribution system than the internet?
- And: aren't most DVD rentals franchise brands owned by big media?

However, I have certainly been thinking about this in recent times. Isn't the time ripe now for me to issue and market a DVD of the September Clues research? Perhaps it is. So if you are able to help out with this in a professional/sincere/and no-nonsense manner, please let me know. I hope that you may appreciate the following, simple fact: for me to trust any person to help marketing my work on a commercial level, I first have to establish a very, very solid relationship with that person. Sadly, this world is a jungle infested by crooks and profiteers.

To be sure, the primary reason why I haven't done so to this day originates all the way back to 2007, as I carefully and deliberately chose to release SC (version 1.0) on the tiny Livevideo.com video portal - and not on Youtube. I certainly didn't wish to appear as any sort of attention-seeker, and Youtube already oozed a repulsive smell of what I'd call a "controlled people's mainstream media". Furthermore, a strong concern of mine was to avoid being lumped in with the post-9/11 money-making bandwagon, such as the various Michael Moores, Alex Joneses and Loosechanges - and the countless other clowns who pretended to unveil the truth of 9/11 - making fat sums of money out of it.

Having said this, dear Seth, I am open to talking with persons who offer to distribute a DVD containing all of my videos to video retailers - providing that such persons satisfy my very sringent criterias of honesty and sincerity. I live in a land of monkey-business (Italy) and I'm not going to let myself be 'monkey-businessed'.

G'day Simon. I guess I wasn't thinking in such large terms. I live in a relatively small town with a few video shops - and the one that I frequent does not have your documentaries/analysis in their documentary section. I've long thought that this was very unfortunate, as other 911 documentaries can be found there, but not September Clues and associated works. I am not a big distributor, nor have the $$ to finance such - I'm just a person who would like to help in a small way.

If this site were to provide some sort of approved format for a DVD, including cover jacket - people like me could download the material, make a DVD(or DVDs as they are willing), and give it to video shop rental retailers - and/or to friends/family/strangers - as much as they are willing to do so. It's a small effort for one person - but amounts to a much larger effort with many persons around the world doing that.

I do not even know if the retailer(s) would accept the gift or stock in on their shelves or be concerned about legal issues. It was just an idea - I think a good one - where individuals could do something to help out.

As for the internet being a better dissemination tool - it certainly is - but there are still plenty of people in the world that aren't internet savvy, are unfairly biased against it, and would rather rent a video for a few bucks than spend time downloading something to watch. This is especially true of some older generation folks and others who do not have the internet and/or a high speed connection.

Think on it. :)

Thanks Simon. I already have most of your stuff saved (some of it the older version of SC) - but I'm thinking now that the license they are under already legally prohibits them from being used commercially or for profit (as would be the case of a video store retailer renting them out for profit) - even if that would mean a broader dissemination.

The idea of making DVD's to give to Video shops has been bouncing around in my head for some time, but I didn't want them (or me) to get into any trouble over it, and I wasn't sure how you would feel about it.

Simon, might this article, and the tools discussed therein, be helpful getting September Clues translated into many more languages?
Lost in Translation, Found in Subtitles

With the rise of crowd-sourced subtitling platforms such as Amara, which uses volunteers to collaborate on translations of online videos into numerous languages, such hyper-specific captioning no longer sounds like a joke. Amara volunteers now mainly provide subtitles for videos of political speeches and events, but Netflix is in the early stages of testing Amara's services, in an experiment that is using a group of volunteers to add English captions to some classic television episodes.

While drawing on the translation skills of volunteers around the world offers the potential for the limitlessly specific subtitling of commercial films
...
And much as our increasingly Web-based culture has blurred the line between amateur and professional journalism, often eroding news-gathering standards in the process, an expansion of crowd-sourced translation risks obscuring the essential—but already under-appreciated—distinction between subtitling a movie and translating its words.
...
As David Bannon, a Korean-to-English subtitler for MBC America, noted, direct translations are often "nonsensical or cumbersome. Even the simplest line requires finesse and understanding of the original language and of English."
...
A quality translation demands close attention to the idiomatic fit and feel of filmic language. As Mr. Bannon noted, a "simple inquiry about the time could be translated as: 'What time is it?', 'Do you know the time?', 'Got the time?'" Different characters speak differently.
