The Bad News - UK oriented truther leaflet - updated

[drywontonmee]

UPDATED TO INCLUDE FABLED ENEMIES LINK

Had this attached leaflet passed on to me. I think it's a great overview for the British perspective. I've been sprinkling copies about - please do the same if you're in the UK or know any Brits. It's in PDF format, B&W text only for cheap/clear copying.

Also downloadable from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YPMGEZDU

Cheers.

here's the text

[drywontonmee]

Yes, but all out of order.

[spiv]

I am very impressed with your leaflet Dry, well done. I've just printed it out and posted it to a former client with a 911 DVD, for her awakening.

[drywontonmee]

Thanks a lot, Spiv. I've just updated it (and original post and attachment) to include fabled enemies link. latest version also downloadable here -

cheers.

[Chris Walsh]

This is well written stuff, footnoted and contains crucial information which might even begin to wake up even the most closed minded of Brits.

I have just printed 50 off - double sided, folded (they look really good) and my plan is to put as many as I can into Metro newspapers in work and on the buses. I'm not sure posting them through letterboxes will have much effect, since people already get enough junk mail and might treat this as such - at their own loss.

I might also put some on colleagues' desks when working late shifts. I work in a massive building (for one of our beloved Corporate news channels) and could get people talking about the hard hitting issues quickly and effectively with this approach.

How else are people distributing these leaflets?

Perhaps Dry might consider serialising these truth bombs by writing a new one every three months to include updates and current affairs. For example, this one contains info on the Georgia sneak attack, so if the Iran war kicks off next month, maybe the next one should cover that. Of course, the 9/11 info is crucial and should remain intact, but perhaps including other hardcore lies next time, such as the drills and the impossibility of the patsies flying the planes.

Keep up the good work!

[TonyGosling]

Brilliant! With only one gripe - the title is too negative - suggest something along the lines of:-

'Britain is waking up ... to the facts of 9/11'

[xmasdale]

I think it's a good leaflet for distribution in certain locations where people have the time and inclination to read, though I tend to agree with Tony's comments about the title:

[drywontonmee]

Thanks for the feedback people

yes, I plan to do revisions every three months or so depending on developments.

Thanks for distributing, I'm ultra pleased about that.

Regarding the title. I understand what you're saying, but the negative title is deliberate reverse psychology. Everyone is bombarded with positive, brain-numbing, we-want-to-please-you kind of pap. I've more than trialed this and people pick it up. I think a broad approach is needed, both the easy, colourful, in your face with big letters and pictures leaflet but also the dry, text heavy stuff. Let's cover all angles. Do it all.

I've dropped about a thousand of these around London and I've sat and watched people get stuck in to it. There's plenty who ignore it and several will pick it up and browse and put it down, but it is still down there for someone else to pick it up. I've had people offering to spread it up north after a quick glance, and old blokes who are against the EU swopping leaflets with me. Let's just get the bloody thing out there or do your own version for your own context.

LET'S JUST GET SOMETHING OUT THERE *****NOW******

Time is running out...

Think of this latest case with the young kid who was convicted of being a terrorist by being groomed on the internet. A clear move to criminalise dissent on the internet. Not much time left before leafleting is one of the few options left.

Power to you brothers and sisters of peace and truth

PS, actually, as an afterthought, it is bloody bad news. Just treating people like grown-ups and telling them the truth.

[TonyGosling]

Wrong. Millions of reasonable ordinary people are fed up with even watching the news because it's so negative. I ask people about this a lot and that's what they tell me. They are fed up with the lies about 'Evil Muslim Brits'. The BBC's protofascist Fiona Bruce dished out more of that today. And people want to stay in the comfort zone, that's understandable.
When was the last time you heard 'Another nail was banged into the coffin of the New World Order today.....' on the news. Except on Alex Jones. When a blow is struck against the NWO it's silenced in the NATO zone.
Don't try reverse psychology on people because they don't appreciate their heads being any further * with. You're talking down to them and that's 90% of what they don't like.
It is not enough to curse the darness. It is also necessary to light a lamp.
Please just take it on the chin, be positive about people waking up to the lies, learn and grow.

[drywontonmee]

well make your own leaflet then

duh

[TonyGosling]

Just a little good advice - don't let it get you down.

[drywontonmee]

haha, no this can't get me down, sweetheart. Make a leaflet, drop thousands, do it your own way.

There, that's advice too.

[drywontonmee]

OK, it's morning now and I now have the energy to clarify:

I disagree with the suggestion that the title is too negative for the following reasons...

A, It works. The purpose of the title and the strap-line is to get people to pick it up and read the contents. I've dropped over a thousand so far and watched all sorts of people pick it up and read it from beginning to end - far more than I had expected. Job done. For those who don't, a happy leaflet with smiley faces and glitter-dust is probably better for them. I encourage you to make such leaflets, if I become so inspired I may do another of that sort sometime in the future. Any one leaflet cannot be all things to all people.

B, It is truthful. It's no good using the title 'Bananas' when a document is about oranges. This leaflet doesn't talk about any good news at all. It talks about very bad news indeed. Again, there are different ways to skin a cat, this leaflet takes a particular approach that happens to not be focussing on positive or good things. It doesn't patronise people or '* with their minds' at all.

I said 'reverse psychology', because it is usual thinking to approach things in the following way - 'Hey, I want people to pick this up and read it, therefore it needs to be nice and happy and cuddly and friendly'. This title reverses this normal psychology by saying, 'No, I'm not going to treat people like children, here is the bad news, take it or leave it.' Many people seem to respect that approach and pick it up and read it.

That's not '*ing with peoples heads'.

In the time it's taken you to slag this off, you could have made your own leaflet with its smiley faces and glitter-dust.

Be true to yourself and others, but for God's sake DO something rather than niggling about others' doings - do it your way, do it better, but do it soon.

[Marigold]

[drywontonmee]

I *DO* take it light-heartedly, sweetheart, I DO. I'm sitting here puffing on a cigar and drinking whisky and water watching Katie and Peter on TV.

This leaflet is about bad news. Today I sat in a train and watched people pick up and read the leaflet because they saw the title you people hate. Therefore I don't care that you hate the title, because (and only because) I repeatedly see that the title works in that it piques peoples interest and they pick the bloody thing up.

So, thanks for the input, but for this leaflet, the title stays.

peace and action

[ian neal]

For what it's worth

1) I reckon this is great leaflet
2) I see no problem with the title

I've tried to pull the text together to make for easier reading on screen

BAD NEWS

LIES - MEDIA - POWER - WAR - TRAITORS – MURDER – THE MEDIA

The mainstream media in the UK and globally is now owned and operated by just a few huge profit-driven corporations1 whose board-members are often involved in other financial, industrial, political, cultural interests. Just a cursory glance at News Corporation’s board (Times, Sun, etc) reveals both Rothschild and J P Morgan lackeys.2 The BBC, despite cosmetic reforms, remains an establishment mouthpiece - still operated by the old-boys’ network (just who is the unelected senior civil servant who selects the panel that selects the governors?).

There are critically important developments in the world which these corrupt media are keeping from the public, often distorting the truth so that the public is manipulated, pacified and rendered compliant. Most workers in the media are as unaware of the extent of this as the public - the agenda is controlled by owners, directors, executives and editors.

Even the supposedly liberal newspapers are controlled and serve the same agenda dressed-up as critical journalism. Just one example of this is The Observer’s old editor (Alton) who suppressed pre-war testimony on Iraq’s nonexistent Weapons of Mass Destruction whilst publishing false stories from Intelligence sources.3 (He’s now editor of The Independent).

SO WHAT?

We now know that the US and UK governments lied to us about the reasons why we invaded Iraq.4 Since then around one million5 Iraqi men, women and children have died for those lies, in our name, yet we are still at war. The killing continues. The media let us down firstly by not exposing the lies and stopping the march to war, secondly by barely paying lipservice to calling the lying murderers to account as the tragedy goes on, and thirdly by not showing us the ongoing horror of the reality of this and all wars.

Everybody generally carries on as if nothing is wrong – yet we are at war. Doesn’t that strike you as a bit odd? War is now normalised. It has always been highly profitable 6 for bankers, arms manufacturers, oil companies and rebuilders, but now, for you and me, it’s just one of those unpleasant things far away that our politicians are sorting out for us while we sit and worry about what’s going on in Eastenders, Big Brother or Top Gear.

If our political system turned out to be almost completely corrupted (left, right and centre), the News at Ten would tell us all about it, wouldn’t they? It is - and they haven’t. The media is broken.

WHAT’S GOING ON?

This little leaflet can only touch upon a couple of the many urgent issues which face the people of the UK and the wider world, but which the mind-numbing major media organisations are choosing to neglect. Iraq is one of the most obvious, and at least people don’t deny that our illegal invasion of Iraq happened or pretend that it was armed to the teeth with viable WMD. They do however whitewash other important events, because revealing the facts would undermine the positions of many extremely rich and powerful networks. These people will do absolutely anything to keep hold of, and further, their power.

Historically, they have been overwhelmingly successful at this, but recently they have made a massive miscalculation - a very big mistake which they are now struggling to keep covered up.

Fortunately for us, this mistake links to many other issues and so serves as the key to understanding these networks and how they relate to many of the world’s problems. That key is the events of 9-11 (September 11th 2001) in the USA.

EVIDENCE

Despite what the corporate and establishment media would have us believe, there is a vast array of factual evidence that has emerged from a huge variety of sources which demonstrates that it is neither likely nor possible for the official version of the events of 9-11 to be true. These sources range through physicists, engineers, architects, demolition experts, military and intelligence personnel, firefighters, police, pilots, video footage, many eyewitnesses and independent researchers and journalists and so on. This evidence cannot just be disregarded with a shrug. It needs to be looked at and dealt with. The implications are too great. It is not about theory, it is about fact. Again, due to space constraints, we can only look at a very small sample of those
facts...

FACTS

• Three towers collapsed at nearly free-fall speed into the path of most resistance - only two were hit by planes. The third building, WTC 7, was a sturdy steel and concrete tower block that suffered only superficial external damage from falling debris from the other towers and a few (unexplained) small internal fires. Its collapse was symmetrical, even, global, neat, sudden, at free-fall speed into it’s own footprint in a manner indistinguishable from a controlled demolition.

• Video footage of WTC 7 shows the initial centralised crimp and ensuing squibs (isolated explosive ejections of dust and air as the building comes down). More classic features of controlled demolition.

• Eyewitnesses report hearing a countdown and repeated explosions as the collapse of WTC 7 was initiated.

• The owner of the WTC complex is on film7 saying (re building 7) that they decided on the day to “pull it” (a demolition term for demolish). It usually takes months to successfully plan, wire-up and prepare for such a clean controlled demolition.

• Before these three buildings, no other steel and concrete tower has ever collapsed due to fire, let alone so catastrophically, symmetrically, quickly and completely.

• A company called Stratesec8 held the contract to provide electronic security for the WTC up to the day of 9-11. They also provided security for Dulles airport and United Airlines. Bush’s brother, Marvin Bush, was a director of Stratesec up to 2000 during most of the company’s work at the WTC. There were also unusual changes in security and power supply in the weeks and months preceding 9-11.

• Physicists have found and tested samples from the site of the World Trade Centre which carry the chemical signature of reacted commercial nano-thermite (also known as thermate) as well as chips of unreacted nano-thermite (this is an incendiary that cuts through steel very quickly at extremely high temperatures). Several members of the official investigation team at NIST just so happen to be deeply involved with the development, production and application of this rare type of substance, and very few others are.9

• The twin towers10 were actually designed and built specifically to withstand jet planes crashing into them with similar kinetic energy to those on 9-11, yet look at the catastrophic results.

• NORAD, the US air defence network, was involved in massive national training exercises simulating attacks on the US including hijacked planes used as weapons on the very same day as the actual attacks. This, and other operations, resulted in a virtual stand-down of US air defences due to confusion and resources being otherwise tied up.11

• In the year preceding the attacks, there were 67 instances12 of aircraft in US airspace being promptly intercepted (well within 20mins) by fighter-jets after going off their flight path or being suspected of hijack, yet the 9-11 planes floated about willy-nilly without being intercepted for up to 41mins (flight 77) over a period of 1hr 40mins.

• Osama Bin Laden previously worked for the CIA13 and five of the hijackers were trained at US military bases. Several hijackers also turned up alive and well after their supposed martyrdom.

• The FBI claimed that the passport from one of flight 11's hijackers was found near the towers (whereas the only other parts of that jet plane or its contents found were a few pieces of landing gear).14

• In the months and days before the attacks, the supposedly fanatical religious Muslim hijackers drank alcohol, bought porn, paid for lapdances, frequented strip-clubs and slept with prostitutes.15

BUT BUSH JNR IS FAR TOO STUPID...

I agree, and as such he’s just a front-man.

SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Elements within the US government and security services (together with external agencies) planned the attacks and the WTC towers were destroyed by controlled demolitions.

BUT THEY WOULDN’T WOULD THEY?

Besides the fact that they happily lied to us to get us into an illegal and unjustifiable war that has resulted in over a million deaths so far, there are other historic precedents which show us that these networks don’t operate by the same ethical standards as you or I. Here are just a few well-documented examples:

Nazi funding - pre 1942. Bush’s grandpa, Prescott Bush, was deeply involved with the financial architects of Nazism in Germany.16, 17

Operation Ajax - 1953. The UK and US successfully conspired together to stage a coup and overthrow the democratically elected progressive government of Iran and install a puppet dictator so that the UK could continue to exploit their oil resources.18

Guatemala - 1954. The CIA arranged a coup which overthrew democratically elected President Jacobo Arbenz and installed a dictator. This precipitated four decades of civil war, which cost the lives of over 200,000 people. The US supported and trained the succession of military regimes and their death squads as they tortured, raped and killed adults and children.19

Indonesia - 1958 & 1965. The CIA first inspired and armed a bloody rebellion which failed20, then arranged a military coup which resulted in the massacre of around 750,000 innocent people.21 The US continues to profit from the exploitation of this resource-rich nation.

Operation Northwoods 22 - 1962. The US government developed plans for CIA operatives to commit acts of terrorism and kill innocent people in US cities, aircraft and ships to create public support for a war against Cuba. The plans were shelved, but the will was there.

The Gulf of Tonkin incident 23 - 1964. Attacks on two US warships by North Vietnamese navy which did not happen were used as a rationale to escalate the Vietnam war and bomb many thousands of civilians.

Chile 24 - 1973. The CIA backed the coup which overthrew the democratically elected Allende and installed Pinochet. They stayed intimate with the regime despite thousands of detentions, disappearances, tortures, rapes and murders.

Nicaragua 25 - 1981 to 1987. The CIA illegally sold arms to Iran to fund the Contras in Nicaragua who targeted civilians with murder, torture, mutilation, and rape.

As soon as he took office in January 2001, Bush Jnr demanded that staff “find a way” to get into a war with Iraq.26

More recently, Vice-president Cheney brainstormed with colleagues how they could get into a war with Iran, suggesting they “set up” a fire-fight between US ships and US SEALS in boats dressed to look like Iranian patrols.27

TO WHOSE BENEFIT?

The evidence is conclusive that 9-11 was what is known as a false-flag event, similar to Operation Northwoods on the previous page, but on a grander scale. Such events are used to galvanise public opinion to be more in favour of otherwise unjustifiable wars and restrictions on domestic civil liberties. I have to tell you it worked on me before I woke up to the facts, as it worked on so many well-meaning people.

The Afghanistan war gave the US access to a major oil pipeline and the Iraq war gave them access to Iraq’s oil and many US contracts. US bases in the middle east in Iraq and Afghanistan also offer huge strategic advantage. The US regime now has more totalitarian power domestically, being on the edge of martial law with overbearing surveillance, police brutality and repression of free-speech and civil liberties. Torture has now been justified28. Dissidents are labelled unpatriotic or even terrorist.

Consider how our own civil liberties in the UK are also being eroded on the backs of 9-11 and 7-7 with the introduction29 of control orders, detention without charge, stop-and-search powers, universal CCTV, the DNA database, ID cards, increasing limits on free-speech and rights to protest or assemble. Habeas Corpus and the Magna Carta are binned as the media mumble few doubts.

GEORGIA

The recent conflict30 between Georgia and Russia was started by Georgia whose troops were trained and armed by the US and Israel and accompanied by US mercenaries as they murdered Russian peacekeepers and over 1400 Ossetian civilians in an unprovoked surprise attack 24 hrs before any Russian troops had entered South Ossetia in response. Most of the western media and governments spun it to make Russia appear 31 to be at fault, where in this instance Russia was actually fulfilling its role of a peacekeeper in the region and coming to the rescue of Ossetians and Russians under attack.

Georgia’s regime is a pro-US puppet and wants to join NATO. Its position on Russia’s border is another huge strategic benefit to the US regime and Israeli firms want control over the region’s oil pipelines.32 Some analysts say the agenda is to restart the cold war.33 As ever, the propagandist media machines are lying to us.

OUR DEMOCRACY

So, here we have three of the most important global issues of our times - 9-11, Iraq and Georgia - where we can see that the media are ignoring them, spinning them, or lying about them. What else are we being duped about? How can we trust them on anything?

How can the propaganda tools of the UK military/ industrial/ financial/ political complex keep our corrupt government system to account? Without a free and independent media there is no democracy. That is how serious this is. The telly, papers, and radio, with their grinning celebrities, are not our friends. They are essentially traitors. In this system, who brings them to account?

WHAT NOW

The almost total control of our government and media by networks of warmongering, anti-democratic, mega-rich sociopaths might seem a daunting thing to oppose, but their success has mainly depended on two things: the ignorance and good-faith of the masses. This leaflet is not meant to tell you what to think, the most important thing you can do now is research - look at the facts, follow where the facts lead you and find out for yourself what is really going on. Step outside the false left-right paradigm and distrust the lying corporate/establishment media.

Below are some links to give you a start, but I offer two warnings. First, don’t waste time - there are moves to increase control of the internet and censor dissenting sources of information. Get it while you can. Second, beware of (and don’t be put off by) disinformation. The internet is full of people and websites generally drawing attention away from and besmirching the good information that is to be found. Once you have informed yourself to the point where you are rightly furious, share that information. Sooner or later a critical mass of awareness will be achieved and their position will become untenable. This leaflet was how I responded to it, you could copy and distribute it (download from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YPMGEZDU), but also find your own ways of sharing, however small. Expect resistance though, people are seldom comfortable with the truth.

[TonyGosling]

It's just a basic psycological fact, unless we are positive and upbeat about the current situation and the future we'll end up turning everybody off the subject. That psycology was and is part of the 9/11 perpetrators' plan.

[Stefan]

The facts in the leaflet are all open-source - no need to tell dry to change anything, just make your own version and distribute it.

[Disco_Destroyer]

News papers are bought because
a) Bold and Shocking Headline
b) Sports Pages
C) Light Titilation :0
Not for being upbeat. That said we do need to be upbeat about our engagement, discusion and delivery to said people. Ours is the power to succeed not spread worries of Doom and Gloom.

[TonyGosling]

Here's a whole load of good common sense text to supplement this leaflet.
