2002
2002 saw the US Department of Homeland Security created for multiple purposes. This was portrayed as a response to 9-11, like the whole Patriot Act, but in fact had a common set of perpetrators. Senator Paul Wellstone was killed in a plane crash, officially described as an accident. The perpetrators of 9-11 were still working to concoct a plausible official narrative, and to tidy up as many of the loose ends as possible. Katherine Smith, for example, one of many 9/11 Premature deaths; she was firebombed in her car the day before she was due to testify in court. Commercially-controlled media continued to hype the “war on terror”, replaying a selected subset of the events of the previous year (omitting some of the more inconvenient ones such as the spontaneous collapse of World Trade Center 7 and the Amerithrax case).[su_expand height=”60″]
On 12 October 2002, two bombs were detonated in a tourist area in Bali, Indonesia. 202 people were killed, mostly tourists from Australia or Europe. The Australian Government promptly introduced laws that required all ISPs in Australia to collect and monitor the data passing through their servers. Meanwhile, in the Telecommunications Interception Legislation Amendment Bill of 2002 it granted its agencies powers to intercept and read email, SMS and voice-mail messages without a warrant.
In 2005, the former President of Indonesia, Abdurrahman Wahid stated that “The orders to do this or that came from within our armed forces not from the fundamentalist people”, i.e. that he believed the bombing was a false flag attack. Asked who he thought planted the second bomb, he replied “Maybe the police… or the armed forces.”[/su_expand]

by Jim Fetzer (with Dennis Cimino) The day of the crash, a Friday, I was being interviewed in my office at the University of Minnesota Duluth about the death of JFK by a reporter for a weekly alternative newspaper in Duluth, THE RIPSAW.

Let’s compare two false-flag terror events, of 2002 and 2005, in Bali and London. In both cases the experts appeared hardly able to say, what the explosive had been. The Bali-bomb story had its explosives keep changing, starting off with stories about ‘C4’ – ‘Plastic explosive clue in Bali bombing’ – in this respect it was very similar to the London 7/7 story. It ended up with ...

The court actions -- one in the UK, the other in Fort Worth, Texas -- suggest that the company did not move aggressively enough when reports of sexual misconduct among its employees began ...

(Suzanne Deffree - June 11, 2018) On June, 11, 2002, the United States Congress acknowledged Italian immigrant Antonio Meucci as the true inventor of the telephone. The declaration, approved by the House of Representatives, was made to little fanfare in the US.

It takes courage to risk one’s career and reputation by becoming a whistleblower, defined as “a person who informs on someone engaged in an illicit activity.” For retired FBI agent Coleen Rowley, remaining quiet after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 was not an option. Time Magazine named her Person of the Year in 2002, along with fellow whistleblowers Cynthia Cooper of WorldCom and Sherron Watkins ...
