Dark Ages



by Jethro Tull
(Posted for Victronix)

Darlings are you ready for the long winter's fall?
said the lady in her parlor
said the butler in the hall.
Is there time for another?
cried the drunkard in his sleep.
Not likely
said the little child. What's done
the Lord can keep.
And the vicar stands a-praying.
And the television dies
as the white dot flickers and is gone
and no-one stops to cry.
The big jet rumbles over runway miles
that scar the patchwork green
where slick tycoons and rich buffoons
have opened up the seam
of golden nights and champagne flights
ad-man overkill
and in the haze
consumer crazed
we take the sugar pill.
Jagged fires mark the picket lines
the politicians weep
and mealy-mouthed
through corridors of power on tip-toe creep.
Come and see bureaucracy
make its final heave
and let the new disorder through
while senses take their leave.
Families screaming line the streets
and put the windows through
in corner shops
where keepers kept
the country's life-blood blue.
Take their pick
and try the trick
with loaves and fishes shared
and the vicar shouts
as the lights go out,
and no-one really cares.

Dark Ages
shaking the dead
Closed pages
better not read
Cold rages
burn in your head.

For What it's Worth



There's somethin' happenin' here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun, over there
Tellin' me I got to beware

(I think it's time we)
Stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's goin' down?

There's battle lines bein' drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speakin' their minds
Gettin' so much resistance from behind

(It's time we)
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's goin' down?

What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singin' songs and carryin' signs
Mostly sayin', "hooray for our side"

(It's time we)
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's goin' down?

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away

(We better)
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's goin' down?
(We better)
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's goin' down?
(We better)
Stop, now, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's goin' down?
(We better)
Stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's goin' down?

Mubarak's 9/11 Critique

The following was submitted to and rejected by 911Blogger


In his 9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA Webster Griffin Tarpley comments on the remarks of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. The full text of Mobarak's comments are quoted below. In what follows, text in red represents Tarpley's comments, and blue the excerpts from Mobarak's comments which Tarpley included.


One of the observations made by Mubarak seems very insightful and relevant regarding how the Pentagon was hit. Note that there is no better approach to the face of the Pentagon which was hit for a cruise missile or for an airplane programmed to behave like a cruise missile. The plane flew directly over the parking-lot of the Navy Annex which is the large white, multi-winged, rectangular building. To the left is the expressway, and to the right the ground elevation continues to rise.



In a CNN interview on September 15, 2001, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak commented about the 9/11 events. His testimony is of interest because he spent his military career as a fighter pilot in the Egyptian Air Force. Mubarak was also one of the world leaders who had tried to warn the US government about what was coming in the summer of 2001. Mubarak said first of all that he found the US government's official version, which was then taking shape, technically implausible.


President Hosni Mubarak expressed the Egyptian people's sympathy with the American people in their ordeal resulting from Tuesday's terrorist assault on the United States.


In an interview with the CNN, President Mubarak said that the Egyptian people share a sense of grief resulting from Tuesday's attacks on innocent civilians in the United states.


He added that what happened in the U.S. was a shock to us.


In reply to a question by the CNN correspondent on whether he believes that what happened in the U.S. has something to do with the feeling of frustration as a result of the problems facing the Mideast peace process, the president said I can not exactly say this, but probably there have been certain ideas that led to that. The president said that when he advised for the first time against terrorism in 1991, his advice has not been seriously taken.


As regards Tuesday's assault, the president said that he believes that no one could ever imagine that carriers be used in such attacks.


He said that whoever did that must have been well-trained to fly over this area.


In reply to a query on the perpetrators of the assault, President Mubarak said that he does not want to jump to conclusions.


The president called for not speculating and recalled that Oklahoma city blast was first blamed on Arabs but it was discovered at a later stage that the one who carried out the operation was not an Arab.


The president said let us wait for the results of the investigations.




Full text



Mubarak: The people although they sometimes differ in policies in the Middle East, they were very sad, innocent people wailing were killed, without any reason, a man going to work, people in the streets. We had Egyptians in the towers as well.


Muslim, Christians, Jews, we don't care, there is no difference, they are human beings and so, for us it is shocking, I kept all the time sitting in my chair looking at the news, until the end, I couldn't sleep until three o'clock, I couldn't believe it, so it is shocking and we are very very sorry for that. So, immediately we convened the cabinet, to discuss the situation, they gave a tough statement in Arabic, and I sent condolences to President Bush, and after that to Rumsfeild and to the Chairman of the Congress. It is really embarrassing.



Q: Do you think that attacks relate in any way to the frustrations felt over the problems in the Middle East peace process?



Mubarak:I cannot tell you that exactly, but maybe (it) is one of the elements that led to that, but even with the advice I was giving, I said it since 1991, when I said it for the first time, when Europe and other countries said Mubarak has some problems with the terrorists, we are far away. I kept repeating this advice. Terrorist action, nobody ever thought of using commercial planes to make such a thing.


Precautions we take on the ground, people may hijack planes, do this…do that, but we couldn't think not any intelligence in the world could have the capability in the world to say they are going to use commercial planes with passengers on board to crash the towers to crash the pentagon, those who did that should have flown in the area a long time, for example. The Pentagon is not very high, a pilot could come straight to the Pentagon like this to hit, he should have flown a lot in this area to know the obstacles which could meet him when he is flying very low with a big commercial plane to hit the Pentagon in a special place.


Somebody has studied this very well, someone has flown in this area very much.



Sensing a challenge to the orthodoxy of the official version, the CNN reporter countered:


Q: Are you suggesting it was an inside operation, I may ask, who do you think is behind this?



Mubarak: Frankly speaking I don't want to jump to conclusions, you in the United States when you catch somebody, some rumors about somebody, you say Oh no, it is not Egyptian, it is Saudi, it is Emirates...all this is inside any house of an Arab, the people say the Arabs are participating…you cannot foretell, it is better to wait.


You remember Oklahoma…there came rumors immediately that the Arabs did it, and it was not Arabs, who knows..let us wait and see what is the result of the investigations, because something like this done in the United States is not an easy thing for some pilots who had been training in Florida, so many pilots go and train just to fly and have a license, that means you are capable to do such terroristic action. I am speaking as a former pilot, I know that very well, I flew very heavy planes, I flew fighters, I know that very well, this is not an easy thing, so I think we should not jump to conclusions from now.



One senses that Mubarak is restraining his skepticism for diplomatic reasons; he does not believe the official story, and he has good reasons for not doing so.


Q:How do you think the attacks have affected international relations?



Mubarak: I can tell you the whole world is very upset, people are very angry, because of people being killed with no reason, human beings, earning a living, looking after their families, they lose their husbands, their children, the mothers, the wives it is very dangerous, unbelievable by all dimensions.


Of course the whole world should be careful, and I said several times, we should make an international conference in the UN, there should be a study before that, and it should come to a conclusion, not to permit any country to host those who committed terrorist attacks, but some countries said no, because (some) say Israel and Palestinians, self determination...I don't want to go into this, but it is a must now, I heard Colonel Powell say he wants to make coalition against terrorism.


We don't want to divide the world into different factions, we would like to unite, the best thing is to make an international conference in the UN, and this should be very well prepared beforehand, and to come to conclusions and articles which every country in the world should respect and implement, this is the only way, it is a very strong signal what happened in the United States. You never know, many things could happen after that, so you have to be very cautious, we should not delay, we shouldn't say "Oh! All right, we cannot do more than that." You never know, you never know.q



Q: You have dealt with terrorism, what advice can you give to the USA at this point on how to deal with what happened?



Mubarak: We suffered a lot from terrorism, that is why we are telling the whole world publically Be careful, don't host, give asylum to these people?. Some countries used to take elements from Egypt and Saudi Arabia and give them asylum, to be used against these countries afterwards, it is a big mistake.


They are going to suffer whether they like it or not, so we have very good experience with these people, we have to be very strict with these groups, we have to take very tough action with them when we know who did it.



Q: The US has promised a strong military response to these attacks, what do you think about that?



Mubarak: Look, I don't want to jump to conclusions, let us wait, what about if they are Americans, are you going to attack yourselves? Let us wait, be calm, take it easy, make good investigation, and whenever you come to a conclusion, I think tough measures will be taken.



Q: Has Egypt been asked to participate in investigations?



Mubarak: No, we are cooperating with all the intelligence organizations in your coutnry, any information helping in it, and continuous contact between countries, we have much more information than any other friend of yours in this part of the world and you can understand me.



Q: Do you have much more information on these attacks?



Mubarak: No, on the terrorist groups.



Q: Do you think the world is a safe place?



Mubarak: Not every place, but we have to make it safe, we have to cooperate, and deal with any kind of terrorism toughly and strictly, this is the only way to make the whole world safe, now where it is safe, two days after this nightmare took place, someone said, he is not an Egyptian, he said today is a good day for the Muslims. May goodness. Thousands of people were killed, and he is given asylum in one country... I dont want to mention and he is saying this, and no body tells him anything.



Q: When I saw it on the television, I couldn't believe it.



Such an organization is not an easy thing, it is not something that one could do it, it is a very complicated operation, so we have to make good investigation, not to accuse anybody before coming to the final result, because to be hurried and say it is this, it is that, you are going to make conflicts among the sects in your country, among the Muslims and Christians and Jews, the hatred will be deepened, and at the end, may be none of these may be elements.


Thank you.

Iron Mountain Holds UAL 93 Secrets



When we asked at the Shanksville Flight 93 Memorial about the final disposition of the wreckage from UAL 93 we were told that it had been returned to the airline company. This assertion struck us as completely inconsistent with what would be expected for the handling of evidence in an as yet unsolved mass murder. The account provided in the above video seem more consistent with the nature of the situation, but still raises troubling questions regarding many aspects of the case. What does the debris indicate regarding the possibility of a shoot down? What does it tell us about the identity of the plane from which it came? Can serial numbers from parts be traced to maintenance logs.
