9/11 and Reactionary Judaism (4 of 4): Whither America?
Posted by: duckandgather on: July 30, 2007
This blog posting series concerns the story about foreknowledge of the 9/11 events among certain Israelis, and how I am troubled by the story. One way that I am troubled concerns the wall of silence that the American Media has erected to block out this story these last six years. But I am even more [...]
9/11 and Reactionary Judaism (3 of 4): As Told By Jews
Posted by: duckandgather on: July 30, 2007
Given Parts 1 and 2 of this posting series, I suppose it goes without saying that I lean toward believing that certain Israels had highly accurate advance knowledge of the 9/11 events.

This is a map from a memo dated September 14, 2004, authored by a retired corporate lawyer named Gerald Shea. Shea sent the memo, entitled “Memorandum to the National Commission on the Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (pdf)“, to the [...]

So my wife says to me a couple of days ago: “You’re thinking about this stuff again? Why?”
Good question. I suppose the answer is that early last week, I was looking through my site stats, and noticed that some folks were clicking on some of my 9/11 postings from last September. I looked at those [...]

This Donaghy NBA reffing scandal (see previous posting) is a perfect allegory for the blind spot of not only America, but the entire 1000-year-and-running Western Culture (that included the British and Spanish empires before the present American one). Still, America’s blind spot seems even stronger.
This blind spot is about America’s inability to understand seemingly isolated [...]
Mr. Donaghy was Doing a Good Job

I just added an Essay on the Donaghy NBA scandal. Here’s the abstract:
On Friday, July 20, 2007, a story broke that shook the NBA to its foundations. An NBA referee is about to arrested for point shaving and disclosing secret information, by way of helping the mob in its gambling activities. Early indications are that [...]
Waking up Quietly
Posted by: duckandgather on: July 20, 2007
Back in August of 2005, I received the first ever email from a person who used the “Email Me” link at the bottom of the page. The mail was from a fellow named Matt S. Actually, I know Matt’s full name from his emails to me. But since he has never submitted a public comment [...]
