Bill Kristol’s Weekly Standard Attacks 9/11 Truth

Describes those asking questions regarding attacks as “lunatics”

A piece entitled The Truthers’ New Friends has appeared in this week’s edition of the Weekly Standard, which slams questions surrounding the attacks as “Anti-American” and those who entertain them as “lunatics”.

The piece focuses on the screening of Italian film maker Giulietto Chiesa’s ZERO on Russian State TV last month.

Clearly the fact that up to 30 million Russian citizens were able to switch on their TVs and watch a debate about 9/11 as a false flag event has got some at the Standard extremely riled.

“On September 12, the America-bashing reached a new low: a prime-time special on national television peddling the notion that the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks of September 11, 2001, were an inside job by American warmongers.” writes Cathy Young.

“…the lunatics, for the most part, were running the asylum. The discussion was heavily dominated by several pro-conspiracy panelists who dismissed the “official story” of “19 Arabs directed by Osama bin Laden in a cave” as self-evidently absurd.” the piece continues.

Young insinuates that the whole thing was a set up bent on “stoking anti-Americanism in the Russian population”. She even suggests “the purpose may have been retaliation: You won’t buy our version of the war in Georgia? Fine, we won’t buy your version of 9/11,” referring to the recent Western corporate media bias over the conflict in South Ossetia.

Read the entire hit piece here.

According to a Russia Today poll 84% of their citizens are “lunatics” by the Standard’s definition. Indeed, according to a global survey by WorldPublicOpinion.org, over half the world’s population are “lunatics”.

Of course, we shouldn’t be surprised by the Standard’s attack , given that it is edited by arch Neo-Con Bill Kristol, he of the PNAC, whom you may recall advanced the prospect of a “New American Century” based primarily on preemptive warfare and military dominance.

In 2000 the report he submitted his name to, along with Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld , stated that it’s goals would not be achievable in the immediate term “absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event—like a new Pearl Harbor”.

New TASER Weapons Produced For Crowd Control

Stun gun manufacturer rolls out devices that promise to “drop everyone in a given area to the ground”

Everyone’s favourite stun gun manufacturer Taser has unveiled it’s latest loving piece of “non lethal” technology, The Taser Shockwave.

The new weapon is significantly different to the Tasers currently used by police in that it has six different electrified charges and is designed to target crowds rather than individuals.

The cartridges are tethered by 25-foot wires, which can be fired from a distance of up to 100 meters in a 20-degree arc. The “probes” on the end of the cartridges can pierce through clothing and skin, emitting 50,000 volts of electricity in the process.

“Full area coverage is provided to instantaneously incapacitate multiple personnel within that region” Taser explains.

“Multiple Shockwave units can be stacked together (like building blocks) either horizontally or vertically in order to extend area coverage or vertically to allow for multiple salvo engagements.” The product description states.

The weapons can also be vehicle mounted or “daisy chained” according to Taser. Clearly it is anticipated that these things will be used on sizable crowds, meaning an increased likelihood of indiscriminate targeting.

Watch a presentation on the Shockwave from Taser:

The Shockwave isn’t the only new development on Taser’s books either. The Extended-Range Electronic Projectile (XREP) is touted as the first electric shock weapon that can be fired from a normal gun, in this case a 12-gauge shotgun. It delivers a 20-second shock, compared with the default setting five-second shock of a traditional taser X26.

“To maximize incapacitation, the XREP engine incorporates a microprocessor controlled optimal electrode selection technology. Twenty times per second, the XREP engine checks for the optimal electrode connection to maximize the contact spread and achieve greatest incapacitation.” Taser states.

Watch a demonstration:

Both the Taser Shockwave and the XREP are scheduled to go into full production by the end of this year.

Taser has been the subject of much controversy and outrage. One year ago the UN’s Committee Against Torture issued a statement on the TaserX26, which read: “The use of TaserX26 weapons, provoking extreme pain, constituted a form of torture, and that in certain cases it could also cause death, as shown by several reliable studies and by certain cases that had happened after practical use.”

We still await more loving developments from Taser including the much anticipated Taser saucer.
