20 Smoking Guns: The 9/11 Military/Psyops Attack

20) When September 11th prior knowledge broke in the mainstream media, around May 2002, most of it focused on the use of planes as bombs and whether or not intelligence agencies had considered this method of attack.
Although the coverage was a whitewash in itself, it can easily be proven that authorities knew terrorists were likely to use airliners as bombs. Once this is known, those that gave press conferences denying the jetliners as bombs foreknowledge, such as Condoleeza Rice, George Tenet and George Bush, can be exposed as outright liars.

In October 2000, the Pentagon conducted a series of simulations (pictured) designed to test the response to a commercial airliner crashing into their headquarters, as took place on September 11th.

The CIA, on the very morning of September 11th, was also conducting a mock exercise where a plane crashes into its headquarters.

The US was warned in 1995 of a plot to hijack commercial planes and slam them into the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. The plan was named Project Bojinka and was uncovered by Phillipine authorities. It originated with Ramzi Yousef (pictured), one of the masterminds of the first WTC bombing in 1993. The information was passed on to the FBI who totally ignored it.

U.S. and Italian officials were warned in July that Islamic terrorists might attempt to kill President Bush and other leaders by crashing an airliner into the Genoa summit of industrialized nations. They went so far as to mount anti-aircraft guns at the city's airport.

The Echelon spy network also gave British and German intelligence clear information that terrorists were going to hijack commercial planes and use them to attack symbols of American culture.

19) If a freshman school kid knew about the imminent September 11th attack, then how on earth could the biggest intelligence agencies in the world not know?

On September 6 — five days before the attack — Antoinette DiLorenzo, who teaches English as a second language to a class of Pakistani immigrants, led a class discussion about world events. She asked a freshman (his name has been withheld): “What are you looking at?” The youth was peering out the third floor window toward lower Manhattan. After he made the remark about the World Trade Center not being there next week, the teacher didn’t immediately think much of it, though it stuck in her mind.

Note that the remark does not just broadly state that the towers
will be attacked, but specifically that they will disappear.

This is just one of numerous smoking guns to suggest that the Muslim community across the world was aware of the terrorist attack. Islamic calendars (pictured) circulated last year depicting a plane crashing into lower Manhattan. The plot was even the subject of everyday street gossip in Cairo Egypt in August 2001. Everybody knew. Are we to believe the most sophisticated intelligence agencies in the world didn't?

18) Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency warned the CIA and the FBI in August 2001 that terrorists linked to Osama bin Laden were planning large scale terrorist attacks on highly visible targets of commerce and military, to take place imminently.

The CIA completely ignored the warning despite the fact that it correlated with similar urgent warnings from a multitude of other sources.

17) A-29-year old Iranian deportee phoned US police from his German cell to warn of an imminent attack on the World Trade Center.

The Lower Saxony Justice Ministry has confirmed the man warned of the impending series of terrorist attacks, but had not been believed. They refused to confirm exactly when the calls were made, but it was before September 11th.

This is another example of how virtually the entire Arab world was aware of the fact that the WTC had been targeted for immediate destruction. Again, US authorities refused to follow up on the information.

16) Delmart Edward “Mike” Vreeland, an American citizen whose claims to being a US Naval Lieutenant assigned to the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) are being increasingly corroborated in open court, has been in a Canadian jail since December 6, 2000. On August 11 or 12 of 2001, the date is uncertain, after trying to verbally alert his Canadian jailers to the coming World Trade Center attacks, he wrote down key information and sealed it in an envelope which he then had placed in jailers’ custody. This event is not disputed by Canadian authorities. The letter specifically listed a number of targets including The Sears Towers, The World Trade Center, The White House, The Pentagon, The World
Trade Center, The White House, The Pentagon, The World Bank, The Canadian parliament building in Ottawa and the Royal Bank in Toronto.

A chilling sentence follows the list of targets, “Let one happen. Stop the rest!!!”

Vreeland obtained this information while conducting clandestine work in Moscow. The Russian government and FSB were also aware of the information, This is why, prior to September 11, Russian media and officials encouraged citizens to cash out U.S. dollars pending an economic collapse there after an "attack."

15) Clinton security chiefs repeatedly rejected vital intelligence that would have resulted in stifling numerous worldwide terror cells, primarily Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda. The government of Sudan offered to both arrest bin Laden or at least closely monitor his activities within the country, and turn over files, some an inch and a half thick, a vast database on bin Laden and more than 200 leading
members of his al-Qaeda network.

Clinton's Secretary of State Madeleine Albright responded to the offer by giving the order for US missiles to blast the al-Shifa medicine factory, which supplied 60 per cent of Sudan's medicines, and had contracts to make vaccines with the UN.

The resources Clinton rejected would have entailed that "we probably would have never seen a September 11."

14) The US Justice Department, from March 2001 onwards, made a series of arrests of Israelis. It later transpired that these were Mossad agents and had prior knowledge of the September 11th attacks. Many of these spies were suspected of being tasked with the logistics of preparing the September 11 attacks.

If the Justice Department (headquarters pictured) arrested spies with prior knowledge of 9/11 in March 2001, then the Justice Department also had prior knowledge of 9/11 in March 2001.

Another Israeli link concerns the instant messaging company, Odigo. Two hours before Flight 11 crashed into the north tower, two employees at Odigo received text messages stating that an attack on the World Trade Center was about to occur. Nothing was done.

13) Were there in fact any hijackers at all? In the days following September 11th, the FBI released a list of the 19 hijackers.

At least four of these hijackers are still alive. Saudi Arabian pilot Waleed Al Shehri (top right) was one of five men that the FBI said had deliberately crashed American Airlines flight 11 into the World Trade Centre on 11 September. Now he is protesting his innocence from Casablanca, Morocco.

He told journalists there that he had nothing to do with the attacks on New York and Washington, and had been in Morocco when they happened. He has contacted both the Saudi and American authorities, according to Saudi press reports.

Other so called 'suicide hijackers' who have come forward to protest their innocence (being alive is a good enough alibi) are Abdulaziz Al Omari (bottom right), Saeed Alghamdi (top left) and Khalid Al Midhar (bottom left).

Even the lead hijacker's father says he speaks to his son often. Mohammed el-Amir Atta, father of Mohammad Atta, stated, "My son called me the day after the attacks on September 12 at around midday. We spoke for two minutes about this and that."

12) Mayor of San Francisco Willie Brown was set to fly into New York on the morning of September 11. However, he got a call from what he described as his 'airport security' late September 10th advising against flying due to a security threat.

Brown awoke on September 11th to scenes of the WTC on fire and obviously his flight was cancelled.
Who exactly warned Mayor Willie Brown and why didn't the people on the hijacked planes get the same warning? Brown refuses to comment any further on the subject.

Source - San Francisco Chronicle

11) A Moroccan Secret Service agent successfully infiltrated Al-Qaeda for 2 months before the 9/11 attacks. Hassan Dabou broke cover in the Summer of 2001 to warn his bosses that the terror group was plotting “something spectacular” in New York.

The operation was to be large scale and would occur in the summer or autumn of 2001.

Secret service chiefs are said to have taken seriously the tip from one of its veteran informants and immediately passed on the details to Washington.

Source - London Times

10) The National Security Agency intercepted two messages on September 10th indicating a significant event was to take place the next day. The messages were in Arabic and stated "tomorrow is zero hour" and "the match begins tomorrow."

The NSA claimed they didn't have any details regarding the origin or location of these messages, yet, as James Bamford has reported, years ago the NSA had cracked both Al-Qaeda's and Osama bin Laden's encrypted communications technology.

Furthermore, the NSA stated "You know how many times we hear things much more serious than that? Lots of times." They claimed the intercepts were of no significance. If this was the case, then why did the FBI begin threatening Senators for information as to who leaked the story?

Source - Reuters


9) Khalid Almihdhar and Nawaf Alhazmi were two of the hijackers aboard Flight 77 that slammed into the Pentagon. Upon leaving Malaysia, Almihdhar and Alhazmi went to San Diego, where they took flight-school lessons. In September 2000, the two moved into the home of a Muslim man who had befriended them at the local Islamic Center.

The FBI confirms that this man was an asset
of theirs. He was a room mate of the hijackers.

Almihdhar and Alhazmi had already been linked with the October 2000 bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen by CIA analysts.

Why on earth didn't the CIA and FBI tap their agent for information on these terrorists prior to September 11?

Source - Newsweek

8) A pivotal player in the Clinton impeachment proceedings was David Schippers, investigative counsel for the House Judiciary Committee. Schippers was responsible for all investigations under the impeachment inquiry.

Before September 11th, Schippers represented a group of FBI agents who were seething because they had been pulled off terrorism related investigations by their superiors.

The agents told Schippers that there was going to be a massive attack on lower Manhattan by the end of the year. Schippers frantically tried to arrange a meeting with Attorney General John Ashcroft right up until a month before the attack.

Ashcroft made it clear to his underlings that he was not interested in the information and Schippers was rebuffed again and again.

7) On the morning of September 11, the CIA was running a drill which centred around the scenario of planes crashing into government buildings.

In yet another 'extraordinary coincidence' the CIA said that the operation had been planned for months but was cancelled as soon as the 'real' attack unfolded.

This so-called drill was likely used to get NORAD to stand down. When it was announced that the planes had been hijacked word would have come down that it was just a CIA drill and not to respond.

The existence of this 'drill' was released and watered down to prevent the whole truth coming out later.

Source - Associated Press

6) Pakistan ISI Director General Mahmud Ahmad instructed Ahmad Umar Sheikh to hotwire $100,000 to the 9/11 lead hijacker, Mohammad Atta.

On September 11th, Ahmad was a guest of former clandestine CIA officer and CFR member Rep. Porter Goss and Skull and Bones/CFR member Senator Bob Graham. Since September 4th, he had met with top brass at the CIA, the Pentagon and the White House, including Colin Powell, Richard Armitage, Joseph Biden and George Tenet.

Condoleezza Rice lied in a May 16th 2002 press conference when she claimed ignorance of Ahmad's visit and the $100,000 transfer. Ahmad had
already resigned from the ISI and the FBI had confirmed the circumstances behind this. Rice stated "I have not seen that report, and he was certainly not meeting with me."

What was the money man behind the terrorists doing in the halls of the US government before, during and after 9/11?

This is just one example of the firm alliance running through the CIA, which in turn controls the ISI, which in turn controls Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda.

5) Newsweek twice reported that top Pentagon officials had got a warning of the impending attack on September 10th, and cancelled their flights for the next day. This confirms that these officials knew both the locations of the imminent attack and the method of using jetliners as bombs.

"On Sept. 10, NEWSWEEK has learned, a group of top Pentagon officials suddenly cancelled travel plans for the next morning, apparently because of security concerns."

"NEWSWEEK has learned that while U.S. intelligence received no specific warning, the state of alert had been high during the past two weeks, and a particularly urgent warning may have been received the night before the attacks, causing some top Pentagon brass to cancel a trip. Why that same information was not available to the 266 people who died aboard the four hijacked commercial aircraft may become a hot topic on the Hill."

Sources - Newsweek September 24th - Newsweek September 13th

4) A record number of 'put' options, speculation that the stock of a company will fall, were placed on American and United Airlines in the days preceding September 11th. This despite a September 10th Reuters report stating 'airline stocks set to fly.'

Between September 6 and 7, the Chicago Board Options Exchange saw purchases of 4,744 put options on United
Airlines, but only 396 call options. On September 10, 4,516 put options on American Airlines were bought on the Chicago exchange, compared to only 748 calls.

The investigation as to which criminals benefited from advance knowledge of the terrorist attack led straight to Alex Brown/Deutsche Bank - chaired up until 1997 by executive director of the CIA, Buzzy Krongard.

3) From July 4th-14th 2001, Osama bin Laden was being treated for kidney infection at the American Hospital, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. There, on multiple occasions, he met with CIA station Chief Larry Mitchell. Bin Laden gave Mitchell 'precise information' regarding 'an imminent attack' on the US. Bin Laden also met with numerous members of his family, who left the US by
chartered flights after September 11th with the full blessings of the US government.

A 2000 Clinton presidential executive order was still in effect and mandated that bin Laden should have been killed on the spot. Bin Laden was allowed to leave of his own free will.

Sources - Washington Times - London Evening Standard

2) A leaked FBI document, 199I WF213589, outlined disgust at a Bush administration directive that succeeded in blocking anti-terrorism investigations related to the bin Laden family and Saudi charities that were front groups for Al-Qaeda.

Bush ordered the FBI to "back off" Abdullah bin Laden and the World Association of Muslim Youth, a known terror smokescreen outfit. In their own education
pamphlets, WAMY extol the virtues and ideals of Osama bin Laden. Bush ensured they were protected prior to September 11th.

Special FBI Agent Robert Wright later testified that he had been threatened to discontinue his anti-terrorist investigations under the same program.

Another startling revelation in the same reports concerned the American Visa Bureau in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Its former head, Michael Springman, was ordered to issue visas to Al-Qaeda members so they could participate in terrorist training run by Osama bin Laden and the CIA.

Sources - BBC - Times of India - United Press International - Michael Springman Interview

1) Andrews Air Force Base is only ten miles from the Pentagon. Air defense around Washington is provided mainly by fighter planes from Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland near the District of Columbia border. The D.C. Air National Guard is also based there and equipped with F-16 fighter planes. In a blatant reversal of Standard Operating Procedure, the Air Force, via willful negligence,
is given stand down orders not to intercept Flight 77, which will subsequently hit the Pentagon.

Flight 77 is known by NORAD to have been hijacked by 8:50am. Yet it is a full 48 minutes until any fighters are scrambled, as two leave Langley AFB just two minutes before Flight 77 hits the Pentagon at 9:40am.

Andrews AFB had two combat ready squadrons that would have intercepted Flight 77 had they been allowed to leave upon confirmation of its hijacking. It is Standard Operating Procedure to intercept all air traffic that fails to respond to radio calls immediately. This was the case with the golfer Payne Stewart's chartered Lear Jet that crashed in October 1999. F-16 Fighters (without the need of a Presidential mandate) had intercepted the aircraft within 21 minutes.

This represents wilful coordinated negligence between the FAA, NORAD, the Pentagon (who also track all air traffic) and President Bush, who as this was all unfolding, was reading a book about a pet goat to a group of schoolchildren.

News in Thursday

Transhumanism have been promoted for years now. Transhumanism is a movement where people want man to achieve godhood basically. They believe that technology can possibly be utilized to not only cure or prevent disease (or disability). Transhumanists want to be without illness and age as little as possible. They believe that certain techniques can grow their natural human abilities. They believe that man can be immortal via the usage of nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, artificial limbs, and genetic enhancement. The nature of humanity and our natural limitations are rejected in the philosophy of transhumanism. It rejects the dignity inherit in every human being since transhumanism rejects the nature of man. Ethical guidance is eliminated in transhumanism. The reason is that they take a blind eye of the medical realities of enhancement, genetic, pharmaceutical, and other parts of the medical world. The ideology tries to control people. Transhumanism nowadays have been talked about in journals, societies, and conferences. Surrogates, Limitless, Splice, and other films deal with the subject of transhumanism. The movies deal the subjects of human being enhanced with artificial bodies, brain boosting drugs or genetic engineering, etc. Yet, man becomes beholden to the technology he creates, which causes a nightmare. “Surrogates” deal with a technology that help the handicapped to be used by the able bodied and eventually uses a robotic surrogate to go about their daily business. People no longer interact face to face, but through their synthetic double. Even the husband and wife living in the same house need their surrogates to relate to each other. Limitless is about Eddie talking a drug to enhance his mental capabilities. He is later addicted, but the withdrawal may kill him. He spends the rest of the movie in trying to get more of the drug. “Splice” deals with scientists mixing human with animal DNA. The creation is mostly human, part animal organism. They are capable to mating with humans. It doesn’t end well. Transhumanism doesn’t make a distinction between therapy and enhancement. Therapy deals with curing or preventing a disease or disability and trying to return a patient to a more normal state. Enhancement takes an otherwise healthy individual and makes more than in human (in intelligence, strength, or other desired characteristic). In therapy, an artificial limb can help people missing limbs. In enhancement, a good limb would be chopped off and replaced with an artificial one that works than the natural one. Therapy and enhancement are 2 different processes using similar technology. Transhumanism is a trap since it falsely believes that man can achieve godhood beyond just the legitimate use of technology to help human beings. Using technology for therapeutic purposes is fine. Transhumanism doesn’t deal with healing. It deals with trying to create some Utopian society, which is impossible since humanity by nature isn’t perfect. It doesn’t really deal with healing. It deals with an Utopian vision plainly speaking.

Kurt Nimmo is once again wrong on the Tea Party issue. He falsely says that the Black Caucus wants to incite a war with the views about Tea Party Americans. That’s a lie. You can disagree with the Tea party and disagreement has nothing to do with agitating racial conflict. I don’t agree that every Tea Party person wants to lynch people, but some of their views are archaic and wrong. Al Green, Frederic Wilson, Maxime Waters, Cedric Richmond, and Andre Carson should just criticize the Tea Party on the facts alone. The facts speak for themselves about that party. People like Nimmo talk about the race card, but they ignore Sean Bell, they ignore the necessity of the Civil Rights Act, and they ignore white supremacy. People have across the political spectrum have criticized the Tea party. Just because someone criticized the Tea Party, doesn’t mean that a person is some brainwashed neo-con or a political establishment figure. I don’t believe in war mongering. Nimmo equates the government promoting legitimate resources to help human beings suffering as a magical ATM, which I find false disrespectful. People are starving to death and the people have the right to receive public and private assistance in extreme circumstances. Nimmo is a hustler for Austrian economics. Nimmo intentionally omits the fact that from 1945-1975, there was a radical decrease in poverty, an increase of employment, and a growing of manufacturing due to government intervention (plus private assistance) not Austrian Economics. The liberalization of economic policies and the trickled down economic system has contributed to the recession that we have witness in our present time of 2011. Legitimately protesting the policies of the Tea Party is a part of the First Amendment. There is nothing wrong with having a handle on the federal government (in terms of preventing it from harming our civil liberties, foreign policy, and legitimate issues). It’s wrong to just eliminate the social safety net under the guise of “reducing” the power of the federal government. The Constitution gives the government the right to tax, build infrastructure, build roads, and have a post office. Nimmo lies about wealth redistribution. For decades, wealth redistribution has benefited the super wealthy, corporations have record profits, the super wealthy pay record low taxes, and there is record income inequality worldwide (not just in America). Agent provocateurs may be at some Tea Party rallies, but many Tea Party people are funded by the Koch brothers and corporate leaders. Nimmo is slick since yes we longer live in a society equivalent to the antebellum South, but prison oppression against people, police brutality, discrimination, and white supremacy are still here in 2011. I don’t believe in hating or viewing another ethnic group, but I will defend my people against slander & oppression though. The Tea Party haven’t promoted a radical program at all to help poor Americans (like a minimum annual income, ending the war on terror, have tax breaks to built jobs in America, infrastructure development, investments in apprentices, etc.). Racist white people need to know that just believe black people unite and promote unity organizations doesn’t mean that this is racism. Racism is about the belief of inferior races not groups promoting the legitimate interests of black people. They have no real program to help the poor and they have the nerve to claim to be some savior for us the people. The global elite use liberal and conservative establishment puppets, but justice isn’t about austerity (but a radical change in our values and policies to benefit everybody in the socioeconomic classes like the poor).  Many Tea Party people in Congress have supported the Patriot Act. I have no problem with being against the policies of the FED, being against bank bailouts, the illegal wars, and corporate welfare. Yet, I don’t believe in depriving human beings basic human needs or human services.

The researcher Rady Ananda found that the weedkiller glyphosate for GM crops pollutes air, rain, and rivers across America. There are 2 new studies made by the U.S. Geological Survey. It proves that the spread of biocide, glyphosate mostly used as a weed killer for crops genetically engineered to resist it. It’s used in formulations by Monsanto, Bayer, Dow, and others. Glyphosate has according to many reports have been linked to evils. These evils are spontaneous abortions in livestock, birth defects in humans, inset resistance, and weed resistance. Regulators have known about these dangers for years according to Earth Open Source. In early August 2011, Dr. Mercola reported on this issue. The first report deal with the ambient levels of glyphosate and how its degradation product called AMPA (or aminomethylphosphonic acid) can damage the air and rain. Glyphosate is the most used herbicide in the U.S. There has been weekly air particle and rain samples were collected during two growing seasons in agricultural areas in Mississippi and Iowa. The amount of glyphosate detected ranged from 60 to 100 percent in both air and rain. Glyphosate is used in almost all agricultural and urban areas in America. The highest level of glyphosate have been used in the Mississippi River basin where most applications are weed control on genetically modified corn, soybeans, and cotton. Overall, agricultural use of glyphosate has increased from less than 11,000 tons in 1992 to more than 88,000 tons in 2007. Glyphosate is most widely used herbicide in the world. People don’t know about its long term effects to the environment according to Paul Capel. He is the USGS chemist and author of the study. The EPA, the USDA, and the FDA continue to permit our land, air, and waters to be polluted by this toxic agrochemical. Growing scientific evidence documents glyphosate lethality to the biosphere. Monsanto has been found guilty of falsely advertising its herbicide as biodegradable, environmentally friendly, and claimed that it left the soil clean. Even Roundup isn’t environmentally friends. Glyphosate should be banned in use in the environmental. Substances should work with nature not against it. The Mississippi Rice Council opposed the aerial drift of glyphosate. That can cause danger to certain plants. So the glyphosate not only weakens plants, it actually changes the makeup of the soil and boosts the number of disease-causing organisms, which is becoming a deadly recipe for crops around the globe. Glyphosate can deprive plants of nutrients necessary for healthy plant function. It can destroy needed soil organisms that can stop disease causing organisms and help plants absorb nutrients. It can weakened plant growth and harm photosynthesis. It reduces water efficiency, shortening root systems and causing plants to release sugars, which changes soil pH. It has been link to sudden death syndrome among plants as well.

There is a man facing life in jail for recording the police. There are cases where people arrested for filming the police have been thrown out of court. The media acts like recording the police is illegal. Michael Allison is the 41 year old Illinois mechanic that faces life in prison. He recorded the police after authorities hit him with eavesdropping charges based on the hoax that it is illegal to film cops, a misnomer that has been disproved by every other case against people filming people officers being thrown out of court. The state of Illinois is trying to charge Allison with five counts of wiretapping, each punishable by 4 to 15 years in prison. Allison refused a plea deal which would have seen him serve no jail time, but would reinforce the hoax that it is illegal to film police officers, as well, as acting as a chilling effect to prevent other Americans from filming cases of police brutality. Allison chosen to reject the plea bargain and he is fighting to clear his name via a jury trial. He said that: “…If we don’t fight for our freedoms here at home we’re all going to lose them.” The judge is expected to rule on when the case will go to trial over the next 2 weeks. There is another report in dealing with the Allison case documents. It shows that in every other example where people have been arrested for recording police officers, the charges have been dropped. Cases have been thrown out of court. In Allison’s case, the state is desperate to make an example out of Allison. That is why an assistant from the Attorney General’s Office was recently sent to speak against him during a hearing. The notion that it is illegal to film police officers is a mass hoax. Some people promulgating this hoax are the authorities, the media, and police officers themselves. Charges were even dismissed against a woman who filmed cops in her own back yard in Rochester, New York. In Illinois ironically, Tiawanda Moore’s eavesdropping charges for recording patrol officers were dropped. The criminal court jury soon repudiated the prosecution’s case. It took less than an hour to acquit Moore on both eavesdropping counts. The fact that recording police officers or public servants is legal, but some Americans are still being arrested for doing it. This is a violation of press freedom. Privacy rights of citizens are violated all of the time. Cases like Allison should be thrown out nationwide. The police can’t arrest police for filming. Repression of liberties is still a problem in America. First Amendment ought to be preserved in spite of recorded acts of police brutality. Allison is an innocent man and he doesn’t deserve life in prison at all.

Songhai is one of the most famous black African Empires in history. Leo Africanus of Spain visited Songhai back in the 1500’s. He wrote that the people of Songhai have a lot of wit, civility, and industry. Songhai developed into a powerful Kingdom by the 11^th century. The King in the Empire is called Askia. Many in this Empire converted to the religion of Islam. Mansa Musa of Mali temporarily conquered the Songhai kingdom in 1325, but they 1375, Songhai established its own fundamental issues. Askia Sonni Ali reigned from 1464 to 1494. He conquered the great Mali cities of Jenne and Timbuktu. This caused the Tuareg to move north of Mali. Askia Muhammad reigned from 1493 to 1528 increased the government’s central authority and expanded the kingdom westward to the Atlantic, eastward into central Sudan and northwest into the Saharan Desert. The Songhai Empire had a royal court created by Sonni Ali. Askia Muhammad developed governors, mayors, etc. over districts on the Niger Valley. Local rulers remained in power on the Niger River’s tributaries. The Askia or Kings in Songhai dealt with commander of the nations navy or hi koi, a minister of agriculture, a commissioner of waters plus lakes, a finance ministers, and other ministers. The central government once ruled over a small number of provinces. Sonni Ali was gifted to be an able ruler with a talent for organization and government. Greater centralization occurred under the devout Muslim Askia Muhammad (1493-1528). By 1591 the army totaled 40,000 (30,000 infantry, 10,000 cavalry). Songhay warriors wore iron breastplates beneath their battle tunics, had lances, sabers and arrows with poisoned tips, and the infantry used leather and copper shields. Songhai was a home of great educational systems as well. Timbuktu had 180 schools alone. The universities in Songhai taught theology, traditions, grammar, rhetoric, logic, astrology, astronomy, history, geography, medicine, science, and math. Askia Mohammed also created elementary schools for learning how to read and recite the Koran. S.M Cissoko wrote: "The Songahy state encouraged the flowering of a brilliant intellectual civilization and considerable economic and social development." (²⁸Chu, Daniel and Skinner, Elliot. A Glorious Age in Africa, 1st ed. Garden City, New York: Doubleday, 1965, 91). The Songhai Empire was a crowning achievement of black intellectual achievement, black governmental power, and great black culture in general.

Classmates Encouraged to Report Each Other to New Jersey Police

Under a new state law in New Jersey, lunch-line bullies in the East Hanover schools can be reported to the police by their classmates this fall through anonymous tips to the Crimestoppers hot line.
In Elizabeth, children, including kindergartners, will spend six class periods learning, among other things, the difference between telling and tattling.
And at North Hunterdon High School, students will be told that there is no such thing as an innocent bystander when it comes to bullying: if they see it, they have a responsibility to try to stop it.
But while many parents and educators welcome the efforts to curb bullying both on campus and online, some superintendents and school board members across New Jersey say the new law, which takes effect Sept. 1, reaches much too far, and complain that they have been given no additional resources to meet its mandates.
