Cynthia McKinney has made a career of speaking her mind and challenging authority. With her opinions, actions, and even her sense of style, McKinney has inspired both admiration and controversy. McKinney´s political career began unofficially in 1986 when her father, Georgia State Representative Billy McKinney, put her name on the ballot as a write-in. Cynthia McKinney was living in Jamaica at the time and did not take the matter seriously; still, she garnered a large percentage of votes without even trying. Two years later, McKinney ran for and won the seat, creating the first father/daughter combination to serve together in the Georgia State House of Representatives. Cynthia immediately began making her own mark, defying House dress codes for women by wearing trousers instead of dresses. She spoke out against the first Persian Gulf War, and despite being in the House with her father, she often disagreed and voted against him. In 1992, McKinney won a seat in the US House of Representatives in Georgia´s newly created 11th district. She was the first African-American woman to represent Georgia in the US Congress. McKinney became Secretary of her Democratic freshman class and was placed on both the Agricultural Committee and the International Relations Committee. Her gold tennis shoes and braided hairstyle became her trademarks, and effectively raised her profile on a House floor dominated by white men. Though a Democrat during President Clinton's tenure, McKinney voted against NAFTA, showing that she was not one to simply follow the Party line. McKinney worked hard in Washington to clean up pollution in her district and improve its rural roads. During her second term, McKinney earned distinctive committee assignments with the National Security Committee and the International Relations Committee's International Operations and Human Rights Subcommittee. A supporter of a Palestinian State in Israel-occupied territory, she sparked controversy by criticizing American policy in the Middle East. After the 9/11 attacks, McKinney suggested the President might have had prior knowledge of 9/11. The criticism she received from this highly controversial idea probably contributed to her defeat in the 2002 election; however, she ran for the seat again and was re-elected in 2004. Between terms in office, McKinney traveled the country and Europe, speaking against the war in Iraq war and also about her 2002 defeat, which she attributed to Republicans being organized to “cross over” to vote against her in the Democratic primaries. Her career, including this episode of her defeat, was made into a documentary film titled American Blackout. Once back in office, she continued her criticism of the Bush administration on the first anniversary of the 9/11 Commission Report by gathering victims' families and intelligence experts together on panels to address the flaws in the report and critique its recommendations regarding foreign and domestic policy. Believing the government should not keep secrets from the people, McKinney introduced legislation to release the documents related to the death of Tupac Shakur and twice submitted a bill to release the sealed documents pertaining to Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination. McKinney was very active in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and a vocal critic of the government's response. When Democratic Party leaders encouraged a boycott of a Select Bipartisan Committee to Investigate the Preparation for and Response to Hurricane Katrina, she chose to participate and submitted her own report on the matter. In 2007, McKinney left the Democratic Party to become a Presidential Candidate for the Green Party.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Beginning June 1, dairy producers and processors will see noticeable changes to the way milk is priced. After years of discussion and debate, finally the Federal Milk Marketing Orders have seen some revision. In Wisconsin, that could mean some lower prices initially. Leonard Polzin, UW-Extension Dairy Markets and Policy Outreach Specialist, has done all the modeling for the new orders. He says everything continues to focus on the value of fluid milk, but it also should protect Wisconsin dairy operators for big losses when other categories are in demand. Bob Bosold gets the breakdown.Memorial weekend may not be real warm in Wisconsin, but it should be dry. Stu Muck goes through the weekend forecast which still has a frost advisory out for much of northern Wisconsin.Thursday the Make America Healthy Again commission finally released their much anticipated report. Agriculture was quick to respond with overall disappointment. Chad Smith speaks with Sam Kieffer, vice president of public policy for the American Farm Bureau for reaction. Kieffer says any efforts to adjust the food system have to be based on science. Some people are looking forward to camping this Memorial weekend. Sheila Everhart, executive director of the Wisconsin Agricultural Tourism Association(WATA) tells Pam Jahnke that one of the most popular breaks for people is to "glamp". Basically that's a camping experience in a unique location - like a farm. In Wisconsin, however, that can come with permit expense and inspection. Everhart says WATA is working on changing language in state statutes that would allow farms to offer campsites for up to 3 locations without that requirement. Everhart says it's just a language change with no expense to tax payers, but the senator that's working on the bill says he wants at least 10 farmers to commit to testify for the change before he'll introduce it. Spring planting continues as weather allows. Matt Wagenson, grower and board member of the Wisconsin Soybean Marketing Board, gives Pam Jahnke a quick planting update from his tractor cab. Wagenson says they just concluded a consumer survey designed to find out both opinion and knowledge of what soybean growers do and provide to them product-wise. Wagenson tells Jahnke that older consumers generally still have confidence in farmers and the practices they use. Younger demographics however are less engaged, and have less knowledge about the unique products they use everyday that contain soy-based products.

The Commerce Commission and Auckland Airport's latest interactions are being seen as a sign regulation is working. Auckland Airport isn't lifting its airline charges for the next two years as much as intended, after the commission's report showed their targeted returns were too high. The report also found the airport's multi-billion dollar infrastructure investment plan is appropriate. CEO Carrie Hurihanganui told Mike Hosking they said last year that if the commission continued to see a difference between the returns they targeted and what they received, they would change it, and they did. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Auckland Airport is lowering its prices after the Commerce Commission said it was overcharging by $190 million. The Commission has today published its final report on Auckland Airport's 2022-2027 price setting event, concluding the Airport's forecast revenue is excessive and its targeted returns are unreasonably high. The Commission says businesses and consumers are the ones likely carrying much of this cost-burden. Last year Air New Zealand said the airport's charges were expected to add about $46 to the price of a domestic ticket by 2032. Last year the Commission issued a draft report suggesting prices were too high - and Auckland Airport said it would consider lowering them once the final report came through. Today, that report confirms the findings and as a result Auckland Airport said it would drop prices for the remaining two years of the price period. Commissioner Vhari McWha talks to Kathryn.

The Fall of DS Babylon (Audio) David Eells – 9/18/24 I told you I would try to share things with you if you would forsake being news junkies and seek the Lord for sanctification, which we have studied a lot lately. I pray you are ready for what's coming.  :0) I was told by the Lord to tell this story and that everything and everyone is covered by Him. (In Rev 12 the dragon and his angels are being cast down. I will share and make comments on some world affairs here.) Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of 17-18, Sept. 2024 …in part…  https://operationdisclosureofficial.com/2024/09/17/restored-republic-via-a-gcr-as-of-september-17-2024/ https://operationdisclosureofficial.com/2024/09/18/restored-republic-via-a-gcr-as-of-september-18-2024/ Now Is The Time (The angels and the Alliance are bringing down all of the DS elites plans. Trust The Plan Pray “The Enormity Of What Is Coming Will Shock The World” …President Donald Trump, Q+ And the angels are also using men because it is in the Word that Cyrus, a type of Trump, destroys DS Babylon. Right Now a Globally Coordinated Military Strike Designed to Obliterate the Globalist Power Structure is Bringing in the Greatest Transfer of Wealth in History Did you know that angels only fulfill His Word and only listen to the voice of the Lord? Psa 103:20  Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word. One man who dealt with angels asked a high ranking one if he commanded them. The angel said we only obey the voice of God. This is true. If the word of the Lord comes out of man's mouth they obey it as it was with Annanias and Sapphira. When our missionaries were being killed by the Jesuits and Jehovah Witnesses because their people were being converted, the man who was over the Jesuits contacted me. He said very hypocritically and irately that Your people are killing our people.  I said to him, “You have never seen one of our missionaries raise a weapon against any of you or even to defend themselves.” This seemed to stun him but it was true and he didn't argue the point. I said you only have a couple of choices here. Either the JW's are warring against you again or the angels of God are killing you. He couldn't take that the angels were killing them because that would make him and his religion evil. I knew the angels were defending the missionaries. I asked one of my angels what was happening.  He said when the Jesuit mob gets too close to hiding missionaries we drop them. I said are there any marks on them? He said, No, so I said, to this Jesuit leader “there is no physical marks on them that is the angels and they don't make mistakes or do evil”. They killed that evil man and the Jesuits made a mask of him and put it on a turncoat and they killed him too. And for you the listener today and your understanding, the angels do not live in time and they know every person who is chosen from the foundation of the world and do not harm them. Now I tell you it is the same with the DS and their leaders. Nobody can tell the angels to do anything that is against God's will. After warning DS leaders who then ignored them,, the angels have fed them to the sharks and given some their own monkeypox. For 53 years I have worked every day to save people from sin and that is my heart. I wait expectantly for the Soloman (peaceful) Man-child ministry to come when the peace is won by the David Man-child ministry. We are almost there. Watch Out For, Protect & Save the Children. S*****c Worshippers & Their Secretive Covens Exist Across the Globe Perhaps Even in Your Neighborhood & Right Next Door. Pray them down for they have plans to destroy Christianity. Tues. 17 Sept. 2024 “The Storm Is Here: Hidden Bunkers Raided, Children Rescued, and the Deep State Exposed” …Ben Fulford on Telegram The Deep State's grip on our nation is weakening as their secrets come to light. The truth, long concealed, is now emerging, and the powerful are scrambling to maintain control. Brave actions are peeling back the layers of deception, revealing the sinister operations that have kept the American people in the dark for too long. February 18, 2024: The Georgetown Raid: Tension filled the air in Georgetown, Washington, DC, as Unit X, a group of elite military personnel with trained Belgian Malinois, stormed a hidden bunker beneath the city's streets. Inside, they uncovered horrors orchestrated by the Deep State—47 children were rescued, and high-profile arrests followed, including a sitting congressman. The mainstream media remained silent, complicit in covering up this monumental event. Operation Eclipse Exposed: March 15, 2024 marked another victory against the Deep State. Leaked documents from a private intelligence firm in Langley, Virginia, exposed “Operation Eclipse,” a plan to fracture the nation through media manipulation and engineered social unrest. The Deep State aimed to bring America to its knees, paving the way for martial law. However, Trump's executive orders from 2020 thwarted this sinister plot just in time. FEMA Camps Revealed: On June 22, 2024, a whistleblower from the Department of Homeland Security risked everything to reveal that FEMA camps, supposedly for natural disasters, were being used as holding facilities for political dissidents and t********d children. Satellite imagery and intercepted communications confirmed these camps' existence in remote areas of Nevada and Montana, exposing the Deep State's depravity. The Silicon Valley “S*****e”: August 8, 2024, saw the mysterious death of a tech billionaire in his Silicon Valley mansion. The official story—s*****e—was a lie. This billionaire, a key financial architect of the Deep State, had been funding operations to undermine Trump's efforts to drain the swamp. Unit X had been monitoring him, and when they struck, they ensured he could no longer threaten the nation. This was not a s*****e but an execution in the war against those who seek to destroy America. The Banksters Exposed Fast forward to September 8, 2024. The pace is accelerating. Switzerland—long a safe haven for the cabal's dirty money—is under siege. The Swiss National Bank has been exposed as a laundering operation for the Rothschilds, CIA, and Mossad. Billions have flowed through these accounts, funding bioweapons research and secret space operations. The Great Awakening is in full swing. Leaks are flooding the internet, exposing Swiss banks as the heartbeat of the devil's operation. They've manipulated currencies, hoarded gold, and funded wars they claimed to mediate. But the reckoning is here. The White Hats and Q Ops, with the Space Force, have intercepted more than just financial transactions. They have the blackmail archives—the files that kept politicians, CEOs, and Hollywood stars in line. These are the secrets that have protected the cabal's sick agenda for too long. Epstein was only the beginning. His island was the hub for t*********g and a***e, but now, Trump's knowledge of these operations is a weapon against the elite. The mainstream media won't tell you this, but Trump's Sovereign Wealth Fund is the declaration of war against the Rothschild's debt-slavery system. The Federal Reserve is crumbling. $3 trillion in hidden reserves have been uncovered. These funds, stolen from the American people, were used to fund global chaos—from fake pandemics to weather manipulation. Yes, they've been playing God with storms, controlling droughts and earthquakes to instill fear and control. The Deep State's Final Struggle: The Deep State is in full retreat, but the battle is far from over. Every day, new revelations expose the extent of their crimes and influence. The fight for the soul of America is entering its most critical phase. The deep state's reach extends into every facet of society—government, media, corporations, and institutions once trusted to protect us. They have manipulated and controlled us through fear and division for years, but 2024 marks the turning point. The Tide Is Turning: The Storm is here, and the Deep State is running scared. They are not invincible, and the tide is turning. The hunters have become the hunted. Every action they take is monitored, every plot countered, and every secret exposed. The deep state's time is running out, and the final, decisive blow is coming. NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has just blown the lid off a terrifying agenda hidden deep in Alaska. Documents reveal that HAARP, which they claimed was about “scientific research,” is in reality a weapon designed to control and manipulate humanity on a global scale. HAARP's Dark Purpose: For years, the military has disguised HAARP as a research station, keeping its true mission hidden from the public. According to Snowden's leaks, HAARP is no innocent experiment—it's a weapon of mass manipulation, targeting people's brains, causing what seem like natural deaths—strokes, heart attacks. This is more than a conspiracy theory. It's happening now, right under our noses. Mind Control at an Unimaginable Level: Snowden revealed that HAARP can remotely control the minds of those who speak out, turning people into irrational, “crazy” individuals in the eyes of the world. Their goal? Silencing dissenters, using these frequency waves to make their opposition crumble from within. Think about it—the world leaders, media moguls, and CEOs you see on TV are just puppets, controlled through advanced technology. Ever wonder why some of the most powerful voices for truth go silent overnight? The Smoking Gun – Proof of HAARP's Control: These documents aren't just hearsay. Snowden shared secret emails from top military officials confirming the horrific truth behind HAARP's operations. This is no longer speculation—it's fact. You're either awake or you're being played. They want you docile, blind, and submissive, all while the elite pull the strings behind the scenes. HAARP's Reach – More Than Just Alaska: It's not just Alaska. There are multiple HAARP facilities worldwide. In Sweden, Russia, even beneath the cover of cell towers right here at home. They've built a global network to keep their control tight.  WARNING!!! At This Very Moment in New York UN Global Elites Were Positioning Themselves To Completely Control People of the World via Passage of the Global Digital Compact, or the Illuminati's Great Reset (Pray this down) Meanwhile… On Monday Trump Announced the Launch of World Liberty Financial Crypto Exchange, the Apparent Precursor to 130 Sovereign Countries' Gold/Asset-Backed Global Currency Reset Which Ensured The People Would Have Complete Control Over Their Own Monies & Provided Freedom From Debt For All …. Checkmate!!! Judy Note: We're sitting on the edge of a Global Blackout and Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) Activation, where normal communication will cease for ten days. It's called Operation Stormbreaker – the greatest Sting Operation ever. Military Units have been mobilizing Worldwide for a coordinated military strike to obliterate the Globalist Power Structure. “It's only wise to have at least a month's supply of food, water, cash, medicine and essential items on hand for yourself, your family and to share with others in case of emergency.” Judy Note: Right now the 79th U.N. General Assembly was meeting in New York to consider putting their stamp of approval on a document called the Global Digital Compact. If passed, the Compact would give the U.N. Secretary-General totalitarian control over all people across the Globe, overriding governments and trampling individual freedoms. (I believe Our annulling of this will last till mid trib.) A non-elected Deep State UN official could demand every person on the planet implant digital IDs and vaccine passports on their person for the sole purpose of Deep State surveillance. Worse, the tattooed ID some define as the Mark of Cain, would give those Globalists control over individual bank accounts, and lives. Without compliance, you would be nothing—unable to work, unable to live. Sound familiar? This will not happen now but mid-trib  The UN Deep State Cabal would have the power to declare at their will, global emergencies, lockdowns and travel restrictions. – a perfect plan for implementation of the Illuminati's New World Order. The Global Military Alliance does have it all. They have overtaken the Z******s and Elites who pull the strings of the World —those at the very top had fallen: the 13 Illuminati families, Vatican, Royal Families, Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Gates, Obama, Clintons – were under White Hat control even if they, or their clones, or perhaps actors behind sophisticated masks, still paraded around in public like nothing happened. As head of the Global Military Alliance President Trump has either replaced or had control over them all. He's the true ruler now, and not just of America, but over the entire world. Like Trump, President Kennedy knew all about the CIA Child S*x T*********g Ring Operations and the Deep State Military using s*x operations to blackmail politicians, that then controlled health, education, Mainstream Media, music and film industries, along with foreign government officials who were connected to Money Laundering Operations and the Global Financial System. That's why this Deep State Cabal assassinated Lincoln, and tried to assassinate JFK, Trump and others because these Patriots  were trying to give taxpayer monies back to The People. It was why the Q Movement was formed and now operating at full speed That bubble was set to burst on Wed. 20 Nov. 2024 with the start of Nuremberg Trials 2.0 which were bound to reveal all. Pray down the new plagues Another bubble was popping across the Globe by way of more planned epidemics. On Tues. 17 Sept. 2024 in what appeared to be very strange coincidences, a new C***d strain known as “XEC” was announced as rapidly spreading across Europe.

Despite his firsthand account, his testimony was never included in the 9/11 Commission Report. Trump's golf outing was a last minute decision. Yet, Routh was already hiding in the bushes, waiting for Trump to walk by on the golf course with his GoPro camera set up for the “perfect shot.” How did this well trained killer make it that far by himself and how did he know where Trump would be? How did Routh know Trump would be out golfing at that exact time and at that exact place on the golf course? I was told by the Lord when I asked this same question, “Laura Loomer” and the angels gave her to the Alliance. This is a deep state very sexy plant who travels by plane everywhere the Rally Trump goes and knows his plans. The real Trump is safe and faithful to his wife. Why did Democrat Left leaning Time Magazine on 9/11 come out with a cover that had a picture of Trump in a Golf Cart going down a sand hole with the word “Trouble” to the side of him? They were told by the DS their plan, Why did Democrat Left leaning CNN now come out to say that the shots WERE in fact, directed at Trump after they originally reported that this was an isolated incident and Trump wasn't in danger. Oops the truth got out, had to cover themselves. Why did both of Trump's assailants appear in a Deep State Cabal BlackRock ad prior to their assassination attempts? Apparently, several Secret Service agents returned fire at both of the recent Trump Assassination Attempts shooters. All of them then fled, and were apprehended or k****d shortly after. The fact that the FBI, Homeland Security, US Secret Service and or local Police allowed two or more people with AK-47s in an active firefight anywhere close to where Trump was speaking or golfing was very alarming to say the least. Golfing opens up too much unwatched territory for shooters. I'm only an outside observer, but with Trump head of the Global Military Alliance which was arresting thousands of corrupt Deep State Globalists, it's pretty obvious to me that the two recent Trump Assassination Attempts were Homeland Security- FBI-Biden Administration Inside Jobs. But of course, those were the very agencies that held the power and were required to “investigate” the incidents, so why should we worry? Don't worry, act and speak faith! And, why should we worry that the U.N. was positioning itself to be the center of Global control with undefined powers? After all, only our Freedoms were at stake. The Lord is sovereign over the beast. Let Him speak through you “Trust The Plan. Pray: Sunday's second Trump Assassination Attempt was believed to be a Homeland Security-FBI Inside Job – which brings us closer to the Big Bang Three Day Event. We are just waiting for the Green Light for Starlink to send an Emergency Broadcast Alert to all cell phones worldwide. As corrupt governments fall and Mass Arrests are made, a Ten Day Communications Blackout Event will bring in the new Quantum Financial System and GCR, NESARA/ GESARA implementation. After which will arise the unbelievably fast Quantum Internet with secure bank accounts and transparent Quantum Voting that restore Freedom and Democracy, along with Trumpsara for lean and efficient governments manned by honest Patriots and free Med Bed treatments that create healthy and free societies worldwide.” … The 17th Letter (JFK Jr.) on Telegram Mon. 16 Sept. 2024 McAfee Software has been used by the Global Military Alliance to infiltrate the inner sanctums of governmental bodies, elite individuals and global military entities. It serves as a covert operative revealing a labyrinth of corruption, concealed agendas, human t*********g, planned military coups, and international money laundering operations.

Judy Byington: Sunday's Second Trump Assassination Attempt Believed To Be A Homeland Security-FBI Inside Job! Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Mon. 16 Sept. 2024 – amg-news.com – American Media Group As of today, September 17, 2024, military transports have been spotted landing at Nellis Air Force Base and Fort Bragg. Insiders report this is Phase One of a larger operation targeting key deep state strongholds in Washington, D.C., New York, Los Angeles, and beyond. The Pentagon is done waiting for compromised bureaucrats. Orders are coming directly from a clandestine command center deep within Cheyenne Mountain. And it's not just the U.S.—forces overseas are joining the fight. Bases in Germany and Italy are preparing for joint operations with loyal NATO factions. The global purge is about to begin. The elites are panicking. Private jets have been tracked flying into remote hideouts—they're running scared. CEOs are stepping down, politicians are “retiring,” but there's no escape. The storm is here, and it will show no mercy. Possible Timing: Mon. 16 Sept. 2024 John F. Kennedy Jr. (The vice-President) on Telegram: In one week everything will change. The channels everyone has been waiting for will publish devastating information that is kept secret from the public. A big scandal happened this week, so we have it all. Donald Trump has promised. Sat. 14 Sept. 2024 On EBS Activation …Q Trump on Telegram: Absolutely no time frame has been given for EBS Activation. No one knows when it will happen, other than it will occur at the top of the hour. It was designed this way for a reason. When it happens you are to follow EBS instructions to the letter. Be ready for 3-6 weeks where everyone will be home. There is no reason to panic as everything has been factored in. Sun. 15 Sept. 2024 EBS: The Moment We've Been Waiting For …John F. Kennedy Jr. on Telegram U.S. Military Alert: All military forces worldwide are preparing to suspend all media, internet, phone, and TV services. Emergency services will stay active, but everything else is about to go dark. During this time, no internet, no ATMs, and phones only working for 911 calls. This is the Global Martial Law we've been talking about, and it comes with a 10-day communication blackout. (It's been said Signal will be operational. I read the grid may be sabotaged. If so an adapter to charge your phone from the cigarette lighter in your car is cheap; maybe $3. Also Tesla Free Energy may go up.) But here's the kicker: the Emergency Broadcast System will be activated worldwide. Nonstop, 24/7, 8-hour documentaries exposing the darkest secrets of the elite—fraud, corruption, pedophilia, and their arrests—will play three times a day. The truth will be unleashed. The military is taking down Cabal-controlled governments worldwide, executing mass arrests based on 500,000 sealed indictments. This is the moment we've been fighting for.

But don't be fooled by the so-called “peace.” This is no ordinary treaty. It's a trap for the enemy. They surrendered a long time ago, but it hasn't been announced. Why? Because we are in the final stages of a secret war. Yes, it might look like Trump is working with Z*****t enemies in Israel, but the truth is the Global Alliance has already overtaken them. The elites pulling the strings—those at the very top—have already fallen. The Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, Gates, they are all under control now, even if they still parade around in public like nothing happened. Trump isn't collaborating with them—he's replaced them. He's the true ruler now, and not just of America, but over the entire world. He took down the puppet masters and claimed the throne. The Z******s and their lackeys have no choice but to obey. The king has returned! The light is coming! But remember, this is a game of strategy. In war, you don't reveal your hand until it's time for the final blow. Right now, Trump is holding all the cards. You need to hold the line, keep your poker face. The storm hasn't passed—it's building. In the end, we'll see who really won.

Honoring the Memory While Embracing the Present Today marks the 23rd anniversary of the tragic events of September 11, 2001. As we remember the bravery and loss experienced that day, it's essential to acknowledge how it reshaped our lives and perspectives. Today, The Patrick Madrid Show reflects on the enduring impact of 9/11 through heartfelt personal accounts and solemn remembrances. Here are three key takeaways from this deeply moving episode: Resilience in the Face of Fear: Multiple callers spoke about the immediate fear that followed the attacks, yet highlighted the strength they found in their faith, family, and community. The Value of Remembrance: Guests emphasized that remembering 9/11 isn't about lingering in sadness but honoring the victims and ensuring such events are never forgotten—paralleling how other historical tragedies are commemorated to educate and unite us. Embracing the Present: Reflective stories shared by callers revealed a newfound appreciation for daily life and family. Many adopted practices of regularly expressing love and gratitude, understanding the fragility and preciousness of each moment. Join us in remembering and reflecting.

From impossible flight physics to a “lucky” hijacker passport discovery, host Faust Checho demolishes the official 9/11 narrative on episode 153 of the Far Out with Faust podcast. In Part 1 of this 2-part series, Faust explores evidence that the mainstream media never told you about what really happened on 9/11 — and exposes flaws in the story concocted by the 9/11 Commission. Topics include:-Was the 9/11 Commission Report a lie?-Did the Deep State plan the Sept. 11 attacks as a “new Pearl Harbor”?-Why did US government officials lie about not receiving intelligence warnings prior to 9/11?-What military exercises was NORAD doing on the morning of September 11, 2001?-How does Operation Northwoods tie into the 9/11 attacks?-Could hijacked commercial aircraft withstand the speed and pressure that was captured by air traffic control on 9/11?-Were the hijackers experienced enough to execute the complex maneuvers required to carry out the 9/11 plane attacks?-What suspicious items did the FBI find in Mohammed Atta's luggage?-Are the flight manifests released by the government and the media real?-Why don't we have adequate surveillance of the 9/11 jijackers from inside the airports?-Where's the proof that the 9/11 hijackers boarded the doomed flights?-What happened to the debris from Flight 93 that crashed in Shanksville PA?-Could jet fuel really bring down a steel skyscraper?-Why did the fires at Ground Zero burn for three months?-Did someone plant explosives like nanothermite to bring down the Twin Towers?-Does the 9/11 wreckage in NYC show evidence that a directed energy weapon was used?…and so much more!Stay tuned for Part 2, when Faust dives deeper into how this tragic false flag event was orchestrated — and exactly who might have been behind it.Check out our Believers vs. Skeptics episode on The Truth About 9/11, where believer Faust and skeptic Nick go head to head on one of the most hotly-debated topics in history:https://youtu.be/K75nWmY-Kz0#September11 #Podcast #UShistory

What is DoD's Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) system, and how does it succeed and fail to direct resources to the correct programs and projects to ensure that the best-performing capabilities are quickly and affordably delivered to the warfighter? The Legislative Commission on Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) Reform recently published its final report on this topic, proposing sweeping reforms to the process. The Commission, created by the FY22 National Defense Authorization Act, released a suite of recommendations that would change every aspect of PPBE from the way that national strategies are translated into DoD plans, the lines of communication between Congress and DoD, and the actual methods of managing the Department's finances.

For those of you watching the mass killings in Gaza (nearly 14,000 dead in seven weeks, over 2/3 of them women and children) you might find it helpful to think back to an earlier time when Israel was once again implicated in a mass killing.  This was what happened in September, 1982 during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon.  The Israelis are quick to point out that they did not themseslves do the killing, but neither were they free of  responsibility.  This podcast has two purposes:  to describe what happened in those terrible three days, and to tell you what the Israeli Kahan Commission subsequently concluded.  It is very clear that there will be a post-war commission to study why the Israeli security system failed to detect the extensive planning for this attack.  What is less clear is whether there will be an Israeli commission to study the response.  We can be certain that international bodies will conduct such investigations. Notice:  This is not easy listening.  (Below is my original introduction) In September, 1982, during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon,  the Israeli army took control  of West Beirut and the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Chatillah.  Bashir Gemayel, the leader of the Phalangist movement (Kataeb in Arabic), had just been assassinated.  He had supported the Israelis in their invasion, hoping to free his land of the PLO and of Syrian domination.  The individual convicted of the assassination was a Christian.  He claimed he had acted because of Gemayel's support of Israel.  Many people think Syria was behind the attack. Gemayel's followers were bent on revenge.  The visible target was the Palestinian refugee camps.  The PLO forces had been evacuated to Tunis by an American-brokered agreement.  Part of that agreement was that the U. S. agreed to protect the Palestinian civilians who would be left without security.  President Reagan's personal representative, Ambassador Phillip Habib, had negotiated the withdrawal of Palestinian forces and had guaranteed the security of the civilian refugees left behind in the camps.  But there was extremely bad blood between the Phalangists and the PLO and this was an opportunity to get revenge for past offenses.  The Israelis controlled access to those camps and allowed military units to enter.  The killing went on for three days.   There was a story in the Jerusalem Post as the massacres were going on.  The sun was setting and a  military rabbi was leading an outdoor religious service.  There were sounds of shooting and screams in the distance.  The Jerusalem Post said this will go down in history as the “Rosh Hashana of Shame.” Under domestic and international (i.e., U.S.) pressure, the Israelis set up a three-person commission headed by a very respected member of their high court, Justice Kahan.  This is the story of that report. There are two award-winning films that might be of interest.  One is an Israeli film called Waltz With Bashir, a graphic-novel type film.  An officer is having nightmares of wild dogs.  He starts talking to others in his unit.  They are also having nightmares.  It turns out they were all present during the massacres but they have suppressed what happened on their watch.  The other film is The Insult, a Lebanese film.  It starts with a simple confrontation between two men in which one calls the other a name. This happens many times every day without consequence so why does this incident escalate?  It turns out the two parties are connected personally to these massacres. Even though this is decades later, the wounds are still there.  People:  Bashir Gemayel, Amin Gemayel, Raphael Eitan, Shimon Peres, Menachem Begin

The Wildfire Mitigation and Management Commission, established in 2022 at the behest of Congress following the 2021 Infrastructure Act, recently released a substantial report highlighting recommendations that will shape the future of wildfire policy and action in the US. Fifty commission members were charged with creating the recommendations, one of which was Kelly Martin—who is a founding member of the Grassroots Wildland Firefighter organization and a longtime wildland firefighter. We had the chance to chat with Kelly about the commission, and she was able to provide us a glimpse into the process and efforts behind their whopping 340-page report. We spoke explicitly about how the recommendations relate to wildland firefighters, as well as what Kelly was able to bring to the commission with her extensive background working in wildland fire operations.We're hoping to release a few more episodes about the commission report, which will focus on other recommendations and themes—including community resilience/adaptation, Indigenous burning and scaling up projects that reduce wildfire risk. Stay tuned!Kelly is an outspoke advocate for wildland firefighters through her work at Grassroots Wildland Firefighters, which you should definitely check out if you haven't already. This episode is brought to you by Mystery Ranch, which makes the best fire pack in the business--we will die on this hill! If you're looking for a fire pack (or a backpacking pack, or a briefcase, or a hunting pack, or a...well you get it), then Mystery Ranch is the place to go. You'll probably never have to buy a pack again!

After four years, 32 public hearings, 8,000 submissions, and almost 10,000 people sharing their experience, the Disability Royal Commission has handed its final report to the federal government. Throughout the investigation, the commission heard horror stories of abuse, neglect, coercion, unscrupulous NDIS providers, and severe underpayment of workers with disability. With more than 200 recommendations, the government has an enormous task ahead of it to improve the lives of Australians with disability. This podcast pinpoints some of the most important recommendations, and identifies where the government should start. The report release coincides with the launch of Grattan Institute's Disability Program, supported by the Summer Foundation. Grattan's podcast host Kat Clay is joined by our Disability Program Director, Sam Bennett, and researcher Hannah Orban.

Bandar Bush Plus 911 UpdatesThe Ochelli Effect 8-16-2023 Jon GoldNotes Fron JonA good friend of the Bush family helped to finance 9/11, and was in contact with "Omar al Bayoumi, a Saudi agent who assisted two of the hijackers upon their arrival in the U.S." Omar reported "directly to Saudi Ambassador Prince Bandar in Washington leading up to the attacks."That good friend, and Prince Bandar are one and the same.From Jacobinhttps://jacobin.com/2022/03/911-revelations-saudi-arabia-al-bayoumi-bandar-bush/"Despite all this, and even though FBI agents had reason to believe he was a Saudi spy — something only revealed in 2016 upon declassification of twenty-eight pages of the 9/11 Commission Report that former president George W. Bush had ordered be kept secret — US authorities exonerated him. The report ultimately concluded there was “no credible evidence” that al-Bayoumi “knowingly aided extremist groups,” while the bureau decided in 2004 that he had no “advance knowledge of the terrorist attack” nor that the two hijackers-to-be were members of al-Qaeda.This latest release makes those claims a lot less tenable. According to an FBI communiqué dated to June 2017, from the late 1990s to September 11, 2001, al-Bayoumi “was paid a monthly stipend as a cooptee of the Saudi General Intelligence Presidency (GIP),” the country's principal spy agency. The document notes that while his involvement with Saudi intelligence wasn't confirmed at the time of the 9/11 Commission Report, the bureau has now confirmed it. In a separate 2017 document, bureau officials judge that “there is a 50/50 chance [al-Bayoumi] had advanced knowledge the 9/11 attacks were to occur.”[...]"More than that, the report directly implicates a member of the Saudi royal family and government. Al-Bayoumi's monthly stipend was paid “via then ambassador [to the United States] Prince Bandar bin Sultan Alsaud,” it states, and any information al-Bayoumi collected on “persons of interest in the Saudi community in Los Angeles and San Diego and other issues, which met certain GIP intelligence requirements, would be forwarded to Bandar,” who would “then inform the GIP of items of interest to the GIP for further investigation/vetting or follow up.”'https://wewereliedtoabout911.substack.com/p/a-damned-good-question-tribute-to?fbclid=IwAR0VJzo2CMTrz5bO1mUviC78jT5mfqLkrH9yEreDo8SWfUJLqq_YO2rbTBQ"I was listening to my interview with Paul Thompson (which by the way is priceless), and we talked about the "flip theory" concerning the two alleged hijackers in San Diego put forward by Richard Clarke. The idea was so they would have operatives inside of "Al-Qaeda." I don't agree with it. What I know is that the CIA was protecting two of the alleged hijackers, and that's reason enough for people to be held accountable, and for truths to be told."[...]So I was thinking, if Prince Bandar helps to finance "Al-Qaeda" and 9/11, then that technically makes him a member of "Al-Qaeda." I can't think of a better plant to get inside of "Al-Qaeda." He was good friends with George Tenet, then the Director of the CIA. George used to go to his house, swim in his pool, and go on drunken tirades. I'm sure they spoke about A LOT of things. Prince Bandar was GOOD FRIENDS with the Bush Family. So close, he was referred to as "Bandar Bush."On March 15th 2001, George Bush was meeting with Prince Bandar, one of the financiers of "Al-Qaeda" and 9/11, and talked about Iraq. He said "if there is any military action, then it has to be decisive. That can finalize the issue," and that "the Iraqi opposition is useless and not effective." Months before the pretext (9/11) that enabled the Bush Administration to go into Iraq. One day Dick Cheney invites Prince Bandar to his West Wing Office. Donald Rumsfeld, and General Myers are present. Myers brought "a top-secret map of the war plan. And it says, 'Top secret. No foreign.' No foreign means no foreigners are supposed to see this." "They describe in detail the war plan for Bandar. And so Bandar, who's skeptical because he knows in the first Gulf War we didn't get Saddam out, so he says to Cheney and Rumsfeld, 'So Saddam this time is gonna be out, period?' And Cheney - who has said nothing - says the following: 'Prince Bandar, once we start, Saddam is toast.'"Because of the fact that the President of the United States was talking about the need for "decisive" military action in Iraq with one of the financiers of "Al-Qaeda" and 9/11, because Prince Bandar also wanted war with Iraq, and because 9/11 was the pretext that enabled the Bush Administration to go into Iraq, that brings up the question of whether or not there was a collaboration between the Bush Administration and Prince Bandar to bring about the 9/11 attacks. It's not a "theory." It's a DAMNED GOOD QUESTION.After all, 10 days after his inauguration at his very first principals meeting, Bush asked his subordinates to "go find me a way" to get into Iraq. One of the FIRST things the Bush Administration did was tell the different alphabet agencies to "BACK OFF" the Saudis and the Bin Ladens, an action that Senator Bob Graham said if true, would be a "very serious charge." It sure seems to be because the famous John O'Neill complained about it. Not to mention the "Visa Express Program" that was implemented before 9/11 which ONLYapplied to Saudi Arabia, and which some of the alleged hijackers took advantage of. Also, according to Richard Clarke, in the months before 9/11, members of the Bush Administration discussed creating a "cassus belli" for war with Iraq. When I asked Richard Clarke on Facebook his opinion on whether or not people in the Bush Administration were capable of such a thing, he said "some of them were." When 9/11 Commissioner John Lehman asked George Bush about Bandar and 9/11, he "dodged the questions," and then went outside and told the world that he "answered every question" they asked. When the 9/11 Commission questioned Bandar, they didn't even bother to ask him about his connections, financial or otherwise, to 9/11.Jacobin recently came out with this article that talks about even more incriminating information concerning Prince Bandar. In it, they cite Thomas Kean. I am FURIOUS that Kean has the gall to feign anger. As if he didn't know about the 9/11 Commission not asking Prince Bandar the tough questions or Bush dodging questions about Bandar.Anyway, I don't believe in the "flip theory." On top of that, I've shown that we had access to one of the most important insiders of "Al-Qaeda" so why the need to "flip" those two hijackers at all (I'm saying that with a sly, angry smile across my face)?Prince Bandar even admitted that Saudi intelligence was "actively following most of the terrorists with precision."He says that "U.S. Security Authorities" never "engaged their Saudi Counterparts in a serious and credible manner" and that's why 9/11 happened, but I wonder if he "engaged" members of the Bush Administration. After all, if you wanted a terrorist attack to take place, Prince Bandar WOULD be the guy to go to. Remember he threatened London with terrorist attacks "unless corruption investigations into their arms deals were halted." Former FBI Director Louis Freeh was his lawyer at the time. He also sent in terrorists into Syria to try and take out Assad. Because this is the anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, I posted that "they're (those responsible) being invited on "Ellen" to promote their book, they're getting apologies from Keith Olbermann. Their history is being rewritten so as to put them on a pedestal instead of the Hague where they belong."Hell yes they do.By the way, isn't it a disgrace that Prince Bandar's daughter is now the Saudi Ambassador to the United States?Also, FOR SOME REASON, Bandar refuses to testify in the lawsuit brought on by the 9/11 Families against Saudi Arabia.This was recently reported on. I don't have a problem with the idea that the CIA and Saudi Arabia were “secretly working hand in glove.” I have a problem with the idea that it was “to recruit Hazmi and Mihdhar as informants.” As I showed above, the Bush Administration already had the PERFECT INSIDER INTO AL-QAEDA. It doesn't get any better than Bandar. Especially when you consider the recent news that Omar al-Bayoumi, someone who helped the alleged hijackers, “reported directly to the longtime Saudi ambassador to the United States (Prince Bandar), a close and long-standing family friend of the US president“ George W. Bush.Something not being reported on by anyone that I can see, on August 3rd, 2011, George Tenet, Cofer Black, and Richard Blee all released a statement that said “Mr. Clarke went on to speculate--which he admits is based on nothing other than his imagination--that the CIA might have been trying to recruit these two future hijackers as agents. This, like much of what Mr. Clarke said in his interview, is utterly without foundation.“Their statement was the result of work done by Ray Nowosielski and John Duffy.As well as my “Damned Good Question” many other questions need to be answered. The families and the people of the world both deserve and require it.Jon's Websitehttps://wewereliedtoabout911.com/(Note From Chuck) Ochelli Link Treehttps://linktr.ee/chuckochelliAbove is the Ochelli Link Tree.

The Radical Islamist terror attack of 9/11 could have been even worse! New evidence has been uncovered that Osama Bin Laden's plans for Al Qaeda may have actually involved as many as 10 planes being hijacked by terrorists to crash into more targets like the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the White House or the Capitol. In a new documentary, entitled “TMZ Investigates 9/11: The Story of the 5th Plane,” the mystery of one of these extra planes - United Flight 23 - is revealed - as well as the twists of fate that kept it out of the skies. In this episode of The Terrorist Therapist Show, you will hear what the flight attendants and pilots had to say about the suspicious people and happenings they experienced when they got on United Flight 23 the morning of September 11th. These included: only four people in 1st class - all Arabmales, demanding takeoff, one disguised as a woman in a burka, another who insisted on seeing the cockpit; hatch doors in the floor that opened though everyone had left the plane; the discovery of box cutters in seat backs; and more. You will not read about the mysteries of United Flight 23 in the 9/11 Commission Report or in any other official document. You can shrug it off, or be very grateful that JFKAirport was crowded that morning, so that, after the secondplane hit the Twin Towers, all planes were grounded before United Flight 23 could take off….
