Source: The Free Thought Project The whole truth about the Reichstag fire will probably never be known. Nearly all those who knew it are now dead, most of them slain by Hitler in the months that followed.~ Historian William Shirer, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (Support Free Thought) - On Frbruary 27th, 86 years ago, the headquarters for the German parliament, known as the Reichstag building, was burned down due to arson. Immediately after the fires, the Nazis passed a piece of tyrannical legislation called the “decree for the protection of state and people,” which gave them total police state control over the population. The fires were blamed on Hitler’s ...

Dave Davies Didn’t Think ‘You Really Got Me’ Amp Stunt Would Work

The Kinks guitarist Dave Davies recalled the celebrated moment a slashed-open speaker cone created the iconic distorted sound for “You Really Got Me” – and admitted he didn't expect it to work.The 1964 track is credited with having inspired the distortion effects that led to the development of hard rock and metal music. Even though Dave and his brother Ray Davies have continually disagreed over who actually performed surgery on the amplifier, Dave shared his personal memory with Uncle Joe Benson on the Ultimate Classic Rock Nights radio show.“I think it was like a six-inch speaker,” he said. “It was quite small, in a very small amp, and it had a couple ...
Conscription Equals Slavery: My Time in the Army

It was a stressful evening sitting in front of the television set on August 5, 1971 with my parents, brother, and sister. It was very quiet and the mood was somber, as my family worried about my fate. The horrible program looked more like a bingo game show than what it actually was; a possible two year sentence of slavery to the state during the Vietnam War. If chosen in this lottery, I was to be drafted into the Army. Irony at this dark level is like a macabre nightmare, especially for the young and naïve. If my number were drawn early, I would be ordered to report for “duty” the following spring. We were huddled together with fingers crossed, anxious in hopes of being there ...
Terry Kath - The little-known rock guitarist who was 'better' than Jimi Hendrix

(CNN)One night backstage at Los Angeles' legendary Whisky a Go Go in the late 1960s, a young Midwestern saxophone player named Walt Parazaider felt a tap on his shoulder after performing with his newly formed band, Chicago Transit Authority."It was Jimi Hendrix," Parazaider remembered, smiling. Hendrix, already well known at the time as a guitar wizard, had just watched the band's set. "Walt, the horns are like one set of lungs," Parazaider said Hendrix told him. "And your guitar player is better than me."That guitarist, Terry Kath, went on to be hailed by many as one of rock's greatest -- a "forgotten guitar god" who was "criminally ...
Did Aliens Really Build The Pyramids?

The Great Pyramid of Gaza is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was old when almost every other culture of the world was young. It’s the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing. Many a historian has often asked in the words of visionary poet William Blake, “What immortal hand or eye dared frame thy fearful symmetry.” And until now the answer has always been the same – nobody really knows. However, according to a self-styled intergalactic medium, the answer was staring us in the face all these centuries and it comes in the shape of extraterrestrial beings. In other words, she claims aliens built the pyramids. The Daily Express ...
The 100th Anniversary of the Ratification of the Amendment That Led to Prohibition Is a Reminder of the Lasting Damage Bad Policy Can Do

One hundred years ago yesterday, Nebraska became the 36th state to ratify the 18th amendment, which set Prohibition in motion a year later. Prohibition is widely, and rightly, remembered as one of the 20th century's greatest policy mistakes, and it contains more than a few lessons that remain relevant today. The decision by the states and the federal government to outlaw the manufacture, sale, and transportation of most alcohol in the United States was born of racism, nativism, government paternalism, and moralizing religiosity. As Harvard's Lisa McGirr writes in today's New York Times, Prohibition was fueled by white protestant disdain for urban immigrants and the saloons they ...

By Peter A. Kirby Who is behind putting hundreds, perhaps thousands of large jet aircraft in the sky that routinely dump megatons of toxic waste over us and our biosphere? We know it is happening. Emissions from jet aircraft that visibly stretch from horizon-to-horizon and spread out as they persist for hours obviously consist of particulate matter. We see these things regularly in all the industrialized countries of the world. Many rainwater sample test results routinely show highly anomalous levels of many different toxins including aluminum, barium, and strontium. The California Air Resources Board has found alarmingly high levels of aluminum and barium in the air that we breathe. ...
Karl Marx & the Great Socialist Revival

by James Bovard January 9, 2019 Socialism’s popularity is reviving in America. Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez captured a seat in the new Congress and is calling for confiscatory tax rates at the same time Democratic Socialist candidates are thriving in many areas of the nation. The Washington Post reported in July that it’s “been a good summer for the Democratic Socialists of America,” who have “never had more adherents or more clout.” The Democratic Socialists of America openly calls for the abolition of capitalism. It would be gratifying to Karl Marx, born 200 years ago in Trier, Germany. In a New York Times tribute headlined, “Happy Birthday, Karl ...

Had John Lennon lived, would he be a right-wing pundit by now?Lennon's final personal assistant Fred Seaman, who worked with the former Beatle from 1979 until his death in December, 1980, says in a new documentary that the musician had outgrown his radical views and was turning conservative.Seaman is quoted in songwriter-turned-filmmaker Seth Swirsky’s new documentary, “Beatles Stories," according to WENN.com. He says Lennon had become a fan of Ronald Reagan, who was elected U.S. President in 1980.He says, “John made it very clear that if he were an American he would vote for Reagan because he was really sour on (Reagan’s democratic predecessor) Jimmy ...
Ayn Rand as FBI stool pigeon

Writes Mike Holmes: While this disturbing historical tidbit has been revealed before, a new book Writers Under Surveillance details this further. A large number well known 50s-60s era writers were diligently spied upon by J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI based upon suspicions of ideological subversion. Objectivist guru/ founder Ayn Rand was one of the few who volunteered to rat out fellow writers for their supposed Thought Crimes. She wrote Hoover personally to “name names.” Though Rand’s individualist philosophy inspired many young thinkers towards the libertarian direction, she attacked libertarians per se as “hippie anarchists” after purging Murray Rothbard ...
Genocidal racist Arab leader: Ahmad Shukairy, ‘father’ of ‘Apartheid’ slander

The Arab led slur of “apartheid” [a tactic of diverting attention from the largely Arab leaders’ fault in Arabs’ condition, as well as general Arab oppression of its people and discrimination against minorities, with the aim of de-legitimizing Israel’s quest for survival, as if Israel’s security and defense has anything to do with “race”], dates back to an October 1961 speech by Saudi Arabia’s Ahmad Shukairy during a strongly anti-Western chide. He went as far as to object Israel’s right to try Nazi extermination chief of WW2: Adolf Eichmann. [It was amidst a season of strong UN condemnation of South Africa, thus, the Arab icon came up ...

In BriefThe Facts:George Herbert Walker Bush had a meeting with Shafiq bin Laden, the brother of Osama bin Laden, and members of his family the day before and the morning of the 9/11 attacks. It was apparently a routine "business" meeting.Reflect On:Why was there no mention of this within the mainstream? Why no investigations of these connections? Why no hearings or inquiries? Why the total silence?It’s always interesting to read the comments on a post that tries to get to the truth about 9/11. Comments ridiculing these efforts as “conspiracy theory” are still popping up, despite the fact that an overwhelming majority of Americans and global citizens ...
When 100,000 Christians Died for the Bible

“Don’t Eat the Fish:” This might have been the headline of The Paris Times in the autumn of 1572, if such a newspaper had existed. On Aug. 24, 1572 – St. Bartholomew’s Day – and several days thereafter, Frenchmen slaughtered 100,000 of their Huguenot countrymen throughout France – 10,000 in Paris alone. The favorite disposal site, the Seine, the Rhone, and the rivers of France were stained red by the oozing corpses left rotting. Another 6,000 slain downriver in Rouen would have injected the Seine with a fetid ribbon of crimson as it meandered towards the Atlantic. The Loire River valley, so strewn with corpses, brought normally shy and unseen packs of ...
9/11 was a bank heist

Food for thought. 9/11 was a bank heist. As we explain in Splitting Pennies and Splitting Bits - the world is not as it seems. If we can source this untold story even from the JYT then you know it must be real: A team of 30 firefighters and police officers are helping to move the metals, a task that can be measured practically down to the flake but that has been rounded off at 379,036 ounces of gold and 29,942,619 ounces of silver. As layers of debris are peeled away, recovery workers are opening gangways to intact portions of a 16-acre basement that was largely unseen but was a place of spectacular scope in its own right. Just the ...
M*A*S*H Goes to the Junkyard

Fifty years ago this month, William Morrow & Co. published MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors. Attributed to "Richard Hooker," the book was actually composed by Richard Hornberger, a doctor who had served in Korea, and W.C. Heinz, a sportswriter who spruced up the doctor's prose. A couple years later, Robert Altman adapted the novel into a movie, and a couple years after that, the movie's success spawned a long-running TV show. If you're an American born between the beginning of the Cold War and the end of disco, you probably have an opinion or three about the M*A*S*H franchise. In my case, I think the book is fun but unexceptional, the movie is great, and the ...
The Four Disastrous Presidential Policies That Are Destroying the Nation
Post Date: 2018-09-26 07:15:00 by Deckard

The nation is failing as a direct consequence of these four catastrophic policies. It's admittedly a tough task to select the four most disastrous presidential policies of the past 60 years, given the great multitude to choose from. Here are my top choices and the reasons why I selected these from a wealth of policy disasters. 1. President Johnson's expansion of the Vietnam War, which set the stage for President Nixon's continuation of that disastrous war for an additional five years. For those who missed the 30-minute lecture on the Vietnam War in history class, Johnson took a low-intensity guerrilla war in South Vietnam in which the U.S. was supporting a corrupt and venal ...
Plagiarists Or Innovators? The Led Zeppelin Paradox Endures
Post Date: 2018-09-19 09:08:52 by Deckard
1 Comments
from the copying-as-innovation dept Fifty years ago – in September 1968 – the legendary rock band Led Zeppelin first performed together, kicking off a Scandinavian tour billed as the New Yardbirds. The new, better name would come later that fall, while drummer John Bonham’s death in 1980 effectively ended their decade-defining reign. But to this day, the band retains the same iconic status it held back in the 1970s: It ranks as one of the best-selling music acts of all time and continues to shape the sounds of new and emerging groups young enough to be the band members’ grandchildren. Yet, even after all this time – when every note, riff and growl of ...
The Strangest Fires Ever Told (9/11)

The extraordinary claim that fire was the ultimate cause of the complete progressive collapse of three skyscrapers on September 11, 2001 is the flimsy foundation upon which the Police State is being constructed. How realistic is that claim? Ever since a B-25 hit the Empire State Building on the morning of July 28, 1945, high-rises have been designed to withstand the impact of airliners similar to the ones that hit the Twin Towers on 9/11. The Empire State Building, hit on Sat. morning, was back in service in two days. In the case of the Twin Towers, based on a study definitively described in City in the Sky as “the most complete and detailed of any ever made for any building ...
Remember The Pentagon Plane Attack Impossibilities

I have been into 9.11 almost as soon as I saw it on the TV screens of secretaries at my work in 2001. I always thought the “Pentagon Plane was really a missile” story was a fake or government spinned lie to discredit the 9.11 Truth movement. If the witnesses at the WTC, thousands who saw a plane or two hit the Twin Towers then why shouldn’t the witnesses at the Pentagon be believed just as much.However after examining it more extensively and with Pilots for 911Truth getting FOI data showing that the plane actually flew over the building and listening to talks from people who saw no plane debris at the “official” impact site, I changed my mind.The Plane simply does ...
