Monarch: The New Phoenix Program

Richard Nixon may have been correct when he said that the U. S. in Vietnam had shown a degree of restraint unprecedented in the annals of war, but not in the way he probably intended that statement to be taken. Here, Marshall Thomas’ “Monarch: The New Phoenix Program” documents various intelligence and military programs which, Thomas contends, are extensions of Vietnam-era assassination programs aimed at neutralizing political dissent in America by means of exotic technology designed to terrorize and harass opponents of the existing order. Errata are here. Thomas’ web site is here. Parts one, two and three are posted in reverse order per Thomas’ instructions for viewing. Certain sections of the three parts have some redundancies, such as the first fifteen minutes of parts one and three, but are unique overall. [END] Permalink: Monarch: The New Phoenix Program

Daniel Hopsicker at the 2008 New England 9/11 Symposium

This wide ranging and highly informative talk by investigative journalist Daniel Hopsicker centers primarily on Hopsicker’s research into the pre-9/11 activities of several alleged 9/11 hijackers including Mohammed Atta in and around Venice, Florida where some of them are supposed to have attended flight school. Hopsicker’s past research has focused on the CIA’s drug trafficking activities in Arkansas and elsewhere and it is partly through these links that his 9/11 information came to light. Hopsicker makes an excellent point in this speech about how full the internet is with mere opinions and suggests that if social activists want to move forward, they ought to consider training in journalism. The video includes footage of Hopsicker’s interview with exotic dancer Amanda Keller, Mohammed Atta’s alleged American girlfriend in Florida.
