		<title>Truefaction Founder Yt/cosmos Busted As A Fraud Once And For All</title>
		<link>http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=22055</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello everyone, <br /><br />Remember the whole deal awhile back about the true identity of truthaction founder YT/Cosmos?  He had for the longest time claimed to be a family member of a 9/11 victim, UA93 victim Mark "Mickey" Rothenberg.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.sashaliu.com/the_hard_evidence/images/cosmos.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /><br /><br /><img src="http://truthactionottawa.com/main/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/cosmos-267x300.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /><br /><br />No one would have ever questioned this if Cosmos didn't engage in behavior consistent with that of an <i>agent provocateur</i>, but Cosmos has attacked many of the finest activists and researchers in the movement, including Kevin Barrett, Pilots for 9/11 Truth, Citizen Investigation Team, and even David Ray Griffin.  He claims to do this because he sees himself as a "responsible" truther and he declares the above people/groups to be "irresponsible" truthers who in some way are "hurting the movement."  You know the old saying, when a person points the finger too much, it's time to start looking at the person who's doing the pointing.<br /><br />In addition to his suspicious behavior, there were a couple of other anomalies.  Cosmos' story fluctuated, sometimes referring to Mickey as an "uncle," and later, a "family friend."  And also, I publicly speculated that "Cosmos" might be one in the same with a person called Andrew Bernstein, an official story supporter who also publicly identified himself as a nephew of Rothenberg.  It appears that I was incorrect in this particular speculation, because I did find <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/andrew-bernstein/3/645/89b" target="_blank">the actual Andrew Bernstein</a>, with a different face from "Cosmos" and whose description matches how he is introduced in an <a href="http://www.aintitcool.com/node/23185" target="_blank">online article from 2006.</a><br /><br />However, though the possibility of Cosmos and Bernstein being the same person was eliminated, my original expose did leave unanswered questions.  Namely, whether the real survivors of Rothenberg actually have a close "family friend" who goes by the nickname "Cosmos."  After nearly two years since my original speculative article, I finally followed up and gave Rothenberg's widow Meredith a call, to ask if she had ever heard of "Cosmos."  Here is the result:<br /><br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XE8oPaqaQ78" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />She's never heard of him.<br /><br />Of course, this does not prove that Cosmos is an operative whose assignment was to infiltrate the movement.  But it does prove he's a liar and fraud.  Here is how his bio reads at 911TruthNews dot com:<br /><br /><!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Cosmos is a survivor of Mark Rothenberg, a family friend who was murdered on September 11, 2001.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />While Rothenberg, in the phone call, says that her husband traveled a lot, and therefore she didn't know everyone he was friends with, the key word here is <b>family</b> friend.  This would imply that not just Mickey, but also his wife Meredith, and their two daughters, would know who "Cosmos" is.  But she has never heard of him.<br /><br />I was partially inspired to follow up on this after reading about the fake 9/11 survivor "Tania Head," who was actually in Spain on 9/11.  She claimed to be a survivor from <i>above the impact zone</i> in the South Tower.  She also claimed to have lost a fiance/husband (her story kept fluctuating like the Cosmos "uncle"/"friend" thing) in the North Tower.<br /><br />Now, the person's name who she gave as her fiance really did exist.  When people skeptical of the fiance/husband fluctuation decided to follow up and see if the name of the supposed fiance existed on the official death roster, they found that indeed he did exist.  At that point, the skeptics of Head's story backed off and assumed that because the name really existed, that Tania's story was true.  It wasn't until later, when people went the extra mile and contacted the family of the supposed fiance, that the family responded that they'd never heard of Tania.<br /><br />Anyway, I see this as the final nail in the coffin for fake 9/11 victim "family member"... wait... "family friend" Cosmos/YT.  So Cosmos, how will you now modify your bio?  I can just imagine:<br /><br /><!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Cosmos is a survivor of Mark Rothenberg, a close personal friend who died on 9/11, who always visited Cosmos when on business in San Francisco.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br /><img src="http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /><br /><br />You've been exposed as a liar and fraud once and for all, Cosmos!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[10/05/2012 1:35:58 PM<br /><br />CBC News <br />An American couple of Middle Eastern descent say they and their 18-month-old daughter were asked to get off a JetBlue plane in Florida because they were told the child is on a no-fly list.<br /><br />The incident happened Tuesday night at an airport in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., as the family was preparing to fly home to New Jersey, WPBF 25 West Palm Beach reported.<br /><br />A JetBlue employee told them they had to leave the plane and that an agent with the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) wanted to speak with them.<br /><br />"He said, 'Well it's not you or your husband - your daughter was flagged as no-fly,'" the girl's mother recalled.<br /><br />"The whole situation was bizarre," she told the TV station. "It made absolutely no sense."<br /><br />They were allowed to re-board the plane about 30 minutes later, but they refused, saying they were too embarrassed to fly on the airline.<br /><br />The couple's young daughter, Riyanna, has been on planes several times before, and even has her own frequent flyer card.<br /><br />Her parents asked that they not be identified. All three members of the family are U.S. citizens and were born and raised in New Jersey, WPBF reported.<br /><br />The girl's father said he thinks they were targeted because the family is of Middle Eastern descent and his wife wears a head scarf.<br /><br />"We were humiliated, we were embarrassed, we were picked on," he said.<br /><br />The airline said the TSA was responsible for the incident, while the TSA said the airline was to blame.<br /><br />Both JetBlue and the TSA said they are investigating.<br /><br /><a href="http://news.sympatico.cbc.ca/world/toddler_on_no-fly_list_and_parents_ordered_off_plane/4fe76421" target="_blank">http://news.sympatico.cbc.ca/world/toddler..._plane/4fe76421</a>]]></description>

		<title>Fukushima Nuclear Disaster</title>
		<link>http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=22050</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Former NSA analyst, Jim Stone has a compelling website. He has had two attempts on his life and had to leave the US and is in Mexico. After an anomoly caused him to research the Fukushima disaster or 3/11, he concluded it was not a natural disaster. Considering the trouble he has stirred up for himself, he may well have struck a nerve, and be onto a significant truth. I have been in touch some him and recommend his site. I suggest spending some time on the report, and interivews. He has had his emails filtered and recently changed email contact. We all know 9/11 was not 19 Arabs, and who the most likely guilty murderers were. Jim Stone makes a compelling link to the same "group". Info on Jim may be on the forum, but I did not see it. Here is the report link: <br /><br /><a href="http://www.jimstonefreelance.com/fukushima1.html" target="_blank">http://www.jimstonefreelance.com/fukushima1.html</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<i>WASHINGTON –  U.S. and Yemeni officials say the supposed would-be bomber at the heart of an Al Qaeda airliner plot was actually an informant working for the CIA.<br /><br />The revelation, first reported by The Los Angeles Times, shows how the CIA was able to get its hands on a sophisticated underwear bomb well before an attack was set in motion.<br /><br />Officials say the informant was working for the CIA and Saudi Arabian intelligence when he was given the bomb. He then turned the device over to authorities. Officials say the informant is safely out of Yemen.<br /><br />The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive intelligence matter.<br /><br />Read more: <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/05/08/al-qaeda-bomber-was-cia-informant-officials-say/#ixzz1uK1CfW1y" target="_blank">http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/05/08/al-qa.../#ixzz1uK1CfW1y</a><br /></i>]]></description>

		<title>Crisis Escalates As Insurrection Breaks German Control Of Europe</title>
		<link>http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=21998</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<b>The political dam has broken in Europe. German Chancellor Angela Merkel no longer has enough allies in the club of EU prime ministers to impose her hairshirt agenda. Her methodical plans are disintegrating on every front. </b><br /><br />The immediate fate of Greece - and the euro - is in the hands of a boyish motorcycle Marxist. Syriza leader deal Alexis Tsipras has vowed to tear up the hated Memorandum, as the EU-IMF "troika" loan package is known.<br /><br />He showed no sign of backing off as he met his country's president and began talks on the formation of an implausible Left front. "The popular verdict clearly renders the bailout null and void," he said.<br /><br />To those who warn that such defiance means an unstoppable lurch towards full default, a banking crash and EMU expulsion, he retorts that Greece has the "ultimate weapon". It can bring down the whole European system if EU leaders refuse to soften the terms.<br /><br />This bluff may be called. "Patience among the creditor countries is running out," said Blanka Kolenikova from IHS Global Insight. Germany's media says finance minister Wolfgang Schauble is itching to force Greece out of the euro as a salutary example, sure that Europe is strong enough to withstand the shock. This, in turn, is an illusion waiting to be punctured.<br /><br />Arnaud Mares from Morgan Stanley said a Greek exit would set off "massive deposit flight" from all the vulnerable EMU states. "It could unravel the single currency altogether." <br /><br />It is an dangerous moment for Europe and global markets. Greece has no functioning goverment. It must decide on a series of bond repayments, starting this week. Tough choices will not wait until fresh elections in June, should they occur.<br /><br />The new bonds issued after private investors suffered a 75pc haircut in March are already trading at levels of extreme distress, with 21pc yields on 10-year debt. The EU deal to end all deals has collapsed after just two months.<br /><br />The disastrous chain of events has essentially discredited the entire crisis policy imposed on Europe by Germany. Combined fiscal and moneary contraction has pushed much of southern Europe into a deflation "death spiral", pulling the rest of Europe down with a delay. Even The Netherlands is now in deep recessoin.<br /><br />Revolt was inevitable. It has finally occured. The European Commission on Tuesday called for an immediate investment blitz to stop the downward slide. This follows hard on the heels of a call by European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi for a "growth compact". The EU insistutions are slipping out of Germany's control.<br /><br />The election of François Hollande in France has radically altered Europe's balance of power, and popular fury has done the rest across a string of democracies.<br /><br />There are signs that Italy may start to tuck in behind France, picking away at the EU Fiscal Compact. Silvio Berlusconi's People of Liberty party said it will not back treaty ratification unless it includes eurobonds and turns the ECB into a lender-of-last-resort. The party rebuked Italy's premier Mario Monti for behaving as "Germany's representative".<br /><br />The party's abrupt shift follows an electoral rout over the weekend in North Italy, where anti-euro maverick Beppe Grillo won 20pc of the vote in Parma and 15pc in Genoa.<br /><br />Mr Monti cannot push the treaty through without Mr Berlusconi's blessing. The carefully-crafted plans for ratification in Berlin and Rome on the same day are in tatters.<br /><br />Mrs Merkel said she will embrace Mr Hollande with open arms but on policy substance she has carried on as if the insurrection never happened. "The fiscal pact is not negotiable," she said, insisting that EU treaties cannot be reopened once parliaments have begun to ratify. This is not true. The European Constitution was abanondoned after France and The Netherlands voted "No" in referendums in 2005.<br /><br />Berlin hopes to assuage Paris with a beefed up role for the European Investment Bank and a growth compact, perhaps tacked on as an annexe to the fiscal treaty. Officals at the Kanzleramt think Mr Hollande's rhetoric was campaign hot air, and that he will switch tack like German Social Democrat Gerhard Schroder a decade ago once in office.<br /><br />This may be a misjudgment, failing to catch the mood of fury in Europe. Mr Hollande was emphatic in his victory speech. "My mission is now to give Europe growth, jobs, prosperity and a future. We are not doomed to austerity," he said. They may call him "Flanby" in France after a brand of caramel pudding but his mildnesss disguises a steely side, and his Socialist base is not to be trifled with.<br /><br />For Germany it is a moment of truth. Berlin has put off hard choices since the crisis began. It has refused eurobonds or budget transfers, stepping back from the Rubicon of fiscal union.<br /><br />Mrs Merkel has insisted on austerity and reforms alone, imposing the full burden of adjustement on the weaker states. She has brushed aside arguments the EMU's crisis is in essence a North-South imbalance in trade and capital flows that cannot be corrected in this fashion within a currency union.<br /><br />Her government has ignored warnings that simultaneous contraction in the whole of southern Europe - without offseting monetary stimulus or expansion in North Europe - can only lead to a replay of the Gold Standard errors of the early 1930s.<br /><br />This phase of the crisis over. Now Germany itself will have to adjust.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/ambroseevans_pritchard/9253207/Crisis-escalates-as-insurrection-breaks-German-control-of-Europe.html" target="_blank">http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance</a><br />]]></description>
