One of the most articulate voices of our time...

Arundhati Roy - Come Septmeber  Speech --  "In this acclaimed Lannan foundation lecture from September 2002, Roy speaks poetically to: power, the US' War on Terror, globalization, the misuses of nationalism, and the growing chasm between the  rich and poor. With lyricism and passion, Roy combines her literary talents and encyclopedic knowledge to expose injustice and provide hope for a future world."

"The 'Come September'  writing-oratory from Arundhati Roy is as timely today (through September 2010) as it was in September of 2002. Video of her Lannan Foundation sponsored address."

Thanks Bob,

She packed so much information in here that I haven't heard before (and it was so well written), that I'm listening twice.

All these events on 9/11 - I don't like saying this, but it's like the PTB kind of wanted at least the brighter folks to know 9/11 was an inside job. Kind of like the old days when the King would hang someone in the town square, like they're saying, yea we did it and if too many of you get out of line we'll do it again too. I hope I'm not stirring up fear or anger - I'm just trying to figure out if this event was partly intended as a message and what that message is saying.

You have a point there, Wendy.  I honestly hadn't though of that possibility about 9/11.  I read somewhere that the PTB does "tell us" what's coming down by leaving clues --like it's some kind of arrogant compulsion to do this.  Some feel that the showing of the Satanic hand sign by many public figures is an example of that.*  And others say that Washington D.C. has a satanic symbolic layout, as intended by the Masons who designed it.  And the symbols on our money.  A while ago I posted something on the strange murals in Denver airport, which some have analyzed as laying out the entire hellish NWO plan for transforming the world into their idea of an oligarchical techno-paradise.  And there are monuments, gardens, and memorials  in various parts of the world that seem to have Masonic symbols built into their designs, which also often seem to have cryptic messages.  But I'm a little off the track; I didn't mean this to be about Masons (although maybe that's appropriate; I don't know).

Again, you may be right; they wanted us to know at some level.  But, as Stephen Greer says at the beginning of his book, "Hidden Truth, Forbidden Knowledge," they overplayed their hand with 9/11.  Whether out of desperation or arrogance (or both), they left so much evidence that it boggles the mind.  I suspect more people around the world know than they had intended, if that's what they did intend.  And when enough people finally see the big NWO picture, who knows what will happen?  What will happen when the elephant wakes up?  We all have our ideas, but in truth we don't know jack.  We'll know only when it happens.  But one way or another, it will surely be awesome.

*(I've noticed that sometimes these "hand signs" are not distinct.  I maintain that a video recording of any person talking would show that approximate shape of the hand appearing briefly from time to time in the course of natural expressive hand movements.  So when someone claims that some public figure displays the Satanic hand signal, we should probably look carefully for ourselves and decide.  On the other hand, I've seen photos of "W", one of his daughters, Prince William, and Tony Blair, for example, making very well defined hand signs.)

Last word here:  Yes, Arundhati Roy is incredible.  Although she's clarifying and untangling all this unpleasant stuff, I find her very uplifting.  Her spirit is clear, courageous, and bright.  If you like fiction, her first and as yet only (award-winning) novel, "The God of Small Things," is excellent.  Hard to put down.  But it's not like her speech in scope; it's a story about Indian life, but it's also about ordinary human beings, and therefore anyone can find value in it.

Thanks Bob, that was great, and here is the talk with Zinn afterwards...

Arundhati Roy and Howard Zinn - Post Come Septmeber Discussion

The PTB used to house and feed their slaves.  We are well into the experiment where they make the slaves pay for their own room and board, subject them to a futile debt-based system, and convince them that they are in the home of the free and land of the brave....  Social engineering has come a long way baby...
