Scott Horton Interviews Mary Ruwart
May 7th, 2008Mary Ruwart, author of Healing Our World in an Age of Aggression and Libertarian Party presidential candidate, discusses the similarities in how our government provoked 9/11 and the attack on Pearl Harbor, how our militaristic over-reaction to 9/11 has hindered our apprehension of Bin Laden and increased the danger of terrorism, how America needs to nurture free trade policies to build relationships with foreigners, our misguided immigration policies, how an armed populace would reduce crime and may have prevented 9/11, the threats to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, how slashing governmental regulation will boost the economy and job market, how she means to pick up where Ron Paul left off with her Libertarian run for president, and how the American people should decide our foreign policy.

I had to quit this interview after five minutes. No Muslims did 9/11. Bin Laden SAID he didn’t do 9/11. Continuing to perpetuate this disinformation only serves the interests of those who actually did 9/11. 9/11 was not blowback. 9/11 was a frame-up.

McCain pushes confrontation with Russia and China because he and his friends have lots of shares in the arms industry. So, unless they may realize that a First-Strike Capability is suicidal because of Russian Launch On Warning, we are doomed. With Launch On Warning it´s only a question of time.

Having listen to the broadcast and read the content, I have a question for Mary.
“Mary J. Ruwart, Ph.D. is a former pharmaceutical research scientist and Assistant Professor of Surgery.”
How did someone with so much scientific training, which must have involved at some point not only a latent, but encouraged analytical talent suddenly lose this ability so badly?
New Ager?
I’ve just had a read of Mary’s brief bio on her own site and from that site I quote from a description of her book, “bridging the gap between conservatives and liberals, Christians and New Agers”.
As a “New Ager” I can tell you, I completely divorce myself from the insanity of this deluded woman’s views.
In short, Mary, are you nuts?

It always seems to be the people who want peace who get labelled “nuts.” Sad.
